Person A buying a giant, silly, inflatable sprinkler toy for the backyard and Person B teasing them, saying they don't need it and that it's ridiculous. Then one day, Person A comes home to find Person B in the backyard playing with it bromance for Aedion and Aelin? Please?

Ridiculous - October 13th

Aedion Ashryver - Aelin Galathynius

A/N: I really didn’t know what to do with this, I hope it’s enough and that you like it;)

Aelin was bouncing from foot to foot making shrill verses of excitement as the delivery men left the giant package in the backyard of their house.

Lorcan and Fenrys would come and help Rowan put it all together that afternoon. The first one was forced by Elide, who had threatened to leave without sex for two weeks if he told his sister that he wouldn't help her and Aelin couldn't wait to have her own inflatable house in the back garden.

"Gods, guys," she squealed, "I'm so excited!"

Rowan laughed, putting his arm around her shoulders, "Please don't make me regret agreeing to buy it."

Lysandra gave him an amused look and then turned to Aedion when her giant blond boyfriend snorted, "You don't need this. It's ridiculous."

Aelin's eyes snapped in his direction, shocked as much as disappointed. She opened her mouth, certainly to insult him, but then she closed it. Her lips were reduced to a thin line until she found the perfect comeback.

She grunted when Aedion raised an eyebrow, an evil grin on her lips, "What? Do you think I'm right?"

She scoffed, "No, I'm just sad." Rowan stiffened beside her, bending his head backwards, making a noise of exasperation. Lysandra mimicked his movements, muttering a 'please don't'.

"You're jealous because Lys would never let you put something like that in the garden." Aedion looked at her slightly open-mouthed, "My fiancé is better than yours." she stuck her tongue out.

It was Lysandra's turn to chuckle, her forehead wrinkled, "Yeah, because I'm not a simp, unlike someone else."

Rowan looked at her upset, bringing a hand to his chest, "Excuse me?"

Aedion ignored him and turned to his cousin, "That's not true. I would never want anything like that in my house. It's a waste of energy."

"Nah."

"We'll talk about it when your bill comes at the end of the month." Aedion joked.

Aelin shook his head, "Stop playing dumb, you wouldn't come down for a moment."

Lysandra seemed inclined to agree with her.

"It's stupid, it's for kids." Aedion defended himself, "And then those things were ugly even when we were kids. I don't know how many times I've thrown headbuttons at random people on inflatables," he said massaging his forehead, as if he could still feel the pain.

Rowan smiled, "Maybe that's why you're so stupid now."

Aelin burst out laughing and then turned to her cousin, "What a sad childhood."

Before she knew it, Lysandra had hit her in the side. Aelin brought her hand to her mouth, choking on a laugh. She dared a look at Aedion, who had a vaguely amused expression on his face.

"I had completely forgotten about the whole no-father-there-for-half-my-life thing."

Rowan brought a hand to his face, releasing a sigh, "You're tremendous."

"Rowan!" Aelin screamed as she entered the house, Elide behind her, "I have the cake!"

She heard her fiancé answer that they were all in the garden and saw Elide running out when Lorcan called her urgently. The blonde grinned, thinking which shirt the newcomer to the Salvaterre family must have just vomited on.

It didn't take her too long to arrange the stuff in the fridge so that she could put the cake in there and join the others.

As soon as she went out into the backyard, her heart warmed up. Her whole family was there.

Rowan in front of the barbecue smiling at her, the hand holding the spatula to turn the burgers up in midair to greet her. Elide laughing carefree next to him while holding little Mikail in her arms and passing a clean shirt to a shirtless, not so happy, Lorcan.

She approached the trio, only to leave a light kiss on Rowan's lips and then turned towards the others. Fenrys and Nehemiah were talking to Asterin and Dorian and - judging by the excited looks they were exchanging - it must have been something very stupid, like what new cartoon their children had decided to watch.

Manon didn't seem to be anywhere, she was probably hiding somewhere with Connall and Vaughan, to avoid all the excited screams of kids running around the garden and conversations about children's movies that seemed to haunt her wherever she went.

"I just want to spend a day without having to argue about which super puppet is the best." Manon once said.

The first couple's daughter shone with her own light, dark skin, much more like her mother's than her father's, and a head full of braids that flew left and right every time she moved and ran away from Manon and Dorian's son. Seen side by side they seemed two opposite faces of the same coin. Just as the little girl was a distinct copy of her mother, the boy was so bright and simply silvery that he shone in the sun.

When she saw Lysandra next to the inflatable house, Aelin made a confused face.

Rowan, next to her, noticed it and huffed, "Please don't start again.

"What should I...?" she stopped, clutching his arm as she leaned forward with her mouth wide open. She began to tremble with emotion, "Is Aedion in the bouncing house?!" she shouted so loudly that everyone noticed that she had arrived. Lysandra looked at her on the other side of the garden and nodded.

Yrene approached her, with little Amelia in her arms. Elide was forced to cling to the other new mother when her son began to squirm at the sight of his friend.

Lorcan and Rowan exchanged a strange look and then fist bumped, nodding with two knowing smirks on their faces.

"My smart little man," murmured Lorcan.

Aelin squealed and ran towards the inflatable, pulling her hand away from his arm too late and almost knocking Rowan down. Lorcan was immediately there to hold him up.

"I knew it!" cried Aelin, laughing as soon as she took off her shoes and went inside the little bouncy house.

Aedion, who was jumping as if his life depended on it as he laughed his head off, suddenly froze. Evangeline, next to him, kept jumping with such an impassive face that it was almost worrying.

Aedion approached her with fast steps, bouncing from one side to the other, "I'm not having fun, Eva made me do it!"

The little girl stopped, shaking her head. Aelin laughed, "I see it."

Evangeline passed by her, puffing, "That's not true. He paid me to get on this thing."

Aelin opened her mouth wide and hit Aedion in the chest, "Admit you want an inflatable house too."

Aedion came so close to her that their noses touched each other, "Never."

"You literally just paid a little girl to pretend to make you come up here with her." she deadpanned.

When he remained silent, Aelin turned her head slightly, keeping her eyes fixed on him, and shouted, "Eva! How much did he pay you?"

"You paid her?!" cried Lysandra, looking out into the little house.

"I didn't!" Aedion defended himself.

Evangeline's face appeared under Lysandra's, "He gave me 50 bucks." and then she disappeared.

"Aedion!"

They all broke out laughing when the boy started running around the garden, chased by his girlfriend. Lysandra was yelling at him to stop so she could beat him up for giving money to a little girl just to have fun on an inflatable.

Manon appeared next to Elide and Yrene and the grin on her face promised nothing good, "The time has come..." then she stepped forward, "Nadia! Adrien! Attack!"

The two children broke out in a war cry and began to run toward Aedion, who seemed sincerely frightened when he saw Nadia spriting toward him.

They tackled him to the ground almost immediately and climbed on him while everyone around them laughed.

Aelin, still sitting on the edge of the bouncy house, burst out laughing, happy and carefree with her family.
