[There were few things that Alex liked more than pulling that laugh from him when he didn't want to do it. It brightened her day when things were the worst between them, and it was especially good now that things were well... good. They were together and they were in bed together, and she didn't need to break out her stupid jokes in order to lighten some of the tension that was in the air. She just needed to be herself.
Honestly, she didn't even care about being called delicate or not. At this point, arguing was banter and it was second nature between them, especially when there was no real stakes involved in what it was that they were fighting about. It was just one of the ways that their relationship had changed and evolved over the last two years without Alex really thinking about it.
Snuggling closer to him and resting her head on his shoulder again, she announced in an authoritative tone of voice, but as so often was the case with Alex, one could actually hear the smile inside of it:]
I definitely am a small and delicate flower, Richard Strand.
