frog prince, sleeping beauty

WHO: Stefan and Rosalie
WHAT: First dates are exciting! And also most likely to go awry.
WHERE: 701 and beyond~
WHEN: Wednesday evening
WARNINGS: None?

These past few days had not been going very well for Stefan. His dinner at home with Ileana hadn’t gone well. At all. They had barely spoken to each other since. To take his mind off of the argument, and exactly what had started it, he spent his time preparing for his date with Rosalie.

He wasn’t familiar with the area and asking Ileana for help had been out of the question unfortunately. Rosalie hadn’t specified any particular cuisine, much to his chagrin. So he opted for the most obvious, and most difficult choice for the evening. It had taken more than a handful of phone calls, finagling, impersonating, and a bit of bribery but he scored a last minute reservation at Bella Sotto. The town car arrived before seven and was waiting to take them there. The date itself was going to away a sizeable chunk of the money he had left, but he didn’t mind so much. Stefan wanted to make the best impression, and if that meant pulling out all the stops, then so be it. He could always get more money. He was going to have to eventually.

At seven on the dot he was at her door: suit, jacket, tie, the whole nine yards. He knocked politely with his free hand, the other holding a bouquet of flowers. It was a simple but elegant spring mix, lots of colorful daisies and tulips. It seemed out of place and too casual when measured against the more elegant aspects of his plan. There was just something too obvious about giving a Sleeping Beauty roses though. He hoped she’d appreciate the thought.

He couldn't help but squeeze her hand as he felt the kiss, resisting (barely) the urge to pull her back and give her a proper one. The fact she was asking made it clear she wanted to walk, so led them down the sidewalk, hands still intertwined. He couldn't disguise his other hand deftly texting the driver that they were going to walk home, but Stefan figured he would be forgiven. As they continued he gave her a gentle kiss at the top of her head before pulling her closer. "Gorgeous night for a walk." He was glad she chose it.

"It is," she agreed happily, leaning close to his side and squeezing his hand slightly. Rosalie liked walking around the city, but it was much better to do it like this, with someone. The sun had set already, only to be replaced by the bright lights of store fronts. She put herself in charge of directions, laughing slightly as she turned and tugged gently for him to follow her. "Okay, so it's not exactly the safest place to run around after dark," she warned, "but stay out of alleyways and you'll be fine." The air was just cool enough to excuse her slipping even closer to him, and she did so, smiling. "There's nowhere good to go around here, but one day you have to see the whole thing at night from really far up and you'll see how pretty it is," she told him.

He let him lead her without any fuss, for really he'd let her lead him anywhere. "No alleyways. Check," he chuckled although was making a mental note of where they were. It didn't look so bad, but it was early yet and he knew all about deceptive appearances. In the morning he'd look into getting at least some sort of weapon.

Of course all thoughts like that went out the window when she slid up closer. "I dunno, the view is pretty good from where I am right now," he said quietly, sincere with just a hint of sly, and looked down at her. "Downright gorgeous."

It was fortunate that the light was dim, because otherwise Rosalie would have been furious with herself at the pink burning into her cheeks. Sure, she had been told the same thing by guys before, but tonight it lifted her spirit and made her blush like a teenager with a bad crush. The comment deserved more than a polite 'thank you' though, especially given its indirect nature. As they turned down the street that Bellum was on, she brought her lips up to his face again, this time actually brushing his mouth gently in something that still wasn't quite a true kiss.

He let her close the distance between them, but he couldn't hide his disappointment at her tease. When she pulled away he let out a quiet noise, something between a groan and a sigh, but he slid an arm around her waist to hold her close. His free hand came up to brush the hair away her face and trail fingers along her cheek. "If I didn't know better I would say I was being punished. You trying to kill me?" he smirked, his lips brushing against her as he spoke.

	"Sorry," she sighed, leaning into his fingers and turning her face up even more. Bellum was in view now, but she stopped them, clasping her own arms, now free, around his neck. "I just wasn't sure if I could do that and walk at the same time." The words came out in one quick, low breath, before she tilted her head and kissed him fully. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

His arm tightened around her waist as kissed her, gently, tentatively at first, but no less thrilled. It reminded him of the morning they met, unable to do much else but kiss her in the confines of her kitchen. It was several long moments before he pulled away, but only just, lips barely apart. He seemed to be considering something as his brows furrowed but he shook his head. “Nope. Definitely can’t walk at the same time. We’re just going to have to stay put,” he murmured. Both hands came to rest on her hips and his nose brushed against hers, coaxing her lips up as he kissed her again.

When he pulled back for those few seconds, Rosalie took the opportunity to maneuver him out of the middle of the sidewalk and away from the street. None of the passersby gave them much attention, not that she would have noticed if they had. She didn't talk again, but made a soft noise of contentment as she nosed under him and kissed back, soft and warm, pulling him closer as she went.

He couldn't disguise his smile as she tugged him close. He didn't venture too far from her lips and he walked awkwardly, his steps swaying them from side to side as they moved and kissed and moved and kissed some more. The urge to press her up against he wall was great and his hands on her tightened for a moment before he spun them around, leaning on the wall himself. "We're never going to make it back home at this rate." His voice was low but there was a rumble of a laugh as he gently worried her lower lip with teeth.

Rosalie laughed breathlessly, kissing him several more times before drawing back enough to talk, even though her lips were still hovering just over his mouth. "I have class early on Thursdays," she apologized in a murmur. Despite the words, she went up slightly on her toes so that she was almost his height and kissed him again, nudging his upper lip slightly between hers, hair falling forward with her movements.

"I take that back," he sighed ruefully. "You're definitely punishing me." She leaned up to kiss him once more and he took his time, determined to make it last. Finally, after a good amount of restraint, he pulled away. He turned them around once more and gently led her back to Bellum. "Come on, Sleeping Beauty. Time for some shut eye." It didn't look like he'd get tired of the puns any time soon.

They walked back up to her floor and she tugged him close again, smiling and giving him another quick kiss. "Thank you," was murmured as she looked up at him, eyes warm and sincere. "I had an amazing time." She pressed up one more time to give him a last kiss, long and soft and lingering, before giving his hand a final squeeze and releasing it. "Bonne nuit, Stefan."

"Me too," he said simply. Everytime he thought he could handle it, thought he could pull away long enough and simply just be beside her, she kissed him and made it hard to leave her alone. "Night, Rosalie," he said simply as he walked back, too dazed and elated for anything remotely witty or charming. He gave one last look and a wave before heading up the stairs and back to twelve.
