Welcome to Gaia! ::

Deirdra listened to him as he moved some of her hair back in place. She smiled contently while closing her eyes, just relaxing and hearing the silence between them. She doenst even remember the last tiem she felt so comftorable with someone. It made her feel a whole lot better, expeccially when he spoke his last comment.

It rang through her pointy ears and her eyes suddenly opened back up, staring up at the sky and narrowing slightly. The blush that used to be on her face returned, clashing with the paleness of her skin. Deirdra still had a smile spreading from her small lips accross her face. She didn't really know what to say, so she just said what was most practical.

"Oh.. T-Thank you.." She said, stuttering slightly. Deirdra bit her bottom lip a little. She started to get a weird feeling in her stomach, not like being sick, but something else that she had never really felt before.

Deirdra felt herself get pulled closer to him as his arms went around her shoulders. She just looked up innocently into his eyes, though a small smile still accross her lips, her eyes searched into his as if trying to find his inner soul. But her concentration was broken when she felt his soft lips place themselves on her forehead. Her eyes opened up widely and she let in a breath of air as she kept her eyes glued on his.

She wasnt as surprised though as she thought she would be. But, she had that feeling again, though stronger this time. Her heart was lifted up as he lifted up his lips from her forehead. After a few moments of silence and staring into eachother's eyes, his voice was heard about to say something, but then quickly got cut off.

Her eyes closed as he kissed her forehead once more. In her heart she knew what he was about to say, and she could feel it. Even though, she had never really felt "love" before, she knew exactly what it was. "Shien...." She spoke quietly, her eyes opening once more as she stared into his directly. Her hands were shaking a little because of her nervousness returning from these past few moments. Deirdra couldnt really help it, but she tried to stay as calm as possible.

Deirdra felt herself get suddenly lifted up off of the bench and pulled up closer to Shien's body as she was turned to face him. Her eyes journeyed from his chest and up to his eyes. Her shaking hands were found by his one hand and they ceased to shake, feeling his warmth flow through them. His smell went around him, mixing with her soft scent of flowers on a rainy day, and into her senses. She never really minded the smell of cigarettes, almost like it even. And the mint mixed in with it made it an even more distinct smell that she liked.

By this time her heart felt like it was flying and her stomach was full of butterflies. She closed her eyes for a moment and opened them back up, just to be looking back into his.

Is this... What love feels like?

She asked herself in her head. It was so strange to her yet so welcoming. And before she knew it she felt his warm, soft lips against hers. Deirdra's eyes slowly closed and she felt herself getting closer and closer to his body. Her eyes suddenly widened as she felt something on her back and against her own bat-like wings. She looked behind him and saw that it was his black, feathery wings. A small smile spread on her lips as she looked back into his eyes.

"Shien... I.. I..." She started to speak as she was failing to say what she felt, just like he had. She felt secure in his arms and welcomed it all so willingly, unlike she usually did. "I.. Love you..." Deirdra blushed greatly and turned her head slightly from him so he couldnt see her blushing. Her hair went slightly into her eyes as she did so.

Shien's head swam slightly as he watched her, smiling even more as she turned her head to hide her blush. He pressed his lips against her cheek softly, his own blush now allowing him to speak at the moment. He felt like his stomache was trying to dance inside him, and his heart was hammering faster then he'd felt before, even in the heat of a fight, never had he felt like this..So warm. So peaceful. So loved. The words rang from ear to ear as she said it, and he opened his mouth slightly.

He pulled her hands up, placing them gently on his shoulder so he could wrap both arms around her waist. He gently lessend his wing's grip on her, and said in a wavering, low voice "Deirdra..." it seemed once again his words had failed him, but instead he gently pressed a kiss to her temple, and finished it "I love you too.." he let out a contented sigh into her hair, then pulled her up higher so that their faces were level, and lifted an arm to gently tilt her face fully into view for another, stronger kiss. His hand then found it's way to her back, joining his wings in pressing her into the kiss gently.

Deirdra rested her arms on his shoulders now, having both of his arms hold her up around her waist. She brought her gaze back over to his eyes like they were before, still slightly brushing even more from the kiss on the cheek. Everytime his lips touched her, her heart seemed to leap up and skip a beat.

She just waited for his reply, her heart racing even more in the hopes that he would return it as well. And, her wish seemed granted in the end when he spoke those words that she had been waiting for. The smile on her face widened more and her heart took an even bigger leap as she heard it ring through her pointy ears.

Deirda felt herself being lifted up even more, now looking straight into his eyes since she was leve with him now which was rarely ever the case since she was so short. Her eyes searched over his face for a moment before resting back on his eyes. She was pushed forward in more and her hands grasped onto his shoulders as their lips met once more. Her eyes closed again and she put a little more deepness into the kiss just as he did, following his every move. Since of course, she was knew to all of this and was almost being seduced by him you could say.

His wings also was something that surprised her even more. She never would have that that he was an angel. Expeccially since she was a demon from hell. Who would have thought? It surprised her so much that in her heart, it started to weigh it down slightly from its earleir happiness, now that she thought about it. Their love was technically forbidden.

Shien smiled gently as he slowly sank down onto the grass, eventully sitting cross-legged with her resting infront of him. His wings slowly folded back behind him, fluttering once in a while. He kissed her forehead as he pulled her into his lap, his arms wrapped gently around her shoulders. He lifted a hand and brushed some of the hair out of her face, pushing it softly behind her horns. His hand then gently ran across the smooth horn, letting go at the tip. He pressed his forehead against hers gently, gazing deeply into her eyes.

He noted the small glimmer of..uncertainty in her eyes. He blinked a few times, then mentally slapped himself. "Hey..Deirdra..you ok? This is..ok with you..?" he asked, his voice wavering at the end. He felt his stomache turn to lead slightly. He felt like he'd been forcing her into it, which he hoped he hadn't. His wings once again snaked about and pressed against her back gently. In this sitting position, it acctually seemed like his wings had covered her entirely, as well as him.

Abaddon sighed and signed for the weapons and munitions, yet another dissapointment in a long life of let downs.

"Allright, ill take what you've got, now, for the matter of payment, i don't know what it is, but it's red, and magical... so I figured you might know what it is and want it.

Abaddon then proceded to produce a stainless steel hipflask from within his trenchcoat, opned the top, and handed it to Graves. Then waited in anticipation.
