Notes: lol too Late!!! but finally he is there to pick her up! XD

Standing outside the fifth cohort wasn't something that A Centurion of the First cohort would usually do. Even if he would like to speak to any of the centurions, he would for sure look for them at Principia and not outside of their cohort, that was... weird!! But in that moment the son of Jupiter was waiting for the daughter of Janus, he was waiting for his princess, his Marie. He had invited her to go to the Valentine's dinner a few nights ago, in a dinner too, in New rome.

He was wearing an Oxford gray suit and his usually messy blond hair was combed to the side and it seemed decent. He was holding a box in his hands, inside there was a gold pendant, maybe it was too much of himself... but in his mind it was more like, he would be there to protect her, to love her and to be with her. So he expected that she understood it like that.

He looked at the entrance of the cohort and saw at another couple, He knew the girl because sometimes she was sent by Tessa among the group of medics to the 48hrs drill of First cohort, Mckinnon was her last name, but he didn't know the guy... well not by name, he had seen him around with Kyoto and with Rogers, so... well, who knew. They left and then He stood there... alone again, waiting for Marie.

Marie stared at herself in the mirror and tugged at her hair. “Stop looking like a disaster!” She picked up her brush again and ran it through for what must have been the thousandth time. By the gods, if her hair wasn’t silky and smooth after all the fussing she’d been doing over it yet, it would never be. She smoothed out her red dress she’d saved up and gotten just for this evening and smiled at her reflection. “Totally worth it. Well… we’ll find out when he sees, won’t we?” She glanced at the door and then at her wrist before realizing she wasn’t wearing her watch right now. She hated not knowing what time it was, but she didn’t have a nice watch that would look good, so she had resorted to no watch at all. So instead she hurried to the nightstand next to her bed to look at her alarm clock. She wasn’t late, no, but she was very close to it. Not good.

She took a seat on her bed, pulled on her heels. One thing she loved about Chris was that he was a full foot taller than her. It made her feel secure, for some reason. And it also meant that she could wear heels and he’d still be taller than her. What could she say? She was short. She fluffed her hair one last time as she stood up and hurried to the door. When she opened it, she spotted him right away. Gods, he was handsome. She came up to him as quickly as she dared to in heels and pulled him into a kiss she simply couldn’t resist doing. Her arms still around his neck, she looked at him warmly. “Hey, handsome. Sorry if I kept you waiting too long.”

Chris was looking around, he felt like a dumb waiting out there, he wasn't just waiting for someone, he was waiting for someone and it seemed that he would have to wait more. He wasn't used to wait, he usually asked for something and people ran to give it to him. Well... girls used to do that, men used to fight him and after he defeated them, he simply laughed at them. And sometimes he still remembered that, he still wanted it! well, not sometimes, always! but not when Marie was with him, she was what made him be a good guy, someone respectable and not a tyrant. he was thinking about that when he saw a stunning woman walking from the doorway.

He lift his sight and noticed it was Marie, his marie!! He smiled widely at her and walked closer so she wouldn't have to go and meet him. "Tá tú den sórt sin a bhean álainn!" _{"You are such a beautiful woman!"} He said in his native Irish, he didn't realize that he had done it, he was simply hipnotized by her beauty. He leaned at her and holding into his strong arms, he kissed her deeply, slight shocks ran from his lips to hers, but wouldn't hurt her, only tickle her lips. Then he pulled back and took out the small box of the pendant. "Here... I hope, you like it." he said and opened the small box and looked at her reaction. He really hoped she would like the pendant.

His reaction was worth every second of tedious preparation. She beamed, even though she couldn’t understand what he was saying. Just the smile on his face, the light in his eyes, everything about him seemed to glow. Then again, he was a son of Jupiter, so she wondered if that might actually be possible. Just a moment ago, she’d been so worried. About her appearance, about how she could walk in heels, about if she’d be late, any number of things and everything all at once. It had been giving her quite a headache. But seeing him there waiting for her made it all better. It was hard not to be happy. Chris just made her feel wonderful, valuable. She hurried to his side and threw her arms around him, cherishing the feeling of being with him. And his kiss! She wasn’t sure she could ever have felt so light-headed, in a good way! She felt the electricity between them and held on closer. It reminded her of the old saying that being with the one you loved could make you feel electrified or something like that, but with Chris it was real and not just a saying.

