Don't You Forget About Me

Kali looked over at him with a smirk, shaking her head. “Oh trust me, I know. You tend to just watch while I skate but I figured why not?” She smiles then, shrugging her shoulders and grabbing another pair just case he decides to go out before getting into the passenger’s seat and nodding her head. “There is. Your mother kind of…gave me my own rink in a way. I like to teach classes in my free time when I’m not training or anything and I guess she figured why not?” She motioned for him to start the car. “Just drive and I’ll let you know how to get there.” She had to stop herself from grabbing his hand as she had gotten so accustomed to, moving to turn on the radio instead and humming along with the songs that came on. It didn’t take much, telling him when to turn, before they arrived and Kali felt like she was buzzing. “I’m a bit excited to show you what I can do.” She explained, bouncing on her toes and running towards the door. “Come on, Scruffy! Hurry up!”

His smile softens when he sees hers light up, part of the guilt inside of him momentarily disappearing. Elias opens the door for her then moves around to the drivers side, but looks over at Kali before starting the car. His head tips to the side and he smiles, laughing slightly, because he thinks of how it's an extravagant gift in her own special way. "Really? That's pretty amazing." He nods to her command, starting up the car and heading out onto the palace driveway. From the corner of his eye, he notices that Kali stretches out her hand and it freezes for a moment before turning the radio on. "Are you now?" Elias laughs then follows her out to the door, jogging slightly when the blonde tells him to hurry up. His eyebrows furrow at the nickname and before she can move into the building, he gently grabs her wrist and spins her gently. "I know that I may not remember you, but you can still do the things that we would normally do. Like hold hands or whatever else we did. Maybe if my body recognized the physical things, then the memory thing will help it along." He shrugs and thinks he may have read that somewhere but he's not sure. It just sounded like an appropriate thing to say. Looking into her eyes, he gently rubs his thumb along her pulse point then lets go, looking up at the building. "Alright! Skating. Let's do it." 

Don't You Forget About Me

She kept her eyes on where his hand was connected with hers, feeling a lot more calm to see that at least subconsciously, he might recognize her for who she was to him. Kali looked over at him when he stood up with her, grinning at the awkward way he had held himself before shaking her head. “I’d ask what you do in the military but I know that already and I was kind of your assistant for a while so I know the whole royal responsibilities thing you have. But you know what?” She stepped closer to him and took his hand, lacing their fingers together and leading him through the bedroom with a nod at his mother and father. “I’m gonna show you what I do best. Well one of the things.” She explained, leading him to the garage where she kept her skates and smirked at him. “We’re going to the rink okay? I think you need to get out for a little while. What do you say?”

Elias cocks his head when she begins to shake her head and speak about the things that she knows. Even though they haven't known each other for a long time, he is shocked by the amount of information she knows about him. "What?" he asks absentmindedly before their fingers are laced together and he's standing up to follow her off the porch. "Where are we..." he trails off before staring at his parents confused and walking out into the hallway. They move down to the garage and she finally gives him an answer. "Going out sounds good, but I'm not exactly the best at ice skating, despite the fact that I live in a frozen country." He stares into her eyes then nods, watching as Kali grabs her skates. Digging into his pockets, he pulls out the keys to his car and starts to move towards the vehicle. "Is there a specific place you go?" Elias hates that he has to ask, because he's sure some part of his brain knows the answer but he can't think of it right now. Probably because his brain is failing him when it comes to the blonde.

Kali looked up at him smiled warily. “Well you were gonna leave. You had made you way to the airport after leaving me peonies as an apology. I stopped you before you could. I didn’t want you to leave. So we moved out of the village to stay together.” She explained, looking down at their hands and smiling despite the way she was feeling. “It was fine. I should have explained that I had left Dante. I just figured you knew after our night together but I assumed so that was on me.” She inhaled sharply when he asked her not to give up on him, nodding her head. “I couldn’t ever give on you Elias. You mean too much to me for me to do that. I just don’t want you to feel pressured to be with me when you don’t remember me right now.” She pressed a kissed to his cheek and stood up. “So is there anything you want to know besides that?”

His eyes widen in shock, hearing her say that he was willingly going to leave her. Which he thinks would have been stupid. But that's based on a gut feeling he has right now after kissing her. Elias just hums at everything, smoothing his thumb over her knuckles again before looking up into Kali's eyes. "I am glad that you won't give up on me. But I don't feel pressured by anything..." He looks up at her when she stands up and feels a loss for words. Even though he didn't remember this girl, he feels guilty that she's getting up to leave. Quickly, he stands up and stuffs his hands into his pockets and shakes his head. "No, nothing else right now. Um....is there anything you want to ask me? I doubt I'd be of much help for anything though." Pausing for a moment, he looks into his bedroom and sees that a discussion is still going on, which is very unsettling for him.

Don't You Forget About Me

Kali let out a moan, unable to stop herself when Elias kissed her again, happy that she didn’t have to stop just yet. She had been certain that she wouldn’t get to touch him let alone kiss for a long while with all his memories of her gone but this hadn’t changed. She panted slightly when he pulled away, biting her lip to stop the whine that was bound to leave her. “Sure, anything you want.” She looked up at him, furrowing her eyebrows and shaking her head. “I don’t….I never asked you. I guess I never really needed to after we had this one fight. It was after I won the gold, and I had to spend time with my ex but you didn’t know I had broken up with him for you. You flirted with this other woman and I guess we both got a bit jealous. I’ve never been so angry at someone but I think it’s because I loved you so much even then. When we actually said I love you the first time, it was in passing. We were talking about red velvet cake and it happened. I just count my blessings knowing that you do…did love me.” 

He looks down at her as she bites her lip, willing himself to push all the dirty thoughts from his mind. But then she's shaking his head and he pulls away slightly to listen to Kali speak. As he listens to her tell their story about their fight and how they said I love you, he's shocked. Part of him feels like he would tell her why she was the one since it seemed so obvious to everyone but him that he felt that way. "What happened after we fought?" Elias moves his hand to take her hand in his and he looks down at them, rubbing his thumb over her knuckles before looking into her eyes. "I am sorry that I flirted with another woman. Obviously I was a moron." He pauses and lets out a shaky breath. "Don't say 'did love you,' Kali. Something felt right when we kissed just now. Don't give up on me or my memory just yet. Okay?" It was a lot to ask of her, especially after everything that it seemed like he put her through, but it seemed like the right thing to do.
