Okay, Ive never been an amazing writer, but uhh here goes! --------------------------------------------------------
"fiddlesticks"
Equius muttered to himself as he continued down the winding road, he feared at this rate they would surely be delayed from their destination by at least another half hour. Oh how he hated driving the company vehicles, they were so... Inefficient. Keeping his brow furrowed, he trod on the gas peddle with a bit more pressure. He really had a distain for being late, Nepeta had told him many times that his days at the office had worn in to his personal habits and that the rather tight assed "being on time" habit, was one of the many habits he had learned to pick up over the years. Oh Nepeta, she had always reminded him of how much of a stick in the mud he was. Yet she refused to leave his side, always being there for him. Even after all these years. Equius looked over at his moirail, who lay sprawled out in rather ungraceful fashion in the passenger seat. Her feet up on the dash, one hand curled around a cluster of papers, the other providing a rest for her chin. He leaned over, eyes still on the road, and whispered
"Nepeta, are you awake?"
Nepeta let out a large yawn, flexing her whole body along with it. She turned her cat-like eyes toward Equius to unleash a wave of stare-daggers, for a 'cutesy cat girl' she certainly was fierce and unnerving at times.
"Well I am awake now, this better be impurrtant" she mumbled, her voice ridden with a sleepy stupor
"Oh, sorry, did I interrupt your catnap?"
"Yes"
"Oh... Sorry, never mind then. It's nothing"
Nepeta let out a huff, now she knew that nothing was a something. Shaking her head, and putting down the clenched papers she sat herself back upright and turned to look at Equius.
"Hey, look I'm sorry, you know how I get when I just wake up"
"It is always rather, unpleasant and a tad fear-inducing, I assure you"
"Well you snore, and you're a moist sleeper. You sweat, AND drool"
"I do no such thing"
"Do too"
"Do not"
"Do too!"
Nepeta let out a series of giggles, and Equius couldn't help but crack a smile. These little moments of silliness were always a treat to have, and what with all the busy days at the office, they seemed harder to come across. Oh but when they did come across them, even for a second, it was nothing but pure bliss. Equius let out a hearty sigh, but before he could put in a rebuttal of sorts, Nepeta managed to butt in before him.
"Now, tell me Mr.Zahhak, what seems to be on your mind? More about your weirdo crush on that lowblood in the eastern office district? You do know that your crushes tend to... well, crush you in turn"
Slightly blushing at the thought of the lowblood, shaking his head he replied
"No, no, none of that"
"Then what is it?"
"I just wanted to say, well, thank you"
Nepeta sat there with a slightly puzzled look on her face. As if she was about to ask, why he was thanking her. There seemed to be a rather long pause, with a moment of realization, another smile and a giggle she responded
"Thats what I'm here fur"
With smiles on both their faces, they continued to drive in silence. Not because there was no more to say, but because there was nothing that needed to be said. They both knew what the other was thinking, and what the other had meant, and their STRONG moirallegiance was solid proof of that. But the silence would only last so long, as Nepeta spotted a drive by restaurant up ahead, and the friendly bickering, and food related shenanigans began. No towel, or napkin was safe.
----------------------------------------- Ahh, I hope that was okay. It kinda turned in to a bit of a human-ish workplace AU type thing. They're on a roadtrip to a conference meeting in some remote area idk. I hope you liked it :>
