With dinner ready, and Daniel able to enter with a blazing smile across his face, he only found it more appropriate to surprise her by pulling out the bouquet from behind his back to hand over the table before they sat. “Happy Valentine’s Day my love.” He gestured with a cheeky grin, letting the aroma of the food fill him with joy. “Everything smells fantastic. I can’t wait to dig in.”

It never ceased to amaze her how he could still surprise her, a large grin on her face as she took the flowers from him. “These are beautiful, Happy Valentine’s Day.” She brought her nose to the bouquet, the aroma filling her as she practically hugged them to her chest. “You have a seat and I’ll put these in some water.” Kiara went to the kitchen, grabbing a vase from the cabinet and adding water before returning to the dining room and making it the centerpiece. “Now, everything is perfect, and we can eat.”

A quiet night in was the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day. After the bombing, the thought of being any public place with a large portion of the town worried her. Even staying inside had her scared that something might happen to innocent people. She adjusted a few items on the table, taking extra care to make everything look perfect. “I am starving,” Kiara commented. “And thankfully it’s finally time to eat!”

“You’re too sweet.” Daniel murmured still, slurred words coming out in waves as he managed to lean against her and find a rhythm of walking in stride with her. “I don’t know what I would do without you babe. I…you’re my rock. Everything to me. All my moons and stars. It’s you always and forever.” With his muttered words, he really had no comprehension of what he was saying, mostly letting words flood out now. “I love you so much. Like…so, so much. I can’t believe I got to marry you sometimes. I am the luckiest guy ever.”

Leading him became easier as they found a synchronized stride, laughing lightly as he started to ramble. “Okay, now I know you’re properly drunk.” These weren’t statements she hadn’t heard before, but the way they were spilling out of him wasn’t an every day occurrence. She opened the door when they reached the car, helping him into it before giving him a slight peck on the cheek. “I love you too.”

danielevxns‌:

“Am I? I didn’t think so, but that’s fine. You’ll get the hang of it one of these days.” Daniel chortled with a slight grin, easy to find the humor in the situation, though being two drinks in wasn’t helping in the slightest, the buzz having gone to a full state of being drunk in just a matter of moments as it finally hit him. He stopped dancing and continued to lean against her forehead, feeling a short pant. “I think…I must’ve drank too much, too fast.” He murmured out again, a short slur to his words as he stepped a bit lazily over his own feet, the supernatural alcohol hitting him hard.

She hoped one of those days would come soon to not be such an embarrassment compared to him. With his movements stopping, Kiara leaned back slightly to let her arms wrapped around his waist instead. “Let’s get you home, then. No passing out or getting sick here.” She left one arm around him for support, guiding him in the direction of the exit and their car. As long as if she could get him there, getting him to the house would be a little easier. And with her sober status, Kiara didn’t need to worry about waiting for anyone else.

As the process seemed to smooth out a bit, Daniel only uttered out a short chortle, guiding the dancing smoothly, but keeping their movements small enough to be contained in the area they had carved out, their own little world it seemed with the music filling around them. “You’ve just got to focus less on the dancing bit, and more on just going with the natural beat.” He chuckled as he let his forehead rest on hers while slowing down his rhythm. “Think those drinks are kicking in K.” 

She took his advice, trying to focus less on what they were doing and more on having fun. “None of this is quite natural for me, but you’re also a good teacher.” She smiled, closing her eyes for a moment when his forehead rested on hers. A light chuckle escaped her as she looked up at him. “Is this my cue to take you home? Before the blubbering becomes to much and I can’t at least get you to the car?”

[kiaraevxns]

Daniel only chuckled, the music being something he had gotten used to in being able to accomplish a dance that was both elegant and timeless. With one hand around her waist, the other found one of her arms wrapped around his neck before he pulled it off to hold her hand out and lead the way. He focused for a moment, before feeling the misteps she was taking. “Look at me Kiara. Don’t pay attention to your feet. I promise to lead you.” He took his first step, the waltz accompanied a tango for a blend of two dances. “You just have to trust me.”

Her feet betrayed her as she tried to participate in some form of dancing, looking down to see if it would help. The hand reaching for hers had her paying no mind to what Daniel had up his sleeve next. Kiara finally glanced up, focusing instead on his face rather than her two left feet. The misteps were still present, although gradually reducing them as she let him lead her throughout the entire dance. “I do trust you, and apparently it’s somehow working.”

