pegasus_soldier | Date night

"Yeah, who would have thought...?" Seiya closed his eyes, as her lips found his, and it was an electric kiss, one that sends a shiver of divine pleasure through his body because she said yes. The closeness of her body and her arms around him. He didn't want it to end. This warmth, and the happiness he made her feel. "Yes, I would like that very much."

When the kiss ended, he's in a bit of a daze, head swimming, yet his heart and thoughts are so clear, as he gazes at her longingly. "You must forgive me that I couldn't think of a proper proposal. I just...want you. I mean to say, I want to marry you."

With a sigh, "Shall we take a walk?" He isn't feeling like returning her to her brothers yet, and to keep her by his side, as it's still afternoon. Taking her hand, he leads her on a trail that encircles around the lake, a walk through a beautiful forest.

Somehow, this kiss was different than their previous kisses. It felt so much better. Perhaps knowing that he is going to be her mate helped make it so much better. Everything was so warm and his scent was so much more pronounce.

She smiles as she looks up into his eyes with a love shining in her eyes. "You are forgiven, Darling. It seems like you came up with it right then and there." And now for a teasing smile. "And it worked, didn't it? It got me to say yes."

She nods at the suggestion for a walk and moves in to cuddle him as he holds her hand. She doesn't want to leave his side yet, especially now she knows that he will be her husband and soon. Her brothers will have to deal with it and eventually accept him. But that may not be for a long time.

"We should climb some of these trees, Darling. Or at least pick one of them to be our tree."

He needs to work out the details of their future, but for now, he can't believe she's going to be his future wife. He blushes again as she keeps her body close to him, as he can pick up her soft scent.

Seiya has brothers too, and if he there is one thing he'll be embarrassed about, they will endlessly tease him for having such a cute wife, but he knows they'll be more supportive than Leanne's brothers.

"Already picking trees? I don't think this park has a good tree, and I need to more time to think about which is the best tree, for our tree." Now that she brought up trees, they have to pick the best one that will have a special significance. "But there is a hot spring a few miles away, nestled close by a hill. The hot spring has magical rejuvenation powers. I often go there to heal my aching, sore muscles."

Though...going to the hot springs isn't really on his mind, but if Leanne is interested, he'll show her. As he lead her to a field full of flowers, where colors were bursting with every variety.

"Here, this is where I want to lead you. This field of flowers. This is what I want to bring you to this park for. I thought you would like the flowers, Leanne. There is so many that I don't know which flowers will suit you best."

He found an open patch of grass beneath a shady tree where he falls on it to lie down. "This is my favorite spot because I can take afternoon naps here. I don't get much sleep, you know?"

Looking up, he realized the tree is an oak tree and this is the tree, their tree. "Say Leanne, you speak about trees? How about this one? This is an oak tree and it's my favorite tree. When they make seeds, they leave behind acorns."

She sighs as she continues to cuddle close to him. Fully enjoying being with him. Her future husband. Her brothers may never support or approve of him but honestly... She couldn't see herself with any other man.

Her wings perk up at the mentioning of a hot spring. "A hot spring? I would love to go there one day with you, Darling."

She goes to nuzzle wherever she can on him, cooing. "Well, it will be fun and also, it can be our special place, especially if we are going to elope."

This place was already quite special thanks to Seiya. He made it special because of picking her as a mate. Emerald eyes widen at the sight of all the flowers and she looks up at him before looking back. Okay, she flies up to cover his face in kisses, smiling as much as she can. "It's beautiful! I love it!" More kisses.

Leanne runs into the fields, letting herself roll around in it before smiling as he lies down on the open patch of grass. She smiles and moves to lie down next to him. "Why don't you get much sleep?"

Eye blink as he speaks about this tree and looks up. She closes her eyes to listen carefully before smiling and nodding her head. "It is a very good tree. It would be an honor to have it become our special tree."

