Vianna couldn't help but chuckle softly with amusement as Ferris played along with her, mentioning thoughtfully how he'd like the points she'd just made to be true, like he was just a hopeful teenage boy who was just now starting a relationship with a girl he wasn't sure felt the same way he did, not like the young man he actually was, already married with a wife and a little baby boy. It was amusing to the girl when they playfully acted like this, it was actually something they hadn't really had a chance to do in a long time.
As the young man then leaned down and awarded her a kiss, muttering softly her nickname in French before awarding her another kiss, Vianna couldn't help but beam, pure joy and adoration sparkling in her crystal blue eyes. But she had always loved these gestures coming from the person she loved most, she loved the feel of his lips on her skin, it was something she would never tire of. "Y'know... I feel like... like we've gone back in time," said Vianna with a soft chuckle. "Being here, and walking with you like this, just talking and teasing... and staying in a hotel room with our brothers and Airi... all of it, it reminds me of the time we spent running from the kidnappers," said Vianna with a smile, her face lighting up at this memory. It was true that along with memories of the kidnappers came some very negative and scarring memories too, but in the end everything had a happy ending, so it made the experience something a little more positive to think back on, especially when they were remembering not the kidnappers themselves but their relationship during that time.

Ferris's adoration for the girl at his side only seemed to grow as she beamed up at him in that way that she'd done for years, that way that got his heart to sort of jump up and down for a moment before simply melting and filling his entire being with a sort of coziness he never grew tired of. She was just simply too sweet, too beautiful and pure and gorgeous for him to tear his eyes away from, and he continued to watch her admiringly as she mentioned that it felt as though they'd gone back in time. His eyebrows rose slightly at this unexpected comment, amusement in his pale expression as she then explained that roaming around the streets, just teasing and talking, being at a hotel with everything...it all reminded her of the time with the kidnappers. He gave the warmest of smiles at this time that had grown to be a rather fond memory for him as it had turned out well; it was the first month he ever got to be around Vianna, his everything. "You're right," he admitted in agreement, flashing her a small smile as he squeezed her hand gently. But she was right. It felt as though they'd stepped back in time, before anything had really happened for them; when they were just a boy and a girl that couldn't keep their eyes away from each other. "It's nice."

Vianna smiled warmly as Ferris agreed with her, sharing that this was a nice situation. "It is," she said softly with a nod, just finishing off her pastry at that moment. But the sfogliatella was a rather messy treat, and it left crumbs all around the girl's lips. She was aware of the pastry's ability to make a mess out of whoever was eating it, and for that reason she turned to her husband, passing a hand over her lips and wiping most of the crumbs off the lower half of her face before innocently asking, "Do I have anything on my face, Professor?" It was rather amusing, actually, how childlike she looked at that moment, her lightly tanned face slightly messy and her big blue eyes a little worried.

Ferris had turned away with soft content on his expression after their exchange of words, his gaze resting upon the many shops and people surrounding him, taking in the sight serenly as an absentminded smile graced his features. But he returned his dark brown eyes to the girl at his side as she spoke, asking if she had anything on her face and revealing to him those innocent blue eyes, worried just barely over the couple of crumbs that remained on her beautiful expression, lightly tanned just as it always had been. He felt his heart catch is own breath at this question, one of the first that he could specifically remember her ever asking him, one of the many times he'd been caught admiring her expression and she'd innocently inquired into his motives. He couldn't help but admire her, but to take in every detail of that expression he knew so well and relish in the question he'd heard so many times but in so many different contexts. The young man had never found himself so utterly consumed by her beauty, by her natural shine as he did in that one moment, his brown eyes sparkling at her shamelessly as they merely stood in the road.

Ferris watched her, brown eyes completely dazed, for a long moment as they paused in the middle of the cobblestone road, before he very suddenly released her hand and instead picked her up very easily, gently wrapping her legs around his waist with a flash of his grin and pratically running into the nearest alcove; a tiny little alleyway between shops. His chuckles consumed him as he planted the warmest of sweet kisses all over her expression, his lanky arms secure and gentle around her as he kept her close and leaned his back against the wall, "Why are you so adorable?!" he complained in a teasing grumble between playful kisses, ignoring how odd they must've looked to all of the tourists. "You do it on purpose," he accused softly as his kisses slowed and he merely brought his expression back to watch Vianna's expression so near to himself, scanning her features in a slightly dazed fashion, dimples just barely in view.

