[MaMa] Dinner, a song, and love
#1
[html]

Adrian had been planning this day for a while now. He had to make sure he had every little detail right. He wanted the night to be perfect for him and his love. Adrian was a very caring man and he loved seeing the smile he could bring to Rio's face. And he intended on seeing that smile a lot tonight. Adrian looked outside the window at the sun as it was just dipping below the tree line. Time to set his plan in motion. Adrian stood up and stretched until he heard some pops and cracks, then he relaxed with a sigh, a confident grin spreading across his face. Time to go and get Rio, he thought with a smile. Rio had gone out to pick some herbs. Adrian wasn't completely sure what the herbs were for. Maybe medicine or maybe food. But either way Adrian knew where she would be.

As Adrian left the house and headed towards Rio's favorite herb spot, he went over a check list in his mind. He didn't think he had forgotten anything. He had made sure he didn't forget anything. Adrian, satisfied that everything was ready for tonight, went to find Rio with a renewed purpose. He grinning just thinking about the look of surprise that was sure to be on Rio's face. That thought kept him smiling until he finally arrived at her favorite spot.

It was a nice part of the woods, where an assortment of herbs grew. Some could be used for cooking, something Adrian had learned in preparation, and for other countless needs. And of course, there was Rio, bending down and looking over some plants that Adrian couldn't identify. Adrian walked towards her, making enough noise that she had to know he was there. She glanced over her shoulder at him and smiled. She picked one of the plants out of the ground and put it in her back before standing up. Adrian loved Rio to no end, even though she was nearly two feet shorter than him. Adrian bent down and nuzzled Rio, kissing her on the cheek. "Hi" he mumbled in her ear with a smile. He straightened back up and grinned at her, though the rest of his expression was controlled. "Are you done here love? Because I have a surprise for you back home." He said, waiting to see what she had to say to that interesting fact.

There was a favorite herb spot she had in mind while making her way into the woods. Ever since she had moved in with Adrian, she had to find all new resources to pick from. The herb spot was a gem that she found first before all the others. Other than the little herb clearing, there were also a few others around the area as well as a big yard behind their house. She was able to grow her own herbs in the backyard as well.

Her life at the moment seemed unrealistic. She was at a point in her life where she never thought she would be – in love and happy. She vigorously picked leaves off of a bush thinking about her mate. The thoughts about him made her so happy, no matter what kind of mood she was in beforehand. Hearing Adrian’s footsteps behind her, she toyed with the leaves clenched in her hand before hastily shoving them into her bag. Then she turned to face him with a smile. ”Hi.” She smiled and bit her lip looking at her handsome mate. He just turned her on. There was no questioning that. She took him in her arms and held him from the waist, since he was so much taller than her. ”A surprise?” She gasped playfully and looked up at him, throwing her head back to see him all the way up there. She squeezed him tighter, ”What kind of surprise?” Like he would tell her.

Rio's smile always did weird things to Adrian's heart. And the way she bit her lip made him want her in ways she couldn't imagine. He took a second just to look at her face and her eyes. Adrian felt like he was dreaming. Sometimes he was worried he would wake up and Rio would just be gone. Maybe that was why he did sweet things for her, he was worried if he didn't she would disappear.

Adrian laughed as she asked him what kind of surprise it was. He looked down at her with a grin, "You really think I'm that easy love?" He asked as he took h er hand. "Let's go back to the house." Adrian said, as he lead them back to the house. On the way to their house Adrian would often glance over at Rio and look at her, feeling the love for her rising up inside of him. He had never knew it was possible to love one person so much.

When they arrived at the house Adrian turned to Rio and smiled, "Okay, time to let me cover your eyes." He moved behind her and covered her eyes then he bent down to whisper in her ear, "You ready?" Adrian whispered before straightening up and leading Rio into the house. He lead her down a small hall way to a spare room they had. They moved into the room and Adrian had to grin at his work. There were two tables in the room, one had a glass vase with a flower bouquet in it and it had a rabbit stew on their. The other table held cooked and seasoned deer on it. Adrian had also managed to find a human wine bottle that was unopened that he had placed on the second table. There were lit candles in different places across the room. The last thing was Adrian's guitar in the corner. Everything in the room only took up a little space though, there was still enough open space in the room for what Adrian had planned afterwards.

Adrian let his hands drop from Rio's eyes. Adrian watched her beautiful periwinkle eyes to see her reaction. Now it was Adrian biting his lip in anticipation.

She let Adrian take her hand and lead her back to the house without another word. She happily pranced behind him, smiling whenever she saw him glancing back at her. Once they reached the house he asked her if she was ready. She could feel the excitement bubbling up inside of her and suddenly she felt nervous. Though, a big smile still remained on her face and she still managed to blurt out, ”Yes!” Then she allowed him to cover her eyes and lead her into the house.

She stepped carefully, not wanting to trip and fall like a buffoon. Adrian carefully led her throughout the house and she had no idea what room he was taking her to, but finally they stopped. Then he dropped his hands, and Rio dropped her heart. The room was decorated nicely – flowers, food, and music (as she eyed the guitar). The food looked delicious, and cooked. She silently wondered how Adrian managed that. She didn’t even know how to cook. A large smile snuck its way onto her lips and she spun around to jump into his arms. ”Oh, it’s beautiful! Thank you, my love!” Though, it wasn’t over yet. She would wait until he led her to her seat, like a gentleman would.

