If he was going to start making her mad and push her away now was an excellent opportunity. He wanted to lie about it, say it was something else, but instead he foolishly went with the truth. "Well.....neither." He said a bit sheepishly if that were even possible. "I kind of rented us a hotel room. I made sure to outfit it with stuff to do. There are games and snacks." His normal confidence just didn't seem to be there as he tried to grin.
----
Mitsu giggled at the kisses to her neck. She was still just as ticklish, drunk or not. "Y..yeah. Why wouldn't I...be?" Looking down then she saw his hands playing with the bottom of her shirt. Slow wheels started to turn that hardly ever worked to begin with. Did he mean....? Nervously she touched his hand but didn't say anything further. She had already agreed, it wasn't like they hadn't.....done this before. Why did she still feel so nervous though? Why did her heart leap into her throat and threaten to run off?

The 'neither' caught her off guard... But the rest left her momentarily dumbfounded.
He...
Had rented a hotel room...
And hadn't told her until JUST now. Obviously because she wouldn't have agreed to come out if she'd known that's where they'd end up in the first place. Looking up at him with an unimpressed look, her arms retreated back and folded in front of her. "Were you expecting something from me later?" Riyo's mind automatically went to the thoughts of what couples usually did when a hotel room was rented, not any other possibilities.
---
Desmond felt her heartbeat increase significantly as she apparently understood what he was getting at. Maybe this wasn't going to work out like he'd hoped. Pulling his hands back, he let himself fall to rest half-way on the bed, his feet dangling off. "It's alright Mitsu. You don't have to do anything you don't want to."

"No," Mitsu said softly putting on a smile as she turned toward him. It made her nervous but..."I trust you." She knew a little of what to expect this time, though the lack of the haze around her mind was hard to ignore. It had been so much easier last time when the alcohol had rid her mind of embarrassment, shame, and doubt. It was so much harder to be forward about anything without it and even now she couldn't help but draw her legs up on the bed holding them to herself.
----
"I'm not going to lie I had hoped," Klyde said honestly. Way to keep the ball rolling you mindless vampire. "But I would never make you do anything you didn't want to do. I would hope you would at least believe that." When she drew back Klyde hesitated before he did as well.

Desmond looked back up at her, face remaining neutral even after she agreed. "Then why don't you drive this time?" he asked, sitting up long enough to grab a remote off his nightstand and flipping on a barely noticeable stereo. The music was ambient. Nothing hardcore or erotic, just calm, wordless music. Before he laid back down, he removed his shirt and started a pile on the floor. "that way we don't go too fast for you."
------
The saying 'honesty is the best policy' didn't really apply to this situation. In fact, she would've preferred he'd said 'nope. didn't expect nothin' at all. Just wanted to spend time with you."
"I dunno about this..." She mumbled, looking away. She would've said 'no' out right, but she remembered how much trouble he'd gone for everything. "I didn't even bring anything for a... sleepover." That's what it was after all...

Her.....drive? Mitsu's eyes went wide when she realized she had no idea what to do. How to start. The ideas that had come to her before on that night seemed lost in some corner of her mind. Turning a bit toward him she looked at his exposed torso an unsure hand coming out to touch him before it retracted back. Without the alcohol she wasn't nearly as adventurous or bold.
"I...I'm sorry." She said softly turning away a bit so that he couldn't see her face. Her head was swimming in doubt and she felt confused. "I'm sorry." She mumbled again as if she had forgotten she had already said it. "I'm just not...very good at this."
-----
Klyde smiled a bit of his usual confidence showing through. "Don't worry about it. We can just go to relax and get away from the people. We don't have to stay. Besides, I can get you anything you might need." He grinned a hand reaching back out to her to take her hand.

Desmond quietly sat up as she started apologizing. It really wasn't rocket science, but he wasn't about to say anything about it. "Well then." His hands tightly wrapped around her, pulling the girl to him and letting his back lay flat on the mattress once again. "We can always just lay here until you decide you'd like to do something else." As much as he'd like to do something, it wouldn't really be that great if she wasn't into it. Generally, he really didn't care about things like that... But seeing her happy and knowing he had caused it made it worthwhile.
Which made him wonder just how bad he'd feel come Halloween night...
---
Riyo looked at his hand momentarily before taking his hand and smiling. "I think going clothes shopping with you would be a dangerous idea indeed." She could only imagine the things he'd try to put her in... "Alright. Lets go." She caved in, shaking her head at her own words. She could only imagine how poorly things would end if her mother found out about it.

