Work Text:
It's been a long day for both of us, I along with the cartography couple have been caring for the bugs my love and the pale siblings have been bringing up.
For now we only get a few hours with eachother. Quirrel's abilities and knowledge of Hallownest means he's more able to search for the post-infection survivors.
And I'm well enough as a nurse that Iselda can-
The door creaks open in my reminscing. I let out a dramatically loud sigh. "A shame we don't get much more than this, love."
I hear his chuckle off to my side. "Darling, you can't pull on my heart-strings like that." He walks over and plops onto our bed.
"Come on, Don't you want to make the most of our time?" I turn around-
And maybe I should've done that earlier. His unmasked face is beautiful in the dim light. A warmth creeps onto my face.
Ah- ah right 'make the most' then.
I quickly wrap my arms around his waist and try to pull him close.
He has a counter to this. Always, like the sneaky archivist he is and brings both of us into bed.
…Atleast pillows are certainly comfortable-
"Hahaha!"
…
He- He has the audacity to laugh?! I-I- He- He cannot go- That cannot go unpunished!
I get up on my claws, getting one on his chest and bring my head over his neck. And now, I'm set to finally perform what I wanted before his underclawed trick.
Pelting him with affection, after all didn't he say he 'wanted to make the most of our time?'"
He didn't specify how it had to be done. I prefer it to be 'pelting kisses into his neck'.
So, I do. One after another after-
!!!
That little!-
I'm on my back now-
wait- NO- NO- "No no!"
mwah
Noo! I'm-
mmh…
…Why is he staying on for so long-
Oh-! Ow! Ofcourse this little trickster I fell in love with gives me a hickey.
I swipe my claws at him..
And he gets off! I smirk- which I should not have DONE!
His lips meet mine and his tongue slips in. I try to push it back with mine-
"accgk"
..hhee just uses it to chhoke mee.
…
!
"gck" wwait- no- HE'S GONNA SUFFOCATE ME!-
gasp
gasp
t-thank the radia- no no.
"s-sorry."
"...HAHAHA!!" Wh- what- huh? What? Has he lost it-
"wh-Why Quirrel?" I ask him barely above a whisper.
"Haha, finally. You can sometimes be so oblivious."
Huh? Uhh.."W-what?" Oh I might- Yeah I did start- I- I'm blushing now.
He sits up and a chuckle interrupt my thoughts. "You only had to say sorry~" I… That- that is.. right…
I don't feel like my brain isn't functioning well.
He already had that smirk right? "I sometimes forget you were the second to Markoth with how cute you are."
I can only stare at him and flush further yellow. Why do I have the one to be in love with him?
And right as that thought crosses my mind he tips his head back and yawns. Hah, that's why.
We both giggle before we realize what it meant. "Dammit." We both say at the same time.
I put my claw on my head and groan. "Whhyyyyy?" The late teacher's assistant is much more level-minded. His claw brushes through my fluff.
"Darling, don't be so sad. We can.. Heh, you know?" He puts an arm under one of mine and sinks into our bed.
Oh. "Oh." I hear him giggle, I pull him in. And now- yawn -now I'm sleepyy—we bring eachother closer. He puts one final kiss on my cheek.
I pull the sheets over us. It seems the long day is finally taking it's toll on me. Or maybe because I'm cuddling with the one who took my heart.
Haah, it's so perfectly warm… mmm…
