A soft noise escaped Matt at the soft kisses Kate doted on him. It was sweet and intimate, even when he teasingly huffed, "I don't push. I lovingly nudge at best." Already an established in-joke between them. Funny how quickly that had become established, how easily things fell into place with one another so far. He'd already known some of her habits because they were close friends who had stayed at one another's apartments in the past, but it had only grown stronger since getting together. Now he also knew what it was like to be together in the bathroom when the shower was running, or to share a bed at night.

He was still nervous, still unsure about this entire endeavor, but he trusted Kate. She wouldn't do anything to harm him. Letting his fingers thread through her hair, he licked his lips and asked, "So when do we want to do this? I'm guessing it should be a night where we're probably in pretty good shape." The last thing he wanted would be to ruin the magic of it all by either of them being too injured or distraught in real life to enjoy being together in dreams. He didn't want to put too much pressure on seeing anyone else but her - all the better to be pleasantly surprised than disappointed, right? "It would be nice to see you, Lucky, the cats. Our friends. Really though, even just seeing you feels like more than enough. It's certainly more than I ever thought possible."

A beat, then he teasingly asked, "What if you dream you have blue hair that night?"
