Welcome to Gaia! ::

After hearing the knock on the door, Aya got up and opened it. She was still crying, but she felt that having him there might help. "Come in..." She went back to her bed and sat down beside the keyboard. She reached out to it, as if she would make the music return.

"Not really... no" She said. She was starting to calm down again, but there were still tears. She wiped them away and took a deep breath. "I came to study for a tech school. I was hoping to be a mechanic after college, and I've always enjoyed working with my hands." But now, she may have to change her plans.

Aya was quick to respond. "No, its my fault... I wanted to kiss you... Actually, I wanted more than that, so much more, and that's what scared me so much..." She trembled again at the thought.

She turned and hugged him. Embraced, really. She buried her head in his chest and just cried. Everything that was happening, all the emotions that were threatening to drive her into depression or suicide, she let them out there and then. It was dark out, and the clock read 10:51. They were both probably feeling tired, but Aya was still having her emotional breakdown, and that was really the only thing keeping her awake.

Eventually, exhaustion took over as she cried herself to sleep. The tears still flowed, but she was quiet. Perhaps sleep would help ease her mind.

The night passed like that. His presence oddly gave Aya a sense of peace as she slept. When dawn broke, she woke up to find him in her bed beside her. She was surprised and almost screamed, but she managed to keep quiet. She watched him sleep for a few minutes. He looked so attractive lying there. She wanted to kiss him. She leaned close to do so...

Aya kept the kiss brief. They needed to prepare for school after all. "Good morning." She said with a smile. "I'll go make breakfast and let you get ready." She got up and went to the kitchen. Today felt much different. It felt like peace had finally come to soothe her. She made french toast, bacon, and waffles. The smells were already drifting throughout the dorm by the time she started pulling out plates.

((I think I did, but I need to set up the IM thing before we can do that.))
Aya smirked at him. "I lived by myself after my parents divorced. After a while I moved into a boarding house with my two best friends. We shared all the responsibilities there. Every day, one of the three of use did the cooking, and it was a different person for each day." She set a plate for him and started on hers. When he kissed her head and touched her waist, she almost turned around and kissed him. She managed to avoid that and just blushed, but finished making her plate and went to the dining table to eat.