Adrian caught her as she jumped into his arms. He chuckled, nuzzling the top of her head with a grin. He waited until she released him from her death grip hug. Adrian moved one claw under her chin and tilted her head up to look at him. He bent down and kissed her, a quick, loving kiss that he put all of his love into. He wanted her to know that all of this was for her. He had worked to make everything perfect for her. She was his one and only love and he intended to show her that. He let his paw drop from under he chin, but put one paw on the small of her back and lead her to one of the two seats. He pulled the chair out and smiled at her, waiting for her to sit down.

When Rio finally sat he pushed the chair in and gave her one more quick kiss before winking at her and moving to the second table in the room. He got the wine bottle and took the cork in between his teeth and pulled it out. He walked over and poured her a glass of wine, along with one for himself. There was also some vodka, if Adrian felt that the wine wasn't strong enough. But he would much rather they both be somber for the rest of the night. Or at least until they left this room and he showed her his love behind their bedroom door. For now, he was being romantic. He grinned at her, a nervous smile that hinted at how excited he was, "So my love, what do you think?" He said, sweeping his hand to take in the room around them, with all of his special planning.

Rio quietly followed as she was led to her seat, and sat carefully. As he pushed in her chair, she was able to see everything much better now that she was in a stationary position. She eyed the wine as Adrian went for it, and inhaled the aroma deeply. She picked up the glass when he was done and took a sip, and then placed it carefully back on the crowded table. ”I think this is really cute.” She appreciated his effort just as much as she appreciated him.

Her eyes wandered over everything, looking it all over for a second time. Then her eyes reverted back to him. ”Well, sit down! The food’s probably getting cold.” Now she was ordering him around, like she usually did. She had a good way of doing that. But she returned a smile to him, and added, ”Please?” She wanted everything to be perfect and she didn’t want him worrying about it too much.

He grinned as she told him it was cute. He was glad she liked it. He had taken a while to get all of this together but it had already been worth it ten times over. He would do it all again in a heartbeat. He chuckled as Rio ordered him to sit. Adrian loved Rio to death, but he was very independent. If he didn't want to do something, nothing in the world could make him. But for Rio, he wanted to do everything. So he sat.

He took a sip of his wine as well, enjoying the sweet, tart, taste. He set the glass on the tap and looked at Rio with a grin, "So love, you want to go ahead and try my cooking?" He asked with a grin, laughing softly. Adrian had gotten points from various members of Cercatori d'Arte. They had been more than willing to help and he had practiced for hours so he wouldn't burn the meal or mess up the seasoning. He was excited to see what she thought. And, amazingly, he had enjoyed cooking almost as much as he enjoyed his music. He tasted the stew with a smile at Rio, before grinning. This was his best attempt yet. Maybe when it had come down to cooking it for real, he had tapped into some kind of untouched potential for cooking. Or something. "It is really good. Go ahead and try it." He said, watching to see her reaction.

Rio nodded and without hesitation, picked up one of the tiny human spoons. She dipped it in the stew, picking up a chunk of meat, and shoveled it into her mouth. The soup part had flavor, a rich flavor that had Rio wanting more, and the meat was equally flavored. She didn’t eat cooked meat often, and this seemingly shed a new light on the subject. She quickly took another spoonful to make sure that what she tasted was really there.

It was. Her tail thumped on the back of the chair and she beamed toward Adrian. ”Your cooking is wonderful, my love! Well done!” Then Rio continued to gobble down the soup, taking a sip of wine here and there to wash what meat had become lodged in her throat, down. She took a mental note that she would need to have him teach her one of these days. Cooking her meat would come in handy.

OOC: Sorry for the wait and the sucky post ;_;

Adrian's face lit up as he saw the awed look on his love's face. He was happy to see that she enjoyed his cooking, and he started eating as well. He had to admit that the stew was delicious. They ate without conversation for a few minutes and Adrian thought about everything that he had wanted to do tonight. There was still the venison to eat. He had also prepared that by cooking it. And the he wanted to play a song for his love and dance with her. They wouldn't have music to dance too, since he couldn't play and dance at the same time, but he hoped it would be just as good. Adrian took a sip of his wine and smiled, at Rio as the two of them finished up the stew. Then he got up and collected their plates without a word. He refilled their wine glasses and then set the cooked and seasoned deer in front of her, setting another plate at his spot.
He sat down before finally looking at her with a grin, "That wasn't even the main course." Adrian said, his grin growing. He enjoyed pampering Rio, though it was rare he did something this big. He still often tried to give her gifts or show her he cared. Adrian had always been one to make others happy and blame himself if they weren't. He took another sip of wine and said, "Would you like to try the first bite love?" He knew how much she had enjoyed the stew and hoped the deer was just as good.

It was a good thing wolves could eat so much in one sitting because as soon as she was done with the stew – Adrian was scooping up their plates and replacing them with another meat-filled dish. The slab of deer, as it looked like, looked tasty, and Rio nodded and didn’t hesitate when she was offered to be the first to test it out. She didn’t bother with the knife or the fork, and just picked up the piece with her fingers and took a large bite out of the cutlet.

The flavor was savory, as had been the stew, and the usual toughness of the meat was now soft and melted in her mouth. She liked the new flavors it had – she wasn’t used to cooked meat, but she was slowly beginning to enjoy it more than plain prey. She continued to gobble down the venison, and Mmm’d and nodded towards the love of her life. ”Very good, baby! You have to teach me how to cook one of these days.” Then she could go picking herbs and spices along with medicinal herbs. Maybe she could even make medicinal food. Aromatherapy, but with food. That would be pretty awesome.
