Rachel apologized for not being present. He felt a little guilty about it, but he'd been busy too. It's not like they had a claim on all their time. "It's okay. I've been busy too. Between school, work, my grandfather, and my research project I haven't had much time either." He reassured her while leaving out the other parts. He was focused on all those things, but all those things including his new roommates and the fucking skulls consumed a lot of his time.
But all those half truths and omissions quickly fled as Rachel pulled him closer and whispered in his ear. His entire body reacted to the way she felt against him, her lips brushing the cuff of his ear and the softness of her mouth along his ear and jaw. He groaned audibly drawing a few stares from the people dancing nearby. But soon they were swept away in the current of the dance floor and no one could blame them -- this was a wedding after all. And they were both adults. It took him several moments before he realized she'd asked him a question and the look she was giving him meant she knew his answer before he even gave it. His voice was caught in his throat, dry and hoarse. "Yes." was all he could manage to spit out before he kissed her hard but still kept the propriety of a public display. They might be at a wedding but he wasn't Nox, he wasn't going to go all out on the dancefloor. He was a gentleman!
