First of all, I’m in love with you. Come off anon and marry me damnit. Thank you so much, any time someone compliments me, I melt into a happy puddle. Second, I will always write fenaelin, I love these two mischievous idiots. I hope you enjoy the fluff <3

Carding her fingers through his hair, Aelin tugged until Fenrys knew she was irritated at him. 

“We’re going to be late because of you.”

Fenrys tried to throw a crooked grin back at his girlfriend but she yanked on his hair until he faced forward again. “Ow! That hurt, Ace. What did I ever do to you?”

Silent while she separated his hair into pieces, Aelin didn’t speak until she had started threading them together. “You’re making us late to a fancy dinner at which I am supposed to meet your parents, you idiot.” Her fingers flew, braiding his hair with a speed he still didn’t have.

“I think I’ll blame you, though. After all, it took you forever to do your own hair- OW!” Aelin tugged on his golden locks again for good measure and it stung, though he protested louder than necessary in the hopes that it would help soothe her. 

“Don’t tease me right now! I’m nervous enough as it is.” He heard the tremble in her voice but he waited to speak until she tied off the end of his braid. When she let it fall, he turned so that he was kneeling in front of her, between her legs with his hands framing her face. 

“They’re going to love you, Aelin. You don’t need to worry about that.”

Sighing, Aelin covered his hands with hers, wrapping her fingers around his wrists and leaning into him until their foreheads were pressed together. Her breaths slowed as she calmed herself with his warmth. “Are you sure, Fen? It took awhile for Connall to warm up to me and gods know I’m an absolute mess.”

“Yeah, but you’re my mess.” Aelin choked out a laugh and he grinned at her before he went on. “It takes Connall awhile to warm up to anyone - and you were actually a bit of a record for him. But my parents take after me, so they’ll love you at first sight. Just like I did.” 

When she opened her eyes, the turquoise and gold hues were bright with unshed tears. Fenrys pressed a soft kiss to her lips, lingering until the tears disappeared and his lips were smeared red. She shot him a much happier smile and she swiped at the lipstick with her thumb. 

Satisfied, Fenrys stood and caught her hands to pull her up against him. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he kept her close for a little longer, uncaring of the time that went by. Aelin was more important than meeting his parents on time. Besides, he’d take the blame, no matter what he told Aelin. 

Dropping a kiss on the bare skin of her shoulder, Fenrys finally pulled back. “Ready, love?”

Aelin nodded, her expression adorably determined. Fenrys fell in love with her a little more every time she wore that look. She was the one who tugged him towards the door, snatching her purse and twining their fingers together before she shot him a mischievous look over her shoulder. 

“By the way, the lipstick matches your hair.”

Confused, Fenrys patted at his braid. He caught a glimpse in their hallway mirror and saw that, despite her nerves and their time limit, she had still managed to weave a ribbon into his braid - red, of course. 

If she was trying to embarrass him, she had failed because it did look good on him - and he would have worn anything to hear her laugh like she was now.
