faun

[shesepankh]

Saturday morning sees Bella with her notebooks about magic all in her knapsack, her medallion safety-pinned by its chain to her bra just in case she trips the wrong way, waiting with Charlie for pickup for the Avalon trip.

Okay! That works, too! Darren is supportive of both experimentation and practice!

[shesepankh]

Yaaaay!

Kissing is fun. Bella thinks she sort of has the gist of it after a few times!

[castmyown]

Kissing is very fun! Darren's gotten the gist of it, too. While they're in a dad-uninhabited and Savannah-free zone - kisses!

[shesepankh]

They could probably lose track of time like this. If they weren't careful.



Nope, it totally starts raining on them. Bella ducks into the driver's seat, giggling.

[castmyown]

Darren flees to the passenger seat, laughing. "Of course it had to start raining."

[shesepankh]

"It's Forks! It would be incomplete without near-constant rain!"

She leans over the gearshift and curves her hand around the back of his head and kisses him again.

[castmyown]

"Yeah," agrees Darren. "So I'm not surprised, just exasperated."

He is also supportive of in-car kisses, too. Kiss!

[shesepankh]

Eventually, Bella consults the clock in the car.

"Getting late. I should probably drive you home and call my dad," she sighs.

[castmyown]

"There can be future dates," says Darren with a smile. "If you'd like to have them."

[shesepankh]

"There should be lots, I think!"

[castmyown]

Darren grins broadly, then - leans over and kisses her, briefly. "I think so, too!"

[shesepankh]

One more kiss.

Then she buckles her seatbelt and puts the key in the ignition.

[castmyown]

Yeah, Darren will buckle his, too. Because safety.

Homeward they go. He'll be grinning a goofy grin all the way there.

[shesepankh]

She's looking pretty smiley too!

"Dates and magic lessons, our lives are pretty awesome."

[castmyown]

"They really are!" agrees Darren. "Just wait until we're epic level wizards! That'll be awesome!"

[shesepankh]

"It will! Do you suppose we'll look good in those stars-and-moons pointy hats?"

[castmyown]

"Don't be ridiculous. Of course we will."

[shesepankh]

"Awesome. New default outfit for after I found Hogwarts-still-needs-a-better-name."

[castmyown]

"As long as you have the fancy robe to match. You have to fit the style."

[shesepankh]

"Robes seem so impractical, though. All that swooshing around and the big sleeves."

[castmyown]

"Yes, but think of the effect on your students! They show up at not-Hogwarts, excited to learn about magic - and who stands before them but an epic level wizard in the fancy robe with a matching hat. Besides, you can always get the type without the big sleeves. The swooshing around is a benefit, not a downside."

[shesepankh]

"I don't think I want to swoosh! There is a reason I am a jeans person and not a flowy dresses person. Maybe a calf-length sleeveless version? Would that work?"

[castmyown]

"Oh, fine. If you have sufficiently fancy shoes."

[shesepankh]

"I could rock some neat boots, maybe. I don't know, I barely think about shoes. Do you have shoe opinions? Should I be using you for your shoe opinions?"

[castmyown]

Darren snickers. "I have some shoe opinions. Savannah occasionally makes me shop for her, she likes the results but not the shopping and I tolerate it."
