Words echoed off the walls of the small cave where weak waves of the ocean muffled their voices, lazy and repetitive. A snort could be heard if one eavesdropped, followed by words that could only be spoken to someone within the range of bumping noses.
"You look ridiculous."
"I don't really have options, do I?"
The reply came from the stout man with that familiar smirk spread across his sleepy face. That same look appeared often enough on his features to settle comfortably. Ruffnut grinned and took her helmet back; thin, tapered horns looked too elegant for him yet he would argue that she could pull off the stronger horns just fine. She had to agree, she could pull off anything. Her own attire and his.
"You could stay naked?" she suggested as she eyed the cloth pile, now at a far corner of the deserted cave. He was the one who insisted on wearing something close by to avoid sharp pebbles against his back. It didn't have to be her cape per se, but she wasn't going to object. Attempting to wear her vest had been interesting though and now he was stuck in the vest, one arm barely through the hole and the rest hanging from his shoulder like a terribly limp wing.
Snotlout cracked open one eye and pulled the woman closer to wrap her up in whatever there was left of the fur he was lying on. "I am naked." "You are not naked." "Well, I am not dressed." "True." A fit of cackle followed another snort, this time accompanied by Snotlout's snicker. He continued. "And this, we couldn't really do back at home. Not unless I build another floor and keep a padlock on its door." "That's too much effort to avoid children," mumbled the woman, fitting herself between her husband's broad chest and his arm. Snotlout tugged at the garment that loosely covered her body; despite his sluggish voice, his fingers moved around her back and hips vigorously.
"Maybe… Now help my arm out of this bear trap, we only have until sundown and I need my hands." Ruffnut fought back a grin and pulled the leather vest off of his bicep. "Better hurry then."
Guess who got caugth up with anime and postponed writing? Shameful, yes. Flufflout though. I want to write more marriage stuff. Babies and everything.
A/N: Hello reader! If you're still there, that is. I've been forgetting/postponing to update the challenge here on even though new chapters were posted on my Tumblr account. Apologies, if you care. I am behind the schedule, terribly so, but I have 12 more chapters to go and I will finish this baby. So far I've combined days 13&14 (meeting the parents & modern au) and skipped day 16 (strangled au) but other than that, going strong. Coming up with ideas is not the tricky part, coming up with something that I haven't read and loved already is. So many great writers on Tumblr and on this website have written great scenes for my favourites and it's hard to present something different, but I try.
Next chapter is "fighting" and guess who's ready for her daily dose of angst?
As always, do leave reviews if you read, thank you!
