*Chapter 77*

Ralph let a bashful smile spread across his beet red face as he let his hands slide to her round rear. He nuzzled her shoulder and shut his eyes tight as her gentle hands found what she was looking for. Ralph choked a nervous breath on her shoulder as his hands slid up her back, he hugged her close to him and clung onto her for dear life as she nudged him to the correct spot. She slowly slid her arms around his head as she gently began to sit down on him; he sunk his teeth into her shoulder as their eager code met yet again. He squeezed her down onto him, his shaking arms and shoulders finally un-tensed after what felt like centuries of Vanellope's teasing body finally letting him find her core. She groaned his name in a knowing way with a small, inaudible chuckle as she fluttered her eyes closed in a dizzy manner. He let a bashful smile spread across his face as he exhaled a sigh of relief and let his head lull back against his headboard with a thud. Vanellope beamed and slid her hands down Ralph's strong chest, she tilted her head and began to trail hot, teasing kisses along his exposed neck.

"What did I ever do to deserve you," Ralph said through a groan and yet another sigh of pleasure and relief, Vanellope giggled and continued to kiss his neck lovingly.

"Don't ask that, I could list the points for hours," Vanellope mumbled against his neck with a small laugh; he struggled to chuckle as his hands kept firmly planted on her lower back. She could feel his fingers and palms itch in a pleading way on her skin, as if the code in his hands was secretly asking her to get on with the ride.

Vanellope felt her breath catch as she gazed down at the situation she had placed herself in. She let her hands push to Ralph's chest as she sat up a little. She felt a sense of strength sweep over her as she gazed down at the beast below her; he was the epitome of power, his soul purpose being sheer force in this world, yet she found sweet irony in his tender, pleading eyes. His whole body remained slumped and almost defeated underneath her as he sat slumped against his headboard. He gazed up at her sweetly, his large and powerful chest heaved slowly, though the very faint glowing purple veins of his circuitry, that spidered his neck, left to suggest that he was secretly bursting at the seams. His eyes held so many inquiries, so many wants, so many questions and curiosities. He looked so powerful, a formidable force to be reckoned with, yet under her hand, he was a patient, molten pile of the sweetest chocolate. Her train of thoughts were suddenly halted by the wrecker under her. He just barely lifted his hips up into her; he budged her core firmly, causing jolts of their code to shoot up her stomach and surge at her heart. The circuitry that crawled her skin glowed in a confused manner, as if the information shooting through her was suddenly too much to handle. She gasped and choked a surprise breath before playfully glaring down at Ralph, whose smile rapidly grew sheepish and impatient.

Vanellope shoved her hands to Ralph's chest and very slowly began to lift and sink into him. She felt her heart practically jump out of her chest at the sight of such a strong wrecker practically squirm and melt into mush underneath her. She gasped and fluttered her eyes shut as the new position brought surprising, different sensations to herself. His eager hands slid up and down her bare back in an encouraging way. He lulled his head back and forth slowly into the headboard and furrowed his eyebrows; he shut his eyes tight and grimaced as Vanellope shoved into him harder and harder. He groaned her name in a pleading way as his desperate hands firmly held her wide hips. She groaned a small sound in return, as if to acknowledge his plea. She hung her head over his just barely, her silky hair gently fell to rest on his upper shoulders. Ralph finally pried his eyes open to gaze up at the beauty before him. She gently shoved her forehead to his and smiled down at him, her eyes gently closed as she continued to move at a steady pace. Ralph exhaled a nervous breath and gazed up at her in nervous adoration, as if she was sweetly plotting his game over.

