Drabble: Friends with Benefits 2
I'm so sleeppyyyy from studying... zzzz..... hopefully this really fast drabble will kick my brain into gear....
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Daine's face burned and Numair had never seen her quite so... cute. Her eyelashes were lowered to cover her embarassed expression, a blush decorated her cheekbones, and she gnawed on her lower lip. She peeked at him in this "oh my goodness, help me" look and he covered his hand with hers, soothingly rubbing his thumb over her knuckles. He could feel her hand tensed when he did that and could tell that he was going to get quite a scolding when they went out of the restaurant.
Numair and Raoul paid the bill despite Daine's protest which was subdued by Buri's whack of, "hey, don't ruin the market for the rest of us girls. let them spoil us!". Numair entwined his hand in Daine's for three purposes - first, he liked it. second, to stop her from running away. third, to stop her from slapping or hitting him with that hand.
Sure enough, when Raoul was out of earshot with Buri, Daine hissed, "Girlfriend? You told them I was your girlfriend?"
Numair raised his eyebrow, "What did you expect me to say when they came across us eating dinner in a French restaurant and joined us? Especially when I was nibbling on your knuckles. That you are my 'friend with benefits'?"
Daine went completely red, redder than she had in the restaurant. "Well, you're misleading them." Numair jerked Daine against him, wrapped his other arm around her and squeezed, "You're such a worrywort."
"Am not," Daine mumbled against his chest, but he felt her slowly relax and lean against him. He smiled, unseen and knew he had won this round.

Muwahahahaha, first comment! It was so short! Just kidding, it was fine. I like where this one is going. I can't wait to see the next update!
They're so cute. and Daine's so stubborn. Hehe, loved it.
Yay! fluff! I know it's hard to get in when you're writing fics where they haven't gotten together yet, but I do love it when you can. Maybe we can have some more in the next installmant?
Yes annonymous! This is probably my first REAL drabblely-length drabble. I realise my drabbles can be rather long. hahahhaha
Upon reflection, you're right Starling rising, there's not much fics on when Daine and Numair are already together!
Though they are not confirmed in this fic as Numair is happily trying to snare Daine into a proper relationship before she realises what is happening. This is sort of a reflection of Numair's quote in Wild Magic along the lines that if you want to get close to a deer (i.e. Daine), you have to be quiet and not make sudden noises to scare it off. *giggles*
