I have no idea what kind of prompts you're after, but how about a one-shot of Jenny dragging Giles to a date at a roller skating rink? Just something short + fluffy to celebrate being semi-stress free!
oh this is PERFECT. thank you so much
“No,” said Rupert. “You have pushed me far beyond my limits, Jenny, and I draw the line right here.” But he was using that voice he’d used at the monster trucks, all playfully-stiff-upper-lip and helplessly shining eyes, and Jenny knew it was because he knew this was something she loved. “Right here–” He gestured, slipped on the waxed floors, and had to grab at Jenny to steady himself, his hand landing a bit lower than her lower back.
Jenny didn’t mind. Jenny opposite-of-minded, actually, they’d just saved the goddamn world and a little PDA felt really fucking appropriate at the moment. She tugged at his belt loop until he collided with her, all but knocking her into the wall. God, he was so cute when he was off balance (figuratively or literally, in this case). “You’re telling me you don’t like my roller derby short-shorts?” she asked coquettishly.
Rupert rolled his eyes. “Fishing for compliments, now, are we?”
“I’m shameless and insatiable.” Jenny raised a leg, wrapping it around Rupert’s waist, and thank god for dancer’s training and natural flexibility, if only to get That Look on her husband’s face. “Besides which, you haven’t seen my moves.”
“Five years with you and you think I’ve not gotten a handle on your moves?” Rupert’s hands were steady and confident on her waist, which did lend some legitimacy to his point. When they first started dating, he’d be weak in the knees if she so much as brushed her hand against his, and now–well. Now he had her pressed against the wall of a roller derby link, and damn, how the hell had he ended up with all the leverage in this situation? “You think so little of me, my darling.”
“You set the bar pretty low, that first date.”
“That was hardly a date, that was Willow and Xander and a truly atrocious American football game.”
Rupert opened his mouth, shut it, rolled his eyes, and cupped Jenny’s face in his hands, kissing her with that dizzying finesse that never failed to make her weak in the knees. Jenny’s leg dropped from his waist and she melted into him, but just as the kiss was getting good, he pulled back very fast, startling her enough to make her lose her balance. Roller skates zigzagging, she grabbed at the wall, outraged. “You don’t play fair!” she managed, wiping a hand across her mouth and definitely smearing her lipstick.
“When have I ever?” said Rupert, attempted to skate gracefully away, and nearly fell down himself. Jenny skated forward in what really was a graceful maneuver and caught him in her arms. “Thank you, dear,” he said, looking a bit embarrassed.
“I’ve got you,” said Jenny, mouth twitching. “Slow steps.”
“Oh, shut it,” said Rupert, and kissed her on the cheek.
