Something I wrote in a Discord chat with @blurrymango. It's something old from... a month ago imao
Melodie is an adult and a little drunk, her boyfriend helps her while she asks him why he loved her.
"Why did you make me your girlfriend so young? I don't understand..."
"Because I wanted to protect you, you know, from broken hearts and everything the world is full of.
"I can take care of myself... Dad taught me."
"The same man who didn't have the courage to come looking for you and your mother when he was barely out of prison?"
"Yeah... That bastard... *Hiccup... I hate him. But I hate you more for thinking you're a hero."
"Honey..." He walks over to her and strokes her hair. "You're too strong to do it all alone, but that much strength needs help when you're hurt, okay?"
"I didn't do anything I hadn't thought of before. You could have left me when you thought your heart was going to someone else, but it wasn't like that. You decided to stay with me, and here we are, just a few months away from getting married" He begins to take off her shirt and bra, trying to put on a more comfortable shirt.
"And you don't regret it, do you? You love me as much as I have since you came into my life, right?"
She bobs her head up and down, looking at him with those drunken eyes.
"Then the question wouldn't be why you've been my girlfriend since you were 7," he clarifies, kissing her forehead after removing her jeans, "but why you didn't think of someone else."
"Maybe because I love you... Or I don't know."
"What don't you know, Melz?"
"I get butterflies in my stomach every time you're around. You're such a gentleman, thoughtful, polite... Idiot... As if knights weren't dead"
"Because you're a queen..." He takes her hand and kisses the back of it. "And I couldn't hurt Your Majesty."
"I'm not a queen, I'm a woman... With sickly green skin and ugly hair"
He hugs her and kisses her nose.
"Who's lying to you so much? You're so beautiful, everything about you is so pretty"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"When you ate my strawberry cake and said you were my father" Her drunkenness didn't allow her to properly show her anger; she just babbled.
"But that was months ago, and it was just a cake. Not you"
"What if I were that cake? Would you eat me and blame someone else?"
("You don't have to be a cake for me to bite you, Melodie")
"No. Because you're my girlfriend, and the most beautiful woman in the world"
"You're lying again! Stop lying to me and show me the truth, Frank Smith!"
He kisses her once. She seems unsure of his answer.
He kisses her again, and her reaction is the same. Again and again until Mel was on top of him, letting him hold her and kiss her as he pleased.
He loves his future wife, even if she's a little drunk.
