[Closed] You're not just chosen

Who: Adrien & Snake
What: Adrien has an important question
Where: Bast's Temple
When: Jan. 7th
Warnings: Super cute stuff

Adrien had been considering for a long time. Since he'd woke up as Bast and now - now he's ready. He's talked to Marinette about it  so now the part that he's actually concerned with. Asking Snake.

Now he's got everything set up. He's got food laid out for dinner - even places for the snakes just in case they were hungry. Quinn is curled around his shoulders and nudging at him soothing and comforting since he senses Adrien's anxious, nervous energy spiking. Each nudge calms him a bit. Plagg isn't even teasing him this time. He'd teased him before. During Christmas and at the dance but now he's not. Apparently the kwami understands how important this is.

Even Adrien's outfit is a bit different than normal. He'd donned a dark green button down, black jeans, and styled his hair with care. He fussed a bit with his shirt cuffs and smoothed his palms down along his jeans.  He'd left a note for Snake in the green house tied carefully around a small dragon shaped vase of large daisies, red carnations, red tulips, red roses and white.

Please, come have dinner with me.  ~ A♥ 

So now he was waiting, pacing. The table is set two seats across from each other, there are more flowers on the table in a vase; lit candles there, too. He'd been careful to make it look cozy and not over the top but still romantic - this dinner is different than usual after all. He can't stop himself from gnawing gently at the tip of his thumb or twisting his ring on his finger.

Snake had seen this question coming, so he had also asked Marinette some time ago. She's okay with him noraing, even if he's still a little worried that she was just saying as much to make him happy. When he gets a note like that from Adrien, he gets the feeling he knows what is going to happen.

He decides to pick out his nicest looking formal clothes and even combs back his hair to be neat. He has Shelly and Ayn help him out with making sure that he looks his best for his boyfriend. He is sure Adrien won't care if he showed up in his laziest clothes, but that didn't mean that he didn't want to try to be the best he could be for the person he loves so much.

He shows up as soon as he could after getting that note. When he sees Adrien with that table set up he can't help but to go a little red. He can't believe how sweet a gesture this is. It's exactly what he would want from a dinner. Something alone, quiet, with just them and some romantic flair. He moves to Adrien and pulls out his chair for him with the hint of a smile he tends to wear around Adrien now. As soon as Adrien sits he's pushing his chair in and wrapping his arms around the blonde, "'Thank you,' says Shelley."

"You made it." Adrien seems relief at his appearance. The blond smiles brightly and when Snake pulls the chair out for him he moves to sit and lets Snake play the gentleman for him. Something the both try to do for each other but they take turns. Feeling those arms around him he wrapped his arms around his waist. "You're welcome. You're looking very dapper and handsome." He's gesturing to the other dinner setting at the chair to his left. "I hope it's something to your liking. I um.." He glanced over to the breakfast bar in the kitchen. "There's food for the snakes in there. I thought it might be nice for us to just have a dinner for them too just in case they were hungry. I don't know when Ayn, Martin and Shelly last ate." Quinn has known this was coming so he is uncoiling himself and making his way down the chair and towards the kitchen. Adrien bites at his lower lip lightly, "I understand though if you want to keep Ayn or Shelly with you though. I won't make you send them into the other room or anything like that." He felt a little awkward saying it now but there's no taking it back.

Snake looks to them and lets them go. They seemed a little hesitant but they still leave. Snake knows how much it means to Adrien when he uses his own words, his own voice. It might not be something he finds easy, but if Adrien is going through all this effort there was obviously something important to be said.

Snakes don't really need to eat often, every other month would be acceptable if it came to that, but Snake let them eat a lot more often than that if they wanted the food. He sits up straight, that same not-smile there in his expression as he quietly says, "Thank you." He really means it. He loves that Adrien made him food, that he complimented him, that he was thoughtful enough to consider the snakes as well.

He takes a taste of the food and the look on his face says everything Adrien needs to know about Snake liking it. If that doesn't, Snake trying to restrain himself from shoving it all in his face at once should say something.

Adrien smiled happily. "You're welcome." He hadn't been certain what Snake would like but he'd made certain to have a bit of everything. There was some pasta, some vegetables, and a portion grilled fish and chicken on each of their plates since Adrien didn't know if Snake had any preferences. He'll eat a little breaking his fish apart with his fork. But eventually, "I wanted to talk to you about something. When we were helping out with the Baths and you were shedding and everything I.. talked to Marinette about you." He's moving his hands down to his lap, resting them there to hide the face that they might be shaking a little. "I asked her if she would allow you to have a name from me. she gave me her blessing to ask you if that was something you would like to do." So he turned shifting in his seat to face Snake. "Would you like me to name you? I know I have Shin and he is a good Shinki but I'd like you to have the protection of a second name. Just in case. We don't have to do it tonight I just want you to consider it." If Adrien were honest he might feel just a bit like he's being selfish asking for this but he can't stop himself from wanting it - that connection.
