Jun 10 03:17:45 <Knave>	Winter, it turns out, is a sleepy time for Tara, so Austin had developed a habit of checking in on her. He whistles softly to himself and shuts the door behind him quietly, so as not to disturb. "Hey Sleeping Beauty," He beams to himself as he fusses over her pillows and blankets, "Feeling lively today, or what?"
Jun 10 03:20:09 <WhisperLily>	She stirs softly, she mews as he wakes her so nicely. She giggles, "If it was anyone but you right now..." she smiles and pulls him in to give him a kiss. *hazelnut...as always*
Jun 10 03:22:22 <Knave>	Austin smiles his big, goofy smile as he pulls away, unconsciously licking his lips. "Always good to hear I'm special." He leans his elbow on the bed beside her and rests his head in his hand, "How are you feeling today?"
Jun 10 03:23:58 <WhisperLily>	"A little tired...but I am feeling better..." she smiles softly, she had a bit of a fever the last couple days and had been cranky. "Did...you happen to bring....any nuts?" she asked hopefully.
Jun 10 03:26:08 <Knave>	"Assorted." Austin produces a bag from his jacket pocket and offers it in thumb and forefinger. It pained him slightly not to go for the obvious joke, but now wasn't the time. That was to be saved. Cherished.
Jun 10 03:27:52 <WhisperLily>	"You are the best boyfriend!" she squeeked! She grabs the bag and eats them excitedly. "I am sorry my hibernation means you don't get to spend much time with your girlfriend...have you at least been having a good time at the new campus?" she smiles softly.
Jun 10 03:30:12 <Knave>	Austin idly strokes Tara's hair, watching her eat with admiration, "It's fine. I'm keeping myself busy. Writing for the paper and everything." He smiles distractedly, "Not that I'm not excited for the spring when I get to take you out more."
Jun 10 03:31:54 <WhisperLily>	"I can't wait..." she grins, his hand in her hair...she feels a happiness. "I umm...was wondering...if you like...well...*Squeek!*" she began blushing like crazy.
Jun 10 03:33:31 <Knave>	"Take your time." He smiles blithely, voice like a blissed-out fool, "I could sit here with you all day."
Jun 10 03:35:37 <WhisperLily>	"Well..umm...we have been dating...since well for like three months now...I was thinking maybe...you would...like to well umm...maybe *getacombinedroomtogether!* *Squeek!*"
Jun 10 03:37:07 <Knave>	"I'd love it." Austin smiles, then pecks her cheek and grins lopsided down at her, "Sure you wouldn't get bored of me, always having me around?"
Jun 10 03:38:02 <WhisperLily>	"Well...I was thinking...it would make something else a bit easier." she says. "If we well...actually shared a bed." she said nervously.
Jun 10 03:41:13 <Knave>	Austin takes Tara's chin between thumb and forefinger and smiles a little smile, "You're so cute." He leans in to give her a quick kiss, then drops his hand and lays his head down beside hers, "Whatever you want. And whatever you're comfortable with. Don't push yourself on my account."
Jun 10 03:42:54 <WhisperLily>	"I...umm well...want to be comfortable with it...so....can we? Sleep together? So...like...I am more comfortable...when...we /sleep/ together?" she says so shyly.
Jun 10 03:45:20 <Knave>	Austin slips his arm around Tara's neck and hugs her tight, "I'd consider it a privilege and an honour." She can feel him blushing a little, but he's plainly less nervous about the whole affair than Tara.
Jun 10 03:47:29 <WhisperLily>	"Thanks for understanding..." she smiled her voice a bit muffled. "when can we...?" she asked excitedly.
Jun 10 03:50:28 <Knave>	"As soon as you like," He chuckles, "I can talk to the staff about it for you, if you like. Actually, they might need to talk to both of us. I dunno. But it shouldn't take too long, I'm pretty sure there's still just a ton of empty rooms." His smile spreads as he talks, and the rambling just gets more rapid as he goes.
Jun 10 03:53:59 <WhisperLily>	"I'd like that. Even if it means I have to get out of bed." she smiles. "I can do that much at least for you...*Squeek*"
Jun 10 03:55:39 <Knave>	Austin smiles softly, "Sometimes, you say things and I just... I want to start kissing you and then not stop kissing you." She can practically see stars in his eyes as he stares at her with adoration.
Jun 10 03:56:18 <WhisperLily>	"I...wouldn't mind that?" she blushes.
Jun 10 03:58:33 <Knave>	He kisses her blushing cheek, "So cute." He nuzzles his nose to hers, then raises his eyebrows, "Let's see how long it takes for me to pass out from kissing you."
Jun 10 04:02:52 <WhisperLily>	She giggles and squeeks! She pulls him into her body, and lets her lie on her bed. "I...want to say it..." she whispers.
Jun 10 04:05:04 <Knave>	He wraps his arms around her, tries his best to whisper despite how loud he naturally is, "Whenever you're ready."
Jun 10 04:07:05 <WhisperLily>	"I..." she breathes. "I am ready..." she nods.
Jun 10 04:08:45 <Knave>	"Then let it out." He nuzzles her ear, "No need to be shy. It's just us here."
Jun 10 04:12:04 <WhisperLily>	"Okay..." she nods. She takes his face into her hands and looks deeply into his eyes. "I love you, and while it may terrify me to do so, I am even more afraid to not love you Austin. I...want to spend as much time as I can with you. Whatever you will let me have of your time."  she breathes, she blushes deeply and is terrified that what has been said...
Jun 10 04:12:09 <WhisperLily>	can never be unsaid...
Jun 10 04:14:11 <Knave>	Austin puts a hand over Tara's and looks back with glistening eyes, "I love you too, Tara." He closes his eyes for a moment, smiling gently, "And I'm yours for as long as you want me."