“I’m glad. To me, I would be beyond scared, and it’s very good to see you both happy for this decision, and excited about it.” Ethan couldn’t fathom the idea of having children, at least, not yet. His past warranted that he did not make the best of decisions when it came to love, and the last thing he needed was to be with someone who was as bad as his ex-wife, being a mother. “I’ll definitely do that for you, Kiara.”

“The timing of trying to figure all this out was more scary than actually having a child. Daniel and I are beyond ready to finally have one of our own.” It was finally time, only growing more excited at the possibility of it all. “Good, because it’s hard enough when everyone else is practically already drunk. It’ll be nice entertaining myself with both of you being drunk.”

[kiaraevxns]

danielevxns‌:

“More like bruised body—but, it’s all yours. I promise.” Daniel teased back, as he stepped forward in line with her to reach the dance floor. Knowing his skills weren’t what they used to be, Daniel could still occasionally sweep Kiara off of her feet, something he could only hope for tonight as his hands found the perfect spot at her hips, guiding her slowly at first, before the song changed into something more his style. “You have no idea. Remember our wedding night first dance?” He whispered back coolly, before finding a new passion and giving into a short rhythm of things with a bit of swing dancing. “Who knew those college dance classes would come in handy.”

Dancing let her have fun in her own way, but any kind of rhythm or proper form would have to be left to her husband. Kiara practically had too left feet, and what she lacked in skill she made up for with passion. Her hands went around his neck, letting him lead the way in their dance together. She giggled, audibly sighing. “I do remember how terrible I was. You stole the show then too.” Kiara looked down at her feet, focusing on keeping up with what movements he was doing next. “I’m glad they came in handy for you! I don’t think mine quite understand that at all.”

[kiaraevxns]

ethanxraynor‌:

“How do you feel about potentially being a mother?” Ethan inquired about the idea because he knew Daniel was excited. It was clear to him how much his friend wanted a child. He was, however, interested to see Kiara’s point on it. “Let’s go find that goofball, then. I need to tease him endlessly and maybe I need a drink as well!” 

“Excited! And nervous, it’s a bit crazy to think about. But, I already work with kids, and having one of our own is going to be such a joy.” She couldn’t wait to raise one, and not have to give them back to their parents at the end of the day. “Yeah, you can drink for me too.”

[kiaraevxns]

danielevxns‌:

“You do always come prepared. One of the many reasons I married you.” He teased her, though, he knew he owed it to her time and time again. “I’ll try to at least be entertaining, though I make no promises.” He held up a finger, with a slight warning edge to his tone. As he heard her shift, he stood as well, letting himself keep by her side. “I’m sure there are plenty of people that would be happy to help, though, let’s just leave the undressing between you and me.” His grin pulled across his lips, before he easily let an arm wrap around her waist. “Lead the way to the dance floor my love.”

“Oh the undressing is all us. No one else is allowed to see that sexy body of yours except for me.” Her hand slipped around his waist, easily walking in the direction of the other dancers. Kiara wanted to let loose a little bit, this being the way she could do it without needing to drink. She let go of his waist as they reached the edge of the crowd, instead wrapping them around his neck to face him, hips swaying slightly. “Time to blow all these other dancers away.”

[kiaraevxns]

ethanxraynor‌:

“Thanks, Kiara. I’m sure we will have good adventures, the three of us! Maybe a fourth, right?” Ethan laughed, nodding as she offered for them to go find Daniel. “I would love to join you both. Seeing Daniel get drunk would be phenomenal. It’s been some time.” 

“Yes! It’s still too soon to tell anything, but we’re not taking any chances. So currently he’s drinking for the both of us.” And having the time doing it from what she’d seen so far. “Oh, I’ve already had my phone out on multiple occasions to make sure I capture every hilarious thing he does.”

[kiaraevxns]

danielevxns‌:

“I knew it. I always had a feeling.” Daniel was an ever bigger goofball while drunk, and he figured if his wife wasn’t going to be drinking, than he might as well make his drinking worthwhile to her. “For better or for worse. The vows of a lifetime.” He repeated back to her, exchanging one drink for another. “You’ll have to carry me out of here if I’m going all out.”

