"Well, then if I'd only ever heard you say it I probably wouldn't mind it."

Snuggle. Kiss?

Kissing is good.

Then they can do lots of kissing. Does moving the neckline on her shirt to have more kissing access count as kissing (which is good) or Other Stuff (which is awful?)

That's - exciting for like half a second and then worrisome and then scary and maybe this is kind of terrifying actually.

Oh, okay. 

He stops. 

"- it's okay. It's okay, I'm not gonna - sorry."

Nodnodnod.

 

"...sorry."

"- what for?"

Permalink

"For - I don't know. Being - scared."

Permalink

"Love you."

Permalink

Silent sort of clingy anxious snuggles.

 

"Thank you for stopping."

"Cecelia - I don't want to hurt you. I'm not gonna just - suddenly want to hurt you."

Nodnodnodnod. "I know. - most of me knows it."

Patpatpat. "I'm never gonna get angry at you for being scared."

...snuggle.

"You're very wonderful, do you know that?"

Permalink

"I think maybe you have been treated very poorly for a long time."

Permalink

"...possibly also that."

Forehead kiss. Very gently.

She melts a little.

 

"If you married me, it - might still be scary but it wouldn't be - wrong, at all. But I don't know whether fairies can."

Permalink

"Why not?"

"It's all right to sleep with someone if you're married. Otherwise it's bad for humans, I think, even if everyone is trying to be good."

Permalink

"Hagan said. I mean, why can't I marry you."

Permalink

" - oh. Well. Traditionally it involves promising to stay with someone until one of you is dead."

Permalink

"So if Elizabeth teleports one of us somewhere for some reason we die?"

"...no, it's not meant to mean staying with each other physically all the time, there are circumstances under which it makes sense for a husband to be separated from his wife for a time. It means - promising to take no other wives and sleep with no one else, promising to try to take care of someone, promising to love and to honor someone as long as you both live. But - I don't know that it's meant to be something you'll never fail at. It's meant to be - a standard that you'll never stop trying to hold yourself to, even if you fall short occasionally. I suppose there might be a way to reflect that in the wording."
