Derrick didn't know how it had slipped, but he realized that he had forgotten to tell Key that he had finally become an Eternal Senshi. It was a bit embarrassing really, but he supposed he had just been too surprised about it, and the subsequent events on his Homeworld that would still need to be dealt with, that he just... hadn't done it. And so today he knew he had to tell her. The weather was finally nicer, jeans and a hoodie instead of winter clothing, and they were able to meet up with each other before night fell. Still, he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous at all of this. He knew she would be delighted, but it was just... embarrassing? He wasn't sure but he knew he was happy about it and knew that it was worth celebrating at least, even if he thought he looked ridiculous. It was as though the 17th century had finally caught up with his outfit. From an office intern to way in the past it was... something else all right. For now though, he was waiting for Key to come, warm drink in hand for the slight chill that swept through every time the wind blew past him and one for her, and hoping he would finally be able to tell her.

Today had been a busy day at work, it meant not seeing Derrick till around dinner time. She'd kept in touch while at work, asking if there was anything he wanted her to pick up on the way home - anything he wanted to eat. She'd kept in touch as she normally would, they were good at communication. It was something they'd both gotten good at.
Even though he hadn't mentioned wanting anything for dinner she had run to the grocery store fast, wanting to get something for them to eat, so when she unlocked the door there was the rustling sound of grocery bags with her - the paper kind.
"Derrick." Spotting him rather quickly, their apartment wasn't the biggest after all, she couldn't help but smile. "I know you didn't say anything about dinner but I did some fast shopping on the way home. I thought we could make something quick to eat." Already closing, and locking, the door behind herself the shoes she wore were kicked off with ease, and gentleness, as she made for the kitchen counter to put the two bags down.
"Work was good?"

He cursed himself in his head as he realized he had forgotten about dinner. "Thanks Key. Totally forgot about it tonight. I'll be happy to help." Maybe after dinner he could tell her? At least when they were sitting around cuddling or something. Even then it didn't feel right, but he also didn't want to spring it on her if they were to power up together and her learning then and there. He quickly swooped in to kiss her on the mouth. "Work was fine." He replied after he had removed his mouth from hers. He didn't mention how slow it felt since he had wanted to leave so badly today. It was just normal work which was fine with him. No surprises at least. "What about your day?" He said while checking the bags to see what she had gotten. At least it would be good whatever it was!

"No problem, I thought something light wouldn't be so bad. it's too warm to want anything heavy." or to take the time to cook, and deal with the oven or stove top heat. It was some meat, something that would cook fast, and veggies and spices. It wasn't anything fancy but more something to toss together and give a try - an experiment.
"Mmmm." Humming as his lips drew away from hers, wishing it had drawn out just a bit longer, Key was tempted to press her lips to his but did refrain from doing so. "I'm glad work was good." Wetting her bottom lip she took a moment to look around before running her hand thru her hair. "Long and busy. I'm surprised i was able to find the time to text you at all." She didn't know why all these people came out when it was hot, to the point she didn't want to be out in it. But people had been out - lots of them.
"Let me get a drink and we can get to making dinner." And that was when she took the chance to press a quick, and gentle, kiss to the others lips. "Let's make it fast though...it's still warm out."

"Sounds delicious." Nothing fancy was needed. And it sounded healthy too. His favorite. He understood not wanting to take the time to cook tonight. Both of them were too tired to do so and the added heat of the oven, even he knew he didn't want that. He could tell she wanted more when she pressed her lips against his again. Quick, not deep at all, but it did make him wish that they weren't trying to make a meal at this point. Still, it would be better when they both had full stomachs. He took this chance to get out what they needed... ------------------- Was he in heaven or what? The meal they had made was amazing! Maybe it was the spices, but for some reason it tasted amazing tonight. "Key, I just want to say, this is amazing and we should do it more often." He said, taking another bite of the food. He had made sure to eat a bit slowly to savor the food and was a bit sad that he didn't have more room in his stomach. And he certainly wasn't going to try to force it down! While he was chewing his next bite he thought about what he should say to her. Maybe he should start it now... "Key I have some news to tell you." Well, hopefully that didn't give her any wrong ideas! Sometimes he wasn't sure about his wording. Ah well. "We can discuss it after we finish if you want."

She wasn't the best cook, she'd never put much time into learning to cook, but she liked to play with spices and mix things to see what came of it. It was a case of tasting the various spices, and herbs, she bought and figuring out what would work with what...and finding a balance. That was what tonights meal was - an experiment. It had turned out good, thankfully, and it seemed Derrick agrees with her.
"We can do this more often...maybe once or twice a week." Maybe some sort of a schedule could be made for this sort of thing. It wasn't such a bad idea in all honesty. it would keep them eating healthy and ensure a good meal.
Looking up from her drink she set the glass down with a shake of her head. "We can talk now. Is it good news?" She hoped it was, she didn't like the idea of bad news. They had things going well for them right now, she didn't want anything bad for them right now.

