The words make her eyes sting. Elektra finds herself grateful they're in the shower. She'd hate to be seen as the sentimental creature she is even by Frank. That is all the reassurance she needs. Elektra lets herself fall over the edge, riding each wave of pleasure until the end.

For a moment she lets herself be limp in his arms. Her fingernails come out of the flesh in his back. Elektra appreciates the connection. For this moment she doesn't feel so alone in the world. She sighs mournfully before cutting her own moment short in true Elektra fashion. She unhooks her legs, trusting him to let her down.

Her eyes flutter shut as they kiss, lashes brushing against his cheekbones. They don't open until the weight of his head settles against hers. She realizes that even she could afford to run the shower forever, the water is cold by now. Their combined heat isn't going to change that. She reluctantly draws away from him to turn it off. Neither seem in a rush to leave, but Elektra knows she better take the lead on it. They might actually stand here for an hour otherwise.

Her hands go to a mess of soaked curls that she rings out. She steps out of the shower feeling sated and tired. She retrieves a towel to dry off with, tossing another Frank's way, before concerning herself with drying off. It isn't until she has a towel wrapped around her middle that Elektra breaks the comfortable silence again. "Could you dry my hair?" She offers him another towel. Elektra may never allow herself the luxury of missing anything, but that doesn't mean those needs don't lurk beneath the surface. She isn't any less starved for touch no matter what lies she tells herself.

It works better than she expected. The simple act of helping maintain her hair makes her feel full. She likes that he cares enough to take his time and do it right. Elektra realizes in this moment she wouldn't mind doing this forever. She indulges in the idea that she just might before the next world-changing event takes place, eyes closing for the moment.

"It would be nice to sleep for a year after this." It's both an observation and suggestion. Elektra is tired. Everything outside this place is too loud and chaotic. She could use some rest from it with him.

She smiles warmly at the gesture and his easy agreement. Elektra is completely charmed by him. It takes her by surprise even now that she lets him in this much. She reaches up to run the tips of her fingers along his jawline fondly before breaking away to head toward her room. She ignores her discarded clothes along the way.

There will be time to take care of their shared space later. Right now she just wants to get ready for bed and hope the roof doesn't fall on them. They do have rotten luck.

It's one of life great ironies that the only time she actually dresses comfortably is off the battlefield. Just like him she can rush through a routine without any effort. Elektra just likes to savor the little luxuries. What she considers a luxury changes with Frank around.

Her mouth goes uncharacteristically dry when he leans over her. It leaves Elektra scrambling to move from her comfy position to down some of the water he's brought greedily. Once the bottle is put aside again, she lays on her side. Her fingers dart out to trace a scar on his arm simply because she can. Elektra pointedly doesn't let herself remember the last time she allowed herself be this carefree with a man. The answer will just spoil the moment.

Some people might find it intimidating to be on other end of his gaze. Elektra is sure the same can be said for her. Men have literally thrown themselves to their deaths rather face Elektra Natchios. Right now she isn't a terrifying force of nature. Her gaze is soft and endlessly fond. Despite that initial impulse to run when she spotted the tattoo, the assassin finds herself increasingly reluctant to leave his side much less turn away from Frank.

A small smile makes it way onto her lips as she reaches out again to trace that roadmap of scars starting from his left shoulder. "Hi." It is only when she catches the edge of the mark Zemo left on him that she bothers to ask, "Do you still paint it on?" It might come off as flippant, but this is her way of inching closer to accepting the change and all the unpleasant things it reminds her of.

Elektra actually laughs at the idea. It makes for a ridiculous picture. That's levity they could always use so she enjoys it for what it is. "I don't think you could fit your arm into my costume." She points out frankly. Her waistline might actually be the size of one of his arms. (Depending on the artist.)

"If you are interested, I could pull some strings with my fashion designer." She teases. Of course she has a fashion designer. Who else would fill such an insane order?

"I have many skills, but creating clothes isn't one of them." Elektra points out frankly. She's feeling light and in the interest of honesty, the assassin admits this much: "I tried once and it didn't survive the battle." In a rare show, she's a little embarrassed by it. The #trauma didn't help, but yeah. She really did try to just wrap white silk around her body and was shocked it didn't work out.

"I can draw which suits my designer just fine. They ensure it doesn't fall apart like that suit did." It takes a second for the question to properly filter through. Once it does, Elektra raises a brow. "Do you not like my suits?"

Elektra takes a cue from Frank. She settles her weight into the bed, head resting against it soundly. On that same cue, she yanks most of the blankets towards her. His absence only made her blanket hogging tendencies worse. Her hand stays on his chest as her eyes close, needing that physical reminder of his presence. She smiles at him, big and endlessly fond which as always isn't easy for her. "I'd hope not. It's a good view."

They're together again. It feels amazing to joke and be human with anyone again much less Frank. "You owe me a year of sleep."

Her eyes creep open to see what he's doing. What a sentimental fool. She loves that about him. "Not even a half a year? You wound me." Elektra complains emptily.

"Three days at most." Elektra corrects wryly. She'd be ready to crawl out of her skin after that. She always needs another fight. It's that self-awareness that prompts her to think maybe they should go for the one right in front of their faces.

A brow shoots up as she asks seriously, "Should we concern ourselves with your enemies? SHIELD is fairly useless. Fury Sr. was just as likely to hire men like that as he was to take them down." She hasn't encountered Jr. at all. She can't help wondering if that was intentional after everything that happened between her and that Nick Fury.

"Foolishness runs in the family." She responds absently. Elektra can get caught up in her own head. It's fairly easy when you're a solitary creature with no shortage of enemies. Even her very justified paranoia about who may want to break down the door isn't going to make her oblivious to how pleasant his touch is.

She sighs contently as those callous scratch against her flesh. It makes it harder to focus on the topic at hand which she's sure is by design. At least this time she's fairly certain her paranoia is baseless. No one expects them together. If they only plan for one, their victory is inevitable. She lets the thought lull her into quieting the voices that have kept her alive so far. "What about today?"
complexities: (Because all this time)

Elektra isn't all that sure what time it is either. The truth is it really doesn't matter. They can do whatever they want. They earned as much. "There must be something you want to do with the time we have left. You were the one in prison." She wasn't exactly suffering most of the time given her eccentric rich girl lifestyle.
