Claire still really couldn't believe they were actually going to do it. When he had suggested going to Vegas, she was sure he would talk himself out of it. She was sure he was only suggesting it because of the whole Anvain demon thing scaring the shit out of him but there was no way he actually meant it. He proved her wrong though; he told her to pack a bag and to get on the bike as he angled them towards Vegas. She was sure others would shit bricks once they realized what they had done but it wasn't like she really cared. This was something she wanted more than anything
( ... )
Cain just rolled his eyes as he climbed off the bike after her, unstrapping his own duffel from the back. Coming around to her side, he unceremoniously wrapped an arm around her waist and lifted her off her feet, bringing her to his level as he stole a kiss
"Love you." he rumbled against her lips, nuzzling his nose against hers for a moment. "Been too long since I said that...at least half an hour."
Claire still isn't sure exactly what it was that he had seen while trapped in his demon-induced nightmare but she has a feeling that whatever he saw had scared him to death. He was certainly more loving than usual and he was suddenly suggesting they get married instead of waiting till she was older like he had originally wanted.
When he hauled her up against him, she felt the familiar flash of heat even though she kept the kiss chaste. Nuzzling him back, she let out a happy sigh. "I love you too." She gave him another kiss before pulling her head back. "You know I'm really here, right?"
He wanted to tell her he believed it, but it would be a lie. He didn't doubt her word or his own eyes...but holding her in his arms, lifeless and cold, had scarred him. Imaginary or not, for a brief and terrifying time she'd been dead and his world had been as cold and lifeless as her still form.
She still didn't know just what he'd seen and if he had his way, she never would. He didn't want anyone to even know that a world like the one he'd glimpsed could exist.
"Yeah, I know." he lied, kissing the tip of her nose before shifting to hoist her up in his arms and sling her playfully over his shoulder, careful not to tip her so far she'd lose her backpack. "C'mon, let's go check in, clean up, and get our asses married."
