I need to ask you something.

*takes another drink, looking straight ahead as he composes his thoughts*

Okay. So... I saw you with... whoever that was. And I'm not suspicious. I'm not jealous. I trust you completely, but I need to ask you something.

*finishes off his drink and motions to the bartender for another*

With people out there who can touch you... why me? I can't... give you everything you deserve. Why would you want someone who can't?

*reaches out and hooks gloved fingers under your chin, turning your face so that her eyes can meet yours*

Because ah love you.

Is it so strange t' you, Jim Harper? There's one man in this world who can touch me with no risk t' himself. Everyone else... it's like this.

Ah mean.... ah should almost be askin' you the same thing. Because you can touch any woman on this planet, any one of 'em, except me. An' yet you've picked that one gal you can't touch.

I can't touch any woman on this planet. Not without the possibility of angering spouses or doing serious jail time. *raises an eyebrow and looks at you*

But you're right.

*nods slowly, thumb brushing over your lower lip*

And y' picked me because... because it's not even pickin' me, right? Because it's like y' have no choice, because it's what your heart an' soul and body all want, and everything else be damned, right? Even if it means marryin' a woman y' can never lay your hands on.

*takes both of your hands in his*

The moment we met... I had no choice. I was done.

I've been yours ever since.

'xactly.

*smiles brightly, tears shining in her eyes*

It... it was strange. And hard. T' be near someone who could touch me, like Erik can. And in a purely physical way, ah can't lie, it felt good. But t' my head, an' my heart, it was wrong. Because it wasn't you.

If it can't be you touchin' me, then ah don't need to be touched, Jim.

*also teary*

So I have another question then:

Why haven't we gotten married yet? Because whatever we need to do, I'll do it. Big wedding, small wedding, rush off to Atlantic City or Vegas to elope... I'm ready.

*shakes his head*

And that was probably the least romantic thing you've ever heard.

*stares at you for a long moment, then pulls her hands back from yours, stands up, and wipes her eyes*

*holds out a hand to you*

Come with me.

-Anna Marie

*tosses some money on the bar, stands, and takes your hand*

Anywhere.

- Jim

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

*leads you outside, pulling you close and slipping her arms carefully around your waist*

Y' know... ah'm gonna beat this, some day. Learn t' control it.

-Anna Marie

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

I know. *grins*

But if you don't, I'm not going anywhere.

- Jim

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

So.

*lifts off gently, stopping to hover a few feet above the ground*

Where to, almost-husband? Where should we get hitched?

*grins at you, but is completely serious*

-Anna Marie

Um... Atlantic City is close. And they do weddings fast.
