Chapter Text
It’s a normal Saturday afternoon and Norton and Victor are sitting on the couch, staring at a “Are You in Love?” online quiz on Norton’s laptop. It’s a short couples’ quiz that Norton had clicked on out of boredom after being unable to complete his assignment.
“Choose a pet name you’d like to be called?” Victor read out loud, squinting his eyes and moving his face closer to get a better look.
“Oh, the choices are terrible.” Norton read sleepily, “Sugarlips, Pumpkin…Schmoopie?” Victor lets out a snicker beside him.
“Schmoopie.” He repeats and laughs. He turns to look at Norton and uses both hands to cup his cheeks, smushing them together. “How’s my schmoopie woopie doing?” His voice does the thing it does when you talk to babies.
They both laugh out loud and struggle to speak for the next two minutes.
When they finally stop, they’re out of breath, and Norton’s shoulder aches from where Victor had hit him after he continued adding remarks that made him laugh harder.
“Oh, this one’s better. My Honeysuckle Fairy.” Norton reads and immediately turns to look at Victor for his reaction.
Victor had his lips pressed together tightly, but Norton could see the corners curling up into a smile. He quickly slaps his hands on his mouth and closes his eyes tightly. His shoulders start shaking from the effort of holding his laughter in. He shakes his head.
“Oh, so it turned into this game, has it? Okay, let me give you another one.” Norton peeks at the page again, “Hunka-Hunka Burnin’ Love.” He snickers after fully pronouncing the word, syllable for syllable.
Victor explodes with laughter and Norton joins in. They spend another minute falling against each other with laughter before Norton is forced to put the laptop away because he can’t physically hold onto it while dying of laughter.
Victor puts a finger up and tries to compose himself. Norton lifts his head to look at Victor’s finger and looks down at his face. They both immediately break into snickers.
Norton doesn’t realize when it happened, but the next thing he realizes is Victor is straddling him and trying to cover his mouth while still laughing. His hands automatically move to Victor’s waist.
“Stop.” He says repeatedly in between laughs. His hands shakily covered Norton’s mouth. Norton bites his bottom lip as his laughter dies down. He looks up at his boyfriend who has him caged underneath him. Victor’s shoulders are still shaking from amusement, but much lighter than before.
Norton's thumb caresses his lower back endearingly, watching his lover grow more relaxed as his laughter subsides.
Victor stares down at Norton and bites his bottom lip, a shy smile on his lips. The way the vibe shifted made him embarrassed. He hadn’t even realized he was now seated on Norton’s lap.
Norton’s hands move lower and cup Victor’s butt comfortably. He squeezes a few times, eliciting a small moan from Victor. He removes his hands from Norton’s mouth and wraps them around his neck in a tight hug. He takes a deep breath while his face is buried against Norton’s neck and loosens his hug when he exhales. Norton chuckles.
“We couldn’t even get past the first two questions of that quiz, baby.” His hands move to Victor’s thighs and squeeze them comfortingly. He hears Victor whimper against his neck before he feels a soft kiss land on his skin.
“We don’t need that quiz,” Victor says quietly before planting a deeper and wetter kiss on the same spot. Norton sighs and enjoys as Victor continues his ministrations.
That quiz did prove that they’re in love.
