Marc waited in the common room. His owl had arrived last night carrying the tiny parcel he had been hoping it would arrive soon. He had been hanging out with Anya contently and he was getting fed up with it.
He was trying to be a gentleman around her... always proper and he knew she had caught on. She had to know he was being proper and not completely himself. Which he had classified under he didn't want her to leave him. He frowned as he contemplated that though and fingered the box in his pocket. He always had butterflies in his stomach. And his palms were always sweaty and he blamed it all on the fact he was really nervous about what he was going to do.
Glancing out the window marc sighed and resumed his pacing. It was 6:30 in the morning. Glancing up the stairs to the girls dorm he glanced at the clock and resumed his pacing he would be there till she woke up.

Anya loved Saturdays. These were the days she could stay up reading until almost dawn and sleep in til noon. Except for this Saturday, today she was up at 9:30. Apparently her roommates decided they needed to squeal and babble loudly. With a grumble she went off and took a quick shower and threw on a comfortable but old sweater and jeans with holes all over. As she brushed her hair and pulled it into a ponytail at the base of her neck when she over heard the girls whispering about a boy pacing in the common room.
She shrugged the news off not thinking of it applying to her before snagging another book to start on and bounced contently to the common room. She had opened the book and had her nose already buried in it by the time she made it to the common room.

Marc sighed. Glancing at the clock again he moved to the couch and stared at the small box in his hand. What was taking her so long... It was after nine. He frowned. He had seen many girls come and go and not one was Anya.
He opened the box to stare at the necklace. He thought the pink was just girly enough. He had seen this necklace in one of the jewellery stores. He had mostly ignored it since he had been contemplating a gift for von. But since he had gotten to know Anya he kept thinking about it and finally asked his mother to buy it and send it to him.
He looked up to see Anya headed down the stairs. Finally... He snapped the box closed and moved over to her. "Good morning Anya!" He had carefuly placed the box back into his pocket.

At the sound of her name she looked up guiltily and smiled noting it was Marc. She was slightly embarrassed about her sweater but the jeans she knew looked nice on her. "Morning Marc! Not entirely sure it's a good one. Have you eaten yet?" She placed a hand over her mouth as she yawned. " I should not have stayed up to finish that book last night." Smiled happily at him and marked her place in the new book.
" Did you rest well?" Her stomach rumbled and she blushed slightly and hoped he hadn't heard that.

She looked so cute in her casual clothes. Marc smiled. "Im sure its a good one." He shook his head and rubbed his hand on his pants in a self conscious gesture. "No not yet...but thats ok... Im not entirely hungry." Which wasn't fully true but if he ate before doing what he planned then he would wind up giving her a not so nice gift.
He grinned. "Probably not... I've been up since about 5 this morning. I couldn't sleep." He heard her stomach and promptly ignored it... The body did what the body did... and a stomach growl wasn't nearly as bad as some other things she could do. He got the sudden desire to watch the movie shrek.
He shifted. And glanced at the door. "Hey... i um... have sorta... a question for you..."

Anya smiled and placed her book down behind her back. Her eyes widen at his admission that he'd been up since 5. "I should have come down, I was still reading by that time. I bet you're going to crash later today I bet."
As he shifted she motioned towards a chair. " Alright, I like questions. Is Beans still sick?" She stood patiently and waited for him to either lead towards a seat or to ask his question. He seemed really nervous and she hoped soemthing wasn't wrong.

Marc laughed. "You should have.... I would have loved your company." He grinned and went to pull out a chair for her. He couldn't sit... nervous energy was burning though him. "I probably will... but its good i can sleep in tomorrow."
Marc was staring at his feet trying to concentrate. "I um..." He glanced up. "Beans?...Oh yeah hes still sick ish... more sluggish today then yesterday.... but he should be fine... This is um...about you... and um.... um..." He flushed slightly. "And me."
He reached in his pocket. "I was wondering how...um... if you... ya know... um... still only wanted to be my friend... " He ran his hand through his hair and set the box on the table. "I wanted to know if you maybe like me more than that...."

