Moving Day
For someone who'd been seeing the same girl for two years, Jack was putting a lot of thought into which drawers he should empty for Kal. The right side, or the left? The right side or the left of the closet? What should he pack up for storage so she would have enough space? Did he have time before she arrived with her first(?) load of things?

He wanted to get this right, and he could just hear Kalypso tell him it didn't matter. It most likely didn't. Sharing had never been their problem.

Face it, Murdock, you want to make sure she doesn't regret moving in.

He went with the same side she slept on when she stayed over... the middle. Right where he liked to sleep, holding on to carry her into his dreams.

One saving grace was that Kal didn't have a lot of possessions. She had clothes, some books and a laptop. She wasn't one for collecting things. That was Mom's department.

Best part was that she could get it all in one trip. Not by car or cab of course, but a little telekinesis and some flight and the job was done. It took a few minutes to get to Jack's and Kal touched down lightly on the fire escape, her belongings floating next to her.

She knocked on the window.

	Jack was halfway into the closet pushing stuff to one side, and yanking out a few of his older shirts to get rid of, when he heard the knock. He leaned back to look out at his window visitor. "This is the last time you knock," he said with in a mock serious tone as he opened it for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kal smiled brightly. "Yes, sir. I really like the sound of that. If you'll step back, I'll get this stuff inside."

It was strange. She was nervous for some weird reason. Sure they had been together for two years, but moving in together was a big step. Though she did get an "It's about time" from her mother. Kal was honestly surprised Sersi hadn't moved everything over herself. Her mother was like that.

	He stepped back as requested. "I cleared some space, but feel free to make any changes you want. Except for my drafting table." He had it in the absolute best light in the small apartment, though he would move it if she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you," she said as she moved the items into the apartment. "I don't have much. Just some clothes, some books and a laptop." She climbed in the window. "I had to convince my mother that she didn't need to go shopping and redecorate the place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You told her, huh? It might've been fun to see how long it would take her to notice." He moved in a kiss, important things first, and hugged her just for the sheer happiness. Kal moving in felt good, right. "Anything you want me to do? Carry?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Her arms wrapped around him and she kissed him. Moving in and being with him felt right. "I did," she said when the kiss ended. "She was a little happy. She offered to help me move and of course redecorate the place. I told her that after we're settled she can come over and not before." Kal smiled. "Me. That's the only thing you have to do.

	Kal giggled as he spun her around. "I love you, Mr. Murdock. With all of my heart." She smiled and kissed him. "We should celebrate tonight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What did you have in mind, sweetheart?" He put her down and looked at what she brought. She really didn't have a lot with her. He hoped that wasn't because she was afraid of crowding him out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think I'd like you all to myself for the first night. Tomorrow is soon enough to think about outside." He kissed her. "Are you sure I can't help you unpack or undress or something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-08-02 02:40 am UTC (link)
	"You got me anyway you want me," Kal said with a small smile. "I always need help undressing and you do it so well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Instant want, tempered with she's living with ME glee. No one ever accused him of will power when it came to Kal, but he really wanted her to be moved in. "I'll help you unpack. Then I know you're staying>" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, but I'm not going anywhere. A herd of wild horses couldn't get me to leave." Kal looked around. "We might as well start with my clothes seeing how I'll need those." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He took her hands in his and kissed each one. "I know, I'm being stupid. We have plenty of time to get you unpacked." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal smiled and kissed his forehead. "You're excited. It's excusable. Let's unpack a bit and then you can worship me properly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He put the first case on the bed and gave her a smirk. "Now we'll have to get it done so we can use the bed later." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Silly man," she said. "If I don't unpack some now I'll never unpack." She picked up a box and sat it on a chair. She opened it and started pulling out clothes. "What does your parents think of me moving in?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well," he opened the case. "Mom said she hoped I knew what I was doing and reminded me that if I insisted on making her a grandmother, she expected us to consider moving to San Francisco so she could have a hand in raising the baby. Dad said he thought you were a very fine person and that he had faith we would be happy as long as we were willing to accept the each other's differences."

	"I'm glad you told them," she said. "I would hate to be curled up in bed and have them show up one day and wonder what I was doing here along with my stuff." She pulled out some clothes from the box and laid them on a dresser. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't think they were surprised, even after a couple of awkward conversations with Dad making sure that I was behaving responsibly." Things on hangers went directly into the closet. "They like you. Mom once even went so far to say she was glad you weren't Russian." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will take that as a compliment coming from your mother," she said with a smile. She opened a drawer and started tossing underwear in there. "I'm glad they're okay with it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
