I'd do anything for love... but doing that may not have been the best idea [completed]

Character(s): Vyers, Gwen, Genie, Urd
Content: Date + Contest = Disaster
Setting: Elysian Fields
Time: Week 28, night
Warnings: none!

His arm entwined with Gwen's, Vyers couldn't help but wonder just what he had gotten himself into. He hadn't been expecting so many offers to help over the journals. Really, all he had wanted was a suggestion so he would be able to take her out to dinner. Although now that he thought about it, he really should have known, shouldn't he? He himself had noticed a few similar entries on the network from time to time, hadn't he?

Vyers supposed he should be somewhat grateful for Urd and Genie's offers to help, but instead he felt quite nervous about the whole thing. There was some sense of foreboding deep down that he couldn't shake about this whole thing, as though something--or many things--were about to go horribly wrong. He tried to keep his worries to himself, however, and keep Gwen from noticing.

He needed to be more optimistic, that was all. Everything would go just fine.

He didn't really believe himself.

Urd laughed quietly, still watching the couple they were trying to help. They really did seem more at ease without their presence, but she couldn't hear them all the way out here! She considered sending a Mini Urd...

"Hm, I guess so. We all have our weaknesses, right? Polka's not that bad." Urd glanced at the djinn from the corner of her eye, her smile soft. "Not compared to my weakness for big blue magical spirits with goatees."

“Yeah, that is a pretty big one.” He replied, unaware that it been in fact him that the goddess had been referring to. His own eyes had wandered back to the ‘lucky couple’ who indeed did appear more relaxed. Somehow the right atmosphere had been captured without his alluring accordion music. Although, there was still time during dinner to squeeze in a few romantic melodies from the squeezebox itself. With the knowledge that Urd was alright, Genie felt as though he could start to focus on dinner again. “Blue goats are one of mine too.” he added before it occurred to him just what had been said.

“Oh.”

Slapping his hand over his face in embarrassment, Genie looked away from the goddess. Any smoother and he might as well have called himself ‘Vyers’. Still… Slowly, the genie turned to look back at Urd, peeking through his fingers curiously. All the while, the fingers belonging to his other hand shyly walked across the table toward her hand.

As he peeked through his fingers at her, her smiled widened. No one could ever call him smooth, exactly, but she'd had her share of smooth. Her own hand walked on painted nails to meet his. Still watching him with glittering dark eyes, she laced her fingers with his and leaned forward a bit. "Genie..." she said softly, the tiny orbs of light from the fields like little stars all around them. Urd moved closer, fingers brushing the side of his hand. She opened her mouth.

"Ah! They're getting away!" She removed her hand and pointed to Vyers, who was presently lifting Gwen and charging boldly away from their carefully constructed romantic setting. Urd shot to her feet, scowling. "We can't let them do that! I'm not done!"

His fingers slipped away from his face at her touch, his gaze quickly wandering down in surprise before notable smile spread across his lips, watching as their fingers intertwined. It felt right to him and quickly put his worries at ease. Through hooded lids, his dark eyes looked into hers and he too moved closer. His other hand slowly moved forward, longing to hold hers as it brushed against him. Yes, they were getting way.

“… Getting away?” Genie rose to his feet and looked out to where Vyers and Gwen had been sitting only moments ago, their seats now vacant. What had- was that-? Following Urd’s line of vision, he pushed back his chair, preparing to fly after the now fleeing pair. They were leaving? But dinner hadn’t even begun! “I haven’t even served appetizers yet!”

Urd rose up in the air, hand clenched into a fist. "That ungrateful demon! After everything I've done for him!" Once again, the goddess had completely forgotten the point of the evening, her temper getting the best of her. "They are going to sit down and enjoy a magical evening of romance whether they like it or not!" And she was off, flying after them, gritting her teeth.
