[ Still, he smiles... she really is beautiful when she's being even just a little honest like this. Even the hint of coyness only serves to heighten that beauty. ]
Well, that's humanity for you...
[ There's a hint of bitterness in his voice as well, but... ]
Ah, though of course now, they'd have to go through me, won't they?
Mhmm. They didn't even try today. It was kind of funny.
[ So she was Very Aware of all the attention they were getting as a couple, then. With how blithe and unbothered she'd been about it, you could fully believe she hadn't noticed a thing. ]
Does that mean you're gonna have to follow me everywhere to keep an eye on me from now on? You really are turning into my bodyguard.
[ though let's be real that's basically what he's been doing this whole time as it is ]
Heehee. Now that's definitely gossip worthy. The tabloids would go crazy over an idol being with her bodyguard.
[ He's a Servant, he's practically been her bodyguard since day one... ]
Hah, it would, wouldn't it? Perhaps keep that in mind... you know, in case you decide to be the most scandalous idol instead of the most perfect.
[ As far as scandals go, it's about as picturesque as they can get, after all. As if to further play at the idea of a scandal, his hands reach her chest again, lightly cupping her breasts in either hand. An idol dating her bodyguard and having kids at 16... what a combination. ]
I don't think I'd have a choice if it was up to you. You'd be staking your claim every chance you got, no matter how much trouble it caused. [ Then she giggles to herself again. ] Ah, then again... That's what you do all the time as it is. So I guess nothing would change.
[ apart from the twins trying to blow him up with their minds but ]
You definitely wouldn't be able to get away with making me this much of a mess either way. So you'd better enjoy it while you can.
[ She settles back against him with a satisfied sigh. ]
... or get used to treating me a little more gently. If you can manage it.
Hm... I'm not sure if that'll fly. I suppose we'll just have to mark you where no one can see it...
[ Said as if she doesn't have photoshoots and the like to deal with... photoshoots with a variety of different outfits. Her life as an idol will be getting much, much harder... ]
But you're right, I'll be taking full advantage while I can~
[ So he's definitely not going to be any gentler, aside from moments like these. ]
[ Well, if she's having fun, then it's only fair that he has fun too, right? ]
The victim? Would a victim really say...
[ Then, in a terrible impression of Ai's voice at the time... ]
Please don't stop, it hurts but I love it, I love it so please don't stop!
[ He would make it exaggerated, but... honestly compared to how she was actually saying it, the way he says it is tame in comparison to the desperation in her voice when she thought he might actually stop.
...that doesn't make him deserve to be smacked any less, admittedly. ]
[ Belly to belly is... more awkward of a position, honestly, but he's not ready for it. The way his face is flushed... is definitely because of the water, yeah. ]
I... I suppose so...
[ No getting out of it, no taking it back... it's already been decided.
[ Ai takes in the look on his face for just a few seconds too long and with a look in her eyes that's just a little too bright, too intense.
This is too much. Saying it to tease him, to rile him up with neither of them are really thinking straight but looking each other in the eye totally clearheaded and choosing to say it anyway...
It really is too much. It really is too soon.
They're much too far gone to be saved.
Her mouth twitches into a tender, uncertain smile for just a second. And then with a big performative sigh; ]
Aah, I guess I really am stuck, then... if there's no getting out of it, there's no getting out of it.
[ Her arms settle around his neck. ]
You'd better start acting like a proper husband, then. If we really are stuck.
[ It's much too fast... but neither of them know how to slow down any longer. Even if it results in an awful crash, how could he ever let her go now? ]
...What, I haven't been already?
[ She's so close... she was already close, but having her look at him in the eyes like this is... it's a lot. Too much, even... but he already decided to be gentle with her here, so he just has to force it back down... ]
[ God, he loves her so much. He's frozen with his face flushed as she kisses his forehead... but he returns the kiss when she moves back down to his lips. ]
Then... we'll stay like this for as long as you like...
[ This time, it's him who leans in to kiss her... even though he's going to have a very apparent problem if Ai doesn't put her back to him soon, he tenderly presses his lips against hers.
Their relationship has never been a normal one... marriage would hardly change that, now would it? ]
[ Hah. For as mean and bitter as he can be, it's that much cuter when he softens. It's still a little surreal whenever it happens - or maybe remembering the time she was so afraid of him that she couldn't even imagine him being gentle is what's surreal by now.
Maybe being stuck with him isn't so bad. ]
Mm. [ The breath that puffs against his lips becomes a little laugh. ] Maybe not like this for too long. The bath water might get cold.
[ She nuzzles the side of his face and presses a kiss there, too. ]
I wasn't kidding about you carrying me to bed, you know.
Hmm... [ She makes a show of thinking it over, even though really at this point, both of them knew she was probably going to back down on supposedly banishing him by the time they were back to the apartment. She really is too soft on him. ] Really, I probably should kick you all the way onto the roof with how you acted today...
[ So she says after spending the entire time voicing her clear and enthused approval. Totally just the innocent victim here. ]
But you did clean up the mess you made. And you are going to go get me some sweets tomorrow...
[ The sweets are still non negotiable, it seems...
[ Much too soft... especially since she's still bruised and battered all over. Not that she has much right to complain considering how sweetly and desperately she begged for him to keep doing her like that.
Something that will, almost certainly, be happening again someday. ]
Yes, yes, all the sweets you want... and in exchange, I get you...
[ Another satisfied little giggle and another kiss nuzzled into the side of his face. ]
See? You really can behave when you feel like it. Which makes it even worse when you act up like you do. One of these days I'm gonna have to get strict with you.
[ Another kiss, before she finally pulls back. Her lips are absolutely still tender and swollen, her mussed up hair clings to her bitten and bruised neck... but her eyes are bright and she looks warmly satisfied. ]
Should we go to bed, then? I already spent all day tiring myself out even before you decided to join in, too.
[ It's not every day you'll see a woman so warm and loving despite being so thoroughly bruised. His eyes aren't capable of such brightness... but his expression is just as warm. ]
Hoh? Well, I look forward to when you finally do.
[ Put him in his place, Ai... ]
Aah, already? Alright then...
[ ...but putting him in his place is going to have to wait. He pushes himself up so he can stand and step out of the tub, holding his hand out to help Ai out. If only he could always be this gentlemanly... ]
[ He really is just asking for trouble, isn't he... really, he should count himself lucky she's definitely in no fit state to return the favour right now or she'd absolutely make him sorry! ... or, well. Maybe she wouldn't. He did clean up after his mess, after all, and he's being so... considerate, all of a sudden. Not in the princely, irritating way the Faerie King made a show of being, either. ]
Mmhm. Already. Some of us actually do need to sleep, you know?
[ She takes his hand and slowly, carefully, eases herself out of the tub. It takes a little work, even with her hand in his - her thighs in particular are protesting loudly - but she manages. ]
Besides. Don't act like you're not looking forward to it.
[ Is it bad that he finds some kind of twisted satisfaction in seeing the struggle her bruises cause her? Yeah, it probably is... but just because he realizes that, doesn't mean he's planning on changing it.
He wastes no time in drying up, letting Ai do the same... as well as whatever else she has to do, in which Oberon watches her intently. Part of it is continuing to admire his handiwork... the bruises having been soothed by both him and the warm water, but still dark as ever.
...But mostly it's so that the instant he's done, he can scoop her up into his arms before she even has to ask. ]
[ Up she goes...! Somehow, despite being the one who asked him to pick her up like this, she's completely unprepared for it. ... Not that it would've been any easier or harder to pick her up, even if she had been. Pocket sized idol. ]
Jeez, at least give me a heads up before you do that.
[ But she sounds pleased and her arms immediately go around his neck at usual. C-considering just how embarrassed she got the first time he carried her like this, she's gotten used to it pretty fast... ]
Pfft. But you probably prefer catching me by surprise, huh?
[ Naked save for a towel, carried in his arms as if she's his bride... and yet somehow, this isn't even the most embarrassing thing they've done together. ]
As if I could resist any chance to make you scream~
[ Well, make her yelp in this case... but no, he won't be correcting his choice of words. Instead, he'll be strutting out of the bathroom with his bruised wife in his arms. Straight to their bedroom...
...to think that he immediately managed to get out of any kind of punishment for fucking her as roughly as possible in a semi-private public area through the power of aftercare. She really is too soft on him. ]