Ralph gently squirmed his legs and lower body a little, as if to beg for more. He squinted his eyes and gave her a pleading look as his hands gripped her hips harder. He carefully helped her move, though he was shocked at how weak and vulnerable he suddenly felt. As if she had put his whole entire existence on pause, and the only thing he could do was move his eyes. He lulled his eyes closed and mustered whatever strength he could find in the code swap he was quickly being swallowed by; he quickly moved up into her a few times, he obediently followed her rhythm. She exhaled a powerful breath and firmly shoved down on Ralph's shoulders, which caused his headboard to creak under his weight. She firmly grabbed the tie around his neck and yanked up on it, as if to tell him to behave. She kept her other hand firmly pressed to the center of his chest to keep him down. The nervously sprawling and faintly glowing data under her hand spidered in delightful confusion. She began to move harder and faster, their bodies became alive with code and tension. Ralph groaned a raspy plea and lulled his head back, as if he was losing all control of himself. His large hands helped Vanellope move for a few moments before they gently slipped from her body and rested helplessly on the bed beside her lower legs. His fingers gently curled around her lower legs; he nervously held onto her, as if she was the only thing keeping him to the planet.

Vanellope smirked a satisfied smile as she tried her hardest to tease him as much as possible. She slowed her movement a little, but kept the force on him, like a sweetly returned favor. She kept the tie around his neck tight with no slack as her firm hand kept him pinned to the headboard by the center of his chest. She felt his hands clench on her lower legs every single time she slid down on him, she made him nudge her core harder and harder with each thrust. She gently pressed both of her fists to his broad chest, she kept the tie firm with no slack as she planted a few kisses on his cheek. He furrowed his eyebrows and groaned her name pleadingly, yet again, as she continued to buck into him. She smiled a teasing smile on his hot skin and shut her eyes. She inhaled a breath to ready herself before she let her code glitch suddenly, and barely. She quickly, but barely, pulled her head away as Ralph suddenly arched his back up into her. He loudly barked a shaky groan of pleasure as she sent volts of their luscious, sweet code up his spine. She gasped an inhale and felt her whole entire face get hot as he drove himself as far up into her as he could. He suddenly slumped back down to how he was sitting, against the headboard. He gave her a desperate glance as he looked positively stunned with emotion. She couldn't decipher if he was begging her to quit it, or continue. She inhaled another breath to ready herself either way.

She shut her eyes tight and let herself firmly glitch as their welded bodies met for the thousandth time. Ralph grimaced and groaned aloud again, his whole body tensed as he was being sweetly electrocuted, her code flood his whole system. He arched his whole body into her as he grew tense and stiff with volts of code; Vanellope gently leaned down to place a few hot, wet kisses on the center of his chest. Bouts of glowing circuitry eagerly crawled to meet her lips, delightful hums of quiet electricity relished in the feeling of her mouth on his hot skin. After a few seconds, he suddenly slumped and lulled his head to the side a few times, his large, trembling hands tried their very hardest to weakly grip the bed on either side of him. He groaned her name nervously as a small smile just barely graced his flushed cheeks. Vanellope beamed and kept her hands firmly pushed to Ralph's heaving chest. His veins came alive more so with their code; she knew he was close to finally exhausting all of his energy, his inner code practically shook with want underneath her. He groaned her name again, this time even more pleadingly, his voice was deeply coated with need. He shut his eyes tight and felt the room spin with the dizzy spell she had him under. She giggled just barely as she pecked his lips lovingly a few times. She continued to quickly move on him, she sent small chills of her own glitching code through his body, she wanted to see him squirm and beg for more.

Ralph uttered her name slowly and lulled his head to the side. He opened his eyes and met with hers for a moment before he finally let his eyes wander her beautiful, curvy body. He felt his face practically flush with a million different emotions as his eager hands finally found strength again. He gently slid his large hands into the dip of her waist and held onto her for dear life. He squinted his eyes as he could feel his inner code come alive, her code mixed with his gracefully, as if it was their own, well-kept secret. She lovingly moaned her love for him as her hands eased up a bit on his chest, and the tie around his neck. Her trembling hands held the sides of his head as she placed a few longing kisses between the nook of his nose and cheek. She whispered his name in an encouraging way as she continued to move, her strong thighs hugged his body tight as the two were alive with purpose. She slid her hands down Ralph's powerful chest and grimaced as she could feel every single nerve ending in his body practically swim. She flinched as his hands tightened around her hips and waist, his body began to tense and squirm.

