I Didn't Think It Would Happen Like This

[Tree]

Ansel was delighted to see about how much fluff they could disperse about the entire room while he held his wife in his lap to make out with. He wasn't gunning to get laid so much as hoping to explore and share attention.

[Sushi]

Willow pulled back after only a minute, brows lifted.

"Are you rubbing me around on the floor like a mop?"

Because that's what it felt like to her.

[Tree]

Ansel snickered.

"No? "

He couldn't help the surprised amusement. No, not his attention but she did just cool him off a bit.

[Sushi]

"then why am i a broom for fuzzies?"

She rolled onto her back, plucking one from her hair

[Tree]

Ansel laughed, leaning to kiss her adoringly.

"Alright, alright. Come here. "

[Sushi]

Willow considered him for a minute before sliding an arm around his neck and coiling her legs around his waist to hoist herself right up onto his lap when he shifted back.

"Now you got me."

He might have downshifted a bit, but she had perked up.

[Tree]

Ansel smiled, sharing sweet, relaxed kisses with her as his hands came to rest cupping her backside.

/ Hopeful to always have you. /

[Sushi]

"you say that now, but what if I become a Velcro wife?"

Regardless of her words, her middle warmed with pleasure over his declaration.

[Tree]

Ansel chuckled.

"Things will get really awkward or really funny, if that happens. "

He mused, thinking of Nora and her slowly evident Vanilla (enthusiastic, double strength) tastes were. That would be interesting.

[Sushi]

"I'm not attracted to Nora," willow reminded him faintly, tracing a finger down his chest.

[Tree]

Ansel grinned a bit at her, watching her finger.

"But I'm very attracted to both of you. "

He answered simply.

[Sushi]

Willow's mouth pinched into a frown even as she ran her hands over him, idly studying the sensation.

"But... Do I have to?" She asked rather pitifully.

She didn't want to have to sleep with Nora.

[Tree]

Ansel looked confused and the hurt that she'd even think such a thing was out there before he could even tamp it down.

"No. Of course not, you don't have to do anything you don't want. "

The fact she doubted it.... he sucked.

[Sushi]

Willow recoiled a bit internally at his response, biting down hard on her barbell. Why couldn't she remember to keep her hold on it?

/Sorry./

Gently, she scraped her nails over his skin to distract from herself.

[Tree]

Ansel shook his head, pressing his forehead to his, smiling a small bit.

/ I'm OK. I just hate that I've taken your liberties to the degree that you worried that you'd have to do something like that. I never want that. It's mutual desire or nothing for us. Or, that's what I want?/

He shared tenderly, a bit shy at letting her see this type of insecurity.

[Sushi]

Willow didn't ease her jaw.

/I would like that./

[Tree]

Ansel nodded, hugging her into him, relaxing at how her body felt in his arms.

/I love you so much /

[Sushi]

Willow buried her face into his neck, slowly going limp as he squeezed her.

/I am small,/ she decided.

[Tree]

/ I love how you fit my arms. /

He shared with a tiny rush of delight at telling her.

[Sushi]

Willow smiled just slightly. After a second she started wiggling, though. If given enough leeway, she'd tug her clothes off over her head to drop behind him, first the sea-crisped shirt and then the skirt too. The woman then settled back against him, fully skin to skin again, only to hesitate.

/Is this okay?/

[Tree]

Ansel nodded, crushing his face into her hair with a nod. He was so content to let her smell flood his senses, happy delight curling in his stomach.

/ Always./

[Sushi]

Willow smiled, curling her arms around him and lazily dragging her fingers up and down his spine. Despite the apparent ease of her movements, a sense of urgency made her squeeze him periodically.

/I just thought if we were sitting here a little while longer, might as well make the most of it./

That was a massive understatement. It was as if she couldn't quite get close enough. Her unrest wanted to suck up every bit of attention while it had the opportunity.

[Tree]

/ Easy, my love. We're alright. I've got you. /

He was happy to hold her, whispering soft reassurances to her as he reminded her of all the little things he loved about her. From her finger tips to how her breathing matched to his when she slept.

[Sushi]

/for how many more minutes?/

[Tree]

/ Forever. /

Clearly he didn't mean just in his arms but heart. He might have to let go at some point for using the bathroom or such. But otherwise he intended it entirely.

[Sushi]

Just like last time, willow shook her head.

/Forever is too big./

And it wasn't real.

[Tree]

/ Today? /

He countered, not having the will to push her harder than she was up

[Sushi]

/today is okay./

Willow accepted this, cuddling into him. He'd already promised today. She just wanted the comfort of him saying it again. She kissed his chest.

[Tree]

Ansel softened, brushing his fingers through her hair.

"You're so lovely. I love you. "

[Sushi]

"love you too."

Willow snuggled him a minute or two before glancing up. Her whole body felt too heavy to move and she was somewhat fried inside, even if she had calmed.

"...I know we haven't been up very long, but I'm sleepy again."

To be fair, this was a lot to handle for a normal person, nonetheless someone that was already struggling with needing overload naps to reset. Maybe until she got used to it she could use extra?

[Tree]

Ansel nuzzled and kissed at her softly.

"Of course, darling. Let's get you to bed. "

Up to snuggle in the covers. He was calm and understanding as he tucked the covers about her.

/ Anything you need before going to sleep? /

[Sushi]

/probably./

But she didn't want to even invest the energy in thinking about it. She intended to go to sleep as she was. Well, except that she slid to rest her head on him.

[Tree]

He was not tired and therefore his mind kept on. He was musing about of he'd go back to work soon. Or if he'd start classes for medical school. About if he was gonna get any preschool classes for Rosie.

[Sushi]

Willow was completely powered down, not so much as a thought in her head until she roused purely from need to potty. But she stumble-scurried her way back, practically throwing her whole body onto him.

"Ansel," she mumbled.

[Tree]

Ansel snickered as the wind was sucked from his lungs by her jump.

"Hey you. "

[Sushi]

"want."

She snaked her arms around his middle and plastered her face against him in a way that seriously inhibited her ability to breathe.

[Tree]

/ Air? /

He suggested, shifting to create a pocket of space for her face to work on that.

[Sushi]

/nope/

She moved with him. Guess again

[Tree]

Ansel shifted.

/I can't breath for both of us. Passing out gives really crummy headaches, love...
/

[Sushi]

/nooo..../

Again, she followed him. However, this time she lifted her head and kissed him for a pretense to suck the air right out of his lungs.
