“Hmm, I sleep better with you,” Teren agreed. He can rest well with his boyfriend beside him, but when he’s alone, he feels like he never slept compared to feeling safe with Lucien. “Wait, what?” Teren wasn’t sure at what he heard. Daddy… Teren? He only remembered pretending to be one as an act so to hear it again felt weird.

“Me too.” Lucien never got nightmares when he stayed with Teren-- it was mostly a dreamless sleep for him which he would take any day. He laughed softly at his boyfriend’s reaction because it had been a while since he had brought the kids up that way at least. It didn’t take long for their food to arrive, him even ordering the best wine that paired up with their dishes.

“Thank you for this. I love it,” Teren said, looking at his partner. “Hmm, yeah, I’d prefer if it was just us. But I don’t mind sleeping alone for a night or two if you’d like to stay with them.” The key was either sticking to his schedule or tire himself to the point that he’d easily fall asleep even without his boyfriend beside him. “Ah, it’s fine. I can’t wait to try them.”

“Oh, no, if we’re moving to the city, I am staying with you and sleeping in your arms every night. They’ve been asking me almost every night, asking where Daddy Teren is.” Lucien was very certain of that-- he could just go to the foster home in the morning and then come home to his boyfriend. Husband, hopefully, if this night ends up the way he wanted to. “I’m sure it will be magnifique.”

Teren laughed a little, amused at his ever so cheeky boyfriend. “Every date of ours is special, but I’m sure this is one for the books.” He looked thrilled at being in this restaurant, with none other than his beloved. “After things get better, I’ll be staying more in the city anyway. I trust the head chef and manager but I also want to personally oversee how things would be when the restaurant reopens.” Teren was sad to see it gone for too long and it had affected his moods a lot, including starting to run out of money because he decided to give a bit more to the employees before they closed. He was hoping to use his savings for emergency and for some retirement fund if he had ended up living alone like his father. Thankfully the pack of wolves didn’t need any money. “What did you order?”

“I do hope this is-- I’ve tried to make it special for the both of us.” Lucien knew it would be more special after dinner when he would propose to the other man. The love of his life. Nothing would make him more happier to have the other man with him. “That would be great. We can get an apartment there too, I used to live in the foster home but I figured we’d have a lot more privacy in the city on our own.” It would be easier for both of them that way as well. “I’ve ordered the best from their menu with the wine selection that goes well with it. You can order something else special to go along with something I’ve ordered?”

teren-benoit:

“You’re already cute, but sure.” Teren smiled at the thought. His boyfriend was adorable even if he was only smiling. “What matters to me is that we’re still together and now on a date in one of the best cities in the world.” He reached out to hold Lucien’s hand. “If you’d like, we could move in closer to the foster home too. I know we have a faster way of traveling anywhere but it could save us some energy too. Or, well, I’m always just one Iris message away too,” Teren offered. “I’m always here when you need me.”

“Oh, I know I’m cute, I just want to be cuter.” Lucien teased as he looked at Teren with a grin. But despite that, he had a blush on his face. “I figured that we could make this date special because it’s been a while. And no better place than Paris since we’ve never been here.” The son of Nyx said and shook his head at the suggestion because he didn’t want Teren to just move away from the place he was comfortable in. “No need to do that, love. I’m fine just going back and forth, as long as I get to come home to you.”

teren-benoit:

“I—” Teren paused, seeing the cute pout on his boyfriend. “Well, since you’re asking nicely…” He was barely thinking now besides that he’d always love to do whatever Lucien asks of him. “I’d conjure the kind that you’d want if the options are bad.” He shrugged. It wasn’t a lot of work for Teren as he’s been training himself for years. “What are you apologizing for? We’ve both been busy and it’s not our fault. I’m really thankful you still love me after all this time.”

