You're so dark (an Alex Turner fanfic)

bedtalks

Alex let his naked and slightly sweaty body fall next to Ruby, who was just in the same state as him, utterly happy and tired but feeling great. It was dark outside and becoming colder from day to day.

 He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her tight to him. She smiled and rested her head on his shoulder and also hugged him tight while he managed to pull the duvet over them.

 After some moment Alex started humming quietly, he allways did that when he felt really good and nothing on this world could destroy his mood.

 Ruby smiled to herself and closed her eyes, listening to his hummed 'She's thunderstorms'

 She loved his voice so much, it was like a bath of thik chocolate would surround her, simply delicious.

 Alex stopped and put a kiss on her lips "I love you" he whispered and stroke softly over her cheek.

 "Even though I made your heart stop for a second today with my joke?" she asked innocent and smiled.

 "Luv, you made my heart stop before, but that was tough" he laughed quietly "My face was priceless, right?"

 "Better than you could ever imagine!"

 He faked a huff and earned a sweet laugh from her but then she turned a little serious again "Alex...you'd make a great dad..."                                                                                                 He looked a little confused but smiled "Hmm...not sure 'bout that..."

 "But I am. And I'm also sure that I'd be the worst mother possible, I can't even look after myself, now imagine me with a child...I don't think I could ever manage that...I don't know...it's just...so many people around me are having kids now and I can't even decide what I want to wear tomorrow, ya know...it's just such a scary thought...having a child...Do I sound strange when saying I never thought of having one? It just never came to my mind when I was younger. Everyone around me just allways knew like 'yes...and then I'll marry and have a child' I don't know...I never planned my life like that to be honest"  Alex noded slowely and started playing with her soft hair in his fingers, looking at the ceiling. "I understand what you mean. I never thought of me being a dad one day. It's just something...I don't know...I can't imagine myself and I have enough to do taking care of myself. I think I'm more the cool uncle than an actual dad" he smiled and Ruby laughed quietly "Isabella loves you, probably more than I do" she teased and got a soft poke into her side as answer "You also love this cat more than me!" he defended himself and gave her another kiss. 

"But if I'd say I'd never want a child-" "Then that's your desicion. Let's say we're thirty, and married, having a house outside London, with a garden and meet our neighbours for saturday evening and discuss our newest tricks on how to care for the roses, and if we then still say 'no' we don't want a child, that'll be fine, I wouldn't worry about that now hun"

 "I want a vanilla pudding fountain in hour future house, right in the middle of it, like the source of life!"

 "Oh and we need two thrones instead of kitchenchairs, for 'King and Queen of Rock and Roll!"

 Ruby laughed and so did Alex.

 "And we'll have our own conservatory, then we can repeat our second date all over and over"

 "Oh how about I'll just buy the whole city for you then" he laughed and gave her a peck on her cheek. She looked dreamy at him "And a huge bathroom with a bathtub made of pure gold!"

 "A cinema in our house!"

 "But one of the old one's like they had in the twenties!"

 "Deal!" he smiled at her and answered it with a kiss.

"Hey...do you want me to accompany you to that Baby-party thing?" Ruby looked surprised, he really asked from himself to go there with her.

 "that's really cute of you...but I think first they don't want a single penis there and second I believe it won't get that much fun...or of course if you want to talk about the newest pregnancy-yoga and the best vegetables that will make a genious out of your child and what names will be good and stylish and new...so it's better if you'll wait for me at some bar and afterwards we'll get drunk"

 "So bad? Don't you think it could be fun?"

 "Spending my free time with a horde of over-hormonal-pregnant hysteric women, no thanks"

 "Some of your friends will be there"

 "Yes...and they'll all gonna be oh so hyped about a three month old fetus"

 Alex laughed a little and planted a kiss on her nose "Well said love"

 "I mean...I really like Jen, she's made to be a mum, and I 'm happy for her,  but most of her friends are like...those girls at the bar, you know...those hating on me"

 "It's just a few hours..."

 "Bad enough..."

 "And it's like you go there, have a coffee and give Jen some baby-stuff?"

 "Almost...probably with some oh so vegan muffins and a organic tea with milk from happy cows"

 "Women..."

 "Women" she repeated and sighed.

 "But I have nothing against your 'getting drunk afterwards' plan" he smiled.

 "Oh and why did I knew that allready"

 "Because Alex Turner is a useless drunk and addict?"

 "Exactly" she said happy and circled her finger around his hipbone "You are MY useless drunk and addict!"

 Alex chuckled and kissed her gently on her lips "That's only because I have the best possible drug"

 "And that would be?"

 "You" he whispered and kissed her again, longer this time but just as calm and gentle.
