Prom Excitement!!
Who: Mere and Be
Where: Avarice
When: Prom
Damn it. Pink everywhere. Streamers. Ribbons. Bows. Ben had half a mind to shift form and rip the throats out of the entire prom committee of Reagan High. Luckily for that group though... he had the rather distracting form of his date with his, Meredith Delany. "I hope you like this, Mere. I... wanted you to have SOMETHING normal to end this part of your life with. So you could at least say the end of your school life was the same as any other girl."
"Not sure about all of the pink," Mere said, looking around. She liked the pink about as much as much as Ben did, although she figured that ripping out throats, while fun sounding, wouldn't really solve anything. Probably cause a lot more problems. "I do like this," she said. She liked being able to go to Prom with the person she loved. That's what was important to her. "This is certainly along the normal aspect of life."
"Well... believe me... this night is only going to get better for you." Ben said with his trademark smirk, pulling her closer to him. "The afterprom concert I booked? I put a LOT of money out for this. And pulled in more favors than I remembered I was owed. And it's all for you." He laughed, knowing that all anyone knew was that he had some 'huge' band coming in to play specifically for the prom-going crowd, as well as for a few hundred others that purchased hyper-expensive tickets.
"That so?" she asked. She knew that he was up to something. He had that 'I know something you don't know' look on his face that she both loved and drove her mad. "I didn't realize that many people even owed you favors. Not too shocking though."
He leaned in, whispering in her ear in a tone that only someone with her enhanced hearing could have had a chance at catching. "What would you say if I told you that Aerosmith is playing here tonight?"
"I would say that you're fucking with me and ask who's really playing," Mere said with a straight face.
"Well. While I plan on fucking with you later... that wasn't exactly what I had in mind." He said with equal seriousness. "I'm being completely serious."
She turned to him and arched an eyebrow. "Are you really serious?" she asked, still disbelieving.
"You really never wondered why I didn't take you into our... favorite office before the dance?" He laughed. "A certain idol of yours was in there signing my other gift for you."
"Um...no, didn't think about it at the time," she admitted. "OK, this I've got to see."
"It's not exactly hard to guess now... so I'll just tell you. It's a black 1968 Gibson Les Paul." He held her close again, brushing her hair with his hand. "And it now has Joe Perry's signature on the pickguard."
"Oh my god, are you really serious?" Her eyes were going wide now. She was about .02 seconds from going into squealing teenager mode.
And he loved it, really. While he loved Meredith in every way, he at times missed seeing that old, normal, human part of her. "Yes, I'm completely serious, love."
Mere squealed very loudly, probably attracting more than a few stares, but she didn't even notice. "Oh my god, how did you do it?" she asked, wrapping her arms around him in a hug that showed she still didn't quite know her own strength.
Thank god he was more than normal himself, or his lungs would be pierced by his own ribcage right now. "Like I said. I know a lot pf people, and a lot of those people owe me favors." He smirked, stroking her cheek with his fingertips. "I was planning on using those favors for things more along the lines of extortion, laundering, etc., but when I realized what something like this would mean to you..."
"Oh my god, thank you, thank you, thank you," she said, still hugging him. "I have no idea how to thank you for this? Swedish twins again?" She really didn't have the first clue. "If you need anything done, I'll do it for you."
He had half a mind to ask her to talk Chloe into coming home with them some night, but bit his tongue. "Just seeing you this happy is all the thanks I need."
"Oh god, I can't believe that you did this for me," she said, finally pulling back a bit.
"For you.. I would do anything." And he meant it. He knew that for her, he would lie, cheat, steal, even kill if need be.
"I'd do anything for you, too, and not just because you got Aerosmith to play at my Prom," she said, standing up on her toes and kissing him.
"You're my forever. Always remember that." He smiled, showing a romantic, sweet side of himself that nobody, even Mere, ever really got to see.
"Forever and ever," Mere said with a smile. If only he knew she was willing to make that forever a reality, if he'd let her.
