Title: Necessary Sacrifices
Fandom: Spice And Wolf
Character/Pairing: Holo, Lawrence, and horrible horrible UST. :P
Summary: At the rate she was going, they'd be better off married.
Author's Notes: My life kind of disappeared. Sorry. D:
“No.”
“Yes.”
“Are you insane? With all the debt we’re in, you’re still pushing me?”

He knew far in advance that it was hopeless to argue, but for just once in his time traveling with the goddess, he wants to be paid some respect. If it means putting up a fight that was doomed from the start, then so be it.
“Because they’re things that I need,” he says simply, hoping that it will put some thought into her head for a change.
“And I don’t need clothes?”
“You don’t need clothes that cost this much!”
She raises an eyebrow, and he doesn’t like the look she’s giving him. “Oh? Would you rather I go naked, then?”
It’s not really what she’s saying, but how she’s saying it; half serious, half playful. He knows exactly how he’s looking right now, and no matter what he says, he won’t be able to prevent her teasing and insults.
And there’s no way he’d ever admit that he’d like the view.
So he sighs and gives in, the monetary cost paling in comparison to the wound on his pride.
