Welcome to Gaia! ::

Silence...

It was all he'd get out of her, or what he could probably hope to get out of her. Why did they do this? Why were they so complicated to deal with, to share with, to live with?

"If you don't want to listen, I can understand, but there is method that I need to tell you about anyway. And unfortunately, you'll most likely have to hear it."

His words then faded away like fiery-wisp, much like his clothing and all the darkness in the room did as well. Instead, there was a brilliant light engulfing the entire room, blazing out the window in a shimmering light. What was left in the room were the two forms, though Airez's body had changed dramaticly, insanely so.

A transluscent fire covered his body like a shroud, while his features remained wholely human for the most part, save for his head. Features that were lacking were eyes, nose, a mouth, and ears. What was left was glowing flames as his eyes and a rather smooth visage. This was his true form, the form of his race that was but a secret to everyone else in existance, save for a few that were luck enough to be allowed visuality.

"Orphne..." came the voice, though only in her mind was his heard. Otherwise, the room was completely silent save for the rustling of items and the waving of the flame-like aura surrounding his body. "My race lacks the organs necessary for reproduction via your method..."

Turnind around, the body of the alien-like being faced the fragile frame of Orphne, looking down upon her as the flames began to steady down to a more even point of spark. His arms laid down to his sides, relaxed while watching the gril upon the bed.

"Our method involves energy transferral." His hand soon began to rise up, opening and outstretching in front of him, "Two of my kind will combine their energies into one form until a living creature of born, created by the melding of the pair."

Raising another hand, he peers at both of them before portions of his aura swept up into his palms, forming into two perfect orbs of energy. Each spun evenly while the man put them both together, forming a larger orb of energy. With this, he held it out and let it float into the air as he himself lowered his arms down to his sides once more, watching the white sphere spin quickly and fiercely.

"With this method, our species reproduces into a new being, a son or daughter between the two Guardians. Essentially, they become parents for that child until he or she can handle him or herself." contineued Airez as he held his hand out to the orb, eventually diminishing it. "It is different, is it not? And I was not born through this method, if you must know."

"I was different from the rest of them," mentioned Airez as the flames surrounding his head begans fading away, revealing his head once more to Orphne, knowing how scared she might be. And this time, he was allowing her the opportunity to listen, rather than force it into her mind. "There are only a few more like me in my race. So it gets lonesome, you can imagine."

And slowly, the flames went down lower and lower, dying out as the clothing reformed upon his body, only to sit down with sweat trickling down the skin of his back. His breath was uneven for a while, recovering from the sudden transformtion and then transforming back to his faux self. His eyes closed while her hair rested normally upon the top of his head.

He had to have her understand some how, to make her understand what went on with his life. Previously, he hardly talked about his past or his life in general. Always some sort of secret here or there, a unnoticed detail taken out of conversation. There were things he was comfortable telling to her, and things he would rather no one knew about. This was one of them.

"Unlike many you have met in your life, I hold no parental units what so ever. No mother, no father." mentioned the tired man, his eyes closed as a bead of sweat trickled down his cheek and dropped down upon the floor. His muscles stretched lightly as he made them do so before looking out the window once more, "I've had no family before, and I've been alone for a vast majority of my life."

Taking a deep breath from the air, Airez looked back at Orphne, and saw the sheer look of terror on her face from the recent showing of his true form to her. She wasn't used to it, not out of the blue like that. Though, he knew not how else he could reach out to her.

"So perhaps that's the reason why I am like this around others, untrusting, anti-social, and perhaps that's why I don't stay close to anyone for too long. Why I'm so very distant from others when it comes right down to it. " standing up, Airez went over to the window and looked outside at the sunlight, then turned to face Orphne, "You make it all different for me, for my life. You're the one I love and cherish most of all. You're the one that changed that all for me, the one to change me."

Stopping, he looked down at the floor and smiled, feeling his body cooling down immensely, "I rememebr when I first met you. I was a complete and utter jerk, yet you still stuck by me. It was astonishing for me, to have some one go out of their way to be with me, and for me to feel the same way about that same some one."

Closing his eyes, Airez took in a quick breath, preventing a harsh feeling from escape his body. To halt that awful gut wrentching feeling from pouring out and taking over his emotions. He didn't want to cry, not in front of her.

"I want to share with you something precious, but only if you'll let me and go through with a difficult method I've thought of, one involving something I figured out recently."

Watching Orphne yell consistantly, repeatedly, and at times; incoherently, Airez waited it out after blow to blow was sent upon his person. She didn't believe his story about having no parents. She didn't want to hear his history or life story. She didn't want to know about his reasons or his complications.

All she wanted was to have a baby.

