MHA #6, Wednesday Evening

[firstofitskind]

Right, so. That had certainly been a thing that had happened. The year had just gotten started, they'd been married barely a week and so of course Fandom had decided the appropriate course of action would be to make sure Verity got kidnapped. Again.

Yesterday and most of today had been lost to sleep, something that, for once, Liam had been in need of just as much as Verity. Turns out not sleeping for three nights in a row could adversely affect even those with the advantage of being partially energy-based. Plus, even if he hadn't strictly speaking needed the rest? He hadn't really felt like letting her too far out of his sight, which meant staying in bed.

Still, they had to eat, and leftovers only went so far. Takeout would've been a perfectly respectable option at this point, but cooking at least let Liam feel like he was accomplishing something. Helping. Somehow.

[ooc: for the wife, and all the SP.]

"I went with stabbing," Verity assured him.

She might have, if she'd thought it would work, but that had seemed like a pretty solid no-go.

“That’s my wife,” Liam said, no small amount of pride in his voice.

... Also he still really liked getting to say ‘my wife’ and was gonna do that obnoxiously often.

They'd only been married for a few weeks! The shiny hadn't been rubbed off yet.

"In fairness, it wasn't a particularly successful stabbing," Verity sighed.

[firstofitskind]

“I don’t think he would have strung you up over a lava pit if he didn’t believe you were a credible threat, unsuccessful stabbing or no,” Liam pointed out.

"Yeah, that was...a lot," Verity said, looking down at her coffee.

[firstofitskind]

“I can imagine.”

He didn’t have to imagine, actually. But that was so not important right now.

“What do you need?” he asked gently, reaching out to cup her cheek in one hand.

[arboreal_priestess]

"To stop getting kidnapped?" Verity said with a wry smile.

She honestly didn't know.

[firstofitskind]

"Should've put that in the resolutions, I guess," Liam said.

Not that it would have helped, he knew.

[arboreal_priestess]

"And here I spent all my resolutions on being a good wife like a chump," Verity sighed. "Instead of focusing on not getting kidnapped."
