[ She preens when he kisses her again, smiling up at him when he says she loves her...
But then he says I'm sorry, and she quickly attempts to put a stop to that by bringing a finger up to his lips. ] None of that, okay?
[ He's sorry about being "hands off"? When he nearly died? When he had to become used to seeing a crystal upon his body, or the after-effects of how all those memories effected his mind? When the city was being eaten by worms? It's not as if she had been in the mood either with any of these things happening! That last thing she'd want is for him to feel he needs to apologize. ]
[He smiles at her correction, grateful for her understanding, and feeling a little silly for it. he hopes it isn't implying that all she's been thinking about is the sex they weren't having- that wasn't his intent, nor was it the reason for his apology. Merited or not, he'd rather apologize for any perceived neglect if it exists. There's enough instances in his life where he's failed to apologize out of pride or whatever. He doesn't want their relationship to take hits from stupid reasons or bad excuses.]
Not gonna say you're wrong, there. [He's glad he said it, nonetheless.
Gently he withdraws from her warmth, trying not to seem so reluctant about it, and pulls her against him as he shifts them both fully onto the bed to lie side by side. it's still warm like this, and the mutual glows between their bodies subtly light their expressions from below.]
[ It takes her a few moments to readjust as he pulls apart from her, and when positions himself on the mattress, she turns to face him, draping an arm over his shoulder.
Architect, she cannot stop looking at him. He seems far more relaxed than he's been a long while. ]
Our crystals, your mean.? [ She hums thoughtfully. ]
I'm not entirely sure... We might both end up surprised.
[It's not a show, either; there's a tension easing out of his body, a blessing bestowed upon him not just by mindblowingly good sex and a solid distraction from all that's happened, but also a relief that their connection isn't just pain for her and a wall around the crystal's memories, or something to keep him alive. To know that there's some other benefit for both of them, something they can enjoy on top of the company they share on account of his still being alive. She'd said it was okay and that was enough, and he believes her- but he feels better now, knowing they have this too.
He shifts a little, easing his arm between them so he can stroke her hair.]
I'm just happy it's a good surprise this time. If there's more to find out, I hope it'll be more like this.
[ Her eyes slide shut as he runs a hand through her hair. For someone who's so apt at combat, he's an expert in gentleness, too.
Pyra lets out a sigh, reassured by his hope. He's fine with this connection of their crystal-- where they're able to share a sensation like this with each other, and not just his pain transferring to her. She had been worried he'd be more stressed at having yet another intrusive feeling being shoved upon him...
Although she does wonder the extent of her sharing this sort of want with him. Will it happen every time she's-- ]
Mmm.... I wonder if we'll have to wait long to find out.
[ This is said with a hint of a blush. Of course by now they've both figured out her drive is higher than his. ]
[It takes a few seconds, as his eyes shift to catch the blush on her cheeks, and it spreads to his own as he chuckles quietly.]
Caught on pretty quick on the way home... guess I won't be missing any hints going forward. [That she's horny as heck? Yeah, she's not been subtle before, he's just kinda thick sometimes. He leans in, bumping his forehead to hers and lowering his voice.] You got me wrapped around your finger now...
[Well, it's not like it's mind control. At least, he doesn't feel like he's out of his own control. The feeling of heat and desire were emphasized, but he could have said no, and it's not like he wasn't into her before all of this happened. It's just... stronger, now. Which is supposed to happen when you're in love anyway, or so he'd always thought.
It's stranger than most relationships admittedly, and he's definitely not going to be mentioning this to anyone else. He doesn't think they'd understand, especially when he barely does himself.]
[ She sinks into his embrace comfortably. Even if they hadn't been linked by her crystal or his magic, she believes that their relationship would be just as strong. Noctis is attentive when it counts, caring and dedicated and kind. He knows her well. From their kisses to their embraces to the sex itself, he's been satisfying her. She attempts to give everything she can to him, as well.
She smiles against the skin, kissing the side of his mouth. ]
As if you didn't have me in the palm of your hand.
Ohh? That so. Is that why we fit together so well? [He smiles beneath her lips, a slice of deviousness in his tone.] Is that why...
[He probably shouldn't rile her up again, especially when the conversation is so sweet and sincere. At the same time, it's so easy to tease his hand between her breasts, fingers brushing just beneath where her crystal begins.]
[ Is it a win-win or lose-lose scenario if, when he teases her, he'll be able to feel the effects of teasing her? Because if he's trying to rile her up, it's working. Her torso moves just an inch closer to his touch.
His double entendre earns him a pleasant giggle, and she mimics the touch upon his chest, right beneath where his crystal is set. ]
Mm.... We do fit together nicely. But sometimes we have to move to get it to fit in just the perfect way.
[Little of column A, little of column B? Honestly, he doesn't mind that much. He likes knowing that she's enjoying herself, and it's a surefire way to be certain. She ought to get an extra shiver out of his side, too, as her hand lingers on him.]
Well... there's bound to be some growing pains. Mine's a little bigger than it used to be.
[He almost falters on the words, the fluster trying to get the best of him. He's not the best at this sort of talk, but look at him trying!]
[ She is enjoying it, her cheeks covered in a healthy flush and her body already warming up against his. As much as this sort of talk can be silly, she finds it both fun and provocative. She feels safe enough with him to be daring and shameless in these matters, with a partner who is receptive and wanting just like her.
His shiver translates into a flare of warm intrigue, and her hand moves lower upon his chest. ] ...Is it really? [ And lower. ] I better check. [ And lower still, to cup him tenderly between his legs. He's wet from all of their shared intimacy, allowing her to rather easily wrap and slide her fingers around him. ]
[His response is another quiet laugh, his body arching into her touch as he leans close to catch her lips in a deeper kiss. He responds easily to her stroking, and before long he's rolling to straddle her once more, shifting between her legs, teasing her with that familiar kiss and slide before they begin to move together once more. The heat consumes them a second time, stoked by their joining, the kisses they exchange and the noises they coax out of one another. Neither last long, the embers still burning hot from the last round; when they reach that sweet apex, they do so together and are left panting hard and smiling. It feels like it's never been so easy- to be with her, to love her, to make love.
Soon he's laid out on his back, spent and satisfied, his arm curling around her to hold her close to him, fingers back to idly stroking her hair. His eyes are closed and he looks rather like a very contented cat.]
[ It's for a second time this evening that she finds both bliss and comfort in his arms and upon their bed, their passion and contentedness shared by the ended of it. Nestled in closely to him again, she's unable to stop smiling to herself as she catches her breath, aching between her legs but completely satisfied. ]
Mm... Noct?
[ She rolls on her side to kiss him upon his cheek, nestling close to his arm and allowing one to rest upon his chest.
That's it. That's what she had wanted to tell him: a single kiss, chaste and loving. After a full day's worth of work, no doubt they'll have to bathe, but she's in no hurry to leave. ]
