I looked at him as he turned to walk back out of the bathroom, and said "I'd like to reiterate that you have excellent taste in pants". And he does. He was wearing a pair he'd bought that day, and the curve over his arse and down his leg was just perfect. He replied "And everything in them is yours". I grinned and called after him "And now I'm ( Read more... )

W was expecting this to be a hard time, the traditional ordeal. I wasn't. But I was willing to find out.

( And next, time with his family... )

( Several moments of magic... )

We're heading home for Christmas. To both homes, both families. It'll be the first of those that I've ever done - I've never really had to balance two separate family encounters before. But we'll spend two days with mine having Christmas, then two days with his having Christmas. I'm looking forward to it. I like my family, and his doesn't seem so ( Read more... )

This morning on the train I looked at W as I often do, noting the line of his cheek and chin, the light in his eyes, the soft joy that suffuses his face.

He: (considers) I *like* the sound of *that*.

We were working in the kitchen together, and he's leaned over and said something in a character voice, deep and tingly. I think it was something jokingly evil-overlordish, but I don't know. I didn't really hear the words. His voice just went right through my spine, melting some of the muscles so that I couldn't move. I've looked up at him with big ( Read more... )

We were at the real estate agents', getting his name on the lease. He was filling out the emergency contact details part of the form, got to the bit that says "Relationship to you" and looked at me blankly. I looked back at him just as blankly. What word do we put there? After half a minute I shrugged and said "Whatever you put is fine with me." He ( Read more... )

We were sitting together on the beanbag, and things led to other silly things, and I was about to say "Y'know, you married one strange woman". And caught myself. But giggled. So then I said "I was about to say that you'd married one strange woman. Darn I need better words ( Read more... )
