She frowned and rubbed his leg comfortingly as she saw his mounting frustration, she wanted to tell him to let it be for later. After the success of his exam she'd much rather celebrate with him than see him frustrate himself with this when it had never mattered before. Slowly she drew her hand back worried that she was breaking his concentration and nodding softly when he asked for a second.
She watched him and tried not to look as worried as she felt inside, her lips were pressed tight and she had to keep her teeth from nibbling at the lower one. She forced herself to look away afraid he would notice her intense staring and then almost jerked startled when he opened his eyes.
She smiled brightly and leaned across the bed, "they're perfect!"
It was surprising to see that intense blue gaze almost like eyes and so hauntingly handsome. She slowly moved her hand up and stroked his neck he fingers moving higher and barely caressing his cheek before she paused afraid to go any closer to his eyes.

With a relieved sigh, Rosc dipped his head a little. He'd managed it, he had brought back his eyes... of a sort. It was the closest he would get without taking Sin home with him and showing her the painting his mother had commissioned of the two of them. That one was also hidden away, in a storage room in the house. It didn't please him, having that reminder of all his crazed aunt had taken from him, even if he couldn't see it terribly well.
Sin's hand touched his face, neared his eyes and stopped. The orbs in his eyes flickered once before his lids closed and he drew her close, hugging her.
"It's okay, Sin. I'm okay." His cheek pressed against hers. "I can't promise I won't be surprised or jump, but..."
A thought popped into his head. Oh, he shouldn't. He really, really shouldn't.
But he couldn't stop himself.
He pulled back, his eyes flickering in good humor while a grin spread on his face.
"But you can touch me wherever you'd like."

She gave him a soft kiss after hearing his sigh of relief and then looked at him curiously. It was okay? She was all too happy to feel his arms around her, pressed cheek to cheek with him spoiling the moment by making him tense seemed silly. She stroked his side slowly and relaxed against him giving him time to get his words out.
touch me wherever you'd like
She jerked up and looked at the grin on his face before laughing and leaning in to kiss him. "You're just hoping I'll reciprocate the sentiment." She sat back up and leaned on one extended arm.
"Now that you've made two major accomplishments in a day perhaps we could enjoy some dinner?" She tried to steer the conversation to the casual but she was itching to test what he'd said...was it really okay or just for that moment? She wanted to try hugging him...a real hug.

It did him a lot of good to hear Sin laugh. It had quickly become his favorite thing to hear, even surpassing the sound of his cello. Jack, if he ever heard her sing...
He kept his grin at her response to his tease, cocking one eyebrow up, the blue orbs flickering.
"That would be a plus," he replied, but the grin faded slightly. "I do mean it, though. I trust you, Sin. Don't know how you managed it, but I trust you."
That said, he grabbed her hands, stood and drew her up with him, causing Ban to have to jump off Sin's lap with a disgruntled yip.
"Stuff it, dust devil, you got your attention," he replied, goading Ban into headbutting his leg before running over to his windowseat and curling up on it instead. Rosc's gaze returned to Sin's, the smile pleasant on his face.
"Dinner sounds like a great idea. I can tell you how stupid the exam was."

She grinned at the way his eyes flickered, the grin, the raised brow, a whole new range of emotions she'd never had the chance to really see. It was almost enough to take her breath away, her handsome incubus. Then the grin faded a bit and she smiled, if she didn't smile she might cry and that would spoil everything. How could she ruin the moment by telling him the truth, she didn't deserve his trust. When push came to shove she always looked out for herself, she'd let him fall into an abyss and she'd saved herself. Time and time again she always saved herself and let others suffer the consequences. If Rosc's aunt came to attack him again at this moment...well...she liked to think she would throw herself in harms path...but she wasn't so sure that if Rosc told her to protect herself and leave...she might. Such cowardice no matter how clever or resilient she might appear in the end...she knew she was just a coward.
She smiled though and stood when he drew her up laughing at Ban and re-arranging her dress. Keeping the facade was harder with Rosc, but it was also far more important. "Excellent...should we go out or are you willing to risk my cooking...it's always a fifty fifty."

"Do you want to cook?" Rosc asked, tilting his head a bit to one side. He turned away for just a moment, just long enough to grab the dark glasses. They were back on his face when he turned back to her, obscuring his eyes, but the faint glow was still there. He was going out, even if it was just to Sin's dorm. The only person he wanted to see his new eyes was Sin.
"I'm good with whatever you'd like to do." His arms wrapped back around her as he said it, honestly not caring where they had dinner. If she wanted to cook for him, that was fine, he trusted her. If she wanted to go out, that was fine, too. Restaurants were something to be wary of, yes, but less so than a hired cook.

"You really should decide since we're celebrating you, but if you wouldn't mind I'd like to cook for you. You can pick your own menu and relax, I'll even put Pantaloons and Ladyluv in the closet so you can eat in peace." She watched him put the dark glasses back on and tilted her head, it wasn't as nice as being able to see the full range of expression but it was better than the blindfold.
She walked over to the window to give Ban one last soft stroke before moving back into Rosc's arms and guiding him out towards her suite. "So tell me about your exam..."
