This time he wasn't nervous. He wasn't sure exactly why, as he stopped outside Lily's door and knocked softly, because maybe he should be; of everything they had done together, this was probably the newest thing of them all, and though she had assured him that it was almost entirely safe...

But he wasn't nervous. He wasn't sure what he felt, humming through him. But it wasn't at all unpleasant.

In his other hand was a single long-stemmed rose, which felt appropriate, but it also felt something like an afterthought. This wasn't a date like the others.

Lily tugged a pillow closer, resting her head on it, though she didn't move away from Delta. She liked being near him, liked touching him, and she rested her palm against his stomach, tipping her chin slightly to look at him. "Yeah?" she asked, smiling. "What other things would you like to do?"

He reached down and cupped her breast, weighing it idly in his palm. Feeling how it fit. "I'd like... to go to the beach with you again. I'd like to dream with you again. I'd like to watch you dance. I'd like to have more dinners with you. I'd like you to come to dinner at my apartment. I'm still learning how to cook, but..." He laughed again. "Eleanor says I'm not so bad."

She laughed and said, "Well, you're one up on me, given that my solution to making dinner is usually picking up the phone." At first she thought she might be concentrating on that because she wasn't sure what to say to everything else, but she found, if she thought on it for a moment, she wanted those things, too. "We'll do those things. All of them and anything else we can think of."
