The garden on the rooftop was coming along nicely. The pix had been looking after it well. Lex sat with the glass in her hand, looking out over the city.
Sipping, she sighed. The whiskey wasn't having its desired effect any more. The world was getting to her. It was changing, changing faster than she could keep up with it. She stood, stiff from a thousand battles in unknown streets.
The familiar weights rested against her back, too often used these days. Her armor had become a second skin. She opened the door and walked down the stairs, swaying slightly as the toxin binders swept the alcohol from her blood stream.
She opened the door to the room she shared with Sansygh. The pix had been in bed for hours at this stage, suffering under oppressive nightmares that she couldn't wake from.
Lex reached down and stroked the purple hair.
"My momma always said that the future was a bright place. It would be a time when we had everything that we need. Everything is always better tomorrow, honey. Gonna be the future soon. Everything is going to be better. We'll fix the world and then get outta this God-forsaken city. Go somewhere nice where you can have a real garden and stars at night. Gonna escape from Arasaka's clutches and get out of this shithole before anyone else can take a whack at us... Everything is going to be okay, Sansygh. I'll make it okay for you. I promise..."
Lex sat on the side of Sansygh's bed, just stroking her hair until dawn broke over the city and the world demanded their presence.
Edwyn's voice was piercing as he tried to free himself from the Shinou. He couldn't take much more of this treatment. It was totally unacceptable. He wouldn't stand for it. Aki couldn't treat him like this and get away with it.
Edwyn rolled over and stole the feather from Aki's hand, distracting him first with a soul-searing kiss. The advantage was now his. He pinned his husband down and started extracting savage revenge on him with the feather.
Aki rolled to get away, kicking and screaming as he attacked Edwyn's grip. It wasn't fair. Edwyn knew his weaknesses. He rolled again, throwing Edwyn off as he fell to the floor. Stepping away from the couch, he stood panting, watching that feral grin on his husbands face as he pushed himself up.
Edwyn launched himself at the Shinou, knocking him to the ground and with him, a table. The lamp went crashing to the ground.
SLAM!
The door burst open. Edwyn and Aki both looked at the now open door and at the shocked faces of two guards, a Maou, Gwendal and Conrad.
"Yes?" Edwyn asked, as if he wasn't trying to hide that he had the Shinou pinned to the floor.
"We heard a crash and we were..."
Yuuri's face was bright red as he looked at the pair on the ground, trying not to notice the signs of arousal.
"... Just going!" Conrad pushes everyone out of the room quickly and closes the door.
"... What do you expect? Married for 13,000 years and apart for most of it... Naturally they have catching up to do."
Gwendals words wafted through the door as it clicked shut.
:: Beloved, you were supposed to close the door. ::
Edwyn chided gently, going straight back to what he had been doing, ravaging his lover.
:: No, beloved... You were supposed to close the door ::
Aki's thoughts were breathless as Edwyn's teeth closed on his ear lobe, his tongue snaking out to flick the sensitive flesh.
They were out, hunting around for clues, literally in one case, leaving the two of them behind. They had pulled that macho man bullshit that annoyed the two women no end. This naturally enough, resulted in the two women sneaking after the men. Possibly not the best idea in the world, if one considered the current situation.
"You know, we're going to have to admit that they were right," Paige said as she sat in the corner of the room. "Never gonna happen!" Elena almost snarled, slightly distracted with her current task.
Elena was digging at the wall beside the door to the cell they were currently trapped in. Her hand a distortion of a claw, long nails transformed and strengthened. Sinews bunched and developed to give her a wider range of options.
"It's their fault we are in here," Elena started. "They should have known us well enough that they would have known that we would sneak out."
Paige was silent as she considered Elena's logic, choosing to accept it without looking for holes in it.
"Well, it is true that we hardly go along with that "Me man! You woman! You do what I say" attitude that they seem to have." Paige offered. "Exactly... So if you look at it that way, they wanted us to get caught. Probably so they could come along and say that they had to rescue us."
Elena grunted the last couple of words as she ripped through the last lock of the door, freeing the catch. The door swung open and Paige cast a concealment spell over the two. Elena purposefully kicked over a bucket that had been in the cell making a loud noise. Shuffling footsteps and angry voices approached the cell. The women hardly dared breathe. Their captors came closer... closer... Until...
Elena pounced, ripping clean through the exposed throat. The man dropped. The women moved on carefully, stepping over the body. They step into the outer room, quietly as possible. The room stinks of garlic, petrol and various acrid liquids. She can barely make out her own scent let alone any others.
Footsteps on the other side of the door. Elena motions to Paige to conceal herself again, as Elena takes position behind the door. The door opens and still noone comes in.
A footstep.
Elena pounces, slamming the door.
OOOF!
Elena throws back the door to reveal...
Clayton holding his nose, bright blood flowing from it.
Elena smiles. "Ooops?"
Clayton turns to Lucas. "Told you they'd be here!"
Lucas reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet, handing over twenty bucks.
Elena looked at Paige and shared a look that just cried out "Men!"
Wolfram sat in the gardens of Blood Pledge Castle on the edge of the fountain, shaded by the trees as the sun dropped below the horizon. He sighed as he flicked a pebble at the water.
"Why so sad, Wolfram?"
Wolfram turned quickly, startled by the voice, almost falling off the fountain's ledge. A hand caught him and pulled him back from his precarious position.
"Thank you, Murata-san! Though I could have caught myself."
The blond's eyes shone with inner fire.
"But the point of friends are that we don't have to."
The boy sat beside Wolfram, picking up a pebble to throw into the water.
"So why such a heavy sigh? Or can I guess? Yuuri is off with Conrad again, isn't he?"
Wolfram blinked and blushed. He didn't like people knowing him well enough to guess what he was thinking... Well except for Yuuri, of course. But Yuuri never guessed.
"I do believe he is."
Wolfram's teeth grated over the words.
"You know..." Murata began. "You don't have to wait for him to love you back, you know."
Wolfram turned to look at Yuuri's friend. The boy was alike in features but different. He was beautiful in his own way. But he would not be like Yuuri. He would be faithful. He would...
His brain stopped as soft lips pressed against his own. A soft, warm, probing tongue requested entry and he parted his lips. A hand wrapped itself in his hair and pulled him closer.
This was what he wanted... This was what he needed. He needed that warmth of someone wanting him, needing him back. This was what he was missing.
Then, all too soon, the kiss broke off and he was left with his eyes closed and his face tilted. A whisper in his ear brought him out of his trance.
"Wolf... I want you but... You have to make the decision. I'll be in my room."
Again, Murata leans in and kisses the blond Mazoku with passion that had been missing from Wolframs life. When Wolfram again opened his eyes, he was watching the retreating form of the Sage.
As twilight gripped the sky, he sat on the edge of the fountain. On one hand the Maou... On the other the Sage. Unrequited vs unexpected love. It was his choice... But which could he choose?