"Why I don't get much sleep? Well, I worried about Athena a lot. The gold saints there, they said I don't have to worry." He frowns. "I mean, they treat me like a kid, but I want to be the best knight."

So he explains about the goddess he serves, and the hierarchy of her saints from Gold, Silver, and Bronze, and well...Seiya is on the bottom tier of being a brozen knight. He then describe how he used to live and trained at the Sanctuary and his mentor Marin, though he preferred his hometown, which is a quaint kingdom, where he used to live in an orphanage.

"I'll say, it doesn't matter because only the strength of my cosmos matter." He rambles on. When he realized he's talking a lot about himself, "Huh, say if you like the hotsprings, why don't we go? If you don't mind, as it's a short distance. And Argo here," His horse, which is grazing nearby. "He can carry you there."

Smiling mischievously, he's getting her in trouble, as he meant to keep her longer much to the dismay of her brothers, who will never approve.

She couldn't help but to giggle. "You are definitely not a kid, Seiya." She smiles up at him. "You do have the potential of becoming the best knight of all of them."

A smile grows on her face as she listens to him ramble about himself and his home. She was enjoying it, learning more about the man who is going to become her husband.

She blinks as he suggested going to the hotsprings and a part of her was reminding her that she should go home now but.... "I would love to go. Especially since one of the best knights of Athena will be the one to take me."

She is soooo going to be grounded by the time she gets home.

"You really think so? Thanks, Leanne...for believing in me." He beamed with happiness, as his spirits are high and giddy, giving his princess and future wife a fun day. "Anyway, it won't take long and you'll feel refreshed before I take you home."

The hot springs itself was quite small, but it was a small business run and owned by an old lady. Seiya paid upfront the entrance fee and they quickly learned that the hot spring was split into two, one for ladies only, and the other for men only, and there's no sharing between both.

"Go ahead. It's on me." He kissed her on the cheek. And this is where they split up, and he goes to undress to get a towel in the men's locker room and go to the men section to his enjoy bath in the hot spring.

[OOC: Just realized in the previous tags, that the horse is a rental horse, and not his personal horse. -falls over- His personal horse is named Argo in this story. Though in Next Dimension, Tenma is so creative and named his horse Pegasus.]

She giggles as he starts to beam in happiness. "I do, I can see it in you." She affirms with him, smiling quite a bit. "I know they won't take too long and even if they did... I got to spend that extra time with my future husband."

She was a little grateful for the non-shared baths but at the same time, pouting just a little. She wanted to spend the time with him but yet, she still felt shame over her body.

She giggles as he kissed her cheek and she quickly turns her head to give him a kiss on the lips. "I will need to find some way to repay you for everything you bought for me." And with that, she heads into the women section, taking a few moments to fully get undressed, grabbing a towel and head into the hot springs. Hnnnnn, the water felt so good against her back. She feels like she can stay in here forever. Give her a couple of moments before she goes to start singing.

In the past, Seiya usually bathes alone, spending a long time meditating on his own cosmos, listening to the universe within him. The hot water soothes his aching muscles, harden by battles and getting picked on by the bigger guys at home...that it took him years to fight back and beat them at their own game.

There's a wall that split between them, but he can hear her through the wall. When she started singing, Seiya really sank into the heated water, almost sleepy. The sound of her voice resonant against the walls, and he found her voice comforting. He can get used to it, the sound of his fiance's voice singing to him. So after she finished her song, "Hey, Leanne. I should have brought my guitar. We could have make music together." With a smile, he waited for her to finished her song, and he decides to surprise her with his song as well, to help ease her mind.

"The song is a ballad that I heard it on a radio on my travels. It's about a man who lost his love and he's giving his lover impossible tasks of proving her love to him, and if she completes his tasks, she can be his true love again, but then again...they're not lovers anymore in this tale and the man is only wishing and regretting." He said, explaining the song meaning to her.

She blinks as she hears the sound of his voice. "You play the guitar? I would love to hear you play it one day." The sound of his voice is different now that he became her fiance. She giggles before stopping at the sound of his song and she blushes quite a bit.

