darius summers, ophelia

Who: Ophelia and Darius
What: Learning to walk in heels
Where: Ophelia's house
When: now-ish
Warnings: deathly levels of cute. Sweetness at a level only insulin will cure.

Ophelia just barely managed her way down the stairs in the heels, clinging onto the railing the entire way. She catches sight of herself in the long mirror and has to laugh.

"I used to have such grace once upon a time..."

The heels are about three inches high...which might not be much, but it was very high for Ophelia. Once she was on level, uncarpeted ground, she was more unsteady, but at the same time, more firm on her feet.

She turned sideways and looked at herself in the mirror again while she stood still. She really did like the way her legs looked in them. And if she was going to wear skirts that hit ever-so-slightly above the knee as she was now, she wanted to look good.

	"Me too," said Darius, the hormonal not quite teenager. "Though people do still talk about you if you dress too scandalously. My mom just didn't give a damn." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"She sounds like a very strong woman," she commented. She'd always admired women like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nodded. "Yeah. Both my parents were really strong. The versions of them here are strong too, of course. It's interesting seeing them so young." He liked them both on their own merit, not just as parental replacements. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"This place seems to...bring different things to each of us, doesn't it?" It could be very confusing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah. Maybe we all get exactly what we need? I've never seen any of the people I knew back home happier than they are here. And nobody seems to be less happy. So maybe this is a place where we're all brought to help us heal from the shittiness of our old world?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ophelia laughed. "Perhaps that is true. In which case, what did I do to earn the privilege of being here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He touched her face softly. "You were a strong, resilient woman born into a time that trampled you into the ground because you weren't male. Here, you can be exactly who you are, without worrying about being censored, or ostracized." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She sighed and closed her eyes, leaning into his hand. "And I like being free." It meant working and being and doing what she liked and having time to think. Not the mindless dronework, not having to temper herself when people were doing the most vile things to her mind. Escaping that was a true blessing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He kissed her cheek softly. "Good." Sometimes people grew in the shape of their cages. Seeing her let go of all that was a very nice thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And she liked kisses too. "I think, dear sir, it is time for lunch." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think you are right, my lady." Slowly, his hand retracted. "Let's see what you've got in the kitchen." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yes, let's." She held onto his shoulder and stepped down from the three inch heels, then grinned up at him.

She could have continued, but thinks her feet have had enough for a while.

"I made a chicken last night so I found a recipe for chicken salad. I think it came out well."

She took out a couple of rolls and the covered dish, along with lettuce and tomato.

"It is rather lonesome to cook for oneself but at least I have plenty of leftovers." She got out plates and utensils. "And there is barley soup on the stove." Everything made by Ophelia; she found the stove made things incredibly easy and the recipes were so easy to follow now!

He followed her as she walked, noting that she was very pretty in just her bare feet as well. She would probably look good to him covered in mud. Not that he wanted to find out.

"That sounds good." He didn't know about how lonesome cooking for one could be, but he nodded. "I'm sorry you feel so lonely. You can call me if you ever get too lonely."

He eyed the food, and his stomach rumbled. Ah, the blessing of being a teenager with a high metabolism. He could always eat.

	"I shall, I promise you that." She made sandwiches for them both, got out the soup, and they sat at the table. "I hear that you are hungry," she said teasingly. "I hope that you like my cooking." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-12-31 05:41 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded. "It's like I can't get full, sometimes. And I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Sandwiches are good." He took a bite, nodding. It was very good. He definitely approved. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ophelia beamed and started on her soup. "I've always eaten like a bird," she said. "But I eat just as much as any man. Just not all at once." All the servings on her plate are noticeably smaller. If she wants more she can get it later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's the best way to do it. I just usually have to schedule my food breaks in, so I try to eat a lot at once." But he would also try not to eat Ophelia out of house and home. He could eat a lot if he put his mind to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She would greatly appreciate that. "You must be very busy," she said. "With lessons and all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-12-31 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes. Thank goodness. I was going crazy doing nothing. I'm just not used to sitting around. And I can't wait to learn more." He took smaller bites than normal, to make the food last. "Plus I want to look my best when we go to Hawaii." Not that he had any weight to loose, but he could gain some more muscle." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I am so looking forward to that. I've been rummaging through my closets for warm weather wear." She's found some really lovely clothing. Though...it's hard for her to imagine that anywhere could be warm enough for such small clothes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeeeaaah. I've got to get some new stuff. Maybe tomorrow." He almost reached for his planner to write in a time for it, but refrained when he realized how dorky that would look. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2009-01-01 04:33 pm UTC (link)
	Ophelia nodded. She couldn't imagine what this trip would be like, having never been more than a mile away from home before. But she was very excited. She leaned her head on Darius's shoulder, sighing happily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, smiling widely. This was very nice. He couldn't wait to spend a week with her. (Reply to this) (Parent)