Lucien laughed because he really wouldn’t force Teren to wear anything that he doesn’t want to. If he wasn’t comfortable, he really wouldn’t like Teren to feel that way. “Well, I’d like a baby Yoda one. It’ll be cute.” The son of Nyx had said with a grin. But he might just end up wearing the one with the veil if Teren says yes. “I missed you though. It’s quite different when I was with you all the time and then suddenly we’re apart again.”

teren-benoit:

“I have to wear those?” Teren couldn’t imagine the thing on his head. “What will your wear, then?” He’d definitely enjoy seeing Lucien happy though and he’d take lots of photos of the son of Nyx for himself. “Thank you for this, by the way,” Teren started once they were seated. “It’s been a while since our last date.”

“C’mon, would you wear those ears for me?” Lucien was pouting even though he felt slightly ridiculous doing it in public. He shrugged because he would literally wear anything from Disney at this point. “I’d wear those ears with the wedding veil on them if it’s the last thing on there.” The son of Nyx joked, and would definitely do it if this night ends up the way he wanted it to. “Yeah, it has been a while. I’m sorry about that, by the way. Things have been crazy and not just this whole pandemic.”

teren-benoit:

“Are you really serious about that?” Teren frowned slightly. He had never thought of going to Disneyland before, mostly because it meant crowds and annoying children. He’d only be interested in checking out whatever Star Wars stuff they had in there now that he was thinking about it. Nodding at his partner, Teren followed them while checking out the restaurant. He still didn’t know when they could reopen their restaurant, but he knew there would be changes when they do reopen and maybe he could pick up something useful here.

“C’mon, you with the cute Darth Vader mickey ears? That would be adorable!” Lucien imagined it and laughed out loud because Teren would probably have a scowl on his face which made it much more adorable. Though it might just be the two of them rather than the whole house of kids with them too. He was good with kids but that would just be a nightmare to handle. Even though he was nervous, he acted like this was a normal date for them despite practically pulling out all the stops when it came to dinner. This dinner, rather, this night, after all would change both of their lives.

It was a risk on Teren’s part too, one that he’ll never regret. “I’ll go anywhere with you,” Teren said, squeezing his boyfriend’s hand once. He was not used to receiving anything freely before, but here was Lucien spoiling him and giving him more than what he’s expecting and Teren liked it. “I love you too… Please lead the way now before I melt here.”

“...Even Disneyland?” Lucien asked-- it didn’t seem like a place Teren would want to go but he thought he would ask anyways. He would be the same for his boyfriend though; he would follow him to the ends of the earth. Chuckling, the son of Nyx approached the maitre d’hotel and started speaking in French, talking about the reservation. “Ça va, mon amour? Allons y!” Lucien asked if Teren was okay before gesturing that they should both follow the server inside.

teren-benoit:

“Fuck it up more, then.” Teren would never want that to happen, and he was glad they were always helping each other out. He looked surprised when his boyfriend answered. “No shit?” He looked at the other man, smiling. Teren got a really gorgeous and brilliant partner. “You’re honestly the best.”

“But you didn’t. That was a chance I was willing to take.” Lucien answered, reaching over to press a kiss on Teren’s lips. It still was a risk he’s willing to take with the other man. “I mean, I had to pull a few strings but I got us reservations.” Holding out his hand, he held onto his boyfriend’s hand tightly. “You deserve to be spoiled. I want to do that for you, dear. I love you.”

teren-benoit:

“I was afraid that I’d mess your life up. But I badly wanted you to be mine too and you made it hard to change my heart about it.” Teren chuckled. He remembered being confused a lot and always looking for Lucien. “You didn’t have to,” Teren said, smiling at his boyfriend. “Where are we eating then? I haven’t had some good food in a while.”

“My life was already fucked up, you wouldn’t have done that yourself.” Lucien had such a messed up past that he was afraid of how Teren would react to that. But he supposed they both had things they don’t want to remember. The start of their relationship was rocky at best but that part didn’t matter now. “La Comice, mon amour. Like I said, you deserve the best.” It was hard to get reservations in the first place but he managed to snag ones at the last minute.

teren-benoit:

“Can’t wait.” Teren let out a small laugh. “I’ve always been yours before we even knew it.” And it was true. Teren already had his eye on Lucien before but he never really bothered getting closer at first until things happened and it was a good thing that Lucien was “annoying”. He briefly closed his eyes and held tight to his boyfriend. It took a while, but when they finally stopped, Teren found himself in a familiar city. He expected they’d go to another city but in the same state. “Dinner in Paris? This is a long trip.”