She laid into him harder and shoved him deeper into her sweating body as his nervous hands began to firmly, and almost clumsily, help her move. He furrowed his eyebrows and shut his eyes tight in a grimace as his code began to practically bubble and boil in an angry, searing mess of want and need. Before Vanellope could brace herself for the code swap, he groaned aloud and arched his whole body up into her. He grunted a loud, almost painful noise full of desperation and need as his powerful hands kept her glued down into his hips. He threw his head back and grit his teeth as his searing, desperate code flooded her system. Vanellope shoved into Ralph's arms and buried her forehead into his shoulder. She slid her hands teasingly down his chest as his whole set of binary bounced and jolted around in joyful confusion. The lively circuitry on his chest chased after her fingertips, as if his entire being was desperate for every single last inch of her sweet skin. After a few numbing moments of skull searing code swap, Ralph finally exhaled a loud, exhausted, raspy sigh and slumped into the bed and headboard once and for all. Vanellope slumped into his body and coughed a small noise of surprise as his hot, angry code melted every last pixel of her cool, inner code. She shivered and smiled a wide, satisfied smile as her hands tenderly stroked his strong chest, his code continued to trail after her teasing fingers like hungry snakes. Vanellope exhaled a small, knowing giggle and tenderly stroked her loving hands up and down his chest as they remained welded to each other. Ralph panted furiously as his powerful body lay limp at her mercy underneath her. She smiled and panted on his lower cheek as her arms and hands lovingly eased him. She very gently stroked the side of his sweaty head and messy hair as the two finally settled and remained motionless, though Ralph's legs tensed and squirmed just barely from the aftershock of it all. Vanellope trailed firm, warm and loving kisses across his jaw and cheek as her hands squeezed his shoulders. She smiled as her kisses led to his mouth; she placed one loving peck on his lips, her hot breath on his face made him nuzzle into her more so. He shakily draped his arms around his mate and clung to her for dear life. He exhaled a small, deep noise as he shoved his whole face into her soft shoulder. Vanellope breathed a final, reviving breath and held the back of his head firmly in both of her hands to support his weakened body. She grinned and kissed the top of his head a few times.

"It's nice being the helpless one for once, eh?" Vanellope teased softly, Ralph breathed an exhausted chuckle and hugged her tighter.

"I-I wasn't, totally helpless," Ralph fibbed through gentle heaves of breaths, "I-I…was just enjoying myself."

"Right, right," Vanellope giggled as she gently laid Ralph back against the headboard again. He heaved a final, calming breath as his eyes gazed up at her in a daze, his smile was bashful, teasing and he looked absolutely dizzy with love. Vanellope stayed close, her hands gently continued to stroke his head and hair. She glanced down at his neck and shoulders and noticed the spidered, glowing circuits of their purple code slowly began to relax.

"Will you marry me?" Ralph asked again with a sincere, yet almost playful smile, causing Vanellope to burst out in a quiet fit of giggling.

"Yes," Vanellope breathed with a wide smile as she pushed her lips to his for a few brief moments. She pulled away gently and held Ralph's jaws in her shaking hands, "It's nice being in control. Now I know why you want to practically wreck things while you're in charge of our code swaps."

"If I had my way, you'd probably lose feeling in your legs," Ralph said with a sheepish smile.

"Exactly why I stopped you," Vanellope chuckled as she pecked his lips, yet again, "I would like to keep the feeling in my legs."

"I don't want to hurt you," Ralph said, his demeanor becoming serious, "But sometimes I wish I didn't have to worry."

"Maybe the next time we have a week off," Vanellope said through a long, uncertain sigh, "We'll do it in my game just in case I game over…"

"Well, that's only if you're sure," Ralph said gently up to her, his eyes were full of concern and caution.

