Drake would be holding her as he slept soundly having had a wonderful night. His eyes would flutter open as he looked to the woman in his arms who he considered his true heart. Smiling he would kiss her forehead before talking “ hey, lets get up.” he said slowly petting her head lovingly “ You didn't want to wake up without me there so I figured waking you up is fine?” he asked half teasingly and half honestly. He would wait for her to wake up and respond before saying anything else “ I was going to get up and start breakfast. Was there anything in particular you wanted?” he asked as he just relaxed with her in his arms loving how natural this felt for them. 

-----

Slowly waking as she felt something press against her forehead, the egyptian smiled quite happily. Blinking up at the blonde man beside her, she laughed and rolled her eyes at his words. ”Did you think I would be upset with you for waking me up? I’m glad you did.” Shifting, Alistar leaned closer to him to give him a lingering and passionate kiss. Breaking it, she smirked as of course naughty things went through her mind. Yet she knew she had to keep it somewhat clean. ”Pancakes? With eggs and bacon please.” Giving him yet another quick kiss, she rolled out of the bed and headed for the shower.

----

Drake chuckled at her response “Maybe, depends on how well you slept.” he said and would kiss back just as passionately before he heard her request for pancakes with eggs and bacon. “Alright, I will get to work right away my fiancé.” he said smirking at the fact he could call her that and before she could say anything he had gotten up and made his way to the kitchen to start cooking. He was feeling light and happy which were always a good combo in his mind. No soreness and no bad thoughts usually meant he was doing good and hopefully would stay that way.

----

Alistar stretched, turning on the shower. ”It was a good sleep. Maybe not quite enough for a good rest, but not bad.” Stepping in the egyptian took her time cleaning up and getting ready for the day. Of course she wanted to look good for Drake, but they also had class later on and would need to head that way soon. They had picked Astennu’s class and would be doing some kind of combat related session. So dressing appropriately was a must.

Once she was dressed and ready, Alistar came out to the kitchen to help set the table. ”So what are we doing later on today? Is there anyone here at the school that you would want to tell about us?” Come to think of it, was there anyone that she would want to let know she was engaged now?

----

Drake would smile as he would focus on their breakfast soon having it all done just about the time she came out. Taking his plate he walked with her to the table and sat down to eat before thinking on her question. “I think I should tell Toni and Charlotte. They are the only people I really know here at the school other than you. Everyone else is gone that I knew.” he said calmly not sounding upset but that could be just his usual response to things that made him sad. “What about you? Any friends you made here or close enough acquaintances to tell about this?” he asked her. He wanted her to be as happy as she could be for this and being surrounded by people she enjoyed being around would be helping with that.

Picking at her food she thought out loud. ”Well, I suppose I could tell Nick, and Niels. But I’m not so sure if Niels would be such a good idea… I haven’t really gotten the chance to hang out with too many people since I met you. You really have stolen me away.” Laughing, she dug into the food. Once the food was finished the goddess stood and stretched again. Moving closer to Drake, she smiled, placing a hand on his stubbly cheek. Giggling softly as she felt the coarse hair tickling her fingers. ”I’m not sure I’ve ever told you how handsome you are with stubble, or that I enjoy the feel of it.” Leaning down, she kissed his forehead and proceeded to take her plate to the sink.

—

Drake would blink and watch her leave after the kiss looking right to her ass then to her “you never did. I wouldnt have shaved clean so often if you had let me know.” he said before touching his face. He always thought it made him look a bit dingy but here she was proclaiming she really liked it this whole time. “Is there anything else you like about me i dont know about?” he asked as he got up to also put his dish away.

—

Humming softly, it wasn’t hard for her to think of things she liked about him. ”You have beautiful eyes. You tend to wear your hair down, which hides them from everyone. I like it when you genuinely smile too. The corners of your eyes crinkle and they get a sparkle to them." Laughing, she shook her head. ”No go get ready or we’ll be late. Shoo.” Laughing, she shooed him away to get ready for class.

----

Drake chuckled and nodded and went to get ready for the day getting on his usual clothes when he was done. Coming back out to see her he had combed his hair enough to keep it out of this face so she could see his eyes “so, stubble and making sure my hair doesn't hide my eyes and to not fake smile.” he said before pulling her into a tight embrace “So we are going to our class today together right? Also I assume we will be partners there as well?” he asked her while gently swaying her while he held on. When she answered he would let go and take her hand so they could walk to the class hand in hand. 

----

Snuggling into his arms, Alistar stared up at him in admiration. ”It makes a difference.” Leaning up the goddess kissed his cheek. ”Come on now. We picked Astennu’s class today. We’ll need to find time for you to tell Charlotte and Toni about our engagement.” After walking to class it was a pleasant surprise for Alistar to see what the assignment was. ”This will really help! Instead of fighting each other we can practice working together for when we go against Ra.” it was very obvious that the Egyptian was excited about this.