His mind made up, Wolfram stands and brushes off his clothing and leaves the garden. He knows exactly where to find the object of his decision and he walks straight to him, wrapping him in his arms and kissing him right then and there. He finds arms wrapping around himself in return and knows that he made the right choice.
Paige stood in her room, listening to the retreating footsteps in the hallway. Why on earth had she invited him back to her place? Why hadn't she said his place...? His place wasn't the last resting place of a Gomorrah demon. Sure, she'd cleaned up the ick but well... She hadn't cleaned up the associated mess.
Chaos had found a home in her room and was quite happily living in the disorganised mess that was her belongings.
Footsteps were approaching the room again.
"Let the object of objection be but a dream and cause the seen to be unseen!"
The mess disappears instantly as she casts the spell. A silent word of thanks to the powers that be and she opened the door to let tonight's hottie in. He was perfection... Sculpted muscle, just a hint of stubble, big hands...
He opened his arms and started kissing her, holding her close and running those big hands over her body, driving her wild. She turned, twisting him so his back is towards the bed. She pushed him back and he falls, prone on the bed. Paige climbs on and starts kissing him again.
CRASH!
Paige looks up, assuming that it's just Phoebe or Piper outside the room.
CRASH! BANG!
Okay, not her sisters... So what....
THUMP!
Something falls on her, hitting her in the back. She looked up just in time to see the ceiling open over her and the entire mess that had been littering her room fall through.
"Damn personal gain!"
Her date looks mildly confused at the fact that clothes, painting equipment and general girl stuff is falling through the ceiling...
"I can explain" Paige started. "Structural problems. Old houses."
She grabs her date by the hand and drags him out of the room, just in time to save him from the corner of an easel.
She closed the door behind them, leaning against it...
The guards outside the room were leaning against the door listening to the 'conversation' inside. Their eyebrows were raised almost high enough to disappear into their hairline.
"Yes!"
"No! Yozak not there... Wrong hole!"
The guards looked at each other and listened closer. What on earth was happening behind those doors. Well, okay, they could guess and the maids would be delighted at this turn of events. Possibly even pleased enough to agree to a date? Who knew!
"Yes... We're so close now Yozak!"
"Just a little more, Gisela, almost there ... I never thought we'd be doing this."
"I know... Yes... One more..."
"Yes!"
"That's it... Just like that!"
The guards heard footsteps coming down the hallway and went to move away from the door. They stumbled, falling against the door. The door crashed open, leaving them in a crumpled heap on the floor. They slapped their hands over their eyes before they could see anything.
Shocked silence greeted them and the guards braved a peek. Yozak and Gisela stood over them, hands on hips and looking down at them. They were both fully dressed, to the guards surprise.
Yozak bent to help them up. They stood looking around the room and at each other. They had heard ... What?
On the table behind the pair now looking at them with strange expressions sat a picture, made up of many, many pieces.
They had been working on a kid's puzzle?
They guards looked at each other and their jaws dropped. They apologized and excused themselves, blushing furiously.
Guess they would have to find some other scandle if they wanted to collect on that date with the maids...
The mess that is IC! and OOC!Cheri, IC!Dan Hiri, and IC!Raven - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=J0D388TS Lyrics: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/kellyclarkson/thetroublewithloveis.html
He stands in front of the marble dais in the Shrine, a small bundle in his arms. He crooks a finger at the small parcel, pulling the white cloth wrapping it back. Five small, but perfect fingers grasp at his own large finger, wrapping themselves gently around the digit.
He makes cooing noises at the precious gift in his arms, amusing the child with funny noises and silly faces. Grey touched the sides of his hair, dignified but older looking.
The child grabbed a long strand of his hair and pulled. Edwyn laughed and looked up at the flame on the dias.
"Well, beloved... We finally did it. We're grandparents. This fantastically sweet child is our grandson."
Pausing, he cast his mind back over time to the last time he held a child in his arms. It had been after their second son had been born. Aki had looked splendid, glowing after the fact. To be honest, the child had looked exactly like the one he held now.
A pang of sadness captured his heart.
"I wish you could be here to share this, beloved. I had to share it with you."
As a tear rode down his cheek, he felt warmth and love surround him and the child and knew that his beloved was watching from his place beyond the physical realm, stolen from him a few years too early to share fully in this magic moment.
Yozak looked up at the brunette from his seat at the side of the room. The captain was dancing with someone else. Their bodies twirling around each other with such delicate beauty. Long limbs stepping gracefully around each other.
Desire and alcohol moved around his body as he stands, walking over to his commanding officer.
'Now there would be a concept...' Yozak thought to himself. 'I already know that I would go to the ends of the world for him. Anything he asks I would gladly do. But how far could it go?'
Yozak coughs politely and attracts Conrad's attention.
"Mind if I cut in?"
Conrad smiles, his brown eyes glinting. Yozak took the brunette's hand and started moving around the dance floor. His hips were tight against Conrad's as the song tempo changed, fast to slow but steady. Yozak's lips moved to speak the words...
"If we sleep together Will you like me better If we come together We'll go down forever If we sleep together Will I like you better If we come together Prove it now or never"
Conrad stopped moving, looking up at the redhead. His eyes went wide as he heard the words.
"Yozak..."
The rest of the words died on his tongue as Yozak captured his lips with his own. Conrad could barely remember to breathe as his best friend kissed him. Blinking and coming to his senses, he realises what is happening and kisses back, grabbing Yozak's head and holding it there.
Yozak pulls back gasping for breath. It wasn't the reaction he had expected. It was better... much better.
Leaning in, he whispered in Conrad's ear.
"Prove it, now or never!"
Conrad's face flushed as he took Yozak's hand and dragged him from the room. Outside the door, he spun Yozak until his back was against the wall, kissing him deeply.
Tongues fought and fingers intertwined as Edwyn pushed Aki back against the wall. Euphoria swirled over the pair and young emotions fought a losing battle against desire and physical reactions.
Aki moaned as a hand cupped him. Deft fingers moved swiftly to undo annoying laces and push back fabric. A hand pushed the binding material down, freeing his growing member from it's confines. The same hand started manipulating the flesh is a slow steady pace, as if they had all the time in the world.
"Dyn..." Aki breathed, barely making a sound.
His violet pupils dihilated with desire, he looked at his lover. Strong hands and stronger heart, he loved this man in front of him. It had been four days, three hours and sixteen minutes since he had been proposed to and four days, three hours and sixteen minutes since he had accepted. His head was still spinning. Edwyn hadn't given him time to think since then and he was glad.
It had been a blur... His mother had found out and planned this impromptu ball, with noble men and women from across the land. They had been paraded around like puppets for the evening. They had only just managed to escape from the hoard. And now they were here...
A faster pace was set and Aki closed his eyes, enjoying the feelings that he was surrounded by.
