Adam can't help it, he's on something of a high. There's a disgustingly smug look on his face as he closes the door behind him, and he calls out with a laugh-


"HONEY, I'M HOME."

Comments

"I wonder how much longer," she says softly and turns to kiss his hand. Her lips twitch faintly. "You know, until I'm too fat."

It's said jokingly now, and she laughs quietly.

[last_adam]

He kisses her forehead then, and pulls her closer, because he knows it can't be all that much longer.

[the_lioness]

They both know. Sighing, Alanna smiles and rains kisses across his face.

"Love you, and," she winks, "I'm sure we will survive somehow."

[last_adam]

"We survived before we had each other."


Not that it was nearly so fun.

[the_lioness]

Her eyebrow shoots up.

"If," she starts slowly and firmly, "you have any intention of surviving in quite that fashion, I will be rather upset with you."

She pokes him in the side.

[last_adam]

". . . That's not what I meant!"


Adam squirms, moving a bit to the side before grabbing her hand, kissing it, and rolling on top of her.

[the_lioness]

Laughing, she grins up at him and squeezes his hand.

"I should hope not." She wriggles playfully. "Comfortable?"

[last_adam]

Adam nods and smiles, wrapping his arms around her as he yawns.



"More so than I've ever been."

[the_lioness]

Alanna looks at Adam and smiles.

A moment later, she glances toward the kitchen and her (his) abandoned ice cream. She sighs.

Sometimes, sacrifices need to be made.

"Aye," she agrees, snuggling closer. "I feel the same."

[last_adam]

It's alright, he'll get her more in the wee small hours of the morning. With hardly any complaining, even.



Another soft kiss on her forehead, and his breathing softens even more.

[the_lioness]

"Good night," Alanna whispers and strokes his hair.

She's so intent on watching him fall asleep, that she doesn't notice when she starts to yawn herself. It's not long, however, until she falls asleep with a smile.
