Welcome to Gaia! ::

Slowly the meal dissapeared and his stomach filled up, just as Cirrus put down her chopsticks down, he was thinking about doing the same thing. Smiling he set his own utensils down and lifted his hand to signal to the waitress. She nodded at him and waved, still at another table, he nodded and turned back to Cirrus.

"I follow you lead Lady." The term had become a title and a habit now. The waitress came over and gave him the ticket. He fished his wallet out of his pocket and pulled out some yens. Counting he put a bit more than the correct amount down. "I'm ready when you are ma'am."

Walking beside her through the streets, Kade resisted putting his arm around her, his logical mind telling him they had just met, and couldn't possibily already be at that comfort level. He followed along beside her, talking and enjoying her company. When they finally stopped, Kade looked up, he had not really been pay attention to where they were going, paying too much attention to Cirrus.

Looking beyond Cirrus through the ornate gates his eyes softened further at the sight. He knew the word Sakura, the word for Cherry blossoms, but he had as of yet to have seen them in the country. Drawing up beside Cirrus, he put his arm around her waist unconciously and looking back down at her he smiled.

"It is very beautiful." Looking into soft silver eyes, he forgot about the cherry blossoms for a moment. Tightening his grip around her wiast lightly, more a soft squeeze he guided them through the gates and to a near by bench. Sitting he kept his arm around her, fitting her into the curve of his side so perfectly.

He felt her sigh, and though he could feel her heart beating a bit fast, his own heart was a bit erratic as well. It had been some years since he had found a girl he really liked, and he had never had such an instant connection with any one; it was nice. Cirrus didn't seem like other girls that he had to impress and cater to, it seemed he had always had to do something else to keep the girl happy. With Cirrus, it seemed that just being together was enough, and that was perfect for his way of thinking.

He heard her soft proclamation and his lips curved into a soft smile. He didn't reply, rather he laid his lips on her head, inhaling her sweet smell, a soft kiss on her head and a smile and he moved back. Reaching across his lap he took one her hands and held it between them. He liked this, he liked just being here and not caring what time it was, where he had to be, or what he had to say. It was indeed a perfect day.

Kade felt her pull away a bit and loosened his hold on her so she could move away if that was what she wanted. When she looked up at him, he looked down at her, and the soft look on her face and the sweetness that was Cirrus, it was liable to make him melt, he just smiled waiting for her words. At the proclamation of gratitude a soft brow rose in question, he knew she wasn't thanking him for paying for dinner, he was at a bit of a loss what exactly she was thanking him for.

"Your welcome sweet heart." He said lightly. "But I should be the one saying thank you." And it was true, he hadn't had such a soft day in a long time, even living with his Pop there was alawys something to make the day move too fast. "What are you thanking me for Lady?" He asked, an unconcious hand coming up to give her platinum locks a soft affectionate tug. There was something else there, something he, still just on the edges of knowing her, was unaware of.

He wanted to know everything about her, he wanted to keep all worry and pain from her eyes, protect her from everything and just be there for her, and he didn't know why; but he didn't care.

Kade smiled down at her at her admission and was about to say something to the effects of him being grateful as well, but she suddenly went cold. He could have asked what he did wrong, but he know he didn't do anything. Instead he reached out his hand to reclaim hers, not restricting it, but rather getting her attention.

"Whats wrong Cirrus?" He asked, mostly casually but with only a tinge of aprehension for her. In some cases, he would have let the person blos off what ever foul wind had blown over them, but this case was differnt, or he would like it to be differnt. He needed, and wanted Cirrus to know that she could talk to him about anything, she didn't have to hide from him if she didn't want to. But again he didn't wanna push her.

Kade was a bit confused for a moment, well actually more than that, by her explantion that she thought that her brother was mad at her. He thought about him and Laurel, and while they didn't know what the other was thinking, they could generally be counted on to have a good hunch despite their distance. It seemed people who had lived together for so long they got a feeling.

"Do we need to go?" He asked genuinely. It seemed she was worried for his saftey, he hid a sardonic smile, but of course they had just met, and he kept his past to the past. "If you are worried and want to go thats fine." He cradled the hand that came up to touch his face. "But don't worry on my account." He took the hand and kissed her lightly on the palm.

The warmth of her soft lips on his cheek sparked a warmth in his chest, and he lifted his hand free of hers to cradle her face and keep her close. "Belive me, as much as this day has meant to you, it has been the same for me." His thumb caressed her cheek lighlty, with her so close he wanted to kiss her, more than just the cheek, but he was determined to wait. "But if are you worried about your brother, I will gladdly go back with you." He had a feeling that if she went back along, the boy might give her a bit of undue harrassment as was the want of some brothers, and he wasn't about to let that happen on his account.

He stood then, smoothly pulling her up beside him, just because they were going back didn't mean he was going to give up being close to her. His arm retuned to encircle her waist. Looking down at her, he couldn't resis, he beant down and laid his lips just below her eye kissing her cheek. "It is totally up to you what we do Lady." He meant that, he wasn't going to do anything unless she wanted to do it, he wasn't going to push himself on her, no matter how inviting her lips look and how much he wanted to hold her against him and just kiss her.