“You’re just dumb. It took you such a long time to realize.” Lucien joked even though he really was terrified that Teren might not return the feelings he practically bared to him. He was annoying but it worked out in the end, didn’t it? He turned towards his boyfriend, grinning when they immediately recognized that they were in Paris. “Mon ange, you deserve to be spoiled. Besides, it’s been a while since we’ve been here.”

teren-benoit:

“Alright,” Teren said, grinning back at his partner. Lucien’s smile can just be contagious, especially to Teren on times like this when they’re alone. He trusted Lucien, so whatever they’ll be having for dinner tonight, he’ll take it. “Change my life. I’m all yours tonight.”

Lucien moved forward and pressed a kiss on Teren’s lips, a bright grin on his face as he pulled back. “I am definitely about to change your life.” He said with a teasing grin-- whether it was about the food they were having or the proposal he was doing. “Just for tonight, mon ange?” The son of Nyx continued to tease but he held onto his boyfriend’s hand tightly, the only signal he gave to the other before he shadow-travelled towards Paris.

teren-benoit:

Teren lifted his gaze to his boyfriend. He still finds it funny sometimes that his boyfriend is a son of the Night and yet, Lucien was his brightest star. And someday, maybe he can call him more than his boyfriend. “Yeah,” he answered, a small smile forming on his lips. Teren took the other man’s hand and held it. “What are we getting for dinner this time?”

Lucien grinned at Teren when their eyes met-- that was always his reaction to seeing the love of his life. Maybe it was dumb to people but he really couldn’t help it. “It’s a surprise this time.” He was excited to let his boyfriend know though, knowing that the place he was planning on proposing was special to the both of them. “Trust me, it’ll be great... Not like I haven’t taken you anywhere that wasn’t though.”

Lucien had been thinking about this for days, weeks-- months, to be exact. He wanted to do this. To propose to Teren. He was absolutely sure that the son of Hecate was the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Maybe there was some feeling of being absolutely scared that the other camper might not want this whole plan but he was still going to move forward with this. It would seem like it was excessive but he knew how important France was for both of them-- for completely different reasons which was why he was doing it there. “Are you ready, mon amour?” Lucien had said that they were just going to dinner elsewhere, and not actually Paris. @teren-benoit

“My favourite view.” Teren didn’t even hide the fact that he was looking at his gorgeous boyfriend. Gods, he was always ready to kneel and worship Lucien. He reached out to give Lucien’s backside a squeeze. “You better,” he chuckled before moving to turn the stove off to get the food ready for their dinner.

Even though Lucien was used to hearing Teren’s compliments, he still couldn’t stop the flush appearing on his skin, the red from his cheeks down to his chest. Letting out a surprised noise when his butt was squeezed, he turned to Teren with a bright grin. “Of course! I can never really keep myself away from you for very long.” The son of Nyx shouted back as he made his way to their room to get dressed quickly and come back to the love of his life in the kitchen.

Teren’s lips paused for a few seconds, trying to stop himself from moving any further, leading to him slightly squeezing Lucien’s skin. He grazed the skin of Lucien’s neck lightly before pressing a soft kiss on it, a silent promise of Later. “Fine. Food will be ready when you get back.” Teren (sadly) moved his hands off his boyfriend to return to his cooking.

Lucien let out a soft groan when he felt the kiss on his neck, causing him to shiver. He knew what it meant, that they were going to continue this later. Which, he really didn’t mind at all. He just wanted to be with Teren. “You liked the view though, didn’t you?” The son of Nyx teased as he moved away just to turn around slowly, with only a towel barely covering his modesty. “I’ll be quick.” Pressing a short kiss on his boyfriend’s cheek, Lucien made his way to their room to finally get dressed.
