Which was exactly why he had her outside. She needed a break. He'd let her get back to her studies soon enough but she was going to relax for a bit first.
At the moment, Jeremy Pitt was quite content.
Until... the question...
"I don't know," he answered honestly. "I've not given it much thought."
Well, he had but there weren't any great plans in his future... not job... just her, really.

"Oh.." She wasn't exactly surprised, because Jeremy had never really been the plan-for-the-future type, but she had to admit it would have been nice if he had thought about it. It was all she thought about lately.. what she'd be doing, how he factored into things. Jeremy had always been a big part of her life and that was magnified now, since they'd been dating.
"It's getting so close now," she mused quietly, trying to ignore the voice in her head that kept trying to suggested things were going to change for them after school, because that was just ridiculous to think. "I can't believe it's almost over."
She was going to miss this place -and the people in it- far more than she cared to admit.

"It is," he agreed easily, his fingers still playing in her hair.
"You'll be working a lot when you get the job in the Unspeakables office, yeah?"
It wasn't an 'if' for Jeremy... it was a 'when'. Dari would get that job - he just knew it!
Reply
"I'll come by after, though, as much as you want," she offered, closing her eyes briefly, because his fingers felt so good in her hair. "Mmmm, that's nice," she murmured distractedly, nuzzling into him a little bit.

A loving smile crossed his features when murmured happily in his lap. Merlin, she was beautiful. God, he loved her so much.
"If that's the case," he told her softly, pausing to lean in and press a kiss to her forehead, "I may never want you to leave."
Reply
"Oh, but I've got to, don't I?" she mumbled back. "I've got to go home sometime." She smiled and leaned into him a bit more. This? Was relaxing. And wonderful. There was little she liked better than just relaxing against Jeremy like this.
Reply
"Well," he began, forcing her to sit up with his uncomfortable/nervous shifting, "I've been thinking..."
He had to pause there to study her a bit before he finally continued with what he was saying. Just two weeks ago, he'd been certain that she'd say yes but now that he was faced with actually asking her, his palms were sweaty.
"I've been thinking," he started again. "It'll really be a waste for both of us to have an apartment. I mean, I'll always be at your place or you'll always be at mine. We should just get one and share it..."
Well, that couldn't sound more like a roommate proposal...
Apparently, Jeremy fails when under pressure.
Reply
"Oh.. er.. you mean like flatmates?" she asked, pondering the idea. That did seem to make sense, she supposed, and she wasn't really opposed to the idea. She just wanted to be sure she understood what he was asking.
Reply
When he realized that he'd possibly just suggested that in the least romantic way ever, he gave her a bit of an uncomfortable smile. "I want you to live with me, Dari," he tried again. "I don't think I can get used to an empty bed again."
Maybe he should just be quiet now...
Reply
And after a pause in which she was inwardly flailing about giddy him wanting her to live with him made her, she realized she should probably actually answer him.
"I'd love to.. I'd love to live with you, Jer," she told him, giving him a look that should have conveyed just how much she loved him just for asking.
Reply
He waited patiently for... something... and there was only that smile. Which, yes, Dari had a bloody beautiful smile but he wanted something a little more on the vocal side at the moment.
Just when he was about to give in and ask her what the hell the grin meant, she answered. In response, a rather large grin grew on his face and he pulled her into a brief kiss.
"Brilliant," he decided before kissing her again.
Reply
"I can hardly wait," she agreed against his lips between kisses.
It was nice, after the past month or so. It was nice to have something to celebrate and be happy about for once, after everything had been so bad.

His future was pretty much set now. It wasn't like he had any other major plans to work on.
When they pulled apart again, he flashed her another smile. "We'll go shopping as soon as your back from your summer trip with Tris, yeah?"
Now, that was something he wasn't exactly looking forward to but he'd worked hard to keep that from Dari. If she wanted to run off with Tris for a while, he'd be the supportive boyfriend... not the whiny ponce who begged her to stay with him.
Reply
She nodded and curled back into him, ready to get back to the relaxing now that their plans were set. She'd been promised a good cuddle for her break, after all.
"Alright," she mumbled, smiling as she snuggled against him.
Truthfully, she was looking forward to her vacation with Tris, but she also knew she was going to miss Jeremy a lot while she was gone. Knowing they'd be looking for a place as soon as she got back helped to assure her, too. A part of her was insanely afraid he'd forget about her after she was gone a few weeks.
Reply
"How much longer before you have to go back to your studies?" he questioned after a moment.
He knew that she would have to go back to the library before too long but it felt rather good to have her close for now.
Maybe he'd talk her into sleeping in his dorm tonight...
Reply
She closed his eyes and sighed happily at the feel of his fingers in her hair. Merlin, would that ever stop being so wonderfully relaxing? She could almost fall asleep right here when he did that.
