>>A foolish fluff. She was acting like a foolish fluff. Solstice closed her shockingly green eyes as she sat down. And when they opened again...they were hard once more. The dragon reached out and took hold of a fork and took a bite of the pasta<< Don't get to used to it set >>She spoke softly. YES! The steel was back! Now she just had to avoid drinking to much of the wine and maybe if she was lucky she could lock herself in her house for the rest of the winter and it would all blow over<<

He was silent, quietly eatting.... he knew she was pushing him away, and didn't understand... but then he did. She didn't want to be waek, or have any weaknesses. Setting the fork down, he didn't even finnish before he whiped his mouth clean of the small bits of red sauce that collected along the sides of his lips.
His forked tongue dragging along just to make sure he got it all, he dabbed once more and set the napkin he'd grabbed over the bowl.
"Thank you... it was good." He spoke rather cold.
Was that to be the only moment they'd ever have? Was it all gone now? He hated the thought inside, but he'd put it off and be strong.
Slipping to let his serpant body carry him from the table, he took to his glass, downed the wine and moved from the table.
His large wings fluttering as his cold golden eyes locked back to her for a moment.
"Hopefully you'll grow from your fears and accept..." He stopped himself and sighed as he looked away.
"I hope it's not the last." Is what he spoke softly and repeated in his head.

>>Even as she finished she looked at the plate. What did he want from her? His comment almost made her wince. Yes...yes she was afraid. Terrified in fact, of being weak. Of showing such an emotion, to lean on anouther for strength all because of the thing called 'love'. And because she had shut herself away, she had grown wise. Her eyes weren't clouded by the constant search for romance and so she saw twice as much as anouther. Now she was open to the occasional flirtation session or a deep kiss or two. Possibly even a night in bed with someone. But she actually LIKED the hybrid. If she allowed herself to open up, he would be no fling. And then it would be only a matter of time until, oh no, she fell in love. She'd start to realize that she wasn't the only one in the world, that she could ease her burden a little a bit. And that would lead her to not be so interdependent and what would happen when something big rolls along? She wouldn't know how to handle it anymore and end up leaning on Set for support and she would lean more and more and- Curse it, was she over thinking this? She was right...right? The dragon reached out and took a decent pull on her wine, repressing a sigh<< no...not the last. >>and THAT was the closest mr. shirtless was going to get to her admitting anything about her feelings towards him<<

She was deep in thought, and he knew it. He didn't want her to be so confused, he wanted her to honestly love him.. he wanted it since he was a teen.... their minds mended together, his body honestly longed for her... and he wanted her in ways he despized other women. To have her on his arm, to have her smile at him and be his.. love. But... she was fickle like himself, stubborn to the bone.
"I'm thankful for that..." His tone softened as he turned his gaze from her. "Maybe one day... we can end the hiding... and the faking and trying to convince ourselves that... love can't work. Because it can when the people work..." His eyes shifted as his head stayed in place... but he watched her. "Then the love is all that much more worth it." He shifted to move form the kitchen back to the fireplace.
"If you wish to speak with me... then come join me with the bottle of wine by the fire, Solstice"

>>As soon as he was gone she stood, taking their empty plates to the sink. She took her time washing it, taking more care then needed to clean them. He jumped from caring for her to love. He jumped from caring to love. Well, he didn't say that he loved her but he kept talking about it. Solstice watched the water drain as she put away the clean dishes. Her startling green eyes landed on the merlot wine bottle. Should she...shouldn't she...should she...shouldn't she... Well...the least she could do...is talk to him...if just...for a little bit. The dragon took the bottle into her hands before getting her glass and slowly walking into the main room again. She didn't move to him next to the fire. Too close. But stayed about five feet from him<< Its...not that I am afraid that...it will not work. >>She looked away from him, a light blush appearing on her pale skin at the deep admission<< I'm afraid that it will.

He honestly didn't think she'd come out with him... so he relaxed beside the fire, his tail curled up comfortably about him as he relaxed. Noticing the female returning to him and standing her distance with the bottle, he slowly uncoiled his tail and reached; slipping the bottle form her and brought it to him, holding it and retreaving ehr glass to poor her more.
Giving her glass back, he poored another for himself and took a sip before setting the bottle beside him.
"Why's that?" He asked softly, his eyes locked to her.

>>She was afraid that he would say that. Solstice slowly took a sip of her wine, a feeble attempt to gain more time, if just a second. The dragon let her own green eyes meet his golden<< Because I'll become that which I hate most.

He couldn't help but let a soft snicker lift his lips into a smirk.
"Oh, you mean a 'fluf' as you would say?" He snickered softly once again and drew his lips to meet with the edge of the glass again. He didn't mean to offend her, but it was a kidh-ish way of putting 'girly' or 'emotional' in his eyes.
The rattle at the end of his serpant body gave a soft shake as he drew in a deep and enjoyable gulp of the wine... but very politely.
"We're all 'fluf' in some way, Solstice... how we control it is up to us... we can hide it amongst ourselves.... amongst close friends, or everyone. But if you're scared of being alone.... having me.... don't be."
It seems like all this was just so easy for him to say, that he was so calm and collected... but his heart was racing.. and if he had sweat glands, he'd be sweatting.... he was scared, yet he hid it the best he could.