"I guess we'll see when the time comes," Vanellope smiled down at him for a few tender moments.

Vanellope gently slid her hand to Ralph's cheek and smiled into his eyes lovingly. Her eyes gently caught with the gorgeous, crossed stripe ring on her ring finger; she felt her breath catch, as if it was still brand new news to her. She beamed a wide, happy smile and lifted her hand in front of her to get a good look at the ring. Ralph heaved a satisfied sigh and continued to gaze up at her in adoration, he watched her ogle the ring he had crafted for her. Vanellope just barely, and slowly, shook her head in disbelief before she lowered her hand and gazed deep into Ralph's warm, tender eyes.

"Ralph, how did you do it?" Vanellope asked above a whisper, she knew his secret was safe as they remained deeply burrowed in his room and bed.

"Well," Ralph started before he lulled his head to the side; he planted his hands on Vanellope's wide hips, which continued to keep the two glued and connected in an eternal code swap position, "I stumbled upon it."

"Lucky break," Vanellope scoffed with a happy smile as the two got comfortable. Her face gradually turned beet red at the fact that they were casually conversing while still latched onto each other as one soul.

"You're telling me," Ralph breathed, "I captured the branch by basically re-planting it back into the ground."

"So THAT'S how you do it," Vanellope giggled as she stroked some of Ralph's messy hair out from his forehead. He smiled up at her.

"The tree is still in the forests," Ralph said up to her lovingly, "I'm thinking we should plant it on the castle grounds."

"Good idea," Vanellope sighed as she gently nudged Ralph's shoulder, "I'll make your ring out of it, too."

"I'm sure you'll do a much better job than me," Ralph breathed with a sheepish smile as Vanellope furrowed her eyebrows in disbelief and took a good look at the gorgeous, glossy ring around her finger.

"Oh, come on, don't beat yourself up Ralph," Vanellope chuckled, "You did a beautiful job. I couldn't ask for anything better. The fact that you made it entirely yourself makes it so special."

"My hands are clumsy, and I didn't think I could do it," Ralph breathed as he looked away, "But you're worth it."

"…You're my hero," Vanellope said gently, and seriously, down to him. Ralph caught eyes with her before he let a knowing, nostalgic smile spread across his face. She tenderly placed a hand over his heart as he quickly lifted his hand to meet hers there. He covered her hand with his large one and gripped his fingers around it, almost in a needing way. He exhaled a thorough, calm breath and gazed up into her eyes, as if he could hardly believe this all wasn't a dream.

"You're my queen," Ralph breathed softly up to her, causing her cheeks to flush a bashful red. She smiled and rubbed his chest under his large hand.

"King Ralph," Vanellope uttered, her heart jolted at the sound. He chuckled and shook his head in disbelief.

"When that Hero's Duty escape pod shuttle rocketed me across Sugar Rush's landscape, I had absolutely no clue I was looking down at my own future kingdom," Ralph laughed happily, causing Vanellope to join in on his contagious laughter.

"Sugar is addicting," Vanellope said teasingly with a wide, bashful smile as Ralph playfully rolled his eyes.

"Do you think I'll make a good King?" Ralph asked with a smile, though his tone was sincere and curious. Vanellope smiled down at him before she averted her inquisitive gaze to the ring on her finger.

"If I didn't think so, I wouldn't have said yes," Vanellope said softly, with a smile, down to him. Her eyes remained glued to her gorgeous new ring.

"So, first order of business," Ralph said before he paused their conversation for a few moments.

He gently wrapped his large hands around Vanellope's waist and just barely began to pull her up and off of him. Vanellope inhaled a sharp gasp and shoved her arms and hands to Ralph's shoulders. Ralph grit his teeth as he finally slid out of her, Vanellope exhaled a sigh of relief before suddenly slumping against his whole body, practically face first. Ralph jolted before he beamed a wide smile and began to laugh, his loving hands held her back and the back of her head.

"It's not easy being in the driver's seat, huh," Ralph laughed as he firmly and lovingly rubbed her back.

