- >"Hey."
- >A piercing scream and the sounds of break glass shattered the silence of the apartment.
- >Sunset spun on her heel towards the window.
- >Glowing magenta eyes stared at her through the gloom, crinkled in amusement.
- >The figure in the window stepped in, catlike the graceful.
- >She straightened and stepped forward into the light.
- "Oh god, Adagio. You scared the hell out of me."
- >"That was the point, Sunny. It smells good in here."
- "Right. Before my heart gave out, I was making dinner."
- >Adagio's lids fluttered and her lips pulled into a smirk as she got close to Sunset.
- >Their bodies were almost touching, and Sunset could feel her breath on her neck.
- >"Dear, if your heart gave out think of all the fun we'd miss out on."
- >Sunset felt her cheeks heat as Adagio stepped forward.
- >She stepped back, then back, then back.
- >Her butt hit the edge of a table, but Adagio didn't stop.
- >Adagio was almost touching her, lips still pulled back into a smirk and eyes half lidded.
- >"So tell me Sunny..."
- >Her fingers danced up Sunset's stomach.
- >"What's for dinner?"
- "S-spaghetti..."
- >"Oh..."
- >Sunset gulped when Adagio crowed in delight.
- >"You know what they say about spaghetti."
- "W-what d-do they say?"
- >Adagio's gaze turned wicked, her lips just hovering over Sunset's.
- >"That it's straight until it gets wet and... Hot."
- >Adagio crooned delightedly as she stole a kiss from Sunset and danced away.
- >Sunset took a few long, slow breaths to steady her furiously beating heart.
- "You're a menace."
- >"And you are a great cook."
- >Sunset looked over at Adagio.
- >She was busy sampling the sauce.
- "Hey, it's not ready yet! You get away from that!"
- >Adagio laughed, stopping Sunset in her tracks.
- >Butterflies fluttered up her chest at the sound.
- >"Fine, fine. I concede. I shall leave this to you, Sunny Bunny. For a price."
- >Adagio gave her a wry grin.
- "W-what? Adagio!"
- >"O fairest princess of bacon, will thou grant me a simple request? Just a kiss, not on the cheek, I beg of thee, on the lips!"
- >Sunset laughed.
- "Fine, fine! I give. I will grant your humble request, fair knight."
- >Adagio's eyes glimmered as she embraced Sunset and kissed her hard.
- >They separated, Sunset flushed and Adagio grinning like a cat.
- >"I do believe your sauce is beginning to burn."
- "Ah!"
- ***
- >"Delicious, as I thought it would be. You've out-shown yourself once more."
- "Thanks, Adagio. I'm glad you like it."
- >"Indeed I do. What's for dessert? I know what I'd like."
- "Dessert? I didn't make anything- Adagio! Pervert!"
- >Adagio laughed at Sunset's hissing retort and narrowed eyes.
- >"Calm down Sunny Bunny. You're always so tense."
- >Adagio leaned forward, hiding her smirk behind her drink.
- >"I'd like to help you with that, if you'd be up to it."
- >Sunset blushed.
- "You're irredeemable."
- >"For you, my dear. For you."
- >Sunset laughed and covered her face with her hands.
- "You know something?"
- >Adagio's eyebrow quirked.
- >"What's that?"
- >Sunset peered through her fingers, green eyes dancing playfully in the dim room.
- "I really love you."
- >Adagio's smile wavered, and to Sunset it looked like she was about to bolt from the table.
- >Sunset grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
- "I know you don't want to say it yet. I get it. I'm not mad. I just want you to know, ya know?"
- >Adagio smiled softly.
- >"I know, Sunny Bunny. I'm sorry."
- >Sunset matched Adagio's smile.
- >"Walk me out? I think I should be going. Sonata and Aria are probably waiting."
- >They stood up and interlocked their fingers.
- >The trip to the window was short and brief, as was the gentle kiss they shared.
- >"I'll see you here, same time, same place, tomorrow night?"
- "And every night after?"
- >Adagio laughed at the hope in Sunset's voice.
- >"Of course, fair princess. A kiss before I go?"