>>She shot him a cool look at his snicker. A kiddish name for a childish emotion. After all, only children should be weak. Cold words rose to her lips, nearly forming 'I dont need you, I dont need anyone.' But she bit them back. Her eyes nearly darted away from his, her legs, tense to bolt at any moment. She could do it. Oh how easily she could just run away right then and never be seen again. The dragon moved, but surprisingly it wasn't away. Solstice sat beside him, crossing her legs and softly closing her eyes to take a sip of her wine<< What do you want from me? >>She murmered, eyes reopening slightly to look into the dark red liquid<<

Noticing the coldness being emitted from the female, he couldn't help but smile a bit more. He got under her skin... how cute.... but in the same instance, he feared her running. When she moved, he was about ready to dart out and catch her from fleeing form him. But to his amazement, she moved closer to him.
He felt a knot in his throat as she spoke so calmly. Moving his serpant body to lightly roll up to stroke her wing, he sighed softly.
"I want you to be happy." He spoke lightly as his hand lingered from his glass to lift her chin slowly and gently... hoping she'd look to his eyes instead of the wine.
"I've only wanted you to be happy.... I wanted to make you happy... even if it means leaving you alone for the rest of time, I'll do it os long as you're happy... and I don't care how foolish and stupid it sounds to you, it's what I want; and much like you... I'll get what I want no matter the cost. We're both stubborn.... and very much alike... but you're the one who's scared... and I only want you happy."

>>She shivered slightly at the touch on her wing, an unaccostomed but not nessisarily unwanted feeling. And as he lifted her face to have her bright green eyes look at him, he could feel her tremble slightly. She wasn't nearly as kept togeather as she let on. Her lips curved ever so slightly in a smile as she tried to repress the tremble<< How boring. I was thinking I'd get a 'to trust a little' or possibly an arrogant 'to be with me' and I get happiness. >>Cold words, cold biting words...that conflicted so greatly with the soft tone. Conflicted with the tremble of her body at his touch, conflicted with her almost...gental eyes<<

The gentle tremble of her body against his touch, he perked his brow. Biting words did nothing to him, but snap a come back out of whit... a natural thing for him.
"Maybe that's what you want deep inside to have heard me say." His own tone light, but the words having their own bite.
Lowering his head a bit, his lips drew near to her ear as he slightly closed those cold hues.
"When in fact, I know inside you want it.... you crave for the love... you want to have someone, but don't. It's a two faced thing, much like ourselves...." He spoke in a whisper before moving away a bit to look into her eyesl his thumb gently rolling along her chin and lower lip.
He wasn't going to push himself onto her, he'd just comfort her in a manner that no one else could... with physicality.

stare thats what you think >>she muttered childishly, having utterly no idea what she could shoot back at that. The dragons body twitched slightly as if to move closer to him before stilling again. What did he know? Appearently more then she did. She loathed the touch of another unless she allowed it. Her body didn't know what it was like to be enveloped in a hug and was only somewhat familiar with a lovers caress. Even with a fling she seldom let them touch her. And yet she didn't draw back. Set was being daring, very daring. He was dancing on the line between too much and too little, shifting as needed with her change of thoughts and emotions<< One should never make assumptions >>there was her smart comeback!<<

Pulling back, he sighed and nodded.
"You have a point... maybe I am just jumping to conclusions." He moved further from her, closer to the flames that heated his snake like atributes. Granted when snakes get warm.. they move faster, if she tried to flee him.. he would be able to catch her no problem... but he hoped that wouldn't be the case.
Taking another sip of his wine, a deep sigh escaped his lips.
"I'm not asking you to love me right away, or to be mine... shouldn't that be good enough for a woman who fears both? I'm only asking you to be happy. Appearently, I'm not doing such a good job at it... then again... you're the first girl I've taken a shine to. I don't love you, don't get me wrong... but I do like you alot. Honestly... I wouldn't mind trying with you... I'm a very pantient person and can deal with the things many other people can't.... like your spark and whit. But... be it if I'm not the one for you... I hope someone will be more of a man then me."
A short spill of his thoughts.... now if she was the woman in his mind.. she'd most likely make fun of this, or say nothing... granted if she did make fun, it wouldn't be too good of a time to since he himself was exposing his heart. tampering with a demonic blooded heart isn't wise... especially with Myaku's blood in his veins.

Dissapointing >>solstice whispered as he pulled away from her. He was running from her? Finally a turn of the tables<< You seem to actually care about this...and when you care for something, shoot for the moon. Your landing wont be far from it. >>She smoothly stood, setting down her glass of wine. Her pale skin glowed in the firelight, his movement away from her emboldening the dragon<< And yet you speak of me finding anouther man instead of being certain of yourself. You are who you think you are. If you believe you have what it takes to hold me in your arms, then give it a try. But if you are too hesitant to do more then a teasing stroke of a wing, then you are no more then what you now say. >>Her trembling stopped. He was the fire that melted the cold around her, but the instant the fire was gone, she was as ryota would say... 'an ice queen'<< Which are you? >>She sharply pivioted on a heel, midnight hair flowing behind her as she started to quickly walk from the couch<<
