2.1 | because obv we needed toothrotting On This Day

[inthenarrative]

[ It's everything she's ever dreamed of. The stories she thought up with Angelica and Peggy as little girls now real. Eliza glows with joy, the happiest she's ever been in her young life. It feels like she'll never stop smiling and she glances over to Alexander, nudging him slightly ] Are you happy?

OF COURSE WE DO

[aimedhigh]

[He's smiling back, practically glowing himself, and draws her close for a (mostly) chaste kiss.] I'm the happiest man in the world, it feels like. [He has Eliza. Eliza, who he's been dreaming of for months, getting lost in thoughts of her on midnight walks, writing letters to her daily -- and now she's his, forever, and it's everything perfect he could have possibly imagined in a wife.] This is perfect. You're perfect.

[inthenarrative]

[ From that first glance to now; Eliza still can't believe he chose her. It feels like a fairytale despite the very real proof around her. ] And I am the luckiest of brides. [ It's hard to kiss when you can't stop smiling but she makes do, the love for him clear in her expression. ] You're pretty great too you know.

[aimedhigh]

[It is a little difficult, but they're allowed to be schmoopy and adorable and absolutely lost in each others' eyes, it's their wedding night.] Then I'm made greater by my better half, I'd like to think. [He can't stop smiling, either. He can't remember if he's ever felt this happy; if he has, it has been a very long time since then.]

[inthenarrative]

[ Of all nights, this is theirs to remember for the rest of their lives. It's only fitting that they remember it lost in each others eyes. ] I can only think the same. [ She's grinning a little when she reaches out to take his hand. ] Come now, before the others begin to wonder where we have gone. [ Quietly celebrating aside, there is a dance floor waiting with their names on it. ]

[aimedhigh]

[All innocence, but the heated kiss he quickly presses to her lips says otherwise:] Perhaps they'll think we've retired to our bed early. We've a right to, I think.

[He's only teasing. If Eliza wants to dance, then dance they will, because it is really extremely difficult for him to deny her anything.]

[inthenarrative]

[ You fool no one with your ways, Alex. ] Perhaps we have. But first, a dance. [ They have a duty to the guests first after all. And maybe, she wants to show off a little. This is all hers now after all. ]

[aimedhigh]

Yes, Mrs. Hamilton. [He certainly wants to show off, because his wife is the best person in the world and now he gets to see her whenever he likes. Perhaps not daily, considering the whole war and everything, but even so.]

Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun | Slayers | F/M Pref

[healsforjustice]

[knighterrantofthedragon]

[Things we've been waiting forever to get to? XD ]

[healsforjustice]

[Absolutely! Got any prefs for what option we pick, we're spoiled for choice here! Also going to get your tags shortly, promise, stuff's just been crazy of late.]

[knighterrantofthedragon]

[Obviously could do honeymoon night, since he definitely has looked forward to getting his hands on her in her wedding dress! But I'm fine with other possibilities, also!]

[healsforjustice]

[Ack, it's so obvious, why didn't I think of that?! Honeymoon it is! Would you like me to start?]

[knighterrantofthedragon]

[If you don't mind! XD ]

[healsforjustice]

It had been a day long anticipated by them both, ever since her time at his bedside went from simply taking care of an ailing prince to something much more. Some might have thought such a reckless action would be nothing more than a fling, but in truth the infatuation had only grown from strength to strength. As such, there were no questions or hesitations when arrangements were made, a date announced. No one could deny that this was not a match made of royal convenience between two kingdoms, not from the way the couple at the altar looked at each other all through the ceremony.

Amelia could only hope the dress he had fantasized seeing her in for so long now lived up to his expectations. Still, no matter how much he liked it, Amelia was all too aware that would not stop her husband from getting rid of it at the earliest opportunity when they were alone. At least the more intrusive parts would be pushed out of the way, as he had hinted quite heavily that consummating the marriage would be more thrilling if she was partially still in the gown. It did have to wait until all the festivities were wrapping up after the ceremony, after all the guests were tended to, but it was all worth it to the princess when Alric picked her up and moved to carry her into their bridal suite.

"You've been looking forward to this part all day, haven't you?" she giggled, nuzzling into his neck as she clung on to the knight as she was whisked over the threshold.

[knighterrantofthedragon]

Alric shivered a little at her nestling into his arms and teasing at his neck, and ducked his head to brush a kiss across her bare shoulder, followed by a delicate nip at her skin. The day had only been made infinitely longer by seeing her in such a dress, sharing their oaths with such love, longing, and sincerity--and then sitting through hours of formal, public festivities. It had only added to his tension to find that, given her quite generous curves, the dress was considerably less modest than he had expected from both Kaithenian and Saillune fashion.

And yet, the ceremony--to swear those oaths, to finally kiss her openly, and then again before her people to announce its completion (rather more passionately than would have been appropriate in front of the nobility)--had been a highlight, something he'd looked forward to since that day when she'd come to tend to him.

Still, he couldn't help but grin, leaning to kiss her cheek, as well, as he kicked shut the door of their suite, sighing contentedly.

"My love... you should count your blessings I didn't bend you over the banquet table to put a stop to the speeches."

He nuzzled, lifting her in his arms as he strode--as patiently as he could--toward their bedroom, nibbling at her neck.

"...mmnh, I could have just whisked your skirts up and had you right there, in front of everyone... ...nhh, and the way you look in this dress... seeing you in it at the altar, I wondered if you weren't trying to seduce me already."

[healsforjustice]

Every touch of his lips to her neck had the princess shivering with delight, practically purring into his ear as he nibbled at her shoulder, legs playfully swinging over his arm and causing the material of the dress to rustle with every movement. From the moment their gazes had locked as she strode down the isle towards the altar, she could tell she would be in for an impressive night. Alric indeed looked all too ready and willing to take her in his arms then and there, and from her own eyes he could no doubt tell she wasn't against the idea. Of course they held back, maintaining decorum throughout the speeches, vows and rituals, even though the feeling of his hand on hers as he delicately pushed the ring on her finger made her tremble pleasantly.

