asking frank "would you still love me if i was a worm"
he looks at you like "ma'am what the..."
he definitely knows this is something you found on social media. he debates giving a legit answer, probably something about stepping on you, or saying something sweet.
he decides to go with, "do i know the worm is you?"
you laugh, sit yourself on his lap, and say, "yeah, like, i turned into a worm right now."
frank smiles at you, watches your face as you draw circles on his chest. "well i'd find a way to turn you back."
"but i wouldn't mind being a worm," you respond thoughtfully. "they don't have responsibilities."
his hand comes up to cover yours, and he raises your hand to his lips, where he presses a kiss.
"it's a stupid ass question," frank murmurs, his lips moving against your palm.
"i'd love you if you were a worm," you say with full confidence. "i'd put you in my pocket. and i'd get you perfect compost. i'll turn a corner of the house into- into whatever habitat worms like most."
"a corner is like a mansion to a worm! and don't turn the tables on me. what if i was the worm?"
"i'd use you as fish bait."
your jaw drops as you move your head out from under his chin. "fish bait?"
he laughs and reaches for your face, trying to pull you back close to him. "just kiddin', baby, i'm just kiddin'. course i'd love you. there are things much worse than worms. i'd even love ya if you turned into a, i don't know, mosquito or some shit."
you narrow your eyes at him in playful anger. he raises his eyebrows.
"you wouldn't want to be a worm," frank pulls you closer until your noses touch, "how would i do this, hm?" and he kisses you, oh so gently, his hands on your waist holding you like glass.
he can feel your giggle bubbling in your abdomen as he chases your lips when you pull away slowly.
"fine," you laugh, "you're forgiven."
"mhm," he says proudly. he kisses your forehead and whispers, "and i'd give you more than just a corner of the house."
"would i have to tell people my partner is a worm though?"
