Red dusted around their newest safe house, sneezing when it went into his nose. This was horrible. He should have hired someone to come through before hand to clean. This house hadn't been used in years, and it looked like it.

"I think that you're fighting a loosing battle," Liz stated as she walked into the room. A cobweb was still dangling from her hair from where she had been cleaning. Red reached forward and plucked it off.

"This place has definitely gotten out of hand. I need a vacuum for the dust," Red complained before sneezing again. Liz sighed and ran her hands across his chest and over his shoulders.

"Maybe, we should take a break," she said, wrapping her arms around him. He gave a coy smile before putting his arms around her waist and pulling her closer. Liz rolled her eyes at him like that hadn't been what she had meant but still leaned up and kissed him. She could feel him smile into it before deepening the kiss.

Red was almost certain that's this was heaven. He was away from the city and getting to kiss the woman he loved. Of course, he couldn't ignore the fact that she loved him back. That thought made his heart flutter in his chest. Unfortunately, that was like how the dust was fluttering in the air around him.

Oh no. He had just breathed part of it into his nose. Now, he desperately needed to sneeze but didn't want to break the contact with Lizzie. Maybe, he could hold it? It started to feel like it was fading a little. Unfortunately, it didn't stay like that. Instead, he ended up sneezing in Liz's face.

"I swear that I didn't mean to," Red blurted out with a horrified expression. Liz grimaced and rubbed a hand across her face as if to brush away the sneeze. Thankfully, Red didn't actually get anything on her.

"It's fine. Let's just try this again," she said and put her arms back around him. Hesitantly, he leaned down and pressed his lips against hers. This time he didn't sneeze which let the kiss get deeper and more passionate. Liz tugged Red back towards the sofa behind them. When they got there, they did an ungraceful flop which sent up a plume of dust. Red didn't even have time to consider holding back before he ended up sneezing on Liz again.

"This isn't the kind of getting wet that I had in mind," Liz muttered as she brushed off where he had spit on her a little.

"I'm sorry, Lizzie," he said before sneezing to the side. "This dust in killing me," he added before sneezing again. Liz gave him a look of pity and patted his shoulder. "Just let the air clear for a minute."

"Let's just try this later," Liz stated, getting a sad look from him and one of the most depressed sneezes she'd ever heard.

Red was leaned against the headboard with a book in his lap while Liz laid next to him. She fiddled with a loose string on the blanket as he read. Then, she let her fingers drift a little farther over to his leg. His gaze shifted down to her hand, her touch somewhere between ticklish and tempting.

"You wanna try again?"she asked. Despite Red's love of books, the one in his lap went sailing across the room. Liz's first thought was that he was gonna be pissed when he couldn't figure out his page number. Of course, that thought was squashed when his lips slammed into hers with almost bruising force.

She wound her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He made a noise that was between a hum and a growl. His hands found her waist as he kissed her deeper. Moving to kiss her neck, he pulled back for a moment. Unfortunately, them shifting around made dust rise. Instead of him sneezing again, Liz did.

"Gah! LIZZIE!" Red yelped before making a face. "My mouth was open!"

"You sneezed on me twice!" Liz snapped.

"Not in your mouth!" He said. Liz groaned and turned over away from him. Red looked down at her with a guilty expression before laying down behind her. "I'm sorry," he added and put an arm over her waist. "... We could try again," he stated. Hesitant due to her silence, he pressed his lips to her shoulder. Her fist came back and hit his crotch gently but still hard enough to be painful. Red gave a startled grunt of pain before curling in on himself.

"I'll take that as a no," he grunted.

This didn't come out as good as I hoped. The other chapters I have planned are a lot better. Also, I found out that I have about forty five minutes free time that I can use during school to type. :)

Also, for those of you who read the last one, scruffy is still with them. He just won't be mentioned as much.
