The Ice Princess, the Knight and the Ice Dragon (bendytimed to Christmas Eve)
Cait slipped her hand in Ty's as they exited the building where they lived. The San Francisco night air was cool and a blanket of fog had settled over the city. The streets were mostly empty despite the early hour. People were home with their friends and loved one as was typical on Christmas Eve.

Tonight was set aside for time with Ty. Tomorrow there would be time to spend with her family (not looking forward to Arthur and Ty being in close quarters) and the Titans. Tonight it was the time for a Christmas tradition. The Ice Princess had to be save from the Ice Dragon by her dashing Knight.

"I'm glad we get to do this," Cait said. Being dead last year made it a little difficult to do last year. Cait couldn't express in words how glad she was that they could do this and what it meant to her.

	The 'wounded' knight flies up to the tower the princess is in, then kneels before her. "You are rescued, m'lady. I believe tradition entitles me to a request of the princess?" Where, their first year, and where this became a tradition, he'd gotten their first kiss from her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ty pauses a moment, focusing himself, relaxing all he can. He holds his sword in both hands, and transmutes it. He's practiced this, studied the formulas, worked on getting it just right so he could do it by rote, turning the blade into something else. "Then will you marry me?" he asks, offering over a white gold ring, studded with diamonds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Cait just /stared/ at the ring. Never in a million years would she have thought he would do /this/ now. Her mouth suddenly went dry and tears filled her eyes. Her heart pounded in her chest and the love she felt for him filled her completed.

Time seemed to slow and the rest of the world disappeared leaving only the two of them.

"Yes," she said as the tears fell from her eyes. "It would be an honor to be your wife."

	He slips the ring onto her finger, resizing and adjusting it mid-movement until its a perfect fit. "I love you, Cait. And nothing would make me happier. I... was starting to think about this months ago... but this was the perfect time, I thought. And we have a lot to think about now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I love you, Tyeler. With all of my heart and then some."

She looked down at the ring and for a moment touched it with her thumb just to make sure this was real and not some dream.

She looked back to him. "We do." Telling Arthur was one of those things, but she was not going to give that thought a second thought. That could wait until later when they would deal with the rest of the world. Right now this was their moment.

"But all of that can wait. Tonight is ours. Nothing else except you and me exists until the morning."

	Cait smiled and then kissed him. "Dinner, a movie with cuddling and then sleeping next to you in your arms." She smiled. "And anything else you can think of." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He pauses, taking a deep breath. "I, uhm..." he flushes a little. "Was thinking, now that we're engaged, and its been... 3 years.... maybe after dinner and a movie, we might... uhm, talk about sex?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-01-22 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	She could feel him through the link they shared and she sent calming thoughts to him. She smiled and put a hand on his cheek. "I would like that," she said softly. "We don't have to. We can wait, but if you feel like you're ready for that step, then we can. I don't want to rush anything or you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2012-01-22 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	"I see so many of your thoughts... I... know its something you've thought about. And I want to stop not being ready for that step, if that makes sense? We don't need to actually do anything, but I'd like to talk about it as an option now, at least." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I have thought about it because I love you and...I don't want to do it or talk about it unless you're ready. If that makes some sense."

She kissed him and then put her forehead against his.

"I am aware of your thoughts and your emotions every second of every waking moment. I know how hard it is for you to maintain control and I don't want to put /any/ undue pressure on you. I love you for who you are and that's not going to change because of sex or the lack thereof."

He takes a deep breath. "And I appreciate that, but I want to be your husband, in all ways. And to be able to be everything to you. And... well, its not just that. I want you... I want to have sex with you. I've just been being careful. Sooner or later, if we're going to take this step, we need to start somewhere. It might be kind of slow... but I want this, for both of us."

	"You are already everything to me," she said and meant it. She would give up the world for him without hesitation and nothing would change that. "I understand what you are saying and we can work on getting there. Just promise me you won't rush or put any pressure on yourself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He can't help but smile. "We've been dating three years, we've seen each other naked a couple times... I think we define not rushed. I'll do my best, and I know you'll be patient with me... but I want sex to be part of our relationship, eventually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-01-22 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	"We've only seen each other naked because of external influences," she pointed out. Not going to even remotely say who was behind them. "I do too and we will eventually get there, but for now, my love, take us home. We can work on that dinner, movie and cuddling." She kissed him. "And talking." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He bubbles them again, making sure she's as stable as can be before teleporting back to their home. "That sounds good." he answers, as the bubble begins fading. "What movie are you in the mood for? I can get that set up while you deal with dinner?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-01-23 12:00 am UTC (link)
	"Any. It's the cuddling I'm in it for." She smiled. "Takeout tonight since we have reason to celebrate. Being Christmas Eve we have a choice of Chinese, Chinese or Chinese." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Surprise me," she told him as she grabbed the phone. "What do you want to eat?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2012-01-23 12:43 am UTC (link)
	"Honey walnut chicken, extra rice, egg rolls... and... ok, surprise it will be." he agrees, shuffling through their collection a bit, before settling on the first Lord of the Rings movie, getting it ready to go while she calls in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait called in the order, ordering what he wanted, what she wanted and a bit extra for tomorrow just in case they ended up home for dinner. She gave him a kiss and left to go get the food. Twenty minutes later she was back home and dishing the food out onto plates. She carried them to the couch and handed Ty's to him. "Here you go, my love," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	By the time she gets back, he has the place cleaned up, dishes all set up, and the movie queued up to run with the push of a button. "Thank you, love. This smells great." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait settled on the couch next to him and started to work on her food. "So what are we watching?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2012-01-23 01:05 am UTC (link)
	He starts into his food, relaxing back into the couch after starting the movie up. "Fellowship of the Ring. Hope that works." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
