PG13 PDA sugar can be good motivation

Sweet Pea tossed his pen on his notebook, giving up. To be fair, he was halfway done with his chemistry homework. However, there was something that kept pulling his attention away from it. Ruby was sitting across from him at the library table, her own notebook forgotten, phone in her hands. She kept going from typing on it furiously to giggling soundlessly at something she got. And, that kind of an interaction with her cell could mean only one thing – she was texting with Mattie.

Sweet Pea had met Ruby's best friend only once when the teen had flown in for a visit. Those days he remembered only vaguely, due to a large amount of alcohol and pot they'd all consumed. And, in his experience, Mattie was a hurricane. An unstoppable force of nature which made Ruby go a little insane, as well. Mattie somehow managed to break through the walls of proper manners and strict education that the girl in question had had at home, pulling Ruby along for a crazy ride of drinking, partying, making art when high and various other things Sweet Pea wasn't necessarily against. He was just against Ruby doing them with Mattie. But, as previously mentioned, the odd teen was a force of nature and he wouldn't be the one to try and stop that tempest on its raging way. However, he could deter Ruby from getting pulled into the crazy ideas while they were only chatting on the phone.

Glancing at his own cell, Sweet Pea ignored the group chat which included all of the younger Serpents. They were planning to meet up and head to the Wyrm. He, though, had another fish to fry. The tall biker ripped off the corner of a page from the end of his notebook, getting a few glares from students and adults at the library. He was regretting allowing Ruby to sign him up as a member of the institution, at that point, despite the fact that it was a free subscription. Quickly, Sweet Pea scrawled a message on the paper and tossed it at the girl on the opposite side of the table. It hit Ruby's phone and bounced off, ending up on her notebook.

She stopped giggling, giving him a half-hearted glare, before unfurling the ball and reading his note. She scrawled something back and passed it to him properly, along the surface of the table. Sweet Pea frowned when she instantly returned to her phone but took the note regardless. There were two messages on the paper.

I'm almost done, you? His writing was neat, in small block letters.

I'll finish when Mattie has to go to class. You can go if you don't want to wait. Ruby wrote in slightly bigger letters, a bit curvy and clearly feminine.

He didn't like that reply. Sweet Pea had taken time out of his usual busy hang out schedule with the Serpents to indulge Ruby's ideas of studying together. He certainly didn't plan on playing second fiddle to Mattie. So, he decided to bring out the big guns.

If you finish now, I'll give you some sugar for each correct answer. He crumpled the paper and tossed it at Ruby again. She gave him an annoyed look this time but still opened the note. Sweet Pea saw the hesitation. It was momentary. But, Ruby's phone had almost been placed on the desk. Good, he was winning that battle. He'd just dealt a critical hit to her chat with Mattie. The note returned to him.

What kind of sugar are we talking about here? The feminine letters asked. But, when Sweet Pea looked up, Ruby was back on her phone. He scowled.

Since we're in public, just something PG13. He stopped for a second, looking up. Ruby was giggling soundlessly again. He needed to be more persuasive. Or, we could head find some secluded spot between the rafters? He added cheekily. The note hit Ruby's phone again. She didn't hesitate this time, or glare at him, which Sweet Pea took as a definite advantage to his side. He watched the way Ruby's eyes widened before she smirked at him and then scrawled something, tossing the note at him eagerly. Yes, that was a definite win.

Let's see your PG13 reward. When Sweet Pea looked back up, Ruby had her phone down on the table, locked, and she was solving a problem in her notebook. He watched her write and calculate, before checking the result in her book and looking up at him. She gave him a thumbs up. Now, Sweet Pea was a bit lost. He needed to give her some kind of a PG13 PDA reward which could pass at the library. After a moment of deliberation, he slid his foot forward under the table. He felt his boot make contact with Ruby's knee-high Dr. Martens and he slowly slid her leg forward, so that he had better access.

