Vianna smiled warmly as Ferris assured her that he would visit his parents later, and she nodded her head slightly in response, her sparkling blue eyes watching him absentmindedly. But it seemed that, like him, the girl was also having a little difficulty looking away from him, and just the sight of him got her smile to widen, a very typical-lovestruck-schoolgirl look taking over her features.

Mr. and Mrs. Vincenzi seemed to notice this new sort of lovey-dovey aura around the younger pair and they couldn't help feeling a bit panicked. But ever since Fervi had left, they had grown rather worried that the pair might have randomly decided to get married wherever they were, and seeing them so lovestruck only seemed to feed on to their worries. "You two aren't married, are you?" asked Mr. Vincenzi suddenly, successfully snapping Vianna out of her daze.

The young girl blinked, rather puzzled by the question. "Wha'... no. No, of course not!" she replied, her eyebrows raising slightly. What could have possibly made her parents ask that? "We promised you we wouldn't..."

Mr. and Mrs. Vincenzi sighed with relief then, and the smiles returned to their faces, looking positively thrilled and relieved with this confirmation, now officially free of the worry that had been nagging them for the past year.

ooc: I'm off for now, Ruthie Ruthersss Ruthless SS Criminal Bob Charlie Pillsbury Dough Girl XIV! Byeee!

OOC: Awww alright! Byee Dee Derupers Debbie Downer Charlie XVI!!!!

Ferris was just admiring the colour of Vianna's bright blue eyes when her father very suddenly asked if they were married. His dark eyes widened, turning to the older couple across from them with surprise in his features. "No!" he immediately replied as Vianna did, letting out a soft chuckle as the Vincenzi parents let out a sigh of relief in unison. "We wouldn't do that," he promised them softly, a small smile on his pale features. And though it was rather tempting when they were roaming through romantic villas in far away towns, Ferris always reminded himself of how it felt to have Mr. Vincenzi looking forward to him becoming a part of the family. He wasn't going to ruin that. No way.

The relief was beyond obvious on Mr. and Mrs. Vincenzi's faces as both kids assured them they wouldn't get married without letting them know. "Good!" said Mrs. Vincenzi after a moment of taking in this relief, "This means I still get to help plan - have you kids thought of a location? Oh if it's here we most definitely should have it in Rome, the churches-- oh, no! Florence! Florence would be perf--"

"Mum!" said Vianna suddenly, a bit wide-eyed. When exactly did her parents get so excited about this?! What had she missed in the past year?! Either way, it was beginning to freak her out a bit. "We haven't even-- not yet," she muttered, shaking her head slightly with a small smile.

Mr. and Mrs. Vincenzi's eyebrows rose slightly. "Have you kids changed your mind?" asked Mrs. Vincenzi after a couple moments of silence.

"No!" Vianna replied immediately. "That's not it, you're just..." Well, telling her parents that they were being weird would be rather mean and rude, so Vianna trailed off.

OOC: Oh hello Dee! Just gotta let you know that posts might be a little slow!

Ferris's eyebrows rose slightly as Mrs. Vincenzi mentioned that this meant she could still help plan, going onto ramble about a number of differnt locations within Italy that would be perfect for their wedding. Where had that come from!? He turned to Vianna with slightly widened brown eyes as she attempted to explain to her mother that they hadn't thought about it. His eyes widened further as Mrs. Vincenzi then asked if they'd changed their mind. He shook his head, rather surprised at that sudden conclusion, and listened as Vianna verbally denied the accusation before trailing off. "We just haven't gotten there yet," the boy stepped in with a polite smile, gently squeezing Vianna's hand that was still resting within his own on the couch. "We haven't gotten the chance to discuss it all that much..."

ooc: Okay Ruthers, no problem!

Mr. and Mrs. Vincenzi listened quietly and attentively as Ferris explained to them that they hadn't really gotten the chance to talk about the wedding much lately. "But... you had a whole year!" said Mrs. Vincenzi, her eyebrows raised with mild surprise.

Vianna looked even more surprised than her parents. "We were distracted," she explained simply, a little taken aback by her parents' interest. A silence fell upon the group at that moment, and the three Vincenzis remained quiet for a couple moments before Mrs. Vincenzi spoke again, "Well tell us about your trip! Did you take pictures? Don't think I forgot!" she said, grinning excitedly once again.

