Welcome to Gaia! ::

Blank laughed as Aki justified her use of glasses and leaped toward him through the water. His arms instinctively wrapped around her waist when she moved to push him back, bringing her back down with him below the water...though he accidentally breathed in underwater, causing him to cough and gag when he rose to the surface, "Geez!" He exclaimed through huffs of breath as he grinned at nearly dying.

He grinned as he cleared his throat and nodded, "Point taken..." Blank said as she approached him and wrapped her arms around his neck. His arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her close as he returned her kiss deeply, taking in her taste and feeling the warmth of her body against his. His mind shifted away a moment, back onto the ring he bought; the one which sat in his pant pocket right now on the beach.

Blank's lips stopped moving as he thought about what he had bought...a small smile creeping over his face as he held her slightly tighter...He wanted to be with this woman for the rest of his life.

"...Hm? Oh...Nothin'. I...was just thinkin'." He said, looking down at her before giving her another light kiss, "You wanna be gettin' back? It's gettin' pretty late." He said, changing the subject as he looked up at the sky. They had spent the majority of the day down in his oldman's workshop, that the day had flown by, and it was getting close to the evening now.

As they stroll up the beach, he holds her hand before letting it go and letting her get changed. Blank had been in his clothes the entire time...so he was drenched in water. His hand slipped into his pocket as he felt for the small box. It was there, so he made a silent sigh of relief before smiling back at her and nodding, "Agreed...remind me to get changed." He said jokingly before taking her hand again and leading the way up the beach, "So not a bad swordsmith, hm? My oldman?" Blank said with a grin, looking down at the blade in she carried.

"Yeah! We could probably give that Ruby Dragon something to think about." Blank said, "Well...If it weren't dead." He added with a light laugh, "The day he gave me the Punishment Saber, I was so amazed that I couldn't wait to use it....Only to find that I could barely lift it over my head, it was so heavy. He said with a crooked grin, "I used to be such a toothpick back then." He remembered how small he had been back then, and it filled his head with memories of how he struggled to wield The Punishment Saber in training.

He chuckled at her response as they walked through the street, his boots making squishy noises as he took each step, "Oh man...When I was around 15, I would probably be struggling just to pick you up; I was so tiny." Blank said with a grin, as they took a turn, his folks house none to far now.

"Yeeeah...You are pretty tiny." Blank teased with a grin, giving her a light shove with his shoulder before wrapping a hand around her waist, "But I like you tiny....It's fun to hold you down." He said in a slightly hushed voice, as he flashed a wink at her.

It was minutes before they finally came up to the stoop of his folks place. He led the way up, and pushed the door open to the smell of garlic and other herbs, his stomach immediately growling as soon as he took a good whiff, "Mm..." He moaned as he stepped into the house.

"Blank?" A voice called from the kitchen, "Yup!" He called back as he began to kick his wet boots off, followed by his socks as he stepped into the house, waiting for Aki to follow, "You wanna jump in a shower?" Blank asked, holding his dripping socks in both hands. He took a glance into the hallway that led to where his mother stood, a brow raised, "...First?" He added, furrowing his brows slightly.
