Prompt: Chocolate

AN: expanded on the 1-sentence prompt for chocolate

Z'neth sighed quietly, his eyes darting to the small bowl of chocolates that Ilona kept on her desk and then up at his wife. They had been having the same argument for hours now and it was starting to get annoying. Okay, he honestly could understand the fact that she really didn't want to go to that party that one of the other dragonators was hosting [especially since said female dragonator had been claiming he was her boyfriend - even if it was common knowledge that Z'neth and Ilona had some sort of relationship that no-one quite knew how to define]. He sighed and knowing he was risking her irritation, quietly popped one of the chocolates in her mouth.

Ilona merely glared at him as she quietly at the chocolate. Did he really have to exploit her weakness for chocolate in order to win the argument?

"Now that I can get a word in edgewise," he said, knowing he'd be sleeping on the sofa for that. "I was trying to tell you that we were not attending the party," he said. "I rather have a quiet night in with my wife then attend a party where I had to dodge Miss Grabby Hands."

Ilona swallowed the chocolate and looked at him. "Why didn't you just say that in the first place instead of drawing it out?" she huffed.

Prompt: Return

AN: And of course, my first reaction at seeing "return" is "Return my love" from "What's Opera, Doc?" [May Z'neth/Ilona forgive me for this one]

Ilona tugged the skirt to her costume and gave Z'neth a long suffering look, clearly unamused about how easily they were talked into doing this, whatever this was, by Peak. "Remind me how we got talked into this?" she asked, allowing him to braid her long hair into the signature look of a Valkyrie.

"Peak gave us the eyes that we're weak against," he said. He smiled at his girlfriend and gently tugged on a braid.

"Don't forget your spear and magic helmet," she teased.

"Spear and magic helmet?" he answered, laughing as they walked.

"Oh, don't start," she laughed, curling up next to him.

-

Peak shifted in his seat, clearly eager for this part. Oh, sure, he had a feeling Z would be annoyed with him for making him sing, but well, damn it, he was damn tired of his brother being a snail.

"Return my love, a longing burns deep inside me," Z'neth sang. How he got talked into doing this little skit for the children, he'd never know - especially since he wasn't quite sure how Peak had gotten involved. Hopefully the rest of the dragonators weren't here to hear him singing.

"Return my love, I want you always beside me," Ilona answered, blushing shyly as she sang. Her voice wasn't as strong as his but it was rather pretty.

"Love like ours must be."

"Made for you and for me."

Z'neth had been approaching her the entire time and pulled her into his arms. "Return, won't you return my love. All my love is yours!" he sang, his voice blending with hers. He stared deeply into her eyes and promptly kissed her.

Peak glanced over at Nora. "Finally," he breathed.
