Prompt: Elegant and Intriguing (November Writer's Choice)
Chapter 4 – Official
They haven't been together for very long before they start talking about marriage. True, they have been partnered together for years but this is a different sort of together and even though they know each other better than any other person alive, part of him can't help but feel like they might be taking things a bit fast. Every time he thinks that, though, the greater part of him remembers that she is his life so why should they wait any longer to make what they have official?
One of the first things she tells him is that she doesn't want a big wedding. She's already had white lace and pearls and she didn't even want it then and she doesn't want it now. He can't help his tangible relief at her statement because he doesn't know if he can take a huge wedding with her side of the church full while his is empty. But he's getting ahead of himself now because they're just talking; they haven't made anything official and he isn't even sure he's planning on making it official so soon.
They're sitting on the couch together talking about this, the TV providing a pleasant background noise to their conversation and she asks him what he wants. He knows that she's talking about weddings but that doesn't stop him from answering with a single word before pressing his lips against hers: you.
