English stood, shifting his weight slightly as he smiled at Calmasis. Slowly, he walked toward them and brought a hand up to stroke the snowy hair from their eyes. He paused, looking at them. There was the brightest of smiles and that, by itself, was making him begin to smile as well.
He slowly opened his arms, nibbling at his own lip out of nervousness.
“Oh, on the contrary. I am probably fully aware of how thrilled you are to have me in your company, for I feel just as strongly about you.” He stood in silence for a few minutes, his dual colored gaze locked on Calmasis.They where melting at the smallest of touch, it felt like one of those romance novels that they read in secrecy giggling over. Oh goodness, but it was ten times more amazing to be the lead in their own romantic voyage. Their pale green eyes softened as they looked up, they wanted to say something but the words where caught in their throat as they leaned in to the touch. It nibbled and gnawed at them that really, how long had it been since someone touched them kindly? oh god, what a thought!
“This is…a bit brash but um…”
No, now was not the time to act like this but they could not help it as they slinked down in to their seat, shoulders up and a childish glimmer in their eyes. “…Kiss me” it fell from their lips smoothly, “Please, kiss me, I know this is so sudden and you must have others but just one and I will be happy for the rest of my days”
English smiled, his eyes meeting theirs. There was a romantic spark in there that was undeniable. Something told him that the feelings were there and they were true and if that was the case, he was going to let Calmasis take the lead in this romantic endeavor.
He gave a slight smile, holding his tongue and refraining from speaking. Instead, he tucked the stray lock of snowy hair behind their ear and then gingerly ran his hand down their cheek, tracing their jawline.
His smile grew as he ran a single finger under their chin, tipping their head back and leaning in close.
“I have no others.” He murmured, his voice low and soft. He could practically feel the sparks between himself and Calmasis as he closed the gap and kissed them. He brought one hand up, stroking their cheek as he continued to kiss them, sweet and chaste.
It was amazing how perfectly they fit together and Calmasis’ lips were much softer than English had imagined. He was quickly falling head over heels for Calmasis at this point. They were just perfect in every way.

Notes: 32
Every movement they made in their home was elegant and in perfect flow, like water. It was all centered around day dreaming of how time spent with their new companion would be, Calmasis had to admit that today there head was high in the clouds and they could not give a damn. Girlish notions filled their head, oh what to wear! what to do! They reminded themselves to calm down. There where so many moments spent bickering about what to wear, perhaps a suit? maybe something casual? no, they had to look nice. By the end of it, the young magician finally found something suitable. Between dresses, suits, and casual clothing they found something worth while to wear. It was an old long velvet dress that smoothed over their form easily hitting to their knees, the suit’s jacket they wore was tied as tight as possible in the back an elegant white rose pinned to the front, nervous for this date Calmasis hurried to make their way out the door.
Everything was set up for the night, the snakes where taken care of, they had a stand in for the show, tonight they where just going to enjoy themselves along with new company. With fingers jammed in to their pockets of their jacket, they stood there scanning around for sight of the familiar face. Nibbling on their pink lips as their piercing green eyes showed the excitement but yet nervous feeling in them.
English had spent most of his day cleaning and preparing for Calmasis. He wanted everything to be just right. He had a never fading smile on his lips and the feeling of butterflies in his stomach. It was just such a warm and happy feeling and he couldn’t get enough of it.
Part of him wasn’t able to believe that someone actually held any sort of feelings for him. This was a first.
After everything had been prepared, he retired to his bedroom to dig through his closet. He came across a green suit. A small smile curled at his lips. It was almost the same shade of evergreen that Calmasis wore. He nodded to himself, deeming this a good choice for the evening. English hurriedly got dressed before fixing his short hair and making sure he looked perfect for his company that would be arriving soon.
After not too long, he realized it was time to go and meet Calmasis. His mind raced as he began wondering what they wore and what they’d think of him.
He spotted them, a small smile curling on his lips. “Good evening, my dear. Shall we go?” He inquired, quirking his eyebrow and offering his arm to them. His eyes scanned them, taking in the lovely image he was presented with. They could pull off that dress. And quite well.
Those pink lips and green eyes, too.
English shook his head, trying to rid himself of those thoughts for a few moments, at least.
English was taken aback slightly. He had not expected Calmasis to warm up so quickly, but he wasn’t going to argue nor was he going to deny that he was quite fond of the other. “It was short notice, but good things tend to happen unexpectedly.”
