She didn't have a clue what had brought this on, but the hysteria of seeing that clothing and imagining Arthur in it had really made her feel giddy. And that was how she found herself in one of the many rooms downstairs, curled up in little cupboard. And when she said little, she really meant little. Her legs were crushed against her chest and her head bent down, her spine curling completely to keep her small. She was lucky her height wasn't all that big anyway, she could fit in here better than most probably could. Putting her hand to her mouth, she tried to stop the laughter, keeping her eye on the PDA in case he said anything else.

Arthur tread down the stairs, trying to grasp the rough wood of the walls as he went, afraid of slipping and falling in the damn shoes he had put on. Whoever thought men needed to dress more like a woman was a complete moron. His feet were already screaming and he hadn't been in the things for more than a few minutes.

He paused when he reached the bottom, listening for any sound that wasn't naturally occurring. Fabric rustling, someone giggling, the creek of the floorboards. He turned and headed toward the back of the house before halting again, straining for noises and then he heard it. Smirking in self-satisfaction, he toed off his shoes and nudged them out of the way before moving silently on stockinged feet toward the slight scratch of fabric on wood.

She could hear distant creeking and wondered if it was just, as he said, the wind making the house creek. She pushed on her mouth more to try and stop the laughter, and the sound of her breathing. Listening she heard nothing. Not a sound came and she began to feel her heart race. He was too good at this, but it was exciting her. Far too much. Biting down on her hand, she squeezed her eyes tight shut for a moment to try and prevent herself from giggling.

	It was a fairly decent sized house, he had to admit. For all the space Camelot had afforded him, this was still better than the cramped apartments from before. "Ah." Arthur breathed out in a sharp exhale before wrenching open a low cupboard where Gwen had crumpled herself. "Still doubt my superior skills?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She squealed when he opened the door, looking over at him. Exactly how did he manage so quickly? It wasn't fair. "Yes.." she said before taking him in. She promptly fell out of the cupboard, laughing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Guinevere came tumbling out at his feet, laughing. Arthur feigned irritation, folding his arms and scowling for all he was worth, before bending to grasp her by the elbow and help her to her feet. "You laugh, but you're the one who is going to be in a bonnet. I think we can safely say I won." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She let him help her up, trying to fix her night dress before she took him in again. Biting back a grin, she tried to stay focused on his ey...What was that on his head? She tried to respond to his words but found herself bent double with laughter again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Arthur whipped off his hat and set it on top of her curls with a triumphant smirk. "Bonnet, Guinevere." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futurequeen 2010-01-26 12:53 am UTC (link)
	She laughed, reaching up to steady the hat on her head. She had to admit, without the stupid hat he looked quite nice like this. "I am not wearing one of them." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You will if I force it on you." He adjusted the point until it was straight, caressing her cheek with his thumb. Her nightgown was different. He wasn't entirely shocked. "Go get dressed." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futurequeen 2010-01-26 12:57 am UTC (link)
	"You will not!" She smiled at his gesture, leaning into his caress. But when he told her to get dressed she shook her head. "Have you seen those things? Will take ages" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Arthur curled a lock of dark hair around his finger and tugged gently. "A deal's a deal. You wouldn't want to break out of a promise, would you?" He wasn't entirely certain of her intentions. "Do you need help?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futurequeen 2010-01-26 01:27 am UTC (link)
	"I remember no promise," she said, lifting her chin a little. She smiled a little at his offer. She probably would need help, those things looked to have too much to do. "If you like." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm not sure I'd be the best help." He didn't argue with her about the bonnet. He'd get her in it one way or another. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futurequeen 2010-01-26 01:41 am UTC (link)
	She shrugged before smiling up at him. He was probably right. "I'll figure it out, don't worry," she said before walking around him to head back to the bedroom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Arthur watched her climb the stairs before hurrying to where he'd discarded his shoes and then following after her. He wasn't about to let her drown in a sea of fabric. Even Morgana's gowns were less gaudy than these. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futurequeen 2010-01-27 06:29 am UTC (link)
	She turned when she heard movement, smiling a little at him before continuing her way up to the stairs. Getting to the top, she walked to their bedroom before moving to the trunk, opening it with a slight look of disgust at the gowns. "There has to be something nice in here."

	"I'm sure there is." He pulled out the one on top, tossing his shoes across the room without thought to where they landed. Shaking out the fabric he held it up for her to inspect. He deliberately hid his mouth so she couldn't see how hard he was trying not to laugh. And he had thought his clothing had been insane. "Well?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futurequeen 2010-01-27 12:58 pm UTC (link)
	She looked over as he tossed the shoes away, raising her eyebrows. He was to wear those? Grinning, she fixed the hat on her head before looking to him when he held up one of the dresses. She could practically hear his bark of laughter. "Stop it, it isn't funny. And I suppose,"she said, reaching out for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Arthur settled on a very neutral answer to her reprimand. After all, he was not the one who was going to wear a dress that billowed out at the hips and arse. What the function of that much excess was, he'd never understand. "I'm not sure I understand the appeal. I'm sure it'll look fine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futurequeen 2010-01-27 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	She kept her eyes on the dress before finding everything else that had to go with it. Exactly how long would it take to get this thing on? She'd need to spend ages doing this. "You're just saying that because you're not the one suffocating yourself in it," she said before lying everything out on the bed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eying the ever growing pile of undergarments littering the bed, Arthur began to grow seriously concerned by the amount of time this would take. He stepped up behind her, whisking off the hat and tossing it in the direction of his shoes, unconcerned as he plunged his fingers into her hair. "How about we skip dressing you for now?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futurequeen 2010-01-27 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	She was just about to start, or at least try to, when she felt Arthur move behind her. Soon the hat was being thrown from her head and his fingers were in her hair. At his question, she raised her eyebrow before moving to look at him. "Why would we do that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	a_royal_prat 2010-01-28 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	He let his fingers slide from her hair. "I'm sure you can think of a good reason why." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futurequeen 2010-01-28 09:09 pm UTC (link)
	She licked her lips, her eyes not once leaving his. "Perhaps. I just want to hear your reason." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Arthur swept her against him, bracing her against the bedframe. He dipped his forehead to nudge hers. "You're easier to touch with them off." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