“I always come prepared. Especially, if you start acting all crazy. Those are moments I need to relive over and over.” Moments she didn’t want them to forget and be able to share with their kids one day. “I’d take them again in a heartbeat.” She kissed at his cheek, standing up as the next drink arrived. “I may need to enlist some help if you pass out, but I will make sure you make it to bed without your suit still on. Now, dancing awaits us.”

[kiaraevxns]

ethanxraynor‌:

“I couldn’t help but follow you guys. It seemed like the right thing to do. It just took a while to do it.” Ethan chuckled, happy that she looked so healthy and happy. “I’m glad the daycare is going well, and happy that you’re both doing well. It would be crazy if you weren’t. The move wasn’t too bad. Long, but well worth it in the end.”

“Well, I’m glad you finally did. It’ll be just like old times.” Although older, they could still have a bit of fun, which only meant it could start tonight. “We only have you to thank for that. I’m glad you’re settling in nicely. Care to join Daniel and I? He’s somewhere around here, a little drunk. Since I’m not drinking anymore, this is his last hoorah.”

[kiaraevxns]

danielevxns‌:

“You just want to capture blackmail of me, is that it?” Daniel cheekily retorted with his grin all there before he brought the drink back to lips to kick it back before another round was entertained. If he was going to be celebrating one last time, he was going to go big, something he wasn’t even sure he could do anymore. “You have no idea how good you are to me K. Everything you do….it’s perfect, I don’t know how I can compete with that.” He was always impressed with her never-ending compassion for him. “That’s where I was headed. It only seems fair to give the lady what she wants, huh?”

“My phone’s been out and ready to take evidence since we walked in here.” Kiara leaned into his side, watching him knock back the first drink in a seemingly easy manner. A grin spreading at how long before it would kick in and the more apparent goofiness to come out. “There’s no competition, we’re in this together. For better or worse, forever.” No matter what happened, they were in it together and she would love him to no end. “Okay, one more drink and then we dance. I want to get some time on the dance floor in before I have to help you out of here.”

[kiaraevxns]

ethanxraynor‌:

Ethan couldn’t help the foolish grin that crossed his face as Kiara spoke, and before she could fight him, he pulled her into a hug. “Kiara! I’m so happy to see you!” He let her go, continuing to grin as he looked at her. “You look incredible! How have you been? We have so much to catch up on.” 

The hug surprised her, laughing as she hugged him back. “I’m happy to see you too! And that you decided to come to town.” Kiara backed up slightly, taking a look at him. “Thank you, I’ve been great. The daycare is doing really well, Daniel and I are doing amazing. We really do, and what a perfect place to do it too. How was the move?” 

[kiaraevxns]

danielevxns‌:

It wasn’t something he liked to bring up all too often, especially knowing that Kiara would respond similarly to how she currently did, but the truth of the matter was that Daniel felt more like a burden some days, and he only wanted to make things easier for his wife. At her words, his frown had lifted slightly, before his brows both slightly raised. “A last hoorah, huh? I guess I can’t say no to that.” Kissing her back led him to a softer moment as he whispered against her lips, “I can’t even see how many people are here, but I know that you’re outshining everybody else, bar none.” He paused before adding, “Once the drunk buffoon comes out, would you care to enlighten me with a dance?”

She watched as the expression on his face changed, whatever thoughts running through his mind hopefully turning to the proposition she posed to him. Kiara might have been unable to drink in hopes of becoming pregnant, but she would give her husband one fun and carefree night before he felt he needed to stop too. “I hoped you wouldn’t,” she smiled against his lips, eyes memorizing his face as if she hadn’t a million times before. “You’re too good to me, you know that?” She whispered, giving him a small giggle. “I will enlighten the drunken buffoon with as many dances he would like. I’m sure it won’t take too long if you ordered the strong stuff everyone’s buzzing about.”

Curious to see what this town had to offer, Ethan had gladly joined the black tie affair. Being on vervain pushed his confidence in retrying a community event, and he couldn’t wipe the ridiculous smile off his face as he entered with a bouncing step. “Everyone looks incredible tonight. Not bad for a black tie event!” 

Far too many years had past since the last time she saw Ethan, a smile coming over her features as she saw him come in. “You don’t look so bad yourself, which I should have expected already.”
