When Gwaine had finally gone back to his room to shower and change he'd smiled at the note he'd round under his door. Spending no more time than needed there, he headed out again with hair still dripping wet.

He smiled a little to find her asleep on one of the window sills, and a little more at how quickly she jumped up when she heard him enter.

"He is, and he's ok," he leaned down to scoop her into a hug. This is what he'd been craving more than the shower and change. After a long moment he pulled back just enough to turn his head and place a prolonged kiss to her cheek. "Thank you for everything you did for us,"

Andromeda was all too relieved by those words and by the feeling of Gwaine’s arms around her then. It was incredibly heavy to see the pain and worry that this had caused Gwaine, Ava, and Odette. But now they could all breathe a bit easier again, or at least she would hope so. “Thank the Angel,” she whispered softly.

At the kiss to her cheek and accompanying words she couldn’t help but smile. “You hardly have to thank me for checking on you all, don’t be silly. I only wish I could have done more for you.”

Andromeda had been filtering in and out of the Infirmary over the course of the night, mostly topping up cuppas and the like for everyone. But. She didn’t linger for long, mostly to keep from overcrowding them. But she had mostly been confining herself to the hallway outside of the infirmary. That, however, felt just as bad after awhile, and so she’d instead written out a note to Gwaine saying where she’d gone off to if he went looking, left the note under his bedroom door, and made her way to ‘their’ room in the Institute. The old dining room was much the same, with its discarded furniture covered in sheets, and the clear signs of disuse. But several candles still lingered here and there from Gwaine and Andromeda’s little dates they’d shared in here over time. For now she made her way to the window sill, brushing away the dust there with a spare sheet before she sat down.

At some point she must have dozed off as she was tucked up in her little spot, because when she opened her eyes to the sound of the door opening the room had grown more dim in the evening light. But not so dim so that she couldn’t see Gwaine in the doorway now. She practically jumped to her feet in her rush to be by his side, but even his expression soothed her anxiety that anything had happened for the worse. “Is Finn awake?”

"Absolutely," he nodded, "Casper already tried to get my to place a bet with him," he continued with a laugh

Andromeda joined in on the laughter. "Of course he did... The real question is did you take him up on it? If not I'm all too certain that Clara would have."

"Such a big sacrifice for you, I'm sure," Andromeda teased, offering him her hand.

"Do you think people are taking bets as to who will be the first to cause some sort of scene?"

#awechicagoeventstarter #//dressed as: virgo

When she opened the door his smile spread, mirroring the beaming smile she was giving him. He was a little transfixed by it. By the way it made her eyes sparkle. Even as he replied he couldn't stop smiling at her. "I figured if I was going to make an effort for any occasion, this was a good one," he leaned a fraction towards her and added in jest, "So I wouldn't get used to it I'm afraid." Gwaine then stepped to the side and offered her his arm. "Shall we?"

It was only really then that he managed to drag his gaze away from her face. Her smile. "You look amazing," he commented genuinely. thinking she didn't just look great but also seriously cool. As they reached the level below the bedrooms he gave her a gentle tug away from the next flight of stairs, the ones that went to the lower level and the exit. Instead he guided her down the corridor that lead towards the very back of the building. Past the library and study rooms, and several out of use offices.

Gwaine had found the room on his first week here. The sheets over the few pieces of furniture and the dust on the mantle over the empty fire place had told him it wasn't in use any more. Best he could guess it had been designed and used for formal receptions or parties or something. Not quite big enough to be a ballroom, so maybe a formal dining room. He'd heard that formal evening meals had been common place in many Institutes back in the day. He'd spent the day cleaning it as best he could. Putting candles in the sconces, along the window cills and the mantle. As well as filling the fire place with them. Before one of the big windows he'd laid a picnic blanket with some cushions. There was a hampers too, with drinks and food keeping cool. He'd asked Ember what Andromeda's favourites were, just to make sure it would be something she liked. So there was a selection of her favourite sushi in there. And on a long side table sat a wind-up record player. He'd borrowed it, plus a few classical records from Gendry.

He paused before the door when they reached it, giving her one last grin before he opened it for her.

andromeda-will-strike

A bit of laughter escaped her then and Andromeda lightly batted his arm even as she took it. “Well, I’d dispute any sort of belief that you ever look bad,” she assured. Her mind even drifted back to a time where he’d run into her after training, drenched with sweat and… well, looking almost frustratingly hot. The thought made her cheeks burn and she desperately tried to jump back to the present—though his compliment only deepened her blush. She was very grateful for the fact that she was more so in his peripheral vision for the time being. “I do hope you didn’t go to any drastic lengths for whatever is in store for us tonight.”

