Yay! More crap! Well…I sort of want more ideas…now I'm used to doing like five or six in one, but when they aren't so many I feel like a beach bum. That and I start looking up random songs…and now have a sudden urge to learn how to play them all on piano. But you don't really care about that SOOOO ONWARD!

"How unlucky can I get in a day!" Carter mumbled to himself. "I lost to my old friend in poker, had to strip and am mostly broke now, we ran out of coffee, My bowstring broke and now I have to act like I'm a couple with you. Well good morning shitty day, how are you!" He said, smiling sarcastically.
"Shut up, it's two days I promise I won't eat you alive. Now shut up and start acting. Mary's coming." June snapped, kneeing Carter in the shin.
"I swear I'm killing you for this!" Carter growled under his breath.
"So, how are you enjoying you day with your boyfriend?" Mary asked, smiling.
"Wonderful?" June managed nervously.
"Can I bribe you and only have to do this for the rest of today?" Carter asked blankly.
"Nooo just deal with this! Please! June promised~!" Mary pleaded.
Carter crossed his arms, ducked his head down and chewed on his bottom lip. He grumbled something inaudible. Mary raised an eyebrow while June, having caught the last of it, smiled. Mary scratched her head, while June whispered what she guessed he said to her. She nodded.
"Okay, you don't have to kiss her." Mary said.
"Thank you Lord!" Carter shouted, fist pumping.
"What is this about?" Will asked, looking down from the castle wall as he was technically on guard duty and secretly looking for Horace and Cassandra to have lunch with.
"June made a deal with this chick that if she got her man, she could pair June up with anyone for two days." Carter replied.
"And she paired June up with you?" Will assumed.
"What an unlucky little donkey am I?" Carter supplied.
Will snickered as he withdrew from the wall's edge before straight out laughter was heard from above them. Carter growled silently, but kept from hanging Will by his own small intestine.
"Come on master, we have a 'date' to go on." June told him.
Carter's face shot from on the annoyance to one of confusion and then something in between a face of regret and one of oh-crap-I'm-dead. Just before June dragged him off to the carnival in town, in to which began their 'date'.
"Please!" June pleaded, making puppy dog eyes.
"Whatever." Carter shrugged.
June had insisted that he get her the giant stuffed bunny wabbit from the ball-toss game. Carter had already know that the bottles were glued together, or some similar trick. After all, a milk bottle isn't exactly stable once stacked.
"can I have a turn?" Carter grumbled to the stall vendor.
The vendor shrugged and handed Carter two balls. Carter raised an eyebrow but took them both and took three steps back. Then he thought for a second and told June to get on the other side of the stall. June obeyed while Carter took another step back.
Then he set one ball down and drew his arm back. The muscles on it rippled as he threw it similar to that of a spear, using his whole freakin' body. The ball whizzed by the vendor, smashed through the bottles and slammed into the wall. The boards bent back, but somehow held together, letting the ball drop to the ground.
"That's one giant rabbit." Carter muttered, looking at the prizes. He shrugged as he threw the extra ball at the second bottles, with a little more anger in it. The bottles shattered and the ball slowed as it slammed into the wooden back, but this time, it carved its way through from the intense spin carter subconsciously put on it. June caught it on the other side, surprised that carter threw it through a wall.
"And that's two bunnies." He said, getting the prizes from the vendor.
June walked around, and seeing Carter carrying two giant oversize bunnies made her squeal and tackle him. "BUNNIES!"
"Thank you for imploding my eardrum." Carter managed as his left ear went deaf.
June dropped the bunnies off in her room of the cabin they shared (while Carter tried to figure out if he went deaf in one ear or the eardrum was just gone) before returning to the carnival.
Carter won a few more games. Including a bow and arrow game, which he won a couple coins from, restoring some of his money. He then latter bought cotton candy and handed it to June, saying he didn't like sweets.
Despise you Mary. Despise you so much. Although now I do have a bit more money. Carter thought, watching June look through the stalls. Although in this light she does look kind of cute…Mental Note, complain when she wears dresses.
Yup, that's right, June was currently wearing a small yellow skirt with red and green flowers all over it. It came down to upper calf, which Carter had almost complained about. She had a black jacket and a white shirt on under that.
Carter was wearing the ranger pants, but decided to forgo the top half and just wear a black short sleeved shirt. He cursed as the cold autumn air danced on his skin. The only good thing was at least his legs weren't about to freeze like June's. He gave a smirk at that, but continued following her.
