alec mcdowell, navi

Who: Alec and Navi
What: Surprises
When: Tonight
Where: Their Apartment
Warnings: TBD

It was driving him crazy. The waiting. Making him more and more anxious with each passing second. Alec wasn't sure that he'd ever been this nervous in his life, not even during the escape from Manticore, which was saying something. He found himself pacing around the living room, which was only making Turbo fidget in his cage, wondering what was wrong with one of his owners. It wasn't as if this was something new. It'd been in his mind for awhile. Going through with it was something else entirely.

Navi would be getting here any second. She was already on her way, he knew that much, and she'd said she was only a minute or two from the apartment. Taking her advice he had heated up some milk in the microwave and was now drinking the contents of the glass. His heart was racing within his chest and he was pretty sure that his hands were sweating. She was almost there..he knew it, could feel it.

	Navi blinked as he put the ring on her ring finger, eyes welling with new happy tears. She smiled when he kissed her, thinking about how amazing it was going to be to be Navi McDowell. Once their lips had parted, she nuzzled into his chest, wiping her eyes on his t-shirt. "I - how long have you been planning this?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Both of his arms wrapped around her body when she nuzzled in against his chest, just wanting to hold her there like that for hours, never let her go. Seeing the ring on her finger gave him feelings that he couldn't even describe. He never imagined he'd be in this situation yet he'd never wanted it more.

There was a smile still on his lips, he'd didn't think it'd be going away any time soon, understandably so. "Since before we went on vacation."

	"You're so sneaky! I can't believe you managed to do this without me figuring it out! I'm smart, you know." She looked at the ring, eyes misting over anew. "It's so pretty, and I - dunno. I never thought this would happen to me, ever." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Believe me, it wasn't easy, especially picking out how I wanted to do it and getting it delivered here. And I know how smart you are, I had to improvise a little." He tilted his head down and looked at the ring on her finger. It made it even more real. It meant more than anything they would be together forever. But he'd aways believed that.

"Navi.." A slight pause as he collected himself. "I want to give you the best wedding possible. One that is even more than you could possibly imagine." He felt his heart skip a beat, he wasn't trying to ruin the mood, just be honest. "But..I don't think I have anyone to invite to the wedding. no best man or anything..but I don't want that to change things. I want it to be perfect for you."

Navi looked up at Alec, one hand reaching up to cup his cheek.

"Baby, it'll be a good wedding. And you've probably got someone to invite, you probably just haven't thought of 'em yet, or they're not here." She smiled at him, shrugging. "I mean, I don't have a girl to be my maid of Honor, I'd rather have Link be my person of Honor. But I don't know if you can do that."

It wasn't any kind of exaggeration to say that Navi had the ability to make him feel better with just a look. Her soft touch was more than enough to make all of his worries disappear. She was the only person he'd ever met that had that kind of power over him, the only person he ever wanted to.

"None of 'em are here." Alec honestly hadn't bothered making any friends here outside of Navi. And anyone else he knew, they just never showed up. "It's our wedding, we can do it however we want, so the answer is yes." He had thought about just sweeping her up and eloping, but then he knew he wanted to give Navi an experience she would always remember.

	"Link would really like that. And Katya can come, and Toki - " Navi shut up before she made Alec feel bad. It was Navi's nature to mingle and flit, and it wasn't something she could turn off, even in the new universe she was in. She nuzzled her head into his chest again, grinning. "Hey, you could invite the you-not-yous." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I want you to invite as many people as you can." Alec told her with a genuine smile on his lips. It didn't upset him that she knew that many people, the opposite, he was pretty happy about it. There were some guys from work he knew that would come. "Just wanna make you happy." As long as he had her, that was all he really needed.

He kissed the top of her head softly when she nuzzled against his chest. "There's this guy named Sam. I've talked to him a few times, we joked about playing a trick on his brother, I was figuring on inviting both of them."

"Okay, I will." She tiptoed up to kiss him, "But you're the one who makes me happy, silly. I mean, I wouldn't be having this awesome day if it weren't for you, and I wouldn't be happy at all if it weren't for you."

She smiled when he mentioned someone he could invite. "I think I've seen them around. They seem like sweet boys. And it's nice to know you're still gonna be hot when you're older."

"Good," he murmured quietly against her lips before kissing her back. "I just never thought anything like this would ever happen. Kinda..taking it in. It's amazing." She made him feel complete, that wasn't just some trite and cliche saying, it was the truth. "There's a lot of stuff to plan...like location."

Arm tightened around Navi slightly and he pulled her in closer. "That right? Like knowing what I'll look like a few years down the line?" He was teasing her, of course, one of his favorite things to do.

"Me either. I mean, I didn't even have a body before I got here. It's hard to think about love and marriage and stuff when you're itty bitty and nobody notices you that way." She an her fingers through his hair and nodded. "I've been doing research for a friend, actually, so I've got all sorts of information about locations around here and stuff."

She giggled when he teased her and nodded. "You're gonna be hot then, too. Of course, because I love you, you're allways gonna be hot."

"I couldn't imagine never noticing you. You're just so..amazing. It doesn't seem possible." Alec was more than aware that she was explaining exactly how it had been for her. He could tell himself that he would have noticed her, but with the way he was before, that probably wasn't possible. "You know what this means, right? We get to plan for a honeymoon too.'

He poked her very gently in the ribs and smirked. "I can't be jealous for you thinking that..cause yanno, I look just lie him. Kinda defeats the purpose."

