Prompts: Water Can- Blessing

-:-

"Ouch, Sirius!" she yelps, smacking your hand.

"What?" you say. You pull the metal can behind your back and smile innocently at her.

"You just- you," she sputters.

You wink at her. "Delusional, Marlene? It's okay, darling. We can get you help-"

She glares, but she giggles despite herself.

"Yes, it's a curse," you say, "I know, I'm so attractive, and I'm funny. It just causes so many problems…"

Leaning forward, Marlene kisses you.

You drop the watering can.

When she pulls away, you are speechless.

"Wow," you say at last. "maybe it's a blessing after all."

And Marlene smiles.
