A Christmas Gem (Darian)

[Shea]

It had been two full weeks since she had been on the academy grounds. She had been to balls, parties, luncheons, showers, and banquets. She was tired. You would think the life of one that was a Baroness would be luxury her husband being the one that had to do all the work. But instead if anything it was the opposite. She had not slept well lately and the wears of planning this wedding was indeed going to be the death of her. If she made it through all this planning and so forth then she would make it through anything.

She sighed softly as she headed to her dorm room waiting for the comforting violet walls with the silver trim and furniture to let her know she was home. Bella had been sent ahead to get everything ready and to inform Darian of her arrival on this night. She yawned softly as the silken folds of her lavender dress hugged her body. Tightly on the bust but it had no straps on her shoulders instead they hugged her upper arm elegantly leaving her beautiful sculptured shoulders to be bare. The skirt flared out after hugging her thin waist and the folds then brushed the floor.

With a wave of her hand her dorm room door swung open and she stepped in with a sigh. Bella was curled up on the moonlight window sill. Snapping her fingers as she touched her jewel the candles in the room lit and cast a soft glow about the room as she strode over to the window and leaned against it gently.

Five.. four.. three.. two .. one..

Enter Darian

[Darian Dumonte]

Darian emerged from the shadows when Shea leaned against the window having arrived in the room as soon as he had heard Bella's call saying that Shea was back. A part of him had wished that he could have been with her during all of it but, at the same time had been dragged everywhere handling family affairs. When nobility married it was a major thing and Darian being in-line to a Ducal family meant he had to take some extravagent pains for the preparation of the ceremony. His arm slipped around her perfect waist and he kissed her cheek gently he wearing semi-formal clothes as well. A black long-sleeve silk shirt with extravagent sapphire trim and detail, long linen pants of similar coloring and etail trim were worn as well. He paled in comparison to Shea's beauty the way the curves of her body were fully displayed by this dress.

"It's been too many seconds, minutes, hours, days without your soothing presence my love," Darian whispered to her in a loving tone as he pulled Shea against him he wearing slippers at this hour. He pulled her against him so she could relax as he placed a glass of spiced wine in her hand. To help her relax and unwind so he could take her to bed. The glows he wore were better suited for sleeping despire the fanciness that was associated with them. He turned her head and placed a soft and romantic kiss on her lips. A kiss that showed just how much he had missed being with her. His fingers gently went through her hair a habit he had developed ever since that first day when they had fallen asleep togeather on her bed. He gave a loving smile and kissed her free hand for a moment his matching engagement ring proudly displayed.

"But, still you should have some contentment in the holidays coming love, and there is nobody who I'd rather spend them with then you Shea Donnovan," he said with a smile at her as he at her as he turned her around so his hazel eyes could gazer in her emerald ones. Those intense emerald depths that he had long since memorized but, always savored the moments he could lose himself in them. He leaned forward and brushed his lips against hers for a moment before placing them firmly against hers in another kiss. He couldn't help it with Shea he always wanted to place a kiss on her lips and feel her response. He saw that she looked tired and merely held her close to him and when his lips parted from hers he spoke again. This time however, it was on a more soothing tone.

"Have that glass to unwind and then we'll lay down at least so you can relax and forget about everything else that's been heckling you these past two weeks," Darian said in a concerned tone.

[Shea]

That arm. It was like pure relaxation the moment it curled around her waist. She sighed softly at the kiss on the cheek and she smiled at the slight silence that stayed between them for a moment. A glass of wine was placed into her hand and she lifted it up swirling it and inhaling the rich scent it was the spiced wine that was her favorite and she took a sip letting the sweet fluid slip down her throat and allow her to begin relaxing.

His words made her smile and she turned her attention from the window and to her fiance. He took her hand gently and pulled him against her. She went willingly and lay her body against his relaxing more in his arms than anywhere. The love o her life was here holding her on the first day she had come back and she was finally relaxing like never before. At least not in the last two weeks. She nuzzled into him gently and closed her eyes. This was what she had needed. All those times she had drank wine to soothe her to sleep were getting old what she needed was the gently touch of the man that was holding her right now.