Edwyn's hand moved, leaving him wanting. He was prepared to cry out in loss when he realised that he wasn't being kissed anymore. Aki opened his eyes, looking where Edwyn's face had been. There was nothing there. He dropped his gaze until he saw the top of Edwyn's head, his long hair hiding his face from view.
A flash of pink and he was in heaven as a tongue licked at the focus of his attention. Damned if that man hadn't found his weak spot and was teasing it for all he was worth. The tongue flicked over the length and Aki's knees turned to jelly, almost dropping him on top of his lover.
Aki struggled to find balance, reaching out to grab a wall, a door, anything.
CRASH!
Something fell causing a commotion of noise. Edwyn appeared not to notice, content of the task at hand. Aki didn't care at that moment in time. Every drop of attention he had was on that talented mouth and the sensations that it was supplying.
Suddenly... Light!
The door was thrown open and a shriek of disbelief filled his ears.
Sensations stopped and Aki had trouble focusing for a second. He blinked and found himself looking up at his Mother.
"You should be in bed. So should you Edwyn. You know you have many things to take care of tomorrow. We have weddings to plan, society events to attend. It's not every day that one of our family get's engaged..."
His mother was practically dragging him from the cupboard where he had been hiding. He barely had time to retie his trousers. He looked at Edwyn longingly. Edwyn smiled back.
Edwyn leaned in close and whispered one word... "Later!"
Aki smiled. If that was the reward for waiting... He could put up with waiting... But not for too long.
"It was wonderful... And terrible. It was so hot and yet, it was so sweet. But now I can't even look at him. I passed him in the hallway on the way here and all I could think about was "Hello, Dream lover!" Oh, Cheri, what will I do?"
Anissina was whispering in Cheri's ear as they sat in the meeting. Her voice didn't carry any further than the ex-Maou.
"Well, Nisa, you should tell me exactly why you're so flustered... It must have been a wonderful dream."
Cheri settled in closer, her eyes watching for anyone who came too closely.
"Okay then... It all started in the gardens. I was sitting under a tree and he came along and sat beside me. I couldn't really do anything but he grabbed me and kissed me. It was so good that it made my toes curl. He unbuttoned my dress and then started to kiss me, moving down and down, his hands were finding every sensitive spot. His lips and tongue were driving me crazy. I couldn't move, but I didn't want to either. His head dropped between my legs and he licked and he licked and I could help but scream out in pleasure."
Anissina looks around quickly to see where everyone is... She catches the eye of Adelbert, blushes and resumes whispering.
"And then somehow, we were magically transported to a boat and he was in me. It felt so good, Cheri. And he definately knew what to do. It was one constant pleasure. Just riding from one way to the next. He came and I could feel it. Then he moved up to lie beside me, just holding me... It was wonderful. But then the octopus took him..."
Their eyes met across the room and they smiled at each other. It was polite but deep enough for both of them. Günter's eyes flicked across the room to the other Conrad. He was still holding Yozak as they danced. Gunter sighed. The hopes that possibly he could have had a shot at the Captain dashed by the look the pair shared.
Maybe just for tonight, the double would be close enough. He approached, tapping the man on the shoulder. The brown hair turned, meeting his eyes. Polite words, overly so, were exchanged and they moved to the dance floor, close but still a respectable distance apart. Gunter's eyes kept flicking to the other Conrad, the one laughing and smiling with the red haired soldier.
He felt Rad pull back from him slightly, bringing his attention back to his dance partner.
"I'm not him." The words cut him. "I know!" Gunter admitted it. "I'm not him!" The words more adamant now. Gunter looked him in the eye. "I know!" "And I'm not going to try!" Rad spoke the words clearly and precisely.
Gunter's head was spinning. There was an offer inherent in the words, just waiting for the claiming.
"I know!"
Was that all he could say...?
"I could hurt you. I'm not always nice..."
The admission cost him nothing. They would all find that out anyway.
Gunter looked down again, his words mumbled.
"Good!"
Taking his hand, Rad led the older man from the ball room, smiling in victory and planning the evenings entertainment.
The hot sun beat down on the two men as they fell to the sand. Water ran in rivulets from their body, a result of their recent activities in the sea. They felt cool and relaxed as they lay there, panting and laughing.
Yozak rolled over onto his side, propping his head up with a hand. He looked down at his friend. The beautiful face, crowned in brown and highlighted in beautiful hazel brown eyes. He couldn't resist any more. He leaned in and kissed those wonderfully soft lips. A tongue flicked out and licked his own lips, a tongue that was quickly captured and teased. He felt Conrad move beneath him, moving up until he was facing his friend. The kiss became almost like a battle of wills, fighting for dominance.
Conrad moves his hand, capturing the red haired man and pulling him closer. He moved until their bodies were touching, his hand dropping down again between the taller man's legs and massaging gently. Yozak moaned into the embrace, closing his eyes and thrusting his hips against Conrad's palm. His kisses were getting needier, more wanting... Yozak dropped his hand, copying Conrad's actions. He could already feel the throbbing hardness rising up to meet him. Conrad bit at his lip, pulling it gently.
Yozak pushed at the man's wet underwear, exposing him to the world. His hand flying back to the erect member. Conrad moaned and spoke breathless words in Yozak's ear.
"We should stop..."
Yozak growled at the suggestion. There was no one around for miles. No one would disturb them. And apart from all else, he didn't want to lose Conrad's hand, not now, not ever.
"Never..."
Yozak's words were harsh as he dipped his head to lick at the sea-salt flavoured nubs of his friend, his lover.
"But last time you complained about the sand getting into certain places..."
Conrad's hand slowed as he got distracted by the multitalented attack on his sensitive skin. Yozak stopped and looked at Conrad.
"I'll suffer it... "
Without another word, he resumed his attack, driving his Captain closer to completion and insanity.
He stood on the balcony of her room, looking over the garden. Dark shadows crept through the garden as the breeze blew the lanterns. He was back, through whatever means. Shinou knew what brought him back but he was thankful. The world had moved on while he had gone. There were now two Cecelies but his, his was still as beautiful as the day that he had walked out on her. He had tried to capture a wild bird and he could not stay. He would have broken those wings, possibly too badly to ever mend. He regretted it, but at the same time it was necessary. She had Raven now. He always knew that she would fly to him eventually. He could hardly blame her. A fellow Mazoku who wouldn't age and die in a blink of her eye...
Then there was the other Cheri. Broken, battered but still beautiful despite it all. She had her own Raven. Strange how they all end up like that. Fate, Karma, Kismet... Whatever they called it, these days. He had to admit that he wouldn't mind another tumble between those satin thighs but Cheri was happy now, and her boys had grown up to be strong, independent boys. Conrad had grown too. Knowing his own mind and his own body. He had seen the looks between his son and the young boy they had once saved.
