What? Nothing.
I mean, I just made something for you. From scratch! Not a doodle, I promise.
I was going to give it to you in person, but it's actually maybe for the best that you weren't home. Just. Because.
It's kind of more fun this way, I think.

[He was just rounding the corner to the street his house was on, crossing it and coming up to look at... oh. Oooh.]
That's, uh... some pretty suggesting symbolism there, Rach. Kind of wish you were here for this.
[Because guess where his brain had gone? Yep.]

So your point was to give me a present that sort of instantly turned me on? Good job. Consider your point made.
[He was picking up the little treat, unlocking the door and walking in to go put the groceries away, looking at the strawberries with a mix of hungers.]

I was thinking we could share the strawberries.
[ she should stop being a weenie about this, but being on the phone with him instead of there in person is giving her more time to think and fret and think some more. when the whole point was maybe that she didn't want to think about it anymore. ]
So there would be a very good reason for it. You being turned on, I mean.
If you see what I'm saying.

[He paused with the milk halfway to the fridge. Was she saying that she... like... all the way? With him? He almost dropped the milk, recovering just in time to put it where it belonged and be silently grateful she hadn't seen that.]
Are you, uh, saying that we should... I mean, that you want to... eat the strawberries? Together?
Are you, uh, saying that we should... I mean, that you want to... eat the strawberries? Together?
I think I'm saying that I'm open to that being in the realm of possibilities. For after we share those strawberries. Yes.
[ she clears her throat, and she's just laying on her bed and staring up at her ceiling while she talks, but she's starting to notice that her heartbeat is going haywire and her brain function is following suit ]
-- I was thinking about it and then I was trying to figure out how to just tell you, and I don't know, throwing myself at you and making it seem like it was just this spontaneous need isn't really my style, so. I wanted to let you know that I've been thinking about it, and that I want to, and that it's kind of silly to put it off when we both want to, so I covered strawberries in chocolate.
We can share those and talk about it and- whatever you want.
If you want.

If I want? You're kidding me, right? I very much want. Much want. Big want. All the want. I'm a wantasarus rex. I just didn't want to, uh, push or anything. So if you want to talk about it, I'd really like that.
A lot.
Do you want to maybe come over? Or should I...?
[How come his palms were suddenly sweaty? It wasn't like he hadn't done things with her before. But this was a little different. This was potentially the 'big deal'. And yes, it was a big deal.]

You should probably come over here, now that I'm thinking about it. Um. Probably without Hale. I feel really bad even saying that, but, I'll draw him up a five-course dinner later. I guess just- privacy is ideal, right? Which we'd have here. For sure.
[ so much for not planning any of this....... she'll scold herself for it later. ]
So, you should come over.
[ so much for not planning any of this....... she'll scold herself for it later. ]
So, you should come over.
I should. Yeah. I'll just--
Let me put all this stuff away first and I'll head on over.
[Groceries needed to be stashed and he wanted to grab a quick shower first. Hey, no way was he going over for that and smelling like he'd been working all day. Clean underwear time. Preferably the ones with her initials on them.]

Yeah. Okay, yeah. Take your time, I have to- do. Stuff.
[ like pretty much all the same stuff he's doing, yep. ]
But I'll see you soon? And then we can talk. Again. About everything.
[ she huffs a laugh, squeezing her eyes shut and willing herself to keep it together at least until she ends the feed ]

[ In honour of the god centering on love being a giant frilly prissypants, Loki sends his own little gift just a few hours after hers.
His box of chocolate will look, smell, and taste exactly like Freya's did, appearing right next to where Freya's was or is if you haven't picked it up yet. The only difference between the two is that Loki's won't lift your mood; it'll give you loud and embarrassing flatulence for the next three hours.
It's also accompanied by a note. ]
Where joy might bring about yearning, it also welcomes wonder.

[ Rachel knows she should be spring-boarding off the bed to get into the shower and get ready, but she spends a couple of minutes just laying on her bed, looking up at the ceiling and thinking this over. all of it. the strawberries and the strawberries and how she might've gone to the clinic to get the skinny on the whole birth control thing, whether it was necessary or not. she didn't want to think or worry about all the technical safety stuff later, once he was here, so she's doing it now. but really, there's nothing to worry about at all.
so.
eventually she does roll off of her bed, taking a second to put fresh water in the vase with the flower he got her before finally heading out to the bathroom to shower. she gets extra scrubby too, makes sure she doesn't miss any spots when she's shaving her legs. right, yes.
she still just gets into a fresh pair of jeans and a t-shirt, but oh well. she can't try to deal with getting 'dressed up' when she's already so nervous.
so now she just needs to wait until he gets here. and she'll do so right in the same place she was about twenty minutes ago, staring up at the ceiling and trying to tame the butterflies in her stomach ]