----

Drake looked at the assignment and thought for a second about her words. “That is true, we haven't really tried fighting together much I am just now realizing.” He said finding it odd that both overlooked such an obvious thing but It wasn't like they didn't have time to start practicing from now on. “So how should we go about this. Should I go low and you high. Just try attacking at the same time and figuring out where we clash?” he asked obviously giving this his full attention.

—--

As they arrived at the class the pair discussed what they wanted to work on together. Alistar was familiar enough with his horrors but not as familiar with fighting, with Drake and not against him. Nor was she really used to working in tandem with someone else. ”Honestly, I think this is going to take a bit of work. Will it be you and your horrors fighting with me or just you? I want to make sure I know what to expect. We’ve done a lot of training that was me fighting against them but not much in the way of working together.” This was going to take a lot more thought than they first planned but it was a very good thing to have brought up.

After several tries, the pair paused to adjust their tactic and try again. ”I think we’ll want to work with Astennu at some point or use the training grounds more. I need to practice with the spear you gave me too.” Inhaling deeply it was very apparent that this was important to Alistar. 

-----

Flipping through the magazine, she ear marked a few of the pages that caught her attention. ”It sounds like you don’t know then, if you want a big wedding where we invite the whole school, or if you want just a few friends.” There weren’t that many people that knew Alistar and Drake that well. The two had mainly kept to themselves and honestly most of her friends had left already.

Leaning back into him as he asked her about her dreams of a wedding, she gave him a chortling laugh. ”You know I never dreamt of a wedding. You are the one who has made it even possible for me to consider having a family.” Tilting her head back and to the side, she grinned up at him before kissing his cheek. ”Now sit, I’ll sit on your lap and you can help me pick out decorations. Or would you prefer a shower first?” She did want to give him the option to do what he wanted to do.

-----

Drake would listen to her as he was softly rocking with her as he was a bit embarrassed of his uncertainty. “You're right…I'm conflicted on what I want for it.” he said softly before listening to her talk about how she hadn't ever dreamed of having a wedding before. When she offered to sit or shower he thought before letting go and sitting. “We can take a shower together after we relax some. I want to help pick decorations first.” he said smiling as he would wait for her to sit on his lap so they could look through the book together.

—--

Nodding as she watched him get comfortable, the Egyptian looked over the books and picked up several of them. Turning and sitting on his lap, she wiggled to tease him, and to get comfortable. Laughing as she leaned back, the woman seemed happier and more carefree than she ever had before. Opening up the first magazine, she flipped through a bit and pointed out things that she thought were interesting or cute. Not really looking to make a decision but more just to see what kind of theme they may want to go with. ”I know I probably don’t mind mixing in aspects of Egyptian things but I definitely don’t want them to be a center stage kind of thing… You mentioned your faith. Tell me about how they would decorate or hold the ceremony itself?” Shifting to lay her head back against his shoulder and look up at him, she felt a strange kind of blissful peace that made her incredibly happy, and it showed as she smiled up at him.

----

Drake would think on her question before closing his eyes. "There would be red cloth draped over the ground and hanging from the ceiling. There would be the calming scent of incense burning to help relax any nerves people may have. We would both be in white with red accents." He said smiling before looking to her "maybe we change the clothing accent to gold or a mix of both?" He asked wanting her opinion on the idea before he continued.

----

Patiently waiting for him to explain, amber eyes took in his visage with contentment. Closing her eyes, she did her best to envision the picture he gave. Humming happily, Alistar rubbed the back of her head against his collar bone gently. ”White and gold are fine. I think accents of red would be easy to incorporate.” Flipping through the magazine, she found a few things that were roughly what they were talking about. ”Stuff like this? Which one would you like better? The Red with the dark ribbon or the one with the full red?” Looking up at him, she showed him the two boutonnieres that she had seen.

----

Drake would hum feeling her head rubbing his collar bone and smiled as he looked at the two. "I think I like the dark ribbon one. It makes the red pop more and looks more sophisticated like a wedding." He said softly as he slowly took his arms and wrapped them around her stomach to just hold her lovingly.

Ripping out the picture she sat it next to them and continued looking through the magazine. ”do you want to pick your outfit out on your own?” Pausing, she thought about that. ”Actually, at the very least will you have Charlotte or Toni help you?” She didn’t mind if he wanted to pick something out himself, but she really didn’t want to see him standing at the alter in some Roman or fantasy outfit that looked cool to him. Obviously the goddess knew that Drake would take it seriously… but she also did not doubt just how bad his sense of fashion was, given the aprons that he wore. ”Would you want to help me pick out my dress or do you want it to be a surprise?”

----

Drake would think for a moment as he thought about her first couple of questions while looking at the magazine. “What about something like this?” he asked as one of the suits caught his eye. “I could go and talk to them to see what they think. I have never been all that fashionable.” he said looking at her while he thought about her next question. “I think i would like a surprise.” he said, kissing on her neck “And i'm sure whatever you decide to wear will take my breath away.” he said smiling to her.