He tilted her head up and kissed her. She moaned softly. Two weeks. Two long weeks without the kiss or touch of her beloved. They were both pure and from what she understood it was to remain that way until their wedding night. She liked that idea though. Too many couples were jumping the gun and giving up thier purity so fast. But Shea and Darian and discussed and decided to wait. Despite the fact that they wanted children immediatly and were trying to postpone that as long as they could. The kiss that stopped time finally ended and the world began to run again.

He spoke of the Holiday as he turned her to look into his eyes. She smiled as they locked eyes losing each other in the depths. There was something nice about the way Darian and Shea had just clicked. They fought and had their issues but even more than that.. she usually won the fights and that was always nice. He kissed her once more and she kissed him back gently and softy as he pulled her close. She didn't say anything. Didn't really have anything to say to him at all. She wasn't mad or upset just tired and her actions showed all her feelings anyway. He told her to finish her wine and they could lay down together.

"Darian.. my love. I missed you so much." she whispered softly as she leaned against him. She downed the rest of her wine quickly in a very un Shealike move only because she was so tired and that she was ready to lay in his arms. "I should go change." she whispered.

She pulled away from his arms and kissed his cheek gently as she gracefully but exhaustedly made her way to the bathroom where she stepped in and then closed the door. She put her glass on the counter and she unzipped the back of her dress. She let the silken folds fall down to the floor in a pile as she stepped out of it feeling so much lighter with the lack of weight from such a heavy dress. She placed the dress on a hanger gently and hung it in the closet with the other ones she was needed to wear to and from home to remain herself and her station.

She placed two of those skin tight tank tops that drove Darian wild over her small frame. They fit beautifully one black one sky blue as she placed a pair of short running shorts on her bottom as she brushed out her long black hair. She finished rather quickly not really trying to look nice and not really thinking that she was sleeping with Darian instead of alone tonight nor what she had put on. She stepped out of her bathroom after brushing her teeth and turned off the light. Sleepily rubbing her eyes not realizing how pretty or sexy it might seem to her Darian she crossed to the bed and pulled back the covers.

"Darian.. I'm so sorry.. I have.. to sleep." she whispered softly as she lay down on the bed and slid her perfect small dancers body underneath the warm duve covers and left more than enough room for Darian to join her. She closed her eyes gently. She couldn't wait for him to come in and hold her.

[Darian Dumonte]

There are moments in a person's life when you can truly tell that they are deeply in love with the person that they are with. That they are willing to risk anything and everything to see them happy and elated. To ensure that their needs were seen after and to ensure that their desires were sated. It was in this moments that whatever higher power was watching Shea and Darian that their deep love was expressed. A deep and intimate love that rarely required words but, the touches, the soft littles touches they exchanged to relax each other, to enjoy each other, to love each other. Those were there nearly all the time Darian easily sliding into the role of beloved fiance' in a way that far exceeded what many would expect. After all he was quite the hot-tempered young man just like his grandfather.

Yet here Darian was in this room soothing the love of this live. Soothing the woman who's name was holding his heart every day. Breathing life into it in a way that nobody else could ever hope to achieve. Giving his actions purpose and meaning a cause that was so pure not even the church could find anything wrong with it. Darian was devoted to Shea and he had truly been agonized in the two weeks without her. Having Bella and Orchid exchange messages that the other was all right was not enough for Darian. He sensed Shea's need in her return kiss and those sweet little touches that welcomed his physical presence. They both wanted to start a family so badly but, they had agreed to wait till after their wedding. Their first time would be on honeymoon night the location still being finalized. It was sweet and romantic and both Shea and Darian had agreed to it.

After all why do people insist on jumping the gun when there was an eternity of time to spend with that love after the marraige? He could tell she was tired and took no offense when she pulled back from him being silent. He almost smiled at her words. Yes he had already guessed that Shea was tired and exhausted wanting nothing more then to curl up and sleep. That was the reason why Darian had came here so he could fall asleep with hsi arms around the love of his life. He was tired of sleeping without her cozy warmth by his side. They were engaged it should only be fair that they got to soothe each other with a soft presence and touch. To bring the other into a blissful sleep content that they were engaged in peaceful sleep that they brought about togeather.

