Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: Another arc has been finished. Yay me! For those of you who don't know, I've posted a list of the order my Benverse fics will take place. Just so you're all aware. Also, keep in mind this chapter takes place immediately after the last one, so it's still Kitty's birthday. We good? Good!

KCL: But I like teasing my fangirls! It gives me the laughs!

Prompt 53: Warmth

Alistair had sliced the cake and the two were currently eating a slice. Kitty's eyes fluttered in delight as she bit into the cake. "This tastes so good," she moaned, going in for another bite.

Alistair chuckled. "You and cake. I expected it to be Lizzie's thing, not yours."

"On the contrary, Lizzie loves cake," Neb's voice called. The couple turned to the window to see Neb cleaning the windows. "Sorry to interrupt. I was bored."

"No worries Neb!" Alistair called. He turned to Kitty and rolled his eyes. "Why do I get the feeling he's stalking us as a couple?"

"He's Neb. He does whatever he wants," Kitty started.

"…and gets away with it," Alistair finished with a sigh. The couple was silent for a moment before they laughed. "Seriously, why do we laugh every time we talk about him?"

"I think it's because he's insane," Kitty said.

"I can still hear you," Neb said, rolling his eyes. "Whatever. Lizzie's room?"

"Two windows to the left," Alistair called.

"Thank you."

Kitty rolled her eyes as Alistair turned her head to her. "He really is a stalker, isn't he?" Kitty asked him.

"It's Lizzie. She'll rip his head off," Alistair shrugged. Kitty giggled and Alistair chuckled. They stared at each other for a moment before Alistair stood up and walked over to a radio. Kitty cocked her head.

"What's that for?" she asked him.

Alistair smiled at her. "Can you stand up and move around?" he asked her.

Kitty cocked her head to the side. "Not for a long time, but yeah, I can walk," she said, slowly rising from the table. Alistair smiled and played a song. Kitty recognized it… from the dance a few days earlier.

"I promised you a dance Kitty," he smiled, stretching out his hand. "Mind if we do this now?"

Kitty beamed and grabbed his hand. "I'd love to," she giggled.

With that, the two got in position and began to dance. Kitty wobbled a little, but managed to remain stable as she danced with Alistair. Kitty giggled as they swayed back and forth.

"This is so…" she started to say.

"Romantic?" Alistair offered.

"Silly!" Kitty giggled. "But I love it. Thanks Alistair."

"Anything," he said. They danced for a little while longer. "I find it funny. Whenever we're close, you're always so warm. Any reason why?"

Kitty blushed. "It's because… I'm always so… flustered when I'm with you," she said. "I love you… and you make me flutter. That must be why."

Alistair smiled. "Must be," he said. "Just know… I feel warm inside whenever I'm close to you too. Must be the case of the flutters going around."

"The case of the flutters? That was the best line you could come up with?" Neb said blandly, popping back in the window. "I guess I can't really complain. I'm the one who wrote it down in the first place."

"We're kind of busy Neb," Kitty giggled, rolling her eyes.

"Oh, right. I totally didn't know you were having a romantic moment," Neb said sarcastically. "You may kiss the bride. Oh wait, that hasn't happened yet. Had to tease my fangirls sometime this chapter. That's right KCL, I'm looking right at you."

"Neb?" Alistair and Kitty said together.

"What?"

"Please leave our window."

"Oh right, sorry. Off on a tangent again," Neb shrugged. He then turned to the side. "Hey Lizzie? Can I come toward your window and not be smacked across the face?" A croquet ball smacked Neb in the face, making him fall from the window. "Taking that as a maybe!"

Kitty and Alistair laughed and looked back at each together with smiles. "You know… we could take his advice," Alistair said. "About the kissing, I mean. Marriage later."

Kitty smiled and leaned close to Alistair. "I like that idea a lot," she whispered and their lips connected. They felt the warmth and the love as they continued the kiss, smiling into each other.

BN: I feel as though that this was probably the perfect end to this arc. It had romance, clichés, hints of a wedding that probably is just a random fluke, and comedy from the author. Since when do you get all of that rolled into one package? Here's a hint: you don't until now! Yay!

Also, the next arc begins next chapter. This arc is going to be called the Maddie arc. Take from that what you will, it's going to be amazing! I'M GOING TO LOVE IT! If you love it or not, you decide.
