Greer came home after exams. She knew Blake had turned in his manuscript to his agent/editor. She headed over to the couch and smiled. There he was in his hoodie. She knew he'd taken his tea so surely he was fine and... When she hugged him from behind he felt different. Like he'd been working out and they had only just started....
Blake looks back at her with a grin. "Well, hello, Gorgeous. Can I tempt you into joining me for some fun?"
"..Chronos?"
"Yep, but that doesn't mean I'm not still your Honey B..." He turned more towards her. "So now that I've answered your question, what's your response to mine...?"
She stepped over the back of the couch and sat down. "Sure but um what were you thinking? And... is younger you ok? I thought he took his tea...."
"I'm perfectly fine, nothing to worry about... As for your other question, I'm kind of in the mood for a stroll. It's getting close to Christmas, right? That means the park is probably quite decked out for the season. That might be really pretty to see... Of course, if you have some other ideas, I'm quite open for suggestions..."
"No a walk is good.... Dewi won't be back for a while or... is this just.. us?" She sounded hopeful.
"Just us, Love. I wanted to make sure I'm spending enough time with just my precious girlfriend sometimes..."
She blushed and got up. "I get lots of time with you.... and honestly I get to hog a lot of time the next few days cause my exams are done but Dewi's aren't." She went to get her boots back on. "Anything I should know?"
"You mean other than you're beautiful and I love you?"
She was feeling very warm. "Apparently I won't need my hat at this rate..... Dewi's right you cheat."
"I'm just using the resources at my disposal... I know you'll find some of your own to use at some point."
Greer walked out, holding his hand and leaning on him. "So... guess the workouts have been kept up with. And you are being nice and smooth.... so.... how do dates like this work? I mean... do you know how long you'll be here I guess?"
"Yes and no...? The same amount of time passes in the future as it does the past so I just need to remember how long past me was in the future to know how long I'll be here..."
“Well this is when you turned in your first manuscript.... hey... is it possible I end up in the future the same time you are switched there?”
"There is the possibility of the power causing both of us to go to the same time... If it actually ever happens is something I'm not going to tell you."
“Well true. Still that’s be weird. Future is on a date back here while past us freaking out in the future” she thought a moment. “If it happens it’ll be during a fight I bet.”
"Nah, if you switch during a fight, you're not likely to be around the person you're mad at... It's part of the whole instincts aspect of my power. If you need some time away from the person to calm down, you'll go to a time when they're not around..."
"...that's gonna be a problem because if you switch then I switch then I'd want to be following you. I mean.... by now you had to see the marathons with me and ma..."
"But it wouldn't work exactly that way because even if we went to the same time we'd be in different locations. The desire is to follow me, but the best the power can do is switch you somewhere where the closest version of me is around you.... Thus likely around when I switch back..."
"oof....well... guess I better tag someone before we get into a fight then so I won't switch. I'll just be more pissed."
Blake chuckles. "I imagine you would be..."
“Then who knows. I might get stuck for years and then younger you will get confused. It’d be a time travel disaster.” She chuckled.
"No~...." Blake pretends to be dramatic as he pulls her closer. "Don't get stuck... It'll take away from our time for dates...."
Greer laughed. "I'll try." As they walked around the park, Greer stopped and looked at a stand that was selling things. She noticed the chain earrings and ear cuffs and gently touched her ears. She seemed to be thinking about something and then... Suddenly started pulling him out of the park. "I know what I want to do and now I get to surprise you."
"Okay... Lead the way, G."
First stop was a barber, Greer went in and got a very particularly styled cut, not dyed just styled.
She then went to a sop nearby that did piercings, talking to them and having them be very specific about where they were in her ear and even took time to pick out the ear rings. She smiled. "Bet you remember now what I'm doing huh?"
"I... I thought you used Dewi's help to do it...."
"No I'm gonna surprise him too... I was gonna hold off. Get it real accurate. But if you panicked today then... you need this today. And fuck my family if they freak out." She went and got her ears pierced and everything set up there before heading to the next place.
They headed into a place that sold prom, homecoming, and other dresses. Greer looked around and smiled as she found one. "This one.... THis looks like the one in the book right? You started typing fast during that scene and I couldn't keep up..."
"Exactly like that one, every detail."
