Room 407, Friday Evening

[bigdamndestiny]

No candles, no burgers, nothing that Merlin had tried before for romance was happening tonight. That ended badly the last time to he was switching it up.

With cookies.

He even managed to get a bit of a variety pack so Francine could pick and chose what she liked best.

It was the culinary equivalent to Barry White.

[[For the boobs!]]

Francine dropped her face to her hand for a second, half to cover the laugh and half because WHAT. What comes out of your mouth, Miss Peters?

Oh, also half because otherwise with the task of opening it over with, she had nowhere else to stare. Yes, that was three halves. "Do you...?" She held the condom out, sort of in Merlin's direction. It was hard to tell with the face hand thing.

Merlin sat up, biting his lip and taking the offered condom. "I remember how," He muttered.

[thatsamilkshake]

"I'm glad one of us does." Octopus. What. Yeah, she was still on that.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Putting the condom on the bed next to him, Merlin grabbed her arm to pull her close enough to kiss her first. "It's alright, you know."

Maybe if he stopped laughing that would make it more believable.

[thatsamilkshake]

"That I'm an idiot?" Francine snorted.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"You have met me, right?" Merlin confirmed.

[thatsamilkshake]

"You're not--" Ahem. "You're just--" Ahem. "I love you anyway?" Oh, Francine. That might actually require more facepalming.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"It's alright," He repeated, kissing her again and pulling her closer still.

[thatsamilkshake]

"I know." She did, which was a new feeling, being sure of something. That'd be why.

Of course, there was now a condom under her knee.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

At least it was still within reach?

Or something of that sort.

There was kissing to be done right now, thank you every much.

[thatsamilkshake]

There was. Not that it would stop Francine from saying furthur dorky things for very long, but...

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

It worked for the moment. "Where did the--" Merlin kissed her again before continuing. "Octopus go?"

[thatsamilkshake]

"......." That was not conducive to Francine not wheezing as she rolled over to look for it. "Here!"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"You said it first!" Laughing during sex. The book must have something about this being utterly wrong in it.

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine held it out to him again. "Well... there was this...Shut up!" Ah, eloquence.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Seriously, the laughing so needed to stop.

"Octopus," He repeated, closing his hand around the condom and trying not to snort too much.

[thatsamilkshake]

"Stop that. This is very, very serious." Francine put her hand flat on his stomach and... tried to look stern as she shook a finger at him with the other.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin was very intimidated. "I'm being serious," He insisted, free hand on her hip.

[thatsamilkshake]

"Uh-huh." Francine sighed, shook her head, and held out her hand. "Give me that," said she, in tones that indicated she clearly didn't trust him to remember he was supposed to be putting it on.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin easily handed the condom over, still grinning at her. "I was getting to that."

[thatsamilkshake]

"Uh-huh," she repeated, and then without flailing at all -- except a lot but only on the inside so that doesn't count, right? -- Got To That.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

That was a sure fire way to get Merlin to stop laughing. Worked very, very well.

Yup.

He put his other hand on her leg, inhaling sharply and tryign not to arch up a little bit.

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine was a little busy staring. Sorry. "....Oh. That's what ribbed means."

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Like Merlin could not have to look too.

"...oh." HAND. HAAAAND.

[thatsamilkshake]

"I figured they went the other way." Yeah, she should probably move her hand, huh.