Did he know about how Herons courted each other? She continues to blush as she listens. Listens to both his song and explanation.

"Shouldn't the man prove his love to her if he wanted her back? But still, it is a sad tale....." She goes to let out a small sigh before attempting to tease him. "Would I have to perform various tasks in order to stay as your true love?"

"Yeah, I have a guitar, but I left it at home. So I have to bring it to you the next time we meet." He said. He is not aware of the protocols of a heron's courting ritual, and that's something he has to look up...if there is a library in her home castle. Maybe the rules are in the books in her family's library.

"I think that's the best way. The man should be the one to court her and don't give up on her, but I guess every story is different." He soaked in the water for a long time, before thinking up his feelings on the next question.

"No, you don't have to go an extra mile, at least for me. I heard somewhere that in the tale the man is actually an elf, setting up impossible tasks for a mortal lover." Oh elves. That explain much. They're always nitpicky when it comes to mates. "I already like you as you. Leanne is Leanne and because you're special. Not because you're a princess, but because you're kind and you always thought about others, and that means you care."

After soaking in the water long enough, he came out, gets dried and gets dressed waiting for her to come out when she's done. The time is for him to take her home...less he invoked the wrath of her brothers.

"I will look forward to it. Hearing you play." She closes her eyes, trying to imagine what his playing would sound like. "If your playing is anything like your singing voice, then your songs are beautiful." Buuuut then again, she is little bias.

She blushes as he answered her teasing question with such seriousness. "Yeah, an elf would explain it...." She smiles as she blushes. "I am just being me... Nothing more. Nothing less, Darling." So much blushing and fidgets even though he can't see it. "Thank you.... Seiya...."

It really made her happy to hear those words and she closes her eyes and goes to sing again. She stops her song not long before she hears Seiya leaving. Oh? Is it time to leave? She waits a few moments before leaving, drying herself off and then getting dressed, and heading to the front area.

"That was amazing, Darling."

All dressed now and ready to go. He was worried if he didn't take her back in time at least before dinner, her brothers will be mad at him. He thinks she might be a little late.

"I can't wait to play for you then." He said, being chipper. Already he imagines how her voice will be a good complement.

Even with all of that fidgeting and nervous, he's blushing too. "Hey Leanne, relax. I'll take ya' back home. I promise." He paid for her at the desk. "I'm glad you think so and I'm glad you like it. I'll take you back here again if you want."

The sun began to set. Seiya returned the rental horse back to the ranch, and they hopped on the bus, that will take them back to the kingdom, with them sitting together in the back of the window.

"Did you enjoy your day?" He asked her. It was a good day, and he wished he has more good days with her like this. With a smile, he nuzzle her along her jawline and place a kiss on her cheek.

She smiles and giggles as he was blushing and being nervous as well. If she was a little late, then her brothers will just have to deal with that. "I would love that. To come back here again."

She couldn't help but to blush even more at the sight of him. Especially after he sang to her in response to her song. The way back to the bus was quiet, peaceful and nice. She was enjoying his company... Her precious fiance.

She coos as they sat in the back of the window and he nuzzled her jawline. "I loved it... Did you, my Darling?" She chirps and giggles at the kiss. She leans over to return the kiss with one on his cheek. ".... If you like, you can stay for dinner and the night. Especially if it is too late at night for you, once dinner is over." There are plenty of guest rooms in the castle.

So much kisses that Leanne will see silly smiles on him~. He wondered if their love will get stronger? He wished she could kiss him like this forever. It's a lot different when the bus drives them back home to the kingdom. The sun is setting and the orange light through the windows. It feels romantic.

"If we can set up another date, maybe we can do and go somewhere different." He suggested, dreaming up the next date already.

At her offer. "I'm not certain. Would your brothers allow it? To let me eat at their table and stay in the castle? I mean, if not, I wouldn't mind just dropping you off home." Well, maybe the brothers and father mind it, but if Leanne appealed to her mother...

