Who: Anteros and Psyche
What: Dinner
When: Tonight
Warnings: None yet.

Anteros took his time getting dressed, making sure everything was perfect. He felt something like a school boy, or what he imagined a school boy must feel like, as he got ready for an evening out with psyche. He didn't consider it a date, exactly. They were beyond dating. It was odd, with a few random memories filling some of the gaps in his mind, reminding him that he and Psyche never really clicked, before. His amnesia, whatever the cause, had effectively given him a second chance, and he had started to hope he never regained his full memory. He felt he was doing just fine, the way things were, now. He remembered enough, but not too much. He was content.

"Psyche?" He called to her, rather than simply appearing in her room. He wanted to give her the chance to make an entrance.

	"I know of you. I know you through Eros and our few and far between dealings. But I don't know YOU, Anteros. But I can tell you what I can." She squeezed his thigh in comfort. "What would you like to know?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I really don't want to know anything," Anteros admitted. "I'll either get my memories back, or I won't. I've sort of hit a plateau, where that is concerned, and I'm okay with that. I kind of like who I am, right now. Why ruin it by remembering how much I didn't really like you, before." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ok. Well, if you ever do, just ask. But you should know, it doesn't matter what happened before. It's what you do now that makes a difference." Looking out the window, she squinted her eyes, "Where are we?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We're on the road," Anteros said with a little smirk. "We'll be at the restaurant soon. And I will. I know. I just don't want to fall into old patterns, you know? I don't really like what I have heard, what I have remembered. Seems like I was someone totally different." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And if you were? So? Now is the time to make sure you stay different, if that's what you want. I can tell you I fairly disliked the old you, but I find the new you to be exceptional so far." Her smile was wide and honest (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm glad. noit that you disliked me, but that you like me now. Cause I like you. And I'm really glad, I mean. I know the situation was kind of...fucked up. But, maybe it's all working out the way it should, in the end." He let his right hand drift over to her stomach. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sleepswithlove 2009-03-12 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	Her free hand covered his and she squeezed his lightly. "I know what you mean and yeah,I think it will. Can't you wait until we can feel her kick?" She looked down at their combined hands then looked back up at him, "Anteros, we're having a baby!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	midniteillusion 2009-03-13 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	"We're really having a baby." Anteros smiled. "I thought I hated babies. I can't wait to feel her kick, I can't wait to hold her in my arms and look at her face, and call her mine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think you will be a wonderful father." She smiled at him, but the look in her eyes shuttered a bit. She'd tried very hard not to think of her husband, very hard. But still, he came to her mind every so often and created a bit of an anxious feeling in her stomach. She bit her lip, not wanting to ruin the moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And you'll be a wonderful mother," Anteros said. "It'll work out." Even if he wasn't the rightful father of Psyche's baby, he was the father of the child she carried. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If offered reassurance, one should take it and not question it. "I know. Thank you." She leaned over and kissed his cheek, careful not to distract him from the road, which for some reason never wanted to end. "Good gods, Anteros, are you driving us to Maine?" At really hadn't been that long, but Psyche was not used to travel taking more than a few seconds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	midniteillusion 2009-03-14 01:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Maine? No." Anteros shook his head. "We're nearly there. Relax, enjoy the scenery, Psyche. Ten minutes, at the most." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sleepswithlove 2009-03-14 02:25 pm UTC (link)
	She shook her head, then leaned back and watched him instead of the scenery. It was going by too fast anyway. "You know, the more you use your powers, the more you'll get used to them." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	midniteillusion 2009-03-14 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	Anteros nodded. "I know. And I am. Getting used to it, I mean. And using the powers, a little. I kind of like doing things by hand, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So I suppose this means that you want to decorate the baby's room manually, huh? I don't mind either way, it can be bonding time!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	midniteillusion 2009-03-15 11:27 am UTC (link)
	"I think it would mean more, in the end, than snapping our fingers and having it done for us, don't you?" Anteros kept his focus on driving, as he turned off the main road. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh, I suppose so. Mortal ways tend to be messy and imperfect." She watched him as she spoke and the burning in her belly grew hotter. A need was building. A craving of some sort, but she didn't know what it was for just yet. She hoped that maybe dinner would tamp it down. Maybe she'd have some cheese. No, cheese wasn't it. Her brow creased as she tried to identify it, but failing, she gave up. Her hand on his thigh absently rubbed up and down lightly as she thought.

"But it will be pretty either way. We'll see to that."

	"If we muck it up, we can always cheat, when we have to redo it." He smiled, pulling into the parking lot of a rather ornate greek restaurant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Psyche looked around when he pulled up. Looking back at him her confusion showed. "Greek? In America? Really? Is it at least run by Greeks? It's not one of those chains is it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	midniteillusion 2009-03-15 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Please. Would I bring you to some hokey half assed Greek joint, when you're carrying my child?" Anteros rolled his eyes at her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sleepswithlove 2009-03-17 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, I would hope you wouldn't take anyone to one ever. Americanized Greek is gross. They don't even have greens there! If you don't remember what real Greek food is like, we can go home and get some." She shook her head as she looked at the resturant. "I hope it's good." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think you'll find this place up to your standards, Psyche." Anteros smiled. "Stay where you are. I'm coming around to open your door." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sleepswithlove 2009-03-17 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	"They are your standards to, Ant..." He left the car and she stopped mid-sentence, "...ok." When the opened the door, she stepped out and stood on her toes to give him a sweet kiss, one that might have lingered just a touch too long. "Thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	midniteillusion 2009-03-18 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled a little smile, and slid an arm around her waist. He didn't mind losing a few seconds to a lingering kiss, before he started to lead her toward the door. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She walked with him to the door, and admired the decorations inside as they were seated. "It's not too bad. A little over done on the statues, but all-in-all ok." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
