Chloe gave a small flustered sigh as she stepped toward the edge of the balcony. It was much cooler out here and less crowded. She took another sip of her drink, giving a small glance over her shoulder hopefully.

She'd invited Aphismet to join her out here but she was afraid perhaps he wouldn't come..

Aphismet soon emerged through the door, blushing only slightly thanks to the influence of the alcohol. Drink in hand, the man walked forward to stand next to Chloe, far enough away that it would not be considered improper.

"Um, it really is nice out here, isn't it?" he said, looking around. The view of the city at night was breathtaking, especially from a higher floor like this. "Reminds me of the view from the restaurant," he noted to himself with a smile. Turning his eyes to Chloe, he asked, his mind flip-flopping from one subject to another in a dizzy rush: "How are you enjoying the party?"

Chloe smiled as Aphismet soon came out, she turned her gaze back outward, to the dim sights of night. "A-Ah... yes... it's very nice. N-Not as hot as inside." She leaned a little against the railing, long vibrantly pink hair falling over her shoulders as she did so. "O-Oh.. it's so.. i-i-it's wonderful."

With a shy smile she turned to look at Aphismet, a slight flush across her cheeks. "I-I have s-s-such good friends... th-that they'd do something like this. Dr. Kyou, too."

"Oh, you're both worth it, and then some! You both work so hard, to get us the Raevans, and tend to the lab...Besides, I'm sure everyone loves a party!" He added with a laugh, lifting his Ceasar and taking a sip.

"I actually wish I'D thought of it," Aph admitted with a shy smirk, as he also turned to look out at the cityscape again. It was hard not to keep glancing over at Chloe and her beautiful hair, gorgeous gown, blushing cheeks... "I knew only a few people here tonight. You have lots of friends who care a lot for you, Chloe."

Aph realized he couldn't think of any more conversation. They'd already covered the weather out here, and the day's events were pretty much discussed too... Hm. He plucked at the other obvious thing they had in common. "I saw Roux dancing... He was quite good at it!" He smiled encouragingly.

"O-Oh... s-s-some faces I didn't recognize b-but.. y-yes.." She looked upward, past the horizon into the sky. The stars had always been a source of comfort and interest to her. "Th-There were a few.. I w-was really happy t-t-to see here, though." She took another sip of her drink. A little while ago she'd wondered if she was beginning to feel a little tipsy but now the thought didn't strike her very much. She was content out here.

"O-Oh!" She gave a small laugh. "I know! I saw him too... he looked like he was really e-enjoying himself! Rivener isn't bad at it either... o-or you.." She blushed lightly again.

Oh, what was this... she was feeling silly for feeling so shy around Aphismet. They'd known each other for a while now, and had met alone on more than one occasion.

Aphismet laughed. "It's very polite of you to say that I danced well. I know I'm passable at best. YOU were really good though! Your robot is very mechanical and erm... Well, it looks like it should! Mine is kinda rubbery and silly-looking." He chuckled. "But yeah, Riv was good too. It's nice to see how close he and Roux are; although to be honest, Roux still scares me a lot." He blushed and hunched up his shoulders, ashamed of having to admit that. Normally he wouldn't have said anything, but with the drinks coursing through him, he found himself more chatty than normal.

"I'm really happy I got an invitation. I would have been very sad if I had missed seeing you in that beautiful dress, with your hair down, so pretty..."

His eyes snapped open wide, and he looked out into the city. Hocrap! He'd just blurted it out without thinking! Hopefully she wouldn't read too much into it... How embarrassing.

Chloe flushed shyly at the compliment, bringing her eyes quickly down from the heavens to her toes. "Th-Thank you... I feel a little.. s-sill to be honest.."

She stood awkwardly beside Aphismet - the drinks she had were affecting her a bit as well, and for the life of her she couldn't think of anything interesting to say... usually she could find something. So instead she shuffled a little from one foot to the other.

It was then that she remembered she was shoeless... and couldn't stifle a silly laugh that bubbled up and out.

Aphismet smiled sheepishly at the laugh, looking over. He assumed (wrongly of course) that she was laughing at him for telling her she was pretty.

"W-why would you feel silly? You ARE pretty! ...Why are you laughing?" he found himself asking, startled at his own words. Who knew he'd have the guts to ask something like that so directly? Being partly drunk, he supposed he found no reason not to ask, but still. It was surprising to hear himself.