English cleared his throat, looking at Calmasis. “I am also quite fond of you, my companion.” English allowed himself to look Calmasis over and get a better view of the one he was so quickly growing attached to. He bit his lip, a small smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
They were attractive. Quite so. Of course, he wasn’t going to admit this out loud. It was bad enough that they probably noticed him looking them over.“I’m not…use to such things, I don’t really get close to others very fast” It was mainly for protection and for their own peace of mind. Having lived alone for so long and dealing with nonesense, Calmasis had very little intentions becoming personal with those that they knew but…English was very different, they just had an overwhelming desire to be close. “When one tries to succeed on their own, trust is not an option and I’m sure you understand.” Where the hell where they going with this? They had no clue, in some sense the young magician felt as if they where jamming their foot down their mouth.
“…What I’m trying to say is, I’ve never felt the need to be close to someone until right now this very instant”
Oh, god, did that come out right at all?! was that too brash!? Their heart fluttered when they heard the feelings where very much the same. Their smile softened as they giggled childishly, strands of snowy white hair fell in to their face as they seemed so joyful, they tried at their might to stop giggling like a fool but it wouldn’t work “I..I’m beyond glad you enjoy having my company, you have no idea how thrilled I am”
English stood, shifting his weight slightly as he smiled at Calmasis. Slowly, he walked toward them and brought a hand up to stroke the snowy hair from their eyes. He paused, looking at them. There was the brightest of smiles and that, by itself, was making him begin to smile as well.
He slowly opened his arms, nibbling at his own lip out of nervousness.
“Oh, on the contrary. I am probably fully aware of how thrilled you are to have me in your company, for I feel just as strongly about you.” He stood in silence for a few minutes, his dual colored gaze locked on Calmasis.
Their eyes went a little wide as their cheeks became a deep shade of pink, it was really the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to them. Having spent a good portion of their teen years and young adult life bickering none-stop with the aging Magician they worked with over the haunting appearence they carried, Calmasis hated to admit that at times it took a blow to their little self esteem being day in and day out reminded that they where cold and callouse looking just like the snakes they adored. They often snapped that did not matter what they looked like it was about the trick of the trade, and so be the day they would be the last magician standing in the city. Although, it was only when romantics came in to play did they find themselves pondering appearence, blugh! silly thing! Their cheeks went redder from even remembering such a silly motion, oh no, this was bad where they starting to….no…not that word, oh god, no, it could not be!
Did the great Calmasis have a crush?
“T..thank you…” that was all that came out, they where stammering and it showed that the silly little emotion they bolted straight out the door from was now taking over. There was silence, the only sound being played was the lovely old time music in the room, pink cheeks and pale green eyes stood out brilliantly under the dim light as they murmured softly, “In all my years…I’ve yet to feel such an emotion” it was spoken to no one but them self just out loud and sadly in company they felt strongly about, horrorified they had done something they turned to look over quickly murmuring “I’m…I’m sorry, I don’t know what has become of me I’m acting so rude I just, my goodness” It was pure as day to see they where smitten, nervous of this warmth and affection but oh so smitten.
English was slightly taken aback, a smile remaining on his lips as he watched the nervousness take hold. Calmasis was a vivid shade of red and, with that pale skin, it was an even more vivid shade of scarlet.
English felt his face grow hot, realizing that he was the source of the flustered behavior being exhibited by the other.
“Oh, please do not apologize. Even the most polite people have their off days. Everyone is allowed to deviate from the norm once in a while, even you. ” He said, choosing his words very carefully. He was walking a dangerous line. One wrong move could push him away from Calmasis.They where not the type for romantics, not one to know what they where! Sure they had read it from books all around but to experience such a thing made them stammer. They wondered was this the feeling that the girls told them at the show? that butterfly feeling? the one that left you oh so speechless and needy? The one that the old magician huffed they where too callous to feel? oh yes, it had to be! It was warming them up in their body as they stood silent.
“I…I don’t have off days, I don’t allow them” That sounded terrible, good god, Calmasis! They spent time scolding themselves for sounding so snobby as they tried to explain. ” I mean…I…I don’t like to have off days because they get me in trouble, I’ve learned from experience to perfect as much as I can and always keep calm” They didn’t know how to say such a thing but they stood silent for a long time, now was not hte time to clam up! now was the time to say something! “I admit though although it seems so short note and may be foolish of me to say such a thing but I’ve become fond of you”
English was taken aback slightly. He had not expected Calmasis to warm up so quickly, but he wasn’t going to argue nor was he going to deny that he was quite fond of the other. “It was short notice, but good things tend to happen unexpectedly.”
English cleared his throat, looking at Calmasis. “I am also quite fond of you, my companion.” English allowed himself to look Calmasis over and get a better view of the one he was so quickly growing attached to. He bit his lip, a small smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
