Huxian [Inner Thoughts]: So long as her desire is me...I’m her happiness, right? Her smile - this precious smile - is mine to treasure. I will. I promise, I-
Rodessa: Hue…
*Breaking from his thoughts, he took in Rodessa, who seemed oddly fidgety. For a moment, he wondered what was wrong - until that enticing scent, stronger than before, reached his nose and it clicked in his mind what the problem was. His smile widened, even as her cheeks seemed to darken, obviously realising he had clued into her predicament*
Huxian [Inner Thoughts]: Ah yes...that scent that was making those horny mutts turn rabid. So faint around them, and yet, for me, it’s practically intoxicating...I...I want to...to...Wait! No. Behave. Still...such a beautiful mess beneath me...in that dress...it’s practically an open invitation...isn’t it?
Huxian: Are you trying to seduce me, Miss Kariudo?
Rodessa: N-no, well… maybe... um.. Eep! What are you-?
Huxian: I’m not hearing a no...Then again, that dress is practically screaming yes.
Rodessa: *Blush* P-Pervert!!!
Huxian: *Grin* Oh? You wound me, my lady. Well, if that really is the case, that scent of yours is terribly misleading. Still, if that is your wish, then I’ll do my gentlemanly duty and happily escort you back to the-
Rodessa: *Head down and cheeks burning* Leave me in this state, Fluffball, and I’ll kill you!
*Laughter springing to his lips, true and bright as he pulled her closer again, Huxian felt almost as though his shattered soul had somehow snapped back into place*
Huxian: *Eyes half lidded* As you wish, my lady.
---
*Her body pressed against his, Huxian stroked his hand over her cheek, gently coaxing her to lift her head, to meet his eyes with her own. Her face was flushed red, bashfulness and longing all fighting for position in her expression. Gifting her with a near indulgent smirk, just to see that desire flash in silver orbs, he ran his fingers over her hair, already tousled from her sprint to his room, catching the tie in his fingers and gently pulled it out, arching her head up even as it allowed her locks to spill down over her shoulders like a midnight waterfall. Tangling his fingers into the curls, he closed the distance and captured her lips with his own. He could feel her shiver as he coaxed her mouth open, letting his tongue slip inside, could feel her fingers grasp at his shirt and clench into the material as if to pull him that bit closer.
Emboldened by her reaction, he pulled back a little, his lips brushing hers as she gasped for shuddering breaths, tugging her hair back a little more to expose the hollow of her throat, trailing kisses along her neck. Each time his lips brushed her skin, he could hear the shudder of anticipation in her breath, as he he sucked, nibbled and licked, he could hear the soft whines, felt her grip tightening on his clothes, the breath of a whisper of his name. Her body pressed against him, arching, as if to expose just that bit more of her neckline, that bit more for his lips to explore.
Not one to pass up such an invitation, he followed the tantalizing exposed skin as the hand not entwined with her hair dragged slowly down her back, nails brushing against her skin as he followed the length of her spine as he slowly lowered her back against the bed, lower and lower, only until he had almost reached the small of her back that fingers met the cloth of her dress. Any lower and it would have began to expose much more dangerous territory, enough that made even his breath hitch with desire. But even without that, seeing her splayed on the bed beneath him, cheeks aflush, her hair spilled out around him and eyes half lidded with want and bright with need, that shiver of longing would have taken hold.*
Huxian: Temptress...
*He breathed into her ear, the hand at her back running over the curve of her rear, hitching up her exposed leg, fingers dancing tantalisingly over her skin.*
Huxian: Wearing that...Looking like that...how could anyone leave you in such a state? When your body is practically an aphrodisiac...You’re temptation incarnate.
Rodessa: *Shaky Breath* Y-yet you won't go further
Huxian: Is that a challenge?
*Trailing up from her leg, over the bodice of her dress and trailing along the plunged neck until his finger was curled over the deepest part.*
Huxian: I told you in that letter, didn’t I? My fears that held me back before?
*He leaned closer, tugging on her ear gently with his teeth, before his voice dropped to a whisper*
Huxian: And I told you...I’m not being held back by them any longer. You came to me, knowing what was there. You wanted me not to leave you in this state. Yet you challenge me further?
*his finger curled a little more. A twist of his power allowing it to become sharp as a claw*
Huxian: Would you doubt me, even now?
*Barely resisted by the smooth material, the claw slid through the hem, sliding through with the ease of a sharp knife, exposing more and more skin, even as he spoke, voice a low, breathy whisper into her ear*
Huxian: If I didn’t want this...would I still be here? If I didn’t have to wait until that promised day, do you think I wouldn’t already have given you that extra step?
*The opening was so low now, that it hovered just high enough to cover her modesty, but his finger brushed against the skin, enticingly*
Huxian: I want every bit of you. If you still want everything of me.
Rodessa: *Gentle purr, smirk* Don't keep me waiting longer than I have to, Master Yin.
