Conversations Involving a Broom

"Come on Sophie, just give me the broom."
"No! I don't care that you don't mind living in this sort of filth, but I won't stand for it. As long as I live is this house I want to keep it as clean as possible!"
"You know you shouldn't be straining yourself like this. It isn't good for you. Either of you."
"And the vain, cowardly, heartless Wizard Pendragon thinks of someone other than himself; It's a miracle!"
"Actually I was about to say that when you strain yourself all day I'm the one kept up all night by a certain someone complaining that they're sore all over from cleaning all day!"
"Yes, because I went and got myself pregnant. You were the one who wanted to have children, Howl, not me."
"Sophie, you don't mean that."
"Don't I? You're not the one with a 6 pound boulder attached to their abdomen, kicking you black and blue from the inside out."
"You said you were happy about this. We agreed it was the right time to start a family, with the war almost over and everything."
"I am! I just... I'm just tired is all."
"It's settled then. No more cleaning for you."
"Howl!"
"You said it yourself! Being tired means you need to rest."
"But the kitchen..."
"...will be taken care of. Go lie down, you deserve it."
"But it's a complete mess out there, I'm never going to get to sleep if..."
* * *
"There. Feel better?"
"Yes. But I'm only letting you get away with it this one time. Your not aloud to use your irresistible Howl charm on me in such a fragile condition."
"Alright then. I'm not aloud to kiss my wife until our child is born. I should make a note of that, I just might forget."
"Now that we've got that all sorted out, I'm going to take a nap."
"Excellent plan, cariad. Wish I'd thought of it myself."
"Good luck with the cleaning, and there's no way your slithering out of this one. When I wake up I expect this place to be immaculate."
"As you wish, my dear. Have a pleasant sleep."
"Thank you. And Howl?"
"Yes?"
"Don't blow anything up while I'm gone. Or, cover anything with slime."
"Wouldn't dream of it."
FIN
A/N: I have always been hopelessly bad at writing fluff as my action is pure crapoly. I then decided to try the style of a story made entirely of dialogue. My first attempt at this was in my first fluffy fic to be posted, Conversations at Midnight (a Harry Potter). After this was a success, I knew I had to try it with something else. This is the result. Enjoy.