Anya smiled and gladly took the chair he offered her. "Well next time I'll come down and take a peek." She smiled again and was confused when he didn't sit with her.
As he began to stutter her stomach fluttered and she was suddenly glad she hadn't eaten anything. Oh no he wsa going to say that he didn't want to be friends with her! She held her breath and readied herself mentally.
She was confused by him reaching into his pocket and gulped when he spoke. She watched the box travel to the table before looking up into his eyes. She turned bright red and started nibbling on her bottom lip and looked at the floor. She was kind of right but in the wrong direction. "I can't lie to you... I've liked you more than a friend for a while... I just know you had that.... thing, with Von.."
She was so red she didn't know what else to say without starting to ramble on. The fluttering in her stomach increased and she nervously played with the sleeve of her sweater. "Do you like me more than a friend?"

Marc was still pacing when she started talking. He scoffed on the inside but glanced at her to see her staring at the floor... the box untouched. He smiled and moved over to kneel down in front of her. He reached up and took the box.
Opening it in her line of vision he grinned. "Would i be asking you to be my girlfriend if i didn't like you more than a friend. I was just waiting for this to get here before i asked... It came at about midnight last night...."
He frowned. "Don't worry about Von... ok... She is still important to me... but not in a...I want her to be anything more than my friend kinda way... not like you... I want you near me all the time... and when you are off in the corner reading... and your hair is falling over your shoulder... when you should be going to bed, All i want to do is brush your hair out of your eyes so i can see them clearly.... "
He flushed a bit...."So what do you say, Mah hen?"

Anya stared at the necklace and gasped. "It's so beautiful!" Her fingers caressed it lightly as he spoke and she blushed deeply when he asked for her answer again.
" I would be honored Marcellus Adair to be your girlfriend." She quickly gave him a kiss on the cheek a light blush on her cheeks. "Would you put it on for me?" She brushed her hair into her hand and lifted it so he could clasp it around her neck.
She was shaking just slightly from the butterflies in her stomach. Oh the other girls were going to be so jealous! She might have to make sure to avoid a few of the meaner types until things calmed down.

Marc smiled and took the necklace out of the box and carefully put it on... The clasp was small circle. He would need to see that if he ever got another necklace that it had a nicer clasp.
"It is of course my greatest honor..." He winked and kissed her forehead before letting out a sigh. With a sheepish grin he ran his hand through his hair. "I was pacing since 6 trying to figure out how to give you that necklace and convince you im boyfriend material..."
Marc Looked at a couple of the girls over on the other side of the common room they were whispering and giggling behind their hands. "Shall we go to breakfast?"

Anya dropped her hair when he finished and closed her eyes when he kissed her forehead. As he admitted to being up pacing she blushed. " I really should have come down sooner." She placed a hand on his arm. " I'm sorry I kept you waiting."
Following his eyes she gulped but didn't blush. They weren't the girls she had to worry about. "Breakfast sounds wonderful, thank you." She stood and looped her arm through his and held his hand with a wink. "Been dieing to do this for weeks." She blushed slightly at the admission but was smiling like a dork.

Marc shrugged. "No worries... Im not inpatient... i just couldn't sleep... i was nervous and excited and a whole mix of emotions.." Marc was moving toward the door when he felt her take his hand.
He smiled. "You should have done this a lot sooner." He squeezed her hand and Started once more for food. His stomach was going to start grumbling soon too. And he had a feeling he would be majorly embarrassed if that happened... It was one thing for her tummy to grumble... but a whole different thing for his tummy to growl.
"Lets see what the have."

Anya blushed but couldn't stop giggling. "I suppose so. Hind sight is always 20-20, yes?" She was unbelievably happy at the moment and couldn't wipe the smile off her face. She couldn't stop looking at the necklace and running it back and forth on the chain.
"It's just awesome, thank you." As they entered the hall she heard several students snickering and gripped his arm a bit tighter. She hated when eyes were on her but tried not to let it affect her overly much. She would probably need to grab a bottle of the draught or Peace when she returned to the common room.
