Welcome to Gaia! ::

Blind Date:

[22:03] Kisa: Ichijou, or Ichi, was in a white button up with a black coat over. He had on black dress pants and his hair was combed back in a nice look and tied to hang down his back. His black and orange ear flicked as he watched the door and looked at the watch on his normal wrist. He had his automail arm in his lap hiding from the view of the others around him so they didn't stare at him. He wondered what this...girl was that he was supposed to meet here. Damn his mother. He just didn't like them couldn't she just accept that and let him be to date as he pleased, though he had been more known for his one nighters then for dating though.

[22:11] Alexina:
Lute was nervous, why couldn’t Elisa just have let the guy down easy. Why did she have to send him instead? ‘You can be his date.’ The words echoed in his head as if she was mocking him. Yeah . . . who would want to date an abomination like him? His one wing along proved of how messed up he was. Sides it was going to be a guy right? Elisa’s parents were too set to put her with any girl. This poor guy was going to be embarrassed and heartbroken at someone as messed up as Lute coming in Elisa’s place. After all Elisa was beautiful, he knew he had to protect her off and on from the messes she got herself into.

Sighing at the overbearing cologne he wore, she didn’t have to douse him in it . . . A nice tux, black, simple. Did her parents even know she still looked out for him like this? His long whitish silver hair was pulled back almost prince like. Elisa had used one of her fancy black ribbons to tie it back. Course he couldn’t help wonder if she was TRYING to make him look like a girl in away. This guy was going to kill him! He just knew it, and it truth he couldn’t blame the male if he did.

Taken a deep breath he would enter the restaurant, and move to sit down across the guy. It had to be him after all . . . he was at the table. His glowing green eyes looked down and away slightly annoyed. After all he didn’t even want to see what look the male gave when he realized Elisa was his bait and Lute was his switch.

[22:20] Kisa: Ichi was growing bored. This chick wasn't going to want to stick around once she saw his arm. She would find some polite way to say she was leaving and had something else to do or suddenly get a call that said she needed to leave. He looked over the others in the place as waited and then looked up when someone sat in the chiar...someone very much not female. He raised a brow and looked over him. Decent. Attractive. Not perfect cause he had one wing. But that didn't bother Ichi. "Was i supposed to be expecting you? Do you have female parts down there that your so good at hiding?" he asked with a smirk. "I don't mind you seem much better company then a female but i think that my mother will be sad." he said as he looked over the male. He reached for his glass of water with his metal hand and took a drink from it as he waited for an answer. This might work out unless he was just here to tell Ichi that she wasn't coming and he was leaving. He almost hoped that the male stuck around.

[22:32] Alexina:
Lute couldn’t help look up a bit flustered at his words. How rude, did he LOOK like he would have female parts? “Not unless someone removed my naturally ones without me knowing, and changed me, Of course I wouldn’t appreciate that at all if they did.” He said with a slight blush of embarrassment. The guy didn’t look too bad, but he did seem rough about the edges, was Elisa TRYING to get him killed. “If it’s a problem I can just go you know.” Lute glanced away annoyed, it was like he didn’t even notice the arm, then again one with one wing couldn’t judge after all.

He gave a light sigh hearing about the disappointment from his mother and all. “It’s HER fault, if I must be honest. Elisa dislikes being set up on dates, so I think this was her way of getting back at her parents. She thinks I’m lonely, and she believes in love.” Lute would shrug some, he surely didn’t. “I don’t know why she thought replacing herself with someone like me would not be an insult though. If it’s too much trouble I can go.” At that his hand slowly reached to his chest, where something must have hung under his shirt, for he grasped it lightly as if it gave him at least a little strength.

[22:50] Kisa: Ichi smirked at the male. Quick witted this one. He smiled liking that in a male. He took another drink and nodded. "Well thats good. You came in her place? This date is really looking up now." he said with a smile as he watched him. One wing. That made him better then normal. He settled his own scarred wings against his back and smiled. "Don't belive in love? and here i thought i was alone. I only love family cause their always there for me even if my mother tries ta make me date women." he said. He had a smooth almost cajin accent to his voice. He looked at him and smiled. "You can stick around if you want. My mother is paying for this date of hers so lets rack up a bill if you want to stick about. Want a drink or something?" he asked as he looked at him, pondering what he was reaching at under his shirt. He waved down a waiter and asked for menu's.

[23:00] Alexina:
Lute glanced up actually surprised when the male said the date was looking up. His eyes looking around as if expecting to be prank suddenly. He glanced up at his thorny halo then look over the guy closely for once, perhaps trying to figure out the male’s status. “Always there . . .” There was a slightly warped smirk at that as he just shook his head. “What about your father then? Or is it only the females that seem to have a heart to take in strays.” Ouch . . . course he meant to be more insulting to him than the one he was here to entertain.

There was something about this guy though, the blunt honesty was nice. He wouldn’t be here just to mock Lute would he? When he spoke of racking up the bill Lute actually laughed some. “I was going to pay for my side to get back at Elisa, but if that’s what you prefer.” At that he would order a nice bottle of wine, he had taste, odd for a brute, like he knew what higher class was in some way. “Either way, we could split or not. I’m Lute Senshi Adonis . . . never polite to go without knowing each other’s names after all.”

[23:14] Kisa: Ichi watched him and snorted as he shook his head. "not much about my father. He wasn't around much in my life. Mother and my brother were....accepting of me after my...accident." he said rolling his sore shoulder. It always kinda hurt. "My sister is a little crazy, takes after my father...our father. Mom was the nicer of the family and she couldn't even accept i like guys." he said as he sighed and ignored that the comment could have come off rude towards either of them. He looked at the male and nodded. "I'd like to keep it on my mothers bill. It might make her think the date went well. And its not horrid cause your not a chick so thats good but we'll see what happens hum?" he liked the choice of wine that the male ordered and looked at him as he introduced himself. "I'm Ichijou, or Ichi. Ichi Gravois." he said with a smile as he sipped the wine when it got there.

[23:22] Alexina:
Lute glanced up towards the arm for once, a slight smirk crossing his face. “I didn’t even notice.” He knew how hard it was to be different. His green eyes glowed more though as he was deep in thought. “Did HE do that to you?” It was probably semi obvious that the boy had no luck at all with his own father.

It was when he commenting about liking guys that Lute’s eyes would widen in surprise and he would glance away once more. Perhaps a bit confused, the new knowledge, made him feel a bit uncomfortable for some reason. “You have to believe in love some to have a preference.” What an odd concept, someone who didn’t believe in love but preferred a sex.

He couldn’t help laugh some at the boy’s revenge . . . feeling a slight bit jealous. He still had his mother, a family . . . something Lute only semi knew through his adopted sister and faded memories. “Well. I’m not sure what you mean by where it goes, but I am very grateful you don’t seem to judge me.” It was odd, with this one, it was like he didn’t even notice how different Lute looked with his brute ways.

[23:35] Kisa: Ichi rolled his arm again and shook his head. "No. I was kidnapped when i was younger. And strangly the only good thing my father ever did for me was find me and save me. though not before i had my arm painfully removed from my body, while i was awake. I was about...6 or 7. I cant remember." he said as he took another drink. He looked over the male and shrugged. "I can be turned on with out loving someone. And i have never looked at a woman and felt aroused." he said as he shook his white tipped bangs out of his face. "Ive always thought about men. Never felt a need to be with a woman." he said as he sighed softly and looked atLute. "Judge you? Cause you have one wing? I have one arm it owuld be wrong of me to judge you cause of how you look if you didn't even notice mine." he said with a grin as he looked at the male and took another drink of wine.

[23:41] Alexina:
Lute of course sipped at his wine, almost as if it was a dinner party of sorts. It was meant to be enjoyed after all not get drunk off of. The man’s story was interesting, why would someone do such a thing to one so young. “Must be nice to be loved.” Lute smirked, he wasn’t trying to mock, but there was a big difference.

Of course when the man mentioned his one wing Lute glanced up quite surprised and actually blushed some. Shaken his head slowly to answer why. “Because I look like I neither belong to heaven nor hell. A true outsider of sorts.”

Ichi’s word on arousal made Lute shutter some though, perhaps with the slight link to his own father. “So then, it’s all for fun. Your own enjoyment and play, I suppose that’s good for some. As long as they don’t start to believe they can just own the others due to such playfulness.”


[23:47] Kisa: Ichi smiled as he swished the wine about in his glass. "It comes and goes. I like that i have someone there, mom is great. But i hate it sometimes cause i just want to crawl away and not bother anymore." he said as he looked at him and raised a brow. "Don't belong to either? And why would you want to be tied to one over the other? enjoy your life between the two of them. Your just perfect how you are." he said as he smirked at him and shrugged. "Enjoyment hardly. I just need to do something to forget the pain i live with. Thought that sex would be a less horrid addiction then pain meds or drinking." he said as he looked at the male and smiled.

[23:57] Alexina:
“Elisa is the closes I have to understanding that feeling of being bothered.” Lute said silently, probably ordering some food and waiting a bit before going on. “I don’t even know how her parents taken to her looking after me some. She’s a sweet girl, but she can’t seem to mind her own business at times.” He would look up given a slight shrug and a semi smile. “I guess I got you beat there, I can always get rid of her for good if I wanted . . . never be bugged again.” He paused looking down at the table once more grabbing at the item under his shirt. “I don’t even know why she bothers, probably just to make herself feel better about helping others.” Bitter negative thing wasn’t he?

When the boy spoke of the sides though, called him perfect . . . Lute felt like he been hit with a sickness of sorts. He felt suddenly dizzy and very very hot as his skin turned a nice shade of red throughout his body. Had he drank too much without realizing it? His hand slowly lifted to his head as he tried to pull himself together. No one had ever put that being how he was, was a good thing in such an honest forward manner before.

It was a blessing the boy would go on about his enjoyments and games, it seemed to cool Lute off some. Poor Lute had reached for his water taken some of it instead of the wine before it. Twirling the wine some in his glass and sniffing it wondering if something was placed within it. “The pain makes me . . . safe.” Lute said softly glancing up to the boy once more. “Besides, one could argue, meds or drinking just might protect others more, even if it does hurt you more.”

New Beginning:

[01:40] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him as he listened and finished his icecream. He found it wonderful that he was so cute and flustered about this, innocent and pretty adorable about this new thing, dating and all. He smiled as he pushed the bowl away and smiled as he commentedon them dating, he liked that. He was glad that the male was ok with wanting to date. He was going to say something when the male passed out cause of the kiss. He smiled and asked for the check and said that he would take care of his poor shy date. He moved the male up into his arms and carried him to his car. He set him in the car and smiled as he got in his own seat and smiled. "Well your such a cute thing. Even more so when your asleep." he said as he caleld his mother and told her that his date had gone wonderful and he was going to be home in an hour or so. He said bye and sat there waiting for his new...boyfriend to wake up.

[01:51] Alexina:
Dreams to some are freeing, an escape, to Lute though they were something that kept him haunted. Never allowing him to move back that dreadful day . . . When he woke Lute would sit up some in surprise, maybe even panting a little. His eyes widen as he was confused at his surroundings. It was always distorting for him when he was wakening from something that seemed so real.

Slowly his eyes adjusted and he would glance to Ichi feeling quite foolish. “What . . . What’s going on?” Reality was still hazing into that of his dream, and he couldn’t help wondering what parts of the night so far was even true. After all last thing he knew he was inside sitting, not in a car. A slight wince and he would rub his head some. Poor guy must have hit it when he fell . . . “What happened?”

