The Deck, early evening Thursday

Dinah had hamburgers and hot dogs, some veggie platters and chips and dip, soft drinks and cake. Oh, and ice cream in the fridge inside for later.

Happy birthday, Will Shakespeare! Oh, and her too.

[very limited OCD about to go up!, for early justice and time zones; set before Dress Rehearsal/Previews.

Anyone welcome, even if you don't know her! I'm sticking to Dinah's thread to keep it simple.]

"Well, no. But nothing's normal around here. They could!" If Chuck Bass didn't get to them first.

Francine sighed. "I like having you as my cookie knight. I just don't need protection from cake." Yes, she did.

"What if the cake attacks without warning." A beat. "My lady."

"Cake always warns you," Francine assured him. "You can see the sunlight glinting off the frosting."

Merlin grabbed a fork, holding it out like a sword. "It would stand no chance against me! My prowess in battle is legendary."

Francine giggled at him for a moment. "I'm impressed. Very...rugged."

"Do you doubt me?" Merlin asked, chin held high.

"Never." Which was also the answer to Have I ever been rugged? but shhh.

He was with a beard! That one time...

Dropping the fork, Merlin went on knee and reached for her hand dramatically. "My fork is at your service, m'lady."

Francine let him take her hand -- not the one that was holding the cake, mind you -- and smiled. "Your fork is always welcome here, Sir Merlin."

..............................Look, the author is getting all of her ungrammatical leading ellipses out of the way now before she gives them up entirely. It seemed like a good time.

It always did.

Kissing her hand, Merlin bowed his head low again. "I shall endeavor to only wield it in your name!"

She was too busy going googly-eyed over the hand-kissing thing to manage anything like sarcasm, but she did say, "Well, I certainly hope so!"

Merlin just grinned widely and stood up to give her an actual kiss. Maybe. Hopefully. He was going slow to ask for permission here!

He clearly had no idea how good Francine was at not saying no.

He may learn! One day... Okay, probably not.

Instead of contemplating that, he kissed her, one hand cupping her jaw. "We ought to argue over cake more often."

"Hmm. More cake. Such a sacrifice." Or more of that.

"This weekend maybe?" Good god, was he being forward about this? SOMEONE MAKE SURE HE WASN'T AN EVIL TWIN FROM A MIRROR UNIVERSE.

[personal profile] thatsamilkshake 2009-04-24 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
He can't be an evil twin from a mirror universe, silly. He doesn't have a goatee!

Francine grinned. "Without lions this time?"

"On my honor," Merlin promised, not quite pulling away from her. He really was like a moonstruck girl.

"Poor Arthur," she had to add, because she did feel bad for him.
