Anyone. A bug in the shower. (eurydice72)
Thump - Arthur/Gwen - PG
Arthur hears the scream from the shower. He knows Guinevere doesn't scream without reason. He cocks his head, hears nothing else, and returns his attention to ESPN.
The shower turns off and he looks up. Gwen is standing at the entrance to the living room in her robe, damp hair curling around her shoulders.
She does not look happy.
"Why did you scream?"
Wrong question.
"I sat down on the tub floor to shave my legs and a spider crawled around my thigh!"
"Oh."
Wrong answer.
"You didn't think to maybe check on me? You know I don't scream."
"Well, I didn't hear a thump after the scream, so I figured you were okay."
"Oh, my God, seriously?"
A minute later he hears her on the phone. "Do you know what your brother just did?"
"Hey! Don't tell Morgana!" Arthur yells, leaping up from his recliner and into the bedroom. Shit.
A/N: This is a 100% true story, only Gwen is me, Arthur is my dashing husband, and Morgana is our friend Lisa. I am not squeamish about bugs, but when one appears on your THIGH in the SHOWER, well…