OOC:

Ferris gave a small shrug and a weak smile as Mrs. Vincenzi pointed out that the couple had had a whole year to talk about the wedding. Before he could answer, Vianna had responded with his words exactly, 'they'd been distracted'. It was then that the woman asked if they'd taken pictures, wanting to know how the trip had gone. "It was...great," the boy said with a warm smile crossing his features as he turned to share a small look with the girl at his side. "First we went to Amsterdam..." he started, gently releasing Vianna's hand to pull a tiny backpack out of his pocket. He returned it to its normal size before taking out a number of moving photographs; a whole stack. He handed it to the Vincenzi parents with a polite smile, handing over pictures that exposed Fervi all over the place, everywhere from Amsterdam to Spain, partaking in a number of rare and rather adventurous things (that Ferris didn't seem too thrilled about in most of the pictures). But there were lots of pictures that revealed the pair laughing by foreign shores, taking randomly pointless pictures of one another (there was one of Vianna sleeping on the shoreline that the boy had taken on a beach in Greece). "Then we went to Greece, and Ireland, and Germany...We even made it to Spain, like I said...." Memories began to flood back to Ferris, who remembered each place clearly and wonderfully. But each country was so different from the others, and they'd traveled on foot all around the large cities and towns each country had to offer.

Mr. and Mrs. Vincenzi eagerly received the photos Ferris handed them, their eyes widening slightly and sparkling with curiosity (it was clear to see where Vianna had inherited that childlike curiosity of hers) as they went through each picture, some times commenting to each other in Italian murmurs, looking quite pleased with what they saw. But as parents nothing made them happier than seeing their own child happy, and there wasn't a picture where their daughter didn't look absolutely ecstatic, or thrilled, except of course the ones where the camera might have caught her off-guard or sleeping or something of the sort. And they were glad to see that Ferris had kept his promise and taken care of the girl, and as if their lovey-dovey mushiness wasn't already obvious enough in person, the photos only made it even more clear. "Looks like you two had an amazing time," commented Mr. Vincenzi after a few moments of examining the pictures, his eyebrows slightly raised. "A whole year…" he muttered, more to himself than to the others. But he still couldn't get over the fact that he'd just let his daughter run off with her fiancé for a whole year. "I hope there will be no more year-long trips until you're sixty," he said, raising his eyebrows slightly at the kids.

Vianna chuckled softly and shook her head slightly. "I think this will be the last for a very long time," she said.

Mr. and Mrs. Vincenzi were distracted for another couple moments, still going through the pictures, until Mrs. Vincenzi turned her gaze upon the pair once again and asked, almost cautiously, "So what are you kids going to do now?" she asked, one of her eyebrows raising slightly. But they hadn't really talked with their daughter about what she would be doing now, if she was moving out or staying at home, where she would be working, if Ferris would return to England now, etc. And the question seemed to catch Vianna off-guard as she remained quiet, her expression turning a little thoughtful before she turned to the boy at her side, her blue-eyed gaze a little lost.

Ferris watched with an almost proud gaze as Vianna's parents flipped through the pictures, obviously happy with what they saw. He took Vianna's hand once more, watching the couple across from them absentmindedly before taking the stack of photos back as Mr. Vincenzi commented that they'd obviously had an amazing time. "Definitely," the boy agreed with a warm smile, setting the photos next to him on the couch as he intwined their fingers, listening as Vianna assured her father that there wouldn't be any more long-term trips for a while. He admired the sight of her for a moment before Mrs. Vincenzi spoke, asking a very relevant question; what would the couple do now? Ferris turned to look at Vianna just as she looked at him, his brown eyes a little thoughtful and almost cloudy as he thought. "I'm...not sure," he admitted to the Vincenzi parents, though he was still staring at Vianna for another couple moments. He finally tore his gaze away from her to flash Mrs. Vincenzi a weak smile. "I need to talk to Flitwick to see if my job's still available, but....it's really up to Vianna...Where she wants to go to work, where she wants to..." he rambled along slowly, softly, his brown eyes finally turning to Vianna. "...live..settle down."