It was a fairly quiet walk, mostly because Andromeda found herself almost transfixed with curiosity and rapid thoughts as they didn’t make their way to the Institute’s front doors. Of course, she knew the place like the back of her hand, so she was almost categorically sorting through the rooms they were headed towards, but each such place drifted from the apparent possibile location as they continued walking through the corridors.

When they came to a stop outside of the room, Andromeda looked up at Gwaine with a raised brow, though her smile hadn’t left her face. Surely he’d planned something in particular. Why else would he choose the old Institute dining room for their date? “Now you have me completely stumped,” she admitted with an almost laugh.

His grin held her attention for only a moment as the door opened behind him. And then she was almost spellbound. Because the room seemed almost entirely different just in his apparent touches. Andromeda found herself wandering past him in stunned silence, an awe-struck smile on her face. It was only when she noticed the food that she laughed again. “Let me guess, a little bird gave you some help?” She mused, looking back over her shoulder at Gwaine then. And even then she was almost tempted to kiss him in the depth of her flattered state. Because he’d done this for her, and that was incredibly special.

“You do realize what this means as well, I hope,” she began, walking over to him and grabbing his hand as she leaned over to whisper in his ear. “I’m so going to try to one up you when I get to plan the next date.”

The First of Many

The plan had started formulating as he lay in bed one night struggling to sleep. He'd had first dates before of course. And he always tried to make them good. As he'd contemplated his first date with Andromeda though he'd felt compelled to make it more than just good. He wanted it to be special. Things had been so turbulent of late though and they just hadn't found the time to do it. Besides they were being encouraged not to go out after dark unless on patrol. Not that they were all following that to the letter. Still it had sparked an idea. So he'd found out when they next had the same night off and asked if she'd finally go on that date with him. He still hadn't told her what it was though.

A little smile tugged at his lips as he walked to her room, rolling up the sleeves of his black shirt as he went. He'd opted for smart but casual. Black shirt with the top couple of buttons undone, and sleeves now rolled up to his elbows. Black jeans. And black boots. It wasn't a ground breaking but he'd never been one to fuss too much over how he dressed.

Taking a breath he knocked on her door and waited.

Andromeda wasn't exactly the nervous sort, and even now she was definitely leaning more in an excited direction than anything, but butterflies certainly seemed to have taken up residence in her stomach as the day went on. She was, however, glad that the date itself was going to be a surprise of some sort. It made it all the more exhilarating. Though, of course, it made it a bit difficult to decide what she ought to wear. She probably changed through three or four combinations of outfits before she eventually settled on one. Dark blue trousers with constellations embroided onto them. Silver chain belt with moons and a complimenting moonstone pendant necklace on a silver chain. Black halter neck crop top. Oversized black knitted cardigan. And black boots. She typically wore workout style attire in and around the Institute, but had a few mundy clothes dotted about her wardrobe from times that she'd dragged Ember and Ash out thrifting. It was a hobby she still kept up, though on her own more often than not these days.

She looked up at the knock, practically bounding over from her spot at her desk, book discarded. One look at Gwaine had her already beaming, although she was almost certain he'd have noticed the way her eyes roamed a bit as she'd opened the foor. "Someone cleans up very nicely," she teased, although, in truth, she always though Gwaine looked good.

The explanation of who had built it brought another smile to his face. One that only grew as he looked at the various photos of the three girls. "You were a cute kid," he commented, looking back over his shoulder at her. His gaze moved from photo to photo, seeing them growing up through them. When she started reading aloud he went and seated himself next to her. It warmed his heart that she was willing to share this with him. He'd seen it since his first week in Chicago - how close the three were. Clearly it was nothing knew. It cause yet another smile. "There's nothing better than siblings," he commented, "Whether they're blood or not,"

andromeda-will-strike

His comment made Andromeda blush again. "The gap in my teeth eventually grew in, thankfully," she added, slightly embarrassed. But this was Gwaine, so his compliment was more than likely genuine. She was grateful for the distraction of the memory chest and its contents because his proximity now was threatening to make her flushed cheeks take permanent effect. "Well, their family became mine, in truth. My parents traveled a lot for Clave business, so the Everblades took me in more often than not... but I wouldn't trade that for anything, you know?" She finally located the one thing she'd been looking for, a cassette deck and headphones. She looked back up at Gwaine then, biting her lip a bit. "I have an idea." She stood up again, rewinding the tape and pressing play before setting it on the ground next to her. Its sound was a bit muffled given the headphones, but it still was clearly playing Clair de lune. She offered Gwaine her hand with a mock curtsy as she did. "May I have this dance?"

