Here’s belated birthday fic for @dilicous. Sorry it’s late!
“You’re a couple minutes late today.”
Her tone was teasing, so Sylvester’s anxiety at being late evaporated - some. “There was a bit of a scuffle on the bus. I predictably was not involved.”
Megan giggled. “Still, I’m glad you are here in one piece. Those bus scuffles, man, they can be...”
“You stop making fun of me,” Sylvester said, coming over to the bed and leaning over her, a hand on the mattress on either side of her body, and she twisted onto her side as he leaned down and kissed her on the cheek, her giggles filling the room. After a moment, she rolled slowly back onto her back, smiling up at him. “I made you something.”
“Oh yeah?” He smiled affectionately. “What might that be?”
“Let me up,” she said, grinning, her lower lip tucked under, “and I might tell you. Or show you, rather.”
Sylvester settled on the edge of the bed, a hand resting on her ankle as she reached behind her bed and pulled out a tube. She extended it, offering it to him.
Sylvester took it hesitantly, smiling at her excited grin. “It’s a poster?” He popped the end and slid out what was inside. Megan’s eyes lit up in anticipation as he unrolled it to see Super Fun Guy in acrylic paint. At first glance it looked flawless; at a closer examination he noticed the signs that it was created by someone with a slightly shaky hand. He looked up at her, knowing the answer to his question by her expression. “Did you do this?”
She nodded. He stood up, leaning over her again and kissing her, gently but soundly, on the lips. “I love it, Meg.”
