The Cape Rouge, Late Friday Afternoon

So Octavia and Duke had actually made some date plans for today. And those had pretty solidly been at the back of Octavia's mind today so far. Not during therapy, of course, but... definitely during her swim at another random, remote public pool.

And during the trek back into town.

And now, as she finally boarded the Rouge again.

[ooc: For the guy!]

Duke had also had it on his mind, especially while he’d been googling “hot stone massage” to make sure he wasn’t going to get it dangerously wrong.

He was waiting for her in the galley, a bottle of sparkling cider on ice along with a plate of chocolate dipped fruit and various cheeses.

He planned to pamper her thoroughly today.
betterthanaplan: (it was a good day)

Duke’s smile in return was broad and pleased.

He always loved being able to coax smiles out of her.

Ha yun, gona. Care for a snack?”
betterthanaplan: (pleased)

“Today’s menu features sparkling cider — non-alcoholic, of course — and chocolate dipped apples, strawberries, banana, and pineapple. And a lovely baked brie with multigrain crackers.”
betterthanaplan: (pretty boy)

Duke ran his hand through his hair sheepishly. “I . . . may have overdone it a little.”

They hadn’t had a proper date night in ages.
betterthanaplan: (romancing)

“He does set a high bar,” Duke agreed. He reached over to draw her into his arms. “I’m glad you like it.”
betterthanaplan: (*shrug*)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-07-15 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
“Good.” Duke shrugged a little. “I thought so, but sometimes my instincts are a little off.”
betterthanaplan: (smooches)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-07-15 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Duke gave her waist a little squeeze as he kissed back. “You know we just want to see you as happy as possible, right?” He asked softly.
betterthanaplan: (lovey-dovey)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-07-15 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
“Doesn’t surprise me. We worry about you, snogon.” He was just going to keep being willfully ignorant to the fact that they worried about him back, yes.
betterthanaplan: (make me blush)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-07-15 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Duke nodded. “Fair. Your boyfriends are not very subtle.”
betterthanaplan: (romancing)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-07-15 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
He definitely noticed. He tried to catch the tip of her booping finger with his lips.

“It’s part of our charm.”
betterthanaplan: (thoughtfully amused)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-07-15 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Look. They were as a whole not unfamiliar with insecurity of resources, be it food or comfort.

It was a thing.

“Just means we can enjoy leftovers later,” Duke said. “Once you’re all warm and soft from your massage.”
betterthanaplan: (thoughtfully amused)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-07-15 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
“That is the plan,” Duke confirmed. “But it can change as needed.”
betterthanaplan: (pleased)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-07-16 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
“Then by all means,” Duke said, stepping aside and waving her ahead of him. “The strawberries are especially ripe right now.”
