Honeymoon : An Araleyn Smut Fic

Day 7

Anne was totally right, her last day was totally ruined by the absence of a scarf.

People had been staring at her the entire time, to the point where she turned and hissed into Anne's ear, "Did you have to be so rough?" Anne turned to her with a glint of mischief in her eyes and responded quickly, "I'm pretty sure you liked me biting you."

Catalina shut up after that.

As they strolled through the streets they talked aimlessly, and Catalina ignored the people along the street who gawked at her. One guy actually stopped them and asked if she had been attacked by an animal.

Catalina should've stopped Anne from responding.

She didn't.

Anne had replied with a smugness tinting her voice, "The only animal that was attacking her was me, and she welcomed it."

Catalina flushed a bright red and dragged Anne away after muttering a 'sorry' to the innocent man who'd been genuinely concerned. After a moment or two Catalina stopped, and whipped around to face Anne.

Anne's face blanched at the sight of Catalina.

"Are you serious right now?"

Anne knew better than to actually respond. It was better to just let Catalina air herself out.

"Do you even think before speaking? I mean, he was legitimately worried,did you really have to say something so..... so...... provocative ?"

Anne kept her head down.

"He really didn't need to be scarred by that information Anne. And - "

Catalina paused and looked at Anne with a frown.

"Why haven't you said anything yet? Usually by now you've said something mildly horrifying."

Anne looked up at Catalina, but she still stayed silent. At this point Catalina was worried. Anne, her normally boisterous, chaotic, inappropriate, absurdly sweet wife was silent. Causing no trouble, making no jokes, and also not trying to sweet talk her way out of trouble.

Was the world ending?

"Anne?"

Anne stared at Catalina for a moment before finally speaking.

"It's usually best to let you yell at me before I speak." She stated.

Catalina couldn't help but notice how Anne said it. She was almost being submissive about it. That's when Catalina realized what was happening. Anne probably didn't realize that she was even doing it, but the moment Catalina began to yell at her for being........ outspoken she shut down.

She reverted back to how she would act with........ he who shall not be named .

That made Catalina's heart break.

" Angel ." She whispered gently. She reached her arms out to Anne, and Anne flinched back.

For a moment Catalina's arm hung in the air, surprise had overtaken her features. Anne herself seemed surprised at her actions. Then Catalina let her arm fall.

"We should head back, we need to pack."

Anne nodded demurely, causing Catalina to visibly hold back tears.

The walk back to the hotel was silent and full of tension.

Anne was confused by her thoughts of Catalina. She would never be like Henry, yet fear was clouding her thoughts. Making her afraid of someone who would never hurt her. Logically Anne knew Catalina was just exasperated with Anne's ridiculousness.
