Boxes of Blood (Isaac/open)

[malfoy]

Isaac gently played with Gabriella's hair, it was so soft, it was a comforting texture to his cold, stone-like fingers. It was unbelievable how much he loved her. Before they had started going out, Isaac had been like his dad, a bit unfaithful and the kind of guy that would walk into a room with a pretty girl on each arm. Now, he only had eyes for Gabriella.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella smiled softly as she felt Isaac's fingers playing with her long brown hair. Even if she wasn't a Metamorphagus, her hair would still be this long, if not longer. Still, a lot of her fellow classmates thought she had just made it that long.

[malfoy]

Isaac leaned down a bit, so that he was resting his chin on Gabriella's shoulder, still gently playing with her brunette tresses. He stared out into the lake unblinkingly, breathing in Gabriella's unique scent. She smelled like something that he had never smelled before. He looked back to his lover. "Love you," Isaac whispered.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella turned her head so she was looking back at him. "I think you already said that one," Gabriella replied teasingly. "But nevermind that, I love you too." Gabriella realized that the words were big and she had never really said them to anyone else but Isaac.

[malfoy]

Isaac smiled then kissed Gabriella on top of her head. His mind wandered to what he would do after school. More importantly, their wedding. That was, if Gabriella said yes. Hopefully she would. "Gabriella, regardless of what happens, when we're really old, we should come back here, and sit on this very rock." said Isaac.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella tried to picture two old people sitting on this rock, but found that she couldn't. Perhaps it was the fact that they, as vampires, wouldn't age like normal people. According to her books, they would never really look much older than they did now. "Alright, as long as we're still living, I'll come and sit on this rock with you again," Gabriella replied.

[malfoy]

Isaac grinned. He wanted to ask that burning question right then and there, but he knew that he would have to wait, He wondered how many people knew that he was going to propose to Gabriella, Luke probably knew for sure, but he hadn't said anything about it. Thankfully.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella briefly wondered why it was so important to Isaac, but she blew the thought away quickly, her thoughts sliding toward the future once more. "Where do you think we'll be in ten years?" Gabriella asked softly as she scanned the surface of the lake trying to find a ripple or a splash.

[malfoy]

The question took Isaac off guard a bit. His vision of himself in ten years was walking hand-in-hand with Gabriella on a quaint little street with a kid or two. He loved kids. But that image wasn't final. "I don't really know, but I hope wherever we are that we're together." said Isaac.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella smiled. She had a very similar vision of herself, she hadn't gone as far as envisioning a kid walking with them. "So do I," Gabriella replied truthfully, her tone soft and calm, but inside she was glowing with happiness.

[malfoy]

"Just for laughs, what about fifty years, if we aged properly, that is." said Isaac, unable to stop smiling. If they weren't vampires, he would have said really old and shriveled up, sitting in a porch swing. He would be reading the paper, glasses on the end of his nose. And Gabriella was knitting, or cross-stitching, some old-lady thing. Isaac snapped out of his mental image, holding back a laugh.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella smiled a bit at this. She knew that vampires didn't age like humans did, but what the books didn't specify was exactly how slow they aged. She wondered what they would look like in fifty years. "I bet we'll still be running around crazily," Gabriella said with a wide grin.

[malfoy]

"That sounds like fun, let's plan on that, shall we?" said Isaac. It would be great to be in your sixties and still be able to run around like a teenager and look like you were in your twenties or something. That was interesting to think about.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella laughed again, the pretty voice filling the air. "Yes, we'll definitely plan on that one, won't we?" she replied with a sly grin. Poor mortals, they had no fun once they had aged. Perhaps there were more upsides to being a vampire than Gabriella had originally thought.

[malfoy]

Isaac felt restless sitting on the rock, not doing anything. Time seemed to be moving abnormally slow, even by his standards. Maybe because he was being still and there was nothing to do. Perhaps they should go swimming. But knowing Gabriella, she was too modest to go in her underwear. Isaac just went swimming in his boxers. "Imagine that, we could be grandparents and have the energy levels of teenagers." Isaac said with a smirk.
