This is going to be a series of one shots. They won't necessarily be directly connected, just moments in time. So sit back relax and enjoy!

"Haley, you know that's not fair."
"I don't care what's fair Nathan Scott, he doesn't deserve your time."
"Yeah? Well that's not for you to decided, now is it."
"You self-righteous pig! We're a team remember that? No 'I' in team and all." She flipped her hair back across her shoulders.
"Oh oh, pulling out the self-righteous card are we?"
"That's the wrong concord, it's are you, not we."
"You know, ever since I married you, you have been so domineering and bossy. Grow up Hales, partnership works both ways."
"I thought you like the girl on top."
"I do if she's not wearing ponchos."
"Ponchos are sexy."
"Ponchos are sexy- yeah that's like saying your sexy isn't it?" he barbed her, expected a 'isn't that obvious,' back
"Are you saying I'm fat?"
Nathan's eyes widened momentarily, "No, no, baby, you're beautiful."
"No I'm fat…" her eyes clouded with tears and it looked like her whole body started to deflate as she slumped into herself at the kitchen counter.
Nathan's eyebrows furrowed momentarily before recognition lighted his features. It was that day. One day a month, the day right before she got her…you know, she'd become extremely sensitive and whimper.
Normally she'd pull out the you-think-I'm-fat trick to guilt him into something, but just than she actually meant it. Woman are so confusing.
Sighing Nathan walked over to her, placing a hand on her back and tracing circles with his fingers.
"Darling, you are so beautiful and perfect sometimes I wonder if you're even human."
"Really?" she sniffed
He traced Yes, between her shaky shoulder blades.
"Come on, Hales don't cry."
"You're not repulsed by me?"
"How could I be repulsed by a pretty girl like you?"
She giggled through her tears.
"There's my girl," he smiled at her before gathering her into his arms, bridal style. "See look how light you are," he tossed her up a little before bringing her back to his chest.
She smiled and shaped into his arms. "What do you say, we just lie in bed today?" He smiled down at her.
"What about Dan?"
"He'll live," He carried her into the bedroom and dropped her onto the white comforter, so that the blankets billowed around her and she bounced up a little, laughing.
He tossed off his shirt and reached for her skirt, leaving her in her t-shirt and cotton panties. Together they crawled under the covers, to forget the world.
"Haley?"
"Mmm?"
"Do you love me?"
"MmmHmm."
"Does that mean you don't love me?" He grabbed his heart in mock hurt.
She cracked an eye open at the sudden movement. Rolling her eyes she snuggled into him a placed a kiss on his breastbone.
"Ah, so you do love me."
"MmmHmm."
"Haley?"
She hit a fist against his chest, "Mhut Mup," was her reply from underneath the covers.
"I love you too."
So there you go, part one- complete and total fluff. I can't say I really have a perfect feel for the characters yet, but I'm getting there. I promise the next one will have more serious tones. Or maybe the third one. Or fourth…
