Who: Soren Skwigelf and Sable Harris.
What: Second dates.
When: This evening.
Where: Sable's flat.
Warnings: PG-13 for swearing and possibly handwaved sexual themes.

He didn't date much. It wasn't out of an active choice on his behalf, but it was more out of traumatic necessity. But after a night of (really random and awkward) revelations, he was ready. He was more than ready; even his father approved of his choice, which was confounding and amazing in and of itself.

But that was why Soren arrived at Sable's shop with two dozen red and pink roses in one hand, and a chef following close behind. The chef was laden with a couple of trays of what smelled to be actual Italian food.

He really hoped she liked Italian.

	He smiled a little to himself and closed his eyes, just letting himself enjoy sitting with her, knowing he could. He opened his eyes after a few moments, and immediately they met hers. "How'd we get so lucky? Even the biggest source of crazy upset in our life is sort of because they care too much, you know?" (Reply to this)

"I guess. I suspect. I don't really know, though, Soren. And I think it's a little different for me. You grew up with your dad. I never met mine, or even knew his name, before a couple of months ago. I've only met yours once. But... can I tell you something? I don't know them well, but it makes me really sad to see how much they hurt each other. It's like they WANT to have one or the other win for good and forever, or give up."

She pulls him close into a tight hug again and sighs.

"Okay. Let's go back up. It's nice and warm and bright up there. We stay down here and keep talking about this, I swear, Soren, I might almost want to cry. Let's go."

	He listened to her speak and then nuzzled her neck with her lips. "Don't cry? Please?" Before she could respond, he'd picked her up and was carrying her by the waist up the steps, singing "Brown-Eyed Girl" under his breath. It was the first song he'd thought of, and once they were up the steps, he started to dance with her, a happy swaying back and forth. (Reply to this)

She gives a surprised squeak and laughs when Soren picks her up. "Don't!" she giggles. "Don't, you'll drop me! I'm too heavy!"

She slips back to her feet when he starts dancing, and she sways with him, being a good dancer herself. She knows the song -- she hums a little with him, but stops because her voice can't quite make the tune smooth -- it's just a little rouch, because he makes her very happy, and everything with him feels very honest, and it touches her how hard her tries to reach her, and how easy it is to reach back.

She isn't crying. She won't. But she sniffles once or twice as they dance back towards her bedroom...

"Pfft, I'm a Skwigelf. I've got Viking blood, you know." He grinned and squeezed a little bit to demonstrate just how strong he was, setting her down gently.

He was glad she was humming with him, but he could tell that she was sniffling a little. "Hey, hey." Once they were in her bedroom, he stopped moving, looking down at her and tipping her head back to meet his eyeline. "You'd tell me if something was wrong, right?"

	Her eyes glitter like captured fairy lights. "Yes," she answers, her voice just a touch strange. "But there's nothing wrong, Soren. This is about what's right." (Reply to this)

	That made him smile a little, and he wrapped his arms around her again. "I know that feeling. I know that feeling a lot." He kissed the top of her hair, chuckling into it. "I am really glad we're not really cousins. I'd never hear the end of it." (Reply to this)

	ex_sable973 2008-08-31 03:52 am UTC (link)
	She laughs at that -- perhaps as if it were funnier than it really is, but when she meets his eyes again, her own are clear and bright as ever. "D'you like to go to sleep with noise on?" she asks. "We could put a movie in..." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2008-08-31 03:55 am UTC (link)
	"Noise is good. I need it to be really dark, but if you have a tie laying around somewhere, they make really good impromptu blindfolds." He blinked after he realized what he'd said, biting his lip and looking sheepish. "For me. To sleep. Promise." (Reply to this)

	She laughs more, and tugs Soren into another deep kiss. "I'm certain I do. Just root through that closet or some drawers, almost everything in here used to belong to whoever I replaced. I'll find a movie. What do you like to watch?" She has a small collection -- DVD and VHS both. (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2008-08-31 03:58 am UTC (link)
	He rooted through the closet, grinning. "Oh, just put on whatever. I'll be watching you anyway until I get sleepy." He was honest, at least. (Reply to this)

"Okay."

She doesn't question permission given to choose -- and when Soren gives her free reign to pick the noise they fall asleep to, tonight that means a bizarre adult cartoon film called Wizards. The basis of the plot is absurd, the animation is dated, and it's absolutely genius. Sable pops the video in and crawls up onto the bed with the remote to turn it off if and when they want.

She watches Soren as the intro music plays.

	Soren returned to the bed with the tie in hand, slipping off his pajama pants at the last pajama pants at the last minute before climbing in. He moved closer to her so he was flush to her side. "This is kind of trippy, but it's nice." He wrapped his arms around her and smiled. (Reply to this)

	"Yeah, well... you told me I could pick. I like the voices in this. They're all sort of... I dunno, old and familiar." She tugs the quilt up and curls with him, tucking his head under her chin. She lays the controller on the bed by her hand and watches, just clinging quietly to him. It's... perfect. (Reply to this)