"I missed you as well Shea my love, an eternity of wait was what it felt like, pure agony to my soul that I was denied your sweet touch and presence," Darian said softly to her as he watched her down the wine and went to change. Orchid that clever cat had coaxed Bella into a very cozy sleeping thing on the windowseat his muzzle and tail running through Bella's fur as they slept. Darian waited patiently and his patience he truly felt like was just bloody well rewarded. She was wearing those tank tops that drove him nots. That ones that begged for him to touch her and make her feel really good. She was wearing the tight ones and short shorts that exposed her long dancer's legs. Shea had a thin but, well-developed body Darian loving every single inch of it. There was not a single flaw within Shea.

"Then we shall sleep togeather my beautiful and very sexy lover," Darian said in a sensual tone as he made his way to the bed and gently slipped into it. Very gently he was in the bed and uncovers with her. Very gently he tilted her head up and gave her a passionate and seductive kiss that he held for a damn full minute. A full minute his lips were connected with hers and he broke the kiss very sweetly at the end.

"Damn the rules even a single day without you is too much never again are either of us traveling alone my sweet Shea," Darian said in soft tone as he held her against him his arms around her. His fingers running through her hair lightly. He closed his eyes gently as he nuzzled the top of her head ready to fall asleep himself now that he had her in his arms.

[Shea]

There were often times in life when you found that person. The single person that made your life worth living. For before them you were alone and you had no one but now.. now you had found that person that not only made you smile but made you feel whole. Because it was hard to find that person, few did, and even times when you thought you had found someone they were not the right ones. Rushing, pushing, and trying to get you to do things you were not ready for. But right now .. in the twilight of the night.. as the moon shone down and cast it's beautiful glow down on the couple below.

Shea exited the bathroom and came over to the man that held her heart. For on that day when he had asked her to marry him they had not only exchanged rings but had exchanged hearts. For now each others were the keeper of the others heart. A gift not given lightly but seriously. A gift that if given right is one forever. And that is what Shea had done. Given him her heart and recieved his own. No matter how far apart they were they were never without the other. Love was indeed between them that epic love that so many yearn for.

He pulled her close and called her beautiful and sexy and she chuckled and blushed softly. He was rarely so forward. Beautiful she had been called before by him but sexy.. never. He had still yet to see her dance and perhaps tomorrow she would finally take him with her. She was nervous she guessed not wanting to express herself to him in quite that way. Because it was true of one thing. When she danced, she DANCED. Danced her heart. Her soul. Her feelings. When she was mad or fustrated you could tell as well as you could tell when she was happy and when she was having the best time of her life.

Darian got down into the bed pushing back the soft quilt and the lavender sheets. He was so cute the way he waited or her to come down to him. She slid down into the bed and turned curling up into his chest. Her head in the crook of his neck her face touching him as her body was pressed up against him chest to chest. She could feel him hold her tightly and his fingers ran through her hair and she sighed. Too many nights without him beside her. Yes, she could sleep without him but that didn't mean she didn't have preferrences.

She nuzzled into him and she felt his fingers still after telling her that he didn't want them to travel alone any longer. She understood the sentiment but it was unlikely. For they weren't really supposed to be sharing a bed together yet .. they had never gone farther than kissing, and kissing only. They were true to their beleifs and Shea's strong sense of religion. Many didn't believe in God but she did. She believed, prayed, and practiced the teachings she had learned since she had been adopted. She loved her life and she felt that God had indeed been a part of who she was now.

"Goodnight, sleep well." she whispered softly. And then she too under the light of the Twilight Moon. Fell into her very own deep sleep.

[Darian Dumonte]

Darian was entwined with her once more in a comfortable position on the bed smiling at his good fortune in that moment. Remembering how he had taken that step forward that had led to that fabulous first day with Shea. How they became good friends and enjoyed the fun-filled days before going a step further. Before admitting the feelings that they had for each other that led them to where they are now. He remembered the prom dance with Shea and that magical evening on how they danced the night away. Enjoying the company of one another as they danced in the beautiful ballroom, stood on the railings that overlooked the moon-lit waters of the Indian Ocean, even the fantastic dinner that they shared at the restaurant. They hadn't stayed for the full prom having went home to enjoy a night of bliss with each other.

