[ It's growing darker and darker outside her window as the sun slowly starts to sink low behind the roofs of houses and beyond the horizon. It's cold out, she can see the trees almost looking as though they're shivering in the cold. Her garden hasn't been winterized either-- he's gonna kill her for that.

Or at least he would if he would get here already. She understands that he had an emergency meeting to attend to but he's LATE and the food is getting cold and the candles are gonna go out and she's getting more and more nervous about her gift for him and, well-- she can't remember the last time she was like this for Sinterklaas. ]

Haha, one of mine too! :)

[bellabelgium]

[ What's worse, the smile only gets her more annoyed. How dare he bring this garbage into her home. Frowns at him, giving him the benefit of the doubt for now. ]

...fair enough. But if I find out you've been eating SWISS CHOCOLATE behind my back--

[ He may as well have cheated on her. lol ]

[handelaar]

[Oh fuck, he can't. He starts chuckling at her outright, lightly crossing his arms over his stomach just in case she decides to smack him. If she really thinks he's sneaking Swiss chocolate behind her back... ]

[bellabelgium]

[ And it's a good thing he does because she's going for it right now, aiming a quick punch to his stomach and looking very huffy. ]

Jerk.

[ But she can't be mad... he's laughing and she loves his laugh so. ]

[handelaar]

[Oof. Doesn't stop him from looking entertained though.]

Hn. Sometimes.

[But he sobers up a little, reaches up to finger at her hair. He's... not actually sure if she made it look this nice on purpose or not but she did tell him he needs to work on his compliments, and he's been trying, so.]

Looks pretty, Bel.

[Keyword: trying.]

[bellabelgium]

[ Well now it's hard for her to keep up the grumpy look, especially with such a simple, sweet gesture like tentatively caressing a lock of hair. It's such a little thing that means so much, a barely there touch that has to much affection it almost hurts. She can tell he's trying and it makes her grumpiness melt away. ]

Thanks.

[handelaar]

[He gets halfway through a little grin when

his stomach GROWLS and completely ruins the moment.]

Uh.

[There's an owlish sort of blink and a furtive glance to the kitchen, then back to her. Food?]

[bellabelgium]

[ Blinks at that grown before she gives him a grin. ]

I was waiting for that. Take off your coat and lets go eat.

[handelaar]

[He nods and goes to the front hallway to take off both coat and shoes, hanging the coat on the rack just so and making sure his boots are out of the way. And when he comes back he's almost too impatient to wait on her to move first. You'd think he was a kid waiting for ice cream.]

Sorry I disappeared. I didn't have internet for a couple days. ;_;

[bellabelgium]

[ She can only give him a helpless shake of her head as she leads him into the kitchen. She didn't have time to relight the candles she had set out but they're burnt down about halfway, the food still warm on the stove and the plates still set on her small table. ]

I kept it warm for you. I hope you're hungry.

You okay though? Also Slowtopia, kicking out, etc.

[handelaar]

[He follows along almost like a puppy, eager and interested and so not sniffing the air, nope. Though he does pause when he sees the table and the candles, kind of quirks a strange little grin. It's. Cute. When she speaks he looks up again.

And raises both brows, like "you're kidding, right".]

Yeah, I'm fine. I was just terribly bored. And I KNOW I KNOW. Also, might wanna backtag soon.

[bellabelgium]

[ She catches that glance and laughs softly. ]

I know I know. Sit down and I'll get it ready for you.

[ And with that suddenly the kitchen comes to life again with light and smells and sounds and her humming to herself, clearly in a better mood now that he's here. Before he knows it there's a sliced roast beef on the table with vegetables and potatoes, set out with a chilled bottle of red wine. ]
