Prompt: Alliance
Although Rose and Christian argue and clash over pretty much everything, there is one thing that they are in complete agreement on—the need to keep Lissa as calm and stress free as possible.
Both share the same deep, lingering fear that one day something will set the young queen off and the darkness will gain the upper hand, taking Lissa away from them forever. So from time to time, when their worries get the best of them, they call a truce, putting their heads together in an attempt to figure out ways to alleviate the ever growing pressure that the young Moroi has faced since ascending the throne. Usually their planning sessions end up with them bribing—well, more like threatening„ because let's face it, neither one is exactly diplomatic—the Queen's secretary, demanding the poor woman rework Lissa's overbooked schedule to keep it as light as possible on the days when she seems on edge.
The funny thing is, despite the fact that at their beginning of their alliance they both make promises to stop their constant squabbling—and they both really do try not to fight in Lissa's presence—eventually, one of them slips up. A smart assed remark is made that the other just can't resist answering, and just like that, the gloves come off, and the fighting begins all over again—at least, until the next time that their love for Lissa brings them back together.