[02:02] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him as he came around and he shook his head. "Your much too cute. as for what happened i kissed you and you passed out." he said with a smile as he laughed softly. "You hadn't been kissed properly before and i couldn't resist giving you a proper one. I didn't think you would pass out though,. But honestly i enjoyed watching you sleep there." he said with a smile. "This is my car if you haven't noticed. I wasn't sure where yours was or what it is to take you there. Do you want me to drive you home or will you be ok to drive?" he asked as he pulled the tie out of his hair and started to run his fingers through his long hair.

[02:07] Alexina:
Lute let out a sigh hearing what happened and banged his head lightly back against the seat. “I must have made such a fool out of myself.” This guy had to be really nice to put up with him, as for all Lute saw was how much a burden he must have been. “I am a wanderer.” He said calmly ready to get out of the car not wanting to get into Ichi’s way anymore. He didn’t want to just say he was basically homeless, sides it wasn’t quite the same thing in Lute’s eyes. He lived and survived on his own since his . . . past. A few tried to take him in as he was growing up, but he never let them burden themselves with him too long. In fact that was how he met Elisa . . . only one who managed to keep track of him.

[02:21] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him and shook his head. "Wanderer? You don't have a car or a home then? Why cant you live with Elisa if your so close? Come stay with me if you want. My apartment is very large and you wont be a burden, do not think your so horrible. I would be in my own room and you would be in your own room. It wouldn't be a burden and it would be easier to go on a date with you when i know where you are and how to reach you." he said gently taking Lutes arm and keeping him in the car. "It really isn't a problem." he said with a smile.

[02:25] Alexina:
Lute frowned slightly when he was asked why he couldn’t stay with Elisa. “I could.” He said calmly glancing back to the man quite surprised when he grabbed his arm. “I just . . . never felt comfortable enough to stay in one place.” He gave a smile shaken his head some. “I couldn’t do that to you. Sides . . . If I wanted a place I probably could get a job and keep one.” He glanced out the window away from Ichi a bit. “It just always feels like it’s because they feel bad for me, or they don’t think I can manage on my own. It’s like I’m some good deed for them to do.”

[02:48] Kisa: Ichi smiled and shook his head. "Friends do these kind of things for other friends all the time. Its not out of pitty or feeling bad. Its caring about you, and in their own friend kind of way its loving you. I want to cause of selfish reasons. To keep you close to me so i can know more about you, and date you when ever i want to." he said as he reached out and touched Lutes hair. "you shouldn't worry about the people who are friends with you think. We wouldn't be friends if we couldn't accept you the way you are." he said with a smile.

[02:57] Alexina:
Lute seemed to huff a bit at Ichi’s word, as if fighting a battle of sort on his own. He stayed very silent, an actually glare on his face as he glared at himself in the side mirror. After awhile he would place a hand on his head as if in defeat. “On one condition, I pay rent, and whatever other cost seem fair . . . therefore I wouldn’t be just living off of you.” Sure he might have to pick a few pockets until he found a nice job, but it was better than letting this kind stranger just take him in.

“I would not belong to you then, and I can still keep my freedom in away.” He sighed moving his hand to yank Elisa’s ribbon from his hair. He hated his hair up, it made his eyes so much easier to see, and he felt he could be read so much easier as well with it up. It of course was Elisa’s idea to put it up for the date. “I can’t promise you that Elisa will stay out of your hair though, in fact she is holding some of my things currently.”

[03:05] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him and purred pleased that he had gotten what he wanted. "Wonderful. If you don't havew anything keeping you here then lets go home. As for rent im ok with that. Though you'll be giving it to my mother cause she pays for my place, i work for her more often then not when im not taking classes. If you want a job i can talk to my mother if you want to work at her place. ITs a Casino if that helps. If you like numbers or making drinks or something." he said with a smile as he put his seatblet on and looked at him. "Buckle up i don't drive till everyone is stapped in." he said with a smile as he waite.d when the male was strapped in he drove out of the lot. "Do we need to go to Elisa's to get yout things then?" he asked happily. He looked at Lute and smiled. "I like your hair loose too. I hardly keep mine up unless i need to be working on something. It gets stuck in my arm." hes aid with a smile.

[03:15] Alexina:
Lute blinked when Ichi went on about his place and who paid for it and such. He of course followed his instructions to buckle up, course it didn’t matter either way to Lute if he lived to see tomorrow or not. “You think you’re mom would be okay with all of this.” He gave Ichi such a look, like the man might be foolish without thinking it through, just suddenly jumping to things in the moment.

He ran a hand gently through his long hair. “I’ll do whatever is needed to be done.” He said calmly, very reserved in his own way. “And if I don’t know how, I’m a fast learner.” He paused to glance at the man’s arm when he spoke of his hair getting stuck, as if trying to ponder away to fix that for him. “If you don’t mind, Elisa . . . has my book.” He gave a little shrug. “My clothes as well.” A slightly embarrassed look, the outfit he had on now was nice, and he guess technique his as well since Elisa bought it for him for the date. “Unless you’re afraid to meet who your real date was suppose to be.” He glanced to Ichi a small smirk on his face. “I could always claim you demanded to see her.”

[03:28] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him and shook his head. "Mother wint mind. I'll tell her that your just a friend of mine till i can get her to understand im not straight and that im dating you. it wont be a problem." he looked at the male and smiled. "Does that mean you want to work at the Casino? I could call her tomorrow to tell her that. It will make her even more ok with you staying at my place." He said with a smile as he looked at him and smiled. "Books and clothes are important. Tell me which way." he said happily. He stopped at a light and took his jacket off and tossed it in the back. "I don't mind meeting her. I'm not scared of most anything. But if you want to claim i demanded it you can."

[03:35] Alexina:
Lute was confused by Ichi, but what was new. “So I’m you’re dirty little secret.” He couldn’t help laugh at that, although it did bring up some past worries. It was almost like he was falling into his own mother’s role. Not that he disliked her, it just didn’t end to well for her at all. “Yeah, having a stranger stay at your place . . . I’m sure any parent will be happy with that.” He gave Ichi a look as if trying to convince the boy to at least think logically. “I fear if she did the math, she probably could figure it out if you approach her too soon.”

When Ichi asked for the way to Elisa’s house Lute couldn’t help but look surprised. He didn’t know where his blind date lived. Of course he would give off directions shaken his head at Ichi’s words. “I wasn’t sure if you were one who would have fun with something like that or not. I’m almost worried about how she will act over all.” He couldn’t help feel like Elisa planned this somehow. “You were expecting her for sure right? She didn’t pay you to . . . take me in did she?”

[03:48] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him and shook his head. "No you are not my dirty little secret. I would say that im not keeping you a secret, just that she wont know im dating you with the entent of maybe one day sleeping with you. If you ever want me to of course." he said with a smile as he watched him. "Mother will deal with it as long as im happy." he said as he followed directions. "Have fun with what?" he asked with a grin as he smiled at him and grinned. "I was expecting a woman. I was very surprised when you walked to my table. I thought my mother had accepted it and had told me a woman when really a man was coming. I got paid by no one." he said with a grin.

[03:53] Alexina:
Lute would keep his eyes on Ichi, studying him very carefully when he spoke as if making sure no lies slipped by. After semi convincing himself he would just nod pointing to a decent size well gated house. “So it was all Elisa’s doing. I figured as much.” He looked to Ichi. “Don’t let her sweet innocent ways fool you, she’s wise deep down.” He would wait for Ichi to pull over actually sitting in the car still as if unsure how to approach. For all he cared she could keep his stuff, all except for the book. Then again Elisa probably knew that when she insisted carrying around a book on a date wasn’t very polite. “So you really know nothing about her? Just that she was someone you were set up with?” He couldn’t help feel bad for them both then. “How troublesome.”


[04:05] Kisa: Ichi smiled as he pulled over and grinned at him. "I'm sure she is. And if she thought she was giving my mother what she wanted she might have gotten someting from my mother. Though im sure that my mother made her think that she gave her what ever it was not that she was talked into giving it. If she got any thing out of it." he said not knowing ig Elisa would want something. "I really know nothing about her other then my mother said i was to meet a very attreactive woman for dinner. Though instead i met a very attractive male and im not sad it was you."he said as he leaned over and kissed Lute again. "Come on you lets get in side then and get your stuff so i can show you where your staying." he said with a smile as he got out, not bothering with his jacket.

[04:12] Alexina:
Lute wasn’t so sure about introducing Ichi to Elisa now . . . but the kiss seemed to have melted any logic Lute currently had going for him. With a blush and a slight shuffle of his feet he would merely mutter ‘okay’. Before heading to the house, just about to knock . . .

Of course before Lute’s hand even touched the door it was open and the poor guy was suddenly on the ground with Elisa on top. “So, how did it go? You took longer than I expected, that’s a good sign right right?” She was so excited that Lute had came back that night she didn’t even notice Ichi until Lute made a slight motion towards the man.

Glance towards the direction of Lute’s pointing finger Elisa’s eyes slowly trailed up the man than back down to Lute. Pausing a moment she would get off the poor guy and brush herself off. “Could do a lot worse I suppose, never know with a blind date after all.” She gave Ichi a charming smile before holding out her hand. “I hope my brother’s morbid sense of thought wasn’t too much for you. Of course you brought him home . . . which is a good sign.”

[04:25] Kisa: Ichi folloed him to the door and was looking about when the male went to knock and it opened and a woman with butterfly wings attacked him. He had almost went to save him but soon saw that it was the girl they were here to see. He grinned. She was decent, he could see how his mother might have been swayed by her, he knew his mother had a fondness for women even if she was iffy about wanting him to be with men. He waved with a smile as he hooked his metal hand on the pocket of his pants. He smiled as he watched them. "I do consider my self pretty attractive. I'm glad you agree. Though i think hes much more attractive then you but i'm biased. But the date was a sucess as far as im conserned. We are dating now as it was." he said with a smile. "Morbidness never really came up. I rather enjoyed getting to know him and find that we have alot in common." he said with a smile. "May we come in?" he asked with a smile.

[04:32] Alexina:
Poor Lute had just managed to pull himself up when Elisa had grabbed his arm as if in claiming. Her eyes studied Ichi as if unsure before laughing. “So my research was right.” She laughed a bit proud of herself only to grin acting shy semi hiding behind Lute. “Lute, you should have just told me you were gay long ago.”

Lute merely gave a sigh of defeat his long hair covering his face mostly. “I don’t know that I am Elisa, nor ever thought of it before.” He gave Ichi a slight smile though when he though Elisa wasn’t looking. “I came to get my stuff, then I’ll be out of your way.”

Elisa of course seemed confused at Lute’s last comment. “Oh . . . “ She glanced to Ichi then back to Lute again as if carefully studying the two. “Yes, if you can come in without an invite.” She gave such a cute playful smile at that. She was wise though in that way, if vampires or demons of sorts were weird they could never get in through trickery it seemed. Pushing Lute on ahead, knowing he knew his way she waited behind to see if Ichi would enter.

“Lute’s much cuter than you.” She said with a smirk once Lute was out of hearing range. “Probably smarter and kinder too . . . think you’re worthy of him?” Course the girl had no clue how much leeway Ichi had made thus far. She was in her own way testing the man out, her eyes flickering to his arm. “Please tell me you didn’t get that by doing something stupid. Lute better keep all the limbs he still has.”

