"Looks a bit sketchy doesn't it?" I chuckle, looking at Nini who had an unreadable smile on her face. "Uh...I promise this ally way is not meant for your death."

She laughs a little bit. "No, it's okay....But I mean as long as I die looking pretty than I don't really care."

I grin and kiss her hand as we continue down the stone ally. I inhale quietly and wait a little while before exhaling. "Of course. Nothing sounds more like you." I chuckle.

She leans into my arm and slowly but surely, we continue down the path.


"Oh wow." Her lips part as we meet the proper pathway towards the table. The lanterns hang properly, leading us as we walk. I watch her expression and find myself smiling and watching her gaze at the lanterns. "You quite out did yourself for a date."

"Uh.." I chuckle. "Maybe yeah. Uhm..do you not like it?"

"What? No. I love it." She smiles. "This is adorable."

We make it to the little dinner table I had set up and I find myself pulling the chair out for her while she continues to look around with the biggest smile on her face.

"So uhm..I..I just wanted to make tonight special. We don't go out that much so whenever we do..y'know...make it all nice and tidy I suppose."

"Yeah, I can tell." She giggles. "I love it Rick.."

I sit down and smile. "Good. Good. And once again, you look.. perfect. As always."

She chuckles and hides her blushing. The effortless way she holds herself is probably the most attractive trait that she holds, and I would like to think she knows it.

I clear my throat. "The food will come in a couple of minutes love."

*flashback* A Couple of Months Ago
Useless. I'm so fucking useless. How does she like me? How could anyone ever love me? Especially her? I'm nothing.

I lay in bed with tears running down my face.

"Can I get you some thing baby?" I hear Nini say as she enters the room.

I just want to be alone.
She should know at least that.

"No." I state sternly, fixing the blanket over me. "Leave me. I'm fucking worthless. How could you ever love me.."

"Because your fucking perfect love.." I can hear her come closer and my patience and control over my urges were getting harder to manage.

She can't love me. She could never.

"Fucking bullshit. I'm disgusting. I don't deserve you." I hear her sigh, simply telling me everything I need to know. "I'm useless to you and Athena. Why am I here?"