As much as he hated to admit, he was a little superfluous. He lifted the bottle in his hand up, wondering whether to take a sip or not... Best not. He always got maudlin when he drank alone. A smile crossed his face. He could always find some company. Hell, those maids looked like they could do with a little cheering up. A plan in his mind and a bottle in his hand, he set off to find some entertainment.
{I do apologize, I don't recognize your name - Oh and I haven't read this series in years so if its out of character I apologize}
"Give me strength!"
The cry was muttered by a rather downcast man. The man in question could be seen balling his fists and looking around for something to hit. The two people outside the tent just smiled at each other.
"So is it your turn or mine?" Kurik said.
Sephrenia smiled. "This may require both of us, I think."
Ever since the Queen had been awoken, she had been playing with Sparhawk, seeing how far she could push him. It was her little game. However, sometimes, she could push just a little too hard. Sure, she had insisted on going on this trip with him. But when it had come to the sleeping arrangements, Sparhawk had balked. A heavy comforter, a soft bed, frilly nightgown... It was all getting to be too much for him. And now a royal order to keep spiders out of the tent...
"Sparhawk!"
His reverie was disturbed by the voice. Turning he looked into the faces of his friends, two of the people who had his trust.
"You know, long ago, I thought about marrying." It was Sephrenia who spoke. "There was a very nice boy in the town I grew up. He used to bring me apples. But they were always red apples. I always took them and smiled and thought 'Why can't he bring me green ones instead? They are so much nicer than the red ones!' But I never said it to him. Because of that, and other secrets like that, we grew apart and then I heard my calling."
Sparhawk looked down at the woman, a little puzzled.
"That's a nice story, Sephrenia, but I'm sure it's lost on me."
"I swear, lad, some days I think you were born with cotton in your ears instead of brains. What the woman is saying is that you need to talk to the girl, tell her how you feel. Remember, lad, any man can be a husband... But it takes a bit more to be a good husband." Kurik smiled. "Now, get in there and tell her before she starts whining to us that you don't love her anymore."
"But that was never in issue, Kurik" Sparhawk looks back toward the tent.
"I know that, lad, and you know that... But tell her Majesty, not us!" Kurik despaired.
Sparhawk nodded and headed back towards the tent.
"I swear, born with cotton instead of brains, that one!" Kurik watched the large man enter the tent, hoping that they'd resolve their differences.
Sephrenia smiles. "Isn't everyone when it comes to love?"
Anissina sits at the table and chair set that she had moved out onto the balcony. The tea in the pot had long gone cold. Sighing, she rose. She had been putting off the inevitable but now it was time.
Walking down the corridor, she arrived at her destination. She knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in!"
The words were muffled by the wood but she still heard them. Twisting the handle, she opened the door and entered the room.
"Anissina-san, I hope you don't mind my presence. I just came to see you off."
Her words were quiet, just about hiding the sadness that she was feeling. The other woman was packing a few things into a duffle bag and looking around to see if there was anything that she forgotten.
"And I have something for you."
Anissina rummaged through her pockets and pulled out a small wrapped parcel. The redhead held it out to the warrior.
"I hope you like it..."
The warrior opened the parcel and found a long length of silk fashioned into a dress, perfectly coloured to compliment her hair and skin and cut to hide the scars that she had picked up in various wars.
"It should fit you perfectly, I... um... modelled it on myself and made some corrections for the differences." Anissina blushed. "Oh and before you say anything. There is a few things that I should point out about the dress before you try it on."
Anissina folded out the dress, laying it on the bed. She pointed to various sections of the dress and to a few hidden secrets. There was a very thin blade hidden in the bodice, designed to sit between the breasts when worn. Secondary blades, equally as thin, were in hidden compartments along the side. There were pockets, designed to hold small items and not stretch the design. Slits up the sides, coupled with a length of fabric running between the legs meant that it could be the perfect fighting garment or simply something to wear to a ball.
Anissina stopped rambling on and stood looking at her double.
"I guess I should go down to the courtyard," The redhaired warrior said, trying to keep composed.
Anissina threw her arms around her double. "I am going to miss you, Anissina-san."
Anissina allowed herself to be hugged and tentatively put an arm around her double. 'What an excitable woman,' she thought.
Without much more, the scientist disengaged from her double and backed away. Nodding her head, she left the room, to join the others in the courtyard. The castle would be a lot quieter without their doubles moving around. However, that was not always a good thing. She would miss her double, and some of the other ones. She reflected back on the past while, ever since they had started arriving. She had found a measure of happiness with one of them and camaraderie with others. It wouldn't be the same without them.
She took a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the tears from her eyes. Fixing the happy, if slightly deranged, look on her face as she stepped onto the courtyard and went to stand by her invention. Soon it would be time to throw the switch and send them all back to their own worlds, whereever they may be. She saw her double join the group, the last one to arrive.
She took a deep breath and told them roughly what she thought they could expect. They nodded and waited. She flicked the switch. A prayer ran through her mind.
"You sure?" He asked, looking deep into her eyes. Her voice was quiet but sure as she spoke, her eyes slightly hooded with desire. "Yes. Gwen, please."
Gwendal dipped the strawberry in chocolate and put it between his teeth. Moving close, he pressed it to Anissina lips. He felt her teeth close around the berry and they both bit in. Juice dripped between their lips and onto their awaiting tongues. Their lips met and the strawberry was forgotten. Their tongues battled for control of the strawberry. Anissina looped hers around the part that Gwendal had bitten off, herding it against his teeth and then flipping it up and onto her tongue before sneaking it into her own mouth. She pulled back, the strawberry stolen.
"That's twice! I win!" Anissina crowed. Gwendal smiles. "Best of five?! It's not fair. You know that I get distracted when you do that."
His cheeks flushed. Anissina looks at him. He's so cute when he looks embarrassed, still childlike, but so mature at the same time. She leans in and kisses him properly. She teases him, biting at his lip as she pulls him down as she lies back on the blanket that they brought with their picnic. Gwendal looks slightly bemused as she finally releases him.
"No strawberry?" "No," she said. "No strawberry this time."
Gwendal's eye twinkled and he leaned in again, claiming her lips. He felt her hand on his, moving it until it was sitting on top of her dress. He squeezed his fingers a little causing her to moan a little. He pulled back a little, looking into her eyes. She smiled up at him, reassuring him. His fingers played with a button, their eyes still locked and she nodded. His fingers fumbled and only after a deep, centring breath did the first button pop. The second and third were simpler. His hand slid in, under the fabric.
Soft flesh met his fingers, warm to touch and covered in tiny bumps. He eased his fingers over until he found what he was looking for. His fingers closed gently around the erect nipple, trapping it slightly. His eyes never left her face. Anissina's eyes closed as a smile spread on her face.
"'ndal!" The moan barely audible over the blood pumping in his ears.
