The smile that captivated his features met his eyes at her words, strong arms pulling her more flush against his chest as a way to keep her close. He nuzzled her jaw, pressing a kiss there just after.
“Chinese?”
Hermione let out a soft giggle as he did, just staying in his arms. “Hm, I’m gonna make the most of you carrying me.” She smirked with a teasing look.
“I’ll soon be huge.” She laughed as she got settled on the couch, staying in his lap as she curled against him.
“Hmm, maybe —
— A smile appeared on his features as he caught her gaze, pulling up DoorDash on his phone so they could order.
“Anything you want tonight, it’s yours.”
“Not at all,” he responded with a shake of his head, large hands gripping at her thighs just secure enough to lift her and wrap her legs around his waist. He took her away from the table, heading to the couch to settle down so they could spend a little time together. —
Hermione giggled a little as he did, she just stayed in his arms as he did. She kissed him softly before she gazed at him and let out a soft sigh.
“I can take a break.” She muttered as she looked.
“Hm, maybe we could order a take away? I’m not sure if I feel up to going—
I wouldn’t say busy per say, just trying to get adjusted to being back still and well with all of the changes, I guess. I’m glad to hear you’re good. Greg treating you good?
Richard smiled at her confirmation that she knew, lifting her with ease when her arms moved around him and drawing her into his frame. He gently pressed a kiss to the side of her head, holding her impossibly close.
“I know you’re overwhelmed, but take a break even for a bit? —
Hermione slowly placed them down, she then wrapped her arms around him as she smiled cuddling into him.
“I love them so much, thank you.” She spoke softly as she kissed him again softly. “I know.” She spoke softly as she gazed at him staying in his arms.
Richard waits patiently until she takes the bouquet into her grasp, finally releasing them from his own. There’s a smile forever present on his lips, leaning up to press another kiss to the center of hers.
“I know you’ve been dealing with a lot with your headaches, uni, and —
Hermione kept her gaze on him with a smile as she looked, her eyes widening at the flowers.
“They are beautiful. Thank you…” she spoke softly as she took them and smelt them with a smile.
“What did I do to deserve these?”
The way that he’s positioned by where she sat, he’s kneeling by the seat, grinning up in her direction. A moment passes, then he’s pulling his other hand behind his back that held a bouquet of flowers.
“Oh, I’m so glad I could. These are for you.”
Hermione kept her gaze on him as she smiled a little, as she let out a soft sigh. “You certainly did.” She smirked, she slowly leant in and pressed a soft kiss against his lips gently.
She had a small curve, due to the bump slowly starting to show.
The corners of his lips twitched into an eager little smile with his lips still pressed to her skin, a hand sliding down to rub at her stomach. “Sorry. I wanted to surprise you.”
Hermione was trying to focus on her uni work, stressing as she was in two minds in weather to drop out or not.
Feeling his kiss, she couldn’t help but smile as she turned her head and gazed at him. “Hey. I didn’t hear you get back.”
Richard tucked his chin down to where his eyes could fall upon her features properly, gently pushing a strand of hair behind her ear.
“She would be more than alright with it, I’m just trying to see how you feel? Say no if you want. I don’t think you realize I’m more than —
Hermione cuddled into him more, a little tightly as she was clingy as she let out a soft sigh.
“I’m not sure. I mean, would lucy even be okay with it? A baby coming…” she sighed softly as she took a deep breath.
Richard pulled her frame impossibly close against his chest, hooking his chin very gently on top of her head as they cuddled up to one another.
“That depends. Do you want me to move in here or would you prefer my place?”
Hermione slowly adjusted the duvet as she cuddled into him, keeping it over her as she just rested her head against his chest as her eyes closed slowly.
“Hm, good. So, when can you move in?” She teased, slowly trailing her fingers over his arm gently as she kept her eyes closed.