As she finished the cotton candy and threw it in the trash Carter caught a glimpse of a pinkish blush on her face. He dismissed it as he noticed her slight shiver. He walked up to her, and quietly tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hm?" She said as she looked at him.
"You're about to freeze, aren't you." Carter said, looking down the seven inches into her face.
"Maybe…"She replied, stopping a shiver.
"Yup, you should have worn something more suiting for the weather." Carter told her bluntly.
"Yet you're the one wearing a short sleeved shirt. You're shivering too!" She accused him.
"Am not." He smiled, sticking his tongue out at her.
"Are too," June said, sticking her tongue out as well.
Carter smirked as he got what he wanted. He grabbed her tongue and dragged her painfully back to the cabin. "You're not gonna get a stupid cold because you're too stuborn to put on some actual pants. At least not on this 'date' you set me up on." Carter said.
A minute later, June had gotten into a pair of black pants that were slightly too big for her. As they were Carters, but he hemmed them for her. He then handed her his belt, which she protested until Carter forced her into it. Satisfied, he took her out to see the rest of the carnival. But soon found out that they had seen all of it.
"come on, let's sit a while." He said, sitting down.
June followed him, sitting next to him. He watched his breath in the white puffs it appeared in. the air had gotten a lot colder, forcing him to don the longer sleeved shirt her had brought with him. He looked over to June, who had put on a scarf and mittens.
He had to stop himself from laughing, as she looked adorable, like the helpless girls from those romance novels June reads. He found her blue eyes looking up into his black ones. He smirked, realizing she was still cold.
He smiled before wrapping her in a hug and letting her curl up onto his lap.
Okay…maybe this isn't so bad…He concluded.
~The Next Day~
It's was surprisingly normal, carter sleeping on the roof, June practicing, Will off with his wife, and Simila training under the Princess's champion. What surprised Carter was that June had let her hair down today. Usually she kept it up in a ponytail so it wouldn't get in the way.
Carter glanced around, making sure Will or Simila wasn't around before saying, "June, your hair looks nice today."
June paused in her shot a unnoticed smile creeping on to her face. June couldn't help but giggle a little, which made Carter blush a light shade of pink before he turned away. He mumbled something under his breath.
The day continued on similar to this, each giving discrete compliments about each other, Carter's hid in an insult of some sorts, but all in all, relatively nice compliments. What had Carter on edge all day was that no matter what he was doing, his mind always drifted back to June curled up cutely in his arms.
He cast a smile, before it quickly snapped to a scowl when Will appeared. June retained her docile, sarcastic self as soon as Will was within earshot, or even sight. Carter had to give her credit, she was quiet sharp.
"I heard from Mary what June's bet was. How's it going lovebirds?" Will called from down the road.
"Wonderful, we just finished sorting out the marital court and deciding on doves carrying satin at our wedding. We're currently on the honeymoon. Where do you think were at Will!" Carter called back, his voice heavy with sarcasm.
"Just wondering, but I did here that Erak is renovating a mountain house, said he was planning to use it for a banquet among friends." Will said, smiling.
Carter snorted at this, but kept mostly quiet. June had already retired in side to cook. Will left shortly, having dinner with his wife today. Sims didn't come down today, which surprised Carter. Which left June and Carter all alone at the dinner table.
Carter silently ate his pot-roast watching the juices slowly drip onto his plate. June wasn't any more talkative, leaving him to break the silence.
"I love this good quality awkward silence! It's so health for the…liver?" Carter started.
"Lord knows you need it! I swear Simila poured at least thirty bottles of whatever they had down your gullet." June said, smiling mischievously.
"That explains the hangover…it usually takes more.." Carter mused.
"Says the insane person."
"Says the person that curled up on my lap." Carter replied with a smirk.
"I bet you enjoyed that." June said.
"I can't remember…seems I'm suffering." Carter said playfully.
June snorted at this before getting up. Carter looked at her funny until she sat on the couch and curled up into a ball. "Help stir some of those memories?" She asked.
Carter raised an eyebrow sitting down beside her. "I don't know, but I bet this would help." He said, pulling June into his lap.
June was now sitting with her head in the nock of Carter's collarbone, and her legs curled slightly towards her small frame. (I swear she is going to kill me for that later). Carter smiled, getting what he wanted.
He inhaled the scent of her hair, finding it surprisingly to be grapes. He frowned, having hated grapes as a child, he always found them odd…like a giant purple bounce ball…only edible. He shrugged it off and he leaned down, his head resting on June's.
"Wonder what would happen if Will walked in on this." Carter cast the thought into the air.
