Oh wow - very interesting! So instead of them just getting together, Riptide insists on a lot of proper romance first. In a lot of my fics, I've portrayed it where they meet, lust, get it on, and then something more develops. Except Priceless, (http://stormkpr.livejournal.com/376225.html) where you could say they had something of a courtship.

Love the idea of Riptide being assertive here and Azazel learns how to court, maybe is surprised that he doesn't just get what he wants right away. I like it.
