Can it get any more awkward? (Ximal)

[Aleksi]

Her giggle, once again, turned somewhat cheeky. Fingers applied a bit more pressure as she listened to him speak with a rather uncomfortable tone to his voice. A few axes, he said? A bow? And, a weapon of HIS design?, doing her best not to laugh again, Aleksi just leaned over to peek under the bed again, and added How did you put all of that down there? It seems a bit too tiny of a space really... with somewhat of a laugh muttered under her breath. She hoped it was not too obvious, with what she just said. Her eyes closed for a few minutes, trying to relax her mind so she wouldn't end up getting herself in a whole lot of trouble, if she didn't already. Leaning in, she added closer to his ear How come you didn't eat your apple? You don't like them?

[Ximal]

the small laugh of hers erupted forth again with a some what different ending this time, what exactly was she planning ? She leaned over to peek under the bed again, giving Xi another ample view. Xi took a slow deep breath to try and calm his nerves as she moved back to his view. Her words in his head playing over and his mind having a moment turned them into something very odd. Xi coughed again lightly as he felt the pressure on his temples remain steady. "I placed it down there....Very carefully, so that it...would fit and not clutter up the room...After all there isn't much space here." Xi finally felt the redness receding from his face, during the few chimes of silence. Though when the silence broke he could almost feel her breath on hsi ear asking him why he didn't eat the apple. Xi took a very deep breath and almost turned carmine in colour. W-well... I though I'd save it....I really like...Apples and food is...some what rationed in nyka... Petch petch petch PETCH!. I thought i had that damned stutter under control... Xo could almost hear his heart thudding in his chest it's usual, slow beat now roaring to the tune of a full two hour intensive work out.

[Aleksi]

She giggled again, quite close to his ear, after hearing him say how he placed the weapon under the bed. It was clear that he was following the path she pretty much marked, for that conversation and she found it almost intriguing. Her fingers just moved down a bit, along Xi's neck, still massaging before hearing him continue. He really liked apples? Well, so did she.... even though her diet was mostly consisted of meat, as a hunter Drykas, she still loved apples more than anything. With one hand, she reached over and offered it to him again Enjoy, I have another six in my bag, I am pretty sure it will be enough for the night, don't you think?, and once again, her words were hiding so much more behind them than one should ever attempt to do, unless they really were ready for the consequences. Was she ready though? What was she doing? Her consciousness finally kicked in and she realized how close she was to getting where she was at with Tebridiar. For the love of all Striders, she was on the hunt for those slavers that took away her little friend and yet she was doing this.... It's fine Aleksi, you need to relax and just enjoy in your days a bit... life is too short to constantly be on the move

[Ximal]

Xi could hear the hammering of his heart in his ears. She still hadn't moved from how close she was, he could still feel the warm breath from her brushing past his ear, then he felt her hands move sliding down the sides of his face lightly feeling the lightness fo her fingertips trailing down too his neck lightly. What was she going to do now ...Strangle him? Or something else. Xi didn't think he'd upset her. At least that's how he'd thought things had been going. Then one hand of hers slowly left his neck to pick up the apple, before offering it to him again. Accompanied by her saying she had six more in her bag. And she was pretty sure that would be enough for ...the..night...Xi's mind almost completely stopped thinking, what did she mean " for the night" ? Xi swallowed dryly again. And felt himself sub-consciously reaching for the apple. "W-well then...It shouldn't matter...If I have this one now then?" Xi's words a half embarrassed fumble followed by a slow take of the apple from her hand and a loud crunch as he took a bite chewed lightly savouring the flavour of the sweet apple even as a tail of apple juice ran-down the corer of his mouth lightly having bled out from the apple as he bit in. By the gods above what in the heck was he doing? Xi swallowed still some what oblivious to the little stream of apple juice. His eye's now open and staring into her light green ones , his dark blue ones looking almost childlike.