"I am always curious what your castle look like in the inside. I always manage a peek at the front gate, but I don't see much of anything else. I watched a lot of shows and documentaries on how castles are made, but never a real castle in the inside."

So many happy giggles and chirps at the kisses and silly smiles. For each kiss he gives her, she returns it with one of her own. Joy and bliss could not properly describe how she is feeling right now.

"Oh? Where else could we go, Darling?" Otherwise, yes, she will go out with him again.

Emerald eyes blink before nodding her head. "I am positive they will allow it. Reyson was being playful with you earlier." Leanne no, that was not playfulness. "Besides, it will just be for one night." And so much blushing right now. "And... And it's not like you are going to make me your mate tonight."

She fidgets a little before perking up. "Then it is settled! You must stay! It will be no troubles at all! Father and Mother also must meet you as well. I am sure they will love you as much as I love you."

"I have no idea." He said with a mischievous smile. "I feel a little sleepy to think of anything right now, and I usually thought of a new idea in the morning."

"Really you sure? I would love to spend a night in a castle then. Then I can pretend I'm a prince or a wizard living with you~." He winks. And not a lowly bronze knight. "Your castle looks like a castle in the fairytale books and movies that I enjoyed watching and reading."

He blinks when she mentions mating, wondering what that means...he knows what she probably meant, but didn't think it's on the table and in the cards for him. After all, he thought this is the girl he's in love with and enjoys kissing. But the castle is so big with so many rooms. Perhaps Leanne might know of a room where they won't get caught~. If tonight will be his lucky night.

He only laughs. "Then they have to get ready. I hope your chefs served something good. Their meals are legendary around here." Seiya is on cloud nine because he's excited to spend a night in a castle. It sounds like an adventure to him.

"You are going make it into another surprise aren't you?" She mock-pouts, giving him a small nudge. "I can't wait then to go on it with you, my love."

"I am positive~ I have my ways of making everyone agreeable with me." So far, only her mother had said no to her puppy eyes. "You will be the most handsome prince in all the castle then~." She giggles and blinks. "Really? Then, I am glad that it will be my turn to make you happy."

She continues to blush and fidget with her hair at his expression when she mentioned mating. It would be the way to seal the fact that she is his forever and she does know which room would be the best to do it in... No matter how loud they get.

She was grateful for Seiya's laugh and giggles herself. "We don't eat meat but our chefs are the best in all the lands! It wouldn't be proper to let you go hungry." She will have to give him a tour of the castle.

With sparkling puppy eyes, "Huh really? Then that I mean I get to eat good food every day if I'm a prince. Though it would be cool if I'm the wizard too." Poor Seiya doesn't have much money on him, so eating in a restaurant is considered a luxury for him. After the war, he tries to make it, living as a normal civilian, but then again nobody knows of the war between Athena and Hades saved for the saints who fought as it happens in another dimension. "It's been a while since I last eat in a restaurant."

Seiya decides to play clueless for now. He only thinks of it as a possibility. Time passes and night fell as they arrived in the castle. At first, Seiya thinks he's going to drop her off, and then take the cab home, but she's serious in inviting him over for dinner, so thinking it would go well, he went.

...

Time passes and dinner came and go, but eating dinner with her family as he shared a table with them...was interesting, to say the least. The parents are nice and the brothers too, but Seiya is a bit self-conscious too. After dinner is over and her family expects him to leave, he and Leanne are finally alone in the halls.

"Leanne, I know you wanted to show me the castle, but I think your family thinks we're not ready to be together yet." He said, feeling sad. He thinks her mom is nice though. "Though I haven't changed my mind in wanting to marry you, but..." He realized he's really beneath her in rank. She's a princess and he's a knight. This is the moment where his courage started to falter. "I don't have much money on me, but I want to get you a ring." Except the brother is right, he can't afford that. That was on Seiya's mind.

