Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ember felt confused after he left. He answered only one of her questions, which made her slightly frustrated. " But why the Guardians? " She mumbled to herself, slowly rising and slowly getting more frustrated at Sin. He doesn't have to protect the family on his own, and you can't protect the family if your hurting them! Ahh... Ember just left out a big sigh and then turned to her snacks, picking them up, and slowly walking to Tomoya's Office. Would Tomoya be able to explain things to me? Maybe it is just a Friend to Friend thing. Ember began to climb the stairs as she was in thought. The rays of the sun shimmered through the Mid stairs window, between the stairs. Ember glanced up at it and felt like she was staring at it forever. Tomoya.... Ember blushed softly at the thought, but resumed climbing up. Once she was at the top with the Tray still perfectly balanced, she looked around and began down the Right hall. She knew exactly which room Tomoya worked in and if he wasn't there, there were other places to check. Just as she arrived there, with her free hand, she tried to make her hair all neat and straighten her clothes out. Blushing all the while, she felt ready to go it and knocked lightly on the door. " T-tomoya-sa-, I-I mean, Tomoya? May I come in? " She grasped a hold of the copper knob and slowly turned it, opening the door so that her head peeked through, seeing if he was in there.

Softly blushing from his comment with a soft giggle, she entered his office with the tray of Snacks still fresh and warm, and walked over to his desk, gently putting the tray down on a cleared space on his desk, and then offered a cup of tea and a plate of snacks to him. Ember was blushing pretty obviously, sometimes glancing up at his work while she gently placed the treats on a plate for him, watching him looking awful busy. I-i'm I interrupting him? Ember didn't want to feel like burden, so she quickly put the plate next to him with the tea, bowed quickly, and took the tray with the rest of the snacks away, starting to head out of the room. She was so nervous. Both of them had just confessed how they like to each other and all Ember could do was recall to that moment, not being able to get it out of her head. Her face was bright as she was just about to leave.

Ember had stopped dead in her tracks and listened to his first words. They made her body shiver up to a blush, now holding the tray with two hands and just before she though he was done, he shot out another gentle compliment and her face was bright red. She slowly turned around and looked at him with her deep royal blue eyes. Slowly she meandered over to the chair across the desk with a deep blush visibly, but Ember was trying to hide it. She placed the tray down on his desk and then fell to a silence for a while till she tried to speak. " I-i... " Ember looked down at the left corner of her vision and then looked up from her shy pose, but still was blushing fairly so. " I-i love you t-too T-tomoya... " She clasped her hands together and smiled softly as she remembered his compliment about the tea. " Its a Velvet sugar Tea that is a mixture of black Tea but with a fruit herb mix and a light sweetener. " Then she looked at his plate and smiled, pointing out the cookies. " And the cookies are a soft gingersnap with light cinnamon top but covered in Icing or whipped cream and/or chocolate and berries. " Ember couldn't stopped the excitement that escaped her smiling lips. She truly loved to cook and she had though about making it a profession but has been too scared to interview for a job much less a school application.

Ember blushed softly and saw his blush flicker through his cheeks, turning them a graze of pink. Her attention caught his eyes first, and then his face and saw that he had crumbs on his cheek and leaned over his desk and wiped the crumbs off using her finger. " You had some crumbs there. " Ember was half way pulling back before she was blushing hard, her heart thundering within her chest and she quickly sat back down in her chair, nervous, shy, and head-over-heels for this man. Looking up at him, her eyes glistened at him, very nervous and shy around him. She didn't know what to do or what to say, and that made her even more nervous. She was at a loss.

Ember looked into his eyes, her cheeks blushing a deep red at first, but slowly turned into a light blush, then she got up, took the chair, and moved it to around his desk, sitting right next to him. She felt it was awkward being far away from him so she got closer to him. With a shaky hand, Ember reached for his hand and gently help it, looking up at him, her face full of genuine emotion. " I like Tomoya. I'm just so used to calling you Tomoya-sama. " Ember was very open at the moment, will all of her feelings in Tomoya's trust. She trusted him with her life and her heart and it was far from changing. Ember wanted the same thing at Tomoya and wanted to be closer. Suddenly, she remembered that she wanted to make plans to go out and have dinner at a fancy restaurant with him. Ember looked down slightly and shyly looked around the floor. " U-um, Lark-sama, Shiiba, and Sinna all went on a vacation for a while and... well it will just be a few guardians here... S-so I-i was wondering... " Ember was blushing more, looking up at Tomoya having a soft look. " W-would you like to go out to a restaurant sometime soon? Y-you don't have to! I was just wondering like a day your not busy. " Ember was fiddling with her fingers, her cheeks as red as the strawberries on the cookies. She really wanted to spend more time with him, and she barely got that out of him being busy and such.

Ember was a bit shocked when Tomoya threw his unfinished paperwork into the trashcan, but when he kneed down to her and took her hands, the paperwork really didn't matter. Ember was blushed hard, very hard, as Tomoya grew close to her, right at her face. She felt like dying from the heat swelling up in her body. Ember's hands tremmbled in the sheer joy of Tomoya just being near her and when he spoke it felt like angels whispered to her. When he kissed her cheek, Ember sat there for a moment, and then leaned closer to Tomoya, having this strange sudden urge to kiss him, but she caught herself and pulled slightly back, her lips inches away from his. " I-i..." Ember stuttered, trying to explain what was going on through her confused head.

Ember felt her whole body heat up. She was very nervous and didn't know what to listen to: To her conscious which told her to kiss him, or her senses that said it would be a little embarrassing. She chose her Conscious. She leaned more forward and was blushing a little softer, but still a bucket load of blush. Her forehead pressed against his when she thought she had confidence to kiss him. It was so hard. She was scared, nervous, and yet excited and happy she felt these emotions with this man, and no other. " T-tomoya... C-can...? " Ember didn't know how to speak around him. This was just too amazing.

Ember couldn't help but feel the love within them spark just from such a gentle kiss. His kiss was so warm, so caring, so beautiful. She just wanted to instinctively wrap her arms around his neck and just sit there, but the kiss slowly parted, with invisible sparks crossing their lips. There nose were softly pressed against each others and both smiled. Ember felt so happy just be with him at this time, at this mansion, in this life with him. She was saved by this Prince in silver armor from her life of misery and fell in love. She fell in love. As Tomoya spoke in a soft, close whisper, it sent chills of blush through her body His words made her get all nervous, but she felt happy, joyful, grateful. " T-tomoya...." Ember looked positively cute when she was shy, having her head slightly down but still looking into his eyes. She fiddled with the cuffs of her sleeves as she blushed more and more each moment they looked into each other's eyes. He completed her, and he, and the family, were the only people she wanted to love. But that would grow to be the world she loved.

Everything went by so fast. The butler came in holding a phone with made Ember's heart disappointed, she wanted to be with him more, but he still had business and had to attend to it. Before she could even have the thought of getting up, Tomoya kissed her forehead and made her face turn a bright red, making her very embarrassed for Tomoya kissing her in front of someone she worked with in the house. She knew the butler now was going to play around to keep them apart like Romeo and Juliet, only when he was working. But for now, she wanted to stay in his office and, I hate to say this but... bother him, distract him from his work. She shouldn't, but that is what she wanted to do.
