The ombre-colored Shetani had long since taken to Jekyll ever since that day at the market, and then the visit to his place. In the time between then and now, she had taken to him as her 'boyfriend' and made it a mission to stop by every-day to make sure that he is eating between his scientific experiments and what other machinations he has going on. Today had started out like any other, with the female stopping by with her own key to his place and letting herself in. Of course, with him so absorbed in his sciency-stuff, his place would be somewhat a mess like any other day. This had not bothered her one bit, just picking up as she goes along and set it somewhere so she can tend to it later.
Hortense grabbed an empty teapot and filled it with cool water before putting it above an open flame on the cookery. Two cups, both ladled with bit of sugar and a loose-leaf bag of tea was set up. Once the water started spurting out of the spout, she turned off the flame and poured it into the cup, steam coming out quickly like twirls of smoke in the air. "A little bit of cream for you, none for me," she whistled, setting the steaming cups of hot tea on a polished tray with a box of cookies she brought in. They were colorful but does not lend to its sugary flavor. They were just sugar cookies, plain ones at that. She then looked around at the dishes, there were barely any, which meant to her he hasn't eaten.
The next task was to check his fridge, leading her to think a trip to the market later for a little dinner for two is much needed. But for now, a bit of tea and cookies should do it! the Shetani happily thought to herself as she picked up the tray and made her way through the place that her beloved calls home. It took her a while, but she at least made it intact with the tea still hot and the cookies... well... still chewy. "Jekyll?" Hortense called out, entering the room that he was currently occupying with his science experiments and whatnot. She blinked and smiled, watching him as she moved along until the female was sure she was in his sight. The pae'il set down the tray and picked up a steaming hot tea, bit of sugar and cream in it just for him and brought it over.
"Hi!" she giggled, beaming. "Made you some tea. And a sugar cookie. Have you eaten yet? Got a new science thingy going on?"

On behalf of Tartara~ The past few seasons had been...
Bliss.
There was no other term for it. He didn't believe he had any right to be this happy, but he was. And every day he thanked whatever fate had brought the beautiful shetani bumping into him that market day. He never dreamed he'd find anyone who would so warmly accept him. To think about it he hadn't even gotten angry enough to black out since they met. He fell in love at first sight, and only seemed to love her more each day. How was that even possible?
As she bustled in his kitchen, he scribbled further down on an already quite long piece of paper filled with equations. He just couldn't seem to get the math right...
Then she spoke, and instantly the equation he had been tirelessly working on since the early morning hours didn't matter a lick to him. The fae perked upright, flashing a bashful smile. "You make the best tea. I am in your debt." She caught him red handed. Or rather, ink handed. There were smudges of ink on his hands and cheeks that had transferred from paper, to hand, to face. "Ah no. I just can't seem to get it to equal out. I need the right measurements to equal the force of the counterbalance, else the whole thing will collapse." Jekyll earnestly replied. She might not completely understand his ramblings, but she never made him feel awkward about them. So he was more than happy to share. He popped out of his seat to greet her. Ahh...he always wanted to kiss her directly, but how could one dare kiss a Goddess? Even if she was his girl....
Girl...
Partner. That was almost just as hard to think. "A thousand stars couldn't compare to how beautiful you are." He murmured under his breath before picking up a teacup to hide his blush behind a sip. "Did you have a pleasant morning?" Mmm. Tea with cream. It filled him with warmth she remembered his preferences.Dream Whitewitz girl...girl...Jekyll.exe has stopped working rofl

Hortense giggled. "You're silly. You just got cotton stuffed up in your brain. You need a break," she beamed at the opposite male. She pursed her lips as he explained his issue, giving a nod. "How about you stop thinking about it? Maybe it'll pop up. I know, you need some food in your belly! The best food is brain food! How about we go fishing later and we can catch a fish for dinner, fry it up for the two of us?" the female suggested, giving an exciting nod before she hustled and bustled around him.
The Shetani, though, had stopped when Jekyll paid her a compliment and gave him a brilliant sunny smile, which included a quick peck on the lips. "Most functional! I went to visit my Mama yesterday, came back this morning. Her gardens are growing, If I had a barrow, surely I would've come back with lots and lots of vegetables. You would really like sweet potatoes. Some don't, it's rather sweet than regular potatoes. And it is orange! Supposed to be better for you. But I got baby tomatoes though!. We can roast that with fried fish. Maybe some carrots. Wouldn't hurt to add a bit of cabbage to it too. Use up leftovers. When we are out, we could stop by and pick up some bread, so you can have toast and butter with some jam for breakfast tomorrow morning!" If there was one thing Hortense really excel at... it is filling up the room with conversation.
"Oh! Here. Sugar cookie, to dip in tea," the red-headed pae'il said, smiling once more as she held out the hard cookie to Jekyll.

