A drabble I did about my favorite Disney couple from my favorite Disney movie. Rated M for sex. ~Scarlet Criminal "How Do You Tell?"
It was another normal Thursday night in New York. Giselle rested her head on Robert's shoulder after dinner as the two lover's sit on the couch together, enjoying the outside sounds of The Big Apple: cars, trucks, and taxis passing by on the streets, the occasional ambulance. It had been ages since Robert had ever left a window open. But it pleased Giselle so much, he couldn't refuse.
Quietly, he played with Giselle's soft orange curls with his fingers.
"Robert…" She said slowly, once of her famous I-have-a-question looks sprouting on her face. "I feel…strange."
"Strange?"
"Yes. Like I'd really like to do something, but I'm not quite sure what that something is."
Robert's thoughts shifted. He Knew one day Giselle would feel the obvious feelings of want. Desire. Lust. What was he to say? He wanted her too, but how was he supposed to let her know? Tell her? Just blatantly show her?
"Giselle, honey, do you know where babies come from?"
Although he felt he was talking to his six year old Morgan, he figured it was always best to start basic.
Giselle furrowed her eyebrows. What a peculiar question to ask her after she'd tried to reveal she was feeling some strange new emotion that she wanted her one true love to explain. Nonetheless, she knew Robert must have a good reason, so she answered.
"Of course I do, Robert! When and man and woman love each other very much they-,"
"O-okay, okay. So you know what sex is."
"Sex?" Giselle repeated, her eyes glowing bright and a grin spreading like butter across her rosy cheeks. "What's that?"
Robert stared back at her, his expression clearly showing his disbelief.
"Never mind, please continue."
"Well, they share a true love's kiss, of course. And, after they are married, they spend time together as lovers and decide to have a baby. So they go to the enchanted forest and pick a flower from the honeysuckle tree of wonder. And then the honey suckle they choose gets visited by a cute little bumble bee that pollinates it so that the woman can eat it. Once it's inside her, the flower grows and grows into a baby until it comes out! I'm a little fuzzy on how exactly they get the baby out, but I'm sure it's a most magical and beautiful experience." She giggled as she finished, grinning her heart out.
"I don't know if you're using a metaphor or your people really do choose their children from trees."
"You mean there are no honey suckle trees in Manhattan?"
Robert sighed. Why wasn't there some place he could go to where it was women's job to tell daughters about this sort of thing? It would make his life so much easier to have someone to explain all of it to the two most important girls in his life. But he loved Giselle, and that was worth having to stumble over a rough and awkward explanation of something she would thank him for later.
"Giselle…when a man and woman fall in love here, they have sex."
"I already have a sex, Robert. I am a female."
Robert bit his lip.
"Yes, but not that kind of sex…" He looked into her question filled eyes. She batted them behind her long lashes, looking ever so adorable.
"Why does she have to be so perfect and yet so…"
"I apologize, Robert. I don't mean to upset you."
"No, no. I'm not upset. That's not it. Giselle, why don't we all get to sleep? It's kind of late."
"Okay. I'll go say good night to Morgan."
"Good." Robert watched as his almost-princess got up (giving him a light peck on the cheek) and skipped down the hallway. He sighed.
"Why does she have to be so innocent?"
Like? R&R please! (I don't expect much for this. LOL.)
