This story is a sequel to Now Or Never Now


"I fell in love,/'Cause no one saw me the way you did,/And no one's seen me that way since,/But for a short time that's how I lived./Can't get happy, can't get sad,/It's hard to do,/When I hate everyone but you." -The Front Bottoms, 'Everyone But You'

Prequel 1: "Constant Headache"
Prequel 2: "Now Or Never Now"

Gallus goes to visit Smolder in the hospital after an accident during cheerleading practice. While she is recovering well, the scare does cause Smolder and Gallus to talk about their relationship. However, even as she is recuperating, the two can't help but exchange insults and taunts to one another.

“You sure? It’s pretty cool,” Smolder asked again, but Gallus shook his head no. She continued, “Anyway, after the surgery, the docs told me I still have to stay for a few days to make sure I’m all okay. But I did get to see my appendix floating in a jar! I asked if I could keep it but they had to check if it was okay.”

Just don't forget that it's not a snack late at night

Gallus paused for a moment as he thought about what he just heard, “....are you threatening me or flirting with me?”

yes

“This coming from the dragon with the breath that’s like the breeze off a landfill,” Gallus crossed his limbs.

“You always have that smell. I notice it most when we are, you know….fighting in private.”

oh my

A laugh escaped from the dragon. “If you’re not careful, I’m gonna cause you to end up in this bed,” Smolder raised up her free arm in a fist.

“Is that a threat or a promise?” the griffon snarked right back.

yes

“Yeah, you’re already dating her, I can’t think of anything worse that could happen. Unless, of course, she causes you to end up here as well.”

It honest to gosh wouldn't surprise me if any of their dates ended with one or both of them winding up in the hospital, or at least with an injury that needed patching up. Routinely so, even. After all, a large part of their whole relationship is their cat fighting. That, and they are the sort who'd consider starting a bar fight part of a great date, I'm sure. :rainbowlaugh:

"And there isn’t anything wrong with being a third wheel! It adds stability and extra traction!"

Yeah, the Reliant Robin would like to say otherwise. :trollestia:

"The doctor said that I got sudden appendicitis, which has to do with whatever my appendix is."

Huh. Dragons have an appendix, from which they can get appendicitis.

“I don’t know what any creature would really call what we got. Official, unofficial, whatever."

Eh, we'll just call it Smollus and leave it at that. :raritywink:

Thank you both for the awesome feedback and responses! This was a fun story to work on. Thanks once again, Sun!

Why is this so good?

I mean...wow.

I love the way they show their affection. And I'd love to read more.

Awww this was a nice story and how gallus is so worrying about smolder and I do like their little talk with each other this was a pretty good story keep up the good work

This is one of the most adorable and heartfelt Smollus series I have read in quite a while. They manage to be cute and charming, while still staying in character.
