Question: What did you all get for Christmas?
My Answer: I got a 3DS, Pokemon Rumble, Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, a Florence and the Machine CD, a few books, a new swivel chair, bubblewrap (fuck yes I love bubblewrap), some clothes, some new earphones, perfume, tickets for me and my friends for a Hedley concert!, some charms for my bracelet, and some earrings : )
Characters: Ruby X Sapphire, as requested.
Summary: Decorating the tree, Franticshipping style : )
Decorating
"Sapphire, stay still," scolded Ruby, pushing the rim of his hat up above his eyes. "I can't hang anything on the tree with you swaying to and fro like that."
Sapphire huffed in reply. They were attempting to decorate the Christmas tree in their secret base, which Sapphire had chopped down and lugged over herself. Ruby was currently sitting atop Sapphire's shoulders to better reach the higher branches, nonchalantly hanging ornaments while Sapphire struggled with his weight. "Just think of this like the balancing practices we did together," he prompted, examining a particularly glittery decoration. "The ones with the books perched on our heads. You excelled at that, if I remember right."
"It was stupid," she griped, perspiration beading her forehead. "This is, too. Why can't ya just use a ladder, ya sissy?"
"Because," he hummed, preoccupied, "I trust you more than a rickety old ladder, obviously."
The girl stilled, bright eyes growing wide at the praise. He went blithely on, oblivious to her reaction.
"It was funny; with all those books on your head, you almost looked like a lady. And you actually have pretty good posture, now that I think about it. All you need is a dress and some manners-"
The flush that stained her cheeks was half irritation and half infatuation. "I'm not gonna wear a dress!"
He was quiet for a moment, and then muttered, so quietly she wasn't sure if she just imagined it, "Wouldn't have it any other way, cavewoman."
The blush spread all the way down her neck. "Did ya say somethin'?"
"No, nothing." He rapped his knuckles affectionately on the top of the head. "Move around to the other side of the tree, would you?"
She rolled her eyes, but let it drop and complied.
