Futureknight verse: Romantic? Oh yes.

Porthos studied himself in the mirror carefully as he readjusted his tie, then doublechecked to make sure that Brenda's pretties were all carefully stowed in the bag. That dress would look dashing on her, and withthe help he'd recieved picking out the shoes and jewels to go with it, he was sure to have the most dazzling wife at the resturaunt.

He grinned. This annaversery might pass by his love, but he was going to take her out tonight, no matter what it took.

Zipping the small bag closed after putting in a towel and some babywipes, he went downstairs.

"Here you go," he gave the bag and his coat jacket to Prudence, taking his own towel in which to wrap her in in his hand. "If you'll have the limo waiting, I'll be right back with my beautiful wife."

He brightened.

"Prudence helped me," he admitted. "But I chose the dress."

"I see that." She chuckled to herself as she pulled out the sleek, sparkling gown that she'd put away in storage after wearing it twice. Personally, she wasn't sure that it was her style, but Porthos had bought it and eagerly suggested it every time that they had to go out.

It was the work of a moment to slip it on and put her arms through the holes, then she popped back into sight and presented her back. "Zip?"

He kissed the smooth skin first, as usualy his breath taken away at the sight of her, then zipped her up.

"Er, Prudence said everything you'd need would be in there," he said, pointing at the bag again.

She leaned back against him for a moment, unable to stay mad at him for long, even in light of being once more in a dress that she felt was a little old for her. "The pumps again?"

He ducked his head.

"You... would you like to return to the mansion and change?" he asked softly. He'd miss the deluxe reservation and the sunset, but he could tell she wasn't happy.

[random_xtras]

"No." She turned and put her arms around him, feeling like a heel. "I'm sorry."

[dbattyones.livejournal.com]

He wrapped her in his arms, resting his forehead on her shoulder.

"This is a special night. You should dress as you like," he said softly.

She nuzzled close and just enjoyed being close to him, then chuckled. "Maybe I'll start a new fashion. It'll be better than those minimalist things that the holo stars are wearing."

A contented sigh and she said one of her favorite phrases to him, "Have I told you how much I love your beard?"

[dbattyones.livejournal.com]

He smiled. He was fully aware of what she was doing but couldn't help it.

"You're in for a treat," he said, kissing her cheek, his confidence restoring itself.

[random_xtras]

She gave one of her rare grins, fingers going up to touch said beard. "I love you."

[dbattyones.livejournal.com]

"I love you to. You do remember the anneversary, don't you?" he said eagerly.

[random_xtras]

She started to say yes, but then stopped and frowned slightly. "This isn't the day we got married...."

[dbattyones.livejournal.com]

"No," he sighed patiently, smiling. "It's the day you first agreed to dance with me."
