Work Text:
It was a big day for the Forgers. Their first guests other than Franky, Yuri, and Nightfall. Camilla and Dominic were coming over for dinner.
“I have no clue why she wants to come over,” Yor was talking fast, “It’s as if she wants to see me be a bad wife or get some ammo to use against me at work or just..”
Yor froze as loid closed the gap between them to hold her shoulders.
“It’s okay,” he rubbed her arm in a comforting motions as he then reached for her hands, “We’ll just have a nice normal dinner party and then they’ll be on their way. Nothing to worry about, we got this.”
Twilight smiled warmly at Yor in hopes this would help her calm down. She glanced at their hands and back up at Loid in hopes that he hadn’t noticed her blush.
“You’re right, let’s get out those photos and stuff!” She said detrmined.
The time was set for 8 p.m. A bit late, but probably expected for a dinner party for adults.
“I want to play with Mama’s friends too!” Anya said while Loid was dragging her to her bedroom. Her feet scraped the ground.
“You need to wash up and go to sleep, you have to study tomorrow,” if she goes to sleep now maybe I’ll get her peanuts, Loid thought.
Anya lit up immediately and rushed over to her room, “Okay goodnight Papa goodnight Mama!”
She slammed the door. Yor giggled a little.
Ding dong!
Yor and Loid looked at each other one more time before they pulled open the door.
“Welcome!” They said in unison.
“Thanks for having us!” Dominic said cheerfully.
“Yes I’m excited to finally see where you’ve been living Yor,” Camilla looked awfully sinister.
Loid tried his best to maintain his composure, could she be a spy too trying to bring down Yor. No keep calm Twilight.
“Come on in! I’ll make us some tea!”
The 4 of them walked inside together. Yor went to the kitchen while Loid, Camilla, and Dominic stood close by.
“How is work going for you two?” Loid asked hoping to get some intel to understand them.
“Been going good, I’ve recently gotten a promotion and Camilla got a bonus,” the man wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
Ah yes PDA..a common tactic used between couples to convey their affection for one another..would it be weird if me and Yor didn’t do that.
“Please! Sit down on the couch,” Loid said. He made his way over to Yor. She was just about finished with the tea.
Suddenly she felt warm hands on her waist, causing her to let out a small eek!
“Loid?”
Loid leaned in to whisper in her ear, “Affection is common with couples, if your friends see that we are affectionate they won’t be suspicious of our marriage.”
Yor understood but it didn’t stop her blush.
She turned around with her back against the counter so she was facing Loid. Woah we’re really close right now, his hands were still on her waist and now he was trying to hide a small blush as well.
She got on her tippy toes to whisper in his ear, “Okay I understand.”
“Okay you love birds we’re waiting on our tea!” Camilla shouted from the couch. Loid jumped back a bit embarrassed. Camilla’s head rested on her hands and she was growing impatient.
“Sorry!” Yor took 2 cups and Loid took the other ones. It’s just for the mission, just for the mission…
..some time later..
“Yor is always so clumsy at work. Just the other day, she spilled typewriter ink all over brand new papers,” Camilla laughed her snotty laugh.
Loid looked over at Yor who was sitting next to him, her lips quivered and her eyes were growing glossy. He put a hand on hers.
“Well if everyone was perfect all the time we would just be machines. I find it so grounding that part of what makes us humans is the fact we make mistakes and learn from them,” Loid rubbed Yors hand with his thumb. Wow Loid is so understanding, and he’s really going all out on this PDA thing. Maybe I should initiate something.
“So how’s the married life been anyway, are you guys looking to have another child?” Dominic asked sincerely looking between the two.
“Oh!” Both Yor and Loid were now blushing profusely.
“Um well with Anya we’ve already got our hands full,” Yor said quickly.
“…but it isn’t out of the question,” Loid added as calmly as he can. Yor looked at him agape. It’s just for the cover it’s just for the cover it’s just for the cover.
“Anyway what about you two, when are you tying the knot anyways?” Loid quickly changed the topic hoping Yor would let go of her piercing gaze.
Camilla glanced at Dominic this time for an answer.
“I’m so in love with Camilla, I can’t wait to get married one day, we’re waiting for the right time.”
The two looked at each other and gave each other a small kiss. That was when Loid realized he was still holding Yors hand, and that he wasn’t planning to let go.
The 4 of them drank some wine while they ate. Well Yor refrained in hopes to keep her dignity.
…later…
“My! It’s gotten so late and I’m so drunk.” Dominic was right. It was as about 2 a.m. now and the couple hadn’t left yet. On top of that, they were both extremely drunk, they weren’t going anywhere.
“If you guys would like…” Loid sighed and finished his sentence, “You two can stay the night in out guest bedroom.”
“Really? That would be so nice!” Camilla slurred her words slightly.
Loid had rearranged all the rooms. One for him and Yor and the others became normal too.
“I am not sleeping with this man tonight though, do you have an extra room,” Camilla asked. Apparently she didn’t like Dominic when he was drunk.
“Yes..we do..” Yor reluctantly showed the couple the two separate rooms. Where am I gonna go…
Loid and Yor looked at their room and then back at each other awkwardly. The bed was made, Loid finally got rid of the awkward love bed sheets but it was still sheets with a pretty pink pattern and it was still sheets on one bed.
“Umm I can sleep on the couch if this is uncomfortable for you,” Loid said. Yor thought about it.
“No, if they wake up to see you on the couch it would raise suspicion. I trust you and you make me comfortable loid, let’s just sleep here.”
Maybe Yor was a bit drunk, she felt strangely confident about it.
“Well okay then..I don’t mind if you don’t mind.”
The two were in pjs since before the other couple arrived. They were in matching blue pjs, to fit the cover of course.
The lights were off and the two were in bed. Loid was trying extra hard not to get to close to Yor so she wasn’t uncomfortable. Yor was too but she realized it was silly.
“Loid we have to relax,” she turned to her side to look at him, “It’s going to be uncomfy all night if we’re like this.”
Loid turned around on his side to face Yor as well. It made him happy that the woman beside him felt so safe with him that she could trust him in the same bed as her.
“You’re right as usual Yor.. this may be kind of random but..” no twilight..she’s just part of the mission..you don’t have to say anything of the like to her, but, “You make me feel very safe, and I hope I do that for you too.”
Yor’s eyes were slowly closing but a smile formed on her face, “You..” she yawned, “You always make me feel safe, I’m glad you’re my husband..loid..”
Her eyes closed and Loid could tell that her breathing evened out. He turned back onto his back and looked at the ceiling. It’s just part of the mission.
…
I’m warm..and comfy. Is that my feet? Loids eyes slowly opened to find a woman in his grasp. Her feet were tangled in his and her face was nuzzled into his chest. His arms were wrapped around her waist. He noticed that her shirt had ridden up and the exposed skin was warm. Too..tired..he yawned..can’t move. I have to though, Yor won’t appreciate me invading… he fell asleep.
”Mama..Papa..” Anya walked into their bedroom. She giggled, “Mama and Papa are flirting.”
She jumped up on the bed and as discreetly as she could she got under the covers in between them. The three laid like that for what felt like infinity.
