Only kinda worked? I think I should be insulted. [Though she's trying not to smile.]

[dancnwithmyself]

[Artie grinned at her.] Well, by kinda I mean definitely, in the oh look I'm going to embarrass myself again way...

[sf_girl_friday]

Artie, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

[dancnwithmyself]

[He gives her a sheepish look.] Well, apart from the fact I'm being me.

But I'm glad it's happened.

[sf_girl_friday]

If you weren't you, it wouldn't have happened. And I'm glad that you don't think it was a mistake.

[dancnwithmyself]

Well, at least you like me, rambling and all.

Definitely not. [He leans in, giving her a soft kiss.]

[sf_girl_friday]

[She makes a quiet, pleased sound into the kiss as she reaches up to play with his hair.] How'd you want it to happen?

[dancnwithmyself]

[Artie smiled at her, wrapping his arms around her.] Well, I was going to be a lot more with it for a start. I wanted to take you out for dinner, then actually do something cheesy like go to the funfair. I'm great at some of the games.

[sf_girl_friday]

We can still do all that. Why stop the 'doing things in the wrong order' thing? It seems to be working.

[dancnwithmyself]

[He pauses, before pulling a face as he agrees with her.] I should just roll with it, shouldn't I?

[sf_girl_friday]

[She laughs and snuggles closer.] Yep. Don't want to make fate or the universe cranky with us.

[dancnwithmyself]

[This is definitely something Artie could get used to.] Maybe I should just stop worrying then. Let things... happen.

[sf_girl_friday]

Artie, if I'm not worrying when I'm the queen of worst-case scenarios, then you shouldn't worry.

[dancnwithmyself]

You realise that between us, we're going to be terrible for imagining the worst?

[sf_girl_friday]

Or we'll think ahead and have plans so we'll be ready for it.
