Date Night

He’d rehearsed this. He’d been so nervous he rehearsed this, and what was supposed to be an elegant proposal that Narcissa join him for dinner was falling to absolute pieces all because he’d forgotten about the cats. Eight four-month-old kittens had greeted him when he got home and now they were winding around his ankles and one of them screamed until he picked her up in one hand and cracked her against his chest. In his other hand he held a bouquet of delicate pink and peach roses that reminded him of Narcissa’s blush.

“I was wondering, darling, if you’d allow me to escort you to dinner?” he finally managed, presenting the flowers to his wife. “I was going to kneel, but I rather think I might be attacked by kitten claws so I’ll refrain, if you can forgive me.”

It would be their first official romantic outing since getting married. They’d been in public together for appearances, of course, but it had taken time for them to learn to communicate with one another, and even longer for them to be comfortable spending time intimately. In fact it had only been a few days since they’d- well, officially consummated their marriage. And despite the vast unknowns ahead of them, Lucius was finally desperate enough to make a truly romantic move.