[04:40] Kisa: Ichi smiled at Lute, he liked that he had gotten a small private smile that was just for him. He was so very glad that he had gotten further then anyone else with the male. He looked at the woman as she clung to his arm...why did that make him jealous? He didn't like seeing her on him...but he wouldn't make him scared of him by getting protective. He could hold back. "I can enter anything i want but i prefur to have an invite and know im welcome where ever my boyfriend is going." he said to help state that he had a better 'claim' on lute then the woman did. He walked up to her and reaised a brow as he looked over her from behind his glasses. "That might be but im cuter then you are to him. Smarter or kinder we'll see. Im rather kind my self though i have a mean streak, though we all do." he looked at his hand and lifted it. "Nope nothing stupid. Had it removed against my will. No pain killers. And i'll do everything i possibly can to keep all Lutes limbs attached. I happen to think hes perfect just how he is so i wont worry about that if i was you." he said with a smile as he walked into the house following Lutes smell.

[04:52] Alexina:
Lute of course had stopped in one of the small guest rooms. Clenching a book close to his chest as he made sure no harm had come to it. He then picked up a small bag of clothes. It really did seem that the man didn’t need much in the world. Must have been an odd surprise seeing how refine he was, and that his actions and mannerisms almost placed him in higher standings like Elisa was in away.

Elisa’s eyes twinkled a bit at Ichi’s warm blooded nature. “Ah yes, but blood is thicker than some boyfriend that can be on again off again. Family is forever after all if you like it or not.” She would follow closely behind Ichi, her hands swinging behind her back all cutely. “Sides I don’t think anyone could replace me when it comes to Lute.” She fluttered her eyes all innocent like before pushing past Ichi to cling to Lute once more this time a hug from behind. “Where are you going?” She asked the boy in such a pout. “You never stay long enough, don’t be foolish, the stars can’t be THAT fun to sleep under.” It seemed that if any of Ichi’s words were a warning to her they didn’t affect her at all. The girl had some guts that much was for sure.

Lute just stood there as she clinged, as if he was used to it. Even dragged her along when he walked towards the door. “I found a place to stay.” He said calmly, “I’ll be paying my own rent, finally settling to one spot like you’ve been bugging me too.” He wasn’t about to tell her it was with Ichi it seemed, then again with how she was at that moment could anyone blame him? It was like she was attached to him or something.

“Then I can come with you!” Pushy little girl wasn’t she, it probably was no surprise Lute hadn’t settled anywhere else yet. If she managed to talk him into moving in with her he would have little freedom in his own way. “Sides, we both know you make stupid choices at times. You have a hard time trusting others, I could look after you.” She was treating Ichi like he wasn’t even there, and it wouldn’t even be till she gave Ichi a sly look, that the man might catch on she was doing it on purpose. Like she almost knew it would make Lute more determined.

[05:03] Kisa: Ichi looked at her and grinned. "think what you want but i have him in ways that you wont ever have. Hes special to me in different ways then he is to you. and he needs me as much as i need him." He said as he leaned in the door way and looked at the two of them. He did n't like it at all that she hung all over him like that. He didnt like that she treated him like he was such a child. "You know you should let him live his life and stop treating him like hes 5. The boy knows what he wants and he is more then capable of doing as he pleases with out some female hanging all over him." he said as he gently took Lutes arm and pulled him close. "You can come over if you like but i'll be there too. Hes living with me." Ichi said with a smile. He saw the look in her eye that said she was doiing this on purpose, he didn't like it much at all. He looked at Lute and smiled. "He trusts me. Other wise i don't think he would have agreed to us dating, or to the kisses, and he took the second one alot better then the first. He didn't pass out that time atleast." he said gently pulling Lute against his body and away from Elisa. "So say your good nights and we'll be on our way. Its a bit of a drive from here to my place." he said with a smile as he kissed the side of Lutes face again with his own sly look at Elisa. He wasn't going to let her take him from him. Ichi hadn't...felt something like this towards any of the guys before now. He hadn't wanted to keep someone safe before and close. Wasn't used to the feeling that he got when the male smiled, and smiled just for him. It was growing on him and he didn't like seeing this girl use him like he was some giant toy for her to play with.

[05:11] Alexina:
“You’ve only known him for one night.” Elisa would smile all cutely like she knew so much. Of course if she wanted to plant seeds of doubts she probably could. In truth she liked what she saw in Ichi so far, he was strong, brave . . . Lute could be at times, but Lute could easily be foolish as well. She gave a cute pout when Ichi got onto her and leaned her head against Lute’s back acting like she might cry. “I set you up with a mean one.”

With that Lute merely took a deep breath. He looked after Elisa, she had done so much for him, and he couldn’t help feel like he owed her so much. What was it he could say in this situation thought? “I think he’s only trying to do what’s best Elisa, like you do for me.” He would gently pull her off him given her a soft gentle reassuring smile. “I’ll be fine, when have I ever not been able to get myself out of the trouble I put myself in.” His voice was gentle, loving even and he would step back some before glancing to Ichi. “Sides, he’s my new roommate, so if you want to see me more you . . . well I guess you might want to make friends with him.” Of course when Ichi pulled him close poor Lute seemed confused on what to do. The male’s words were confusing, was he trying to protect Lute in his own way . . . what was going on between the two?

Elisa of course listened closely before breaking out in laughter suddenly. “About damn time.” She glanced to Lute then to Ichi once more knowing better than to even try to pull them apart. “Lute I got you a cell phone, you better not get rid of it. If you’re staying in one place away from me the least you can do is give me an easier way to contact you besides hunting you down.”

She looked to Ichi almost firmly before motioning her head back towards the room. “WE need to talk first before you take him though. You’re obviously not the brightest bulb on the tree, but you have balls when you need them I guess.” She placed her hands on her hips, it was obvious she wasn’t going to take no for an answer, sides who knew what that house held that could keep them there. “Lute, you can go wait in the car, it won’t be long. You better call me daily as well.”

New Beginning:

[01:53] Kisa: Ichi smiled as he put the book aside and smiled as he held the male close and ran the fingers of his metal hand slowly up and down Lutes arm as he closed his eyes and purred. He just enjoyed holding him. Keeping him close. Smelling him. Listening to his heart beat. Feeling the nervousness there inside his new boyfriends body as he wasn't sure about what was going on. It wasn't a surprise to him at all really and while he nuzzled the males hair and held him close he breathed gently and counted to ten slowly forward and back to calm himself over what he was going through so he wouldn't try to move faster then the male in his arms was ready for. He purred as he just cuddled him close against his chest and kept his fingers moving over the males soft arm.

[02:03] Alexina:
Poor Lute felt like his heart might just leave his chest right then and there. He wasn’t sure at all what to do, just staying there. After awhile though he had to pull away, he couldn’t just stay there forever what would Ichi think? Hell what was Lute thinking? He had no clue what was going on anyways. Sad part was pulling away and getting his body to move right didn’t always work. And poor Lute probably ended up falling onto the floor looking like a fool. Luckily his hair was long enough to cover any expression on his face, it draped everywhere so nicely after all.

[02:08] Kisa: Lute was being way too cute right now. Ichi smiled and closed his eyes as he purred before he felt the male move away. He opened his eyes and watched him fall off the couch and gasped softly as he moved to help him up. "Oh little one are you ok?" he asked. He knew he wasn't little or anything but he cared about him and he helped him stand. "You should be careful i don't need you breaking on your first night here." he said with a smile as he helped him stand. He pushed his hair back and smiled as he pet his face. "You should go rest if your this worked up ok hun?" he said with a smile as he looked over him and pulled his own long hair over a shoulder. "Do you need anything before bed?" he asked with a smile.

[02:14] Alexina:
Little one? Was he really acting that foolish, so much to be treated like a child. Lute just shook his head some as Iche talked. What got into him? What hold did this guy have on him somehow? “I . . . I don’t break that easy.” Lute protested, almost wondering if he should leave right there while he had a bit of control. “I’m . . . I’m fine.” Lute said as he slowly pulled away from Ichi touching his head only to place his own hand to his forehead. “Maybe the wine was just stronger than I realize.” A horrible excuse and Lute knew it, sure he didn’t take his drinks well, but he had never been this bad before, never been like this even when he was drunk.

[02:25] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him and pet his face softly and pulled his hair back gently. "Don't worry then. If i upset you im sorry. You should lay down if you want to get some space. And you can call me if you need anything." he said softly as he smiled at him. He felt bad and he pushed his glasses up and stepped away from him for a moment. "I'll give you a bit of space hun. Don't worry." he said as he kissed the top of Lutes head and smiled. "If you want to shower or bathe to relax then your free to. I'll be here a while longer should you need me." he said as he smiled feeling nervous that he had pushed the male too far. He sat down and looked at the male while he took his book into his hands but waited for the male to say he needed something or was upset with Ichi.

[02:35] Alexina:
Lute was at a loss for words, either way it seemed like he was going to his room. Given up he would start to head there only to pause . . . if that man made him feel this way . . . could he have the same effect? Turning around he would cross his arm looking Ichi over. “Well . . . it’s not fair I realized, you so openly show me your wounds, although I have yet to show you mine.” That’s it maybe he could scare the guy to back off some by showing him the mistake he truly was. Carefully he would remove his tank top tossing it back into his room probably on his bed. There Lute was, just in his pants, that ruby necklace, and his shimmering hair.

He was being bold, brave, and almost challenging as if trying to claim his spot back, to prove he wasn’t a wimp. His hand moving to take his hair and pull it all to one side, the side that still had it’s wing and over his shoulder. His body showed small signs of abuse, probably things that happened when he was a child, and lots of burnt marks. Whoever did it made sure to do it in places that could be hidden, probably on purpose? Who knew how long Lute had lived taken god knows what from that person. Lifting his head proudly, almost arrogantly he would turn to show the worse scar of all. His back where the wing was missing had a scar that went all down it, and vanished into the pants. His wing wasn’t just removed, it was literally ripped off, and god knows how Lute survived it.

[03:12] Kisa: Ichi looked up and watched him and raised a brow. He was confused about what was going on here. Cause he didn't know what had caused him to go about doing this. He looked over him as he took his shirt off. He liked what he saw. He stood up and looked over the marks and the scar over his back. He walked closer to him and ran a hand over his back. "Perfect." he said softly as he looked at him. "You accepted me. Were you trying to scare me with your scar? I don't scare easy and its not going to make me hate you or fear you. It makes me want to kill your father for doing this to you. I don't like knowing that you were in pain. I know...i know your not breakable. But its in my nature to protect those i care about. I don't like...seeing something upsetting you. I asked...you to go to bed so that i don't do something to upset you. I want you Lute. And i'll wait till you want that back. I know your strong. I see it in you and i see how you are. I just don't want you to leave me when ijust found someone who i connect with. I don't want you to hate me. And im scared that by you staying here with me i'll...force you into something that you don't want now." he said with a small frown. "Seeing you hurt would make me upset. Knowing i was the one to hurt you would break me just a little i think. I wouldn't ever want to be the reason your sad. I might have just met you today but already i know that even if we were just friends i would protect you with everything i had." he said as he pushed Lutes hair from his face a little and sighed. "Do you understand that a little? That im scared you will hate me?" he asked softly looking at Lute with a small frown scared he had already upset him.