- "I will grant you this request, my noble knight."
- >They laughed after their kiss.
- >Sunset stood there, in her dimly lit apartment, eyes closed and the lingering feeling of Adagio swelling around her.
- >Even after the window was shut.
- ***
- "I love days like these."
- >"Really?"
- >Adagio sounded disgusted as she wound her scarf tighter around her face and burrowed into it.
- >She was glaring at the fine flecks of snow that were falling, as if personally offended by their existence.
- >"I hate the cold."
- "Is it because you used to be a fish?"
- >Adagio shook her head.
- >Or shivered, Sunset couldn't tell which.
- >"No. Sonata loves the cold. The snow, especially. It's just a terrible time of year."
- "Yes of course. All those holidays that promote love and kindness are just awful, aren't they?"
- >Adagio's nod was stiff and firm.
- >"Holidays. Pheh. Over-commercialized pieces of crap."
- >Sunset offered her a pitying look.
- >She sidled up next to Adagio and interlocked their arms as they continued their walk.
- "Adagio, commercialized doesn't mean bad. You can still love and care for someone. The best gifts I've ever gotten are from my friends, and they've barely spent anything."
- >Adagio peered at her suspiciously.
- >"Your friends and you are weird outliers."
- "Outliers?"
- >"Outliers."
- >Sunset flicked her nose.
- >"Ouch! What was that for?"
- "Well dear, us outliers always have such extreme reactions to things, don't we?"
- >"Yeah yeah, I get it."
- >Sunset yelped when Adagio pulled her arm free and landed a smack on her rear.
- >"I'm still not happy about it."
- >She rubbed at her rear and glared at Adagio.
- "Not funny."
- >"You're right. Smacking your ass is sexy, not funny."
- >Sunset turned away, tilting her head up and crossing her arms.
- >Adagio stopped and looked at her oddly.
- >"Are you pouting?"
- "I do not pout! I'm declaring protest."
- >"You're really pouting. Wow."
- "Protest! My body isn't your plaything-"
- >"I wish it were, you'd be wearing a lot less."
- "And I demand to be treated with some respect!"
- >Adagio sighed and shut her eyes.
- >She counted to ten, then backwards, then back to ten.
- >"Sunny?"
- "Ye-"
- >Sunset's eyes stared into deep magenta as Adagio furiously kissed her.
- >In a rare act of spite, Sunset stuck snow down the back of Adagio's coat.
- >Like a woman possessed, Adagio began flailing around, jumping up and down and side to side to rid herself of the freezing cold snow.
- >It took her almost a minute, but when she did and she turned to a laughing sunset, her face was bright red.
- >"That wasn't funny."
- "Then why am I laughing?"
- >"Oh you're gonna get it, Shimmer."
- >Sunset kept laughing, even as Adagio tackled her to the ground.
- >Now it was Sunset's turn to dance, or writhe around on the ground, when Adagio copied her act of vengeance.
- >Now it was Sunset's turn to dance, or writhe around on the ground, when Adagio copied her act of vengeance.
- >Adagio pounced on her, fingers coming up under her clothes to scratch at her sides, sending Sunset into peels of laughter.
- "Haha! Dagio, stop! Stop! I give!"
- >"Say uncle, Pony!"
- "Uncle! Uncle!"
- >Adagio began laughing too.
- >They rolled around in the fresh white snow for a little longer before stopping, flushed and sweaty and panting.
- >"Y-you know, Sunny?"
- "What's that?"
- >"I think I'm starting to like days like these too."
- "Oh? What changed your mind?"
- >They sat up, and Adagio turned to Sunset with a wide grin.
- >"You did."
- >Adagio's eyes closed and her lips pulled together as she leaned in for a kiss.
- >Sunset smirked.
- ***
- "SUNNY!"
- >Adagio shrieked when Sunset met her lips with a snowball.
- >She looked up to see Sunset sprinting away from her, laughing all the while.
- >"YOU COME BACK HERE!"
- >Adagio bolted up from her spot and began chasing her wayward charge.
- >She loved days like these.
