Rating: PG-13 at the most

Daisy had been spending more time on her own for the past few days. Mostly because of the mixed signals being sent between the two of them. It was either stop or go and she was used to a complete green light when it came to intimacy between the two of them. Put it simply, she just didn't know where they stood and to be honest, it was causing her a bit of stress. Daisy couldn't begin to understand what he'd been through during his long stay here at the castle, but she was fresh from their world where they were just coming out of their on-again-off-again stage.

Glancing at him anxiously, she shuts the door to his room behind her and leans against it. Taking a deep breath, she brings her hands up to signal she wants his complete attention. "Lance, don't you love me anymore?" Blunt and to the point as always.

This ... was not what Sweets was expecting when he started his day.

It wasn't that he didn't still love Daisy. He did. He just didn't know how things were supposed to progress between them from here. There was a lot of time to make up for, and more to the point, he didn't know how to say it. He was working on figuring that out, but he also thought he had time before it would come up between them.

He should have known Daisy better than that.

He looked up at her, and gave her a small smile, trying not to get on the defensive too quickly. "Of course I do."

Daisy barely gives him a chance to react before launching straight into what seems to be a fairly passionate speech, "Then why is everything stop and go between us when we both know that we function better as a couple? We're intellectual equals, we have in-depth conversations together and we both have extremely healthy sexual appetites." Of course Daisy would go there. Don't try to butt in, she's not done yet and she holds up a hand to keep him from talking.

"I know you've been here for a very long time and my heart aches for you, Lancelot. I can't....try to understand all that you've been through here, but I love you and I just....feel that I need to know where we stand."

Sweets held up his hand as he listened to her ramble, and he knew she had a point. He was just so used to being without her that he wasn't sure where they stood himself.

"I understand that. And I love you too. But ... it's been almost three years for me, Daisy. And ... I don't think I can just jump back in to where we were."

He might as well have shot Daisy's puppy right in front of her, judging from the hurt look on her face. With a resigned sigh, she settles in next to him, her shoulder brushing his.

"Is there even a chance, Lancelot? I mean...you still like to be around me, right?"

That was not the reaction that he was intending to get. In fact, it was the last kind of reaction that he wanted, but at least she wasn't taking it too terribly.

"There is always a chance," he replies with a small smile. "I just need to take things slow. Remember how we were."

Daisy doesn't know how to take this. It's not full out rejection, but it's not what she'd hoped for either. She glances away from him and towards the floor, folding her hands over her lap. "We can take things slow, I guess."

He frowned as well. He doesn't like seeing her disappointed, but he didn't know what else to tell her. It didn't help that back home he didn't know where they stood either.

"I'm sorry, Daisy."

Daisy tended to rush into things before fully analyzing the situation at hand. It was one of her faults. "It's okay, really." But it didn't seem like she was completely alright with this. Still, it's not like she wanted to force him into anything he couldn't fully reciprocate.

"We'll just....build up our relationship again." For the third time. Admittedly, she'd torn everything apart when she'd left with Brennan, but she had missed him so much.

"Not build up, just ... ease in." There really wasn't much to build. It was there, Sweets could feel it, but he needed to remember how they were again, and that was something only time could give.

"I think I can deal with that." Daisy manages a small, almost shy smile. She obviously understood the difference between easing back into a relationship and building one back up. "You're still my Lancelot, no matter what." She leans over to kiss him. Just a small peck on the lips.

He grins at the kiss, leaning in to meet her, just for that moment. It's just as he remembers it. He holds, letting himself sink into it, before pulling back.

"I really did miss you."

Daisy has her patented smile back when he pulls away from the kiss, taking his hand in hers. He wasn't the only one who could get lost in their kisses. "I'm glad. If I'd known you were gone, I would have miss you too, Lancelot."

"I know you would have," he sighed, before inching closer and settling in next to her. "Are we okay?"
