"I'm not cranky," Rohan said indignantly. "And I'm not all that complicated. No manual required to understand me. Just you. You know me better than anyone ever could or will," he said with a sideways smile in her direction. He offered her the cup back and waited as she used a little bit of magic to heat up the cup. After a moment a thin waft of steam came up from the cup, and the mug became nice and warm. With a smile, he lifted the cup back to his lips and took a deep drink of the tea. 

"You are right. It's even better warm," he said with a satisfied smack of his lips. He left the cup on the table and stood up to join her. "It isn't your worries I am ignoring. It is the offer of an out that I am ignoring," he said as he flopped down on the couch beside her, his long legs tossed up over the arm of the seat and his head resting on her lap. 

"I know you worry about that stuff, Hazel," he said as he relaxed against her. "I wish there was something that I could do or say to reassure you that I am not going anywhere. We're soul mates, Hazel. Aunt Lily predicted it years ago," he said. He sat up and looked at her. "And even without her match making abiities, I would not choose anyone else," he said. "No one compares to you, Hazel," he said gently as he caressed her cheek. "You are the most sensitive, sweet, affectionate, and passionate, and real girl I have ever known. And I will never let you go. And if anyone ever messes with you, they will find out that even if I am a teddy bear on the inside, I will not hesitate to go dire grizzly on then to protect you."

“Everyone else seems to think you are complicated.” She put her hand up to his face and gently caressed it for a moment. She only let her hand drop so she could heat up his tea.

“I’m normally right about things when it comes to teas and such.” She gave him a wink. Soon though they were discussing worries and their relationship. She did offer up an out ever so often because of her situation. She put her teacup on the side table as she pet his hair once he was in her lap.

“I do more than just worry about stuff Rohan. You know people say things and people aren’t kind to me.” She loved on him softly. She chuckled a bit. “You know we’re only truly soul-mates if we find the eternity rose and it blossoms into a rainbow right?” It was more of a jest but she knew what he meant. She loved him and nuzzled his hand softly. “Oh, so a real girl needs to have an eldritch beast in her.” She chuckled a bit.

She leaned down and brought his head up to kiss her. “You are sweet Rohan. Don’t you ever let anyone ever change you. I’ll be mad at you if you do.” She looked out the window and looked down at him. “You did really good today Rohan… Though you always have been quite the show-off.” She giggled at him and cuddled him close. For a moment there was a glitter in her eye before she decided they could have their alone time.

“Let’s go Teddy Bear,” She took his hand and pulled him over to the loft. Kissing him softly she pulled him down to her level. "You do an awfully lot of big talk and big actions outside of this house but can do you do them inside the house too?" She was being mischevious with him now as she pulled him by his collar.

"It might help, I mean, it keeps things interesting for us, don't you Jack?" Rohan said lifting his head and calling out to the plushy that was enjoying its sardines somehow. "And I am still looking for the rose. They are rather elusive, but I am looking."  He smiled up at her as they parted the kiss and rubbed his face into her stomach as she demanded that he never change. "I don't plan on it," he promised her. "And I have to do something to keep you interested in me. Does the showing off not work?" he asked looking up at her with giant puppy eyes. He chuckled and sat up as she urged him up and followed her up into the loft. He knew where this was going, and he was looking forward to it.    

He growled appreciatively at her as they kissed and she pulled him down with her by his collar. "Well," he growled softly as he pulled his shirt off, "you have yet to tell me I am disappointing you." A hand slid up her skirt and began caressing her thighs while he began kissing her neck, paying particular attention to the soft spot just below her earlobe. "But let's be honest… you are the one who knows all the fun stuff. I'm still learning from you…" he purred. He massaged her while paying particular attention to her neck.