Vianna blinked. Ferris had stopped walking, and now the two of them were just silently standing in the middle of the mildly crowded Roman street, their eyes exchanging gazes - Ferris's admiring, Vianna's puzzled and worried. She waited in the silence for a few moments, growing more and more uneasy with each second that passed. What, did she look so ridiculous that Ferris had been left speechless? She passed her hand over the lower half of her face again, hoping to wipe off whatever horrors were there that had left her husband this silent. Her gaze fell to the cobblestone streets as she did so, the lightest shade of pink beginning to grace her cheeks. That had been horribly embarrassing! What did she think, just randomly asking him that and letting him see her like that in the middle of the street!? She probably looked like a clown! Now, it wasn't like Vianna to be this paranoid and insecure, she had never worried about having things on her face around Ferris, since the young man usually just laughed it off, but… this silence. This time he didn't laugh, this time he was just silent, just staring at her, and it made the girl feel horribly self-conscious. She wasn't used to that sort of reaction.

"Sorry," muttered Vianna softly, her gaze still absentmindedly on the grounds, avoiding Ferris's gaze when, suddenly, the young man picked her up with ease, wrapping her legs around his waist and taking the both of them away into the nearest alleyway that stood between two shops. Completely startled by this sudden action, Vianna's blue eyes widened in surprise, looking completely lost for a moment there before a bit of amusement and curiosity began to wash over her expression. "What… what're you doing, Professor?!" she asked, smiling at the chuckling young man with puzzled amusement on her features before he then began to shower her lightly tanned face with kisses that managed to get a long string of joyous giggles to escape her lips. Vianna gasped as Ferris then asked why she was so adorable, assuming that she was doing it on purpose. "What?!" she asked, grinning with amusement now at the young man who had slowed down the kisses and was now just scanning her expression. "I haven't done anything!" she said in her defense with a soft chuckle, before it died out and a more sheepish expression took over her features, "I thought… I thought I had freaked you out just now," she muttered, her smile fading as a more worried and sheepish expression took over her lightly tanned face, her blue eyes absentmindedly falling to his shirt and avoiding his eyes.

Ferris's grin merely widened as Vianna let out those melodious giggles, warming his heart up as he listened to her defend herself, explaining that she hadn't done anything. "Yeah, sure," he grumbled teasingly as he pulled back and simply leaned his upper back against the brick wall of the alleyway, holding Vianna sweetly and securely as he admired those features he loved more than anything else. It was then, as he took in the sight of her, that he caught the smallest bit of sheepishness in her features, listening as she then admitted that she'd thought she had freaked him out just then. Confused momentarily, it took the boy a second to realize that this was what she must've been thinking of as a reason behind his silence. "Freak me out!?" he repeated through chuckles, pulling her even closer so there wasn't an inch of space between them, his expression a mere few inches from her own. "Vi, I've seen you in labour," he reminded her with an amused chuckle, brown eyes sparkling adoringly at the sight of her so adorably sheepish. "I find your crumbs to be the cutest thing I've ever come in contact with," he murmured softly as he leaned in just a bit more, their lips suddenly in a much closer proximity than he'd anticipated. He could feel her breath on his own, completely positive that she must've been able to feel his lips brushing against her own as he spoke, something he hadn't noticed until it was already happening. "A-And if I have to sneak you off in order to do something about it, I will," he teased in a playful grumble, referring to how they'd hidden away in an alley as his brown eyes fell from her lips back to lock with her bright blue eyes, right before his own. He hadn't felt this electrically close to her in a long time, hadn't felt that sort of magnetic spark in the space between their lips in what felt like ages. And it was surprisingly perfect, wonderful and completely taunting to the young man.

Vianna gave a brief, sheepish nod as Ferris asked for confirmation of her fears about having freaked him out, listening as the young man then reminded her of something she'd nearly forgotten; that he'd seen her in labour. The girl gave a soft chuckle at this, and she couldn't help but feel a bit silly at that moment. If Ferris hadn't freaked out back then over that, then it wouldn't make much sense for him to freak out now over just a few crumbs on her face. It made a lot more sense to her now, and her sheepishness only seemed to grow with that realization, no longer embarrassed about him seeing her look silly, but embarrassed to have felt embarrassed in the first place. It was like a never-ending cycle.