Edited 2018-05-13 18:39 (UTC)

Oh, his expression is cute. Almost too cute! "Yes! We will be able to eat together here everyday! And I will make sure that you are fed well." She leans in and starts to pepper his face with kisses. She wants to keep that smile on his face forever.

Dinner... Dinner wasn't what she hoped it to be. Even she picked up on the hidden insults towards Seiya despite how nice everyone acted. She wouldn't be able to convince them to let him stay the night.

She was frowning a little as they walked in the hallways alone. "I want to marry you too, Seiya." She offers him a small smile before shaking her head. "You don't have to buy me a ring. You have already given me this." She points to the necklace and beams up at him. "We can consider it to our ring." But hnnnnnn..... She reaches over to quickly grab his hand in order to tug him along behind her.

"Follow me, this time.... Follow my lead." It is time to take him to her favorite room.

"I don't have too? Are you sure? But you're a princess. I would think you deserve better." Blinking, he's wondering where's she going to take him. "Awww, that necklace..." He really has given her from his heart.

Looks like he won't be going home tonight as his sense of adventure and curiosity got the best of him. "Huh? Hey, Leanne, where are we going?" He followed along. He really does want to see what her home looks like.

"Your castle...it's awesome. I mean, it's a big house." It's really cute that he's admiring how big of a house the castle is, and with so many staff and servants waiting on foot to serve the royal family and working in the castle. The halls are decorated with furniture, statues, and gallery paintings on the walls. It's not like Athena's manor when he served her years ago.

She smiles and nods her head. "A princess I may be but... I am still just me. This necklace... To me it is far more preacious than anything found in this castle. Because it is you who has given this to me along with those packets of seeds."

She then gains quite the impish look as she winks at him. "Its a surprise." She teases as she leads him deeper.

"Really? I guess it could be considered awesome." She then holds up a finger as she giggles. "We should try to stay out of the soght of others. Like a secret mission." Okay time lead him even more, tugging him out of sight whenever a servant walks past.

"Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of rooms here. My apartment is smaller than most of them by a half size." He is really touched and felt loved when she said his necklace special. While it packed a punch to his wallet, it was worth it, because it symbolized their promise and her smiles.

Being tugged along through the halls, he perked up at the secret mission part. "A surprise? All right..." But he kept himself hush, hush as he followed along, avoiding the servants and guards. Still, what is she up to? He'll just have to find out.

She blinks and frowns a little. Was his place truly so small? She gives his hand a small and gentle squeeze. "Perhaps one day then, you will get to live here."

She giggles and nods her head. Leanne smiles as he perks up and joins in the sneaking around. This.... This day was the best day of her life. She couldn't remember just how happy and the last time she had this much fun.

Through hallways and winding corridors, she leads him until in one quiet hallway, she takes him into one of the middle rooms. There was a small garden inside along with tiny knick-knacks. She puffs up her chest a little. "This is my favorite room, Seiya...." A small sigh. "You can be as loud as you want in her and no one will hear you."

She closes the door and walks back to his side. "If you want to scream or shout about how my family... Their words to you. It will be okay."

"You think so? That'll be neat!" He said with a chuckle, just playing with the idea. Living inside a castle and pretending to a prince...a wizard...or both! His mind is starting creative since he was raised to be a soldier.

"Wow a garden, this is...this is beautiful. Like a dream. Something like I seen in a picture book with faeries--"

This is Leanne's favorite room. He felt honored. And then he stopped mid-sentence, "W-what? No. I won't do that. They're your family. I..." He sighed. "I think you're lucky to have a family. I have brothers and sisters, but we lost our parents. I mean, I related to my brothers as a half-brother and we live in an orphanage. Same father, different mothers. But it almost feels like we're bastards."

He can't believe he admits that. That's one shame about himself he hates to admit. but that's why he felt somewhat inferior. He gave Leanne a hug.

"Family is family. They only want what's best for you. Nobody is perfect. I know I'm not..."