[03:27] Alexina:
Poor Lute had just lost it seemed. He had did it to try to bring some power back to himself only for Ichi to be soft and caring. No Lute didn’t understand. How could Ichi still call him perfect despite this? He was so flawed his own father ripped out his wing. The touch to Lute’s scar caused him to shutter, it seemed he was sensitive there to touch more than other places. Lute seemed to sigh moving his hair so that it fell back along his back. “It wasn’t his fault I was a mistake.” He said softly, was he actually defending his father some, did he really take all the blame for what happened?

Lute clenched his fist some at his side not sure what to say when it came to Ichi. “I don’t like feeling like I lose control around you.” He finally admitted glancing away to ashamed to look the boy in the eyes or face. “Just being near you though, I do foolish things, I can’t think, I stumble and worse.” He sighed running a hand through his hair, he wasn’t blaming Ichi, he was just being honest for once. Lute was afraid, he never felt like this before, and if it lead the same way it lead for his mother. Closing his eyes, he moved into his room to sit down, folding his shirt up nicely. He was neat to say the least.

“He never hurt her before . . . not before that night . . . she was his everything . . . “ He clung to the necklace suddenly as if it was his last life line. “If it wasn’t for me they would have been fine, she would still be alive.”

[03:41] Kisa: Ichi looked at him as he spoke. He figured that Lute was just not sure what to do with the feelings he was developing for him. He knew the male hadn't ever had feeling for someone before and didn't know what to think of it all. He liked that he had shivered when he ran a hand over the scar but he walked to the door when he went into his room. "You lose control cause you like me back and don't know how to think about it. Cause you haven't had someone accept you yet. I accept you just like you accept me. I wouldn't hurt you. Ive never hurt anyone except my brother when i had a fight with him once." He looked over the male on the bed and smiled a little. He didn't move closer or say anything. He looked over the male and smiled. "Im sure your mother was beautiful. To have a son as pretty as you she had to be. And if i could kill your father i would but i don't want to scare you. I want to have you as part of my life till you grow tired of me." he said as he pushe dhis glasses up. "Nothing is your fault. Your mother loved you for as long as she had you im sure. And she probably loved your father and thought he would take it well. But that didn't happen. And i would assume she probably still loved him even after what he did to you and her. Do you think i would hurt you Lute?" he asked softly looking at him a little worried.

[03:49] Alexina:
Poor Lute was feeling slightly expose, he probably didn’t even tell Elisa about his mother. The necklace he clenched so hard at that moment it actually started to cut into his hand some causing blood to trickle through his fingers. Lute couldn’t be broken, he already was . . . he did his best to hold together what bits of his mind he had left.

“The only love I ever saw close up was theirs.” He said a bit of bitterness in his voice. “His blood runs through my veins, I am the taint he cause to the angel, clear as day, the shame to his royal blood.” No wonder looks didn’t bug Lute so much, his scars ran much much deeper than that. “What if I’m not afraid of you hurting me so much, as me hurting you?” He glanced up for once those green eyes glowing brightly. Sighing he closed his eyes allowing them to dim again shaken his head. “No . . . she loved me . . she was the only one who I thought ever could . . . and I got her killed.”

[04:02] Kisa: Ichi smelled the blood and turned and grabbed a little kit for injuries and went to the bed. Taking Lutes hand gently from the necklace with out touching it he took the hand started to clean it and bandage it. "Lute you should try to look over your past a little. Nothing would make me happier then to see you happy. And thinking about so much of your past is upsetting you. Dont worry about him, hes not here and i wont let him hurt you again. I want to keep you safe." he finished with the others hand and reached up and pet his face. "Happy and here. Wonderful and safe. I wnat nothing more then to make you smile. So far im already addicted to them." he said as he sat on his knees and wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him close to nuzzle Lutes chest. "Others still love you. Elisa loves you." he wasn't sure what his feelings were, if he liked Lute enough to love him but he wasn't sure what to say to him about it. And didn't want to scare him. He wanted to know him and protect him. And he wondered if he needed to give Lute some space before he would accept him. but being close to him made Ichi weak. Made him care. Made him want. He looked up at Lute and kissed his lips softly. "I care enough to not want to see you hurt. I will not care if oyu hurt me either." he kissed him again. "Do you fear me?" he asked softly. "Or do you just fear what i do to you?" he asked softly as he played with some of Lutes pretty hair.

[04:13] Alexina:
Lute jumped a bit when Ichi took his hand, winching some. Probably noticing or the first time the damage he had done to himself. Poor Ichi didn’t have a chance to take care of it though, Lute would have reached for his shirt and start to clean the necklace the best he could almost in a panic. Before settling and letting Ichi have his hand back. That necklace, Lute would easily kill or die for it, it seemed.

He seemed to daze though, listening to Ichi’s words, a sadden look crossing his face with them. Forget the past? What was he without it? At least the past told him what he was if it was bad or not. Lute easily moved within Ichi’s embrace actually clinging back for the first time eyes closing. Something even Elisa probably never experienced from him. There was almost a need for the Ichi in the way Lute clung to him.

A kiss, he managed to get another kiss from the one he could call his boyfriend? He didn’t care if Lute hurt him? How wrong was that? Another kiss . . . and Lute listened to the question. “I know I have nothing to fear from you.” He said softly, honestly almost like a lost child. The answer was obvious, there was a pause and a look of fear and being broken on Lute’s face. He pulled away only slightly from Ichi. His hands trembling as he removed his necklace to slowly place around Ichi’s neck. Leaning forward to kiss the necklace softly where it hung. “Watch it for me.” He said softly, it was obviously painful for Lute to be parted with his most prize treasure. But he was going to try to do what Ichi’s asked, to let go of the past. He just couldn’t get rid of it, he could loan it out though.

[04:31] Kisa: Ichi looked at him and purred when he felt the hug returned to him happily. He loved that Lute was growing to accept his hugs and snuggles. He looked at him and smiled. "I'm glad you don't fear me. I do not wish to ever make you scared of me." he looked up at the male and smiled at him before freezing when the male put the necklace on him...was...was this his way of fully accepting that he was his boyfriend. He smiled and looked up at him. "I'll guard it with my life." he said as he got up and sat on the bed and kissed him, a little longer then before. Petting his face he smiled as he rested his forhead against the males. "You wont have to worry about it. I'll guard it for you. Was it your mothers?" he asked with a smile as he pet his face softly with his metal fingers. "Do you really not mind my arm touching you?" he asked as he looked at his hand and moved the fingers while he looked at it. It still amazed him that he had metal fingers and he could move them.

[04:38] Alexina:
“Why, is there really something I should fear about you?” Lute had saw nothing scary in the way the boy looked or act. After all both Lute’s parents were probably good looking, and his father had NOTHING wrong with him and he was the one who hurt Lute.

Lute glanced to the necklace slightly, nodding at the question. “Yes, it was her most beloved gift from him.” He said softly, if his father really was a royal the necklace probably was worth a fortune. When the boy asked about the touch of his arm Lute couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s a part of you isn’t it?” he would glance up to look the boy in the eyes. “It’s a part of who you are, if you like it or not. Of course it doesn’t bug me.” It was as simple as that. To Lute, Ichi could have been born with the arm for all he cared.

There the boy went gently touching him again though, his face, Lute never understood why he would do such a thing. There was one thing Lute liked a lot though, one thing that both scared and excited him. That left him confused what to do in return. A small blush would past his face as he leaned closer to ask Ichi in a cute shy whisper. “May I kiss you?” All those kisses Ichi had given the boy, and Lute just accepted, and here he was asking permission . . .

[05:00] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him and couldn't help enjoying the look that Lute gave him. He enjoyed nothing more then to see him happy like this. He didn't know why...didn't know why his smile made him float out of his body. He looked over the male as he laughed and told him about the way he felt about his arm. "Really? You don't care about it?" he said. He felt light headed himself. He hadn't really had anyone accept his arm but Yami and Deu who made it for him. He knew his brother and sister and mother tolerated it but they still staired at it. He couldn't do anything but enjoy that his new boyfriend, his new roommate, his most beautiful everything. He smiled and had to hold back tears at really having someone accepting him. He had nothing to say to it as he felt his heart...his heart doing something weird. He took a breath to relax and smiled at him happily. Oh he was adorable. He smiled and nodded. "I said nothing in the apartment was off limits. If you want to kiss me i wont stop you." he said as his metal hand reached up and brushed along his face and rested behind his head and smiled. He hadn't ever thought that someone would ask him permission to kiss him.

[05:11] Alexina:
Lute couldn’t help give Ichi a questioning look when the boy kept asking about his arm. What was the big deal about it? It would be like if ppl made a pick deal about Lute’s spiked halo, or one wing. The arm seemed to function perfectly fine, the boy seemed to be fine with it. He would pause at that pulling back slightly to glance at the arm. “Do you not like it though?” That would make sense . . . if Ichi didn’t accept it. “I don’t understand why you keep asking me, it’s like any other limb you have, I don’t dislike it if that’s what you mean. In fact, it gives you a strength, let’s people know how strong you can be at times. Like your ear.”

When Ichi explained that everything including himself was free game in the apartment Lute turned almost as red as a lobster, he wasn’t quite sure if he was ready for that persay. But it would look foolish for him to ask for permission, and not give a kiss. Biting his lower lip softly Lute slowly leaned forward. It was obvious to see how nervous the boy was. Inches from Ichi’s face Lute even paused for a few deep breaths, he felt like he could hardly breath, like his heart was going to explode it was pounding so much. A gentle press against Ichi’s lip, softly tasting them, before kissing slightly deeper only for a moment before falling backwards. Poor guy probably thought he might faint again right then and there.

[05:24] Kisa: Ichi looked at him when he asked about his arm. "no one else accepts it. no one else wants it to touch them. None of the guys i was with before ever wanted to hold that hand. Or for that hand to touch them. Afraid it would hurt them or just afraid of how it looked or felt. It...made me second guess if i should have gotten it or not. But you...you accept it. something that gave me so much freedome. And you don't even stare at it." he smiled and almost felt the tears break free but he kept them back still. Then he was kissing him. He melted for a moment enjoying that someone else wanted to kiss him. He opened his eyes when the other pulled away and held back a laugh as he sat forward and over Lute a little to make sure he hadn't passed out. He grinned at him when he was still awake and Ichi smiled as he leaned over on his hands looking down at him. "So i take it you like my kisses then? Im glad you don't pass out anymore. It would suck if you did every time we kissed." he said with a smile as he pet his face gently. "Do you want me to leave you alone now or do you enjoy my company?"

[05:33] Alexina: Lute listened about the arm only to find it silly how people treated it. He would move to take it in his hand, willing to hold it some. “I may stare.” He smirked perhaps trying to tease Ichi some. “But just because someone stares at something, doesn’t mean they don’t like it, sometimes it’s the opposite. How do you know that some of the past people you were with weren’t just deeply intrigued with it?” Lute obviously didn’t get it or couldn’t believe Ichi had so much trouble with such a simple thing.

Course after the kiss he was laying still, a blush deeping on his face when Ichi stared down at him. “I . . . I suppose you could say I like them.” Lute muttered, Ichi’s kisses were the first thing that ever made Lute actually feel free in away. Like it was worth something, not some taint to the world. He couldn’t help wonder if this was how his father use to make his mother feel. “Well it’s hard to keep a concentration and not panic, when it’s the first time something like that happens.” Lute protested about Ichi teasing him. The first kiss must have really blown him away.