Vianna, who was still staring absentmindedly at her husband's shirt beneath his jacket, looked up as the young man explained to her that her crumbs were the cutest thing he had ever seen, something which got her to giggle lightly with amusement, her smile just naturally bright and cheery as it always was. She was a little distracted, though, by this proximity they were in now, by how close his lips were to her own, her blue eyes locking shamelessly on his own brown eyes, finding it impossible to look elsewhere, to tear her gaze away. Vianna seemed not to register his following words, now completely distracted by his eyes, by his eyelashes, by his lips gently brushing her own, and by this sudden urge she felt to just… kiss him. To really kiss him. And so she did just that a moment later, pressing her lips, which were already lightly resting on his, against his own in a warm, loving, but rather eager kiss, fueled by their proximity, by his words, by how wonderful he always made her feel.

Ferris's heart seemed to stop for a full moment as Vianna's lips suddenly found his own in a way that got his mind to fall into a haze immediately, his instincts coming over his senses and allowing him to return the gesture as lovingly as he possibly could. He was completely fueled by the feel of her so near, of how adorable she was with those big blue eyes, of how sweetly she was allowing her lips to treat his own. It was like breathing again.
And that was horribly ironic, seeing as this kissing thing resulted ultimately in losing all of his breath, but it was truly like breathing to the young man. It was relaxing and natural, nothing had to be thought about or planned, nothing had to be decided or worried about; it was just them. And no one else existed on the planet, it was just them for the first time in what felt like ages, and he was breathing again. He loved it, every second of it, his body needed it and required this kiss, this proximity to the person he needed and wanted most on the entire planet.

Vianna couldn't really remember the last time kissing her husband had felt this... amazing. It was and electrifying, satisfying gesture completely filled with love, and adoration, it was something she couldn't help feeling like she hadn't experienced in ages. It was wonderful to go back to this, to go back to the days when they could just kiss for as long as they pleased, however they pleased, without the worries of being late to work, or being tired from work, or a baby crying in the background, or a big belly standing between them, or six furry pets asking them for food. She'd missed this, and it wasn't until now that she was experiencing it again that she realized that, that she realized she'd missed kissing her husband like this more than anything else.

Eventually, after a few very long moments of this, Vianna was forced to pull away from the addictive kiss, taking a deep breath as she did so. Her blue eyes fluttered open and the brightest of smiles adorned her face, reflecting just how happy she felt at that moment, how glad she was to be where she was. She didn't really have words at that moment, her blue eyes merely gazing almost dazedly into her husband's brown ones.

Ferris took a long breath of much needed oxygen as they pulled back from their extraordinary kiss, his lungs grateful as they took in the one thing they'd been craving for what could've been hours. But the young man's brain wasn't on his deprivation of oxygen, it didn't care that his lungs were so bitter from being ignored, it only had room for the girl that meant everything; Vianna. His brown eyes were dazed as his mind sort of fogged over at the sight of her, loving the exhileration he was still receiving from that kiss, how every part of him seemed to be buzzing excitedly as he rediscovered how amazing it was to kiss his wife. Why did it feel like they hadn't kissed in years?! It was like they'd forgotten they'd both had lips, that they could kiss like they used to...

He couldn't look away from her, he couldn't even consider the idea of tearing his brown eyes away from her beautiful blue ones, his dimples coming out of hiding as he grinned at the girl wrapped up so tightly in his arms. And he didn't have words. Ferris just stood there with the warmest of smiles on his pale expression, watching her with all the admiration in the world shining through his gaze. He allowed his lips to return to her own in the sweetest of adoring pecks, adding another warm kiss to her jawline and then the very corner of her rosy lips, his brown eyes closing for a soft moment.

