*Icarus frowned.*
"A gift? At a time like this? Do you really think it's wise..."
*But still...he was rather curious.*

*Malefica smiled and looked up at him.*
"You are so cute when you frown like that! You look just like Eden!"
*She found a big, heavy parcel from her basket, that was standing by her feet. She opened it, and inside was a big, heavy black book.*
"It belonged to my adoptive father, Merlin. It contains all his spells, and I also added some of mine. I want you to have it. As a memory of me."

"I most certainly do not." *Icarus answered indignantly.*
"If anything, she looks like me."
*But his words faded as she offered the book. He took it without hesitation, leafing through it with keen interest. Everything else seemed to melt away.*

*Malefica smiled and looked at him leafing through the book. She loved to see him happy.*
"Do you like it?"
*she asked, waiting eagerly for his reaction.*
"I don't even know IF I am going to the war, but if I am, and the worst should happen, I wanted to give you that book as a token of my love."

*It took him almost a minute to process her words. But when he did, he closed the book with a renewed frown.*
"I won't let you. I won't lose you."
*He couldn't risk it, not since she'd removed his ring. She wasn't safe anymore.*

*Malefica looked up at him. Finally she understood the meaning of his words and beamed with joy.*
"Oh, Icarus!" *she whispered and threw herself in his arms.* "I don't want to lose you either."
*She looked him deeply in the eyes. Her heart was filling with a love stronger than she had ever felt before. She blushed and leaned against him until her lips were only a few inches away from his.*

*Something warmed in him, but Icarus was still very much aware of the situation. The faintest hint of a smile hid in the corner of his mouth. He left her there, precariously waiting for that kiss she seemed so eager for. When would she learn? He gazed down at her, observing her. Finally, he whispered softly.*
"You know...you are eager enough to stand up for what you want when it involves your elven companions. Why is it that with me, you are always waiting to be given what you want? If you continue to do so, you might be waiting a very long time."
*He leaned closer, his lips very near her own as his voice warmed.*
"So why don't you just...take it?"

*Malefica smiled warmly and looked up at him. The love in her heart grew even stronger. She leaned closer to him, until her lips almost brushed against his.*
"Was that an invitation? How would you react if I accepted it? Like this..."
*She gently wrapped her arms around him and kissed him hotly.*

*His smile grew against her lips. It wasn't the kiss per se, not that he wasn't adapting to the contact. In truth, it wasn't so bad. But the fact that she'd not waited for him again... well, kind of, but it was a start. He answered her by deepening the kiss. After a long moment, he straightened, his eyes still shut as he whispered.*
"Now that wasn't so hard, now was it?"

*Malefica breathed out, the kiss had taken her breath away. She looked up at him and caressed him gently.*
"It was lovely. But.... I think I need some more practice to master it fully."
*She leaned against him again, and looked up at him, questioning.*

*It was awkward for him, outside and all, but Icarus allowed her will to be done. Some slight concession now might make things easier in the future. He hoped it would anyway. Otherwise he'd be perplexed. He met her eyes, her question not answered in his as he lifted his brow.*
"Perhaps. But there is only one way to know."
*After that he was silent, waiting.*

*Malefica looked up at him. She wanted this to work as well, because she loved him. She wanted him to be happy, as much as she wanted happiness for their daughter Eden. She lifted her hand and let her fingertips draw gentle swirls over his skin. She leaned towards him, her lips were only a few inches away from his. Her cheeks were blushing, and her heart was beating faster.*
"And what is that way?"
*She waited for his reply.*

*Icarus resisted the urge to sigh. Instead he licked his lips before speaking slowly, accenting each word.*
"Take. What. You. Want."

*Malefica looked warmly up at him and pressed her body closer to his. Her warm lips came closer to his. Her beautiful, glittering doe-eyes looked deeply into his. She drowned herself in the depth of his eyes, trying to show him how much love she had kept for him in her heart. She hesitated for a moment, then she embraced him and kissed him, with all the love and passion she had to give.*
"I love you, Icarus...." *she whispered between kisses.*

*Icarus melted against her. It was a step. He embraced her warmly for a moment, then released her. Half of him wondered how far she would push things, especially outside. He never was good at gaging such things.*