When Ichi asked him about the company Lute’s eyes fell more to the necklace around the boy’s neck. It was something that kept him strong at times. “Are you really going to make me answer that?” He would ask in a soft whisper.

[05:40] Kisa: Ichi had smiled surprised at the male holding his hand but he was more interested in being over him the way he was. He wasn't over him, just leaning his chest over him to look at him. He smiled at him and was glad that he enjoyed that he could melt the other so easily. "Your adorable you know that. I like your kisses as well. their very sweet." he said with a smile as he leaned in and kissed his neck softly. "And yes i'd like you to answer it. Would you like me to stick around longer, when im not 100% sure i can make my self stop touching," He kissed the males chest that still wasn't clad in a shirt. "or kissing you. Or would you like me to leave you be so you can go to bed or watch tv?" he asked. there was a TV in the corner on the wall for him should he want to watch something in bed.

[05:47] Alexina:
Lute’s blinked at being called adorable, only to shake his head at Ichi liking his kisses. Then the trail of kisses started, and Lute could feel his whole body shutter, and stir as it was. How could he answer such a question? This was all too new to him, and in truth, the way the male close to him alone made him feel . . . There was a hesitation and Lute would gently pull Ichi’s head to his chest where his heart was beating wildly. “That’s part of what you do to me.” He spoke softly, not sure if it was a good or bad thing. He just knew no one had ever made him feel like this before.

Taken a deep breath he hesitated before trying to lift up Ichi’s face and pull him into a soft gentle kiss. Allowing himself for once to just lose himself in the feel of it, continuing them, if Ichi allowed, pulling him closer without thinking. In truth, if they just shared that for the rest of the night Lute probably could have died happily.

[06:00] Kisa: Ichi looked at him and smiled as he looked at him and then he was against the males chest. He snuggled him and closed his eyes purring to enjoy the sound of his heart beating. The wildness to it made him made him smile and feel special knowing that he did that to him, that he caused the male to go crazy and nervous. He looked at him and then the other was kissing him, gently but deep. Holding him close and being brave about this. he wrapped his arms gently around the male and pulled him close, deepening the kiss carefully as he enjoyed this. This new moment with his boyfriend. This new wonderful expirence with the male who had changed his life. He pulled back a little and looked at him running his hand through the males hair. "I'll stay here then." he said snuggling him close and kissing him softly again. "You taste so sweet." he said as he lifted his chin closer and kissed him again holding him gently but passionatly against his chest.

Confusion:

[00:51] Kisa: Ichi sat at his keybord playing something to distract himself from Lute being at work and him not being there...not keeping an eye on those perverts who might try to pick up his lute...who were touching him. He was texting his uncle John asking how it was going but John was an a** and hated phones so he would jsut send back 'hes fine ******** off.' every so often when Ichi kept bugging him. He couldn't take it any more and went to shower to think about anything else but that Lute better come home soon or Ichi might have a heart attack from worry. He had felt so bad after the misunderstanding they had had the other night that he had made sure to try to give Lute some space and let him know that he knew he was strong and that he was capable of protecting himself, but that didn't mean Ichi wasn't worrying and waiting for his Lute to come home to him. He missed him so much...

[01:26] Alexina:
Lute did his job like normal, no new glitches, his eyes would roam to Ichi’s old spot often. And he might seem quite annoyed, more at himself than anyone. Why was he worried about the boy? He had nothing to do? Needed a hobby? Course it didn’t help that Lute always left that cell phone Elisa got him at home either.

Poor Lute had thoughts to settle, so after work he wouldn’t just go home. In fact he would go for a long walk, exploring or just letting his mind drift. It was nice to be outside again, almost freeing in away. It had a calm sense to it, he needed nature perhaps . . . and was getting cabin fever otherwise. He would roam for awhile sighing at the few couples he saw. He didn’t know how to act, what to do.

Finally he would find himself picking up a dozen roses, and some chocolates. The poor fool blushing the whole way home feeling like an idiot. Ichi was male . . . not female . . . but even he had no clue what to get him. It was passing by a store that got Lute to pause. Buying one more item he spent a good hour or so outside with it. He had bought music paper, since Ichi was so brilliant with it, and had sat outside crafting all sorts of shapes and roses, and cranes and whatever else he could manage into a new sort of bouquet, wrapping the extra paper around it so Ichi had some to use if he wanted any. Glancing to the roses then the papers he sighed feeling like an idiot.

Standing he would finally make his way home, only to pause outside of the door fiddling with the stuff. What was he thinking? The only knock Ichi would get was Lute’s head on the door as he banged it lightly once on it out of frustration and embarrassment.

[01:42] Kisa: Ichi had just gotten out of the shower and was drying off and cleaning all the water out of his arm. It was all water proof and it was fine but he didn't like water stuck in the parts orr anything and he wanted to think of something else other then the fact that he was worried about everything. He finished and brushed out his wet hir and braided it as he perked his ears up hearing a noise. A thunk...on the door? He frowned and pulled on a pair of pants and walked over to the front door and opened it. Lute was there with...things. "Lute? Is everything ok?" he asked a little worried that someone had given the male his roses. "Who gave you those?" he asked feeling a little sad about it. He looked over them and saw the music papers. He raised a brow...why did he have music papers...and...chocolates? He looked upset and worried about something too. "You seem bothered by something...did something happen?" he asked stroking Lutes face softly and gently leading him into the house and to the couch. "Was work ok?" he asked with a smile trying not to let it show that he was so worried or that he was so happy that Lute was back, though he was worried as to who had given him all these things.

[01:58] Alexina:
Lute of course almost fell forward when the door was suddenly opened. His eyes widen and he would glance to the things he had, not even given a chance to really answer much. Something seemed wrong with Ichi . . . did he not like the items? “I just had a long walk is all.” Lute said softly confused by all the sudden questions, nodding, work was work.

Lute sat down, only to lift the items towards Ichi. “I knew I was being foolish.” He said softly, the male seemed not to like the items at all. “I got them from the shops who sold them.” He refused to glance Ichi in the eyes now. Ichi was his lifeline in away or at least held the one thing he used to take strength from. It was like going out without a security blanket at times. Lute kept telling himself that he needed to get stronger though; he needed to prove his strength more so there weren’t any questions about it.

[02:10] Kisa: Ichi looked at him and smiled a little. He was glad to see that work had been work. He looked at the male when he offered him the things. He looked over the male and opened his mouth to say something and then closed it. He felt tears in his eyes and he took the flowers. "For...me...?" he asked softly as he felt more tears. No one had gotten him presents before. He found that Lutes necklace was more of a line to keep him and Lute together not a present. But...this...He set it aside and pulled Lute into his arms and held him close. He felt all the worry leaving him as he held the male inhis arms. "Oh Lute..." he said softly as he nuzzled hte male and couldn't help feeling the tears break free. Lute had felt bad for the other night and had gotten Ichi something to make up for it. He nuzzled the male and pulled him close into his lap and just held him while he tried to get the tears to stop so he didnt upset Lute.

[02:15] Alexina:
Lute was pulled about before he could even get his thoughts straight again. Only managing a nod when Ichi asked if the gifts were for him, and before he knew it he was in Ichi’s lap once more. About to protest some, he noticed Ichi’s tears and felt a great dread feel him. Raise a hand to gently wipe them away, he hadn’t meant to hurt the male again.

“I’m sorry, I . . . I won’t do it again.” The poor guy felt it might have been the gifts that caused the tears in a bad way. “Was it because I ruined some paper you could have used? I can unfold it all . . . I’ll even try to iron it out if you wish. I got extra as well just in case.” Lute really didn’t have a clue about relationships; he was just trying his best. “Are they wrong? Is there something different you’re suppose to get males instead?”

[02:27] Kisa: Ichi shook his head and smiled at him and he pet Lutes hair. "Lute i have never gotten a present like this before. Things from mom on my birthday but never... never a real gift for no reason like this." he said as he smiled and kissed the male softly. "Your too perfect." he said softly as he nuzzled him. "you did wonderful. Ive never had someone do this for me hun." he said with a smile as he kissed him softly. "Don't unfold them their beautiful. I'll save them and put them on a shelf. their beautiful." he said as he stood and took the flowers to the kitchen and put them in a vace with water. "I'll put them in my room. Thank you." he said as he moved back to Lute and hugged him. "Thank you so much." he said with a smile.

[02:32] Alexina:
Lute was at a lost a bit confused. The male was always one who was flighty, and in truth Lute couldn’t help but smile back some seeing how happy he was. Ever kiss he returned only to feel bad when Ichi spoke of gifts for no reason. “But I do have a reason.” He said softly turning to watch Ichi run around with everything. “I . . . it’s . . .” how was he to explain the reason. “It’s what people dating do?” What a crappy way to put it.

He stood only to be hugged again by Ichi and manage a small laugh. “I’ll go get the tea ready, I’m sorry I didn’t think to bring home anything to eat.” The poor guy was probably working his mind silly on trying to find something good as a couple gift but not stupid, or wrong, or overdone.

[02:44] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him and sat back down pulling Lute into his lap. "Yes dating people do get eachother gifts. But none of my others ever got me any. So this is the most wonderful surprise gift. It made me feel so much better." he said softly as he purred and nuzzled the males neck. He couldn't help how happy he was with the way that Lute was warming up to this relationship. He smiled at him and let him go so he could make the tea. "thank you. I hope your not sad cause i didn't get you something too. I'll get you something too. I'll surprise you ok hun?" he asked with a smile as he turned on a soft movie. "Are you hungry?" he asked with a smile. "I can order something."

[03:01] Alexina:
Lute felt so confused, why had such a simple thing made Ichi so happy. He just gave a gntle smile and move to gently kiss Ichi’s lip when he stood. “No.” His voice was calm as he went to fix the tea. “I don’t want you to get me something.” He said slightly confused, was that what relationship gifts were about? Did he have to keep trading off presents now? He didn’t want that.

Running a hand through his hair Lute couldn’t help wonder how he made things into an even bigger mess. He just . . . wanted to do something nice for Ichi is all. Bringing over the tea he would stand being Ichi sipping his and thinking. Could he afford a decent dinner for them? He didn’t want to make Ichi feel like he had to pay.

[03:10] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him and shook his head. "I'll get you something i promise. I cant not get you something now. It would be rude of me. You don't want me to be rude do you?" he asked softly. "I'll surprise you with it so you don't know when its coming. I promise you'll like it." he said with a smile as he watched the male. Talking his tea he smiled at him as he seemed to be thinking while he sipped his tea. "I'm buying diner. don't give me that look. I love buying dinner for those i date and i would rather get you dinner then make either of us cook." he said with a smile. "What are you in the mood for?" he asked happily. He knew the male was growing confused over all this but Ichi was just one of those that liked to be sweet on his partners. He also thought about going all the way with Lute tonight but he would see how he felt closer to bed time.


[03:16] Alexina:
Lute paused hearing Ichi’s question about being rude, a cute smirk crossed his lips as he sipped the tea once more before answering. “Yes.” He didn’t mine Ichi being rude, at the moment he was more worried about this being a gift war of sorts, he didn’t want a gift war . . . was that why the others never got Ichi anything? It was a battle no one could win.