"I was itty bitty. I mean, Link was my best friend, and he noticed me, but that was about it." She smiled up at him and ruffled his hair. "I know you would've, though. I do." But all of those thoughts went out the window when he mentioned honeymoon. "... we do. Eee! What do you want to do?"

The poke in the ribs tickled, and she squirmed and laughed. "He does, but more growly. Dunno, you're... cuter."

	"I'm glad you think so too. I would have found a way to notice you..you're too incredible to pass over." It was impossible to imagine a life without Navi but he knew he'd never have to either. "I'm not sure. Our vacation was amazing...I'm not sure where we should go." "Cuter? Is that a good thing?" He flashed her another smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"And I would've found a way to help you. But that's all past, and we've got now and we're together and that's a really good thing." She smiled and kissed his nose, trying to think. "We could go on that road trip, if you wanted? Or just go get a hotel room and never leave."

When he asked if cuter was a good thing, she nodded hard and grinned. "I don't know. You're adorable and sweet but you're hot too, and I like that only I get to see that. If that makes sense."

"I know you would have. I never believed in fate or destiny before, thought it was kind of stupid...but I do believe we were meant to be together." If there was one thing in life that Alec truly believed it was that Navi was the person I was meant to spend the rest of his life with. "I've got an even better idea. We could both go on the road trip, stay in a hotel room, and make sure we get plenty of use out of it."

He picked Navi completely up in his arms, cradling her, small smile on his lips. "It does make sense. Only wanna share that side with you now. Makes it better."

	Navi kissed him and nodded. "We were." She gave him an Eskimo kiss, then squeed. "Humping over the Grand Canyon and in a hotel? You've got a huge, wonderful brain, future husband." She giggled when he picked her up and nodded. "Same here. Nobody but you knows I even do sexytimes!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Alec looked over at her with a slight smirk on his lips, tilting his head to the side, still looking at her. "Glad to hear you know it," Alec teased when she commented about how smart he was. "Or maybe I just have a list of all the things I wanna do to you." the road trip definitely sounded fun. He just wanted to give Navi something she'd always remembered. What both of them could enjoy.

With her body cradled in his arms he walked across the living room and took a seat on the couch, still holding her. "Sexytimes? Kind of an understatement, you kinky little vixen." He flashed another smile at her to let Navi know he was playing.

Navi's eyebrows raised, but she was grinning. "You have a list? Did you write it down, or is it all in your brain? I'm excited 'cause it'll be fun, you know, past the sex. We can rent or buy a car, you can teach me to drive, and I'll get to see more of the country. I want to know everything."

She giggled as he carried her to the living room, and bit her lip. "You know what I mean! Nobody really knows I like what I like."

Seeing Navi grin lie that made it even better. "It's all in my brain. Can't have such classified information falling into the wrong hands. Results could be deadly." He squeezed ehr gently in his arms, pulling her a little closer. "We'll see the entire country together. It won't be hard to teach you how to drive...my future wife is a genius."

Taking a seat on the couch, at least for the moment, he moved so that Navi was sitting in his lap. "I don't mind that being our secret."

"Ohhhh, that's probably smart. It's a for your eyes only thing, right?" She giggled and nuzzled into his neck, nibbling playfully. "I'm your future wife!" She squeed a bit and bit her lower lip. "Mrs. Navi McDowell. Sounds good, huh?"

Once they were on the couch, she sat in his lap and let her forehead rest against his. "Good. I like it being something only you know."

"That's right. For my eyes only. Extremely classified. I might even have to debrief you later." This was what euphoria felt like. Ever since Navi had said yes, he hadn't stopped smiling, and he felt as if everything in the world was perfect right now. "You are..the only Mrs. McDowell there will ever be." There wasn't any doubt in his mind about it, Navi was the only girl for him. "It sounds great." Honestly, Alec didn't have a given last name, it was something that had been picked for him, but he was glad to share it with Navi.

He kept his forehead leaned against her own, smiling as he looked into her eyes, loving how close she was. "Me too..I like you being all mine. The only one that nows how sexy you can really be."

"Debrief?" She giggled at the double entendre and kissed him on the nose. She couldn't stop giggling or smiling, and she didn't care. She was going to get married. "Good. Because there's nobody else in the world after you, you know."

When Alec met her eyes, she giggled and shivered a bit, kissing him on the cheek. "It's true! Everyone else thinks I'm just a really cute kindergarten teacher."

"I like to be thorough. So a debriefing is definitely on my check list." Of course he was grinning the entire time he was talking. He understood it all now, in ways that would have never made sense to him before. He use to think that marriage was stupid. What kind of guy was going to limit himself to one girl? He was that kind of guy now. The way he loved Navi, he understood completely why people got married, she gave him those kind of feelings. "I don't know what I would have done if you said no." He told her softly. It hadn't been that much of a worry, he knew that she loved him as much as he loved her, so he'd been fairly certain she was going to say yes.

He kissed her softly on the lips a few times, light and quick kisses, he hadn't stopped smiling. "I think they're forgetting the incredibly beautiful part. And the intelligent part...and the perfect part, too. And a lot more."

Navi giggled, and she nuzzled more into his chest. She'd never thought in a million years that she'd fall in love again, never thought that marriage would be a real possibility for her.

"I couldn't have said no," she murmured, looking up at him. "I don't - we go together, silly." She smiled and gave him an eskimo kiss. "And not everyone sees those parts of me. You're nice to."
