Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aden's eyes seem to be adapting pretty well which made him smile to himself.

"We're going to a place I found the last time I was here. This gave goes towards a mine that goes way down into the earth. A cowboy never fails to kill culture." The last sentence seemed to be mostly mumbled and then he went back to his normal voice. "Well, the place I want to show you has these crystals all around this one area which I'll have to squeeze into this small area once we get there so we can enter... Anyway, there's this wholes that are small that lead towards the outside and the moonlight shines in, when it does, the place lights up because of the crystals in the walls." He turned his head to look at Talia and then accidentally tripped on something, but managed to get his balance quickly. When he looked, he saw wood. "We'll need this..." He turned to Talia and brought her hand up to his lips and softly kissed the back of it, then softly let go of her hand and began picking up the wood.

"We're getting closer." He admitted as he now stood up straight with the logs and branches of dried wood in his arms and then began to walk. A few steps into the walk, there was the road heading upwards.

((lol!))

Aden smiled. "To keep you warm." he replied. "Yes, crystals." his smile grew and a little laugh escaped.

They began the walk up the hill path and after several minutes of walking up, the road stopped as there was what appeared to be a "step" that reached up to the middle of Aden's chest. He placed all of the wood on the corner of the step and looked Talia and smiled.

"Pardone moi." Aden said with a smile and got extremely close to her and picked her up. He then continued by sitting her down on the step and then looked up at her now that she was a lot higher than him. "We're almost there." he admitted so she wouldn't think they'd end up walking all night. He then winked at her playfully, trying to ignore the urge to just bury his face in her skin just to take in her overwhelming aroma.

Aden then placed his hands on the top of the step and jumped up, letting his knee touch first to help him stand quickly. He then looked at her again. "Need help? Oh and to answer your question, about the music, it depends on my mood. Metal when I'm pissed, indie when...Yeah." he started laughing and then put his hands in front of him for her to take them so he could help her up.

Aden raised an eyebrow when he saw Talia picking up the sticks and branches. "You don't have to carry them." he said with a smile on his face. "I have three brothers and three sisters." He confessed. "I guess my parents were trying to make an army or something." he laughed lightly and then continued. "And they're all older than I am, but how about you? Any brothers or sisters?"

He turned to start walking and she was right in front of him. He looked at her and smiled instantly. When he heard her remark about his eyes, he raised an eyebrow and his lips curved to make a half smile. "Actually, no. I guess no one's really payed much attention." he said, it coming out timidly as he was scared he was about to start blushing. He looked down for a minute to recollect himself and then looked up at Talia, keeping his smile. "Has anyone told you that' you're absolutely beautiful?" He asked in return, staring straight into her eyes. "And not just physically." He looked down bashfully and then took in a deep breath, but then suddenly he felt his cheeks burning. "Lets go, we'll be there soon."

He placed his hand on shoulder as he held the few sticks with his other hand and turned her carefully to face the way they were going and then slid his arm around her as he began to walk beside her.

"Do you like chocolate?" he asked curiously which ended up sounding random. He usually tending to ask spur of the moment questions and he hoped it wouldn't bother her.

((lol cool. Lilly by The Smashing Pumpkins is on for me when I was replying to the Cemetery thread and now Emily by From First to Last is on. Weird, all names xD))

"I would." Aden said in response to her visiting her mother and step dad. He then laughed lightly. As they were now walking, since Aden had his arm around her shoulders, resting his arm on her right shoulder, he allowed the flashlight to shine in front of them with ease. "Actually, I can safely say that I can have chocolate. My addiction though is peanut butter with chocolate, so yeah. I love Reese's buttercups...actually, anything Reese's." He smiled as he looked ahead. "And I don't mind asking questions, I actually find it fun." he laughed lightly. "So, any theories or questions you might have, feel free to ask or state." He turned his eyes to look down at her as his smile too over his face. He really didn't want her to feel uncomfortable with him.

"I hope I'm not passing a line here, but I want to ask you something. Have you ever dated before you became a fallen angel? and if so, for how long?" Now his eyes had moved to look straight ahead, making sure that there was nothing in the ground to surprise any of them like a horrid rock or twig.

Aden's jaw dropped when he heard that she's never been on a date or even a kiss. He then shook his head. "Wait.. How is that possible? You're so beautiful and you're a lot of fun to talk to." He asked and confessed as he turned to look at her. Suddenly, a soft light caught the corner of his eye, when he looked he saw light beaming from what seemed to be a rack in the wall and he smiled. "We're here."

They walked a little more as he payed attention to Talia. Once arriving at what once looked like a crack in the wall, they came to see that it was more like a really thin tunnel that they had to walk sideways to get threw. It was only a few feet until it opened into the wide room that he was dying to show her. He then went in front of her and opened his arms. "Can I help with the wood now so you can pass first? You can have the flashlight now." he stated with a big smile on his face. He was actually very excited to show her this new location which he only found recently.

He had also wanted her to go in first so she would be entertained with the moonlight beaming off of the crystals until he could light the fire so then she could see the crystals reflecting the blue, red and orange from the fire.

Aden smiled when she handed him the wood and watched her go through. Luckily for him, he managed to get through a lot easier compared to the first time he tried it and that ended up brutal. Once he slipped through, he saw Talia's face and smiled brightly. He then divided the wood, placing the ones that would light faster in the middle and the bigger ones on the outer side just a few feet away from her so she wouldn't have to move later when she got cold to warm up, she could just stay leaning against the wall.

He patiently waited until Talia eyes came back to him, once they did he smiled softly at her and then went up to her. He carefully went on his knees to face her eye to eye and then opened the coat again and sneaked his hand inside and opened a hidden pocket that was towards the bottom left of the coat and pulled out his flint. He then closed the coat up and walked over to the wood he was prepared to start burning. "I'm glad you like it." he finally said as he pulled out his pocket knife. Aden then went down on his knees and scratched the blade of the knife on the flint and sparks went flying onto the wood. A few more tries later and the wood ignited. A few seconds after that, the fire began to burn brightly. He then turned back to look at Talia. "How you feeling?"

Aden smiled. "Your welcome, but I wanted to show one beauty another." He then turned around to see Talia standing and he smiled. He wanted up to her slowly, once he was as close as he thought appropriate, he softly cupped her cheeks with his hands as he looked into her eyes and he held a soft smile. He then leaned in carefully and allowed hips lips to touch hers softly.

Aden had been thinking about kissing her for a long time, that's why he decided to take her to this place, rather than the other place which would've been somewhat warmer. but was a lot duller. He wanted to make sure that her first real kiss happened to be in a beautiful, if not special, place where she could also enjoy the surroundings.

He allowed the kiss to linger, tilting his head to the side as he softly caught her bottom lip between his.

((lol ^_^ um..i hope u dnt mind me asking, but... how old are u?xD))

Aden tried as hard as he could to not lose himself in the moment. Once he felt her ease up, he moved his hands from her cheeks and slid them around her waist.

He then pressed his lips against hers to softly grace her bottom lip which he had to then softly catch it again. He made sure that he was going at a pace that wasn't going to annoy her. He tended to rush through things, although this was the first time he actually wanted to take things slow for her.

After a few more seconds into the kiss, he broke it off, but not backing away from her, instead he rested his forehead softly against hers and kept his eyes closed as a smile quickly emerged. "I'm sorry." he said softly, almost in a complete whisper. "I just couldn't resist any longer." The confession came out honestly, but now he was contemplating how much he could actually hold back now that he's tasted her sweet, soft, petal lips.