Vianna's smile only seemed to widen at the sight of her husband's own smile, just silently admiring the sight of him and the structure of his features before his lips found her own once more in a soft, gentle peck kiss she returned sweetly, as lovingly as she could, though very gently as well, not like the more demanding kiss they had just shared a moment ago. As it came to an end, the girl's blue eyes fluttered open and she giggled lightly as the young man before her placed a kiss on her jawline, then another on the very corner of her lips. She couldn't help but be amused, though, by how very teenager-like they were acting at that moment, hiding away in an alleyway to kiss. They were a married couple with a baby! This was teenager behaviour, the sort of thing they would have done years ago, the sort of thing they never really did anymore at home. It was amusing to the girl, though at the same time it was refreshingly exciting, like she was just that sixteen-year-old girl again, and her husband was back to being her seventeen-year-old boyfriend. It was nice to be able to travel back in time like this, to be kids once more and just forget about the rest of the world for a moment. They deserved it.

"Professor..." said Vianna softly after a few moments of silence only interrupted every now and then by the girl's giggles whenever her husband kissed her. "Let's make a promise to each other to make every anniversary like this," she suggested with a smile. "Well... not exactly like this," she corrected with a chuckle. She didn't want to be separated from him and leave him alone with her brothers for every anniversary after this one, of course. "But... let's give ourselves a day to just sort of... forget everything else like this."

OOC: I'm off for now Deee Derupersss! I'll see you tomorrow and I hope that your weather gets better!

Ferris hadn't felt this young in a long time. That sounded rather funny and a bit strange as he was still quite a young man, not yet even twenty-six. But these past years had been filled with a job and opening a bookstore and having a baby; they'd both been dealing with some pretty adult stuff. And so it was appropriate to say that Ferris hadn't felt this young in a long time. He hadn't felt free like this, excited and spontaneous, without a worry in the world, just Vianna at his side, in what could've been ages. It felt so good to be back in that place, for just a moment.

It wasn't as though he wasn't happy with his home life; not at all! Ferris adored his baby boy and coming home to his wife after they'd both had a long day at work, and tending to his bookstore every weekend; he loved it, he honestly did. But there was only so much that one man can take, and he'd been taking it all in for the past couple years without break it felt like. And as much as he loved it, as much as he adored it, it was nice to have this little tiny pause in game; a little vacation from it all where he could just do whatever he wanted to do, where he could just be with Vianna and kiss her whenever and wherever without a worry on the planet. It was nice, and they both needed it.

So as Vianna spoke with her giggles, suggesting that they make a promise to one another to make every one of their anniversaries like this one, his eyebrows rose as the warmest of smiles crossed his features once more. He listened attentively as she continued, explaining that it didn't need to be exactly like this day (he understood the separation reference), but that she wanted them to have a day where they could just sort of forget everything else. Ferris grinned at her from ear to ear, his dimples coming out of hiding as his brown eyes sparkled at her, "I promise," he decided softly, leaning forward to kiss her lips sweetly. "We'll take a day, maybe even just a weekend - Saturday and Sunday, just you and me in celebration of our anniversary. And we'll spend it wherever we want out of the house, we'll do whatever we want and we'll eat whatever we want and we won't worry about anything," the young man decided softly to her, his voice gentle and warm as he leaned his forehead against her own. "Just you and me."

ooc: Awww alright Ruthers, byeeee! Thanks, it's better already.

Vianna beamed as Ferris promised her that they would always take a day, or even a weekend, off whenever their anniversary came around, that they would spend it wherever they wanted, doing whatever they wanted, and eating whatever they wanted without a worry in the world. The girl's blue eyes sparkled brightly at this promise, obviously quite pleased that Ferris had agreed to this, and quite looking forward to their next anniversary already. But this was just so... perfect and wonderful, and Vianna felt herself grow even a little more excited as she remembered - it wasn't over yet! They still had the following day to continue like this. It would be perfect! "I can't wait for the next time, then," said the girl with a smile, pecking the young man's lips gently for a moment before pulling back with the brightest of smiles.

Ferris couldn't help but admire the beautiful sparkle that came to his wife's bright blue eyes, feeling his heart grow fuzzy at the sight of her smiling at him like that. The sweetest of smiles came onto his own expression then in result, his dimples coming out of concealment, displayed proudly on each of his cheeks as he listened to her mention that she couldn't wait for their next annivesary. He returned the peck she gave him lovingly for the sweet moment it lasted, brown eyes sparkling over at her as he pulled her even closer to himself. "Hey...our fourth anniversary isn't over yet," he reminded her with a raise of his eyebrows, flashing her a boyish sort of smile before pecking her lips lovingly once more, unable to help himself. "C'mon." And with that, he didn't put down Vianna in the slightest as he came out of the small alley, beginning to walk with his wife attached to his hip most literally, though she was really more attached to his waist, held there comfortably by his arms so secure around her.

