Title: Structured Complexity, 4/?
Author: rache14
Characters/Pairing: Megan/Larry, some Charlie/Amita, Eppes men
Summary: Charlie ponders Larry's behavior. Larry reconnects with someone.
Larry arrived at the YMCA with a few minutes to spare. Megan's Krav Maga class would be letting out soon. He leaned against his car and waited. It wasn't much of a wait, as he soon saw her exit the building. She smiled instantly when she saw him, and walked over.
"Hello, love." He presented her with the flowers.
Her smile only brightened. She wrapped her arms around him and leaned in for a kiss. "You're too sweet, you know that?"
He chuckled lightly against her lips. "Mm, yes, I believe you have mentioned that a few times."
"Well, it'll never stop being true." She gazed at him lovingly. He blushed and ducked his head, opening the door for her.
They were headed back to Megan's place to prepare for their date. It'd been far too long since the two had shared a romantic dinner. A nice evening out was on the top of Megan's to-do list, which of course meant that it was a priority for Larry. The decision was unanimous; they'd be enjoying Ethiopian tonight.
**************
After dinner, the couple had changed into more casual clothes and gone to the park. They spread out a blanket on the grass and engaged in one of Larry's favorite pastimes - stargazing. She could listen to him go on about the cosmos for an endless amount of time. Even when he became so engrossed in his own mind about it all, just watching him was amazing. She adored the sight of him completely absorbed in the subject he so dearly loved. For Megan, this was certainly more romantic than any dinner. Larry loved to share his mind's passion with his heart's passion.
Silence fell between the pair as they sat staring up into the sky. Their hands rested mere centimeters apart, and Megan closed the distance by intertwining their fingers. She then pulled their joined hands up and kissed his. He looked over and she spoke, a wide smile on her face. "I love you, Larry."
A smile to match hers quickly spread across his face and he returned her sentiment. "I love you too, Megan."
Heads turned and lips met for a kiss that was as long as it was sweet. Megan then situated herself in front of Larry and snuggled back into his chest. His arms came around to hug her to him. Contented sighs were released simultaneously.
**************
At the Eppes house, another dinner was taking place. Present tonight were all three of the Eppes men and Amita. Not surprisingly, Larry had once again been brought up for discussion - by Charlie, of course. Alan and Don groaned, as they had been forced to listen to the other two arguing for about twenty minutes already. Amita gave him a pointed look, but he refused to relent. "What? I shouldn't be worried about a friend?"
"There's a fine line between worry and obsession," Alan told his younger son.
"I'm not obsessing, just curious."
Don rolled his eyes. "You know what they say about curiosity..."
"Lucky for you all, I'm not a cat."
"Oh, yeah, lucky us," Amita put in.
The elder Eppes men smirked, while the younger pouted.