The day he had gathered his nerve to propose to Shea was also another magical moment to Darian and he would never forget her face. Never forget that tear-filled reaction when she had accepted the proposal with all her heart. He kissed the top of her head lightly when he felt her curl into him and join him on the bed. He didn't give a pissing hell that they weren't supposed to share the same bed. They had no idea how soothing and wonderful it was to wake up next to the person you loved the most. Wake up full of smiles knowing tomorrow was going to be another magical day. It was just something that he would never ever find something else to rival. Because the day he found something to rival it was the day he had lost faith and love in Shea which he knew would never happen. For she had taken his heart on the day they exchanged rings.

"Good night Shea, my love," Darian said softly as he fell asleep against her under the twilight of the moon and the blissful blessing of the stars. He slept peacefully against her throughout the night his breathing nice and steady. His arms around Shea protectively and lovingly a combination that had always seemed to blend well when it involved her. His fingers had stopped moving but, they were still in her hair. He nestling his face into her hair as well from the warmth that she had. She really was a cuddly girl and he was more then willing to show that he enjoyed those cuddlles as much as hers. There were no interruptions in the night as if everything had been arranged for the two to have a peaceful night in each other's arms. To be togeather that very night and recharge from the time apart.

Morning slowly brought Darian to wakefulness the sun slowly warming him and very gently he kissed Shea's forehead and slipped out of bed. He padded to her kitchen quietly and he gave a smile at his ID as he began to very carefully make breakfast for Shea. English muffins, scrambled eggs, fresh bacon, and even sliced chilled fruit. He was preparing that all for her even getting a pot of her favorite tea on the brew. The sounds of her sleeping and he cooking were the only things going along in the room right then. His fingers moved nimbly over the cooking implements as he worked. Briefly he paused for a moment remembering a flighting image of his dream. The sound of a laughing child calling for mommy and daddy. It warmed him.

[Shea]

Shea had not waken all night. But recently being asleep was hard for her. Not just because it was lonely without the arms of her loved one around her but because the parties and stresses of getting married as a noble were great. She had not really been stressed before. Not like this. Before she had recitals and things with her dancing and violin that had given her a little stress. But this wedding and her having to plan near the entire thing was taking it's toll on the young dancer.

And as Darian rose and kissed her forehead she merely stirred but didn't wake. She was overly tired and being home not to mention laying with the man that she loved very much. She could still remember the first time they had met in the courtyard and Shea's chuckles over Bella's comments because he was staring at the both of them. She remembered all the times they had watched movies and ended up falling asleep cuddling. How they went on a few dates and even played violin's together.

And now she was happy that he had come up to her to inquire about Bella. It was then they had clicked. And for them it wasn't one of those whirlwind romances where you fell in love in a day and were engaged in a week. No for them it was some time before they confessed love, and then the engagement was even further off having only happened recently.

Shea shifted in the bed the covers having fallen off her pale and perfect body. She nuzzled into her pillow and slipped her arm up behind it as she lay on her back. Her shirt lifted just a bit to show her navel as she slept. Her stomach was toned but very flat and she slep her black hair was all over the bed now that Darian had left. It was long thick and black like silk in a way. One leg of hers was bent at the knee and her foot went behind the knee of the one that was still straight. Probably a cute position to be in except she had no idea. The rise and fall of her chest proved that she was still in a deep sleep one that she needed and hadn't gotten in some time. Even the smells of Darian's cooking didn't wake her.

[Darian Dumonte]

Darian came with a tray laden with breakfast and things to add to it to make it more tasty as he saw that Shea was still asleep. He was thankful that she had one of those rollercarts so he simply set the tray on that and rolled it to where it was beside the bed where his sleeping fiance' was sleeping. Shea was still asleep, so he took a few moments to admire her sleeping form even noticing the little things like how her shirt rode up to expose her navel, how one leg was curled up, how her arm was curled under the pillow. Darian took all of those things and stored it neatly in his memories as he leaned over her. A part of him felt guilty of waking his love so soon since she really did look peaceful sleeping but, he wanted her to have some breakfast and then he would let her go to sleep. No sense in skipping an important meal of the day.

Then she'll have me to burrow into again...