*He was sure that Rodessa could feel his lips curve into a smirk of his own against her ear. Not about to let her wait longer - he had left her waiting far too long as it was thanks to his own insecurities, he roughly yanked his claw the rest of the way, shredding it like tissue paper as it slipped open, exposing her in all her glory. Allowing the claw to vanish, he trailed the back of his fingers up the inside of her thigh, brushing agonisingly close to the sensitive opening, even as he trailed his own kisses over her neck, her collar bones and lower, running his tongue over the swell of her breast, lifting his eyes to lock onto hers.*
Huxian: If I am ‘Master’ Yin, then surely that makes you not in the position to be giving orders, dear Roza.
*Giving her a sharp little nip, if only to give her a jolt of surprise, he grinned.*
Huxian: Just a little warning. Don’t worry, though, even if you misbehave a little…
*His fingers, which had been dancing over her opening enough to make her unconsciously press upwards, trailed over the folds, teasing against the sensitive nub*
Huxian: I’ll still be sure to make you scream.
---
*The sun began to rise, the glimmer of gold bathing the room in a soft glow. Drowsily, Huxian gently ran his fingers through Rodessa’s hair as the girl curled up closer against his chest, her cheek nuzzling his skin under the warmth of the blankets. It was a strange, almost nostalgic feeling, like the scene he remembered when they had both gone to the hotel together. Yes, the room that day was the same way this room looked now in the dawn’s light.
Huxian: How long has it been since I last watched the sunrise…? You seem to bring it with you, you know that? You bring that light and warm me to the core.
*He paused as the girl stirred in his arms, feeling the brush of her eyelashes as they fluttered. His lips twitched up fondly. Unable to help himself, he pressed his lips against her forehead as he saw her finally pry open her heavy lids*
Huxian: Ah, sorry. Did I wake you, love?
*Still a little sleepily, Rodessa pulled herself up, running her fingers over his chest, almost fascinated, as if she hadn’t been sure he was truly there*
Rodessa: *Sigh mumble* Hue? Good, it’s not a dream.
Huxian: I certainly hope not. It is morning after all.
Rodessa: *Grin* You look exhausted… Was last night that much…? I know your getting on, but-
*Before she could finish her sentence, Huxian flipped the girl onto her back, enjoying the slight squawk to the cut off sentence, even as he raised a mocking eyebrow*
Huxian: *Devilish Smirk* Are you calling me an old man, young lady?
Rodessa: Me~? No~! Why would you say such a thing?
*Amused at her attempts at innocence, Huxian smirked as he leaned himself slightly against her, tugging a lock of hair in mock scolding, even as he captured her lips for a long, deep kiss soon after. Finally, he pulled back, toying with that same curl between his fingers*
Huxian: *Chuckle* Brat. Anyway, I’m fine…it’s just...
Rodessa: *Flat Expression* You’re hiding something. Again.
Huxian: Not intentionally! It’s just...there’s so much to fix...so much I need to do. I need to go back and fix it there, too.
*Rodessa looked none the wiser. In fact, she seemed even more confused than before, her eyes flicking from one to the other, searching his face for any indication of...something that could enlighten her to the half muttered riddle*
Rodessa: Hue...What are you talking about?
*For a moment, Huxian bit his lip, conflicted*
Huxian [Inner Thought]: Am I even allowed to tell her?
*At that moment, the familiar voices of Venus and Parame drifted into his mind, as if in answer to a silent prayer*
Goddesses: Are you talking to us? If so...well, we don’t see why not. This should prove to be fun!
*Frustrated that, even if he had been hoping for some kind of sign that even his most random thoughts weren’t private, he couldn’t help the reflexive scolding*
Huxian [Inner Thought]: Will. You. Get. Out. Of. My. Head!
Goddesses: *Chuckle* NO. End. Of. Story.
Huxian [Inner Thought]: *Sigh* …..
*Frustrated or not by his lack of privacy, at least he knew that he didn’t have to keep anything from Rodessa. In fact a part of him really wanted her to know, or at least to not feel like he was keeping something from her so soon after he had confessed so many of his inner demons. He didn’t want to keep anything else from her. He could only hope that she wouldn’t think he was completely insane.*
Huxian: This is...this is going to sound unbelievable. Hell, even I’m struggling to keep up with the whole thing and I’m the one caught in the middle of it all. But I’ll do my best to explain.
*Taking a deep breath, closing his eyes to gather himself for a moment, he let it out slowly, centred, before opening his eyes to meet Rodessa’s so she could read in his eyes the truth of his words*
Huxian: You know that in almost all pantheons, how the gods and goddesses like to sometimes...meddle in the affairs of those who dwell in the mortal plane? Right now, there are two goddesses who have found some...interest in our affairs, enough to decide to meddle themselves. There was something that they’d seen, something about us? Or perhaps it was about me? *Semi bitter smile* I do tend to mess a lot of things up.
Whatever it was they had seen, though, they didn’t like. It seems we have fans of the two of us being together, and were frustrated by the same things you yourself were, about what was holding me back. My fears, the ghosts of the past….From what I can tell, they seemed to feel the best way of ‘curing’ this, was by taking my soul and...tossing it through time. Right now, I’m not even certain where in my own timeline I am. It feels like I’ve been shunted into different parts of my timeline that my grasp on that’s slipped. But, wherever in the timeline it is, it seems that what they were trying to do was teach me to break through the fears and insecurities that were keeping me from being able to move on.
