Charloft 100 word cupid challenge
Two from me and one from kidcyclone, all under 100 apiece and linked!
Spike, full-time professional thorn in everybody’s side, usually avoids defenestration thanks to Wills’s devotion to Arthur. Wills ignores rude remarks, rude finger gestures, rude noises; a general rudeness campaign. The trouble is, ignoring Spike only makes him think you’re a bit dim, so he must have to try harder to be ruder. Spike’s currently decided, apparently in honor of Valentine’s, to make everybody squirm with a most un-British display of public affection. Wills ignores the would-be Casanova for the first twenty minutes of his and Dru’s “world’s longest, sloppiest French kiss” record attempt, then tips the champagne over Spike’s head.

“It’s a sign of my devotion to you that these events don’t always end in tears,” Wills snarls, when they arrive home. He’s picking shards of bottle out of his hair, courtesy of Spike.
“I know,” Arthur says, but he can’t help smiling a bit. “I’ve already counted it as part of my Valentines’ present that you didn’t throw that bust of Caesar at him when he threatened to feed you his briefs.”

“I have to say, it’s lovely to be home. Of course, it would be lovelier if this bastard wine wasn’t sealed so tightly - there it is.” Wills uncorks the dusty bottle. “Pass me a glass, sweetheart, unless you want to drink out of the bottle, like a bohemian.”
Arthur snorts, passing the glasses. “No, thank you. If we were going Boho, we’d have to sit about in our vests listening to scratchy old folk music, and even for true love, that’s pushing it.”
“Just vests? You mean, remove my trous? You didn’t even have to ask. My pleasure, actually.”
