Day 7: Nathaniel at Night
Buzzkill inspired :)
"Why are you here?" Queen Bee sneered at Paon who was casually leaning against Chloe's hotel balcony.
"To pick a fight with you of course, why do you think I'm here?" His voice had a playful sarcastic lithe and He turned to face her. She had snuck up behind him and didn't notice what was in his hands. He held out some flowers to her scowling face.
"You are late! And there was an Akuma!" She snatched the flowers from his hand and smelled them, sunflowers, and her favorite. A smile replaced her anger as he strode closer to her, when he reached her she threw her arms over his head and around his neck. "You are lucky you weren't there, I was ruthless tonight."
"I'm sure you were, but I'm here now, and I'll need that miraculous sweetheart." Paon leaned down and placed a soft kiss to her lips. She rose on her tiptoes to meet him and try and deepen it. Quick as a whip he swept his Queen up into his arms and carried her inside to her bedroom. He reached for her miraculous, he liked her with her hair down anyway but her hand stopped his.
"I can drop my own transformation Nathaniel." Chloe gigged out the words needed and set the flowers on her vanity. The gasp from behind her made her smirk at him through her mirror. "Like what I wore, too bad you were late." She spun and leaned against the table, heels, stockings, garter, she was covered head to toe in lace and feathers, peacock feathers.
Nathaniel was in awe of her beauty, she was wearing his theme. The only reason he was late was to pick up flowers and then had to run across rooftops to be on time. When he got close he saw Bee fly off toward the sirens and figured there was an Akuma. Not wanting to get in her way he waited on the balcony for her. The city was gorgeous at night and he was soaking in the moonlight. Since their truce their friendship turned into a relationship and Chloe was terrible with keeping her identity a secret once she got comfortable with him. Nathaniel loved the night, the air, the lights, the smells and sounds. Paris was his city and Nathaniel was glad he found someone to share his love with, Chloe loves the city just as much as he does. He couldn't be sure what she had planned but that Akuma would have interrupted anyway. Her smirk was so confident, leaning on her vanity she was a dream come true for his miraculous themed fantasies.
"You're gorgeous, loving the theme." Paon released his transformation and took the broach off while stepping closer to her. Chloe said nothing and stayed put, leaning her head up slightly to look at his tall form. Nathaniel reached into her hair and pulled the bee comb from her hair and set it with his miraculous on the table. Her hair tumbled around her shoulders and he couldn't help but run his hand through her honey blond locks. Never one for waiting too long, Chloe pounced on him, throwing herself into his arms and kissing him. He kissed her back with equal passion but he still had something to do first so he pulled back after a few minutes and sat them both on her bed.
"Why'd you stop" Her pout was adorable and he almost wanted to keep kissing her than do what he wanted ever since he saw it. Nathaniel got down on one knee in front of her and took her hands in his.
"Chloe Bourgeois, my Queen, from enemies to friends to lovers you have completely stolen my heart. From the first fight you took my breath away, both with your beauty and your punches." He chuckled and she stared at shock trying to process what happening. "That first kiss we had also stole my breath and I knew I couldn't fight you anymore because I wanted to be with you. You accepted a truce and this year together has been the best compared to the first. You accepted me then and now if you would do me the honor of accepting me one last time I promise I'll do everything in my power to make you the happiest woman in the world. Chloe Cecilia Bourgeois, will you marry me?" Pulling the small box from his pocket he popped it open for her eyes. The center was a teardrop diamond surrounded by two sapphires, it was everything she could have dreamed of and more. Nathaniel wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled as wide as she was, his fingers brushing her cheek reminded her that she didn't actually give him an answer outside of shouting 'Yes!' over and over in her mind.
"Oui! Oh Mon Dieu! Yes!" Chloe knocked him to the floor in a full body hug, she reached for the ring to slip it on her finger while he laughed and held her tight, burying his face in her neck. Embracing one another, Nathaniel realized why the night was so great, it led to opportunities and the only thing waiting at the end of the night was a new day.
Wow! I finally finished the whole week! Hope you enjoyed!
