we didn't start the fire

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Akane has been grouchy all day. Larxene, hoping she just needed longer to wake up or something, has been trying to go through their normal routine, but it's not really working. The baby hasn't cheered up much, and mommy's just gotten more frustrated.

Sitting down to play seemed to be working for a little while, until Larx noticed it was already past Akane's naptime and tried to put her toys away, causing her daughter to start throwing a screaming tantrum.

She (mother, not baby, of course) is trying very hard not to lose her temper.]

Shut up, you stupid brat! It's just a dumb toy you'll forget about in ten minutes anyway!

[she picks her up, turning her head to avoid a flailing hand. Something smells like smoke...

Oh. The stroller is starting to catch fire. Isn't that lovely.]


((ooc: no, chat, she's not going to shake her. D:
Also, this is an open post! Don't be afraid to tag.))

[looks him over, as though sizing him up]

Hmm...

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

... [way to make him nervous and self conscious suddenly, Larxene.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

...

Don't make me regret it.

[Larxene grabs him for another kiss.]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[Again, he's caught off guard, but he recovers quickly and returns that kiss, looping his arms around her waist.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Maybe it's time to quit doubting herself. Things weren't going to get any less awkward if she didn't do something about it. She makes a little contented noise and nibbles on his lower lip.]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[He breaks away from the kiss after a moment.]

If we really are going to try this, though... You need to understand that I'm not just going to walk away from Riku either, okay?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I know. I guess I can live with that if he's not going to try and kill me.

[pauses]

I mean, we shouldn't get too serious anyway.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

He's not the murdering type.

[Frowns at that second statement]

Yeah, that's true.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I mean, I want you but it's not a good time for a relationship relationship. You've got him for that.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Yeah... [Hugs her, tipping his head down to nuzzle against her neck a bit] Guess this means I have to get used to being with a woman.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[tilts her head back to give him easier access, her mouth curving into a small smile]

I don't think you'll have trouble with that.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Mm, I guess we'll see. [kisses at her neck lightly]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[slips her hands under the back of his shirt and slides them up over the scars]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[Shivers! Hesitating a little, lips still pressed against her neck] 'Xene...

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

No, that was Romeo's nickname for me.

[she pets the scars, wanting him to react more]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[And he does, shivering more, making a little noise in his throat] Larxene, then...

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

That's better.

[still tracing the marks with one hand, she lets the other drop back down to rest on his rear]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[His hands shift from around her to run along her sides, feeling her curves, a little disoriented to be with someone smaller than him.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Think we should be doing this in front of the baby?

[The baby is fast asleep and couldn't care less.]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Ah, well... I guess not.

darn, you caught me right before I was going to take a nap

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I don't know who else can watch her.

[She hasn't seen that Naminé around in a long time.]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Riku could babysit...

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, great idea. "Hey Riku, want to watch my kid for a little while so I can fuck your boyfriend?"

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[laughs] Do you have any better ideas?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Not really.

[Riku would find out sooner or later anyway.]
