A Night In

The two of had decided on a quiet evening in, a sleepover. Howdy had originally wanted to take you out to another restaurant, but after talking about it both of you decided to have an evening inside.

"What do you want for dinner?" You asked, turning from the chill of the open fridge to look at Howdy. He at a stool at the kitchen island, nursing a glass of milk with a cookie dunked in the milk.

"Didn't I tell you no milk and cookies until after dinner?" Your voice was teasing yet stern as he put the soaked cookie in his mouth, his tongue stuck out to catch the stray drips of milk. He smiled and shrugged, his upper set of arms up in an I surrender, but I'm not sorry sort of way. His other pair of hands made quick work of putting the cookies and milk away, probably for later.

He cleared his throat and chuckled nervously. His bottom set of arms were fiddling, rolling the hem of his shirt between his fingers. "Sorry?" He mused, grinning with yellow tinted cheeks.

You grinned and sighed, turning back to fridge. "What do you want for dinner?" You asked again. Howdy hummed and walked over, crossing the room in only a few strides. He looked over your shoulder, one hand on the fridge door, another on your shoulder and one on your waist. His final hand was on his hip, his antennas shifting a little as he thought.

He paused and lifted his hand from the fridge door, hooking a finger under your chin and tilting your head back so you'd look at him. "What about lasagna?" He quipped, his chest rumbling against your head as he spoke though you barely registered it. You hummed, your face scrunching up in thought. "Eh, maybe. Macaroni 'n hotdogs? Just lookin' for somethin' simple." You put in, looking up at him to see his reaction.

Howdy hummed, pressing a light kiss to your forehead, "Sounds good to me, Dove."

You looked up at him, expression blank, before a grin curled your lips, and you giggled. "Dove? Where did that one come from?" You took pride in watching as his cheeks flushed and he laughed nervously, "Just felt right, and well," he paused, glancing at the wall before looking back down at you, a warm smile on his lips, "it means 'gentle or innocent person' and you're my love, so."

You snorted, unable to help the wide smile on your lips as you pushed his side. "That's so cheesy!" You groaned, feeling a warmth in your chest as he pretended to be moved with your shove.

He huffed, wrapping his arms around you and holding you against him, lifting you to be level with him. "Only cheesy for you, Dove," he murmured with a cheeky smirk.

You chuckled, shaking your head. "You're lucky you're cute, you know that right?" you said, pretending to be unamused, yet a smile tugged traitorously at the corners of your lips. You kicked your legs, a vain attempt to make him set you down.

He chuckled, leaning down to nuzzle your nose in am Eskimo kiss. "So are you! Like a sweet, cuddly thing," he teased, that glint in his eye that said he liked watching your cheeks get warm. He hoisted you up, crossing his lower set of arms under your bum as he held you up.

You huffed, sticking your tongue out at him. You watched as he glanced away from you, perking up slightly. His antenna shifted, tilting towards the living room. His grin widened into a smile.

"Howdy, what are you planning?" you asked slowly as he took two slow steps towards the couch. "Howdy?" You asked again ehen he didn't respond. In mere seconds, you were falling and watching him smile like a cat who got the cream.

You landed with an umph on the couch, a throw pillow under your head, another falling off the couch. As soon as you tried to sit up, you fell back down, Howdy’s weight settling on you like a blanket. You watched, amused, as he nuzzled your stomach before blowing a raspberry into your skin, making you squeal and push his head away.

He laughed, loud and joyful. He moved his head away from your belly, instead resting his chin on it, looking up at you with gentle eyes.

"I love you," he murmured softly, like a gently spoken secret.

Your heart skipped a beat at his words. It always did when he said it, but it felt like it skipped two now. You smiled back, lightly pinching his nose as you responded woth your own low whisper, "I love you too."

I'm not dead. Just dying from the heat. And procrastination. And work.

A Lazy Anniversary

She awoke slowly, mind coming to slowly before her eyes opened, stuck in that half-asleep-half-awake state of consciousness. She opened her eyes with a soft, raspy hum. She licked lips, moistening her dry mouth. She could feel drool long dried on the corner of her lips, crusty and slightly uncomfortable. She groaned, stretching before laying limp once again on the bed. She patted the area next to her, finding nothing but messy blankets and lukewarm sheets.

She hadn't even realized she'd closed her eyes again until she opened them to look at the other side of the bed. She grumbled a series of unintelligible words, grabbing her husband's pillow and pulling it close, burying her face in it.

She stayed like that for a while, drifting in and out of sleep, not quite dozing and not quite awake. She opened her eyes a sliver, hearing the bedroom door open. She was hit with the smell of eggs and toast and sausage after a moment, the smell drifting around the room.

Her husband, Maddix, came in, a soft smile on his lips. He wore only a pair of sweatpants, his hair messy and tousled. He held a tray precariously on one hand as he closed the door with the other.

"Hey love," he murmured, walking closer and setting the tray on the nightstand. He sat down next to her, pulling her closer and burying his face in her hair, "happy anniversary baby."

She smiled, leaning into his chest and enjoying his warmth. "Hey," she murmured back, "happy anniversary. Is breakfast in bed part one of whatever you probably have planned?"

She glanced over at the tray, admiring it's contents. Maple sausage, fried eggs, and some lightly browned toast with a slight sprinkle of cinnamon, just how she liked it. It made her smile.

"Just planned to stay in and treat you like a queen," he uttered into her hair, his hands rubbing her sides with light pressure, his fingertips grazing her warm skin. "Bring you breakfast in bed, cuddle, maybe watch a movie. Just laze around. Even did the cleaning for you, babe."

