“I never imagined I would ever fall in love at all.” There had been Sylvie, but it really hadn’t taken long to see how he’d been mistaken about that. She was more representative of the parts of himself that he liked as opposed to a separate person who complimented him. Now he sees her as his sister and one of his closest friends. Someone who he can trust to call him on his shit, but when it comes to a love like what he has with Natasha, it hardly holds a candle.

Honestly, he hopes she keeps her wonder when it comes to his magic. He’ll certainly never tire of impressing her with it. It’s something that is very special to him and showing her his magic any time would always be something he would love to do.

“I can’t say I’ve ever dated anyone before either.” He’s never had any sort of serious relationship. It hasn’t seemed like something very important, not until he met her and felt how connected they truly were. “I am sure there will be some who question us on this. They will think something nefarious is happening because it will seem too quick to them, but they are wrong. I have been waiting for you for over a thousand years. That is hardly quick.” He smiles then and kisses her neck once more. “I think we should commemorate this with an actual date. I should take you to dinner.”

He understands how she feels as he feels the same himself. It’s a tough decision really. Part of him is responding just like she is, and wants it all now, as fast as possible, but another part of him wants to show her off. Have both of their friends and family watch as they join together in matrimony. “What if we do both. What if we have one ceremony as soon as we can, make it official and then we plan for an epic celebration where we can invite everyone we care about to celebrate with us.”