Who's this 'we', buster? If you fingerprinted all these bruises, you'd be the one and only culprit.
[ ... Then: ] Pfft. [ Never mind. She's just having fun. ] Well, I guess you can't take all the blame. What does that make me... your accomplice?
[ Then with another laugh: ]
Wait, actually! Aren't I the victim here? I'm totally innocent.
[ Even she can't say that with a straight face. ]

I think I've decided I want to go back to not being anybody's wife, actually.
[ they're already divorced?! ]
no subject
HAH!! Too late, no take-backsies.
[ What are they, children!? ]
no subject
[ "Yet", she says. "Yet."
With another huff, she turns around in his arms so she can squish his face in her hands.
... Don't think too hard about the fact that this means they're basically belly to belly right now. ]
... So I really am stuck as your wife, then? No getting out of it?
[ She's got a sulky face on as she says it, but...
Well, you don't need fae eyes to read the subtext of a question like that. ]
no subject
[ Belly to belly is... more awkward of a position, honestly, but he's not ready for it. The way his face is flushed... is definitely because of the water, yeah. ]

[ She tips her face up so she can kiss him - but rather than his mouth, she presses a kiss to his forehead instead. ]
But I like how things are right now. I like you the way we are right now. Even if you're the worst.
[ Then back down to his mouth - a kiss and her words murmured right against his lips. ]
So I think it's okay if we stay like this for at least a little longer.
no subject
Then... we'll stay like this for as long as you like...

Yes, yes... I know. May I assume I've regained my rights to join you there, then? I would assume that would be the husbandly thing to do.

no subject

But you did clean up the mess you made. And you are going to go get me some sweets tomorrow...

I guess I could forgive you, just this once.
