I'm quite new to the HMC bookverse (as in, I read HMC for the first time four days ago), but I really just wanted to try my hand at fanfiction for it. Howl and Sophie are such a refreshingly different couple I had to try. Tell me if I seem OOC.
I, of course, own nothing.
Sophie was just moments from falling into a deep sleep when she felt Howl sit bolt upright next to her in bed. "Oh my God!"
Of course he waited until she was nearly asleep to have his epiphany. She groaned. "What is it?"
"You…" He stopped, and for once it actually sounded like he was trying to think before he spoke. "When you get old, you're not going to turn into the same nagging crone you were earlier, are you?"
He was lucky she didn't have the energy to speak. Otherwise, he might have wound up with a pillow lodged in his mouth. How was she to know what things would be like 70 years from now, assuming they both managed not to kill each other in that time? With a massive effort she finally forced herself to reply. "Go to sleep, Howl."
He had almost managed to do just that when it was Sophie's turn to sit up suddenly with a gasp. "I thought you were going to sleep," he muttered at her.
"What if… what if the baby turns out to be just like you?"