He leaned down and licked her lips, her lips opening and another searing kiss was shared.
"Nisa," Her name from his lips was breathless.
She pulled back for a moment, looking up at him. He looked concerned, starting to remove his hand. Her hand trapped it and she smiled up at him. It took a moment for the words to order themselves in her head but he had guessed what she wanted. This was what she loved about Gwendal.
"You sure?" He asked, looking deep into her eyes. Her voice was quiet but sure as she spoke, her eyes slightly hooded with desire. "Yes. Gwen, please."

Date: 2005-09-27 08:09 am (UTC)Sipping, she sighed. The whiskey wasn't having its desired effect any more. The world was getting to her. It was changing, changing faster than she could keep up with it. She stood, stiff from a thousand battles in unknown streets.
The familiar weights rested against her back, too often used these days. Her armor had become a second skin. She opened the door and walked down the stairs, swaying slightly as the toxin binders swept the alcohol from her blood stream.
She opened the door to the room she shared with Sansygh. The pix had been in bed for hours at this stage, suffering under oppressive nightmares that she couldn't wake from.
Lex reached down and stroked the purple hair.
"My momma always said that the future was a bright place. It would be a time when we had everything that we need. Everything is always better tomorrow, honey. Gonna be the future soon. Everything is going to be better. We'll fix the world and then get outta this God-forsaken city. Go somewhere nice where you can have a real garden and stars at night. Gonna escape from Arasaka's clutches and get out of this shithole before anyone else can take a whack at us... Everything is going to be okay, Sansygh. I'll make it okay for you. I promise..."
Lex sat on the side of Sansygh's bed, just stroking her hair until dawn broke over the city and the world demanded their presence.

Date: 2005-09-27 08:43 am (UTC)Edwyn's voice was piercing as he tried to free himself from the Shinou. He couldn't take much more of this treatment. It was totally unacceptable. He wouldn't stand for it. Aki couldn't treat him like this and get away with it.
Edwyn rolled over and stole the feather from Aki's hand, distracting him first with a soul-searing kiss. The advantage was now his. He pinned his husband down and started extracting savage revenge on him with the feather.
Aki rolled to get away, kicking and screaming as he attacked Edwyn's grip. It wasn't fair. Edwyn knew his weaknesses. He rolled again, throwing Edwyn off as he fell to the floor. Stepping away from the couch, he stood panting, watching that feral grin on his husbands face as he pushed himself up.
Edwyn launched himself at the Shinou, knocking him to the ground and with him, a table. The lamp went crashing to the ground.
SLAM!
The door burst open. Edwyn and Aki both looked at the now open door and at the shocked faces of two guards, a Maou, Gwendal and Conrad.
"Yes?" Edwyn asked, as if he wasn't trying to hide that he had the Shinou pinned to the floor.
"We heard a crash and we were..."
Yuuri's face was bright red as he looked at the pair on the ground, trying not to notice the signs of arousal.
"... Just going!" Conrad pushes everyone out of the room quickly and closes the door.
"... What do you expect? Married for 13,000 years and apart for most of it... Naturally they have catching up to do."
Gwendals words wafted through the door as it clicked shut.
:: Beloved, you were supposed to close the door. ::
Edwyn chided gently, going straight back to what he had been doing, ravaging his lover.
:: No, beloved... You were supposed to close the door ::
Aki's thoughts were breathless as Edwyn's teeth closed on his ear lobe, his tongue snaking out to flick the sensitive flesh.
:: Whoops... Can't think of everying, I guess ::
Aki laughed.
:: But beloved... You are the Great Sage... ::

From:Elena / Paige: "Men!"
Date: 2005-09-29 04:58 am (UTC)"You know, we're going to have to admit that they were right," Paige said as she sat in the corner of the room.
"Never gonna happen!" Elena almost snarled, slightly distracted with her current task.
Elena was digging at the wall beside the door to the cell they were currently trapped in. Her hand a distortion of a claw, long nails transformed and strengthened. Sinews bunched and developed to give her a wider range of options.
"It's their fault we are in here," Elena started. "They should have known us well enough that they would have known that we would sneak out."
Paige was silent as she considered Elena's logic, choosing to accept it without looking for holes in it.
"Well, it is true that we hardly go along with that "Me man! You woman! You do what I say" attitude that they seem to have." Paige offered.
"Exactly... So if you look at it that way, they wanted us to get caught. Probably so they could come along and say that they had to rescue us."
Elena grunted the last couple of words as she ripped through the last lock of the door, freeing the catch. The door swung open and Paige cast a concealment spell over the two. Elena purposefully kicked over a bucket that had been in the cell making a loud noise. Shuffling footsteps and angry voices approached the cell. The women hardly dared breathe. Their captors came closer... closer... Until...
Elena pounced, ripping clean through the exposed throat. The man dropped. The women moved on carefully, stepping over the body. They step into the outer room, quietly as possible. The room stinks of garlic, petrol and various acrid liquids. She can barely make out her own scent let alone any others.
Footsteps on the other side of the door. Elena motions to Paige to conceal herself again, as Elena takes position behind the door. The door opens and still noone comes in.
A footstep.
Elena pounces, slamming the door.
OOOF!
Elena throws back the door to reveal...
Clayton holding his nose, bright blood flowing from it.
Elena smiles. "Ooops?"
Clayton turns to Lucas. "Told you they'd be here!"
Lucas reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet, handing over twenty bucks.
Elena looked at Paige and shared a look that just cried out "Men!"

Enjoy!
no subject
Date: 2005-09-27 07:51 am (UTC)"Why so sad, Wolfram?"
Wolfram turned quickly, startled by the voice, almost falling off the fountain's ledge. A hand caught him and pulled him back from his precarious position.
"Thank you, Murata-san! Though I could have caught myself."
The blond's eyes shone with inner fire.
"But the point of friends are that we don't have to."
The boy sat beside Wolfram, picking up a pebble to throw into the water.
"So why such a heavy sigh? Or can I guess? Yuuri is off with Conrad again, isn't he?"
Wolfram blinked and blushed. He didn't like people knowing him well enough to guess what he was thinking... Well except for Yuuri, of course. But Yuuri never guessed.
"I do believe he is."
Wolfram's teeth grated over the words.
"You know..." Murata began. "You don't have to wait for him to love you back, you know."
Wolfram turned to look at Yuuri's friend. The boy was alike in features but different. He was beautiful in his own way. But he would not be like Yuuri. He would be faithful. He would...
His brain stopped as soft lips pressed against his own. A soft, warm, probing tongue requested entry and he parted his lips. A hand wrapped itself in his hair and pulled him closer.
This was what he wanted... This was what he needed. He needed that warmth of someone wanting him, needing him back. This was what he was missing.
Then, all too soon, the kiss broke off and he was left with his eyes closed and his face tilted. A whisper in his ear brought him out of his trance.
