To Die, Would Be An Awfully Grand Adventure.

  Storm nodded and picked up a sandwich filled with ham, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, lettuce, cucumber and tomato. Holding it between his fingers he looked at it sceptically trying to decide if he had created a worthwhile meal for them. After a moment he decided that it was better than nothing and that Beau looked fairly impressed so it couldn’t be that bad.

Beau took a swig of her drink, biting back into her sandwich and looking with concern at Storm. It must have been an odd sight, to be honest. One can't look too graceful about eating a sandwich. 

  Storm shrugged slightly before grabbing himself a can of red bull and popping the tab, he took a long drink of the heavily caffeinated liquid, which for an AH HD demi god might not have been the smartest idea, but Storm hadn’t slept well the last couple of weeks and he sort of relied upon the stuff to get him through. 

Beau reached for some of the less-sweet things, not wanting to get a sugar- high. She leaned back on her hands, watching the light flicker on the ocean waves. It was so relaxing, and being here with someone she cared deeply for, only made the night that much more special.

  Storm chuckled and wrapped his arms around Beau as he looked out over the beach and into the deep blue sea. “I think that you’ll find that it is the other way around, I’m the one who doesn’t deserve you beautiful Beauregard.” He kissed her head softly before pulling away and gently dragging her down to the blanket.

"But you always treat me so well. i just... i'm amazed." Beau responded, hugging him tightly, and burying her face in his chest. He smelled wonderful, like he always did - fresh air, the outside, and a little bit of freshly cut grass. It made her smile. 

  Smiling as Beau squeezed his hand, Storm lead her over the last hill and onto the beach. “Well that is very perceptive of you, as we are in fact on the beach. Fire away with the questions if you’d like. I will answer them all as best I can.” guiding her towards the picnic he had laid out for her he smiled to himself as he looked at his arrangement. 

"I like to think i'm perceptive. that and i can kind of feel the waves against the earth under my feet. I mean... I do have some control over the earth. It's weird, but that's all thanks to daddy-dearest." Beau told him as he lead her on.

  Smiling Storm reached across and gently took her hand, lacing his fingers through his own he was impressed by how much they slipped together, they fit together almost perfectly and Storm couldn’t help but smile at that. It was almost as if their hands had been made to hold one another. It was weird how stuff like that happened to Storm. Leading her down the porch he smiled to himself, thinking about the last time he had guided anyone from the Hades cabin.

Beau squeezed his hand, hoping he understood how much she trusted him. She struggled with people, and Storm was one of the kindest and most generous people she had ever met. It really did warm her heart at the sight of him. 

  Taking the rose out from behind his back he smiled and presented it to Beau. “This is just a little something that I thought we’d do, I mean as long as you want to. It is a surprise though, and there are one or two rules before we go so that this surprise works.” He felt the whirlwind in his stomach that he felt whenever he got really nervous, at the minute it was before a fight, or before he talked to Beau. 

A little gasp escaped from Beau's lips as the flower was presented to her. She grinned broadly, taking the flowers. She tilted her head to the side, looking questioningly at Storm with clear blue eyes. "Okay. Well, first off, i should probably put on real shoes instead of these." she laughed, showing off her slippers.

You Would Not Believe Your Eyes // Storm x Beau

Beau had been lounging in the 13th cabin, wearing one of her favorite dresses, and her pink poodle slippers. the weather had been absolutely wonderful that day, and she figured she might as well. It was a short black dress that had little skulls and cross bones over it. She always found that amusing, and it was one of her favorites. 

  -shrugs- I guess I still have Helen. Besides I’ve got you and everyone else. Things could be a lot worse -kisses her forehead and hugs her really tight-

You do! i absolutely adore Helen. she's great, really. we've talked a couple of times... [she squeezes him]

  It is fine Beau -wraps his arms around her and sighs- honestly I just miss her.

.... I can relate. i don't want to imagine what it'd be like to lose Gerry, Aelia or Nico... i mean, i'm not really close to Nico, but... it's still not okay. [he gets on her tip toes and kisses his cheek]

  Well to be honest I’m not doing too hot, my sister Penny has sorta gone invisible woman and I haven’t seen her in forever.

.... Storm, i'm really sorry, i... i didn't know.

  Meh, lets not talk about me. How are you beautiful Beauregard?

I want to hear about you though. you're my boyfriend! I'm doing perfectly fine!

  -grins and flutters his eyelids- 

[she reaches out and pokes his nose] 

  …. of water of course!

[gives him a stern glance] 

Fuck this shit, I need a drink.

Oh no you don't...

Hey, that sounds great, Lauren! Are you composing again?