After the pillow had been thrown, he had promptly caught it and looked down at the fluffy device. Afterwards, the majority of her words pretty much seemed like a blur to him for the most part. It was one way he managed to stay out of fights, just to tune things out and focus on other objects. Thus, he fluffed the pillow every now and then, seeming like he was ashamed but in truth he was just busying fluffing the pillow to make it more comfy.

About the time she started screaming about wanting a child, he looked up and watched as she balled onwards about the topic, where as he inspected the pillow once more, just one more time until she quit with her words, letting him go about with his own actions now.

So, he stepped forth slowly, menacingly, rather intimidatingly; until he was standing before her, looking down at the pillow. His form was sillouetted by the sunlight as he looked up and leaned over, planting a kiss upon Orphne's forehead quickly, then placed the pillow upon her lap, where as he laid his head down and nuzzled the extra soft cushioning with his cheek.

"You really are a confusing gender." spoke Airez finally, placing his hand upon Orphne's knee and ringing his index finger aorund and around her knee cap. "But that makes things interesting. I kind of wonder which we'll have, a boy or a girl..."

"We cna have a baby. And I guess..." Once agian, Airez stopped himself once more, knowing how Orphne took those kinds of words, "No... I want to have a child WITH you as well, Orphy-love. And I know how we can do so."

Rasing up his hand, he moved the sheet from the nymph's form and placed his hand against her navel, stroking his fingers lightly over her deep tanned skin. As he did so, lightly streams of energy were left behind, fading away against her skin gradually like water evaporating. It was like a bubbling, tingling feeling over his fingers and over her skin.

As he looked up, up into his love's eyes, there was a serious look upon his face as he rose to kiss her cheek, cupping the opposite side in his palm as he sat up and embraced her into his arms.

"Orphne... We can have a baby, and I want to have one with you. You asked the question and now I've said yes, because that's what I want. I don't have to stare at babies of others and secretly hope for one of my own. And I can be a good father, given the chance." spoke Airez as he nuzzled Orphne's forehead agianst his own. "It's all about the merging..."

Looking at the tired look Orphne gave, Airez smiled and leaned her in, kissing gently upon her cheek and up her jaw until he was at her ear, tempting it with his soft lips. Her body was very warm, very comforting to him now, seeing as how she was no longer angry or cross with him.

It was cute.

"Orphy..." he whispered lullingly, "I want to be the father of our child."

"Mm hmm..." murmured Airez while bringing his hand up and stroking through his love's ssilky, sleek hair some more, nowing how much she seemed to like when he did so, "I want to be the father of our child."

After repeating it, he pulled back and kissed tender over her cheek and forehead, letting the message sink in slowly and gradually. This is how he felt, what he really wanted for them to have. It felt right ot him that the two of them should share something so precious as a child in their life, and for it to be a part of both of them. Something about it seem so right to him.

Cradling her closer, the white haired man's eyes closed while kissing down the nymph's neck once more, letting her talk and feel the bliss that was in the air, concentrating on relaxing and calming her down, beofre wrapping his arms around her body completely, pressing chest to chest with her.

"I do..."

Smiling, Airez tempted the nymph's tender lips with another long, drawn out kiss, letting their smooth surfaces glide about in a tingling fashion before departing as she fell back in an array of plesantries. Not five minutes ago and she was crying and yelling at him about children, seeming to hate his ever living guts to the point of attacking him. And now, she was in blissful joy to th epoint of laying under him in exotic embraces.

Indeed, she was a puzzling creature to Airez, though he loved it ever so much how she went about it.

Down he went, caressing his hand over the bare waist of his lover while she searched his form with the tips of her digits. Her touch was smooth and had a sultry feel to it, like warm pie or breakfast pancakes dripped with maple syrup. At the moment, he thought of quite a few things he'd like to drip some maple syrup on right now.

"I love you too..." murmured the quaint person on top, dabbling her lips with kisses and along her velvety cheek, moving down along her lush neck then up to her tempting ear, nibbling gently on her earlobe. "It's fine, Orphy, I understand. And I'll get to my little plan in a moment. Before we talk technical, could we..."

Pulling back and hovering over the small frame of her body, pearl white eyes stared intently into those of the beautiful mate of his, admiring their allure and curiosity. His hand moved up and stroked her cheek before moving down and dragging lightly over her collar bone.

"...enjoy this morning together."

Purrs ellicted from deep inside of Airez as he leaned down and pressed fully against Orphne's body, trapping her lips into his and embracing around her torso to lock against her, not wnating to let go of her warm figure ever again. Though he slid his palm down along the bare, curve of her spine, lingering down over her panties while giving a gentle, if not, playful squeeeze upon the firm rear.