Chloe gave a half turn and lifted her dress up partially, enough to show her feet and her legs nearly to her knees. She wiggled her toes lightly and gave another small chuckle. "I don't have any shoes on... I haven't this whole time."
PostPosted: Sat Apr 28, 2007 12:29 pm


Aphismet blinked. W-was this why she'd been laughing? A surge of relief flew through him, and he let out a hearty laugh, almost bending over. He had to hold onto the balcony railing for support. Wiping a tear, he finally managed to say: "Oh, I thought you were laughing at me for thinking you were pretty. Or for saying it. I just, I worry too much." He shook his head. "I should know by now that you wouldn't laugh at me."

He smiled over at her now that he could stand up straight again. "I don't think anyone knew about the no-shoes thing," he chuckled. "But it made for more comfortable dancing, I'm sure!"

He took another deep gulp of his drink, the last of it. Aph placed the empty glass on the floor near the railing, to make sure he didn't knock it over the side. He leaned on the railing, looking out at the sky. "This was a really fun evening," he noted, mostly to himself.

Chloe fretted as he spoke, he'd thought she was laughing at him? Never! She waited till he seemed to be done before speaking up, her voice soft and nervous, hands flitting slightly in half-minded gestures

"W-Why would I l-laugh at you..? I.. I was... ah-ah... I m-mean.. Th-Thank y-AH!"

She'd gone to take a step toward him to further try to appeal, but somehow her foot got caught on the flowing, silky garment. The dress went tight at the bottom and Chloe was falling forward, arms extending to grab for the nearest thing to stay up...

...which happened to be Aphismet. Her cheek pressed tight against his chest as she was half bent forward, hands tightly gripping his arms. Her mind didn't fail to notice that he smelt rather pleasant, an undefinable mixture of scents that would forever be labeled as Aphismet in her mind.

Aphismet had been turning to face Chloe with a smile, to ease her worries about his silly conclusions, when she'd tripped and...

His heart stopped for a moment as his brain forced itself to realize that he was holding her, now. He'd reached out instinctively to try and keep her from falling, and she'd done the same, reaching out for something stable to keep up. And now, she was right there in his arms, her cheek against him.

His heart restarted and raced to catch up the missing beats, pumping a mile a minute. Aph felt his cheeks burn. "A... are you alright?" he nearly whispered, voice low since she was so close. He slowly took a step towards her so she could regain her balance and straighten, his hands staying on her arms to tilt her up, making sure she didn't fall again.

Her face was so close now. He could smell her hair, so flowery...

Chloe straightened, using Aphismet's support greatfully. She instinctivly took a step closer as well, paying extra mind to not step on the hem of her dress again. She looked up, flushing at how close he was. Her face felt hot all of a sudden and her heart beat.

What if...

Her eyes widened slightly in alarm at her own thought, it was a good thing she'd lost her drink somewhere during the fall (and not on herself or Aphismet). She didn't need anymore...

"I-I'm... okay.. Th-Thank you."

But for some reason she couldn't bring herself to move away. She felt nervous and afraid but at the same time... She licked her lips shyly, taking a deep breath, her eyes fluttering lightly. "Ah.." Her fingers squeezed a little tighter on Aphismet's arm.

Aphismet thought he could litterally catch fire any second now. He was so warm! His face felt like a hot coal, feverish and sensitive to the night wind. His heart was racing so fast he couldn't discern individual beats anymore, the dull thumping in his ears drowning out the sounds of the city below, leaving only Aph and Chloe. He could hear her breathe, and when she let out the little "Ah," it sounded as loud as an explosion.

He couldn't step away either. He felt her fingers pressure on his arms lightly, and was highly aware, suddenly, of how very VERY close they were.

Her eyes were so... Blue. So very blue. He smiled unconsciously. She was so beautiful, and to think that she was right here with him, only him. She had been the one to ask him out here, even. She wanted to be here with him? ...She did, didn't she?

Bosltered by the alcohol and his rare moment of clarity, Aph leaned down slightly and kissed Chloe shyly, pulling away for a moment soon after, to make sure he hadn't overstepped his welcome.

Chloe's eyes closed instinctivly when Aphismet leaned forward, tilting her head up to recieve the kiss. It was chast and she noticed how soft it felt, and then he pulled back and she took a breath of cool night air and looked up at him.

Her face felt flushed and she immediatly looked down. She didn't know what to say but she didn't want to make Aphismet worry. Rather than standing there silent she shyly slid her arms around his chest and hugged him, closing her eyes as she rested her cheek against his shoulder.

"D...D-Do you th-think it's because w-we've had something to drink..?" Her voice was shy and timid. She found herself at a loss of some sort.
