She let out a little chuckle, wiping her face carelessly as her pink hair stuck to the sides of her face.
"you know… " she sat back into his arms hesitantly. "I did it on purpose. The pink hair I mean" she says closing her eyes and leaning on him, letting his arms go around her. She remembered their first night oh so vividly it was almost ridiculous. The feeling of his hands on her body sent shivers down her spine. The horrible feeling of terror and nostalgia she pushed down her throat and let herself enjoy the moment. Convincing herself he wouldn't hurt her as everyone else had in the past.
As the weeks passed she finally fully trusted him not to hurt her.
“Yoi did? I’m guessing so people would never forget you?” King responded offering some semi meaningful reason. He held her close and one of hands started to calmly thread through her hair. Memories of their first night together popped into his head and he, he didn’t regret anything. It had eventually lead to this even if it had taken time for their strange relationship to blossom like it did, was, is.
She laughed a bit, though the only way you could tell was her chest rising and falling a little and the soft sound of air through her lips before she persed them together. "no, I sing when I don't want them to forget. Putting images in their mind. I did it because I knew someone would recognize me. Secretly… I wanted to get caught. I wanted to have a chat with the big guys. Oh, that would have been so much fun" she sighed thinking about it. "I wanted someone to know who I was" she says running her fingers through her hair. "I like being on the run anyway. Whether my sister was with me or not. Well… She's not even my sister but that doesn't matter" she rolled her eyes.
"good guess though"
“I never would have guessed you wanted to get caught,” King murmured to her softly. The earlier use of his power finally taking its full effect on King as the remainder of his adrenaline dissipated. He had a soft smile on his face as he held her fighting off sleep, “I never wanted anyone to know. It would just put them at risk with how many villains I’ve pissed off. I’m sorry I ruined your big reveal. I can probably arrange that meeting if you want to though.”
"no no, it's fine. You're sweet though." she looked up at him. Noticing his sleepiness, she readjusted herself to make him comfortable. Maybe they would fall asleep right there. She was pretty sleepy herself.
Letting out a small yawn as she relaxed on his chest. "you seem tired. I can go home and let you sleep if you'd like"
“No, it’s fine. You don’t have to go if you don’t want to,” King responded hoping his silent plea for her to stay came through. He shifted slightly to make her more comfortable as well. His tired eyes kept their focus on her even though sleep threatened to close them.
"I don't want to go to be honest" she says cuddling closer. She wondered if he had ice-cream… No she wasn't going to eat ice cream now. She'll ask him tomorrow.
"but you can sleep if you'd like. We can talk tomorrow" she says nuzzling her head to his warm chest and closing her eyes listening to his heartbeat.
King let out a silent sigh of relief that she wasn't leaving. He yawned and finally let his eyes shut not caring that if Preston came home he was going to have so many questions, "That would be nice. Really, really nice."
(Should they just end up sleeping together on the couch and we skip?)
(This is really cute though)
(This is adorable. And yeah we can skip with them sleeping at the couch.)
(Okay XD)
As soon as the light fled into the living room Arias green eyes fluttered open only to be intertwined with King. Looking up at him, a small smile rose on her face before she set her head back on his chest. She was still in the tight leather suit she wore when doing her “work”. Remembering last night she let out a sigh.
Closing her eyes again, she decided to wait until King woke up.
King woke up from his deep sleep his mind a little groggy as to how he ended up with Aria on top of him, in a leather suit. Then he realized he still was in his hero uniform and remembered the events. This was going to be an interesting conversation when it happened. He was going to wait until Arianwoke up, or at least showed signs she was awake. He still couldn't wrap his head around the fact that Aria was Mercy. But he guessed it made some sense.
She wasn't actually surprised to know he was a hero. He studied law school and she always had this underlying suspicioun.
When she felt his heart rate speed up as everyone did for a second when they woke up, she looked up at him. "hey~" she says in a soothing soft voice. It was obvious she was pretty tired though
"Hey," King responded holding Aria close. He gave her a soft tired smile since he had just woken up. He could tell she was tired and assumed it was also because she had just woken up. He didn't know where to take the conversation from there. It felt dangerous to talk about last night at least in his eyes.
She sat up and looked down before yawning, her hair falling in her face before she pushed it away.
"sleep well?" she turned back to him, trying to not think about last night.
"Yeah, how about you?" King responded sitting up as well. He stretched slightly his muscles sore from sleeping on the couch with Aria on top of him.
She moved off of him so he could stretch. And she was probably heavy and she felt quite bad.
“I was pretty tired last night, so i was out before i could think about sleeping” she says with a small laugh.
“Are you okay?” She decided to ask him
"Yeah I'm okay," King responded giving her a grin at her comment. He was able to stretch fully with her off of him. Once he had done that he reached around her and pulled her close to him again, "How about you?"
Pleasantly surprised when he pulled her in again, she nuzzled into him "I'm always okay" she says quietly. That's what she would say when she never was and it was quite obvious. A lot of things happened to her in her life. Of course she wouldn't be okay.
King didn't believe her having heard that statement a few times before. He held her close to him and kissed her forehead gently. He looked at her, still avoiding the topic of last night and the shit that came with it "Well if you ever feel not okay. I'm here to talk."
She let out a sigh and closed her eyes. Her outfit was getting a bit uncomfortable. But she didn't think about that at the moment. She wanted to just let him now everything. Which she actually could show him without even telling him using her illusionist powers. She's done it before. She would some other time. But not now..
"okay, but that might be a while." she says jokingly.
King laughed softly as he looked at her with a goofy smile. Maybe, maybe he should tell her. He didn't want to, didn't know if he could yet. There was a lot of shit that came with his story that he wasn't sure he wanted Aria to know yet. If he wanted anyone to know, the idea of telling anyone freaked him the fuck out. He was content with just holding her and letting her think what she wanted, "I'm sure it will, miss 'I'm always okay'."
She sat up, letting her hair fall over his shoulders. "we should probably get ready for the day. I'm sure I've left some of my clothes here before" she says with a small laugh before running her hands through her hair. "this outfits getting quite annoying anyway. I've never worn it for this long"
King smiled at her as she moved. He remembered the outfit she was currently wearing being mainly leather and figured yeah. That wouldn't be comfortable. He let go of her carefully and moved just slightly, "I think you have some in my room. You can change first if you want too."
