PROVE IT

DG and Ambrose laid in bed but apart.

" The wedding was nice. Thank you for your kind words about me." Ambrose said.

" I meant them. "

" You don't have to sleep with me. "

" Ambrose, say to me what said when you admitted you loved me."

" Okay. I told you I had stopped blaming you. That I shouldn't have in the first place. That I felt dirty knowing that part of me had bedded you , the only person who ever danced with me. The little girl who came up to me and was the only person who ever danced with me. The one who told me I had rhythm. The little girl who kissed my hand and said ' Will you dance with me forever.' I said to the little girl ' You'll forget me when your older.' Then the girl said. ' Never, no matter what I will remember you.' But she died soon after and I hated her for leaving me. Then she came back by a miracle but she didn't remember me , not even when most of her memories returned. She chose a new dance partner and didn't care if it was at my expense. So when I came back I vowed revenge against the girl who forgot me.

Then one day in my lab the queen gave me a piece of paper and it said. " I love that you make me laugh I love that you let me dance with you. How to tell you I love you without stuttering or as you say glitching. So I'll wait until I'm older. Then I will be so much bolder. To let you know my love is true and hope you feel the same way too and not see the girl you once knew but the woman she turned into.'' The queen said she had found it in your room shortly after she had sent you to the Other Side. She kept it safe even through everything. I realized then you hadn't forgot me. Glitch had some of my best, albiet not smartest, parts. He saw the woman in you. He was not ashamed of loving you and not look at you as the queen's youngest daughter. Even when part of my brain was taken away and I couldn't remember you in a way I never forgot. Now I know why Glitch called himself Glitch, it was my nickname for you. Watching you with Glitch I saw what the girl I knew wanted me to see. She was a girl in love with me. Me! The girl repelent!"

DG got out of bed. She was wearing one of her husband's loose shirts. " Dance with me." Ambrose got up and gently leaded her in a dance." Am I a woman to you now, Ambrose''. She led his hand down her shirt.

" Yes I see the woman I love not the child I knew."

" Do you feel disgusted still by your feelings, Glitch's feelings?"

" No , I'm not disgusted by the fact you turn me on."

DG pulled back and sat on the bed. " Prove it." He kissed her passionately on the lips and spent the night proving it.