Vianna gave the boy at her side a small smile as he honestly confessed that the pair wasn't really sure what they would do now. It was something they hadn't talked about or planned or even thought about during this past year, they were too busy exploring new sights, trying new foods, and putting Ferris in situations that made him uncomfortable or uneasy (ever the oh-so-caring fiancée, Vianna's love for scaring the boy had not changed during this past year). She listened as the boy then explained that he needed to talk to Flitwick, but that it was all actually up to her, where she wanted to work and live and settle down. At this, Vianna's eyebrows rose slightly and the look on her face said 'Eh!? Me!? Why Me?!' "Uh…" She turned to her parents then and gave a brief, rather flustered chuckle. "I haven't… really decided anything yet," she said. But they couldn't expect her to decide her whole life right then and there! "I need to think about it," she said. She paused for a moment and turned to the boy at her side. "We need to talk about it," she added softly, giving him a small smile before turning back to her parents who were nodding their heads understandingly.

"Well, you're still young, you have time to decide," Mrs. Vincenzi assured her. "You know your room's always here, waiting for you. You can take as long as you need, Vi, we're not kicking you out," she added, giving the girl a warm smile. "When you two are ready and have decided on what you'll be doing, you just let us know. Keep us updated," she explained; she didn't want any more surprises after that secret engagement.

Ferris easily read the expression on Vianna's face in those exact words, 'Eh?! Me!? Why Me?!', and couldn't help but give a rather amused smile at it. She was just too funny. He listened as she told her parents that she hadn't decided anything yet, that both of them needed to talk about it. The boy gave a brief, understanding nod at this with a soft smile, listening as Mrs. Vincenzi then assured them that they still had time, that they just wanted to be updated. "We'll let you know if anything is decided," the young man promised with a polite nod of his head before letting out a slight yawn. But they'd been up since early that morning, packing up last minute things and taking one last walk around the small town they'd settled into in Spain for the past couple months. "You know what? I think I'm going to head home for a couple hours, get a bit of rest, and I'll come back to see you in a bit, Vi," the boy said rather suddenly. But the thought of a nap was all rather tempting, but he definitely wasn't going to sleep alone, so he made it clear to Vianna with the way he squeezed her hand that he was planning on sneaking into her room; suggesting that maybe she should plan on napping as well. But he was actually a little curious now as to what Vianna was thinking for the future, and meeting up in her room would be a nice chance to discuss some things.

Mrs. Vincenzi nodded her head slightly as Ferris promised her and Mr. Vincenzi that they would keep them updated about anything they planned, satisfied with the kids' promises. And it was then that Ferris decided he wanted to take a nap, announcing that he'd be going home for a couple hours and would return later that day. "Oh, of course, you kids must be exhausted!" said Mrs. Vincenzi, almost jumping up to her feet right then and there. And before Vianna - who'd understood the boy's intentions - could suggest taking a nap as well, Mrs. Vincenzi had already decided for her, "Vi, you should probably get some rest too, you look tired, amore," said the woman, giving her young daughter a sympathetic look, as if Vianna was suffering from a great illness rather than just tiredness.

Vianna gave a smile and nodded her head, getting up to her feet then, her hand still with Ferris's. "I think a nap sounds perfect," she said, turning to Ferris then and leaning on her toes to place a kiss on his cheek. "See you in a couple hours?"

Ferris gave an amused smile as Mrs. Vincenzi seemed to read both of their minds and decided that Vianna should get some rest too, a suggestion to which Vianna agreed with near immediately. He turned to the girl as she suggested that she'd see him in a couple hours, kissing his cheek, "Yeah, a couple hours," he agreed with a warm smile before taking a step back and taking out his wand. "I'll just apparate to the floo station..." he murmured, flashing the group a grin before popping out of sight. And he popped back into the Vincenzi home just a moment later, onto Vianna's bed. There he sat, waiting for his fiancee to catch up with him as he leaned back casually onto the pillows with an amused grin on his face.