I don’t...really understand what they get out of it beyond entertainment, but...without the help, I don’t know if I could have broken through that shell. I was convinced for so long that I was ‘cursed’ that I had somehow thought I was protecting you from that curse too. Of course, I always was a bit thick headed sometimes.
Rodessa: ….I see…. Guess some things things never change, huh?
Huxian: I’m-
Rodessa: Don’t.
Huxian: ...Don’t?
Rodessa: *Deep Sigh* Don’t apologize. I know you’re about to. *Sigh* Oh my love…. Do you remember when you asked me ‘if I lost my memory, would I still love you?’
Huxian: I…
Rodessa: I don’t think my feelings would change, or at the very least, I don’t feel that it would take me long to be hopelessly, helplessly in love with you all over again.
I know myself… if there was ever any doubt in you, or if you held back like you did in this time, I know I would have built a wall around myself. My heart’s fragile, you know, when it comes to you, at least. If you ever rejected me, I don't think I could cope. I don't think I would be able to keep my cool, though I would act like it.
The very thought of you rejecting me...well, you might as well kill me. It would be kinder.
Huxian: Roza, don’t-!
*She softly silenced him, a gentle finger against his lips*
Rodessa: You asked me that question, before, but my question for you: would you give up on me so easily? Not push for the girl your letter says you claim to hold so dearly. I must admit…. I feel for that girl. I think above all, you left her feeling lonely.
Sad as it maybe, my world seems to revolve around a certain fox.
Huxian: Roza, I-
*His words cut off by the look in the girl’s eyes, the sad smile that graced her lips. Around them, what had once been solid became a kaleidoscope of colour, becoming brighter and brighter until he had to screw up his eyes against the glare as everything around him faded into blaring light, carrying him away, twisting, swirling, then finally, slowly, fading. Cautiously, he opened his eyes. The blinding light was manageable now, the world becoming that bit more solid-*
Voice: Oh, you’re here?
*Heart jumping in his throat, his eyes shot wide open jerking back in shock. Before him was Rodessa, but not the Rodessa he had just left behind. Rather, instead was a scene, a familiar scene of the fused rooms and the strange dreamscape, both real, yet not. He remembered exactly what happened, the mistake he had made, the start of this whole venture. A mistake that almost seemed on repeat right now. A hand that had been reaching out to him pulled back, clasped against the girl’s chest in response to his surprised flinch at the sudden arrival and he knew, he knew, he knew that she thought something was wrong, that she thought he was flinching from her, oh gods-!*
Huxian [Inner Thought]: Not again! Say something, Dammit! Don't repeat last time! You can’t, you can’t-!
Huxian: Roza!
*Before she could do anything else, he shot forwards. In a single movement he yanked her close to him, one arom wrapped almost painfully around her waist, the other wrapped around her thigh as he buried his head against her stomach. His whole body shivered, fear, adrenaline, the force of his hold, he didn’t know, but it was only when he felt it, the tentative touch in his hair, the gentle stroking over his head, more confident with every sweep, did the trembles begin to fade. Gulping a shaky breath, he managed to pull away enough to be able to look up at her. The silver eyes that gazed down were full of confusion, but more importantly, filled with compassionate concern*
Rodessa: Seriously, Fluff, what going o-MNnnn!
*His lips were on hers before either of them could blink, putting everything into it that he couldn’t have done the first time around and even more. By the time he pulled back, she was practically swooning, breathless and weak kneed. Sliding his hands up her back to hold her steady even as he pressed her closer, he kissed her gently, even as he reassured her with his free breaths.*
Huxian: *Between Kisses* Don't ask. It nothing... Just a bad dream. But, I’m awake now… right?
Rodessa: *Breathless* Hue, umn! Are you sure you’re ok? I don't mind- Ah!
Burying his face in the crook of her neck, he nipped the place where he knew the hers of the past had loved, feeling her jolt in that familiar way, shivering at the sound of her startled gasp, the way she pressed closer and rubbed against him as he licked and kissed at that spot. Almost desperately, so that she would never suffer from his idiocy again, he reached into her hair, grazing his nails against her scalp as he tangled his fingers into the silky locks and angled her head so he could give all the sensitive areas as much attention as he could, as if to make up for every time he had ignored them in a misplaced idea of self punishment.
He could feel with every kiss, every nip, every trail of a tongue dragging over skin that she was responding to him, clinging onto him in turn, almost in disbelief at first as her fingers wrapped in silvery hair, nails dragged down his back. With every gasp as he rediscovered every part that made her writhe, gasp and moan until they both collapsed against the bed, Rodessa pressed against the mattress, both heedless to it as Huxian focused his everything to give her all the attention he could muster, urged on by her equally eager responses.
Rodessa: *Half lidded eyes* Ah...if only you were like this in real life...not just in my dreams...
