necroslacker: (you light up my life)

abandoned makeout shack; wednesday evening

So, it was Natalie's first birthday with Sam as her boyfriend and Sam kind of wanted to make that a memorable experience for her. Of course, that had been before this week had come along, leaving everyone wanting to jump everyone else at a moment's notice. Sam went ahead with his plans though. He found his way down to the cabins, picked one and actually started filling it with books, trying to make it resemble a library of some sort. Then, he set up a small table and two chairs, complete with candle in the center.

The food, it was takeout, but it was still hot and Sam was in a suit (different from the one at the dance) that included a vest and that was rocking pinstripes. He'd been going for dinner in a library setting since he knew how much she loved books and while having dinner in an actual library wasn't happening, he had money, he could buy books and then give them all to her if she hadn't read them before. He'd lugged his record player down as well, giving them some softer music playing to add background noise.

Now, it would be a struggle to see if they could get through dinner but Sam would try. And he was currently waiting outside the cabin for Natalie since he'd had her meet him there so he could set up and surprise her.

[For the birthday girl only, please!]

A smile spread slowly across Natalie's face as she took the scene in. It was... better than anything anyone else had ever done for her. It was beautiful, to her.

"It's a candlelit dinner. In a library."

Because she got what he'd been going for, yes. She turned and reached up to give him a quick peck on the lips. You know. As a thank you.
whenshewasnice: ([pos] Mischief managed.)

Oh, he was just pulling several right strings with her right now. She was seriously impressed, and the pleased little smile she gave him said as much.

"So," she said, stepping back a little to move to shrug her jacket off (enjoy those bare shoulders, Sam), "what's for dinner?"
whenshewasnice: (You caught me.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-02-15 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Natalie replied, not particularly bothering to hide her amusement at that wrong answer.

Hey, they were nice shoulders. "Fettuccine is fine."
whenshewasnice: ([pos] Admittedly a little funny.)

Natalie snorted, but took her seat, smoothing the skirt over her thighs once she had.

"Didn't quite take you for a gourmet chef."
whenshewasnice: (Your lips are moving.)

Natalie gave him an amused look for the question. "You're doing great," she said, picking up some pasta with her fork. "Not lame at all. I'm impressed."

She both meant and didn't mean that.
whenshewasnice: ([neu] Make you cave instead.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-02-15 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
He should've just been forbidden from talking about hotels at all. The random thrill of memory Natalie had just experienced decreed it so.

"Well, we already did that," she remarked, after a... deep breath. "This is new and different."
whenshewasnice: ([neu] Find perfection.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-02-15 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Go to a hotel? Probably not." Oooh, semantic accuracy was a friend. Except she wasn't sure she believed herself, and she really wasn't going to make any claims about... any other stuff.

She'd just nonchalantly eat some pasta right now.
whenshewasnice: (Well that's something.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-02-15 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
There was a pause, and then Natalie looked up again, and quirked a faint smirk at him.

"Sure."

She'd grown pretty fond of his lameness.
whenshewasnice: ([pos] Admittedly a little funny.)

About as soon as he started singing, Natalie raised a hand to her face as if to hide behind it, and peek at him from between her fingers, like she was embarrassed (for him, not herself) but amused all the same.

Also he was a little adorable.

"... Thanks."
whenshewasnice: (An intriguing concept.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-02-15 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Dinner might be more appreciated." She wasn't really a party hat kind of person. "This pasta's good. My compliments to wherever you bought it from."
whenshewasnice: ([pos] A certain look.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-02-15 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"So I've been told," Natalie drawled, though with a little smile. "Parents shipped me sheet music and some books. And a gift card for Turtle & Canary."

They were big on being sensible gift-givers.
whenshewasnice: (You caught me.)

Natalie snorted. "Stop picturing me in knee socks." Hey, if she was thinking about her legs in knee socks right now, then he had to be, too.