Mr. and Mrs. Vincenzi bid Ferris farewell with warm smiles on their tanned faces before turning to their daughter as the boy disapparated out of sight. "Dormita un po', amore," said Mrs. Vincenzi softly, placing a kiss on Vianna's forehead before giving the girl another brief hug, just to make up a little for all the time that she didn't get to hug her these last twelve months. Vianna returned the hug tightly, honestly having missed her parents and receiving their loving gestures, before then giving her short father a hug as well and dismissing herself. A couple moments later, the girl was upstairs, and the brightest of grins lit up her features as she opened the doors only to be greeted by the sight of Ferris already waiting for her in the bed. "What a surprise to see you here, Professor!" she said with mock shock on her features before giggling lightly with amusement, walking over to the bed and taking a seat beside the boy.

Ferris grinned as Vianna opened the door and mentioned what a surprise it was to see him in her bedroom, "I know, it must've been the shock of your life," he added with a soft chuckle, watching as she took a seat at his side. But it wasn't long after that the boy had stolen her waist and pulled her down on top of him with the warmest of quirky smiles on his face, "Hey," he greeted her as though he hadn't just been at her side two seconds ago, his brown eyes glued to her expression admiringly. It would appear that Ferris had let his facial hair grow out mostly for the past year, though he'd trimmed it every now an then, it was now a good layer of dark brown scruff on his once-pale face. And that brought up a very good point! Ferris's face wasn't all that pale anymore, it definitely wasn't tan, but it was warmer and his entire expression gave the feel as though he'd been out and about; adventuring.

Vianna laughed lightly as Ferris playfully told her that he knew, that it must've been the shock of her life. It was then that he stole her waist and pulled the girl down, on top of him, and she chuckled softly at this, having grown used to these unexpected kidnappings over the past year. "Hello there," she replied softly as he greeted her with a casual 'hey', her blue eyes sparkling and her smile bright. She took a couple moments to admire his features then, and it seemed that now that they were back in a familiar setting - her bedroom - the small changes in the boy seemed to stand out, to contrast. "Did I ever tell you you look really hot with that new light tan of yours?" she asked, raising her eyebrows slightly at the boy for a moment before placing her lips upon his own, letting them rest there for a couple moments before pulling back.

OOC: I need an hour or so!

Ferris was just admiring the way Vianna's bright blue eyes sparkled at him, when she suddenly asked if she'd ever informed him of how hot he looked with his new light tan. His eyebrows rose enough to nearly disappear into his hairline, and before he could respond to such a comment, she was already placing her lips on his own. Rather enthusiastic to feel her close once more, Ferris returned the gesture lovingly for the couple moments it lasted, pulling back with a warm smile. "No...I don't think you've gotten to that yet," he said rather breathlessly, flashing her a grin.

ooc: Aww alright Ruthers! See you then!

Vianna gave Ferris a bit of a grin as he replied to her question, telling the girl that she hadn't gotten to that yet. "Well, it's true," she said. "It makes it even more difficult to keep off you," she added with a soft, brief chuckle before meeting his lips again, kissing them gently for another moment before pulling back with another bright smile. But she was happy - no, she was ecstatic; she'd just spent the last year roaming around Europe without a worry in the world with her absolute favourite person in the planet, and even after spending all that time together, they still couldn't seem to get tired or bored of one another. Instead, they actually seemed to have grown even more in love than before, and at this moment, Vianna was the happiest girl in all of Italy, and she found it impossible to wipe the bright smile decorating her lightly tanned features (which had grown even more tan after that whole trip and spending so much time outdoors).

OOC: Aack! 1. SS is being slow!!! 2. That took longer than anticipated!

Ferris gave a handsome boyish grin as Vianna informed him that it was ture, that his new lightly tanned skin made it even more difficult to keep off of him. His eyebrows rose slightly, the informative comment sending a bit of a message to his brain that caused his heart to jump and a shiver to run down his spine. Before he could do it himself, she'd placed her lips on his own for another sweet moment, a gesture that he sweetly returned for the moment she let it last. As they broke apart, his dark brown eyes fluttered open only to see a smiling, beautiful Italian girl beaming above him, a sight that got his heart to catch a beat. "Did I ever tell you, you look really, really hot...." Ferris paused, letting his dark brown eyes roam over her features as he tried to think of something to specify. Finally, he just said, "Well...all the time." He flashed her a grin.

ooc: 1. YES!!! -Flails-
2. It's okay, Ruthless!

