Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dorian was hopeful that if they could come up with a learning experience that her parents felt was a good use of Clover's time that they'd agree to her spending the summer with him. He felt rather excited about the prospect of spending the summer with Clover. Until she had brought up the idea of him coming to the farm; he had thought that his summer was going to start out rather boring. Now it sounded like he was going to have a much more eventful summer.

He thought that her advice about finding something that he wanted to change was rather good advice. He'd have to think of what needed to change the most and then make it his goal to try and fix it.

"Which is a great thing," He told her not joking in the slightest. "I like you for who you are and there's nothing about you that I would want to change."

They continued kissing for several moments before Dorian pulled away to catch his breath. He smiled at her before moving to lay next to her. "We should probably head in shortly." He said with a sigh. "Would you like to work on letters later? I think we have some to write to our parents."

Dorian couldn't help but feel happy that Clover liked him for who he was. Though he did realize there were things about him that he had yet to really share with her. He was also certain that there were things about himself that he had yet to discover just yet. He hoped that did come up that Clover would still want to be with him. He was pretty sure that Clover would accept him though and not be the type to push him away.

He smiled at her, seeing that she wasn't quite ready to go in just yet. "Well, we don't have to go in just yet. We do have the rest of the afternoon to spend together," He told her. "Sometimes having a well-known family can be a detriment though, especially when people assume things about you." He pointed out. "Though I try not to pay any attention to what people say, it can be irritating."

He turned over on his back to glance back up at the clouds going over the blue sky. He chewed on his bottom lip for a moment and then stole a glance over at her. "Do you feel like you want to kiss some more?" He asked hopefully. There was just something so wonderful about kissing Clover's sweet lips. He was finding it hard to resist them.

"We should try and do this more often," Dorian said with a happy sigh. He could tell that the break from studying was doing him a lot of good. He imagined that it was helping CLover too. Getting downtime from all the brain-numbing studying was a welcome change.

Dorian glanced over at her reply and saw the redness on her cheeks. "That was true until everything that happened with my mother. My dad decided that he didn't want to saddle me with the type of expectations that he had from his own parents. So I guess there is something good that came out of all that mess." He said with a sigh. "I can't recall but I think I did tell you about everything that happened with my mom and her breaking down and going into St. Mungo's long-term care right? If not you probably should know."

Dorian couldn't help but smile at Clover's reaction. "Well... I guess we need to be closer if we want to kiss again." He said moving in a bit closer to her and pressed a soft kiss to the side of her mouth. "If you want to kiss me I wouldn't mind at all."

Dorian smiled back at her. "And it's supposed to be nice all weekend too. No rain, can you imagine that?"

He found himself somewhat relaxing at Clover's telling him what she recalled hearing. "Well, she wasn't hit by a bad spell. SHe tried to obliviate certain memories and wiped too many out. She sometimes remembers me, but very rarely. That's partly why my father doesn't make me see her more often. It's kind of like she went through Alzheimers and has forgotten that she had a kid, or was even married at times." He explained.

"It's hardest on my father because all he wants to do is comfort her and she starts freaking out and reacts badly. What's worse is sometimes she recalls magic and tries to do spells, which don't always work out correctly. So she has to be kept in a separate room with special wards up. To think my dad was trying to watch her and make sure nothing happened for years before trying to get help says a lot."

"I don't mind you knowing, it actually helps to have someone to talk to." He added. "That is if talking about it doesn't bother you at all."

Dorian raised an eyebrow at her words and couldn't help but grin. "It is a good thing, " He agreed with a grin. "Well honey is tastier," He whispered back before she pecked him on the lips. "Though I could use a lot more than a pinch." He teased.

Dorian thought he heard an almost wistful sound in Clover's voice. "Well, we could go to Hogsmeade tomorrow if you want. We probably just have to let our head of houses know so that someone knows where we are. I'm pretty sure we can go without it being an official trip the school has planned. We are old enough to be responsible for ourselves."

Dorian was rather glad that Clover wasn't too overwhelmed at what he told her about his mother. He'd only ever shared it with his close friends before, most of whom had gone through some pretty tough things before. "Thanks for saying that. I appreciate it a great deal. Not too many people want to listen to that sort of thing. They prefer to just talk about light-hearted and fun things."

Dorian couldn't help but wrap his arms around Clover, smiling at her giggle and the feel of her arms around his neck. He lost himself once more in the softness of her lips, pressing his own a bit harder to her own.

They made out until they were a bit breathless and finally pulled apart to catch their breaths again. Dorian felt a bit chilled when the breeze ran over him and realized it had gotten rather late and the sun was starting to go down. "Well..we should probably go in now, it's starting to get rather cool out here. The last thing I want is for you to catch a cold." He said getting up and starting to pack everything up.

"I had a lot of fun on our date, I hope we can do this again soon." He told Clover with a happy grin

Dorian nodded, understanding that she had other plans and things she wanted to finish that weekend. "Well maybe once you finish it you'll show me tomorrow. If you finish early, maybe we could go for a walk around the lake. You'll be needed some fresh air I imagine." He said smiling at her.

He couldn't agree with Clover more when she replied. He rather liked that she was someone he could trust and talk to about anything and everything. He knew it had been hard for her to trust him with her own secret fear. "I don't think it really matters in the long run. As long as we are comfortable with confiding and sharing with one another that's all that really matters. I'm glad I have you in my life Clover." He told her quite seriously.

Dorian smiled at her when soft sigh and moved a hand up to brush some stray hairs back from her face before they pulled away. "Yeah, we'll have to make the most of the nice weather while we can. " He agreed. He felt his face flush slightly at the kiss she placed on his cheek. "I don't really care about the paint, I think you're beautiful with or without it." He told her seriously.

He couldn't help but smile happily at her as he picked up the basket and the blanket and moved to take her hand with his free one. "Well next time, I'll try and plan it out with you ahead of time. Though..if you feel like surprising me I wouldn't mind." He said as they slowly walked back to the castle.
