CLOSED TO BELLE & JEFFERSON

[Toby has tested his beers and is now looking to test his menu. He knows what Cas and Clay will probably say so he decides to grab a pair of people who might have different opinions. Belle, he knows isn’t interested in beer, so he invites her hoping that she might be able to give him an opinion on the food. Jefferson is an odd duck and if Toby can surprise or impress the man then he can probably get this business started without much trouble.

He sends out invitations via a text. It’s short, blunt and leaves little room for argument or reply. He then waits at the specified time for the pair to show up. He has a kitchen counter set up as a table, it isn’t anything fancy but there are three chairs and plates.

Toby has a few things cooking but he won’t put the dishes together until both Belle and Jefferson arrive. He also hopes to get some input about his puns too… it’s important.]

CLOSED TO CAS

[He’d meant to surprise her sooner but with all the crap going on it’s been difficult. At least now the surprise will be better because the apartment is now furnished.

Toby waits just outside the building that he’ll soon spend most of his time in. He knows any closer and she’ll be able to guess what it is and if he’s planning to make this a surprise he’s planning to go all out for it. It’s a little silly but after writing a menu with 25 different puns on it he really doesn’t care about silly.

Somehow he knew that Cas would like it.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[If she's honest, Cas has been waiting impatiently for whatever surprise Toby had for her, and now that she was finally going to get it, her shift at work couldn't be over fast enough. Toby's new tavern isn't far from the gate to Nova City, either, which means she comes upon her mate fairly quickly.

Smiling, she moves to his side and embraces him before pulling back to look up at him.]

I missed you.

[A smile tugs at his lips when he catches her scent. He turns towards her and scoops her up in a warm embrace, pressing his face into the thick waves of her dark hair. He knows she has to work but he loathes being a part from her.]

Same. Ready?

[He looks down at her waiting for her reply. He's planning to cover her eyes and carry her to her surprise. That's how TV did couples who were stepping into their home for the first time and while he is building a diner/tavern; he's also building a home for the two of them.

At least while they are here.]

[She continues to smile up at her mate, excitement pouring off of her. She nods.]

I'm totally ready.

Good.

[He scoops her up in his arms and then uses a hand to cover her ears.]

Close your eyes first. I'll tell you when to open them.

[Cas giggles as he scoops her up, which is not a sound she allows many people to hear and closes her eyes obediently.]

This better be good.

[With her ears covered and her eyes closed he moves towards the door, stepping as silently as he can inside. His movements are swift and he uses skills he hasn't tapped into in what feels like a very long time. When he reaches the top of the steps he exhales slowly.]

I hope you like it.

[He pushes the door open which leans to, what he hopes, is their new apartment.]

You can open your eyes in 3... 2... 1...

[She can sense her mate's nervousness and it only serves to increase her own excitement. She can tell by the movement they're moving upstairs, but she'll wait instead of trying to figure out what he might be telling her or showing her.

She hears the creak of the hinges as a door opens, and then he was counting down, making her get even more excited.

Once he reached one, she opened her eyes slowly, her expression turning to one of awe at the apartment. Could it be...?]

Is...this the apartment over your bar...?

[Toby slowly lets her down and releases her though he's standing with his front pressed lightly against her back. He exhales a slow breath feeling a smile tug at his lips.]

It's our apartment. If you like it.

[If she doesn't like it he just feels like an idiot but it's better than what they had before.]

Our apartment... [Cas played the words through her mind a few times, liking the sound of them. She smiled broadly, turning to look up at him, and throwing her arms around him.] I love it! I love you!

[Toby feels himself laugh before he makes the conscious effort to do so. He wraps his arms around Cas lightly kissing her lips before pulling away.]

I love you too. Want to look around?

[Her grin grows more broad as she nods.]

Yes! And then I want to break it in.

Sounds like a plan.

[One that he's 100% okay with.]

It isn't that big.

[It's simple with one master bed room, one full bath, a small kitchen/living room combo and a small spare room. Not that Toby thinks they'll have guests but if Clay drinks to much at the bar he'd rather his friend crash with them then stumble home.]

[She grins up at him again, turning toward him and wrapping her arms around his neck.]

It's perfect.

[Toby slips his arms around her thin waist and pulls her close. His lips eagerly seek hers pressing hard before pulling away.]

How about I show you the bed first?

[It's big and she'll find that it's already on the floor so nothing to break.]

[She grins after their kiss, letting him lift her again.]

I thought you'd never ask.

[Toby feels himself smiling as he carries her towards the small bed room. There is a very large bed inside and it's artfully placed on the floor. There isn't much in the way of other furniture but Cas will find a large closest which is currently empty for whatever she wants to fill it with.

He gently lays her down on her bed, hovering over top of her as his lips press eagerly against hers.

The only thing he hasn't thought of it the noise that might be heard down stairs. Luckily their room is over the kitchen though it can still create awkward moments for others in the future.]

[Belle knew she didn't have much to do anyway so she was currently on her way over. On the upside she was at least aware of where she was going at least and smiled when she reached her destination.]

Hello? You text didn't say much, but here I am.