Vianna listened as the boy before her spoke, telling the girl that she looked really hot... and then he trailed off for a moment, causing her blue-eyed gaze to turn rather curious, wondering what he might be thinking about at that moment. And it was then that he spoke, deciding that the girl looked really hot all the time. At this, the young girl rose her eyebrows slightly and beamed, her blue eyes sparkling at the boy, clearly charmed and flattered by this compliment. "Well thank you, Professor!" she replied, pecking his lips gently for a brief second. "I love you."

OOC: It suckkssssss!

Ferris let out a soft chuckle as Vianna practically beamed at him, her blue eyes sparkling in the way that got his heart to practically melt. "You're welcome," he said as she thanked him, obviously a little dazed as she pecked his lips and informed him that she loved him. "I love you too," he said with a warm smile, dimples coming into view beneath all his scruff as he admired the girl before suddenly toppling her back over into the sheets. The neatly made bed was quickly getting destroyed as he toppled her back onto the comforter, beginning to pull it down so they could reach the warm sheets beneath. And then, out of nowhere, he placed yet another kiss to her lips as he started to de-comforter her bed.

ooc: -siiiigh- I knoww. =/ I don't think we'll get much done tonight.

Vianna flashed the boy before her a grin as he told her he loved her too, before he toppled her back onto the sheets, causing a couple giggles to escape the girl's smiling lips. As he then placed a kiss to her lips, the young girl was quick to return it, her hands soon finding those soft, brown curls she loved so much, her lips refusing to leave his own just yet, she wanted to make this kiss last, suddenly finding herself missing his lips on her own.

OOC: I know...Hopefully it'll be better soon!

Ferris, who had originally expected the kiss to last a total of two seconds, was rather surprised as Vianna began to actually kiss him, her hands coming up to rest in his dark brown curls. He paused in his de-comfortering of the bed for a moment, letting his lips greedily kiss her the way he was so dying to for a good long couple moments. Finally, he broke apart, flashing her a grin before pulling back all of the sheets a quarter of the way down the bed. And then, like the little boy he always seemed to be, Ferris crawled beneath the many layers of warm linen until he reached the middle of the very large bed, seeming to disappear momentarily before he turned around and peeked his head back out with a grin. "Get in here, gem...you're mine," he grumbled playfully, stealing her ankle (as that was closest to him) and pulling her with him beneath the sheets, into the depths of the bed with a warm smile.

ooc: I think it's back to normal now...

Vianna's crystal blue eyes fluttered open as the kiss came to an end, smiling brightly at the boy who was flashing her a grin that got her eyes to sparkle with admiration, charmed by the boy's effortlessly handsome looks. She was distracted, though, as he then disappeared under the sheets, and she sat up slightly with raised eyebrows before he suddenly appeared again, asking the girl to join him. Vianna gave an amused chuckle, and as his hand met her ankle, Vianna nearly gave a brief shriek of amused giggles. "Professor!" Her view of him was very dimly-lit now that they were beneath the sheets, and she chuckled softly with amusement at the boy's childlike ways. "What form of kidnapping is this?!" she asked, still highly amused.

OOC: DON'T JINX IT DEBBIE DOWNER!!!!!!!!!

Ferris let out a soft chuckle at the giggle-shriek Vianna seemed to let out as he pulled her towards him beneath the sheets, "Shh!" he said through his own chuckles. "Your parents will come in all worried, and then where will we be?" the boy pointed out with an amused smile, successfully pulling her to the middle of the bed with him, fully beneath a number of soft sheets. The boy laid over her partly, resting on his elbow on the left side of her slender frame as he used his free hand to rest on her waist, grinning boyishly at her as she asked what form of kidnapping this was, "It's Ferris's kidnapping," he replied, flashing her a smile before leaning down to kiss her lips lovingly once more.

ooc: LOL!!!! ! -Knocks on wood- I won't!!

Vianna only seemed to chuckle with amusement as Ferris expressed his logic to her, reminding the girl that her parents might come in all worried if they heard her. But once they were both settled beneath the sheets, comfortable at each other's side, the girl grew quiet, and the smile remained glued to her face as her blue eyes admired the sight of the boy beside her. She listened as he answered her question then, informing her that this was Ferris's kidnapping, and she laughed lightly with amusement before his lips met her own. And the second they did, the young girl was quick to return the gesture gently and lovingly.
