Rule - Sweet Pea (1)

God won't forgive me for my sins

Rule stood awkwardly in front of the crowd, half naked and slightly embarrassed from the Serpent dance she'd done in place of Betty. Miraculously, Rule had managed to convince tall boy and a few other serpents to let her do the dance in Betty's place, knowing people had been talking about how she wasn't really a serpent since she never did the dance. A black serpents jacket was placed over Rule, swallowing her figure, and without looking back she knew it was Sweet Peas, a surprisingly pleasant scent of musk, pine, and cigarette smoke lingering on the leather. Sweet Pea glared at the people who booed from Rules muscular and stunning figure being covered up, sticking his middle finger in the air and ushering his girlfriend off the stage and instead behind it. "Before you yell-" Rule gets cut off when Sweet Pea yanks her into an empty room, slams her against the wall, and wraps her legs around his waist with her hands above her head.

"I'm more mad that everyone got to see those panties before I did." Sweet Pea nibbled at her neck, snapping the waistline of her underwear with his cold fingers and making Rule jump out of her skin. A knock on the door brought them from their hormone fueled daze, the door cracking open to reveal Betty holding onto Rules abandoned dress. "Uh, I um, i'm sorry to interrupt but I figured you'd be needing this." Betty stammered embarrassedly, finally entering the room. Sweet Pea places Rule on the floor, grabbing the dress from Betty, handing it to Rule, and sending her a i'll be back look before exiting the room. Quickly, Rule zipped her dress up, slipping Sweets jacket back on over it  and walking towards Betty. "Rule, i'm so sorry, you shouldn't have had to do that for me." The blonde faces the ground as she mumbles.

Rule cleared her throat, leaning against a table with a sick feeling in her stomach. "Betty," Rules voice cracked, Betty looking up to see a tiny tear rolling down her cheek "God won't forgive me for my thousands of sins, so what's to add one more?" Rule patted a purely shocked Betty on the shoulder as she went by, walking into a crowd of people and directly to the bar where Toni, Fangs, Sweet Pea, and a few other teenage serpents were pouring tequila shots. "Can I get in on this?" Rule inquires, sending a wink to Toni who knew Rule could outdrink everyone in this bar. Sweet Pea smirked at her, faltering when his eyes flickered down to the dried tear on Rules cheek. Rule subtly shakes her head, mouthing the word later and sitting on his lap at the barstool.

"You look hot in my jacket." Sweet Pea whispered, placing a kiss right behind her ear that made her eyes flutter closed. "Hope you weren't planning on getting it back." Rule teased, grabbing two shots from the counter and handing one to her boyfriend. Everyone lost count of Rules shots after fifteen, a sloppy buzzed grin on her face as she looked at Sweet Pea who'd stopped drinking tequila after three shots, saying he had to drive home, which was Rules house, and switching to club soda. "Do I need to cut you off Radlee Jones?" The motherly tone of Alice Cooper rang through the air, someone Rule had always loved. "Alice!" Rule shouted, jumping from Sweet Peas lap and bounding over to give Alice a hug. Once released, Alice gives Sweet Pea a death glare "If you hurt her i'll skin you alive little boy, got it?" Sweets nodded rapidly, Rule choking on a laugh as Alice turned to say goodbye. "Come over for dinner soon okay?" Alice pleaded, hugging her daughter figure one last time who promised to come over and leaving quickly.

Sweet Pea eventually managed to pull a slightly tipsy Rule outside and onto his motorcycle, taking the ten minute drive down the road to her house. Pulling out the extra key Rule had given him, Sweet Pea unlocked the front door and helped Rule into her bedroom, sitting her down on the bed. "You're so handsome." Rule giggled, Sweet Pea helping her unzip the front of her dress while doing his best to advert his eyes. "Why thank you," Sweet Peas lips twitch upwards at her drunken comment "arms up." Rule raised her arms so he could slip his black shirt over her head.

Rule slowly brought her arms down, caressing Sweet Peas face in a loving embrace that neither could break. "I think," Sweet Pea started, pausing to chew his lip nervously and dart his eyes all over her "I think i'm falling for you Radlee Jones." Her eyes well up a little, thumb pressing against his bottom lip. "Mhm, I think you should call me Radlee more often." Rule replies, Sweet Pea knowing by her tone that she felt the exact same way. "Done." Sweet Pea whispered in the darkness, unbuckling his belt and kicking his pants off. He climbed into bed next to her, tickling her sides to make the tinkling laugh he loved so much tumble from her lips.

Resting her head on his chest, Sweet Pea stroked Rules bare thighs and turned the tv onto Grey's Anatomy reruns, knowing how much Rule loved the show that was starting to grow on Sweets. Reaching into the nightstand beside him, Sweet Pea grabbed a whole box of junk food the Rule liked and that he kept for nights just like this. "You remind me of Yang." Sweet Pea mumbles through a mouthful of sour gummy worms, a small grin of agreeance on Rules lips. "I take that as a compliment Dr. Karev." Rule teased, placing a kiss at the hollow of his throat. "Don't ever leave me." Rule whispered so lowly that Sweet Pea wasn't even sure he heard her correctly. "Never." Sweet Pea purred in her ears, Rules eyes beginning to flutter closed in nothing but pure serenity, comfort, and safety. One thing was for sure, and neither party could deny it anymore.

They were in love.
