Prompt: "you're adorable"


It was quiet, with the television on mute. Kagome was curling up against the cushioned sidearm, flipping through a novel Kaldur purchased for her some time prior. On the floor next to her dangling leg sat the muttering Conner—he was glaring at his college textbook and tapped his pencil impatiently on the glossy papers. Just off of his side sat Kaldur in a recliner chair tapping away on his laptops for some research or other, for his predecessor, on his crossed legs.

Not a word was shared among them, but simple content.

She peered up from the book, thumbing in a bookmark (that Conner crudely made, after accidentally breaking her favorite plastic bookmark), and reclined with a smile. Not a day goes by feeling so blessed to have her handsome boys in her life and to be loved and treasured back. At one point in her life, and it was an especially low one, she'd think she didn't deserve such love and attentions.

Indeed Kagome felt very lucky to have Conner and Kaldur.

Pretending to keep on reading, Kagome paid close attentions to the details of her boys' faces—a habit they all shared in some form toward each other. Her smile brightened, when she caught certain ones she was most fond of. Both Conner and Kaldur were too distracted with their works that neither noticed their little girlfriend eying them and biting back urges to giggle.

But, she lost.

Muffling her laugh with a too-long sleeve, Kagome grinned when she aroused their attentions. Their faces were etched with confusion.

"What?" Conner eyed their girl. He was this close of clunking the pencil against the wall from sheer annoyance he felt at not understanding the section he was studying. This random interruption saved his pencil and depleted the frustration Conner felt.

Kaldur paused his typing, his brows shot high at Kagome's giggling.

"You're both adorable!"

At Conner's nonsensical sputtering Kaldur blinked and gave a thoughtful frown, "That is an interesting word choice for two heroes who save the world on a daily basis." Sensing a need to preserve his laptops he shut it and tucked it between his thigh and the armrest.

"Adorable is what puppies are!" Conner retorted, miffed and baffled at Kagome's behavior, "We're ruggedly handsome!" He pressed his back against the couch and tugged on her tight, keeping his pouting in check.

Cupping his mouth Kaldur muffled an amused snort at Conner's comment, and to sound his agreement.

Still giggling, Kagome shook her head, "But you are! Like," she pressed a finger into Conner's hair, earning a small sound from him, "how you'd hum some song when you are focusing on homework."

"Wait, I do that?" Conner flustered.

Kaldur pursed his lips, trying to stop a cheeky smile from growing, "You do."

On impulse Kagome wrapped her arms around Conner's shoulders and pointed excitedly at Kaldur, "And you'd stick out your tongue a bit when you work on your computer!"

At that Kaldur caged his face, his shoulders shaking, "Oh god."

"You definitely do that!" Conner didn't allow any room for the Altantean to protest.

Kagome's giggles faded, but she still kept a big grin on her face, "And Conner like to leave us a little note," She twirled her hand as if she was drawing, while perching her chin on Conner's head, "with a cute doodle and things."

His cheeks pinked, "Well, I thought it was a nice thing to do!" Conner defended. He gave in to his pout when Kagome squeezed her arms around his neck and pressed a light kiss just above his ear.

"And it is very appreciated." Kaldur glowed, "Also very cute. I agree with Kagome on that."

She threw her finger at him again, squealing, "You've dimples! I love these dimples."

Kaldur couldn't help but laughed, "Do I really?" He was a fair bit embarrassed at the compliment he got, and at the awestruck look in Conner's eyes.

"Holy…How did I not notice that before!?" Minding their girl Conner arched for a closer look, making Kaldur reddened just a touch, "Babe's right, these dimples are adorable." He had to keep his hands flat on the hardwood floor, to keep in the temptation to pinch Kaldur's cheeks—he wouldn't like that.

Flipping her legs for more comfort in her position, Kagome reached over and patted Kaldur's knee, "You don't smile that much, so it's always a treat to see them." She pulled back and laughed when Kaldur shifted and hid his smile under a hand, "So, in conclusion you guys are cute." She nodded firmly, seriously, "Handsome but also cute."

"Oh my god." Kaldur laughed, unable to keep in his mirth at Kagome's latest silliness.

Conner pulled away from her grasp and rolled over, cupping his face, "Babe, did you just?" His skin was tinted red, under her compliments.

Giggling again Kagome straightened herself off the couch and resettled against the same spot she had prior, dragging the book onto her laps. She thought nothing further of her latest silliness—her only aim was to fluster her boys, a subtle way of saying she loves them. She missed Conner and Kaldur's knowing looks at each other.

It took two blurs of bodies that she squawked, their arms pushing and pulling until she found herself being sandwiched in between Conner and Kaldur. Their limbs tangled into one other, and her face was squished by both of her boyfriends' faces, "Guys!" Kagome squeaked, her voice quaked with laughter.

"Do you really think you'd get away by calling us cute!?" Conner snorted into her hair.

Kaldur snickered, trailing a hand down on her spine, "You are cute as well, my dear girl."

"You are tiny." Conner snuggled deeper, appreciating how easily Kagome fits into his arms, "Tiny is cute."

She gave away small whining noises, her skin pinking under intimate attentions. Kaldur pecked down several kisses on her bare shoulder, having earlier agreed with Conner on Kagome's size. He then tapped on her shoulders, "You have freckles in the summer here." Kaldur then prodded on her neck, "And here." He trailed it down to her collarbone, "And here. Very cute freckles."

"Sucks you don't have them right now though." Conner hummed—it was winter now. He grinned at Kagome's pouts, "Don't look at us like that with that cute face of yours. We might do something uncute."

"Noooo," her cheeks hurt from all of that smiling she had, "I wouldn't want that at alllll…" Kagome laughed, her voice raising in octave from her embarrassment.

Kaldur gripped onto her waist, pausing his peppering of kisses, "From the sound of it, maybe we should take her to the bed, don't you think so, Conner?"

Brightening Conner pointed out, "Oh, the way she always glues herself to one of us when we're sleeping!" He snickered, "Like a sloth."

"That is cute." Kaldur agreed, tugging on Kagome's sweater, "To bed then!"

Kagome couldn't talk through her embarrassed laughing.
