Summary: Rose tells Kanaya about a weird sex dream. (300 words exactly)

[ETA: the AO3 crosspost is now up!]

"I had the strangest dream just now," Rose murmurs into Kanaya's shoulder where they're cuddled up against each other on the library sofa. "You turned into a mushroom."

Kanaya blinks at the non sequitur. "In what context?" she asks, cautiously. "Zombies sprout visible fungoid growths after their first perigee of infection, but my own infection shouldn't manifest anything of the sort."

Now it's Rose's turn to blink, wiping away the residue of sleep. "Vampirism is a fungus? No, set that aside; we can explore that later. This was more of an... alien sex thing. Apparently my hindbrain, impatient with our choice to take this relationship slowly, has begun to spin ever more peculiar xenobiological scenarios of what might happen when we finally have sex."

"And in this one I turned into a mushroom," Kanaya says, her book forgotten in her hands.

"Or an elaborate mushroom-shaped fountain. Don't worry, I still found you attractive," Rose says. "Although the part where you peeled open like a banana was somewhat alarming at first."

Kanaya bites her lip and tries not to fret about how opening bulges and unfurling tendrils have led to millennia of terrible, overwrought fruit and flower imagery in Alternian romances and pornography. She assumed the similar themes in human literature meant their biology was largely compatible, but if Rose was unnerved... "What if I said that a peeled fruit might not be the most inept analogy to the initial stages of arousal?"

Rose smiles, slow and still softened by the alcohol she was drinking before her brief nap. "Darling, I have written porn about horrorterrors. Whatever you keep under your skirt -- or between your horns -- or anywhere else -- is not going to put me off. I will peel you any time."

She tugs Kanaya's face down for a messy kiss.

Inspired by the 2/15/15 [community profile] 15_minute_ficlets word #220: murmur

---------------------------------------------

So yeah, in addition to the prompt word, this was obviously inspired by the original non-pixelated version of page 31 of Summerteen Romance over at Paradox Space. (Look, you know fandom was going to run with that, and since I'm not qualified to write the actual porn version, I figured I'd do what I can. *wry*)
