The Valentine's Date Auction [OPEN]

[diamonds_forever]

WHO: Eveyone who signed up + the school in general
WHAT: this thing
WHERE: Right here, in the Institute
WHEN: Saturday evening, the 14th
WARNING(S): Given the nature of the event, I almost expect it, but remember the rules regarding that kind of thing. Take it off the log if it goes there.

⊗Never let it be said that Emma didn't know her stuff. Not content with the paltry and tired and cliche decorations Kurt and subjected the students to at previous events, she had completely taken over, using a combination of her wealth and mutant powers to create a sort of bohemian love palace for the students. Dance floor, tables, the finest foods. This was not a party the likes of which they had seen before... unless they were part of the older crowd, and had witnessed Emma at work before.

Was she good or was she good? On the stage, Emma stood proudly, taking each of the auctionable singles to the stage, one by one, and selling off just a fraction of their free time to the highest bidder. And the fact that it was all for charity left the whole situation comfortably guilt and obligation free.

Of course, as the host, she was more focused on the party and its guests as a whole than any particular individuals... Attempts at sneaking off probably would go unremarked upon. Probably.

[[ OOC: Each auction will receive its own top level, as well as a top level for general mingling. PLEASE CONSULT THE PLOTTING POST BEFORE BIDDING ]]

[The fact that the room around them changes, that their clothes are changing, is something Fai only vaguely registers. To him, it really only makes sense, because to be honest he feels as if the world remaining the same from this moment on is just... impossible. Everything will change, and yet - and this is the best part - it will stay the same. He hasn't lost anything, and he's spent so much time being afraid to do so that he didn't realize that he was losing time.

And time is the most precious thing he could possibly share with Feliks, loving him openly in every way.

He leans in, lips brushing Feliks' ear as he whispers:]

Will you marry me?

[niepokonany]

[Feliks blushes even brighter, grinning uncontrollably, pulling Fai as close as he possibly can.]

You know I was just waiting for you to ask, right?

[Sudden? It would be, if they hadn't been waiting for each other for six damn years.]

[comparative_insanity]

[Fai is grinning right back like a dork, his right hand playing with Feliks' bangs while the other slips into his pocket - and he's glad that the new clothes Feliks had made still have pockets. Then he slips the fingers of his right hand through Feliks' hair, down his shoulder, and grasps Feliks' left hand in his.

A moment later, he's slipped a ring on him.]

So have I. Kind of for a while.

[As for the ring? If you're marrying Feliks, you go big or go home.]

[niepokonany]

[Fai, you huge dork, you had that on hand just in case?]

[Feliks can't even bring himself to make fun of him about it. He just snuggles close and hides his face in his shoulder, blushing like mad. His left hand takes hold of Fai's, lacing their fingers together... He just wants to be close to Fai in every way possible, ideally all at once, though it's proving difficult to pet his hair and hold his hand and hug him. What's the deal with only having two arms, anyway? Lame.]

Well, good. It'd be way unfair if it were just me, you know?

[comparative_insanity]

[He'd saved and scraped up money for two and a half year from that he was 17, just to find an engagement ring that screamed Feliks and have it on hand for whenever he managed to gather enough courage. He's sat around staring at it way too often, has more or less constantly carried it with him, and ended up having a severely awkward breakup with one girlfriend who thought it was for her.

Yes, he's an enormous, incorrigible dork.

And he's having more or less the same problem, wanting to touch Feliks' hair and his face, wanting to hold him as close as possible, wanting to kiss him, all at the same time. They probably look like some kind of very complicated, very happy knot by now.]

Oh no. I definitely love you as much as is humanly possible, so it can't be just you.

[niepokonany]

[He's thoroughly happy to just soak up all that attention from Fai, nuzzling his cheek, draped all around him.]

Of course you do, I'm pretty incredible!

God, come here, you huge dork...

[Just gonna... kiss him again. Yeah. That's a good plan, right?]

[comparative_insanity]

[Kissing again seems like a great idea. And again after that, until they're both kind of out of breath and quite possibly embarrassing people around them. Not that Fai cares or even notices this very much. All he can think about is how much time he's spent needlessly not kissing Feliks, time instead wasted on kissing other people, and pining, and fantasizing that he was.

There is a Get a room from somewhere in the crowd, and Fai just waves a hand vaguely in that direction, as if indicating that he's getting there, but not just yet. Instead he bumps his nose against Feliks', slightly swollen lips huffing out a damp laugh.]

I think we owe some of our friends some very large drinks. I'm personally getting my brother a gift basket. What do you say?

[niepokonany]

[At the point when they stop, Feliks is sitting on the edge of the stage with Fai between his legs, though he's stopped short of actually wrapping them around him, and his skirt keeps things pretty PG.]

[He nuzzles Fai's nose and his cheek, running a hand through his hair again, the other arm latched around him, as if to make sure he doesn't disappear on him.]

[Tucking his chin over Fai's shoulder and resting there, he sticks his tongue out at the person who he thinks called out.]

What kind of boy do you think I am, anyway?

I think Yuui deserves, like, a private island or something for all that. Hajime, too. Reki hasn't been around the whole time, but I should probably buy her something nice, too...