Sweet Pea looked at the girl over the table. She had fixed him with her pale eyes, mouth in a small smile as she waited to see what he would do. Her foot didn't move, except when he shifted it. So, Sweet Pea took charge. His boot traced the outline of her Dr. Marten shoe, hooking behind it and slowly trailing up her calf. He saw the way Ruby's mouth opened in a small 'o' and smirked. Sweet Pea was definitely winning this one.

He caressed her leg, up and down the back of her calf a few times, before pulling up his other foot on the opposite side, locking Ruby's boot in between his feet. Then, holding it with his right boot in place, Sweet Pea pulled his left leg up, the tips of his toes trailing the inside of Ruby's calf. Her sharp intake of breath told him everything he needed to know. Sweet Pea stopped suddenly, pulling his legs back and tucking his feet under his chair again.

His dark eyes met Ruby's heated pale gaze and he smirked. She got the message and went back to her notebook, solving another problem. Sweet Pea saw her phone screen light up with multiple messages, but she didn't pay them any attention. Oh, he'd won that one alright. He'd misdirected the hurricane.

When Ruby gave him another thumbs up after checking her result, he pushed away from the desk, standing up and going to her side. Sweet Pea plopped into the seat next to hers and pulled the chair as close to her as he could without being too improper, making it screech a bit. A couple of people in the library gave him glares or shushed him, which he only sheepishly smiled against. Then, his hand reached out under the table, dropping onto Ruby's thigh.

A small gasp came from her, telling him that he obviously had her more than invested in this little reward game. The tights Ruby was wearing did nothing to hide the warmth of her soft flesh underneath. Sweet Pea's hand glided across the expanse of her thigh, drawing lazy, random patterns and squeezing here and there, careful not to go too close to her knee. If he did, she would likely jump up, because it was her ticklish spot. And, the library definitely wasn't the place for some tickle foreplay. When he was satisfied with the flush across her cheeks and quick breaths, Sweet Pea pulled his hand away, lounging back in his chair. Ruby looked up, almost pleadingly, but then rolled her eyes when he didn't move and went back to her notebook.

This time, it took her a bit longer to finish. Just as Sweet Pea was preparing to glance over at her work, she went to the book, checking her result. Then, she pulled her notebook up, showing him three problems solved correctly. So, she wanted to pile up the sugar and cash it in all at once. Sweet Pea smiled when he saw that she had passed the last problem he had solved in his chemistry notebook. But, regardless, he needed to make good on his promise.

His arm draped along the back of Ruby's chair, pulling the small girl to his side. She fit there perfectly, as always. Then, Sweet Pea leaned in, nuzzling into her hair and taking a deep breath. She smelled of her deep perfume, a scent he usually wasn't a fan of, but it fit her somehow. It was very Ruby. Not like the flowery notes other girls wore. It was deep, rich and reminded him of stolen kisses in between classes. Like smoldering gold or molten lava.

Sweet Pea's other hand reached up, pulling Ruby's long hair back to free up her neck on the side which he was closest to. Then, he pressed a kiss to the shell of her ear, hearing her sigh contently and lean further into his side. His kisses remained innocent, trailing down the side of her neck. Sweet Pea couldn't help himself and planted one slightly steamier at the spot where her shoulder started, just beside the neckline of her shirt. Then, pulling back and leaving a wet mark, he pecked her cheek and moved away entirely, only the arm around her chair remaining.

Ruby looked at him with a flushed face and a sweet smile. She leaned in this time, Sweet Pea's lips meeting hers halfway. The kiss was innocent, sweet and completely PDA appropriate. Nothing like the heated lip lock which they usually shared. Ruby pulled back and returned to her notebook. Needless to say, her homework was done quickly and she took him by the hand soon enough, fingers intertwining, and led him out of the library. Sweet Pea only got an earful from her after they'd reached the Wyrm, many soft kisses later, when he asked her for her notebook to copy the work.