Darian thought to himself softly as he leaned down and kissed Shea on the lips sweetly having to manuever his head some to place such a kiss. He held the kiss for a little while so Shea would have a chance to wake up while locked in a sweet kiss. Hah take that fairy tales the reality in the kissing department was wasy better when done right. He watched her eyes open and he parted their lips giving her a kiss on the forehead as his fingers came down and brushed her hair away from her face. He looked at her pale perfection that belonged to her and her alone. Many would accuse him of proposing to her just for her looks and her name and he would shoot them on the spot. Shea was the one who he had truly fallen in love with and he had given her his heart and his deepest trust as she had given him. Both understood the other.

"Shea, love, I know you're tired but, have some breakfast first and then I'll cuddle in bed with you again okay? I made some of your favorites," he whispered to her soothingly as he brought the cover up and settled it over her before sitting in the bed beside her.

[Shea]

The first thing the black headed mage realized was that pressure was being applied to her lips. Slowly she came to consciousness woken from a wonderful dream where she and Darian were done with the wedding. Three black headed children with beautuful hazel and green eyes danced around them as Shea dn Darian walked through a park each of their children with an icecream cone in hand and a messy face.

Her pale green eyes opened slowly and she smiled as Darian broke the kiss. That was the best wake up she had ever had especially after the last few weeks of being away. She groaned softly and shifted her stiff body. She was going to need a good workout this morning but first that breakfast just begged to be eaten and dang it all if she wasn't going to help it. She sat up softly as her hair fell around her body. It was thick and pure black but beautiful too the way it shimmered. He told her that she could go back to bed later and she smiled.

"Honestly, I think I'll dance, and then nap later. Would you like.. to see me dance today?" she asked as she propped herself up on the pillow.

She had never taken Darian to the studio with her. He had seen her in her leotards but never in action and it was probably about time for him to do so. She knew that he had been dying to see her dance and she was finally willing to open that part of herself up to him. she smiled at him softly as she looked over the wonderful food that he had made for her this morning. English muffins, scrambled eggs, fresh bacon, and even sliced chilled fruit. Even the scent of her favorite tea lingered in the air and she smiled looking up at him.

"My my what ever did I do to deserve such special treatment?" she asked with a smile as she took the tray scooting over in the bed so he could sit next to her.

She sat it down and poured them both tea and then took some fruit and bit into it. Shea was probably more of a health nut than most. She was a dancer her body was her temple as they say. She tried to stay fit and she tried to take care of it too. She was still a teenager at heart and she ate her burger or pizza from time to time but for the main part she rarely splurged on anything and Darian knew this without having to be told and that was just another great thing about him.

[Darian Dumonte]

Darian nearly dropped the spoon that he was using to stir some sugar into his tea unable to drink the kind Shea liked without adding sweetener for it. Shea was going to allow him to watch her dance? For real? Darian knew of the times that Shea had gone to dance and he had definantly had a very interesting encounter when she came to a class in leotards. Oh yes Darian remembered that all too well. Because that had surely distracted him during most if not all of the class ever since she came in. He blushed softly remembering that class and his thoughts on that matter. He turned his head to look at her currently sitting beside her on the bed and having moved the tray to where it was over their laps on the bed since theyw ere sitting up. Well he sure as hell wasn't going to say no he had been dying to see it. Indeed he gave a broad smile.

"I would love to see you dance Shea I have been looking forward to the chance for quite sometime now. I recall saying during one of our first days togeather that I was envious of the grace that is often associated with dancers and I have always wanted to see yours. To admire you as you awe me while going across the floor everything focused on you and your grace." Darian admitted with a small blush and a smile for this truly was a good morning if you asked him. He picked up an english muffin half now and lightly buttered it. Darian himself wasn't as much of a health nut as Shea was given the energy that he burned during training but, he did believe in eating balanced meals. He heard her question on what she did to deserve the treatment and he gave a small chuckle as he leaned over and kissed her cheek before whispering in her ear.

"Just being yourself is enough to warrant such special treatment Shea and I really did miss you during the past few weeks." he said with a smile at her as he turned to look at her and sipped his tea gently. Lightly he ate the english muffin half and then picked up a chilled green apple slice and placed it against her lips his eyes gazing into hers as he let her take a bite and ate the other half.