"Sounds good to me. Better than having to get food from somewhere all the time." He said taking another bite. There were plenty of places to get non-greasy food, but that usually got way too expensive and there was way too much salt. If they could figure out meals like this it might be more fun too. It's not as though he was opposed to cooking, he just wished it didn't take so long! He nodded at her question. "Y-yeah. Well, good in one sense, bad in another, but overall good." He said, taking a drink himself so that his throat didn't suddenly dry up when he told her. "And I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this sooner. I should have, but at least you'll be the first to know." Besides the cat that had upgraded him. He opened his mouth to speak again and wondered how he should say it... Whatever, he would just say whatever first came to his mind! "I'm an Eternal Senshi now." With an outfit that he thought was looked terrible in his opinion, but an Eternal nonetheless.

She would have continued, brought up an idea she'd been pondering for a week or two now, but Derrick was saying more and whatever it was it sounded bad. Something he should have told her but hadn't...and she was worried hearing his words as he started out. Ok...so by the end it didn't sound like whatever he had to tell her was going to be that bad, just a surprise it seemed like.
It was a surprise, that's for sure, but a good one. "Congratulations!" She was happy for the bit of news, it was a good thing. Moving to hug her partner, pressing his lips to his as soon as she found them. "That's good to know!" And she knew that could be both good and bad, such news was never all good...it couldn't be. This was a whole war and everything else...so at best it was good and bad when it came to news dealing with all things senshi.
"We'll have to patrol soon so I can see." And she should try and make knight at some point, she really should.

He was very happy to accept the kiss that had been given to him and took a few moments to enjoy it. When they were done he hugged her back. "Thanks, though you'll probably laugh more than be happy when you see what the outfit looks like." As weird as his Basic outfit had been, and then his second outfit looking just a bit more professional, this one looked as though it were a mishmash of time periods that didn't belong together. The worst part was his shirt being tucked in though. When he had powered up afterwards, he had to keep his mind off of un-tucking it in case it also looked weird the other way. "But I would love to go and patrol with you again. I haven't really been able to... test anything out with it, and while I wouldn't want us to get into a fight just because, I feel like I'm able to protect you and others better now."

"Is it really that bad?" She asked, sounding half curious and half sorry for her partner. He knew she didn't like her uniform either...though it had gotten better with shorts under the skirt. She still wasn't the biggest fan, as she'd have preferred full length pants and something that covered more skin. How on earth was she supposed to get into a fight with little protection? At least her vase was bigger and she could clunk someone on the head with it. But she still wanted better...and from the sound of it she wasn't sure she'd get it as a knight, since he was mourning his own eternal outfit.
"If it's this bad now I wonder what it was like over a thousand years ago." She teased, referring to the ancient past, as she ruffled her partners hair. "We should go out tonight for a patrol and you can show me this dreadful uniform...and test out your magic if we're lucky." He could take his upset over his uniform out on some youma, or maybe a few.
"I'm glad that you feel good about it, stronger, even if the uniform sounds bad. Sadly we get no say in the nonsense we get stuck wearing." Rolling her eyes she pecked his cheek once. "But we make the best of it and enjoy the power boost." Because that was what mattered to her, it was also a good way to forget her uniform. She really was not a girly girl who liked skirts and dressed and those sorts of things...and her uniform was not it - it wasn't her. But the power from page to squire had been nice.
"So...patrol tonight?" She asked, already figuring he'd be good with the idea.

He couldn't help but blush at her question. "I think it is. You might like it, but to me I just wish I could change it a little." Maybe he would find a way? If he did he would tell her about it in case she couldn't stand her Knight outfit as well. "Well, I hope they looked better back then." He replied chuckling a little. He knew she was teasing, but it did make him wonder. He was pretty sure they wore robes of sorts back then? At least from the pictures he had seen. He nodded. "I agree. I would love to take some of this energy from my embarrassment on a Youma or Agent. I feel like most of my strength is just from that alone!" He nuzzled her with his nose a little. He nodded once again. "Sounds good. Will have to wait a little for this food to settle, but after that I'd love to try it out!" Though he didn't want to run into too much trouble. After all, even if they were 2 against 1, if they were going up against a General, it could still be too dangerous for them to want to fight for too long. But maybe they would find a youma that they could dust?

"I might like it?" She asked raising a brow in question, curiosity peaked at the comment. "I don't know....but you have me wanting to see what your uniform looks like now." She added after a moment, he really did have her wanting to see. She wanted to see if it was as bad as he made it sound...ands f it was something she would like, as he seemed to think she might. He was lucky she didn't drag him out night now in order to see this uniform. But he did make sense, it wouldn't do to go running around on a full stomach. It was best they wait a little while at least.
"I think a youma would be good, for a slow night. I'm not looking to get into a fight. "Though she also wouldn't pass it up if an agent come across their path. She wasn't the sort to turn away from things...she was rather the opposite, the sort to jump right into things.
"Lets do the dishes, let ourselves digest a bit, then we can go out on a short patrol." That sounded like a good thing to her, and no dishes to do one they got home.

"Of course you do." Derrick replied with a slight eyeroll but smiling. He wasn't dismissing her feelings, of course he would let her see it, but he had been trying to dissuade her and managed to do the complete opposite! "Sounds like a plan then." He said as he started to gather the dishes from the table and move over to the sink. At least they wouldn't have to come home to one more chore needing to be done. Even if they didn't find anything to fight, she would at least get to see him powered up though with the feeling that he had felt when he was upgraded, he wondered if something was going on with his Homeworld...
