"You ass!" She ran after him and jumped on him, wrapping her legs tightly around his middle and her arms around his neck. Her famous leach move. She rested her chin on his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "I'll let go if you say sorry."
"What if I just fell backwards and crushed you."
(She's on his back. Sorry should have said that)
((Easy fix lmao
She snickered. "I've got built in armor, you know. I can take a fall from 2,000 feet in the air."
"Well, I'm pretty fat."
"I'll lick you."
"How do you know I won't like it? I might be into freaky things like that."
She scrunched up her face. "Please tell me you're not."
He laughed. "Imma let you decide if you want to test it."
She grinned evilly and licked his neck–with her forked dragon's tongue.
He winced, shivering. "You called my bluff."
"Ha!" She shifted her weight, slightly loosening her hold and resting her head again, more relaxed than before. "You still have to say sorry." she said.
"Still don't think I'm gonna."
"Hmm." She moved her head closer to the crook of his neck. "Then I guess I'll just have to stay here."
He shrugged. "I'm fine with that."
"Won't you get tired of holding me? Plus, pretty sure poor Lydia and Ali want to leave the kitchen." Despite her words, she made no move to leave.
He shook his head, then thought for a moment. "Well, we can go walk somewhere."
"I don't particularly feel like being carried around the city. Everybody knows me."
"So you just want to stand here on my back while the twins watch."
"Say sorry and we can go on that walk."
He rolled his eyes. "Okay. Sorry."
She smiled and hopped off, fixing her shirt. "Was that so hard?"
"Yeah, very."
"Meanie." She pulled out her cash and set it on the counter. "Sorry Lydia, Ali! It won't happen again, I promise." She turned to Runner with a smile. "C'mon. I wanna show you something."
He shrugged.:"I'm guessing you won't tell me before we get there?"
"It's my ultimate favorite place in all the realms." She ducked her head, hiding her blush. "I've never showed anyone this place before. Too… private."
"Then, once again, why me? I'm not complaining, if that's what you think, I'm just confused."
She sobered up, crossing her arms. "It sounds an awful like you're complaining."
"It's just..like, there are a lot better people than me, ya know? You don't seem to be a girl who settles for less."
