One
‘Come on, guys. This is the eighth time we’ve gone over this. You should have had this down hours ago.“ Zephyrine sighed a bit hard, rubbing between her eyes, frustrated with her Sisters.
"I’ve got a dinner to get to, so we’ll go over this one more time before I have to leave.” she groaned, clapping her hands together to get the girls attention.
“Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup!” She shouted as she clapped for the girls, who were doing very well this time with the choreography. Until the last little bit, in which all of the girls messed up and got all out of sync. Zephyrine sighed hard, standing up and clapping very loud.
“Alright, girls. This is the end of the session tonight. I will leave you guys a video so you can watch it while I’m away tonight, and possibly tomorrow.” she explained.
She had a date with her beautiful witch lover, and she wasn’t going to miss it for the world. She had been kicked out of her own home so that Ruby could do something while she was gone. “Here’s the video, and make sure you guys practice while I’m away. I’ll know if you don’t~!” she teased, setting the video on the seat she was just on for them.
She vanished into her room, her Mistress’s room, and changed into a tight pair of black dress pants, and a very revealing white, short-sleeved dress top. Grinning, she hoped that her lover would enjoy her outfit. She ran a brush through her knee length silver-white hair and brushed her teeth (so she didn’t taste like dirt, like some Foxes did in her family).
Making sure she was dressed just right, she sighed and closed her eyes, imagining her house and teleporting to her front doorstep. She opened her eyes when the whoosing stopped and knocked on her door, even though she had a key.
“Honey, I’m home~!” she joked, leaning on the door-frame, waiting for the door to open. She could hear singing coming from inside her house, and listened a bit harder, raising her eyebrow. It was a song from when they had first met, years ago, at the entrance ceremony.
She blushed slightly, knocking on the door a bit harder, hoping that Ruby would hear her knocking.
The singing stopped and footsteps were heard dashing towards the front door. “Coming!” the melodic voice sounded as the locks were undone and the door was opened slightly. Zeph grinned as Ruby stared at her in shock, obviously not expecting her back home yet.
“Hello, darling.” she murred, leaning down to place her hand on her lover’s expanded waist, pulling her close to her. She kissed the woman gently, growling ever so softly as she licked her lips. “Ruby, how are you feeling today?” She was always asking her wife how she was doing, since she was ballooned in her pregnancy, and larger than anyone thought she would get.
The smaller woman moaned against the fire fox, gripping on her as she blushed. “I-I’m feeling better now that you’re here.” she admitted, blushing very hard. “Our children have been very active today..” she giggled, placing Zephyrine’s hand on her swollen belly as the twins’ kicked and twisted.
Zeph dropped down to her knees and placed her hands on either side of Ruby’s swollen belly, kissing both of the girls in her wife tenderly. “You girls had better be treating your mother well. We can’t be having little troublemaker’s around.” she chuckled, placing her forehead on Ruby’s belly as the girls kicked.
The pair stayed as they were for a long while, with Ruby running her hands through Zephyrine’s soft hair as the girls inside her belly rolled and kicked. Ruby paled as the smoke alarm in the kitchen started going off. She pushed Zephyrine away from her roughly and dashed into the kitchen as quickly as she could manage. Zephyrine yelped in surprise and got up, giggling as she took off after her lover. Ruby was standing in the middle of the kitchen fanning at the dinner she had been cooking, tears streaming down her face.
Zephyrine took the smoke alarm down and pulled the batteries out, to stop the noise. She opened the windows to get rid of the smoke, and started fanning the smoke out the windows. When all the smoke was gone, Ruby dropped to the ground, tears still rolling down her face. Zephyrine dropped to the floor, leaning against the cabinets and pulling her lover against her body.
She rubbed her back gently, leaning down to lick up her tears and clean her face, like a cat would. “Baby, it’s okay. It’s okay, shhh… It’s okay.” she cooed, holding her against her body and trying to calm her down.
Ruby tried to speak through her sobbing, but Zeph just chuckled softly, licking up the tears that continued to fall. “It’s okay, baby. It’s alright. Shh, shh, it’s okay.” she continued. The sobbing subsided to mere whimpers as Ruby kept trying to explain. “I j-just wanted to make you happy..!” Ruby sobbed loudly, burying her face in Zephyrine’s breasts.