"Wolf... I want you but... You have to make the decision. I'll be in my room."
Again, Murata leans in and kisses the blond Mazoku with passion that had been missing from Wolframs life. When Wolfram again opened his eyes, he was watching the retreating form of the Sage.
As twilight gripped the sky, he sat on the edge of the fountain. On one hand the Maou... On the other the Sage. Unrequited vs unexpected love. It was his choice... But which could he choose?
His mind made up, Wolfram stands and brushes off his clothing and leaves the garden. He knows exactly where to find the object of his decision and he walks straight to him, wrapping him in his arms and kissing him right then and there. He finds arms wrapping around himself in return and knows that he made the right choice.

Date: 2005-09-27 08:22 am (UTC)Chaos had found a home in her room and was quite happily living in the disorganised mess that was her belongings.
Footsteps were approaching the room again.
"Let the object of objection be but a dream and cause the seen to be unseen!"
The mess disappears instantly as she casts the spell. A silent word of thanks to the powers that be and she opened the door to let tonight's hottie in. He was perfection... Sculpted muscle, just a hint of stubble, big hands...
He opened his arms and started kissing her, holding her close and running those big hands over her body, driving her wild. She turned, twisting him so his back is towards the bed. She pushed him back and he falls, prone on the bed. Paige climbs on and starts kissing him again.
CRASH!
Paige looks up, assuming that it's just Phoebe or Piper outside the room.
CRASH! BANG!
Okay, not her sisters... So what....
THUMP!
Something falls on her, hitting her in the back. She looked up just in time to see the ceiling open over her and the entire mess that had been littering her room fall through.
"Damn personal gain!"
Her date looks mildly confused at the fact that clothes, painting equipment and general girl stuff is falling through the ceiling...
"I can explain" Paige started. "Structural problems. Old houses."
She grabs her date by the hand and drags him out of the room, just in time to save him from the corner of an easel.
She closed the door behind them, leaning against it...
"So, your place?" She asks hopefully.

"Yes!"
"Right there!"
The guards outside the room were leaning against the door listening to the 'conversation' inside. Their eyebrows were raised almost high enough to disappear into their hairline.
"Yes!"
"No! Yozak not there... Wrong hole!"
The guards looked at each other and listened closer. What on earth was happening behind those doors. Well, okay, they could guess and the maids would be delighted at this turn of events. Possibly even pleased enough to agree to a date? Who knew!
"Yes... We're so close now Yozak!"
"Just a little more, Gisela, almost there ... I never thought we'd be doing this."
"I know... Yes... One more..."
"Yes!"
"That's it... Just like that!"
The guards heard footsteps coming down the hallway and went to move away from the door. They stumbled, falling against the door. The door crashed open, leaving them in a crumpled heap on the floor. They slapped their hands over their eyes before they could see anything.
Shocked silence greeted them and the guards braved a peek. Yozak and Gisela stood over them, hands on hips and looking down at them. They were both fully dressed, to the guards surprise.
Yozak bent to help them up. They stood looking around the room and at each other. They had heard ... What?
On the table behind the pair now looking at them with strange expressions sat a picture, made up of many, many pieces.
They had been working on a kid's puzzle?
They guards looked at each other and their jaws dropped. They apologized and excused themselves, blushing furiously.
Guess they would have to find some other scandle if they wanted to collect on that date with the maids...

Edwyn/Aki - Grandchildren
Date: 2005-09-27 04:21 pm (UTC)He makes cooing noises at the precious gift in his arms, amusing the child with funny noises and silly faces. Grey touched the sides of his hair, dignified but older looking.
The child grabbed a long strand of his hair and pulled. Edwyn laughed and looked up at the flame on the dias.
"Well, beloved... We finally did it. We're grandparents. This fantastically sweet child is our grandson."
Pausing, he cast his mind back over time to the last time he held a child in his arms. It had been after their second son had been born. Aki had looked splendid, glowing after the fact. To be honest, the child had looked exactly like the one he held now.
A pang of sadness captured his heart.
"I wish you could be here to share this, beloved. I had to share it with you."
As a tear rode down his cheek, he felt warmth and love surround him and the child and knew that his beloved was watching from his place beyond the physical realm, stolen from him a few years too early to share fully in this magic moment.
Yozak Conrad - Sleep Together
Date: 2005-09-27 04:59 pm (UTC)Desire and alcohol moved around his body as he stands, walking over to his commanding officer.
'Now there would be a concept...' Yozak thought to himself. 'I already know that I would go to the ends of the world for him. Anything he asks I would gladly do. But how far could it go?'
Yozak coughs politely and attracts Conrad's attention.
"Mind if I cut in?"
Conrad smiles, his brown eyes glinting. Yozak took the brunette's hand and started moving around the dance floor. His hips were tight against Conrad's as the song tempo changed, fast to slow but steady. Yozak's lips moved to speak the words...
"If we sleep together
Will you like me better
If we come together
We'll go down forever
If we sleep together
Will I like you better
If we come together
Prove it now or never"
Conrad stopped moving, looking up at the redhead. His eyes went wide as he heard the words.
"Yozak..."
The rest of the words died on his tongue as Yozak captured his lips with his own. Conrad could barely remember to breathe as his best friend kissed him. Blinking and coming to his senses, he realises what is happening and kisses back, grabbing Yozak's head and holding it there.
Yozak pulls back gasping for breath. It wasn't the reaction he had expected. It was better... much better.
Leaning in, he whispered in Conrad's ear.
"Prove it, now or never!"
Conrad's face flushed as he took Yozak's hand and dragged him from the room. Outside the door, he spun Yozak until his back was against the wall, kissing him deeply.
"Now!"
Conrad breathed the words.
"I choose now!"
Edwyn/Aki - After the ball
Date: 2005-09-28 10:44 am (UTC)Edwyn giggled. Aki smiled, sneaking a kiss from his fiancé. Edwyn looked shocked. Well, it lasted for about two seconds before he returned the favour with vigour.
Tongues fought and fingers intertwined as Edwyn pushed Aki back against the wall. Euphoria swirled over the pair and young emotions fought a losing battle against desire and physical reactions.
Aki moaned as a hand cupped him. Deft fingers moved swiftly to undo annoying laces and push back fabric. A hand pushed the binding material down, freeing his growing member from it's confines. The same hand started manipulating the flesh is a slow steady pace, as if they had all the time in the world.
"Dyn..." Aki breathed, barely making a sound.
His violet pupils dihilated with desire, he looked at his lover. Strong hands and stronger heart, he loved this man in front of him. It had been four days, three hours and sixteen minutes since he had been proposed to and four days, three hours and sixteen minutes since he had accepted. His head was still spinning. Edwyn hadn't given him time to think since then and he was glad.
