Valentine Card
A/N: This is kind of AU but the story popped in my head and I wanted to do a Valentine's Day fic. In this story Numair and Daine are marries and Daine is having a baby. If my information is mixed up remember I'm only up to Lady Knight in the book.
"Daine," Numair Salmalin called to his wife as he entered to door of their suite. He was stomping and his tone was annoyed. "Where are you?"
"In here," Daine called.
Numair followed where her voice had come from and went to their bedchamber, where Daine sat propped up on pillows, reading a book that she had resting on her pregnancy-swollen belly.
"You seem annoyed Numair," she said lowering her book. "Didn't you like my Valentine's Day card?"
"Like your card?" Numair mimicked. "Well I would have if not for the fact that because of your card I am now a joke to every person in the entire royal congress."
"Well it seemed appropriate when I picked it out at Hallmark." Her voice was even but her satisfied smirk caused Numair's blood to boil. "I am a wildmage after all."
"Well, mayhaps I should tell you the entire story. Then, you'll realize the damage your little card has made," he was annoyed not angry. He opened his mouth and began his story.
!!! Twenty minutes ago !!!
Numair Salmalin pretended to listen as yet another conservative droaned on and on about something that no one else in the room seemed to really care about.
Looking around, he cautiously flipped through the files laid before him until he came upon and square green envelope with his name written on it in Daine's handwriting.
Slowly he slipped the card under the table, opened it as quietly as he could and slipped the card out. The cover was nice enough, but then he opened the card and…
Wild thang,You make my heart sang,
You make everything…
Groovy!
Numair quickly shut the card as every eye in the hall flew to him.
"Um, uh, well." He sputtered, running his hands through his guiltily. "D-d- daine sent me a card."
He held up the card at the raised eyebrows of the conservative that currently had the floor.
Bowing his head in a pathetic attempt to hide his scarlet flushed face, Numair politely waited for the man to finish before excusing himself.
!!! Current time !!!
Numair regained the blush he had had earlier when, after finishing the humiliating story, Daine started laughing her head off.
"It's not funny," he huffed indignantly.
"Oh, but it is." She choked out between her barking laughs.
Because of the both the humiliation and the lack of sympathy Numair quickly turned on his heals and stocked of to one of the palace libraries, doing his to ignore the constant attack of sarcastic "Hey Wild Thang" 's.
Numair groaned. Why did news have to travel so quickly in this gods forsaken palace?
A/N: I know you'll probably all hate it but I was watching one of those Hallmark commercials about the singing cards and I thought that the "Wild Thing " commercial would be funny for Daine and Numair. Please review!