Vianna beamed as Ferris reminded her that their anniversary was not over yet, something which sent a rush of excitement through her veins, a reminder that made her happier than she had even expected. But it felt great to know that this wonderful moment was not over, that they still had the rest of the night and the following day to spend happy together, enjoying each other's company in peace. As the young man then said 'c'mon', giving Vianna the impression that they were going to get going then and therefore he was going to put her down, a puzzled expression took over he features when he simply walked right out of the alleyway with her still wrapped around him. At this realization, Vianna's eyebrows rose and she chuckled softly. "So I'm not walking tonight, Professor?" she asked with amusement.

Ferris gave a soft chuckle and a grin as Vianna asked for confirmation that she wasn't walking at all that night, something that made his amusement grow as his brown eyes sparkled at her. "Not a chance," he decided as he leaned forward and pecked her lips lovingly, holding her comfortably up against his chest as he continued down the cobblestone street, his curls picking up just slightly with the small amount of wind in the cool night air. "You keeping warm gem?" he asked the girl in his arms with a slightly lopsided smile, dimples just barely coming into view as he glanced at her. "I don't want any frozen gems around," he told her playfully, flashing her a bit of a grin as he glanced around for a place they could go to maybe just sit and talk and watch whatever was around. "Hey gem..." he muttered softly, thoughtfully, as he gazed around the slightly crowded street. "Where's the nearest cool thing to look at?" he asked playfully, referring to a monument or sculpture or something.

Vianna chuckled softly as Ferris decided she would not be walking that night, her blue eyes fixed to his brown ones and completely unaware of the people staring at them as they passed by. She didn't have enough attention for anyone else who wasn't the young man before her, cozy as he held her securely against him. As he then asked if she was keeping warm, the girl nodded her head with a smile. "Very," she replied, momentarily distracted just in watching the young man before her before he spoke again, asking what the nearest 'cool thing' to look at was. The girl chuckled softly at his choice of words before a more thoughtful expression took over her features. "Hmm..." Her brows furrowed slightly as she thought about this for a moment before speaking, "Saint Peter's Square? We could go into the basilica, if you want," she suggested with a smile. "Or if you don't want to do much walking and just want to look at pretty things, we could go to the Ponte Sant'Angelo," she said. "It's a bridge, it's ancient... but it's really nice, and it offers a really nice view of the city."

Ferris thought about his options momentarily, his brows furrowed slightly in mock concentration as Vianna explained two different places they could go to and the benefits of each. It only took him a moment to decide, as the latter of just sitting on a bridge or wandering around on it sounded much more relaxing than having to walk through things. "I choose...Ponte Sant'Angelo," he decided, his heavy English accent not allowing him even the slightest bit of accuracy when it came to the pronunciation of this Italian landmark. Knowing he probably messed it up quite well, he gave a bit of a sheepish smile to the woman in his arms before directing his attention to the street in front of him purposefully. But he couldn't keep his eyes away from the steady gaze he knew was on him and in just the next moment he looked over at his wife with a small smile, glancing up at her through his dark eyelashes, an expression that clearly said 'I know, I can't pronounce anything without making it English'.

Vianna tried not to, but she couldn't stop herself from giggling with amusement as Ferris made his decision, his pronunciation as English as ever. She watched as the young man turned his gaze away from her only to return to her a moment later, amusement still sparkling bright in her blue eyes. "You're so cute when you try to say things in Italian, Professor," she informed him, the brightest of smiles adorning her lightly tanned face before she leaned in toward him and pecked his lips gently, lovingly.

Ferris seemed comforted by the way Vianna's blue eyes were sparkling at him, forcing his heart to go all mushy once more as he listened to her explain that he was cute when he tried to say things in Italian. "Oh yeah?" he murmured playfully, pulling her closer with the warmest of smiles as she then leaned in to peck his lips in a way that got his heart to pause for a moment of anticipation. He returned the gesture lovingly, brown eyes fluttering closed for that one moment before opening once more just to sparkle at the girl before him. "Fontana de Trevi," he added playfully, making another mess out of an Italian phrase as he attempted to say it just for the sake of teasing and getting kisses. Letting out a couple chuckles, he allowed them to drift towards the side of the cobblestones to one of the shops, leaning his own back up against the wall near their windows, dimples coming out of hiding as he continued to spurt out Italian phrases, "Piazza..."

