Perhaps we'll just have to listen to one another when we say we're not as awful as we think we are.

Easier said than done.

[powerisyours]

I know.

[ just nuzzling into her hair ]

[ridestherider]

[You get a comfortable sigh for your trouble.]

[powerisyours]

For now, I'll settle for agreeing not to get up any time soon.

[ridestherider]

[Wrapping her arms around the magicboss.]

[powerisyours]

[ sliding his arm around her waist ]

Happy birthday, Natsumi.

[ridestherider]

Thank you, Jiu Wu.

[powerisyours]

Take a nap. You look exhausted.

[ridestherider]

[powerisyours]

Hmm. . .

[ and there's some quick twisting and swooping and guess who's being princess carried to the bed ]

[ridestherider]

[Squeak-yelping, but not arguing.]

[powerisyours]

[ gonna dump a ladyrider on the mattress and flop down beside her ]

[ridestherider]

[Gonna curl up and essentially force you into being the big spoon, because I can.]

[powerisyours]

[ that just means you can use one of his arms as a pillow and the other will be slung around your waist ]

[ridestherider]

[Settling back into him and getting nice and comfy, holding the hand on the arm around her waist.]

[powerisyours]

[ snuggling closer and burying his nose in her hair, his fingers spreading and flattening against her stomach ]

[ridestherider]

[This is far preferable to the other stuff.]

[powerisyours]

[ he seems pretty happy with this arrangement, as well ]