Lute of course gave Ichi a serious look as he felt the others could read his thoughts at times. “I suppose I’ll need to learn how to cook. It wouldn’t be an issue if I learnt . . .” Poor Lute only knew how to cook over a fire and grills though and usually fish or what not he caught himself. It actually made Lute smile a bit, was cooking something he could do that would help Ichi out a lot? Could he manage to do it, keep cleaning up and the job?

[03:30] Kisa: Ichi stood and moved to him and wrapped his arms around him. "Mmmm but i don't want to be rude. And its not how i was raised. I'll get you one thing and i promise you don't have to get me anything else. Not unless you end up wanting to again later." he said with a smile as he sighed happily. "Your too cute. If you want to learn how to cook then you can by all means. I have cook books over there" He said pointing to them. "But it never works out for me. The one thing that i cant do well." he said with a smile as he kissed him. "But im ordering food tonight. So go look at the menus in the kitchen and tell me what you would like most." he said leading the male to the kitchen and showing him where the menus were. "If you want to take cooking classes i can help you with that too." he said happily as he hopped up onto the counter.

[03:34] Alexina:
Lute glanced to the menu’s then over to the cooking books. “No classes, classes means being around others.” He was a loner in his own way. He would shrug at the menu’s pushing them towards Ichi. “You decide.” He said softly before turning to go look for the books, running his fingers along them lightly. This was something he could do for Ichi, but was cooking really that hard? If Ichi couldn’t do it . . . “What do you usually like to eat? You like sweets, I can tell by how you take your tea . . .”

[03:37] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him as he looked through the menus. "Mmm well i love pasta. And i love meat." he said with a teasing smile as he snapped his jaws together and grinned. "I like some spice to my food. I enjoy salads and yes sweets. I'll be having those chocolates for desert." he said happily as his little bob tail swished behind him. "Mmm i love shrimp, but picky with my fish, not a salmon fan." he said as he looked and picked up one of the menus. "Tacos ok with you?" he asked with a smile. "They have good white fish tacos." he said happily.

[03:46] Alexina:
Lute couldn’t help being slightly amused; they seemed so different in minor ways. Then again Lute kept to more of the simple natural stuff usually. Moving a few book near the sofa so he could read while Ichi watched a movie or did his homework, or whatever the other felt like Lute would finally come back to the boy’s side. “They sound interesting, I’m not sure I would want fish with mine though.” He gave a weak smile, he lived mostly off fish and rabbits and what not when he lived outside after all.

He would lean over peaking at the menu while Ichi held it, pointing to one or two items he thought sounded interesting. “So I take it, cooking will be a solo expedition for me?” He laughed not minding at all . . . more worried about it being difficult. He wanted to do it for Ichi after all, and failing wouldn’t end well.

[03:51] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him and nodded. "No fish in yours it is then. I like their steak here so its ok." he said as he called and ordered what Lute wanted as well as some things he wanted. He smiled as he was done with the phone and looked at Lute. "Oh no i'll help a little. It might work better with you doing it. Maybe your the missing piece that was the reason i couldn't cook well." he said with a smile. "I was ok with some of the sweets. Cookies and frosting im good with." he said happily. He got off the counter and walked to the couch, leading Lute with him as he sat and pulled the male down with him gently. "Do you know it ment alot for you to come home with presents for me?" he asked softly playing gently with Lutes hair.

[03:59] Alexina:
Lute of course followed, probably making sure he wasn’t getting in Ichi’s way of the work he needed to do. It was nice to be of his feet though; the long day was stressful as it was without the minor pain. Laughing some at Ichi’s words he would shake his head, “I highly doubt that. I’m sure . . . it’s just something very hard to do. Not like putting something on a stick over a fire somewhere.”

Sighing at Ichi’s last question Lute just shook his head, why did he always ask odd things like that? “I just . . . I had a lot to think about so I went for a walk. I never been in a relationship before, and off and on I would spot a happy couple . . .” He sighed, he had made Ichi cry, more than once now . . . they were far from those that he saw around. “Some of them got, well surprises, and seemed to like them . . .” There wasn’t even another way to put it, he just wanted to do a good job at his first relationship.

[04:06] Kisa: Ichi smiled. "Theres a fine touch to it. And theres alot to paying attentuon how flavors work together with what your working on. And i kept getting my stuff wrong and it all tasted bad." he said with a smile. He watched the male and smiled glad to see him making an effort in this. He pulled him close and wrapped his arms around Lutes middle. "You i think are the best present really. Do you really not want me to get you something back? I Really don't mind. But im also happy just holding you close and enjoying you in my arms. I could give you a back rub as a present if you don't want anything? Or i can play that song for you that i wrote." he said wanting to do something. "You have changed a lot of my life and i don't want to do something to upset you again."

[04:11] Alexina:
Lute would lean over reaching or one of the many books, probably thinking deserts would be best to learn first. He couldn’t go wrong there right? Luckily with missing drinks Lute probably could take up cooking easier, after all mixing drinks could be a lot harder and Lute learned that fast. “There isn’t anything I want.” Lute said honestly flipping through the book some. The boy never did ask for much, never kept much, and most things would just be in the way at times.

He lowered the book some when Ichi spoke of playing that lovely song again. Nodding slightly “I think I’ll like that.” The boy of course still had no clue it had words of course. Ichi’s talk about how Lute changed his life and a worried look would pass his face. After all, if Lute was the taint he was always told he was . . . would this just end up being horrible for Ichi in the end. Slowly Lute would just lean his head against the boy’s chest. “Don’t say that, only you can change your life.”

[04:20] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him and held him close. "Your so cute." he said even though he planned to get Lute something, just cause he wouldn't let him know there was something he wanted. He had an idea for the male. He looked over the other and nodded. "After we eat i'll play the song in full for you ok." he said softly. Frowning when the other said what he did about chanigng his own life he smiled. "Lute you changed mine by giving me something to look forward to in my day. To waking up and wanting to be doing something. I haven't longed to hold something like i long to hold you. You brought joy to my boring life. Thats how you changed it. Only in good ways." he said running his hand over Lutes face softly and smiled. "My life has more meaning to it now and it makes me happy to have you in it."

[04:29] Alexina:
Lute blinked some at Ichi’s words, and he couldn’t help smile and blush at how sweet they are. “I’m still considering my job.” He said softly, honestly to Ichi. “I don’t want to be in a place you don’t care for. I can work most places if I tried, and have even been given quite a few numbers.” Poor guy probably didn’t realize half or more of those numbers weren’t for jobs like he thought. He sighed resting his head against the males before kissing his nose. “You’re busy as it is, and I don’t want to slow you down, especially if you’re worried about me.”

[04:33] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him and shook his head. "Those arnt the kind of numbers you think they are. Those are others who are trying to get you to either sleep with them or date you like i am. And i don't share those i care about like this." he said with a smile kissing him. There was a knock on the door and he got up and signed for the foor and came in to sit next to the male at the couch with the food. "And im not too busy to see you a few times when you want me around at your work with you. I'll just ignor mother or i can sit in the car out front and wait. Then i'll still work on my homework and it wont be a problem but i'll be there if you want to see me on your break and to take you there and home and if something upsets you." he said as he smiled and took out one of his tacos after giving Lute his foot and taking a bite.

[04:39] Alexina:
Lute’s lips softly returned the kiss so easily as of lately. No hesitating or fear as much as when they started. “Wait . . . what?” What Ichi had said before it sunk in and Lute’s face turned white as a ghost. “So, Elisa teasing about me being paid more as a . . . “ The poor guy was a little speechless, after all who knows what his mother was before his father claimed her. He of course would glance over the food when he got it studying it at first taken only small bites. “Do I have to share?” The question was late surely, bt it probably roamed around his mind for awhile . . . his mom had to share even if she was his father’s favorite. The discussing he was about to lead to suggestion was lost in that question alone.

[04:42] Kisa: Ichi almost coughed on his food as he laughed. "As a what? A stripper? Mom would love that but most of hers are females for all the male clients. and i would...like it if you didn't do that. I want you all to my self. And that should answer your share comment. I don't share you and i don't expect you to share me. I haven't thought about others or gone to bars or tried to find anyone since we started dating. I wont touch anyone else like i touch you. Your mine if you don't mind me saying so and i don't need anyone but you."

[04:47] Alexina:
Lute gave Ichi a weak smile rubbing his back some as he coughed. “Yes, or a pole dancer.” It would have been hard on Lute to do anyways even if Ichi had wanted it. He usually wore shirts that hid his scars well after all. Even his one wing most took as a birth defect because he rarely talked about the other. “Try to find?” Lute glanced to Ichi only laughing a bit, it was amusing to him that people actually went out trying to fine such a thing and he stumbled upon in. “The world must be more of a depressing place than I thought, if one such as me can be so blessed, while those more deserving still must look and try.”

[04:52] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him and finished his food and kissed lutes face. "I wont let you be a pole dancer. If you want to learn to do it for me and only me thats up to you. I'll have a pole put in your room even. And i wont tell Elisa." he said with a laugh. "And yes others try to find those that they care for or even love but most of them arnt lucky. It took me a long time to find you didn't it? And we both went through alot to ger here." he said as he stood and touched the necklace around his neck that was Lutes. "Blessed i agree. But you are just as deserving of my effections as i am of yours. our wonderful. My perfect Lute." he said stroking Lutes ear and moving to his keybord. "Well i did promise to play for you."

[04:56] Alexina:
Lute laughed some when he spoke of pole dancing only for him, shaken his head many times over. “Have you seen . . . well of course you have . . . I don’t think I would want to do such a thing unless I had no other choice.” He had seen the stripers, the dancers at times when he served drinks. Hell a few may have even tried to drag HIM into a backroom when he was on break. He would turn to keep his eyes on Ichi but not moving from his spot. “I actually . . . had a slight compromise.” He said softly smiling before nodding to the boy. “but maybe we can talk more after you play.”

[04:59] Kisa: Ichi smiled and nodded. He didn't mind. If lute wanted to dance for him or not it was ok with him. As long as he wasn't dancing for anyone else either. He smiled as he raised a brow at the other. Compromise? He would ask after the song. "Ok...but...remember i wrote this song cause of you." he said softly as he blushed. It was his own way of opening himself and how he could think to express how he flet towards the male. He closed his eyes and started playing his song for Lute. He blushed as he played along and hoped that it didn't upset Lute.

[05:05] Alexina:
Poor Lute sunk down in the sofa if Ichi sung as well. His whole body turning red, what else was the boy to do? He was embarrassed, lost, maybe even confused. Ichi really couldn’t have wrote this for him. His ears even tingled, and he would end of feeling horrible, how was he supposed to act to such a thing? The music alone was insane, now with the words. Poor Lute wasn’t sure if he could come out of his hiding spot on the sofa anytime soon. Not with how everything was tingling.

[05:13] Kisa: Ichi smiled a little as he finished the song and turned to ask Lute what he thought and saw that the male was red as a tomato and curled up in the couch hiding. "Oh did you hate it? Oh Lute im sorry..." he said as he moved over to the male and sat infront of him not touching him yet. "Are you mad at me? Did i upset you too much with my song? I didn't mean to..." he said softly as he frowned and hoped the male was like this cause he liked it not cause it had bothered his boyfriend. He bit his lip a little and worried Lute felt too weird about the song.

[05:18] Alexina:
Lute of course was feeling quite dizzy at the moment, and the most he could do was try to shake his head and even that wasn’t going to work well. So instead he merely reached up to pull the boy close to him, nuzzling his face against Ichi’s chest to hide it. His beating heart up again . . . he thought he had gotten over these moments, knew Ichi and what to expect better by now. The man had managed to make him speechless though.

