Who: Darius and Ophelia
When: Tuesday morning
Where: Casa Del Ophelia
What: Explanations, glompage
Warnings: will update if there's anything, mild language for the moment.

Darius wondered how many times he was going to be nervously waiting on Ophelia's door step, hoping that things would go well. He trusted her to accept him and his world, but he couldn't let the fear of rejection go entirely. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that he was still furious with Sophie, though he figured that would fade with time. She hadn't harmed him, but he was so exhausted that it was difficult not to fly off the handle.

The coffee in his hands was warm, and Darius felt as though that was the only thing keeping him awake at the moment. Well, beside the nervousness, of course. He knocked loudly, hoping he wasn't too early.

	He nodded. "And if you don't like it, no harm done. We can move on to something else. Maybe we could take kickboxing together, or something dorky like that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She laughed. "I cannot imagine but I will try anything once." Ophelia has done no type of martial art in her life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think that would be kind of neat. I imagine once you got the hang of it you'd decide you enjoyed it." He winked at her, and planted a kiss on her cheek. "But one thing at a time, I think." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She blushed a little as he kissed her cheek. "Yes, one thing at a time." It was all very exciting. "I just...have a difficult time envisioning myself doing...anything but flower arranging." She laughed. "Especially since all I was meant to do was be a good wife and bear children." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"There's nothing wrong with that. But there's stuff you can do at the same time. My mom was a good wife, had three kids, took care of us, ran a school, and fought evil all at the same time." He grinned sheepishly. "Beside, kids benefit from having well rounded parents." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ophelia nodded. "I suppose so. And...the fathers help, these days, don't they?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Men worthy of the name do. Not always, sadly, but it's more common."

If he had kids, he'd be a part of their lives. He loved kids, and knew that when the time came, he would embrace that life eagerly. "It's important to have a balance. You can't have one parent cooped up all the time, and one absent all the time. Kids require teamwork, and sometimes you need a break from the stress."

	Ophelia nodded. "Yes. Children can be very stressful. And delightful." She leaned her head on his shoulder. "I'm glad you came over today." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tightly for a moment. "Me too. You just make everything seem better. Talking to you is always a joy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2009-03-21 11:23 pm UTC (link)
	"I am glad. You make me happy." She didn't know what that meant, all she knew was that her heart leapt for joy whenever she saw him or heard his voice, or just an entry on the comm. Ophelia didn't try to analyze it. It just was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That was enough for Darius. He felt no need to rush his relationship with her, and honestly he didn't know what he was ready for. Best to just take things slowly and see where they wound up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's the best for both of them, really. Breakfast was nearly done. "Would you like to watch a movie or something? I've got a huge collection of them I've never seen. You can explain what they're talking about to me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2009-03-21 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Sure. How about The Princess Bride? Then I'll need a nap. But it's a good movie, and I think you'd like it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2009-03-21 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	"That sounds like fun." Maybe she can sneak in to cuddle with him while he naps! Ophelia likes cuddling very much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2009-03-21 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	Darius is definitely up for some cuddling. "Awesome. Let's go park on the couch." He stood, offering his hand to Ophelia. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She takes his hand and they walk to the living room. They found the movie and popped it in, and Ophelia immediately made herself comfortable snuggled against him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He wrapped his arms around her, fully intending to pay attention. But it was a soothing movie, and reminded him of the movie nights when the adults had let the kids all stay up. He could even hear Kurt reciting along with the movie. His head rested on her shoulder, and he relaxed into her, content just to be there for a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent)
