Imbolic

Ever since you two had been talking more and seeing each other asName and Ivan and not Romanli and Russia he had learned a lot moreabout your culture and had surprised you with a invitation to come tohis home to celebrate Imbolic.

You had been shocked that he had invited you over but you were morethan happy to go over. You thought it'd be lovely and you wanted tosee him around his home since it was something nice to do. Imbolicwas the start of spring, which was considered the life part of theyear meant for frolicking.

So that is how you ended up taking a (boat/plane) to Ivan's house.You wear wearing a (color that looks good on you) sun dress, someankle length (brown/black) boots, a (favorite color) ribbon entwinedin your (hair length) (hair color) (curls/tresses/locks). Resting onyour (collarbone/chest) was the sunflower charm of the necklace Ivanhad given you. It was only February 2nd and so was stillpretty cold so on top of it you were wearing a ankle length coat,(gloves/mittens), hat and scarf.

You had a whole rack of lamb ready to be cooked together.

Getting to Ivan's house he was all alone wearing a black jacketand a pink scarf. He smiled genlty at you ushering you in. You smiledas you see the little sunflower that had grown very well in thelittle over a month that you had given it to him. It was put in anew, bigger pot and there was a cute watering can sitting beside itthat was green with a bushel of sunflowers painted on it, and nearbywas plant food.

"So how will we make this little Name?" Ivan asked as you pulledout the ingredients. You smiled and took his hand leading him over.

"Come on, I'll show you!" You giggled as you looked around thekitchen trying to find everything, you brought all the necessaryingredients, you had told him what you needed for the dinner and hadtalked to each other and you brought the ingredients he didn't haveready access to. He had lamb but you brought your own, you had nobutchering from the start of winter, so for four months the only meatyou had was fish and shellfish.

So Pomegranate Lamb was a tradition to eat on Imbolic. You would alsoeat oxtails and borscht, traditional Russian dishes. In a way tryingto blend the two cultures.

Ivan was shocked still though, the fact you were so relaxed aroundhim was shocking. You had come to his home knowing it would only bethe two of you, you would stay the night over and you were in thekitchen. You were surrounded by sharp points and heavy pots yet youweren't scared.

He wondered about this new relationship and it was shocking, a littlescary but he liked it.

You weren't scared of him in any way. You weren't jumping when hesaid anything your entire body was always relaxed it was-he cut offfrom your scream. He looked shocked but then was shocked as you clungto him screaming and shaking.

"Sunflower?!"

"A bug!" You screamed and he looked where your terrified (eyecolor) pools were staring at and saw a small bug. A bug? Not even abig one. You didn't fear him, but you feared a simple bug?

"It's okay, Mother Russia protect you." He promised and grabbingthe bug with a napkin shook it outside and shut the window. Youimmediately latched onto him and he looked at you confused.

"My hero," you whispered and he smiled gently at that. Notthinking he leaned down and kissed your lips gently. You gasped butdidn't pull away, you smiled gently at him and giggled standing onyour tip toes and kissed his lips.'

It's kind ofshort, but I hope you guys like it.
