Paris in Springtime

((Rp for [livejournal.com profile] dreamsofmazes for Iris verse))

They had been back in Paris for two weeks. Despite returning with her, Arthur had given her space. Assuring the warehouse was clean, he released the rental and then set about finding his own place. Settling in, he made himself do what might have made him nervous otherwise. Furniture, his clothes shipped in, even plants in the kitchen and bathroom, offering a hint of hominess to it all.

Only after it was all done did he send the invitation to Ariadne, inviting her over for dinner. Preparing, he set the table, ordered the food and then moved it all to pots and pans to make the pretense that he might know how to cook more than the handful of meals he tended to make for himself the few times he had kitchens in his hotel rooms.

Dressed careful, button down shirt, tucked in but sleeves rolled and collar unbuttoned, slacks and loafers. Lighting the candles on the table, going all out, including pastries waiting for dessert.

She laughed at that, sending a playful smile his way. "Debatable." She teased, only to lean up an place yet another kiss on his lips. One more light and calm, and a filled with content happiness.

"It will take a lot of convincing to forgive you. We'll see how it goes."

"I had planned on it happening out there, by the view, not in the bathroom," he pointed out with a soft laugh, his fingers twining with hers. "I am sorry for that."

She hummed slightly, pleased at the idea of that. "Really?" She started, her fingers brushing against his knuckles, as she pulled him back out towards the window.

"Can you really, honestly, plan for that sort of thing?" Her eyes glancing up towards him with a curious smile. "Because if you can. I would love to see what you planned."

"I actually had," he admitted. "A little wine, talking and then maybe out by the window, looking at the view. Not the bathroom," he teased.