[Aleksi]

Her fingers, as he took the apple, went back to his neck and slowly started massaging down his shoulders and along his arms. Moving one foot to his, she gently spread his legs just enough to get closer to him. Hearing him speak like that, almost confused made her melt. Lips curled into a smile, before a soft giggle escaped her as she saw the little juice drop sliding out of the corner of his mouth. Her hand moved up, a finger gently brushed against his skin to wipe the juice off, when she realized that she her face was dangerously close to his. You had apple juice there... Aleksi whispered quietly while looking deep into Xi's eyes. Her heart seemed to rush a bit as well, maybe not as much as his, but it sure did. Pale cheeks got a nice, pink shade to them and her voice seemed just a tad more soft than usual

[Ximal]

Xi kept his eyes on hers looking for something , anything to let him know that he, wasn't dreaming and that she wasn't playing a trick on him. Though as she got closer to him her face now only inches away from his he stared back and then felt her thumb lightly brush the corner of his mouth whilst her[, other hand held onto his upper arm lightly. Her light giggle then made the colour in his cheeks remain the same brightness it had been, as he ten felt her prying his legs open and felt the rest of her body move in closer. Xi pretty much almost turned into a pile of goo at that point, his mind running on empty. Then the light sound of her voice saying he had a drop of apple juice on his mouth snapped him back into a state of reality. her face lightning up now with colour much like his. Xi took another slow deep breath his heart hammering like a rumbling set of thunder clouds. "W-well, thank you...I completely failed...to notice...I was busy...focusing on something else..." Xi's voice almost contained a touch of innocence but still retained that warbled tone he'd had. His eye's locked onto hers, and her face. He had no idea what he should do, he was completely running on a blank mind.

[Aleksi]

She smiled warmly at him, still not moving an inch as her fingers made their way down his cheek, over his neck and onto the other shoulder. Her mind was going all over the place. She had no idea what to do next, or what was even supposed to come next. So she eventually just gave up on thinking what is she supposed to do, and went with what felt right. With a soft giggle, again, she sat down on one of his legs and somewhat shyly added So, what are we going to do now Xi? Her eyes sparkled as her fingers reached back and moved over his shoulder blades, trying to relax herself and him... or was she? She didn't really know, nor did she really care. She just knew it felt more right than anything she has been doing the past few seasons and for the first time, she didn't miss who she came looking for...

[Ximal]

Xi watched her face as he lfet her hands move down his and onto his shoulder, and then felt her light weight move to sit on one of his knees. She was still so close and he could see every detail in her eyes and was trying not to miss a fleck of it. Xi took a slow breath as he heard her giggle again, she'd been like this from the start. Holding his breath lightly as he exhaled he heard her ask, what were they going to do now? What WERE they going to do now? Xi really didn't want to take the lead in anything incase this was all a trap and he felt another swift stinging blow to some where delicate again. Though he saw the sparkle in her eye and felt her fingers reach back and over his shoulder blades. Xi then spoke again in the same slightly warbled and vaguely embarrassment riddled tone. "W-well, aleksi.....I leave that ...upto you..." Xi then felt his won arms lift and one lift high enough to reach around her back across her shoulder blades and hold on lightly. His other lifted to her waist level and held itself on at her hip. Please, oh please, oh please, don't let this be a trick or a dream... Xi then slowly felt himself closing the distance between their faces very slowly...Just slow enough to let her object if she wanted too.

[Aleksi]

She smiled again, as she felt his hands move around her. What was he going to do? Was she supposed to object? Was she supposed to react in a particular way other than blushing, giggling from time to time and feeling her heart beat really fast. Her face didn't move an inch, yet, her fingers slowly made their way to his hair. Curling it up a little bit, she started following his footsteps finally. Moving towards him, she could feel her heart start beating really fast. Her mind turned blank, completely blank as she stared into his eyes, practically melting. Aleksi, what are you doing?! You have never done this! What is this?! You were supposed to be with a Drykas male, if you were going to be with one at all!! And what about Tebridiar?!, her mind screamed all of a sudden, but she managed to calm it down by taking a quiet, yet deep breath, hoping she didn't seem too upset.

[Ximal]

Xi's arms tightened slowly as his mind grew ever blanker, holding onto her he lifted her up sliding one hand beneath her waist to support her from beneath. His face close into hers slowly taking it's time, every thing in his mind now was screaming at him to try and stop but his body wasn't listening. He could feel the eat of her breath on his lips and then. he kisses her, slowly lightly before lifting her slightly higher and tilting her head to the side as he now held her above the bed in his arms. He was going to do this...Really going to do this? Ovek...Sometimes...I really do have to thank you. Xi slowly broke the kiss with her and let her down onto the bed gently. He'd be careful to make sure to not take another knee...