"Maybe after the nap I'll give you a full demonstration of my trick shooting," he offered with a smile at her.

[Shea]

Shea chuckled as Darian faltered for a moment. She knew that he had been longing to see her dance for some time now and he had been very good about being patient. But you see when you dance you let yourself come out. Mind, body, and soul. All your feelings and your true soul seem to leap off the dance and into peoples hearts and minds. It seemed that when she was mad and she danced everyone could tell and when she was happy it was the same. And so that was why she was reluctant to let Darian see her dance but he had waited a long time now and so it was time for him to see her dance.

She was fustrated with the wedding proceedures but they were important and necessary for them. When you had a royal and noble wedding it was a huge chain of events. Sadly they couldn't just run off to a judge and have him do the honors. But that was alright. All this planning and money spent would be beautiful in the end and a day that Shea and Darian were likely never to forget. And one that would leave them married in the eyes of God, Chruch, and Countrymen for the rest of their lives.

He told her that he would love to see her dance and even more than that he was treating her like this because she was special without having to do anything. She smiled and kissed his cheek gently. He fed her a piece of apple and she ate it with a smile as she placed apple jam on her bagel and then began to eat it. Jam at least the kind she ate was healthy and contrary to beliefs she wasn't healthy because she feared gaining weight her hours of dance saw to that. But more because she liked taking care of herself and it required little effort.

"I would love to see you shoot. As I have not danced for you, you have not shown me your shooting outside our mission and classes." she told him with a smile as she picked up a strawberry and then ate it gently smiling. These were fresh. Darian was good at taking care of her.

"We've not spoken of our honey moon, as of late." she said softly and sipped her orange juice. "Where should we go? I honestly don't want to go someplace cliche' like a beach. So many do that, it's a tired tradition, I would like something special. Did you have anything in mind?"

[Darian Dumonte]

Darian gave a soft smile at Shea as he gave a small blush as well when she had kissed his cheek so sweetly and so nicely. That was the thing with Shea if she did those little things just right it would through him gaurd and then he would be looking like a total nitwit. Then again the way Shea did things sometimes you couldn't help but, feel just a tad intimidated or a tad amazed. Shea was a special and unique girl that he was going to hold close to himself for the rest of his life. He was very happy though that she was going to finally take him so he could watch her dance. He had been wanting to see that for quite awhile really so it was a tad exciting as Darian watched her eat. Shea was always the health nut hence why Darian really didn't mind her choice of foods. Heck he could use the good choices though he worked out practically all the junk food he ate.

Keeping in good shape and using his guns to the maximum ability meant that he burned alot of calories so that was his secret really. Therere were no more resets or other crazy stuff as he wanted to make sure that the moment wouldn't be ruined. He gave a smile at her as he leaned over and kissed her forehead. He listened to what she said on how after they napped then they could go to the training grounds. How he could show off his trick shooting for Shea. After they napped he could show her what he had been wanting to show her for quite awhile. So she could be even prouder of him. He smiled and began to eat again as he heard her ask about their honeymoon as well. He had given some thought to it and he paused to wipe his lips and hands.

"Then the plans for today are a date, to answer your question on the honeymoon. I've given it some thought and since we're both in fairly good-shape I'd like to go to the Alps with you for a ski trip," Darian said with a smile.

[Shea]

Shea smiled at him when he told he what he had planned or was thinking about in the least for their honeymoon. She didn't want to go to an island thinking that greatly overdone she wanted to do something they would both remember but would be almost unique unto themselves. She didn't want pictures of her overly pale body on some beach somewhere and she wasn't one for warm climates anyway she was from Wales it was cold there.

And so when he mentioned skiing she lay back in the pillows mostly done having eaten little but she rarely did before a dance because it weighted her down. She thought about that for a few minutes silently as she went to her closet and grabbed her leotards and skirts before disappearing into the bathroom. It was ten minutes later she came out in her drool worthy outfit of her black leotard and the black and blue skirts that she had worn for that class she had been in with him. She slid those two skin tight tank tops on too and chewed on her nail for a moment brushing out her hair.

"I think it's a good idea." she finally said thinking of them in some little cabin in the snow covered alps before a fire and cuddled up together.

