A Fancy Italian Restaurant on the Mainland, Tuesday Evening

[so_hawkward]

Well, the impossible had happened. Clint had officially managed to convince Kitty to date him for three solid years. Of course, he'd also convinced her to marry him, but tonight was about their dating anniversary, and he was trying not to think about how this might be the last time they celebrated this anniversary as they sat down at their table.

"Ooh, they've got real candles on the tables. Now I'm glad I wore a tie," he said.

[For the lady! NFB due to distance.]

"That's why we're taking it easy," she said, reaching for his hand over the table. "It'll be worth it when we actually do it. Or when I get my dress."

"Oh, that's going to be nice. Wait, I'm not allowed to see it until the day, never mind," Clint said, shaking his head. "Are you going to take people shopping with you? Maybe you should take Derek and you can pick out dresses together."

"I think Rachel and Ororo," she said, and there was always a little part of her that wished she had Illyana around for this. "Derek and I like don't talk anymore. I've seen him maybe twice this year, so that might be weird."

"Aww, I'm sorry," Clint said genuinely. "Are Rachel and Ororo going to listen to you, or is it going to be like those women on Say Yes to the Dress who try to convince their friends to buy something weird."

Shhh, he had a lot of free time to watch TV some days.

"I love so much that you know that," Kitty laughed. "Ororo will listen. And she'll make sure Rachel doesn't try to stick me in something that Emma would wear."