"Awesome, I didn't think I was going to get that lucky." She looked around and laughed as she found the wings and quickly went to check out as soon as it was done she smiled. "Ok...." She gave him a kiss. "Wanna see me in this before you switch back or do something else? I kinda dragged you everywhere..."
"Whichever you want, my forest spirit..."
She started walking back with him, heading down the street and smiling at a bookstore. "Soon your book is gonna be in there... I know it. And then... everyone sees how amazing you are."
Blake smiles too, though it's directed at Greer. "The only people I care about what they think of me are you and Dew. If you two think I'm amazing, then no one else's opinions matter."
She hopped onto a lightly snow covered bench, walking along it. "Then care what I think which is Blake! You are brilliant! Amazing! I am furious more people in the world don't know it yet! And I want to scream at everyone how you light up the night and anyone that meets you for a moment should see you with the awe and excitement saved for shooting stars because only the lucky ones get to see you!" Her voice was a bit loud and some people looking. She put her hands on his shoulders, pressing down and looking at him from above as she was still on the bench. "And I don't know how I managed to grab onto that comment tail.... but I'll never let go even if you ask..." She looked at him, the burst of adrenaline running out as little puffs of steam came out in the cold winter air, looking into his eyes.
"Then it's a good thing I don't plan on asking you to. I've finally ensnared you, my little fae, and now I'm never letting you go..." He wraps his arms partially around her waist as if to pull her closer.
She hopped down and went right for a kiss, smiling. "..Shoulda saved that speech for younger you..."
"And have it end up in the second book? I think it will be much more suited for a scene in book six...."
She looked away a bit, running her fingers through her hair, it was hard to tell if she was blushing or if cold was making her cheeks rosy. "You don't need to put it in any book... it's gonna take me forever to read them anyway." She started walking with him. "...Did you really think Dewi helped me pull this off?"
"I thought maybe you used Dewi's power to make the hair how you wanted it and add holes for the piercings.... That's what Dewi does when he cosplays or needs a certain look."
"You are cute but let's be honest..... I forget obvious solutions like that and go for what I think is practical."She smiled a bit. "Cause I'm the most blond of this group if you recall."
"I don't know... You can be quite non-blonde at times. Really doesn't support your claims..."
She chuckled. "Well that's the honey part isn't it?" She playfully bumped him.
"Hmm~... I wonder if that means you taste as sweet as honey too..." He had a small smirk as he leaned towards her.
She kissed him first and then pulled back, chuckling. "You already know I taste like coffee and peppers. I wake you up and put you on fire." She was walking backwards a bit when she realized her phone was vibrating. She picked up and answered. "Hey Dee. I'm guessing you're done. I'm with Chronos, you at the apartment yet?"
"Not yet. Was thinking of picking up something pre-made for dinner on my way home since Luce and Sato are out tonight.... Just wanted to know if anyone already had something planned and, if not, any preferences for what I should get...?"
"Blakes favorites.... no wait. Remember the feast from the book? Can you grab stuff that matches that a bit? I have a plan.." She giggled. "I'll fill you in when you get to the apartment ok?"
"On it, Princess. I'll meet you two at home."
She took Blakes hand and walked back. After getting back she smiled. "OK sit on the couch and don't move. I'm hoping younger you will stay put if you switch. Write a note if that'll help!" She stuck her head out as Dewi came in. "Set the table! I'll be a minute!"
Blake looks back from the couch. "Sorry I can't help, Dew, but I've been told to stay put for now..." "It's okay, I've got it." Dewi starts setting the table as instructed, finishing before Greer gets back.
Greer smiled, coming out. She tried to match the makeup to the book, had everything on , but was barefoot, and slowly walked over. Dewi could see her, but not Blake or chronos whichever was there presently. She hoped she was timing this well...
Dewi can tell she's trying not to draw Blake's attention yet so he doesn't say anything... His expression, though, screams "wow" and his hair has started turning a pinkish red.
She walked over, seeing he had switched back. Ok she could do this. She stood in front of him, her right foot stepping onto the couch right next to his left side. She leaned in towards him and smiled. "Hello great bard... dare you join the feast of the fae?"
He takes everything in for a moment before replying. "...It would be my greatest honor, your majesty..."
She lightly kisses him before leading him to the table, and kissing Dewi as well. "I had some help from one of my dearest of the court... to honor you."
Blake gives each of them a kiss. "I love it, my lovely muses."
