Veronica massaged her temples. "Are you trying to tax my nerves? Because you're succeeding."

Logan draped himself over the back of her chair. "Don't be like that, Darling."

Veronica kept a stern face. She was not going to laugh. That would only encourage future antics. "Logan, I need to work."

He leaned down and began biting her earlobe. "Really? Because I have something a lot more fun in mind that we can do."

"Logan, stop," she begged even as she tilted her head to give him access to her neck.

He feasted on her and she felt her insides melt, her reasons for saying no escaping her mind.

She stood up and turned around. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a devouring kiss.

He might be annoying, but he was right. This was a lot more fun.

The Flash, Joe West/Caitlin Snow

Though it's possibly the most inopportune time that it could happen, Harry's voice suddenly sounds in Caitlin's head. Not smiling Harry either, not the Harry he'd turned into when he'd got to know them. This is the voice of Harry at his most grumpy, an echo of something he'd said about some harebrained scheme that Cisco or Barry had come up with.

"Is there a tax on stupidity on this Earth that I'm not aware of? Is that how you're keeping the lights on in this place?"

He'd rarely directed that tone at her, but she hears it now as if he had, as if he was standing right there in the room with her. It gives her pause for a second, but only for a second.

It's still enough for Joe to notice, to pull away from her and frown. "You ok?" he asks, running a hand down her back and she nods as she reaches out to cup his face with her hand.

"Never better." She tilts her head then, lifts an eyebrow in exaggerated thought. "Well... maybe..."

Joe chuckles, understanding her meaning perfectly. "Let's see what we can do about that," he says as he pulls her close and kisses her again.

She kisses him back, banishes Harry's words to the far corner of her mind. It's easily done because she's already thought of all the reasons why what she's doing is stupid. She's thought about the difference in ages, the difference in their stages in life, the fallout with her friends that could result.

She's thought about it and if what she's doing is stupid, then for once in her life, she's fine with it.

Ha!