She paused when he pulled away, a little confused, but when he opened the jewelry box for her, she beamed. “Oh, it’s beautiful! And perfect! I’ll wear it with pride, to represent you and I. Would you mind putting it on me?” She pulled her hair back in a ponytail with her hands and turned so he could put it on her. It also helped to hide her blush. “And I was wondering too, if it’s not too much to ask, if maybe… I could stay with you tonight?” She bit her lip nervously. It wasn’t that she had anything planned for it, but just being with him like that made her feel so happy.

How could he even be upset about being out there waiting for her when she totally worthed each and every second that he spent out there! Even the moments when people looked at him with mischiveous smirks, all of them looking at him as if he was a joke, because how on Earth a girl would leave a son of Jupiter waiting so much! Although, now that she was there with him, he knew anything else in the world mattered but her. "you are the most beautiful woman i've ever seen in my whole life." he said almost repeating what he had just said in Irish. But she really was beautiful. Maybe even more than Venus herself, but he wasnt going to bring a curse upon her by saying that outloud!

The moment she smiled in that way at the pendant, made him smile even more, no one who would know him would have not recognized him. "it will be my pleasure" he said and then took th pendant to put it on her. He had been worried about her not liking the pendant, but she did!! So he was happy and yes it represented them... Well him but as a reminder that he was protecting her all the time. He finished locking the chain around her neck by the moment she asked him if they could spend the night together. It had been a huge surprise that she asked him that, but he smiled and looked into her eyes. "my princess, it will be more than my pleasure to share my personal chambers with you." he kissed her hand in a gentle way. It may cause him some troubles with the praetors, but he'd talk to them later, if she wanted to be with him, then he would be with her.

Marie couldn’t help but blush at his words. He did have a way with words. And that look in his eyes, how he carried himself around her. Like she was the most important person in the world. It filled her heart to the brim and made her want to dance with joy. Well, that and just being around him made her so happy! She leaned up and kissed his cheek. “And you are the most handsome man I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. You know, sometimes I wonder if getting to date you is some elaborate dream, because I never would have guessed myself so lucky. If it is, I don’t ever want to wake up.”

Her excitement for the night welled up in her and made her want to simply bounce on the balls of her feet, but she kept it in. That and bouncing in high heels would be really hard, she imagined. A date with Chris! Always a reason for celebration. Having her attention fully on no one but him and in return fully having his attention for however long they were together; it made her smile just thinking about it. Yes, they belonged together, and she thanked the gods all the time for such a wonderful man in her life. However, this was not just any old date. This was their first Valentine’s Day together. It was a big deal, or at least to her. All this she thought as he fastened the necklace around her neck. She tried to look down at the charm, which was difficult while he was still fastening it. But she could still picture it in her mind. It really was a lovely gift. She could feel like he was always with her now.

She knew her question was a little… chancy. She hoped he didn’t mind. But they’d done it before, hadn’t they? Maybe he was worried they wouldn’t be able to get away with it again? Okay, so she couldn’t really blame him there. Mean Remus was kind of scary. Not that she doubted Chris could handle him, but still. It wasn’t like she wanted to force him into that position. But his words made her worry turn to a smile. “Really?” She hugged him close. “Thank you!” After a moment hugging him, she let go and took his hand. “Now, we have an event to get to!”