She scoffed and grinned, "thank you. It looks good." She pulled herself out of his arms to lean forward and  grab the plate and fork, pulling it close and curling up against his chest again. His arms wrapped loosely around her waist, his thumbs caressing her skin and his lips against her temple.

It was silent for a while, the only noise their shared breathing and the tapping of a plastic fork against a ceramic plate.

"I remember practicing how to ask you out in the mirror," he mumbled suddenly against her skin, breaking the peaceful silence. "I practiced for days, trying not to embarrass myself."

She chuckled, putting the fork down and covering her mouth with the back of her hand as she spoke, words slightly muffled from the food in her mouth, "that didn't help you much, did it?" She teased softly, "you stuttered and stammered for a good few minutes in that park. I thought you were having a stroke or something."

Maddix chuckles, ruffling her hair before pressing a kiss against her temple, "mhm. And when I finally got it out, who was the one flushed then?"

She groaned, rolling her eyes. She swallowed, setting the plate on the nightstand, "Yeah yeah, you try never being asked on a proper date before."

Maddix, the loving husband he was, smiled and pulled her close, falling backwards with her clutched to his chest. He buried his face in her neck, pressing gentle kisses against her skin. "And you looked amazing," he murmured between soft pecks.

She smiled, a warm feeling spreading in her chest. She relaxed into his arms, sighing softly. "I love you, you know that?" She murmured quietly.

He stopped his kisses, smiling against her skin, "I love you more, and if you try and argue that, I will tickle you until you're begging for my mercy."

She giggled, rolling to lay next to him instead, "Yeah yeah. Come on, put on The Wild Robot. It finally came out on the TV and I wanna watch it." She snuggled up to him, pulling the blankets back up and over them.

He scoffed playfully, grinning and leaning over her to grab the remote. He snagged a kiss, holding her lips for a moment before parting and laying back down. He pulled her closer, laying her head on his chest, and scrolled through to put on her movie with a gentle grin and a fluttering in his stomach.

A Midnight Hangout

This wasn't what he was expecting, truthfully. When Vivian had come up to him a few hours ago, the sun setting over the trees and a chill that made the hairs on his neck stand tall, asking if he would come with her into the woods. He hadn't expected anything exciting or sensual, since she was his best friend, but he hadn't expected to just sit in some random clearing next to a creek.

"What are we doing Vivian?"

"Watching the stars. Do you not see them?" She gently grabbed his chin, making him tilt his head back until he was looking up at the sky. "I mean, look look, not just like, see it. They're so much more than in the city."

He shook off her hand, secretly tempted to bite it, but the look she gave him made him put that idea to rest.

He sighed, leaning back on his hands, "Okay? What's the point though?"

Vivian groaned, a little annoyed at his attitude. "Think about it! If we pollute so much of the sky that you can barely see the stars, what else have we done?"

"Is this some sort of crisis? Because I'll be honest, I'm not good at comforting people." He frowned, looking worriedly at her as he gave her a once-over.

She scoffed, rolling her eyes. "No, dumbass. I just- What else has humanity done? What other damage have we caused?" She paused, looking over to him now, "you read all those books with dystopian stuff, right?"

He raised an eyebrow, hesitant as he spoke slowly, "Yeah. What about them?"

She leaned closer, not quite in his bubble but pushing that boundary. "Well, what do you think about them? I mean like, some people are like oh yeah, they're terrible and take away our freedom and whatnot, but what if they were actually good, ya know?"

"I don't think I do," he chuckled, "elaborate, maybe," he chuckked, smiling down at her, smirk teasing.

She scoffed, shoving his shoulder. The action made him almost fall over, the brown, crispy leaves catching on his clothes. They both laughed, her beginning to pick some of the leaves off of him.

"I mean like, what if a society like that was good for humanity *and* nature? Like, humans cause so much damage to ourselves and the things around us, if that was all controlled, would we be better off?" She explained, calming her snickers. She took a deep breath, the exhale a soft wheeze from the cold autumn air.

He hummed, shrugging, "maybe. But, what if it was worse? People, by design, want free will, right? So, if we were controlled in almost every fashion, it would cause a rebellion eventually."

"Yeah, I guess," she sighed, blowing a raspberry. She leaned back, laying on the cool, damp ground.

He frowned, nudging her side, "You're gonna get soaked, and I am not taking care of your ass if you get sick."

She scoffed again, rolling her eyes with a smirk, "you would and you know it, fucker."

He sighed and smiled, "yeah, I guess I would, dumbass."

“Sometimes I almost forget there’s a world outside these walls.”

[candyrockpop]

It says so much about Grian’s character that he is willing to bend every single rule and to go on deadly quests for his allies, but never once has it occurred to him that he is a dark green name and letting Skizz or Mumbo get a kill on him would save them far easier than any tnt minecart traps or cobwebs or diamond armour ever could.

On the one hand it speaks to that rat bastard every-man-for-himself side we all know he has. In the same way that he can never bring himself not to try to win for a second time, the thought of willingly giving up a life is so foreign to him that it doesn’t even occur to him as an option. Of course he isn’t going to just let someone kill him, Grian is a survivor.

But on the other hand? On the other hand it speaks of hope. It speaks of the idea that if he fights hard enough, if he is clever enough, if he can just stick it out and use his lives to solve this puzzle then there is a way for him to save his loved ones. There is a way for all of them to live.

[candyrockpop]

no hope for that guy