"Me either," he said with a nod. Though at just over 6ft he wasn't really worried about it.

"I've missed you lot too," Cameron admitted. "And it does feel good to be home. Weird but good. Can't believe how many new people there is,"

andromeda-will-strike

"Well you definitely wouldn't have to," she pointed out with another laugh.

"Yeah, quite a lot of new faces to come back to, but only good ones. And Odette and Hayden are even involved with two of them," she said with a cheeky grin. "Although I'm sure she probably told you about Finn."

Alec took a breath. Really not as annoyed as he’d let on. His eyes cast out across the lake. A little pensively. “Well…” he said softly. “They can’t be expected to hang around all day I suppose.”

andromeda-will-strike

Andromeda hummed in thought. "Neither can we," she added before getting up to dust herself off. She extended Alec her hand. "Come on, I'll take you to Hektor's. My treat."

He heaved a sigh. "Not your fault. Things have been rather a mess lately. Can't really blame him for being careful with his people." Hunter liked Hayden. Mostly. So he didn't mind playing side-kick for Andromeda. He liked her too.

"Where to next?"

andromeda-will-strike

"That's one way of putting it." Andromeda smiled at his assessment of Hayden though. "I don't. He's doing his job, and it's only natural."

"Hmm... maybe we can just head straight back? I didn't mean to drag you out for this long to begin with."

Gwaine smiled to himself that she kept hold of his hand as she lead him through the woods. It was so nice being out here in nature. It was something he'd missed a lot since moving away from home. It was even nice to be out in nature with Andromeda. "Ok," he said, with a slightly puzzled frown as she started climbing the tree. She made it look so easy and it occurred to him that she'd done it before. Many times if he had to guess. He steadied the ladder as it swung before him, a grin spreading across his face. And he followed her urging, ascending the ladder quickly. Once up he followed her into the tree house, the grin still very much planted in place. "This is..." he looked around at the clearly well used tree house, "So cool," he finished, his gaze coming back to her. "Is this yours?"

andromeda-will-strike

Andromeda looked back as Gwaine entered the treehouse, nodding towards the scattered picture frames nailed into the wall beside him. "Ash and Ember's dad built it for us. We practically grew up in here," she explained with a fond smile. The pictures spanned over the years, back as early as when the girls were seven and eight, and even a photos going into their late teens. Nearly all of them were taken by the lake, but the odd few were around the city too. "This is still one of my favorite places." She turned her attention back to the makeshift chest in the corner, moving one of her necklaces out from under her shirt and using the small key that dangled from it to open the box. Inside was an assortment of various trinkets and notes. Gently, she lifted out one of the notes, laughing a bit at the memory of it as she read it aloud. "I already know that you're going to be Ember's parabatai someday, just because I wouldn't be able to win that argument. But that means you're stuck with me too. We're a package deal, and you're the mystery triplet. Happy Birthday Andy, Love Ash." She returned her gaze to Gwaine then. "They might as well be my sisters. We've all been inseperable since we were toddlers."

Gwaine sat on the shore watching the light fade over the water. It didn’t compare to the sea but it was nice all the same. He was glad he’d joined her. “We should probably head back soon,” he said, his gaze and attention settling back on her.

andromeda-will-strike

Andromeda broke out of her little daze when Gwaine spoke, looking up at him in slight surprise before fully realizing the time with the way the orange rays of the setting sun reflected against his hair. "You really didn't have to stay out here with me so long. I know I can get a bit carried away," she admitted with a small smile. She stood up then, offering him a hand up. "Come on, I need to show you one more thing before we leave."

gwaineisactuallyloyal

“I know but I wanted to,” he shrugged. Really he liked spending the time with her. “And I think it’s kind of cute how wrapped up in it you get,” he added, a smile tugging at his lips. Gwaine took the offered hand but really stood without using it. “Then lead the way,” he said with curiosity.

andromeda-will-strike

The comment made her cheeks darken ever so slightly, and Andromenda dropped her gaze to their intertwined hands for the moment. “It’s not very far.”

She kept hold of his hand during the walk. About 5 minutes through the surrounding woods they reached a particular tree, and only then did she release Gwaine. “Two seconds.” She made quick work of climbing the tree, knowing the perfect hand and footholds even after so many years. And after another minute or so she’d made her way to exactly where she’d planned. The old treehouse. She released the binds holding up the ladder, letting it drop down for Gwaine below. “Climb up, before the sun sets!” She made her own way inside of it. Apart from gathered dust and the clear coming and going of the odd few bugs, the thing was still, remarkably, intact.