"He'd says, 'pedophile!' and try killing you with his knives." June said, smiling.
"Well then, might as well make it worth my while. Carter muttered, turning June's face up.
She blinked, confused until she felt a light presence on her lips. Then presence grew stronger, until she realized it was Carter's lips. She gasped, providing Carter the opportunity to bite her lips. He smiled, pulling away as the door kicked in.
"Carter!" Will yelled, nocking an arrow.
"See ya love!" Carter laughed, jumping up into the rafters off the couch and ducking out through a hole in the roof covered by a locked trapdoor.
Will charged after him, arrows flying out of the bow, leaving June to wonder what just happened. She paused, remembering the warmth of the kiss. She smiled, putting her hand to her lips, only for a second.
"Love…" She muttered the last words of his sentence.
Hope that this was what you wanted, it was kind of a broad topic so I just let it flow. Honestly surprised it made it this far! It's four pages! Oh well, I didn't have any other suggestions! Hope you enjoyed it Alyss!
Assassin:
"Nope, rejection!" He said, catching her wrist and twisting it again behind her back.
"You're so annoying!" June snapped.
It had been two whole days, in which she had tried to kill him in clever, blunt and totally random ways. And in that time, he had taken the liberty to take her sizes and buy her clothes that actually fit. He had almost had a heart attack when his shirt slipped down to her armpits. He may be an assassin, but he had some decency! Didn't help that she had tried flirting with him before in order for him to turn around so she could stab him with a dagger.
"You're getting better." He commented as she spun the dagger in her hands and snapped her wrist back, the tip of the blade cutting of the traces of his dirty brown hair.
"At least I got paid this week, but since I have to pay for two people's mouths, I'll have to get another job soon." He mused. "Girl, I'm going out to scout some jobs, don't kill yourself with the grappling hook."
It was true, yesterday while trying to scale the wall using the brick, the claw had slipped and was about to gore out her eye when he caught it. It had left her with only a nick across her cheek.
She scowled at this, but sat down on her bed while he ran up the wall, jumped to the only low hanging rafter on the far side of the roof and then pulled himself up nad exited through the hole in the wall, twenty feet above her head.
As soon as she was sure he was gone, she started rummaging through drawers and checking nooks and crannies for any type of weapon she could use, or any black mail information. Finding none, she kicked the wall. Then she looked above her head, and on accident, spotted a wooden case sitting on top of a rafter.
She looked around and saw the grappling hook sitting in a corner. She shrugged and figured it couldn't hurt to try. She twirled the thing to her side, like some of the knights do in the storied, before casting it up into the rafters. It took her two tries, but she finally got a lucky break and knocked over the case.
She dove to catch it. And in the process, pulled the grappling hook off the beam in landed on. It clanked noisily on the stone floor, causing her to flinch, She quickly put the hook back I place and opened the case, surprised to find it unlocked.
She found clippings of parchment and a locket. She opened it and found a beautiful women with what looked like dark brown hair. June assumed since he had it, it was the assassin's mother. She rummaged through it nad found a journal page. It read:
I've decided to name him Carter, after my brother who died in the war. I think you remember me telling you about it. I'm sure that they'll lift your sentence some! It was self-defense, I'm sure it'll –
The rest of the letter was lost as it was snatched away from June's hands. In its place stood an angry and very pissed off assassin. He grabbed her by the collar and slammed her into the wall.
Then he upholstered a sword and set her feet barely on the ground before driving the sword into the stone wall behind her, the blade pointing at her. He did this with another blade, having the blades cross and leave her stranded in between the sharpened deadly items.
"I should kill you right now you ass. It's my shit, now leave it alone. And if you EVER touch that locket again, I rip off your head and shove it up your ass and I will torture you until hell will seem like a blessing." He growled, slamming his fist into the wall my June's face.
June whimpered, shrinking away from the punch as much as she could. She was terrified, anything, everything that she had taken in her whole life, seemed easy compared to looking into his eyes.
He looked like a beast, the shadows of the evening coating his face and the dark aura radiating off of him. She knew that if he tired, she would be dead in one second flat.
The assassin sat down on the bed, holding his head in his hands. Then he stood up and pulled out a bow and arrow. Then he outlined June's body, for the next hour, until he could no longer even flinch she was so scared.
"Now, you've learned fear. So leave everything I have, alone." He growled in her face.
She shivered at the boy the women in the locket had given birth to. The one called Carter.
Okays just for the record, the assassin one will change rapidly, so expect time skips, because it makes it easier than just explaining each day, day by day by day. Suggestions! Please! I is running low!
