So, like last year, some people at HTR have decided to do a drabble challenge in honor of AWE. And, being my lazy self, I decided that if I'm ever going to write an actual chaptered fic, I need some practice with writing, deadlines, and not being lazy. So I have challenged myself to one drabble a day. Shouldn't be too hard, right? I'm doing them out of order, and I'm not sure if I'll stick to the modern list or switch between the two lists. We'll see. Anyways, here is number one. Have fun. (Oh and by the way... these actually will be drabbles, not thousand word ramblings like my first attempt at drabbles was. Under 500 words if I can help it. Wow, has it really been a year since I posted those? Anyways, moving on...)

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

"Aw Will, you're so sweet," Elizabeth kissed her husband on the cheek as he handed her a small red box. "Might I ask what the occasion is?" Her brown eyes glimmered as she shot him a mischievous look. His brown hair flopping all over the place, Will shrugged.

"Do I really need a reason to give my beautiful wife a small gift?" He asked, smiling innocently. "Go on. Open it." She grinned and pushed the blue bow off, discarding it hastily to the ground, and carefully pulled the top off. The wonderful and sweet smell of chocolate wafted into her nose.

"Mmm, these smell good. What are they?" Will chuckled good-naturedly and wrapped his arms around her waist, standing behind her.

"Chocolate covered strawberries, love," he said into her ear. Bringing his face down to her neck, he placed a kiss on her shoulder. She sighed happily and twisted in his arms to face him.

"Well that was awfully sweet of you. But you know I'm not too fond of strawberries," Elizabeth said.

"Not even with chocolate?"

"No. Not even with chocolate." Will silently pleaded with her. Rolling her eyes, she relented. "Fine. I'll try one." The cute, wide grin that spread over her husband's face encouraged her even more to take one of the oddly shaped fruits out of the box. Giving Will an apprehensive look, she brought it up to her mouth and slowly took a small bite. The chocolate taste mixed with the almost sour taste of the strawberry wasn't half bad. Opening his mouth, Will motioned that he wanted a bite. With a giggle, Elizabeth held up the strawberry for her husband and he took a bite, almost taking a finger with the fruit.

"Hey!" Elizabeth laughed and pulled her hand away. Placing the box on a nearby table, she pulled herself closer to Will. "You've got chocolate on your face. Here, let me get it," Elizabeth leaned in to kiss away the small bit of chocolate on the corner of Will's freshly-shaven face. He smiled and ran his hands through her soft, brown hair.

"So," he started after she pulled away, "How was it?" Elizabeth's eyes twinkled as she put on a sly grin.

"I think I like chocolate covered Will better."
