For the People. I play away my heart. (Viper, open)

[Ginchoeri]

Day of the 43rd of Fall 512 AV continued When he pulled her in closer, her breathing hitched, her mind seemed to go blank and he kissed her with that same wild hunger she had just given him. So she kissed back, in the exact same way. Her body seemed to scream out in joy, her uninjured hand, snaking up and wrapping its self into his hair. She only pulled a little, not intent on giving him pain. Just her way of showing him she still was able to think. Able to control her actions even if it was just a bit. When she broke the kiss off again, her breathing came even harsher then before. Her body was shaking in his arms as she rested her forehead on his. The look in her eyes was a mixture of lust and fear. Lust so deep for him she did not know how she lived without him before. But the fear of how fast this was going was biting at her ankles. She was confusing herself, not sure if she wanted to go on or not. She pulled away a bit and looked away blushing, her breath still deep and wild. She unlatched her hand from his hair and stepped back only to be stopped by him. She looked at him, letting him see her confusion, letting him read every thought going through her mind, if he could. To let him know that it was not that she did not want this, it was that this, was maybe just a little to fast. She breathed and gave him a small smile. Trying to make him understand without saying it.

[Viper]

His heart was racing. His breathing intense as she pulled away for the second time and rested her forhead on his. He could see the hunger in her eyes as well, but also the apprehension. Thinking about it, she had every right to be concerned. They had really just made known their feelings for eachother earlier that morning. This was probably going way to fast. Still he let out the slightest of sighs in disappointment. What guy wouldn't be disappointed, he mused.

It was quickly followed up though with a warm caring smile in response to hers as she pulled away even further. He nodded his head lightly, releasing her hand and leaning down to pick up his second sword. He could wait for her. He didn't want to do anything that would make her feel uncomfortable after all. But it would take a liar to say he was completely fine with it. Sheathing his swords back in their place, a playful grin replaced his smile as he took a deep breath, attempting to calm himself.

"Well...I guess it's about time we started heading back eh?" He looked up toward the sky and saw that the sun was beginning to yield it's position in the sky to the evening stars. Returning his gaze toward her a moment later he smiled and said, "It is beginning to get late."

[Ginchoeri]

Day of the 43rd of Fall 512 AV continued She was glad that he seemed willing to wait for her. To take his time to learn more about her, though she could hear the dissapointment in his sigh she knew that it took a real man to be able to hold himself back. She could not help the sense of relief and happiness that streamed through her as she found this to be very comforting. She looked up at the sky with him and sighed. She did not want this day to end. But she realized, that as it got darker, the less and less they could do together. The only thing she could think of made her blush a little. She breathed and forced the blush away as she looked back at him to find him looking at her, a smile on his face. "Yeah, it is getting kind of late. It is saddening really." she looked at him, "I do not really want to leave." She looked back up at the sky. "Other then the painful parts of this day, I think... that this is the happiest I have been for 2 years. I almost... wonder what I have been doing all this time." She looked back at him and smiled, walking to him and taking his hand in hers. "Viper, please let me say this." She paused to make sure she had his attention. "Though it may scare me, how fast I am falling for you, it is happening. And I do NOT want to fight it. In fact, I am going to thuroughly welcome this change. Because, Viper, I feel you are worth it." When he started to laugh she sighed, "Viper, I mean it, please, I do not care how cheesy this sounds. I care about you, more than I have even cared about anyone in my life. And if you are willing to keep me, I will be yours." She blushed lightly, but she kept going. "If you are willing to wait, there will be a time when I will be ready for much more than kisses. But, I honestly think, that on our first day together, that anything more, would be completely irresponsible." She nodded and looked at him. He had stopped laughing at her, and he seemed to be paying close attention. But, she was not sure, if she should say the one phrase she wanted to say, if it was to soon. She decided against saying it, she was sure she would get the chance to say it to him. She was just glad she said what she did. She felt she had had to make him understand. Now she was sure he did.

[Viper]

He was pleased to hear she had enjoyed their little outting so much, even despite the disaster with her hand and the unexpected events at the healers pavilion. When she took his hand and asked to say something, his curiosity was piqued. Her smile eased his mind a bit, so he at least knew it wasn't bad news. He listened thoughtfully, though he did laugh at bit in the middle, and blush ever so slightly toard the end, though he really didn't know why. When she finished, he didn't imeediately respond, but thought for a moment.

Finally he looked back at her and smiled. He thought about giving her a kiss, even on the forehead, but checked himself. He had already pressed his luck today. No sense continuing on. So instead he wrapped an arm around her and chuckled. "Well I couldn't imagine lettin' a woman like you get away. So I guess that means I'm going to have to keep you." He finished teasingly as he grabbed Aeyans reigns and simply walked with Aeyan to the right and Gin to his left. All in all, it really was a great day he thought to himself. A couple bumps along the way, but like she said, one of the happiest he had also had in quite some time. He also had no problem with waiting for her. What was that old saying...all good things to those that wait? He smirked as he continued on back toward Endrykas, his two favorite people in the world with him.

[Ginchoeri]

Day of the 43rd of Fall 512 AV continued She smiled and playfully glared at him when he teased her about having to keep her. But her face glowed with happiness. He was going to keep her. She would start to feel more and more whole as time passed by. Because she knew, he would find a way to pick up all the pieces of her shattered heart. She leaned to him as he started walking, making sure she had everything with her before they left the site the were at completely. She wrapped her good arm around his back clutching his other side and smiled at him. Her journey with him was going to be an interesting one to say the least. She had a feeling this was going to be a good journey, if not wild, and it was one she was willing to take. When they made it back to her tent she grabbing her things from Aeyan's back and hugged the horse with her good arm, whispering thanks into his ear for all he had done that day. Then she went back to Viper, gave him a huge smile and closed the distance. Pulling him into a hug and giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thank you for today. Hope to see you soon." And that was it. She darted off into her tent, already ready for their next meeting.