"Eh?" Mitsu's eyes grew wide again as she felt herself being pulled back until she was laying on top of Desmond. Tilting her head back she tried to look at his face which she found a little difficult. "O...okay." Her cheeks were already flushed in shades of pink feeling Desmond's much cooler body under her's.
Shifting slightly she turned around to face him, her arms lightly resting on his chest to hold herself up. Curious eyes traced his face while slender fingers moved up to play with a few strands of blonde hair. She seemed content like this, her body slowly relaxing as her large crimson orbs settled on Desmond's cobalt blue ones. "Why are you so kind to me?" She asked rather randomly, her tone not suggesting much. It was a simple question that she hoped to understand. He was so handsome and outgoing, he could be with anyone he wanted...so why was he with her?
----
"It's a shame you think that way," Klyde finally grinned. "I think I have excellent taste in clothes." At least he knew what he liked to see. Smiling broadly as she finally agreed he pulled her close. "Okay then, lets go."
He lingered for a moment longer at the gazebo, glad he had gotten a chance to show her something nice. From there he led her to the hotel, a rather fancy looking place filled with modern decor. He didn't stop at the desk, he already had the key. Earlier that day he had been in the room stocking it with stuff that might be amusing. Leading her to the elevator they went up a few floors to where the suites were. There he showed her the room he had procured, opening the door and allowing her to step inside first.
The room itself was huge, nearly a small apartment in comparison. An overstuffed couch sat in front of the large tv, snacks and random games sitting on the coffee table. A large king bed sat in the back corner and down a sort hallway was the bathroom which had a shower and a hot tub. Fancy didn't seem to begin to cover it.
"What do you think?" Klyde asked as he walked in behind her closing the door.

Desmond smiled at the feel of her fingers through his hair, closing his eyes and resting his hands on her hips. Why was he so nice to her? It had started out as a facade... But the more sands that passed through the hourglass he wanted so desperately to break, the more he couldn't help admiring everything about her.
"You really don't give yourself enough credit." His hands slipped under her shirt, but his fingers didn't stray. They stayed put and enjoyed the feel of her warm skin. "Mitsu. Do you realize how fake people are? How desperately they try to fit in, even if it means sacrificing whatever they believe in?"
His body shifted slightly under her, cobalt blue orbs staring up at her again. "You don't try to be somebody else. Even if people scoff at you for it, it's just because they're jealous that they can't do the same. All those pretty girls you see walking through the halls? Most of them have ugly insides just below the surface. Putting expensive clothes and makeup on a rat doesn't change the fact that it's a rat, after all." He supposed it was hypocritical of him to say all this stuff... Since he was just like them. Or maybe it made him the voice of experience.
"So you don't fit the general consensus of beauty. That doesn't mean a damn thing. All I see when I look at you is something amazing. It's everybody else's loss if they don't see the same."
----
Riyo felt slightly intimidated when he took her to this big ritzy hotel, trying not to make herself sick at the thought of how much money he'd probably spent tonight...
The feeling deepened as he opened the door to the room, disbelief very apparent. "Holy..." Was all she could manage to say as she hesitantly stepped in and looked around. "One: I've never seen a bed that big. Two: Christ, how much did you spend on this?" Eyes wide open as she looked around, her feet took her down the small hallway, peeking into the bathroom. "T-they put hot tubs in hotel rooms?" Sadly, she'd figured that kind of thing was only in the movies. It wasn't like she'd been in many hotels to begin with... But the ones she'd stayed in left a lot to be desired.
It took her a second to get over the initial 'holy s**t' factor before she realized something.
Returning from the hallway, she looked at him, then at the bed. "T-there's only one bed." So he HAD expected something out of this...

Mitsu shifted slightly at the feel of his cool fingers on her skin. It was probably a bad idea considering where her own hips were located but she didn't give that much thought. At the moment she was soaking up his words. She hadn't really been fishing for compliments and she hoped that's not what he thought as he told her all these things. But those pretty little words left her heart fluttering in her chest as she smiled softly.
"You really know how to boost the self esteem." Mitsu said softly with a smile as she looked at his eyes. At least he had a wonderful way with words. To bad she wasn't able to do the same, everything sounded awkward in her head. "I really want to be more outgoing...for you. Show you how much you mean to me." She continued her eyes loosing focus as they turned to his collar bone. Her cheeks seemed to be on fire at this point as she traced a circle on his chest. "You've helped me a lot, Desmond. I've never had anyone care about me so much. You're honest and gentle and you're willing to take things slow for my sake." Shyly she looked back up at him. "Will you tell me what to do for you?" It could easily imply any number of things though her body language nor her tone gave way to anything.
-----
Klyde chuckled as she took in the room. It was like a kid in the candy store. "Don't worry about the cost. It's not a concern." Nor would his parents care. They gave him a hefty allowance every month to play with. When she came back out of the bathroom, her focus on the bed Klyde nodded. "Yes, only one bed. But the couch folds out so I have no problem taking that if we stay." It would really suck but he would still do it.
"So just relax a little huh?" He smiled as he wandered over to the couch and had a seat. Patting the spot next to him he continued. "Do you want to watch some movies, play games? I have plenty of stuff here." His grin deepened a little. "We can always take a shower together." Again.

