golf… oh, the one with the little flags in the holes? that does seem like a tedious game… more fun to actually play than watch. { she’s beginning to settle, especially with his embrace. her wings flicker, servos slipping around his torso to loosely hold. }

{ setting aside her plate onto the coffee table before moving closer, plopping herself into the safety of his lap. nestling IN. } airball? hmm, what’s… your least favorite sport?

y - yes, please. ( 🥲 ) { chomp. }

i see… { this was a terrible choice. some fears you just can’t overcome. * 😖 }

{ nervously chewing on another piece of pizza. she’s stress eating. } does he just… hunt down everyone…

as in, the holiday? hmm… { very quickly is she curled into the side of his frame, holding onto him as if he’s going to vanish into thin air. be strong, cityspeaker! }

i’m… not… but, i can’t be scared of movies— and to get over my fears, i should watch them. with you. that’s a requirement. { she’s ALREADY SCARED!! moving to latch onto his arm once he gets close enough. }

hmm… we could watch a scary movie, perhaps? { because her OTHER idea is a little more suggestive. relax, girl. not as if they ever watch the movies anyway. } some people say it’s best to watch them while it’s raining.

i’ll be waiting ～ { a serious tone on rotorstorm sounds very… attractive. a blush begins to form on her features as she’s released, immediately pursing her lips. } so… a little over half an hour. whatever will we do?

i’d prefer the term seductive. it was also payback for you tugging on my wings when i was on the phone with hot shot… ehe. but, i like seeing you blush. { playfully puffing out her cheeks. release her from your clutches! or don’t. she’s content either way. * ☺️ }

{ she made him BLUSSHHH! she’s quietly laughing, wings giving a flirty flutter before she’s easing up on her touching. it was embarrassing for her too, mister. but she’s behaving now. * 😇 }

thank you… you’re so sweet to me. { now to pull a stunt like he did while he’s on the phone this time. leaning in to kiss along the sensitive wiring of his neck, digits tracing along his back. }

pepperoni ～ do you want cheesy bread? and a cookie… { nibble, nibble! he’s so cute, she can’t help herself. } pretty please. ( 😇 )

ah! just don’t get too rowdy… go ahead and order, then ～ { moving to try and graze her touch against his rotors. }

{ eee! that tickles, inching closer to nip at his nose. } you’ll have to let me go so i can order it… unless you’d like to multitask.

you’re such a scoundrel… but this one was partially my fault ～ oh! what do you think about ordering a pizza… { she’s all giggly, wings just wiggling! }

today is full of surprises… ehe! { popping up to step over and greet him, peppering him with a bunch of kisses. mwaaa! }

{ AHH!! she was a little frightened to hear the door suddenly open up, peeking out from her hiding spot… } honey! it’s you— you didn’t tell me you were getting off work early ～

{ she’ll be so excited! stay safe on the travel home, wrecker. it’s just drizzling outside. }

{ will he let it be a surprise? it’s hard to tell with him, really. the cleaning is allll done now, whew! }

{ okay. regardless, his lady will be here at home, waiting for him! * 💕 }

{ he should soooo come home early… }

{ happily cleaning the house. late start today… }

{ leaning in close to whisper the details, tugging him closer under the covers. * 💕 }

ehe, are you sure…? { you already woke him up, girl. too late to get shy now, moving closer to nudge her frame up against his. } i had a dream about you…

you know how you said i could wake you whenever… { cutely peeking up at him. maybe if she waggles her brow ridges, that’ll work like it did last time. }

umm… hi, honey. { nibbling on. }

{ nudging rotorstorm… grabbing his chassis. }

well, rotorstorm said the city is very old… ( 😓 ) so, if you and swindle ever go, be careful of that. but other than that, it was a pleasant stay.

{ eek. she’s not going to remember all this gambling talk, really… it was a one and done type of adventure. } yes! a real ghost— i’m positive of it. they had a negative energy to them, too…

but, um, we didn’t win either time…

oh, there was tons to see— while sightseeing, we went to the museum, and on the way there we also saw a ghost. ( 😖 ) { clutches rotorstorm. even recounting the incident frightens her. } and they had a casino. swindle, i thought of you instantly.

ehe, maybe if it wasn’t such a drastic fall. { it does sound a little scary of an activity. } but, it sounds as though you both had a great time!

well, i might accidentally lose my footing… i’ve been clumsy as of late. that would be my luck. ( 😣 )

um… i don’t think so. { do having nightmares of falling from high up count? }

{ HUH?? is he discreetly saying she has bad balance… } oh, ah, perhaps… i don’t think i’d try that out, then. ( 💦 )

oh, wow! on earth… ( 😲 ) { whispering to rotorstorm. } what’s ski?

{ cutely side eyeing rotorstorm… taking a seat right by him, now. } mm - hmm, that’s right. but! where did you go for your trip this time? ( 😯 )

i’m hoping for a summer vacation… ah, if everything goes well! { placing a cup of tea down for hot shot, a cup of tea for rotorstorm… } swindle, i’m trying to find the smallest cup i have for you. ( 💦 )

it was absolutely gorgeous… i want to go back ～ if it weren’t for the academy, we could have stayed for longer. ( 🥲 ) { back to the kitchen to ready some tea for the two… maybe not swindle, the teacup is bigger than him. } it sounds like our partners really outdid themselves for valentine’s day!

oh, of course! anything for you two, and the little darling. he’s been an angel. { she hums while coming over with the plate of crystal candies— don’t antagonize the small swindle, wrecker. } how was your trip? it must have been fun, yes?

yes! please come in, and take a seat. ( ✨ ) { guests!! she’s so excited, skittering back to the kitchen to prepare a plate of candy for them. don’t worry, she’s going to make a fresh batch tomorrow, rotorstorm. }

{ quickly making her way towards the door, peering behind rotorstorm. } ah, it was no problem at all! ehe, swindle, you’re still in holoform… you two must be exhausted.

i don’t know what that means. ( 💧 ) let them in, would you, honey?

hmm—? what is it? { busy in the kitchen!! she’s starting to boil the water!! }

what? what if the house was a mess and they just show up… i need time to prepare. { she says as if the house is ever in a state of disaster. relax, sunwire. } hmm… if that’s the case, i’ll prep some tea.

oh! that was— so ruben could continue his nap. ehe, don’t mind that…! ( ♨️ ) { aww, she’s all embarrassed, quick to shut off the tv. whew. } i haven’t gotten a call from the two yet, but i’m sure they’ll be home soon! they said around wednesday evening, i believe.

ehe, be nice to him! he’s saying he missed you. { gently folding up the umbrella, lightly tapping the end on the door step to remove the water droplets. perfect. stepping inside… don’t mind the peaceful music playing on the tv, rotorstorm. it was for ruben. }

i know, it’s so— silly. sounds as though ruben woke up from his nap… { unlocking the door to let the two in, soon reaching up to take the umbrella from him… and sneaking a kiss to his lips. } i got it from here ～ say hi to the little one.

you think so…? i don’t know how to stop worrying. such a bad habit. ( 😣 ) { already preparing her keys to let them into the house— her grip tightening on rotorstorm’s arm. don’t fall down the steps again. }
