[Anthony's been quiet while she worked so she can concentrate! He actually did all the chores without even asking about it. He set up dinner and made sure she ate and he finished the dishes and all the curtains are closed and he checked the door, too. Now, he's sitting across the table from her with a mug of tea. He grins at her.]

You did it!

[phoenix_temple]

I don't know if you're my boyfriend or my maid, but I want to keep you here. [Jesus, she didn't have to do anything tonight. She's impressed by him. She's always impressed, but she's really impressed tonight. She smiles at him and it's genuine.] What do you want to do now?

[anequal]

I'm helpful, that's what I am. [He gets to his feet and walks back to the kitchen, returning with her mug of tea and handing it to her.] I don't know. You studied all night. What do you want to do?

[phoenix_temple]

[She will take it and take a sip, happily.] Relax. I'd like to relax.

[anequal]

[He will stand beside her still, grinning.] To the couch?

[phoenix_temple]

Of course. [She rises from her seat and kisses his cheek and takes his hand to pull him there.]

[anequal]

[He'll follow, holding her hand! But he's thoughtful before he sits down, and when he lowers himself down next to her he leans in and kisses her on the mouth.] How're you feeling?

[phoenix_temple]

I'm feeling fine. Why, what's up? [She is pleased by this kiss!]

[anequal]

[a grin] I'm just worrying about my girlfriend. If you're feeling fine, then I'm satisfied.

[phoenix_temple]

[If he's going to be that way, she is going to snuggle herself into his chest because closeness.]

... You know I want to be with you, right? [SINCE YOU'RE SO DAMN CONCERNED ABOUT THE RING.] That sounds kind o stupid, but--you know what I mean.

[anequal]

[he nuzzles her hair and wraps an arm around her.]

I know. I'm sorry I was suspicious of your green haired past man.

[phoenix_temple]

Don't doubt me again. You're my first, regardless of past lives.

[She didn't realize her phrasing there.

She hasn't said "I love you" to him since the snake.]

[anequal]

I won't doubt you. Can I still be competitive? [He hasn't either. And he doesn't ask her to say it again. He kisses the top of her head.]

I'm not a disappointing first though, am I?

[phoenix_temple]

You're nice to my mom, I get to see you all the time, and you do all my chores. [She giggles and looks up to kiss him.] Never leave.

[anequal]

The world could end for all I care and I'll hold on to you until it does. [He returns her kiss. And then doesn't pull away, holding her in his arms.]

[phoenix_temple]

[She's happy to stay in the kiss for a few seconds at least before she pulls back just a little. Her face is a little red.] You're being sappy.

[Not that she minds.]

[anequal]

You like those sappy romance movies, don't you? [He smiles at her. If she wants to kiss again, he will accept.]

[phoenix_temple]

I am not dating a movie. [She does want to kiss him again.] So why are you trying to get on my good side tonight?

[anequal]

I was thinking, actually. [He sits back, taking her along so she's sitting on his outstretched legs.]

We've yet to make out.

[phoenix_temple]

We kiss each other all the time.

[anequal]

But we haven't made out.

[phoenix_temple]

There's a difference?

[Anais omg...]

[anequal]

... Yes.

[He will pause.





Then explain.]

[phoenix_temple]

[Oh. See she's dumb about shit now she's embarrassed that she's dumb about shit.]

Couldn't hurt.

[anequal]

[He kisses her forehead.] If you're sure about it. I don't want to do anything you're uncomfortable with or not ready about?
