I now exactly how you feel, Rose... it happens to me at about 3:30 every morning. Still haven't figured out what it is that wakes me.
He’d been pushing himself hard on his latest case-the murder of a young orphan--and the lack of anyone in the neighbourhood seeming to care only fuelled Peter and Elias’s determination to find out who’d deemed the lad a liability.
Superhero!Peter&Elias! defending the defenseless, finding justice for the victims. That's why we love them so :) well, one of the reasons...
It appeared Peter was home, after all-and that he’d stripped as he crossed the room.
brain just 'sploded.
She heard a soft sigh, and the equally soft lapping of water, and she gently pushed the door open.
so she slept through the sound of the tub being filled with water ? that's amazing... of all the sounds that would wake me (and I sleep like the dead - my comments about waking at 3:30 lately notwithstanding, I slept through fire alarms in the dorms all the time, and through the toilet on the other side of the wall from my bed being snaked by a plumber when I was a kid) that rushing sound would probably be one, if for no other reason than to make me need to use the loo !
He was reclining against the head of the tub, his head tilted back, his eyes closed. His hair clung damply to his forehead-he’d no doubt slipped into the water, had run his hands through his hair, and then had relaxed.
oh.dear.god.iz.ded.
the piece of furniture was useful for holding clothing whilst one or both of them bathed.
I see how you slipped that in there... expecting us not to notice ;)
I adore the image of Rose just massaging Peter's head and neck while he dozes in the water. It's so intimate without being sexual and I think it is a really good representation of their relationship...
The water ran down his body, splashing where it landed around his knees, and he pushed his dripping hair back from his forehead before looking up to her.
*K*A*T*H*U*N*K*
She stood by the mat, waiting for him to step out of the tub;
heart racing at all the pretty laid out before her, I'm sure :)
he quirked a small smile at her, letting her gaze openly at him for a few moments.
what was it you said the other day about him not really knowing how pretty he is ? I don't believe it for a *SECOND*
she watched as a chill passed through him, spurring him out of the tub and into the towel held in her arms.
images of his beautiful bum covered with goosebumps.
iz.ded.
“Took a bit of a beating last night. This morning, really.”
we sometimes forget that he's a cop. i mean, we know it... and obviously he gets hurt but this sort of mundane pummeling isn't something we think of with him. i don't think of Peter punching someone... he's such a cerebral cop, that the physical side seems so distant.
“I can take care of myself, y’know.”
Yes, Peter, we know you can... but when someone is there for you, let them take care of you for a change. jeeeez. stubborn much ?
another lovely vignette :)

Have you checked the bathtub? ;)
brain just 'sploded.
So you wouldn’t want me to describe how he snuck into the room, already pulling his jumper off; how he toed off his shoes as he unbuttoned his shirt. How he slipped out of his trousers and pants over by the wardrobe, then walked towards the bed, discarding his shirt…and how he paused, briefly, at the bed to place a kiss over Rose’s cheek before moving to the en-suite?
Ok.

She did. Peter closed the door behind him, and then filled the tub. And once it was done, he cracked open the door to try to get a bit of a light breeze in the loo.

This *is* the super-duper Torchwood Tub, which is far more comfortable than your bog-standard bath tub. So of course they’ve both used it at the same time. :)

Thank you.

Oh yes. And the thought that all of that pretty is *hers*.

It’s a bit odd, Peter’s habit on this. He knows Rose loves looking at him, and he loves letting her. But he still doesn’t quite get why *other* people find him so damned sexy.

It’s not an action Peter makes a habit of. But in this instance…he and Elias got the suspect pinned down. And then the perp recognized Peter, and was like “No way am I getting nicked by the boytoy of Rose Bloody Tyler”; so he was able to shove Elias out of the way, to the ground, and grabbed Peter’s arm in the process. Peter, of course, took exception to this and decked the guy. And then there was a scuffle, which is how Peter got kicked in the leg-the perp trying to knock his leg out from under him, if not outright break the thing-and then the last-ditch punch to the lower back. Elias has a few bruises, too ;)
another lovely vignette :)
Thank you.

And then spent not a little time contemplating his wife while having his soak? XD

The first thing I picture when I think of them taking a bath together is still Rose giving Peter Ferris-Bueller-in-the-shower hair.
But he still doesn’t quite get why *other* people find him so damned sexy.
And that lasts beyond him getting mercilessly flirted with by colleagues of both genders at the Met?

One imagines that upon finding out he got the crap kicked out of him by said boytoy, his cellmates will provide humiliations galore.

Indeed. Only he was a bit *too* tired to properly contemplate her.

Peter: Ro-ose, what are ye doing?
Rose: Shhh. Just let me play.

It does. Peter's got a lovely little ego, but it doesn't extend to his physical attributes--in large part because his physical attributes were so solidly used as a weapon against him when he was younger.
his cellmates will provide humiliations galore.
That's a very safe statement, yes.