Needless to say, finally getting to let all of that loose without having to hide from anyone was a relief, Amelia gladly pouring everything into the kiss she had with him in front of cheering subjects, even if it all ended too soon. Sadly they did need to return for the formal dinner, tending to their guests, even though sharing their first dance as husband and wife was lovely. Nevertheless, the best was yet to come, Amelia going nice and red at Alric's bold declaration.

"Well goodness, I'm glad you restrained yourself. Imagine what people would have said, even if I might have been trying to seduce you a little." she chastised him, even though she was smiling the whole time, squirming as he teased her neck, clinging on as they entered their private quarters, which of course held their rather large wedding bed.

"Well, what will you do now? Just push my skirts up as you intended before? Or will there even be anything left of this dress once you're done with it?" she giggled, kissing his ear with a throaty moan.

For keeps_the_cross

[healsforjustice]

[For some, no matter how old they became, the thrill of unwrapping a special gift from a special someone never lost its magic. That was the sentiment Amelia was banking on upon revealing to a certain young man the present she had got him as a joint treat to celebrate Christmas and the anniversary of their first special meeting.]

[Was this risking giving the poor young man a heart attack when he walked in the door? Probably, but she was confident she could quickly override that response with something for favorable. Edward was a sweetheart through and through, but as Amelia had seen he was above base reactions. And considering how well she had gift wrapped the present that now perched on top of his desk, she had many reasons to smile as the door creaked open and she came face to face with her lover.]

Surprise!~

[keeps_the_cross]

[ It was indeed a special time of year, but a busy one for the church. As always there was much work to do with spreading the good word, as well as good cheer, and all the additional care given toward the less fortunate before the upcoming wintry months. Tonight was no easier of a night than most and he found himself in a good mood despite his obvious fatigue. Eddy returned to his meager room fully prepared to snuggle up something fiercely under the covers and snooze until he was called upon next.

Amelia was not wearing clothing to snooze in. A moment of staring later, and Eddy realized she wasn't wearing anything at all! Ribbons are not clothes in the slightest. He staggered back against the privacy screen and stammered. ] A-Amelia! Wh— What happened to your clothes?

[ In his weary mind that was the first question he could formulate. She had let him take off the boots without so much as a peep otherwise, and now he can see why. ]

[healsforjustice]

[All the more reason Amelia wanted to spoil Edward as much as possible, as if she needed an excuse. Not only was it a special occasion, but with how busy he had been, their time together had been cut rather short of late. As such, she imagined they both needed a night of enjoyment and intimacy. Of course making the young man aware of this would be a challenge, but something she was prepared for, the girl giggling at his reaction.]

I took them off silly. They would only be in the way when you unwrap your anniversary present. [Swinging her legs back and forth, she leaned forward, showing how the ribbons strained to hold back her bust, one hand toying with one end as if ready to tug the bow loose, voice lowering to a seductive purr.] Do you like it? Want to...open it?

[keeps_the_cross]

[ Her words made sense, but it was a specific one that stuck out to him despite his gawking. Anniversary. So THAT's what he's forgotten. There is a moment where he felt truly embarrassed about it, because he had nothing to show in return. Eddy approached the desk slowly, wringing his hands together before him. ] Gosh, I... this is so unexpected. I mean, I do! I would like that but. I feel... [ Tired? In the mood, but physically incapable? No. That wouldn't suffice. Eddy's expression turns thoughtful as he rolls the words over in his min. She obviously put so much thought into this, it would not do to sit out because he wasn't feeling at his prime. There must be something he can do for her in return. The question is... what would it be? ]

[healsforjustice]

Well, it is supposed to be a surprise after all. [If she was fussed that he had clearly forgot the date, she didn't show it. And really, Amelia just wasn't the type to hold such grudges, especially know how hectic things had been for her dear companion. Speaking of which, seeing him looking rather weary under all that fluster set off alarms in her head, the girl dropping the coy flirtation for a more soothing tone as she spoke again.]

Edward...[Slipping off the desk and approaching him, she moved to clutch his hand in a tender hold, eyes and smile full of adoration and reassurance, her free palm coming to rest gently on his cheek. The last thing she wanted was for him to feel uncomfortable, for this whole thing to be forced, and so was not even thinking about what he could do, but rather how to make the sweet young man relax and smile at her again.] It's okay. It's been a long day for you hasn't it? I just want to make you happy, no matter what that entails. If you really like, you can unwrap me in bed and we'll just snuggle together, okay? As long as I get to be with you, I don't mind what we do.

[keeps_the_cross]

[ Eddy bowed his head, but looked back up when she took his hand. There was a gracious smile waiting for her on his lips as she made a new suggestion. ] You are too good to me, Amelia. Thank you. I may be too tired for anything more... but just being in your arms would be delightful! [ It always was. Though he had little energy to spare, his enthusiasm was genuine. Keeping a gentle hold on her hand, he led them both over to the bed. ] I will make it up to you first thing in the morning. I promise!

[healsforjustice]

[Naturally Amelia returned the smile with just as much affection and tenderness, squeezing gently in reassurance she took no offense. Of course he was tired, it was normal all things considered, and it would hardly be any fun if she pushed him down and he didn't enjoy himself due to exhaustion.]

It's just as wonderful for me, I promise you. [Leaning up she pressed a kiss to his cheek as they reached the bed, waiting for him to climb onto the mattress before following to crawl on top of Edward, head resting against his chest.] And there's no rush, we have all the time in the world. We can do it whenever you want.