Vianna nodded her head as Ferris gave an 'oh yeah?', smiling brightly and with amusement at him, though there was a hint of endearment behind all that amusement. She couldn't help it, though, there was just something about his English accent on Italian words that amused her to no end, that she found to be absolutely adorable, like a child just learning to talk or something of the sort. It was then that Ferris spoke again, mentioning more words in Italian and successfully getting the girl before him to fall into a fit of giggles. "Aw, Professor!" She smiled at him, amusement still in her smile as she leaned in and placed her lips upon his own in a sweet, loving, and slightly playful kiss that lasted a couple moments before she pulled back with a small grin. "You're adorable," she informed the young man.

Ferris couldn't help but let out a few chuckles as Vianna fell into a fit of giggles, admiring the sight of her letting out her melodious laugh with the warmest of smiles on his pale expression, listening as she gave an 'Aw, Professor!'. He beamed as she then leaned down towards him, awarding him with a kiss on the lips that he returned as lovingly as he could for the sweet couple moments it lasted, immediately wishing it had been longer as she pulled back from him. But he wasn't complaining, beaming over at the girl he was holding so closely, listening as she informed him that he was adorable. "You're adorable," he contradicted in a playful grumble, leaning his forehead against her own and pecking her lips lovingly a couple times. He allowed a sweet silence fall between them for a few long moments, during which he merely locked gazes with her nonstop, the connection only breaking when he allowed his brown eyes to flutter close whenever he planted another sweet peck to her lips, loving the feel of her so near to himself. The smile never left his features as he took in the sight of her, letting out a couple chuckles every now and then at how silly they must've looked to other people. "I missed you today," Ferris admitted softly to her with a bit of a warm smile, lopsided as it always seemed to be with him.

Vianna chuckled softly as Ferris contradicted her, explaining that she was the adorable one, something which rather amused the girl, but flattered her at the same time. She returned the peck kisses he would every now and then place on her lips, her blue eyes sparkling as bright as ever, reflecting the joy she felt to just be like this with her husband, to not have a worry in the world and be able to enjoy his company without any sort of stress. As the young man then spoke again, explaining that he had missed her, Vianna smiled warmly, a bit sympathetically. "I missed you too, Professor," she replied. "A lot more than you could imagine," she added with a soft chuckle. "I was so happy when you sent me that note..."

ooc: I gotta go, Ruthers! I should be back in an hour or two, I might be making random appearances between now and then, I dunno... But I'll be back later.

OOC: Ok sounds good Dee!

Ferris listened as Vianna admitted that she'd missed him too, a lot more than he could imagine, informing him of how happy she was when he'd sent her that note. The warmest of smiles spread across his features, his brown eyes lighting up and sparkling as he thought about the smile his wife must've gotten when he sent her that note. "I'm glad you liked it," he murmured sweetly to her, pecking her lips once more for a soft moment, "I couldn't help it," he explained softly, "I was about to take a nap and you weren't around and I missed you a lot. A lot." Ferris flashed her a bit of a grin, knowing that he probably sounded pretty overdramatic, but also knowing that Vianna would never make him feel silly for feeling the way he did. "I don't like being separated from you," the young man admitted with slight playfulness behind his gaze, a bit of a smile on his expression as he placed a warm kiss to her cheek. "But I got the chance to think about you..." he kissed her nose, "And imagine what you were up to..." he kissed her jawline sweetly, "And what it would be like when I finally got you back," he pulled her closer with a flash of his warm smile.

Vianna listened with sparkling blue eyes as Ferris explained to her that he was glad she'd liked the note, that he had been about to take a nap but he'd missed her a lot, that he didn't like being separated from her. At this, the girl smiled warmly, her expression completely endeared, clearly by the young man's words and the sweetness of his confession. She giggled lightly as he kissed her nose before moving on to her jawline, sharing how he got to think what it would be like to be back with her. "Did you imagine it to be as great as it is now or even better?" asked the girl with a smile, pecking his lips gently.
