piggyback : my muse jumps on your muses back, my muse gives yours a piggyback ride. (let him give her a piggyback ride 😤 )
His arms are looped loosely around her neck as he presses against her back, the two of them wedged onto a single bleacher as she wiggles her feet free of her skates, pulling black leg warmers over her feet and then up to her knees. “Pat, can you —?” But he’s already handing her her boots, his smile buried in her cheek. “Thank you.” Socked feet slip in easily with two quiet pops, slim fingers working quickly at her laces. “I was thinking we could go to Grouchy’s after this? Get some coffee, maybe some pastries, head back to my place?” All of this is a ploy to get him curled up with her on the couch, Ciri cold from her frappe and using it as an excuse to curl between his legs and up under his chin.
𝑬𝒙𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒔, 𝒆𝒙𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝑪𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒂.
She stands, joints popping as she stretches her arms over her head, fingers laced tightly. Her duffle is suddenly looped over her shoulder, Patrick having tucked her skates in the bag already. “Aren’t you just a dream?” His fingers tickle as the backs of her knees as he rounds the bleacher, smile sweet as sugar as she laughs. “C’mon, let’s go h — 𝙋𝘼𝙏𝙍𝙄𝘾𝙆 𝙑𝙀𝙍𝙊𝙉𝘼 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙋𝙐𝙏 𝙈𝙀 𝘿𝙊𝙒𝙉 𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙎 𝙄𝙉𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙉𝙏!” Ciri squeals as he lifts her up over the bleacher, his arms tight across the backs of her thighs as he starts off toward the doors. She kicks futilely at his shins, smiling victoriously when she’s placed on her feet. “I will not be hauled around like some sack of potatoes you found on the street.” Her smirk is wicked sharp, glinting silver like a knife if you look close enough. “Kneel for your queen — I wish for a piggyback ride and I will not take no for an answer.” Her accent comes out a bit thicker as she turns her nose up, arms crossed over her chest even as a grin settles at the corners of her mouth.
He crouches before her, grinning like the cheeky bastard he is even when he lets out an oomph!, having to brace himself against the weight of her gear. Nonetheless, he persists, hands curling beneath her knees as he bounces her up a bit higher, the pair of them reveling in her laughter as it rings out like bells in the early morning. The relief from not putting weight on her feet is heavenly, transcendent as he carries her out to the car whilst telling her about his day. Her cheek presses to auburn curls as she listens, the timbre of his voice reverberating through her chest nearly lulling her to sleep. The smell of his cigarettes clings to his clothes and Ciri briefly considers rooting around his pockets for his pack before deciding against it, burrowing further into his warmth. “Missed you today, Patty.”
