Jelly Belly | Kierdney

Sydney knows she shouldn’t be this excited, but exposing Kieran to new things is just always fun. After picking up the jelly beans (3 different kinds, he has to learn), she strolls into the house with a smile on her face. “Kier! I’m back!” Joey glances at her lazily when she walks by, lifting his head to bump her palm but laying back down as she heads into the living room.

I really like that color on you.

Really? It seemed a little dark for the spring but it was so pretty...

[Kieran notices. He notices the change of her outfit since this morning and the makeup that subtly covered her face. He notices the way her hair is sticking to the sweat beading against her forehead because she’s working herself so hard but he doesn’t point it out. He doesn’t point it out because she’s doing this for him and he feels his chest swell. He does what he’s told but he always leaves at least one eye on her, ready to jump to her aid at any moment.]

This is all really wonderful, Sydney. You’ve gone through so much trouble. [Kieran hasn’t even removed his coat yet, too busy trying to keep Joey from knocking him back out the door and from seeing her. Call him crazy but she kind of reminded him of an angel. He starts to remove his jacket and he makes a statement, hoping it encourages her even a little bit.] I’m a lucky man, I’ll tell you.

[He starts to remove his coat and she’s at his elbow immediately, taking it from him and folding it over her arm to hang it on the coat rack in the living room. When she returns she’s smiling, though a little tiredly.] You don’t need to thank me, really.

[Once she’s gotten the rest of the food ready to serve (and the pots and pans in the dishwasher thank god), she brings them to the table and takes a seat, finally letting out a sigh of relief.] It’s just-. You bought me a house. And a dog. And you always say-. Stuff like that, it just comes to you so naturally and it doesn’t to me. I don’t have...words like that rolling around in my head, things just are and maybe I’m not the best at showing you or saying it but I...y’know. [She gestures to the food, before grabbing the wine to pour him a glass.] I’m trying?

Are you enjoying yourself, so far, darling?

You bought me coffee, of course I am! [Syd teased, reaching down to lace her fingers through his.]

[Rushing downstairs with his bag flailing haphazardously behind him and his eyes scanning all over for Sydney, Kieran finally spots her and makes his way over to her quickly.] Ask me what?? [He huffs out.]

[Sydney’s not expecting him to actually run, and she can’t help laughing as he approaches and she turns, taking his bag and sliding it into the open trunk before she shuts it.] Do you want to drive or should I? We’re using GPS anyway, so. I’m kidding, that’s not actually what I want to ask you. [Still though, she’d rather wait until they get this settled and get in the car to talk to him about it.]

Mine | Kierdney

[Sydney wishes she could say that she’d taken the claim ceremony more seriously than she did but...she can’t. It was an exercise. One she doubted she’d ever think about after this week was over. Anthony was a student. An acquaintance. That was likely all he’d ever be.

She belonged to Kieran. No “ceremony” would make her anything but moreso and she makes her way to his room quickly after he asks for her, eager to remind him and herself of that.] Kier? [She doesn’t even knock, pushing the door open.]

[It doesn’t matter to Sydney that she saw Kieran less than 12 hours ago. It doesn’t seem to matter to Kieran either, and she supposes that’s what really matters. She’d planned to do some grading but that could wait - they could grade together, maybe. Gathering up her things, she makes her way from the sciences building to the humanities one, nudging the door open with her toe.]

Kier? It’s me.

[F2F] Kieran reaches out to steady her when he startles her and he smiles, his hand finding her own. “Hi, darling. I’m sorry I scared you.” He couldn’t wait until after she had gotten back to her room to see her.

Are you sure? I’m starting to think you get a kick out of it. [Sydney grinned, closing her grade book and moving it aside. She’d just finished up a homework assignment, so she wasn’t worried about getting lost.] What are you doing here?