Vanellope groaned a loud noise of protest as Ralph began to worm the two under his large, comfortable covers of his bed. He gently slid the both of them so they were laying down on their sides, though he kept his arms glued around his future queen. They finally settled with both of their heads on Ralph's large, fluffy red pillows. She beamed a satisfied, yet exhausted smile and nuzzled his nose as Ralph pulled his comfortable blankets up to their shoulders. Ralph kept his large arms firmly around her bare body as her arms wrapped around Ralph's upper chest to the best of her ability. She pecked his lips a few times before nuzzling his nose yet again. They got comfortable in each other's bare body heat, their warm, bare legs eagerly intertwined with lingering want.

"You were saying?" Vanellope said softly up to Ralph, their eyes met. Vanellope gently pulled her head away a little so they could converse.

"First order of business," Ralph repeated before he inhaled a nervous breath, "Setting a date."

"Hmm," Vanellope pondered as she looked down, her eyes glued to Ralph's lower shoulder, "It probably would be best to have our wedding during the next break the arcade has."

"So, Spring Break?" Ralph asked softly.

"That sounds good," Vanellope smiled, her heart jolted at the fact that they were actually having this conversation, "There's the wedding, the reception, the coronation, the honeymoon…I think Spring Break will be long enough for all those events."

"It will," Ralph breathed with a small smile as he gently stroked some of her beautiful hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear, "I still can't believe this is happening to me."

"Why not?" Vanellope said with a gentle giggle as she squeezed her arms around Ralph's center.

"I've got thirty years of being neglected over the two or three years I've been accepted by Sugar Rush's smarties," Ralph laughed with a contagious smile, "It's been a long time, but it's still going to take some getting used to…Just the fact that my best friend somehow could fall in love with me, the clumsy wrecker that I am… And here we are, discussing our wedding day amidst code swapping."

"And what comes after," Vanellope said plainly, but Ralph furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Vanellope felt her face get hot before she inhaled a nervous breath, she wondered if she had suddenly trekked into an awkward topic, but she continued anyways, "Y-y'know, making a family?"

"Oh," Ralph sighed with a happy smile as he nuzzled his nose to hers, his face turned red. Vanellope heaved a sigh of relief and felt her heart jolt, "You, really want to have a family with me?"

"Well, Tammy insists, so I guess we HAVE to, you know, if Tammy says so," Vanellope teased with a wide smile. Ralph laughed and squeezed her tighter in his arms; she squeezed him in return.

"You'd make a wonderful mother," Ralph said quietly and honestly down to her, she blushed.

"I can only hope," Vanellope sighed as she looked down at Ralph's bare chest, she eased into his strong arms, "I know our children will love to cuddle up to THIS teddy bear."

"I'll keep them safe and warm… Just like you," Ralph said softly as he closed his eyes and nuzzled his face gently into Vanellope's.

She beamed a sleepy smile and cuddled into his insatiably warm body and face, she felt her heart swell with all the feelings she had been drowned with today. She wondered how much fortune could smile on her. She knew their month of separation was a testing ground to their strength. She nuzzled firmly into his warm arms and heaved a long, satisfied sigh. She shut her eyes gently as she could feel Ralph nuzzle her forehead, his methodic, deep breathing lulled her gently. She gently kissed his lips a few times before she sunk her face into the nook of Ralph's neck. He smiled and tucked his chin to the top of her head as he closed his eyes, his large hand soothingly rubbed the middle of her back slowly, he savored the feel of her smooth skin.

"I can't wait to start this new life with you," Ralph broke the silence quietly as he continued to rub her back, he could feel her un-tense in his arms and go limp, "It'll be interesting to see how this all unfolds."

"Just as long as we're all together," Vanellope whispered sleepily as she remained motionless.

"I won't let anything happen to my family," Ralph said with a smile as the two settled into their spots for the night. He inhaled a soft breath before finishing the night with a whisper. "I promise."