[04:39] Kisa: Ichi yawned as he rolled over in the bed and pulled Lute close. It was almost 11 and he was rather pleased. He felt relaxed and calm. He opened his eyes and even though Lute was a little fuzzy with out his glasses on he was beautiful. He ran his fingers over the males face and smiled. He had been gentle with the male but he wondered if he would want to go to work or stay home. "Love we should probably go shower if you plan on going to work soon.

[04:45] Alexina:
Poor Lute, had deeply enjoyed the night welcoming every new experience with Ichi. It all rushed his blood, and he had truly never experienced such things before. He was a little tired, probably not having the stamina built up for such a nice night. He barely woke to Ichi’s gentle touch, but gave a soft smile when he finally did. He didn’t want to go to work, he wanted to stay right here in bed with Ichi . . . but he knew how shameful that would sound if he said it. Instead he leaned in to kiss Ichi’s lips softly and moved to cuddle him more.

[04:55] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him happily as he cuddled into him more. "Is that a 'no i don't wanna go to work your too comfy' answer?" he asked with a smile as he held him close and pet his face. "Do you want to shower in a little bit or how about a bath?" he asked with a smile as he purred and pet Lutes head softly. He hadnt had such a wonderful night in...well he didn't know how long. He loved the male and he loved how wonderful the male had been with all the new experiences last night but he was sure that Lute had enjoyed it.

[04:58] Alexina:
Lute blushed deeply as Ichi seemed to know what was on his mind. “Must I answer that?” he asked softly still just clinging to the male. “I’ll take one in a bit, but for now can’t we just lay here for a bit longer?” He felt sorry for missing work, but the touch of the male last night made Lute not want to leave his side just yet.

[05:03] Kisa: Ichi smiled and nodded. He reached for his glasses so he didn't get a headache and then for his cell phone and texted his mother telling her that Lute wasn't coming in today. "I know what you like. Didn't you notice that last night?" he asked with a smile as he nuzzled him. "We can stay here as long as you want to. Just tell me when you want to shower." he said running his fingers gently over the scar on Lutes back.

[05:10] Alexina:
Lute’s face kept that bright red shade at Ichi’s words. “But won’t I get in trouble?” He watched the boy text his mother before given a light sigh, if the boy wanted to keep them a secret that wasn’t the way to go about it. “What about your school?” He asked softly although he moved his head to rest on Ichi’s shoulder shuttering some from pleasure as the boy touched his scar. He knew he should go try to make breakfast or something, maybe get some tea, but he was just so content right there.

[05:24] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him and purred as he shook his head. "Your not going to be in trouble. Ok? Mom will find someone else to cover and its a wednesday and not near payday for anyone in the military so you will be fine, it would be slow today." he said with a smile as he snuggled him. "I have nothing but some papers that i need to turn in next week. So as long as i work on those a little tonight you have me as long as you want today." he said happily nuzzling him and keeping up with the gentle run of his fingers.

[05:29] Alexina:
Lute smiled brightly at that, moving to pull and hold Ichi close. “You . . . you were . . . I don’t think I even have a proper word for what you were.” Another blush, the night, was so good it was undescribe. “Just tell me when you need your space.” He said softly before kissing the male once more. “I was thinking . . . maybe we could do a few things other couples do today?” Did he want a date?

[05:36] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him and kissed his nose. "I'm glad you found it so. I'll only show you more as we go along. I didn't want to over load you last night and you don't have the stamina that i do yet." he said with a smile as he pet the scar softly. "A date? Mmm we have time for that as soon as we both shower. We can go to dinner again? Someplace not AS fancy as where we first met?" he asked with a smile.

[05:45] Alexina:
Lute just clung to him before he mentioned once more showering. The boy must be trying to be nice, he probably wanted to get up. Lute moved to sit up on the bed letting the boy go, before nodding. Dinner sounded nice . . . but that wasn’t all couples did was it? “How about an activity as well?” he said softly, he saw so many happy people together when he went for walks at times, he would have loved something like that, something that didn’t feel so hidden away.

[05:54] Kisa: Ichi sat up and stretched his arm and winced. Laying down on it made the arm part that was real on it ache and twitch with a bit of pain. "And activity...Mmm we can go for a walk and then go to a movie after we eat? We'll walk to the dinner place and then i can fly you over to the movies?" he asid with a smile.

[05:57] Alexina:
Lute’s eyes widen some when Ichi spoke of flight. He would glance back at the other both worried and a bit excited. He had wanted to know how it was to fly for some time now. “I don’t want to strain you.” He said softly although his eyes twinkled with a slight hope. He wasn’t big into movies, but if it was with Ichi he was sure he would enjoy it. “Do you want to take your shower first?”

[06:04] Kisa: Ichi smiled and shook his head. "It wont strain me at all. I'll be fine. I carried you in here from the living room last night." he said with a smile as he kissed him. "Come shower with me together and we'll be able to get going faster." he said with a smile while he hugged him. "You are a wonderful thing to keep around and i enjoy every moment with you so i'll love taking you in my arms and flying. Showing you the sky and how nice it is." he said with a smile.

[06:11] Alexina:
Lute blinked blushing some when Ichi spoke of the shower . . . perhaps he could return some of the favors he learned from last night to the boy as a surprise. Of course his smile faded when Ichi called him a thing. “I’m not an object.” He spoke softly, not really protesting but more muttering to himself. He stood either way and headed to the bathroom, if Ichi came or not.

[18:04] Kisa: Ichi walked to the door and took Lutes hand with his flesh one. "Its ok love." he said as he kissed the top of his head. He reached up with his metal one and gave a good hard knock, several time sending a loud banging through the door and probably through the house. He was going to be pissed if Elisa had just forgotten Lute and was letting him flip out all morning for no reason.

[18:16] silly: Jaren climbed off the bed a bit startled by the knock. "I ummmm." He peered at Elisa. Her hair was messed up a bit. "Stay here? I don't know who could be knocking on the door. Ummmm you might want to fix your hair. It's ummmmm sticking up." He rushed out of the room trying to smooth down his own hair. Why did something have to interupt. He came down the stairs then opened the door. He eyed the two standing there. "Excuse me. C...can I help you?" His hair was still messed up.

[18:21] Alexina:
Elisa blushed deeply when he spoke of her hair, instead of fixing it she just took it down. It would take too much time to fix after all, one handed that was. She was curious though should would at least have came to the bedroom door trying to listen.

Lute glanced up at the half-breed, he had no wings or tail, just ears . . . he couldn’t help wonder how he won over Elisa when many others tried and failed. “Um . . . “ He sighed trying to push the male aside and just enter. He didn’t have to answer, his sister was missing after all.

[18:27] Kisa: Ichi looked over the male as he answered the door. "Yeah. You can help us. Were looking for Elisa. Is she here? I assume she is cause you smell like her." He said getting in the males face and sniffing him. they had upset his love and Ichi wasn't happy. Growling when he smelled her all over him he helped move him aside so Lute could go look for her. "Why do you smell like her? Whats going on here?" He asked making sure to keep the halfbreed here while Lute was looking.

[18:34] silly: Lute managed to knock Jaren away from the door. He was standing on a small rug that slipped along the hardwood floor. "Hey!" He exclaimed. "T.....This is my house. Y...You have no right to barge in!" He glared at Ichi. Course he was smaller then the full grown noct sniffing him. "D....do you mind!" His ears were pinned flat against his head. "E...Elisa is u....upstairs. S...She is here on her own f....free will." It was none of this b*****d's business what they were doing either. "A...And what goes o....on in m....my house is o....our business!"

[18:37] Alexina:
Lute of course would ignore the two, his eyes glancing around, only to pause in awe almost when he saw Elisa. She NEVER had her hair down before around her, hell around anyone. She always kept it up in a childish fashion probably to keep guys away since they liked to crowd her. “Elisa?” He called up softly to her. “Are you alright.”

Elisa of course was aright sides the fact they were pushing around someone she cared about and ruined a good moment. She would grab for the nearest not valuable looking thing and throw it down aiming for Ichi. “You jerks! How dare you just come barging in?! I don’t do this to you guys! God knows how often I could have.”

[18:44] Kisa: Ichi growled at the male and shook his head. "We care which is why were here." he said as he caught the thing that Elisa threw at him and pushed it at the halfbreed. "Elisa Lute got a call from yout father and made it seem that you were in danger. Hes been worried all morning. If you had called or told him you were ok we wouldn't be here. you knew Lute was ok with me and not in danger. We had no idea where you were and it seems you are injured." he said looking at her arm. "Why does he smell like you? Are you sure hes not focing himself on you?" he asked eyeing the male none too kindly. "Calm Lute down and tell us why your father things your in danger and we'll leave."

[18:58] silly: Jaren stared up at Ichi who was towering over him. "I.....I.........care about her." It was lost in a soft whisper over the loud mouthed noct's yelling. He looked a bit startled as the vase was shoved at him. He felt the tears welling up in his eyes. Nobody ever gave him a chance they just assumed he was dangerous, but Elisa had seen past all of that. He couldn't take the accusings of him forcing himself onto her and got up and ran out of the room. The slamming of a door from the kitchen rang through the house. He ran towards the pond then sat down pulling his knees to his chest to softly cry.

[19:01] Alexina:
Elisa growled at Ichi annoyed, before glancing to Lute hearing what was said. “I don’t ALWAYS have to call do I?” She sighed shaken her head. “Father doesn’t like that I’m hanging with a half-breed.” She blushed some flapping her wings to fly down to Jaren’s side. “As for my smell, well I had to stay somewhere.” That of course had Lute looking bit anger. “Nothing SERIOUS happened . . . well yet.” She smirked teasing before pouncing Lute in a hug then Ichi. “There now you have my smell too.” She joked. She gave Jaren a look that pleaded for his forgiveness. “This is Lute, my brother, and Ichi, his . . . boytoy.” She smirked teasing serves him right for barging in and all. “And father . . . well . . . father wants me with some royal or higher level Noct than I am . . . and I haven’t found interest in any of them yet. He refused to let me see Jaren . . . so . . . I sort have ran away. If I told Lute . . . well . . . maybe he would have dragged me back and I didn’t want to risk that . . . not yet.” She paused when Jaren ran away and felt heartbroken actually moving to try to slap Ichi. “Now look what you did! I thought you two were better than this!” Of course she would have taken off after Jaren.

Lute glanced to Elisa a bit hurt at her words. He would never do her father’s bidding like that. “Or . . . I might have helped.” He said softly sighing confused on what she meant by running away. What were they doing together? He glanced over Jaren carefully. “Sides . . . what makes you worthy enough of her?” Of course the male would have fled by then . . . and Lute wouldn’t seem happy at all. “He can’t even protect her!” He would protest to Ichi.