For Chris it was an amazing view to see Marie there with him, she looked like a princess, for sure not even Juno or Venus would be able to look as stunningly as Marie was looking that day. Or maybe it was because it was the first time he saw her like that?... no, it wasn't that. He had invited her out before, she wore a nice coctail dress and he took her to a fancy restaurant in New Rome, she looked elegant and no girl in camp or New Rome could compare to her, but... well... that night he was sure that not even Venus or Juno could compare with Marie. But he wasn't going to say that out loud, he was sure that if he did, they would hurt Marie, specially his awful, crazy step mother, so... he better just say that she was stunning and that was it.

He started walking with her to the dinner, that amazing dinner that everyone was excited about. last year he didn't even care about it, he in fact thought of it as a lost of time, people going there to have dates... he thought they should have been training not having dates... well he would love that himself could look at him in that moment, not just going to the dinner, but deeply in love of an amazing girl... well woman, in the life of a demigod, when you got to the age of 16 to 18, you were already an adult. So... she was a woman. He looked at the room when they got there and smiled at it. "well... I must say Carroll and the others really work hard on this place." he smiled at her and kissed her hand. "I think our place is over there." He walked with her.

Marie couldn’t help but smile. Well, for one thing, she was with Chris, so it was impossible not to be happy. For another, it was Valentine’s Day – their first one together – and they were going to a fancy dinner. Third… well, just that look in his eyes. It made her feel so completely valuable and loved and just warm all over. She couldn’t take her eyes away from his crystalline sky blue ones. Her own eyes betrayed her deep love for him as well, how much she truly cared for him, wanted to spend her every moment with him, thought he was the most handsome, chivalrous, kind-hearted man this camp had ever seen. How blessed by the gods she felt to be with him. She didn’t care what other people said about him. She’d gotten her fair share of weird looks like people thought her either crazy or incredibly brave – or the one person who thought she must be secretly sadistic – for dating him. She hardly cared though. Let them think what they liked. She’d already had something of a reputation for being off her rocker to begin with, so she could certainly handle anything else on top of it. And part of her welcomed the crazy person reputation. It meant people were less likely to bother her and Chris. Or maybe that was just the fact that he could fling lightning at will. Don’t poke a sleeping dragon, right? Either way, she was fine with it. More time for them.

Hand in hand they walked together to New Rome and she couldn’t be happier. It was funny really. This time last year she hadn’t even bothered to sign up, not really one for public events, especially not ones centered around romance. So she’d bought herself a box of chocolates and rented “27 Dresses” and celebrated Singles Awareness Day in her pajamas back in her barrack. Pathetic? Probably. Though she hadn’t thought so at the time. After all, she hadn’t really been ashamed or angry or jealous about being single. She hadn’t found the right guy yet; no big deal. Plus her own makeshift event had involved chocolate – yum – and a really cute chick flick. So win-win. But this year she finally got the idea of what February 14 was really about. And she had to say, Valentine’s Day with her dear boyfriend was so much better than Singles Awareness Day in her pajamas. Even just dressing up for the event had been fun, picking out what she hoped he would like best after trying on half the little shop she’d gone to. Chatting with the other girls in her barrack as they all got ready together. For the first time she felt like a real girl, gossiping about their dates with the other girls, sharing make up tips and opinions on outfits, the whole nine yards. Well, that wasn’t entirely true. It wasn’t the first time she felt like a girl. Because every time Chris looked at her, love in his eyes, she felt like she really was the beautiful young woman he seemed to see in her.

They got to the pavilion where the event was being held and she couldn’t help but stare. The place was magnificently decorated. It even had a dance floor. “You’re right. They did a great job. It looks lovely.” A blush colored her cheeks at his kiss and for a split second, she forgot about the dinner, so his comment came across a little strange at first. “Wha- oh! Right,” she said with a soft laugh. She followed his lead to one of the corners of the dance floor to a table with their names on it. She looked around them as she sat down. She recognized faces, but didn’t actually know know them. She knew tidbits of common information like cohort and general reputation, but that was about it. But soon her attention was elsewhere, as the appetizers arrived. She had ordered stuffed mushrooms and peach tea to drink. “Mmm, this looks so good, doesn’t it? What did you get?”