Alt of Tartara Seabreeze;
---
Hmmm. Now that was a thought. "Yes...yes a break might be just what I need." He spoke before she bounced up to him. Soft lips touched his ever so briefly, making his whole face turn into a fireball. 'Ah g-g-good! Fish... vegetables.... all ...all good. Very good. Yes." No matter how many times she kissed h, even a chaste one scrambled his brains like an egg on a skillet. He gave mercy to his poor Shakey legs by sitting and quickly gulped another sip of tea. After a moment he finally regained his senses, just in time to take her cookie.
"You know, I could think up of a super bait for fishing. Maybe a mixture of meal worms and bugs..." Jekyll thoughtfully dipped his cookie before biting it. "Delicious! This does hit the spot! You really are....oh! Oh hold on." Suddenly the fae sprang up to his feet, set down the cup and hurried over to another desk filled with papers. "Where is it...where is it.....aha!" He plucked something from the stack. Then promptly reached to the side of the desk to grab a glass vase, with simple flowers stuffed in it.
He wasn't really good at the whole romance thing. But...here he went. Don't pass out, don't pass out.
Taking a Shakey breath, he walked back to Hortense, his face resuming it's red tint. "So...the other day I heard something peculiar. Around this time of season, annually there's this party. And. I...well." Bashfully he held out the vase as well as the invitation. "Would you...and I...and you...like to go? Together?"

"The whole point of the break is to stop using your super-smart brain to do things. Think... simple," Hortense giggled, smiling all the while. "We'll dig up some big worms on the way. Oh, I could use up the scones and leftover jam for snacks while we fish!" she clapped her hands excitedly and did a little turn-about dance while wiggling her feet in anticipation of the little fishing trip to the nearby water source. Nothing like leaning on Jekyll and listening to him trying to explain something. The Shetani shook herself out of her little daydream and looked at the opposite male, having a rather curious expression on her face due to his slight erratic behavior. She was quite used to that by now, how he behaves around him versus how he behaves around others and how he behaves when he thinks he is by himself. All in all, the red-head thinks he is just ultra adorable when he gets all flustered like that... like what he is doing now.
"Mmm?" she asked, sidling up to Jekyll and leaned on him when he returned, holding something. A vase with flowers and an invitation. She blinked, her eyelashes fell against her cheeks for a moment before it fluttered upward. "For me? They are pretty! A little mashed, but that makes them unique. Just like you!" she beamed, taking a sniff of the flowers, giving a light giggle. "Party? Oh yes, Mama said there is a like a party for love or something. She went once. It was fun. She got Blush from it. Oh, what were you asking? Sorry, I went la-la there for a second!"
"Pardon? Are you asking me on a date this time?" the female asked, her smile dialed up so brightly. "With you? I will! We can go together! You are my boyfriend after all! It would be hardly right to go without you!"

Taking full on breaks was something he wasn't very used to. Hortense was a surprisingly grounding force for him. He'd always stop what he was doing for her tea. If he hadn't eaten all day -like today- he'd stop and eat with her. He was really... really head over heels for her.
She was so warm, and as she leaned against him he wondered if she felt his heart beat thumping in his chest. Though he knew it impossible, it felt like it could escape his ribs at any moment. Jekyll gave a little nod in affirmation nthat it was the same party she was referring to. And then another tiny nod at the date part. He was actually doing it. He knew she was way out of his league, of course she'd say no- and then she said yes. His eyes widened before a bright smile popped on his face. "Excellent! I thought you might enjoy- it" The 'it' came out as a squeak as it registered fully what she said. She actually said boyfriend! BOYFRIEND. It echoed in his head louder than if it was yelled into a cave. He was her boyfriend. "Oh. Um. T-teeny?" The blood was roaring through his ears as his chest thumped. "Can I....may I..." He reaches up to gently touch her cheek. "As your boy...friend...may I kiss you?"

Hortense blinked, raising an eyebrow ridge up at Jeykll's attempt to vocalize his next sentence. She waited patiently, though it was a bit hard for her to stay still in one spot so she just tapped her foot against the floor to relieve some energy that was pent up. "Ye-yes?" she asked, looking curious now. "Kiss me? the red-haired female repeated before blushing lightly, giving a nod. "You may! I mean, you can! I mean... oh! I would love a kiss!"

Her surprise was rather mirrored. After all, he was shocked too at his boldness. But her agreement to go to the party with him made him feel like he was riding a wave of luck, and he decided that for once in his life he'd ask for a little more than he believed he should get.
He didn't say anything when she brightly responded. His voice box wouldn't have worked anyway. And before he lost all nerve he had to act now. The fae softly exhaled, leaned forward, and softly but firmly pressed his lips on hers. One hand remained on her cheek as the other slipped around her waist to bring her body closer into his. Unlike their previous pecks, he lingered, savouring the moment as his mind completely blanked. For once in his life, he didn't think of anything, but for the sweetness of her scent, and the softness of her lips, the silk of her hair brushing on his arm and the warmth of her body.
Slowly, reluctantly, he pulled away. His heart was hammering in his chest as his eyes locked onto hers. His head felt like in the clouds.
No. Wait. No he REALLY felt light headed. "Wow..." He whispered a moment before he fell to his feet like a limp noodle, passed out cold.

Hortense pursed her lips, licking them before the opposite male made his move. She waited in sheer anticipation at him making the move this time around. It was rather nerve-wracking, in fact until he kissed her. She saw floating hearts, heard a perfect chord singing in her heart. The red-haired female sighed happily, opening her eyes when Jekyll broke the intimate connection between them, and then she smiled.
Though that was too soon, when the male passed out cold on the floor. She looked at him in disbelief. "I know I'm good, but I'm not that good!" the shetani sighed, smacking her forehead. "Whatever am I going to do with you, cutie?"