[19:42] Kisa: Ichi watched this all happen and frowned. "Did it really come off that i was put off by hiss breed? I could care less if he was an outcast or a brute." he looked at Elisa as she hugged him to get her smell on him. "Great now i smell like a girl..." he said as he brushed off his button up and looked at Lute as he spoke. He nodded. "Hes too soft. He needs to stand up for himself as well as her. I wasn't trying to be that mean was i? But now i'm going to be and he needs to suck it up to keep her safefrom her father." he folowed them and looked over the two of them. "I don't give a s**t what breed of antything you are. If you were a fish i would still be mad at this! My love has been worried and we didn't know what was going on. She has pushed many away from her and not shown interest so excuse me for assuming you were taking advantage of her but what else should i have thought if i don't know how...this..." he said gesturing to the two of them, "Happened. But you need to suck it up and stop crying! Stop acting like a child. She is a princess! And she needs a knight to protect her so suck it up! I wasn't even being mean. But i will be if you don't start acting like a man. If your kissing her and thinking about more then you need to act like one. Now i don't care how this happened but Lute needs to know his sister is ok and why she has a broken arm. And Yes Elisa he needs you to call every day. I think its one of the things that keeps him going." he said as he stroked Lutes face softly. "Talk." he said gently pulling Lute closer to the two so he could talk to them better and know what was going on.

[20:07] silly: Jaren blinked looking at Elisa as she joined him. "S...S...Sorry." He softly whispered. His ears pinned back when he heard the loud mouthed jerk come up. He got a strange look on his face then got up and slugged Ichi as hard as he could in the face. "D....D...Don't use s...such language in front of her!" Ohhh god he just punched a noct twice his size. He stood his ground glaring at Ichi. "Y...You speak without t....thinking. You b....barged into my house and had the nerve to call m...me dangerous!" He seemed to puff up a bit. "And you dare to suggest that I would force myself onto Elisa. I'm not like that. You didn't even get me a chance! You are all the same! Loud mouthed bullies always judging before knowing the facts. I hate people like you!" He could be rough if need be. Though he really prefered not to fight with others.

[20:14] Alexina:
Elisa if she got the slap off would be shaken her hand, it stung a little. She really shouldn’t go around hitting others if it hurt her more. She was worried for Jaren and she couldn’t even get a word in Ichi had followed so quickly and started to bark. She had turned red, be it out of anger or blushing who knew. He did say a few sweet things after all. It was the punch that Jaren threw that shocked her, her eyes going to Jaren surprised before at once running to try to get between them, afraid Jaren might get hurt.

Lute shook his head at Ichi, “You were just being defensive, he shouldn’t have ran off so easily.” He frowned annoyed. “It’s like he’s used to fleeing when it gets rough." Following Ichi he would just stand there and listen. He of course would sigh when being pushed, there wasn’t more left to say . . . Ichi had said it all after all. Of course as soon as Lute saw Jaren aim a blow his green glowing eyes dimmed dangerously. He would be stepping in, and actually willing to toss Elisa in the pond if he had to just to get to the guy. In fact he would, with a splash, knowing she would be safe and out of the way there. “Now you asked for it, you obviously are the dangerous one if you’re going to attack when we are just talking.” He growled, he had yet to accuse anyone, and he wouldn’t allow Ichi to be even aimed for like that. Elisa was one thing, she couldn’t hurt him, this stranger was another.


[22:02] Kisa: Ichi had caught Ellisa's slap but he let the male punch him. He took it and let him talk and looked at Lute pulling him close so he didn't do anything. the hit hadn't hurt, he could feel in it that he didn't want to really hurt him. He looked ver the male and smiled. "I do not judge. It would be rude of me with my c ondition. I do not hate you or mean anything by it. Like i said i worry about the most important person to my Lute! Hes mine and his happiness means more to me then anything your feeling! You need to listen cause im not calling you dangerous. Her father made it seem like she was in danger. Don't put words in my mouth cause thats a game you will quickly lose. I'm smarter then i look and i just want my Lute happy! This whole day he hasn't been anything but worried! Stop studdering and suck it up. That hit was a one time thing cause we did barge in here and make a fuss. But you need to protect her and suck it up. Don't make me have to hurt you back." he said as he spit a little blood to the grass away from them. "Try it again and i'll hit you back my self. I know how to hit too and i would not like that." he said with a raaised brow. He liked this litlte fiestyness that he saw in lute about it and he smiled as he hugged him close to his side. It made him all tingly to know Lute loved him enough to stand up for him.

[22:12] silly: Jaren shook a bit knowing for sure both the males were going to come down on him. He gasped when Lute pushed Elisa into the pond. "Elisa!" He reached out grabbing at air. He cringed when she landed in the pond with a splash. "She..... shouldn't get her cast wet." He waded in listening to Ichi talking. "I only hit you because you cussed in front of Elisa." He gently picked her up out of the water and held her close. "You alright?" He softly whispered to her. "I'm a half breed." He spoke as he waded back to the side. "I'm no more dangerous then anybody else. Elisa fell out of a tree and broke her arm. I put her in a sling and tried to take her to the clinic. I was not the one who hurt her if that is what her father is saying. I stutter when I'm scared or nervous. I've been beaten up all my life by everyone for being what I am. I can defend myself and her if I have to."

[22:19] Alexina:
Lute actually gave a cute gasp as Ichi held him, still growling some at the half-breed in front of him. This wasn’t over as far as he was concern . . . especially after Ichi spit up blood. If it was anyone else holding him back he would have fought free. “You’re lucky this time.” He would growl his anger fully clear to see.

Elisa only knew she was in front of Jaren one moment and soak and wet the next. It was COLD to boot and she shivered, only to have Jaren pick her up. Her hair sticking to her dainty form, and her clothes close to see through now she would just cling to Jaren for warmth. “Lute you jerk!” She barked through chattering teeth. “What are you trying to do get me sick as well!”

[22:37] Kisa: Ichi kissed the top of Lutes head knowing he was riled up. "You will be ok love." he said with a smile as he looked at the others. "Have i made you think iw ant to hurt you? Have i acted like i was going to? You have nothign to fear from me if shes happy and Lute is happy with this. They need to talk. Lute needs his sister and hes been worried. like i said this was all to make him happy and you have made it into what it shouldn't have been. Hes not happy now. And i'm sure Elisa is far from happy. I'm sorry to have ruined this but we needed to know what was up. Were not going to sick her dad on you both. We don't care what you are or what you do. If shes safe and Lute is happy thats what matters." he said as he looked at Lute. "Doi you want to go or do you want to talk to your sister moer?" he asked walking towards the house assuming they should get Elisa dry.

[22:50] silly: Jaren peered at Elisa then turned bright red immediately taking his eyes off her. "I was frightened what do you expect? You both barged into my house like you owned it." He came out of the pond carrying Elisa. He ran past the two carrying her close. "There are towels inside Elisa and you look about my mothers size. There are some of her clothes in her bedroom." He gently set her on her feet just inside the kitchen. "Go up and change." He turned blocking the two from entering the house at least until he heard her leave. He peered at the two male's his ears dropped. "I'm....sorry I hit you. But please do not cuss in front of Elisa. She is a lady and should be respected as such. And any gentleman should know not to use such vulgar language in front of a lady." He wasn't wanting to fight he just wanted to explain why he was upset and punched Ichi.

[22:54] Alexina:
Lute of course moved with Ichi not letting his eyes leave Jaren. “I want to do something else first.” He wasn’t going to just let it go it seemed. No one could hurt Ichi without getting hurt back as long as Lute was concerned. He let Elisa shriek she was upset, he knew she would be, but when she calmed . . . then maybe she would understand why they had came.

Elisa of course would sigh and head up to that main bath. Starting the hot water to sink in and settled there instead. Her caste was ruined as is.

It was when Jaren blocked the door and was free of Elisa that Lute actually pulled away from Ichi. Walking over he would try to punch Jaren HARD in the stomach, if lucky enough breaking a few ribs. “Don’t . . . ever hit Ichi again.” He said coldly, he probably looked very scare, almost demon like if not avenging angel. “I’ll let that settle as even . . . do it again, and I might just kill you, if Elisa hates me for it or not.”


[23:07] Kisa: Ichi watched her go and looked at him. "She would be able to hold her own with me cussing if i want to. Shes met my mother and she cuses more then i do. She makes me seem like a saint." He said before he watched Lute punch the other in the stomach. He smiled at him and wrapped his arms around Lute and pulled him close. "You are beautiful when your mad." he whispered to him as he held him. "Are you ok Jaren?" He asked holding Lute gently to make sure he didn't get hurt back or try anything again. "We'll leave after Lute and Elisa talk about this ok?" he said as he kissed Lutes neck softly. Damn he was attractive like this.

[23:12] silly: Jaren groaned as he was punched. He wouldn't fight back. He explained himself and said sorry. He got was he deserved in his eyes. "I.........won't...........fight......you."

[23:14] Alexina:
Lute finally seemed to be calming some after the punch, leaning into Ichi some and sighing. “We’re done here.” He said a bit cold. “She won’t talk to me if she’s mad at me, we would be wasting our time.” He glanced to Jaren before smirking some. “I said that made us even, why do you talk about fighting?” He shrugged heading to leave out the front door, going home with Ichi.

[03:39] Kisa: Ichi went inside and got the food and paid for it. He walked back out and smiled. "Lute i would give anything now for my siblings, but back then i hated everyone. Except my mother. Im her favorite even though she wont tell the other two that i am." he said as he headed home. "Why wouldn't shee forgive you if i killed someone for hurting you?"

[03:43] Alexina:
Lute glanced to Ichi wondering how anyone could live hate everyone only to shake his head. “Well, she doesn’t like violence, it was a surprise she even took a swing at you.” He shrugged shaken his head some more. “And . . . I think she may have a thing for that one. So killing him . . . would get us in the dog house for sure.”

[03:46] Kisa: "Oh i have no plans on killing him. Not unless he really hurts you then i'll think about it. She does like him enough to try and slap me. But i just want her safe and i was mad that she didn't tell you what was up and you were so upset." he said pulling into the lot for their place and heading up with him. "What do you think her dad will do?"

[03:49] Alexina:
Lute of course was still slightly upset, he knew Elisa probably was mad and wouldn’t talk to him for awhile now. “Hm?” He glanced up as Ichi’s question interrupted his thought process. “Oh . . . to be honest I don’t really care.” Lute’s tone was suddenly cold. “I don’t deal with her family . . . he seems a collector of sorts, it was one reason I didn’t stay.”

[03:51] Kisa: Ichi nodded and smiled at him as he kissed the top of his head and opened the door to their place. "Sounds interesting. And im glad your so fiesty." he said with a smile as he set out the food.

[03:53] Alexina:
“Fiesty?” Lute blinked not taken his opinions as that before. Of course he would go and start some tea while Ichi got things ready. “I don’t see how the few things that rub me wrong tend to turn you on though. I try to be laid back and not let things get to me, seeing as there will always be something trying to push your buttons.”

[03:59] Kisa: Ichi smiled at him and nodded. "Yes thats what i would call you. And your so calm like normal that i cant help but get so turned on when you get mad." he said with a smile. "It was the sexiest ive ever seen you." he said with a smile as he kissed him and brought out forks. "Not as many buttons pushed since you as it used to be." he said with a smile.

[04:06] Alexina:
Lute merely sighed and shook his head; he didn’t get it at all. If Ichi preferred that sort of man, why did he decide on Lute? He was sure there were many out there who would be easy to anger and such. “I’m sorry if I don’t please you in that way often enough.”

[04:10] Kisa: Ichi laughed a little. "lute i love everything about you. I love that your so cute and quiet. And i love how you can get mad when defending me." he pulled Lute close and kissed him softly. "Your perfect. Your mine and i love you. Your more then i thought i could have in my life. And i mean it when i say you don't need to change or worry about me, i never need anyone but you to make me happy."
