67 - [video]

[blackshadow]

[ There's a small list of agreements written neatly and legibly:

Neither Tyr nor Rita will take their bets seriously. Both parties reserve the right to be sore los call off the bet at any time.

Rita will only feed Tyr meat when he is a dog any carnivorous animal.

Tyr will not steal Rita's underwear while cursed. He will replace any that he takes!!

Rita will bathe at least three times a week.

Tyr will make sweets at least three times a week.

Rita will

And the pencil is just laying there when Tyr finally talks: ]

--Forget it! We'll never get this sent off at this rate.

[Rita's voice grumbles in response as she slams a hand against the page.]

Of course we won't if you keep making up dumb stuff like this--you're just scared you'll lose another bet, aren't you?!

[And now she jostles the device, which she had turned on.]

I bet everyone else in the City agrees with me!

[ And that just makes Tyr's face go red as he shoots back: ]

And making candy isn't pointless?! Go ahead and ask if you're actually that sure--And make a bet out of it!

Sh-shut up! --Fine, just get ready to lose!

[Well, City, what do you think? >:|b]

Comments

[negativegate]

[Yes exactly~!]

[Regardless of this curse, she always knows that he cares...though she still appreciates gestures that show it.]

I'd prefer if we didn't have to worry...

[blackshadow]

[ Delicious lemon cake~♥ ]

[ He likes to let her know that he cares about her, too. Even if it's not needed.

He nods in return. ]

Then let's not... We don't need to think of this, either... Tomorrow will probably be one of the safe days anyway.

[negativegate]

[Delicious and amazing~]

[Just because they don't have to doesn't mean they can't, after all. It makes Rita pretty happy.]

It's past midnight, so tomorrow's already here, anyway.

[blackshadow]

[ I miss lemon cake ;v; ]

[ That's more than enough reason for Tyr to do it. ]

That's true... [ He laughs a little. Their room...and their bed, which he'll just let himself plop down onto. ] Come on, let's get some sleep already.

[negativegate]

[Aww ;^; I hope you can have some soon!! Schools needs to carry more baked goods, huff...]

[The perfect reason, even! She's pretty happy to hear him laugh, too, and tugs off a couple articles of clothing before climbing onto the bed next to him.]

Sounds good to me. We need it.

[blackshadow]

[ I hope so too! ;3; maybe when I get home... I'd rather make my own! ]

[ Maybe he'll kick off his clothes in the night, but right now, just his sweater and sweatpants are good enough. He's much, much more focused on crawling closer to Rita and wrapping an arm around her. ]

After all that arguing we did...

[ And now it's just like it should be... ]

[negativegate]

[Hee, me too. ;v; Homemade is always the best!!]

[Socks, underwear, and shirt are good for Rita! Especially since she always has a Tyr-blanket, which she's more than happy to cuddle up to.]

Why we were even arguing about that stuff, anyway?

[blackshadow]

[ It iiis~ When you get to make it all on your own~ ]

[ And Tyr's perfectly happy to keep her warm by clinging to her. It's hard for him to really think he was even annoyed with her earlier. ]

Probably the curse... Estelle was definitely right...

[ He nuzzles his face into her hair. It's weird that the smell of her hair is something familiar now. ]

[negativegate]

[And can make it exactly how you want~ :3]

[Rita will totally blame the curse for the arguing. Right now, she smiles and breathes in deeply--just the scent of Tyr is as familiar to her as her research.]

So let's not worry about it...

[blackshadow]

[ I like mine with glaze on top :3c ]

[ His hand starts to slowly stroke her back just to enjoy the way it feels. He just loves being with her... That's all he wants to think about now. ]

Right... This is all that really matters.

[negativegate]

[Oooh, yes! Glazes are so good... :3]

[That's really comfortable... She makes a pleased hum, eyes half-lidded.]

Just us.

[blackshadow]

[ They aaaare~ Because...sometimes you need sweet for the sweet-sour! \:3/ ]

[ He presses his lips to her hair in a little kiss. His Rita... ]

Mm... This is the thing that never has to change...

[negativegate]

[Yes~ It's a perfect combination! :3]

[Her smile widens and she laughs a little. Marriage isn't something she needs to consider when they're already like this.]

And so it won't.

[blackshadow]

[It really iiiis ;v;]

[Tyr knows they don't ever have to marry - it's not like they need each other's status or can actuall have a family - but he still wants more. More of them.

It's silly and he knows it. He's happy like this...]

That's right. It can't.

[negativegate]

[Lemon is so good...;v;]

[And while Rita's not thinking that way, if she knew Tyr wanted it...she might try.]

So we can stay just the way we want.

[blackshadow]

[ It's always been one of my favourite fruits ;v; ]

[ But Tyr doesn't want to rush things, either. There's still the fact marriage doesn't mean much in the City. ]

Mmhm...

[ He can't imagine not doing this now... After a moment, though, he mumbles: ]

Even if we got married, none of this would change, either... It'd still be the two of us...

[negativegate]

[Me too! :D Lemon and lime are so good~]

Huh? Well...

[And hearing him actually say it like that makes her blush again, especially as she wonders if he's been thinking about it since the curse ended...]

Th-that's right... So there's no reason to do it, right?

[blackshadow]

[ They are~ I love citrus fruits. ♥ ]

[ He'd be lying if he said it hadn't been on his mind. Even though they just said nothing would change, it still hurts a little knowing Rita wouldn't want to marry him--but why would she anyway? And why does he just now? He's gotten way too sentimental. After another pause, he shakes his head against her hair and hugs her closer. ]

...Right. It's not like we're in our own worlds...

[negativegate]

[Me too! :3 All of them except grapefruit...]

[She thinks he agrees with her...but there's a part of her that's no entirely sure, especially with that pause. Either way, though, she tries to brush it aside and nuzzle him a little. After all, they're already perfect together like this...]

And we don't need to be. We're fine the way things are now.

[blackshadow]

[ Because it's bitter? ]

[ She definitely loves him... He doesn't have any doubt about that as he nuzzles her right back. ]

We are... Things are perfect right now. As long as it stays like this...

[negativegate]

[Exactly. ;^;]

[Without a doubt, they're totally in love. And Rita thinks that's all they need.]

Good...because it will.

[For a while, at least...until one of them goes home.]

So relax now...

[blackshadow]

[ It's not so bad with salt! ;3; but you need to salt every bite. ]

[ And Tyr knows that's all they should need. He doesn't even want to imagine waking up one day and Rita being gone. ]

I will... Sorry...

[negativegate]

[Ooh, really? I've never tried it that way...]

[Rita doesn't ever want that to happen...even though she knows it will one day, for one of them.]

Huh? It's okay. You don't have anything to apologize for...

[She doesn't think he said anything weird... Unless maybe he was worrying about this?]

[blackshadow]

[ yes! Maybe give it a shot sometime :> ]

[ He just keeps stroking her back slowly. He doesn't really know how to respond; he just knows he made things weird. ]

If you say so... Are you warm enough?

[negativegate]

[Maybe I will! We get grapefruit once in a while.]

[She just hopes that if he was worried about something, he can really relax now.]

Yeah, of course.

[Because they're snuggling together!]

You?
