A/N: I think Inigo and Severa have great potential to be cute, so I decided to make my own contribution to the couple... sort of. It is really just them picking on each other, yeah. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you thought. :)

Honey
"I said stop it."
Severa growls threateningly at the insufferable man trailing closely behind her. His facial features and physique may be pleasant, but his persistence was not – in fact, it is the most annoying thing to have entered her life. It is thanks to this particular man that she is once again asking herself why she had to be the one to constantly attract the attention of any imbecile within a twenty mile radius (Cynthia and Morgan come to her mind then, ugh). Is there a sign on her back that told them to flock to her like mindless flies to a light?
"Oh, come on, it wasn't that bad!" Inigo cries desperately in an effort to defend his decisions. Sure, he is known for spewing sweet nothings to ladies he has just met, but this situation was absolutely different. Severa is not just some lady he met on his trip to a market, she is someone he genuinely cares about.
A drawn out, overly dramatic sigh comes from Severa then as she stops dead in her tracks and whirls around to meet his gaze. "It was that bad!" She shouts and balls her fists up as to contain her urge to start beating sense into him right then and there. "Don't call me honey."
For a moment, Inigo looks as if he is considering abiding to her wishes, but it dies all too soon as a sly smirk slides its way into place. "Oh, but Severa, you're exactly like honey, you're absolutely dripping in sweet," He says with the sarcasm in his tone laying itself on thick especially towards the end. It is when her raging eyes change from extremely wide to tiny slits that Inigo begins to snicker deviously and wonder what he would do with his life if he did not have a girl around like this to torment.
"You're such an ass, I should wipe that smirk from your face permanently," Severa snarls and instinctively reaches for her sword.
"Eh? That's too cruel!" Inigo cries and holds his hands up in surrender.
"That's what I thought," she says with a huff and turns back around.
"Honey is so touchy…" Inigo mumbles loud enough for her to hear and looks away.
Freezing in her tracks once more, Severa feels the heat in her face and the level of her fury rise to the same depths as hell. Spinning on her heel quickly, Severa pulls her sword from its sheath in one swift movement while growling with the intention to spill blood… which may have happened if Inigo was not already laughing nervously and making for his escape.
Watching the pathetic man run away, Severa lets out the breath she was holding in and allows her slim shoulders to slump a little. As Inigo disappears from her line of vision, Severa lets her guard down and reluctantly allows the burning in her cheeks to change from that of anger to embarrassment. She is not sweet like honey…. Stupid Inigo and his stupid pick-up lines.
