Open Post: Who invented this calendar anyway?

How unfortunate.

Yes, Grantaire was fully aware that the year being longer at the mansion would logically cause seasons to drift when someone kept track of the old calendar, or at least what had been pinned down as the old calendar for convenience sake, which was almost necessary when people's arrivals weren't necessarily tied to the day they left. He hadn't given it too much thought last year, when his birthday, such that it was, arrived in spring like he was used to.

Dark, though, was unfortunate. Not inappropriate for the next notable anniversary coming up, but for this one, not at all. Of course, it wasn't as if he would have been planning much in the way of an event, Dark or no, but it would have been nice to treat himself to something or other, regardless.

Instead, he has installed himself in the game room, where he is carefully balancing dominoes on their ends to make a domino rally on the billiards table. It's a nice large flat surface, so it should work nicely. Have to keep entertained somehow.

Dionysus crawls back onto the bed himself now, moving extra pillows out of the way before he gets under the covers and scoots over to be ready for snuggles as soon as Grantaire is done changing.

Dionysus wraps his arms around Grantaire. "See, that's better," he says before giving him a warm kiss.

Dionysus stops breathing for a moment, staring at Étienne, in shock at the suddenness. "Yes -- of course -- okay -- yes --" he says, as soon as he's able to speak again. "Are -- are you sure?"

There's a half million thoughts swirling around in Dionysus's head right now, but before he can even begin to untangle any of them, he kisses Grantaire again and starts crying.

"I love you," he says between kisses.

"I do." There's a small, almost shy smile.

He goes back to kissing, and then asks, "When?" as his thoughts start to very slowly untangle themselves.

"Oh -- oh yes, definitely after Dark, I can't -- I want to make you a crown, and make us rings, and I want them to look good, so -- so definitely after Dark." Nothing bad will probably happen between now and then, right? It's not going to be -- to be another situation like happened with Ampelos, right?

"That's right, we've been brave enough to drink everything we've made, we can't disdain eating. I'll try after thee."

“No no, you don’t have to stay in bed,” he says. “I’ll just find some more bubble wrap and wrap you up in that.” This is an attempt at a joke.

He smiles and starts running his fingers through Étienne’s hair. “So — d’you want a big formal event like Claudius and Galahad had? Or… or something else? Oh, ooh, how do you feel about seeing if Claudius wants to officiate?”