It had been a blur... His mother had found out and planned this impromptu ball, with noble men and women from across the land. They had been paraded around like puppets for the evening. They had only just managed to escape from the hoard. And now they were here...
A faster pace was set and Aki closed his eyes, enjoying the feelings that he was surrounded by.
Edwyn's hand moved, leaving him wanting. He was prepared to cry out in loss when he realised that he wasn't being kissed anymore. Aki opened his eyes, looking where Edwyn's face had been. There was nothing there. He dropped his gaze until he saw the top of Edwyn's head, his long hair hiding his face from view.
A flash of pink and he was in heaven as a tongue licked at the focus of his attention. Damned if that man hadn't found his weak spot and was teasing it for all he was worth. The tongue flicked over the length and Aki's knees turned to jelly, almost dropping him on top of his lover.
Aki struggled to find balance, reaching out to grab a wall, a door, anything.
CRASH!
Something fell causing a commotion of noise. Edwyn appeared not to notice, content of the task at hand. Aki didn't care at that moment in time. Every drop of attention he had was on that talented mouth and the sensations that it was supplying.
Suddenly... Light!
The door was thrown open and a shriek of disbelief filled his ears.
Sensations stopped and Aki had trouble focusing for a second. He blinked and found himself looking up at his Mother.
"Alarik, what do you think you are doing...?"
Aki couldn't even start to think of words to excuse the position that he had been caught in. Furthermore he didn't want to. If he was old enough to be engaged, he was old enough to do what he wanted with his fiancé.
"You should be in bed. So should you Edwyn. You know you have many things to take care of tomorrow. We have weddings to plan, society events to attend. It's not every day that one of our family get's engaged..."
His mother was practically dragging him from the cupboard where he had been hiding. He barely had time to retie his trousers. He looked at Edwyn longingly. Edwyn smiled back.
Edwyn leaned in close and whispered one word... "Later!"
Aki smiled. If that was the reward for waiting... He could put up with waiting... But not for too long.

Date: 2005-09-29 04:01 am (UTC)Anissina was whispering in Cheri's ear as they sat in the meeting. Her voice didn't carry any further than the ex-Maou.
"Well, Nisa, you should tell me exactly why you're so flustered... It must have been a wonderful dream."
Cheri settled in closer, her eyes watching for anyone who came too closely.
"Okay then... It all started in the gardens. I was sitting under a tree and he came along and sat beside me. I couldn't really do anything but he grabbed me and kissed me. It was so good that it made my toes curl. He unbuttoned my dress and then started to kiss me, moving down and down, his hands were finding every sensitive spot. His lips and tongue were driving me crazy. I couldn't move, but I didn't want to either. His head dropped between my legs and he licked and he licked and I could help but scream out in pleasure."
Anissina looks around quickly to see where everyone is... She catches the eye of Adelbert, blushes and resumes whispering.
"And then somehow, we were magically transported to a boat and he was in me. It felt so good, Cheri. And he definately knew what to do. It was one constant pleasure. Just riding from one way to the next. He came and I could feel it. Then he moved up to lie beside me, just holding me... It was wonderful. But then the octopus took him..."

From:Gun/Rad - A Shared Dance
Date: 2005-09-29 11:38 am (UTC)Maybe just for tonight, the double would be close enough. He approached, tapping the man on the shoulder. The brown hair turned, meeting his eyes. Polite words, overly so, were exchanged and they moved to the dance floor, close but still a respectable distance apart. Gunter's eyes kept flicking to the other Conrad, the one laughing and smiling with the red haired soldier.
He felt Rad pull back from him slightly, bringing his attention back to his dance partner.
"I'm not him." The words cut him.
"I know!" Gunter admitted it.
"I'm not him!" The words more adamant now.
Gunter looked him in the eye. "I know!"
"And I'm not going to try!" Rad spoke the words clearly and precisely.
Gunter's head was spinning. There was an offer inherent in the words, just waiting for the claiming.
"I know!"
Was that all he could say...?
"I could hurt you. I'm not always nice..."
The admission cost him nothing. They would all find that out anyway.
Gunter looked down again, his words mumbled.
"Good!"
Taking his hand, Rad led the older man from the ball room, smiling in victory and planning the evenings entertainment.
Con/Yoz - On The Beach
Date: 2005-09-29 11:40 am (UTC)Yozak rolled over onto his side, propping his head up with a hand. He looked down at his friend. The beautiful face, crowned in brown and highlighted in beautiful hazel brown eyes. He couldn't resist any more. He leaned in and kissed those wonderfully soft lips. A tongue flicked out and licked his own lips, a tongue that was quickly captured and teased. He felt Conrad move beneath him, moving up until he was facing his friend. The kiss became almost like a battle of wills, fighting for dominance.
Conrad moves his hand, capturing the red haired man and pulling him closer. He moved until their bodies were touching, his hand dropping down again between the taller man's legs and massaging gently. Yozak moaned into the embrace, closing his eyes and thrusting his hips against Conrad's palm. His kisses were getting needier, more wanting... Yozak dropped his hand, copying Conrad's actions. He could already feel the throbbing hardness rising up to meet him. Conrad bit at his lip, pulling it gently.
Yozak pushed at the man's wet underwear, exposing him to the world. His hand flying back to the erect member. Conrad moaned and spoke breathless words in Yozak's ear.
"We should stop..."
Yozak growled at the suggestion. There was no one around for miles. No one would disturb them. And apart from all else, he didn't want to lose Conrad's hand, not now, not ever.
"Never..."
Yozak's words were harsh as he dipped his head to lick at the sea-salt flavoured nubs of his friend, his lover.
"But last time you complained about the sand getting into certain places..."
Conrad's hand slowed as he got distracted by the multitalented attack on his sensitive skin. Yozak stopped and looked at Conrad.
"I'll suffer it... "
Without another word, he resumed his attack, driving his Captain closer to completion and insanity.
Cheri, Cheri, Dan Hiri, Raven - Reflections
Date: 2005-09-29 11:41 am (UTC)Then there was the other Cheri. Broken, battered but still beautiful despite it all. She had her own Raven. Strange how they all end up like that. Fate, Karma, Kismet... Whatever they called it, these days. He had to admit that he wouldn't mind another tumble between those satin thighs but Cheri was happy now, and her boys had grown up to be strong, independent boys. Conrad had grown too. Knowing his own mind and his own body. He had seen the looks between his son and the young boy they had once saved.
As much as he hated to admit, he was a little superfluous. He lifted the bottle in his hand up, wondering whether to take a sip or not... Best not. He always got maudlin when he drank alone. A smile crossed his face. He could always find some company. Hell, those maids looked like they could do with a little cheering up. A plan in his mind and a bottle in his hand, he set off to find some entertainment.

(Elenium by David Eddings)

Date: 2005-09-29 11:48 am (UTC)"Give me strength!"
