Fic: Kittens and Horses - Secret Santa gift for thymelady 2009
It was a late evening when Guy walked beside Marian in the deep snow back to the castle from the stables after their nightfall ride. The conversation they had shared within the hour had taken its turn into an argument from what Guy noticed. He raised his eyebrow when Marian went through her believes once again.
“But you can’t be all serious about that…” he said as they crossed the courtyard.
Marian glanced at him. “I mean it, Guy.” She sounded very serious at this point. Guy straightened a little sceptical.
“I cannot agree with you.” he said strongly and sighed. Marian turned her head towards him and glared at him with her mouth half open.
“What? You must be teasing me… I know you’re not serious.”
“Actually, I am deadly serious.” he said and avoided Marian’s look.
“But… kittens are much cuter than horses.” she said as they neared the castle gate.
Guy sighed again and observed her a little. “Maybe, but horses are more beautiful than… cats.” he said and held the castle door open to her. She went inside sort of dramatically and headed towards the stairs leading to the kitchen.
“Horses are good. But when kittens…” Marian began - smiling. “When kittens grow up - they become beautiful, charming creatures.” she said with a cheeky smile and walked down the stairs with Guy not far behind her.
Guy snarled. “Beautiful, charming creatures?” he asked with raised eyebrows. “They grow up to be monsters. I have seen your cat. And he is not very nice…” Guy said and looked away from her as they came down to the empty kitchen. All the servants and cooks had finished for the day.
Marian turned to him. “You mean Mr. Tight-leather-pants? Oh no! He is a wonderful cat and he loves you.” she said and entered the kitchen. Guy followed her.
“What does that name mean anyway?” he asked and leaned against one of the tables.
A giggle rose in Marian’s throat and she smiled. “Trust me, you don’t want to know.”
“Very well.” Guy said. “But still, you have a horse. Isn’t your horse a much better friend to you than your fat cat?”
“I like horses, Guy. But I like cats more. Can’t we just leave it at that?” she asked and looked at him. He was still leaning against the wooden table.
“Fine.” he said. “But I don’t think Mr. Tight-leather-pants loves me at all…”
Marian walked over to the table and sat down next to him. “Why do you say that?” she asked softly.
“If he loves me - then why does he always like pushes me away when I enter your room?”
“Pushes you away? How do you mean?” Marian asked a little confused.
“Whenever I enter your room… he comes over to me and like walks around me and then he always pushes against me with his head, and sometimes with his side…” Guy said annoyed and sat down on the chair.
Marian sat quiet, just looking at the man next to her. She didn’t blink until Guy said her name a few minutes later.
“Guy, that’s what cats do. And he is not pushing you away… That’s how cats say hello and show that they like the person…” she said calmly before smiling at Guy’s blushing cheeks. She laughed quietly when Guy looked away like he’d know that was how cats acted.
Guy rose from the chair and walked around the empty room for a while before he walked back to Marian. He smirked. “We are all alone…” he whispered.
Marian smiled and gave him a curious look. “Really? And what do you want to do then?” she asked and put her arms around his neck.
“Start undressing and I’ll tell you…” he groaned deeply and began to undo his leather jacket.
Marian obeyed slowly and then sat down on the edge of the table. “What if someone sees us?” she asked unsure.
“There’s no one here… I promise.” Guy smiled and bent down and kissed her on the lips, deeply and passionately. Marian quickly helped him untie his leather trousers before she lay down on the table. Guy covered her with himself not long after and kissed her across her chest before he entered her.
“G-Guuuyy….” Marian moaned in his ear. “I… I think I - heard… sooomething…” she breathed out.
Guy stared at her while breathing deep as he made the movements quicker. “No… Don’t worry… There’s no one - here.” he said and kissed her one more time.
A few minutes later - Marian turned her head when she saw a shadow flying by. “GUY!” she shouted.
Guy quickly turned his head towards the other side of the table and stared into a pair of green eyes. Both Guy and Marian got taken by surprise and rolled off the table. Their naked bodies hit the ice-cold stone floor and when Guy quickly tried to rise he hit his head in the table.
He kept the pain within himself as he slowly and carefully looked over the edge of the table to see who was watching them on the other side. When he saw who it was he closed his eyes and groaned, and slid down on the floor again next to Marian.
Guy and Marian watched the fluffy four-legged animal jump down from the table and stroll towards the stairs and soon disappear.
Guy sighed and turned his head to Marian who started giggling. “I hate that cat.” he said and closed his eyes.
