Ari jumps up off the stool and turns around. Sorry. You surprised me. And yeah...
Sorry. Matt pulls his knees up to his chest and wraps his arms around them, looking a little miserable. I love you Ari... but... I'm starting to think that getting married right now wouldn't be best for either of us...
Ari goes to sit next to him and puts an arm around him. I heard. Angela told Patty who then told me. And if you don't want that again, I'm okay with that. But she also said why you don't want to...and I don't know what to think.
Why? He leans into her, like her holding him is the most natural thing in the world. His mood seems to improve a great deal too, just by that... I'm not ready yet... There's so much that I have to do... We are just sixteen, sweetheart, and I'm afraid what I want to do in my youth, right now, will leave me to busy to properly care for you...
((Seventeen. :smalltongue: ))
Ari thinks it feels very natural too. But she frowns. Angela's words made it seem like you didn't want to be tied down. Like you didn't think we were going to be in love forever. She forgets about Patty entirely.
((FF is tired. >.< :smalltongue:))
What? No, no... He shakes his head quickly, then rests his head on her shoulder. I want to marry you, or at least spend my life with you, but if I don't do these things first, I'll regret it the rest of my life. Can you... Gods, I hate asking you this, but can you wait for me, Ari? He turns and tries to look her in the eyes for the last part.
Ari looks a little shocked but smiles. Matthew Goswell. I've waited for you through our first dates, my pregnancy, our first marriage, you being with Patty, you being in a coma, and you being with Marle. What in the world makes you think I wont wait for you now? She states this next sentence as a fact. Besides, I didn't tell you this, but I kept your name after the divorce anyway.
He stares at her in surprise, but looks rather happy. Thank you Ari, I love you so much... You divorced me, but still called yourself Ari Goswell? Why?
I love you too. And that's why. Because even though I felt the need for us to be apart for a while, I still loved you and was secretly proud and glad that you even picked me.
Matt blushes and kisses her gently. I'm sorry I'm always away... But I'll stay with you tonight... In a short bit he'll lie down and snuggle with her before falling asleep in her arms.
Being kicked off, goodnight Moofin!
Ari falls asleep with a smile on her lips.
Matt, or at least a plotclone of him, is still lying in bed with Ari.
Ari wakes up and gets dressed.
Matt is still dressed, having taken off neither his nor Ari's clothes before falling asleep cuddling her, but watches Ari anyways.
Well she was in a robe so...yeah. She's still getting dressed.
Ah, nevermind then.
Matt sits up and stretches, trying to gauge her current mood.
The bright colors she's decided to wear might be a given. Or the smile plastered to her face as she turns around. Oh hi. I didn't wake you did I?
*Pokes Moofin to her emails* >.>
He stands, grinning back. No, you didn't. Feeling well?
((I read it. Yay.))
Ari smiles and shrugs. She sits on the end of the bed.
Yeah. I like hanging out, just us.
Me too. He lies down, resting his head in her lap so he can smile up at her.
She smiles down at him and strokes his head.
So I think when you leave, I'm going to go back with you.
HALO's probably a better place, yeah... His expression is one of utter contentment.
She kisses his forehead.
Patty will be disappointed. She likes it here.
She can stay here for as long as she wants... Plus, she has a "friend" here! Matt sits up, giving in to the urge to kiss Ari passionately. Gods, I love you...
This shocks Ari. She puts her forehead against his. I love you too...
Matt wraps his arms around her, deepening the kiss. Damn, I'm starting to change my mind about leaving again...
Ari sits up on her knees and breaks away. Don't you remember? I'm coming with you. She grins.
Uhuh... He falls backward, trying to pull her on top of him. But here, tonight, we have privacy...
She does end up on top of him, though rather slowly. It's been a while since we've done this hasn't it?
Too long, I think... I remember our first time... He smiles at the memory, but is worried she's not interested right now.