The cry was muttered by a rather downcast man. The man in question could be seen balling his fists and looking around for something to hit. The two people outside the tent just smiled at each other.
"So is it your turn or mine?" Kurik said.
Sephrenia smiled. "This may require both of us, I think."
Ever since the Queen had been awoken, she had been playing with Sparhawk, seeing how far she could push him. It was her little game. However, sometimes, she could push just a little too hard. Sure, she had insisted on going on this trip with him. But when it had come to the sleeping arrangements, Sparhawk had balked. A heavy comforter, a soft bed, frilly nightgown... It was all getting to be too much for him. And now a royal order to keep spiders out of the tent...
"Sparhawk!"
His reverie was disturbed by the voice. Turning he looked into the faces of his friends, two of the people who had his trust.
"You know, long ago, I thought about marrying." It was Sephrenia who spoke. "There was a very nice boy in the town I grew up. He used to bring me apples. But they were always red apples. I always took them and smiled and thought 'Why can't he bring me green ones instead? They are so much nicer than the red ones!' But I never said it to him. Because of that, and other secrets like that, we grew apart and then I heard my calling."
Sparhawk looked down at the woman, a little puzzled.
"That's a nice story, Sephrenia, but I'm sure it's lost on me."
"I swear, lad, some days I think you were born with cotton in your ears instead of brains. What the woman is saying is that you need to talk to the girl, tell her how you feel. Remember, lad, any man can be a husband... But it takes a bit more to be a good husband." Kurik smiled. "Now, get in there and tell her before she starts whining to us that you don't love her anymore."
"But that was never in issue, Kurik" Sparhawk looks back toward the tent.
"I know that, lad, and you know that... But tell her Majesty, not us!" Kurik despaired.
Sparhawk nodded and headed back towards the tent.
"I swear, born with cotton instead of brains, that one!" Kurik watched the large man enter the tent, hoping that they'd resolve their differences.
Sephrenia smiles. "Isn't everyone when it comes to love?"

IC!Anissina - Final Parting
Date: 2005-09-29 03:11 am (UTC)Walking down the corridor, she arrived at her destination. She knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in!"
The words were muffled by the wood but she still heard them. Twisting the handle, she opened the door and entered the room.
"Anissina-san, I hope you don't mind my presence. I just came to see you off."
Her words were quiet, just about hiding the sadness that she was feeling. The other woman was packing a few things into a duffle bag and looking around to see if there was anything that she forgotten.
"And I have something for you."
Anissina rummaged through her pockets and pulled out a small wrapped parcel. The redhead held it out to the warrior.
"I hope you like it..."
The warrior opened the parcel and found a long length of silk fashioned into a dress, perfectly coloured to compliment her hair and skin and cut to hide the scars that she had picked up in various wars.
"It should fit you perfectly, I... um... modelled it on myself and made some corrections for the differences." Anissina blushed. "Oh and before you say anything. There is a few things that I should point out about the dress before you try it on."
Anissina folded out the dress, laying it on the bed. She pointed to various sections of the dress and to a few hidden secrets. There was a very thin blade hidden in the bodice, designed to sit between the breasts when worn. Secondary blades, equally as thin, were in hidden compartments along the side. There were pockets, designed to hold small items and not stretch the design. Slits up the sides, coupled with a length of fabric running between the legs meant that it could be the perfect fighting garment or simply something to wear to a ball.
Anissina stopped rambling on and stood looking at her double.
"I guess I should go down to the courtyard," The redhaired warrior said, trying to keep composed.
Anissina threw her arms around her double. "I am going to miss you, Anissina-san."
Anissina allowed herself to be hugged and tentatively put an arm around her double. 'What an excitable woman,' she thought.
Without much more, the scientist disengaged from her double and backed away. Nodding her head, she left the room, to join the others in the courtyard. The castle would be a lot quieter without their doubles moving around. However, that was not always a good thing. She would miss her double, and some of the other ones. She reflected back on the past while, ever since they had started arriving. She had found a measure of happiness with one of them and camaraderie with others. It wouldn't be the same without them.
She took a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the tears from her eyes. Fixing the happy, if slightly deranged, look on her face as she stepped onto the courtyard and went to stand by her invention. Soon it would be time to throw the switch and send them all back to their own worlds, whereever they may be. She saw her double join the group, the last one to arrive.
She took a deep breath and told them roughly what she thought they could expect. They nodded and waited. She flicked the switch. A prayer ran through her mind.
"Oh Shinou... Please don't let this work..."

Ani/Gwen - Love
Date: 2005-09-29 11:54 am (UTC)Her voice was quiet but sure as she spoke, her eyes slightly hooded with desire. "Yes. Gwen, please."
Gwendal dipped the strawberry in chocolate and put it between his teeth. Moving close, he pressed it to Anissina lips. He felt her teeth close around the berry and they both bit in. Juice dripped between their lips and onto their awaiting tongues. Their lips met and the strawberry was forgotten. Their tongues battled for control of the strawberry. Anissina looped hers around the part that Gwendal had bitten off, herding it against his teeth and then flipping it up and onto her tongue before sneaking it into her own mouth. She pulled back, the strawberry stolen.
"That's twice! I win!" Anissina crowed.
Gwendal smiles. "Best of five?! It's not fair. You know that I get distracted when you do that."
His cheeks flushed. Anissina looks at him. He's so cute when he looks embarrassed, still childlike, but so mature at the same time. She leans in and kisses him properly. She teases him, biting at his lip as she pulls him down as she lies back on the blanket that they brought with their picnic. Gwendal looks slightly bemused as she finally releases him.
"No strawberry?"
"No," she said. "No strawberry this time."
Gwendal's eye twinkled and he leaned in again, claiming her lips. He felt her hand on his, moving it until it was sitting on top of her dress. He squeezed his fingers a little causing her to moan a little. He pulled back a little, looking into her eyes. She smiled up at him, reassuring him. His fingers played with a button, their eyes still locked and she nodded. His fingers fumbled and only after a deep, centring breath did the first button pop. The second and third were simpler. His hand slid in, under the fabric.
Soft flesh met his fingers, warm to touch and covered in tiny bumps. He eased his fingers over until he found what he was looking for. His fingers closed gently around the erect nipple, trapping it slightly. His eyes never left her face. Anissina's eyes closed as a smile spread on her face.
"'ndal!" The moan barely audible over the blood pumping in his ears.
He leaned down and licked her lips, her lips opening and another searing kiss was shared.
"Nisa," Her name from his lips was breathless.
She pulled back for a moment, looking up at him. He looked concerned, starting to remove his hand. Her hand trapped it and she smiled up at him. It took a moment for the words to order themselves in her head but he had guessed what she wanted. This was what she loved about Gwendal.
"You sure?" He asked, looking deep into her eyes.
Her voice was quiet but sure as she spoke, her eyes slightly hooded with desire. "Yes. Gwen, please."
