[She frowns a little when he mentions that he keeps making mistakes that effect both of them. She really doesn't want him to try and change to just protect her. Relena sighs softly as he kisses her hands again and rubs his cheeks against them. He really is too sweet and adorable...]
Zack, please. We are both bound to make mistakes. I'm bound to say or do something to draw attention to myself eventually that will probably reflect poorly on both of us simply because I refuse to stay silent on my personal beliefs.
[She pulls one hand free from his so she can run it through his hair before cupping his cheek.]
Don't work yourself to death on my account. I am perfectly content with whatever you provide and if you want to make sure we have enough to pay off any fines we gain, I can always get a small part time job to help with savings. It's really not fair that I stay home while you do all the hard work.
[Even if she's not inclined to be in public just yet, Relena is determined not to let him carry this burden alone.]
But if you make a mistake it's okay, you're my submissive. It's okay and expected in this place. When I make a mistake I'm a bad dominant, I'm a failure as a protector and provider. I know you say I'm not but I am in the eyes of this place and others...its...it's hard Relena.
[He leans into her touch, rubbing his face against her small hand.]
I just want to do something right for once. I feel like I haven't done anything right since I've woken up from those mako tanks...my life has been upside down since then and maybe even before that. I just...I want to be the hero in your eyes, I want to earn that place in your heart and I haven't yet.
[She's quiet for a moment. While being a submissive might be an excuse for some mistakes she might make, she doubts it will be an excuse for all of them. Eventually she will say or do something that might issues that will get her punish either by the city or by the city forcing Zack to punish her. Relena runs her thumb over his cheek as he presses into her touch and then sighs softly.
No one can predict what the future holds.]
What this society thinks hardly matters to me. They can say what they want. I am the only one who can truly decide whether you are a bad dominant for me or not and I say you are the best dominant I could have ever asked for.
I can even say that I am extremely lucky to have you in my life.
[Another soft sigh as she leans in to press her forehead against his.]
Zack, It's alright to desire to be the hero but, it's not something that can be forced. Just be yourself and stand firm in your beliefs. That is all anyone can do when faced with impossible tasks and demanding forces determined to break the people around them.
[She smiles a little.]
Now, if you really want to do something right, then kiss me.
[Zack’s heart starts to beat faster at Relena's words. Everything she says is so kind and sweet and most importantly reassuring to him. It's Everything he's been needing to hear and it just feels like weight and pressure is being lifted off his shoulders at least for this short time with her. For a brief respite with Relena things are okay.
He doesn't waste any time to kiss her as he leans in to carefully capture those lips against his own, cupping her cheeks and holding her there as if the moment the kiss ended he'd crumble. He doesn't crumble of course when the kiss does end but he does kiss her again, just as soft and loving to her cheeks, each one and then her nose and her lips once more. ]
I wanted this Valentine's day to be a bit more romantic but I guess I kinda made it depressing in a way. I'm sorry, I'm happy I still got to kiss you and that you like your presents though....you really do mean so much to me.
[He let's their foreheads touch as his hand tangles itself in Relena's hair.]
I'm lucky to have you in my life too. Before I met you I thought I'd never have another partner again not just cause of my bad luck but...I didn't want to open myself to the pain of losing another person. I'm still worried sometimes I might wake up and you'll be gone like the others but...I wouldn't regret this time we have together. I wouldn't change any of this.
[As their lips meet, she can tell that her words have finally eased his worries and reassured him. Relena meant every word of it. She wants him as her dominant and won't even consider anyone else. Even if the city tries to make her, she wouldn't. He needs her and she needs him.
Relena's a little flushed as he finally breaks the kiss. Even as his lips press against her cheeks, then her nose and then her lips again... Relena can't help but smile and kiss him back, even if it is a brief kiss.]
Even if it has got a little depressing, I think we can still have a romantic day.
[She closes her eyes for a moment as their foreheads press together and his hands tangle into her long, blonde hair. Her own hands come up to cup his cheeks and caress his skin as she smiles a little more.]
I'm glad you gave me a chance to be your partner. Lets make sure to live every moment to its fullest.
[Her scent may be growing a little stronger just from the kisses and the tender moments they're sharing. This is something Relena will cherish until one of them is forced to leave this city. ]
[It's almost too easy how Zack stands and just wraps one arm around Relena and is able to lift her as if she was weightless. He carries her over to the bed and gently lays her down. He doesn't get any spicier than that wih his actions, instead laying beside her and just holding her. Their conversation was too meaningful and even with her scent changing a little he wants to just hold her right now and enjoy this time with her in his arms.]
Would you...would you like to maybe have a permanent contract with me Relena?
[It still amazes her just how easily he can pick her up like this! She smiles as her arms slip around his shoulders as he carries her to the bed and then gently lays her down. Even if they don't get spicier than this, Relena's just happy cuddling with him. With his arms around her, she feels safe and that only adds to the meaning to their conversation in her eyes.
Relena snuggles in close to him, pressing her body against his just to enjoy the contact and nothing more when she hears him ask her a very specific question. She pauses for a moment to look up at him. Honestly, there's only one answer she can give.]
I would love to have a permanent contract with you Zack.
[He might not have been thinking really when he asked. This was like proposing to some and here he was just asking her without any bit of fanfare like it was just a normal question when it really wasn't.]
You mean it? You don't want to think about it a little first?
[ He rests his head against the pillows and her neck, kissing at where the delicate chain touches her skin. His arms stay wrapped around her waist as he holds her, keeping her safe in his arms. He wraps one of his legs around her too, caging her in a little and closing his eyes.]
Should I get you a better present first if we do this? It's important...a necklace is too small to celebrate it.
[It may take Relena a few moments to realize that a permanent contract was akin to a proposal and when she does, She's going to be shocked...and perhaps a little a lot thrilled.]
Yes, I mean it. We're already building a life together with this house so it makes sense.
[Again, give her a little bit. She relaxes in his hold, simply happy to be so close to him even has his legs cage her in against him. There's very few places that she'd rather be and right now, this is at the top of her list.]
I don't need anything fancy or a better present.
[It's important and the necklace is too small to celebrate it. Hold on. Relena pauses as the pieces suddenly come together. Usually, she's pretty on top of what's going on but, this suddenly takes her a little by surprise as she presses her body a bit more against his to really cuddle in close.]
Zack, are you proposing to me? My answer is still yes. It just occurred to me that a permanent contract might be taken as a proposal.
[Which has her blushing and feeling a little embarrassed that she didn't realize it before. It doesn't change her answers or how she feels. It's just a very happy sudden surprise.]
