Ripper beams at her.

So does Tony.

Then he snuggles down against Ripper for a prolonged celebratory pre-pillow-fort kiss.
Permalink

Soph giggles and starts categorizing pillows.

Permalink


Tony sits up and notices that she is doing that.

"Wow, awesome, you're the best, I love you," he says, beaming some more.
Permalink

"I love you too! I mean I figured we are going to be doing serious architecture, here, I remember you with the gingerbread, so there will be no going 'now where did I put that one lego, I mean pillow'."

Permalink

"You are right," says Tony. He rubs his hands together gleefully.

Permalink

Ripper giggles.

Permalink

Soph leans over to kiss Tony, too (who doesn't want to kiss Tony?) and then resumes pillow-sorting.

Permalink
Aww kisses yay kisses!

Tony gets in on the pillow-sorting too. It is a necessary step before the architecture can begin.
Permalink
Ripper helps! He is so helpful.

"That is a lot of pillows," he observes.
Permalink

"The better to make a fort with, my dear."

Permalink

He cracks up.

Permalink

Sort sort sort. Soph begins testing various pillows for properties like their ability to stand on end and form stable stacks.

Permalink
Tony spontaneously hugs her.

"Pillow science!" he proclaims gleefully. "No, better. Pillow engineering."
Permalink

Eee hugs! Those are distracting though! A pillow topples over when she is seized. "I love you."

Permalink
"I love you toooo." Snuggle snuggle. Okay, back to pillow science!

Tony seems to be the test-as-you-go type: he starts laying foundations on the bed, paying attention to the shape of the pillows but not the colour.
Permalink

"Going to let the rest of us in on your grand plans?" inquires Ripper.

Permalink
"Yes!" says Tony. "Yes I will."

His plans are very grand. This pillow fort is going to have four walls, an arched doorway, a blankety roof, and room enough for all three of them inside. (It's a big bed, so space at least won't be an issue.)

It's that archway that gives him trouble. Pillows just aren't made to do that. But Tony is sure he can persuade them, if he builds the walls well enough.
Permalink

Soph believes in him! She will hold key pillows in place while he tries things.

Permalink

Ripper gets swept up in the excitement and is happy to serve as a third pair of hands where necessary.

Permalink

Experimentation proceeds. Eventually, with the rest of the walls already up, he gets it stable. He kisses Ripper (briefly) and Soph (less briefly) to celebrate.

Permalink

Kissing Tony is Soph's favorite thing. (Although apparently watching attractive third parties kiss Tony would also make any multi-item list.)

Permalink
Tony beams.

"Okay, let's do the roof."

Blanket! Big colourful thin-but-snuggly patchwork quilt, to be specific. It's the lightest blanket available and therefore the easiest to stabilize. Tony rolls it up and hoists an end.

"Somebody wanna take the other end so we can unroll it over the walls, and somebody else wanna lay down more pillows on top?"
Permalink

"I'll take the end," says Soph, and so she does.

Permalink

"Awesome! Over here," he says, hauling his end higher so they can carry the rolled blanket to the back of the fort.
