Back!
Alright, I got a request from an anonymous reviewer by the name of: Lady Vishous. She asked for a Cade and Holly drabble, and I gladly obliged!
(Oh, and just so you know, I have read all the books out there, so any couple I can do!)
Enjoy!
Strange
-XxX-
Some would call them an odd couple, even though there had to be weirder ones out there in the Lore somewhere. Cade figured that it was because of how opposite they were.
Yes, most couples had conflicting opinions, but Holly and he really clashed. Most people, when told of their marital status, would either get a blank look on their face and burst out laughing or keep the blank look and flat out deny it.
And, really, after the reception that they got, Cade had begun to evaluate the relationship, also, and found himself in unanimous agreement with everyone else; they really were strange. Such very polar opposites that Cade began to wonder what had gone wrong, before stopping himself from even trying to think those blasphemous thoughts.
He wasn't sure if Holly had the same misgivings. She had gotten most of them out of her system quite early in the relationship, what with all the attempted murders and drama and such. Occasionally, though, he could see her sending him sidelong glances that looked a little unsure, if only for a second, but his overactive imagination twisted them until they were something ugly.
Until watching Rydstrom and Sabine having a particularly loud row one night. Sabine was positively screaming she was so mad and Rydstrom, ever patient, was talking calmly but firmly which only irritated her more, resorting to things being thrown at his person. He promptly hustled Holly from the room so that she didn't get caught in the crossfire and they stood in the hallway a few doors down, waiting for them to calm down.
It didn't for a very long time.
Then suddenly it was eerily quiet aside from the soft sounds of whispering. Holly sighed softly and gently rubbed one adorably pointed ear with an expression of relief.
"I'm glad that's over." She said softly, leaning on him and closing her eyes, wrapping her hands protectively over her bulging stomach. Cade smiled down at her.
"Oh, that's just round one. They'll probably pick it up again after the make-up sex." He mumbled as he kissed the top of her head. She made an appalled noise and play-slapped him.
"Don't be silly." She protested, "This will be the last of it. There's no way that they can stay mad at each other for very long." Cade blinked and looked down at her with a curious crinkle on his brow.
"How do you know?" He asked, brushing a curl of hair out of her face. She tucked it behind her ear and shrugged.
"They love each other." She answered simply.
It was right then that Cade realized that it really didn't matter if they were strange. Sure, they were complete opposites and everything that he did contradicted what she did. He didn't care what anyone else thought.
He loved her. That's all that mattered.
So take that and shove it up your ass, normal couples.
Like it? I hope it was what you were hoping for, Lady Vishous.
Review, please!