“Oh, baby doll, you do make me happy. We wouldn’t still be together if you didn’t!” she chuckled as she explained, rubbing the woman’s back gently. Zeph scrunched her nose a bit, sticking her tongue out. “What exactly were you trying to cook, darling?” she tilted her head, the smell almost making her eyes tear up.
“I..” Ruby started, gripping on the fire fox a bit rough. “I was trying to cook a meal from your homeland… I wanted to surprise you by cooking it for you…” she admitted, hiding her face in Zeph’s breasts, her tears making her white shirt see-through.
Zephyrine lifted Ruby’s face so she could look her right in the eyes, her own swirling red and purple staring into Ruby’s beautiful purple. “Ruby Tojou. I have never eaten any of the food from my homeland…” she explained. “My whole family was killed before I could try any of it.” she smiled warmly at the woman, to show her that while she had lost both her parents and her only sister, she was okay.
“You could have just cooked something from your Mistress.” she said softly. She leaned down to kiss the woman, tenderly. “Or you didn’t have to cook at all. I am pleased to just spend time with you.” she smiled, showing the witch her fangs. “We both have the day off. Come with me.” she squirmed a bit and got out from under her wife and helped the woman up, tugging her close.
“Come here, beautiful.” she smiled as she lifted the woman in a newlywed-over-the-threshold-position and carried her into the living room, where she placed her onto the couch. She leaned down to kiss Ruby’s forehead and pulled away reluctantly. “Stay here, okay?” she softly ordered as she went back into the kitchen to clean up the mess from the… Whatever Ruby had tried to make.
She wasn’t even sure what it was. She had never seen the dish before. Hell, she didn’t remember most of her homeland. She finished cleaning quickly and brought a bowl of ice cream into the living room with her. “Here, Ruby.” she handed her the bowl as she took her place at the other end of the couch and rubbed her hands together, forcing fire to roll beneath her skin and make her hands quite warm and relaxing to the touch.
She reached down and grabbed Ruby’s swollen feet, rubbing each one with her warmed hands, smiling lovingly at her beautiful lover. “Ruby?” she called softly, rubbing the base of her toes a bit rough, to relax the knots. “I love you.” she stated, softly, almost inaudibly. She wasn’t sure why she was embarrassed about saying it today. She had no trouble saying it at any other time.
Zephyrine cleared her throat a bit too loud, but kept rubbing her wife’s sore feet. Ruby groaned, spreading her toes as Zeph rubbed, the heat from her hands rolling up her body. Her moan was muffled by the ice cream in her mouth. Zeph kept rubbing for a little while, and then looked over at Ruby. “Hey. I have a surprise for you.” she released her feet and got up, going into the other room, where she rummaged through some drawers and cursed a few times, before she found what she was looking for.
“Ah. Here we go.” she murmured as she walked back into the living room, holding a rugged looking velvet box. The red-eyed vixen dropped to her knees next her beautiful girlfriend and held the box up for her. “It’s..” she shook her head, clearing the tears from her eyes. She smiled warmly and chuckled once, almost forlorn. “The Mistress gave this to me many years ago. She told me that I had to save it for whomever I picked as my life-mate.”
Zephyrine blushed a bit as she looked away quickly. “I think it’s a bit unworthy, but Mistress was very insistant that you would love it.” Zeph held the box for Ruby to take, and when she did to open it, tears fell from her eyes once more. “Oh, Zephyine… It’s beautiful…” her mouth wouldn’t form anymore words, but she kept crying in joy.
“Mistress had wanted to give it to you herself at our wedding.” Zeph confided as Ruby pulled the beautiful amber and silver necklace out of the box. “If you don’t like it, I can get you something else. I mean..” she blushed a bit hard. “Ah, I’m really no good at this.” She cleared her throat. “You don’t have to wear it, or even keep it if you don’t want to. I wasn’t even sure I should have given it to you.” she admitted, rambling now.
Furrowing her eyebrows, she shook her head and tousled her hair. “Ah.. In any case..” she sighed a bit hard, leaning over to kiss Ruby delicately.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, Ruby. I love you.”