She put bobby pins in her mouth and sat at her vanity beginning to pull her long hair up so that she could dance and it wouldn't get in the way. She couldn't help but yawn from time to time and then have to catch all her bobby pins and placed them on her vanity to use them from there instead of her mouth.

"I'll start getting all that together." she said as she stood.

[Darian Dumonte]

Darian smiled at her as he saw that she was objecting to the sugggestion which meant that she was considering it. That was the thing with Shea she never was one to quickly answer prefering to think things through. Sure it meant that it was going to take longer with the wedding plans but, in the end Darian knew that it would be worth it. They would happily celebrate their wedding togeather and they would blissfully move on. It was the way they were even though Shea won most of the arguements Darian didn't mind. With her she was the logical one where he was the impulsive kind of guy. They worked well togeather Darian's magic focused on overall offense with Shea being the support caster. He watched her get up noting she didn't each much breakfast as usual. That's okay he didn't make that much.

He wasn't a heavy breakfast eater and neither was she it seemed as he watched her head to the bathroom with those clothes in hand. Yes those clothes were a weapon in themselves Darian knowing that he would lose if Shea ever used that in a sparring session against him. Yeah...that's right Shea had him beat. Did he mind? No not really. If he was going to be beaten by her then he was going to make sure nobody else beat him making her seem to be the strongest woman in the school. Then Darian would get perks yeah perks and bragging rights for having such a powerful wife. See? It all worked out in the end and it was definantly profitable for Darian when he thought it out just right. He had taken up the dishes and cleaned them by the time she came out and Darian blinked once and twice. Then drooled in his own way.

Up and down...

UP AND FREAKING DOWN!

They were magical in the way they defied gravity...

Yeah...the twins...

Darian smiled when she said it was a good idea and gave a small chuckle as he watched her play a juggling game with her bobby pins when she got up however, Darian shook his head.

"I'll arrange that love as is you're taking too much of the preparations in your hands and wearing yourself down. It's time I pulled my fair share and my family has several private cabins in the Alps. So arranging it will be a breeze," he said with a smile as he had to keep focused.

Focus....focus...

Up and down up and down....

NO NO NO!

Darian shook his head rapidly.

"So let's go so I can be envious of your grace on the dance floor once more," he said with a smile as he left her room with her lettin gher lead the way.

[Shea]

Shea froze when he said he wanted to be the one to set up the honeymoon. She looked at him as she slid the last bobby pin into her hair holding up a strand that had fallen like the annoying little bugger it was. But she looked at him her green eyes studying him. He was wanting to begin helping her plan and she nodded softly.

"If you insist." she said softly. She wasn't going to beg him to give her more responsiblity in fact she didn't mind at all. She would give him moe if only she could but that was really not an option.

And so she grabbed her gym bag and her boom box that had her music in it and headed out of the room. Noticing Darian was still in his night clothes but she didn't say anything. If he wanted to school to see him in his night clothes then she wasn't going to say anything she didn't care. She just wanted to dance that was all she really wanted. And so she led him to the dance studio she always used and she got in. The floor was shimmering and it was glossed and waxed. Not to mention that there were mirrors everywhere that allowed one to see all the angles of the dance.

She sat her music down and smiled as she put the cd in and then placed her ballet slippers on. This was her element and she was saying nothing about it. But she tended to really concentrate on what she did right before she danced and today would be a new kind of dance. And so she pressed play and took her starting position. Already she looked graceful and she hadn't even started yet. But soon she began to spin out of her position and she began to truly dance around her area.

She danced and you could tell how much she really loved to dance. It was in her every move and you could also tell that with her gracefullness she also added elements that were a bit more contemporary. It wasn't something you saw often but it was something she enjoyed playing with. Jumps, ariel spins and so forth were added to her dance as well as she slow graceful moves that were slow and beautiful like an iceskater in the olympics.

Yet suddenly the music began to change to a techno mix that had once been classical but had techno elements. So she broke out into a truly contemporary dance and it was beautiful no matter how she danced, slow and graceful, or fast and fun you could tell that she was in her element and she was damn good at it. She wasn't even breathing heavily as this was child's play for her this wasn't even a hard routine but it was still beautiful, fun, and most of all, ti was her own.
