Alix and Kim One Shots

Sapphire Charm

A nutty banana bread smell filled the air as Kim pulled the loath out of the oven. Steam curled from the golden-brown shining crust as he placed it on the stove.

"That smells good," Alix said from the kitchen island, where she worked on a translation of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. He didn't know how she was able to do that, but she knew how to do it.

"Hopefully it tastes as good as it smells," Kim said, wiping his hands off.

"I'm sure it will," Alix said without looking up. Her tongue stuck out as she focused on the report.

"I can taste it," Xuppu said, as she dove towards the pan. Kim grabbed her out of the air.

"Come on," she whined.

"It's too hot," Kim said, as he let her go. She stuck her tongue out, and he did the same.

"I'm going to grab something from the room," Kim said as he walked out of the kitchen.

"Okay," Alix said, letting her hand brush against his arm as he left.

He walked into the darkroom and flipped on the light, revealing a room with pale green walls and different sized clothes scattered across the floor. He went over to the nightstand on his side of the bed. He pulled out a small jewelry box that held a necklace with a sapphire charm. It was a gift that he had planned on giving her on their honeymoon later that month, but he couldn't help it. The charm reminded him of her deep blue sapphire eyes. He walked out of the room and up to the tiny love of his life. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind.

"What are you doing?" Alix with a smile on her face. She placed her pen on the island and placed her hands on his arms.

"Just hugging my future wife," Kim said, as he nosed her hair.

"You're pressing something into my neck," Alix said.

"Crap, sorry," Kim said, as he jerked back. She turned around on the stool.

"It's alright," Alix said with a laugh, as Kim checked her neck. He let out a hiss, seeing the red mark on her neck.

"I'm so sorry," Kim said. He didn't mean to do that. He would never hurt her.

"It's okay," Alix said, cupping his chin.

"Are you sure?" Kim asked.

"Yes," Alix said, as she pressed her head against his. She kissed his top lip.

"I love you," Kim said.

"Love you too," Alix said. Gosh, she was amazing. He held the back of her head and kissed her nose. Then her lips.

"So, what's in the box?" Alix asked.

"Well," Kim said, as he leaned back, "I was going to give this to you on our wedding night, but I'm a bit impatient."

"A bit?" Alix asked, raising her brow.

"Okay, really impatient," Kim laughed, "Could you close your eyes?"

"Alright," Alix said, closing her sapphire eyes. He opened the box and placed the chain around her neck. His hand trailed across her skin and up to her chin, placing a slow, soft kiss on her lips.

"Can I open my eyes now?" Alix asked.

"Maybe," Kim said, as he pecked her lips.

"Kim!" Alix said, as she tried to push his shoulder, but missed, hitting his ear.

"I think you missed," Kim said, rubbing his ear. It didn't hurt, but he blushed. She stuck out her tongue. She was so cute.

"You can open them," Kim said with a smile. She opened her shining sapphire eyes, as her hands trailed along the chain until she reached the charm. Her eyes widened, cupping it in her hands.

"Kim. It's beautiful," Alix said, "Thank you." A glistening smile grew across her face.

"It's a little sapphire for my little sapphire," Kim said, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"You're a dork," Alix laughed, as she pulled him closer.

"I'm your dork," Kim said, "Xuppu."

"What?" Alix asked, turning around. Xuppu held onto a few curved ice cubes, as she hovered over the pile of ice on the stove around the banana nut bread pan.

"You said that it had to cool off before we could eat it," Xuppu said with a toothy grin.

Kim and Alix started to laugh at the tiny monkey.
