WHO: Neal & BB
WHAT: Valentine's
WHERE: Their home, to begin with
WARNINGS: Oh, I'm thinking so.

Neal had gotten off work in a good mood. He'd visited a little shop in Greenwich Village and managed to find something he thought BB would love, in addition to the necklace he'd gotten. He felt better about this gift. It was more personal.

He walked in the door, looking around, wondering if she was home. "Beebs? You there? It's me." They still had to be sort of careful, even if Keller had been dormant for a little while.

	"I'm here!" She was wearing one of his t-shirts and a pair of his boxers. In her hands was a large present, wrapped gaily in shiny red paper. A smaller one was underneath it, wrapped the same way. Curled up on the sofa, she smiled to herself, wondering if he'd like his gifts. (Reply to this)

	Neal came into the room, smiling and leaning down to kiss her. "Hey. How're you? How's things been here?" Had everything been safe? It seemed like it, but still. He sat down next to her, taking her hand. (Reply to this)

	"Hey." She kissed him gently, nuzzling closer. "Everything's been fine. So, I managed to get you and I tickets to a hot bar for tonight. They sold out in four minutes. The thing is, it's themed." She twined her fingers through his, sighing contently. (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2012-02-15 05:59 am UTC (link)
	"Themed?" Neal echoed, raising an eyebrow. "As what?" Call him curious. BB wouldn't do anything horrible to him, though. (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2012-02-15 06:06 am UTC (link)
	"Prohibition! The dress code and the drinks. But your presents first." She got onto her knees, grinning impishly at him. "You'll like them both. The big box first, please." (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2012-02-15 06:10 am UTC (link)
	"Okay." Neal chuckled. Prohibition could be a lot of fun, as themes went. "Would you mind going to get my briefcase? Your presents are in there." Both the necklace he'd gotten her and the slightly larger present he'd gotten from the Greenwich Village shop. (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2012-02-15 06:16 am UTC (link)
	She nodded, standing up. "Don't you dare try to peek under the tape while I'm up. No shaking either." She knew that he was a twelve year old, so she'd thrown his suit in a box, then put that box in a bigger box that she'd put a rock inside of. (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2012-02-15 06:24 am UTC (link)
	Of course, Neal did shake the box surreptitiously, blinking at its weight. What the hell had she gotten him? He wanted her to open hers, so when she got back, he said, "We should take turns, because I'm kind of excited to see what you think of yours." (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2012-02-15 06:31 am UTC (link)
	BB nodded. "I'm excited too." She handed him his suitcase, grinning impishly at him. "Remember, the big one first!" (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2012-02-15 06:41 am UTC (link)
	"Okay, okay." Neal chuckled. He took off the paper, opening the first box and blinking. "A ... rock?" The hell? (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2012-02-15 06:48 am UTC (link)
	BB laughed. "I knew you'd shake it, you toddler. Open the other box inside it." She smirked, stretching her legs out in front of her. She'd been thrifting late last year for shirts for herself, and while out and about, she'd found a vintage 1986 Thomas Pink suit from London. Immediately, she'd bought it and saved it for this day. (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2012-02-15 07:07 am UTC (link)
	"Okay." Neal laughed. She did know him, he had to admit. He opened the other box, turning aside the tissue paper and smiling. It was a suit, but on looking at the tag, he laughed. "Thomas Pink?" How vintage was this? (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2012-02-15 07:15 am UTC (link)
	"It was made in London." She blushed, waiting for him to notice the '1986' in tiny stitching on the label. "I knew you'd like it, and it's your size. You shouldn't have to have Aron adjust it much at all." She knew his measurements. (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2012-02-15 07:29 am UTC (link)
	He was inspecting it, looking at the pattern, and when he came across the label, Neal blinked hard. "Wait. This is actually vintage." He looked up at her, even more delighted. "Where did you find this in London?" What a stroke of luck. This was incredible. (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2012-02-16 04:35 am UTC (link)
	"I didn't. I found it at the Salvation Army on 42nd." She smiled, leaning back and looking at how wide and happy his eyes were. It was so heartbreakingly childlike, she wanted to reach over and fuss with his hair. (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2012-02-16 04:41 am UTC (link)
	He laughed. "I ... I love it." Neal really couldn't have been much happier, honestly. She knew what he loved and was happy to make him happy. And he felt the same way about her. He kissed her impulsively, hands on her cheeks, barely breathing until it broke. "Thank you," Neal murmured, smiling in a way he knew would look shy. It was just, well, humbling. (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2012-02-16 04:44 am UTC (link)
	The kiss made what wasn't melty and happy within her heart crumble, and she moved into it, melting forward and kissing him with such love that she felt like she'd never exist in another moment again. "You're welcome," she murmured. "And you haven't even seen the other gift yet. But that's more for me, really." (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2012-02-16 04:50 am UTC (link)
	Neal laughed. "Is it some kind of tight fitting underwear?" He was mostly teasing. He just felt goofy and silly and light. "You have to open one of mine for you. Please?" He took the thin package out of his briefcase. (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2012-02-16 04:55 am UTC (link)
	She took the thin package from him, smiling as she opened it. "Oh, Caffrey, it's gorgeous." It was a platinum chain with a small black diamond hanging from the end; simple, understated, elegant - and totally something that they both loved. She turned away from him and lifted up her hair so he could put it around her neck. "You spoil me." (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2012-02-16 05:07 am UTC (link)
	"That's not even the one I was excited for you to see." Neal chuckled. He slid the necklace around her neck, fixing the clasp and smoothing it down. "But I saw this and thought of you, so. Yeah." He smiled, brushing her hair away from her face. "Do you want to open my other one or you want me to open yours?" (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2012-02-16 05:33 am UTC (link)
	"Um. I'm super proud of my last one, so I can go again if you want." She took the package in her hands and straddled Neal's lap while she opened it, her forehead resting on his. They were ballet slippers. They were obviously used, older, and lovely. "Oh, Caffrey." Her voice was barely a whisper. (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2012-02-16 05:38 am UTC (link)
	Neal smiled, nervous yet not. "They belonged to Anneli Alhanko," he told her. "The only Swedish woman to be granted the title of prima assoluta." To be named a prima assoluta was like being named a Nobel winner; only ten women had ever had the title. (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2012-02-16 05:41 am UTC (link)
	BB nearly dropped them. Her eyes filled with happy, content tears, and she closed them. "I'll have to dance in them for you someday. You've never seen me dance, not really." Wiping her eyes, she laughed nervously and shook her head. "Suddenly my second present seems silly." (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2012-02-16 06:01 am UTC (link)
	"I would love to see you dance." Neal said softly. But her laugh made him laugh. "BB, I'm sure it's fine. If you picked out something, I'm sure I'll like it." (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2012-02-16 06:21 am UTC (link)
	She couldn't help but giggle at that. "Picked out isn't... quite the word." She waited for him to open his other package, delighting in how confused he'd look when he saw what was inside. (Reply to this)
