Yes, she does... AIM. XD; She's a bit off tonight, though, so she apologizes... She's skipping between a shower, food, and chores, and trying not to be absent while doing so.

I'm -GRA:LIUCVN:ENISND!-. IM me. wink
He shifts so he's sitting sideways on the couch, leaning his back against the arm of the couch, legs stretched out in front of him, and Thana still in his lap. He traces little circles on her back, idle curlicues, smiling.

Thana giggles, closing her eyes and memorizing the small patterns that Marmaduke traced on her back. Her tail lazily made it's way up onto the couch, resting lightly on Marmaduke's legs.

He smiles and continues the little swirls and sweeping arcs. "I love you," he murmurs into her ear. Eek, maybe he'd seen Mene being all cutesy around her boyfriend. Amazing how boys can turn some girls into complete brainless mush ("Hey, I resent that!"). But not Thana. Oh no. She is completely perfect in every way.

"I love you, too." Thana replies, her voice soft. Mmm.... Marmaduke knew just how to make her melt inside. He wasn't like anyone else she had ever met. He was quiet, like her, although she was more prone to letting her feelings show... And he cared about her. And oh, how she cared for him! Her ways of showing it were far different than any other, though. She didn't bother with compliments or public displays of affection; Instead, she relied on the soft looks and shy kisses that she gave to Marmaduke to show him how she felt.

Heh. The whole making-her-melt-inside may come from the fact that he's played by someone of the female persuasion.
"I want to spend the rest of my life with you," he says, his voice deep, husky, and sincere. He places a soft kiss on her neck just below her ear. And another one, just there on her jawbone. He hums quietly as he does so, still continuing the slow, easy rhythm of the silky touches on her back and shoulders. She can hear and feel his voice echoing deep in his chest.

*chokegag* It's sickeningly sweet. xD Oh, and i'm still on AIM, just dodging someone.
"That can be arranged." Thana replies, sighing softly as Marmaduke kisses her. She tucks her head underneath his chin, wrapping one arm around his stomach. With her other hand, she idly runs her fingers through his hair, placing soft kisses on his cheek from time to time.

Lordy, but I'm such a sucker for cutesy romance like this. heart
"Really now?" He arches an eyebrow and smiles softly at her loving attentions. "Tell me, how can this be 'arranged', as you say?" He smiles, a trace of laughter playing about his lips.

Thana shrugs, laughing softly to herself. "I suppose it's already started, in a way. With us spending time like this, I mean." Then, she wrinkles her nose. "I suppose next, we'd be buying a house... but that's a bit far off." In truth, the thought of leaving home was scary to Thana. She was still young, or at least, she felt young... And, although she was mature mentally, it still didn't help erase the dull, tapping thought of leaving her family behind.

"Let's not think that far ahead, hmm?" He says. "Let's think about now. Shall we dance?" He stands up, setting her gently on her feet. He goes to the stereo and puts on some nice classic dance music. Ballroom type. He goes back over to Thana and bows. "May I have this dance?" He asks, offering his hand.

A bright blush spreads over Thana's face, and she takes Marmaduke's hand, resting the other on his shoulder.
"It would be a pleasure to dance with you, good sir." She replies, smiling. Her head was spinning. A dance! How sweet!

Alright, time to put those dancing lessons from Nathaniel (who, little bugger that he is, seemed naturally gifted with dancing) to good use. He puts his other hand on Thana's hip and glides her around the room. None of that sissy high school dance stuff--no hugging and rocking back and forth for him! He realizes that it's really easy to lead, and occasionally, during a swell in the song, he'll give her a good twirl. He ends each song with a graceful dip.
My friend Nathan (who I based Nathaniel on, hehe) knows how to dance and all this stuff, he's so great at it. xp

As time passed, Thana felt herself being pulled further into the dance, and her mind quickly slipped into daydreaming mode. She was a graceful ballroom dancer, dancing with Prince Marmaduke at his twenty-first birthday party. And soon, he would whisper lovesick words into her ear, and she would forget that her fairy godmother had ever transfigured that pumpkin in Professor McGonagal's class...
Oh, wait. That was wrong... somehow... Thana's eyes glazed over as she tried to figure out how. Maybe it was the troll that transfigured the pumpkin... Or.... it was a gourd... But a gourd? That wasn't a standard fairy tale veggie.
Wasn't a pumpkin a fruit?

They fall into the steady rhythm of dancing. Eventually, however, the CD ends and they stop with one last flourishing dip. He leans down and kisses her. Then, instead of gently pushing her back to standing, he sweeps her off her feet and twirls her around a couple times in a fireman's carry. He smiles. "I love you." He sets her down lightly on her feet and places a chaste kiss on her forehead.

Snapping out of her daydream, Thana laughs, placing a kiss on Marmaduke's chin as he kisses her forehead.
"I love you too." She murmurs in reply, her eyes clearing of the dream-film that had covered them.
((Short, yes... please forgive me..))