Desmond knew Mitsu was trying to compliment him, but it felt like she was stabbing him in the chest. Honest... Gentle... She really didn't know anything about him, did she? When she shifted, he flinched, though he tried to ignore those physical feelings in favor of the moment. "I'm not as honest as you'd like to think... But I promise that I've at least been truthful about my feelings for you." He reached up to touch those red cheeks, enjoying the warmth they provided his cold skin. "There'll be a time when you don't believe that... And I won't blame you... But... I hope you can remember this conversation when that time comes." His still heart felt like it wanted to explode the more he thought about it. The only relationship containing substance he ever had with a girl was built on the foundation of a lie. "That's what you can do for me. Remember this moment, no matter what happens."
----
The thought of him sleeping on the couch made her feel guilty. He had spent all this money on making sure her night was perfect (even though it hadn't been, but he'd really tried), and Klyde was still ready to rough it on the pull-out bed.
That thought trailed off when he mentioned the shower, cheeks immediately reddening. "I... Dunno about that." With a nervous smile, she sat next to him on the couch and kicked her boots off. Damn, that felt good. "What do you want to do?" She asked without thinking, temporarily forgetting how perverted Klyde was.

Mitsu's expression slowly lapsed into worry as Desmond spoke. Bringing up her hand she rested it against his gently, looking into his eyes trying to find an answer as to why he had just said that. "D...Desmond. What do you mean? You make it sound like something bad is going to happen." Her expression was teetering toward fearful as she gripped the hand that touched her. "You're not leaving are you?" Maybe he was going to be transferred...but then she might not see him again. Who would be her comfort then? Her safe place to retreat to at the end of the day when Suto was done with her. She knew she was selfish to think of him that way, but she really felt like she could be safe with him. It made her wish she could tell him what was going on, let him fully understand, but she feared he might not even be safe from the scientist's grasp.
----
Klyde smirked a bit wrapping an arm over Riyo's shoulder as she sat down. "To bad." He grinned as he turned to the TV, grabbing the remote with his other hand. "I could probably think of a few things." He purred, the arm around her shoulder shifting so that his hand could come up to rub her ear. Even in his drunken haze he had been able to retain this little bit of juicy information. "But this is your night, what would you like to do?"

Guilt rose from Desmond's stomach like a fungus, almost choking him as he saw the fear in her eyes. It was at that point he wanted to tell her everything. About Nami and Tessa's cruel idea... And how his thoughts of her greatly differed from then and now.
"No Mitsu. I'll be here for as long as you want me to be." He assured, a weak smile trying to make the both of them feel better. She deserved so much better. Somebody who could really take care of her instead of feeding off her like a leech.
But he couldn't bring himself to just let her go. Like Klyde, he was selfish. "No matter what happens, you'll be welcome right here."
----
Riyo rolled her eyes as he mentioned 'a few things'. Yeah, she bet he could... Though that thought melted away at the feel of his fingers caressing her ears. She let out a soft gasp and seemed to slump over. "Ohh... I hate you..." Though her tone did not reflect her words. Shifting to her side, she curled her her legs on the couch and scooted close to him, hands sliding up under his shirt. "What kind of games did you bring?" She asked softly, a soft purr accompanying her words.

Her expression softened a little at his reply, the fear slowly fading away. A warm smile touched her lips as she gave a nod wrapping her arms around Desmond's neck to hug him close. Would it really be so bad to be closer to the person that made you feel safe? The only thing she truly feared was that everything would change, but couldn't it possibly change for the better?
And what was this feeling exactly? She knew she liked Desmond. When he was close she felt calm and safe, but just now when she thought he would be gone...her heart had threatened to stop. There had been fear. She didn't want him to disappear. "I don't want you to ever disappear." She finally said speaking her inner thoughts. "You are my safe haven, I don't know what I'd do."
---
Klyde managed another chuckle hearing her words as she slumped forward. Apparently his assumption had been correct, this was a heck of a charm. He should have tried this earlier. "There are a few different video games, there are cards, dice, and even a board game or two." His smile broadened as her hand trailed up his shirt. In gleeful retaliation his other hand went to work and softly caressed her other ear.

If Desmond hadn't been the generic 'crying is for wimps' kind of guy, he probably would've teared up as soon as Mitsu wrapped her arms around his neck. A little shakily, his arms made their way up either side and held her tightly to him. A safe haven... He'd never been called that...
"Mitsu..." He whispered her name, trying to swallow his sadness. "You're amazing."
----
When the second hand came up, Riyo closed her eyes, the audible purr from her throat increasing in volume. "Cool." Not that she'd really heard anything he'd said. Her body shifted so that it draped over his legs, while her own hung off the arm of the couch. "I could fall asleep like this." She sighed, fingers fiddling with the buttons on his shirt.

Her tail began to sway a bit as she felt his arms envelope her and hold her close. With a contented sigh she pulled back a little placing a light kiss in his cheek. She didn't catch the sadness in his voice as he spoke, otherwise she might have questioned what was wrong. "I still feel I should do something for you." Her nervousness didn't seem to have as great a hold of her as it did before. "Are you hungry?" She asked tugging at the collar of her shirt lightly. Apparently she didn't think much of being bitten anymore...there were worse things. Far worse things.
---
Klyde allowed her to freely move into his lap as he continued to rub at her ears. It didn't appear that she was too interested in anything he had just said which was completely fine with him. "Would you like a massage?" He asked playfully. "I could rub your back and shoulders."
