"I wouldn't do that if I where you" the sound of a wicked grin in Eves voice, but sadly she didn't have a threat planed. She could only hope he'd fall for her bluff and pull back. Eve tightened her grip on the book refusing to let go. "How much time is left?" She asked.
"I don't know, I'm to busy trying to get this book from you." He felt the tip of the book and right as he was about to grab the book his alarm went off. "Dang it!" He pulled his arm out and shyly on the floor. "Okay, you win."
Eve poked her head out from the safety of her wings and laughed, "HA!" She shouted joy in her voice. "I like human games" a normal smile on her face. As she said so her wings molted back into her back and she put the book back to where it had once been.
"Does that hurt?" He pointed to his own back. It looked painful when she did that. He was happy that she was happy though, even if he was going to be her slave for a day.
"Huh? Only a little. It used to hurt more. But you get used to it after a couple hundred years" Eve shrugged a big grin still on her face. She thought for a second, "30%" she said with no explanation.
"What?" He pushed himself from the ground and looked down at her, arms crossed. "What does 30% mean?" Conner was concerned for himself, he wasn't sure if this was a good idea.
"That's for me to know and you to find out." Eve turned her grin into more of a sweet one now, "lets just say 30% not that bad for someone like you" she met his eyes hers sending a challenge of her own.
"Come on just tell me." He looked at her the same way, not willing to back down. "I won't leave you alone until you do." There had to be a way for him to get her to tell him. Taking off his shirt won't do it because she's used to that by now.
"31 percent." Eve said turning to walk back to her room, "and for the record, I don't think you'll ever figure it out"
(Time skip? Few months? Unless you had something planned.)
(No, that's fine we can time skip. I just don't know how I'll start it because I don't know what's going on.)
(Oofty oof. I can start it.)
(Okay. That will help a lot.)
It'd been a few months now and Eve had let herself fall in love, stupid she'd tell herself every morning. one day he's going to leave and you'll be heart broken she shook her thoughts from her head and skipped down the halls to Connors room, "hey!" She shouted threw the door.
"Come in." He had gotten used to waking up early and didn't need her to wake up anymore. He was dress and just waiting for her to come get him. Conner fell for Eve a long time ago, he just got good at hiding it at this point.
"Up so soon?" Eve joked coming in. "I would have guessed you'd still be asleep." As always it was long before the sun as they could escape the heat of the day. "So. What wonderous adventure shall we embark apon today cutie?" She couldn't stop herself, crap "Connor I ment Connor" her face went a bright red.
"Hm.." Conner crossed his arms and a smirk tugged at the corner of his lip. "Cutie?" A small laugh escaped his lips. "Well beautiful, I'm not sure what we are going to do today." Using his hand he brushed through his hair.
"I ment Connor!" Eve puffed out her cheeks the red still not leaving her face. "And- its-" she was flustered. "Whatever!" She shouted. She crossed her arms over her chest but didn't leave.
"How cute." He mumbled to himself with a smile on his face. "I know, I was just joking." He walked passed her and poked her cheek. "Do you have any ideas for what we should do today?"
"Bugs?" Eve asked a small smile tugging at her lips, "how do you feel about bugs?" There was a bug museum not far from the castle and the live bug part was truly a sight. The bugs in hell where much worse then those of earth.
"I don't mind them." He shrugged. Eve looked really good today to Conner but lately she always looked good. "Have you been doing something different lately?" It didn't hurt to ask. He studied her, looking at her clothes and hair trying to figure it out.
"Different?" Eve asked confused. All that was different was that she'd been dressing in normal clothing lately. But its not like Connor really saw her, or was here yet at that time. "What do you mean?" She asked still very confused.
"Never mind it doesn't matter." He continued down the hallway. The past few weeks he has been trying to figure out a way for them to be together, that is of course when Eve actually falls for him. All Conner knew is that he didn't want to be separated. "Alright, let's go."
Eve skipped down the hall then out the doors, the museum was a dark green with little to no windows, "I hope you have a strong stomach." A grin tugged at her lips. Inside it was lit by black lights giving everything an eerie glow. A giant beetle buzzed by Connors face and Eve smiled a little.
Conner jumped back and looked to Eve knowing that she was going to laugh. "That was not a bug, that was a dinosaur." That thing was the size of his face. The green tint to the room didn't help the eerie feeling that he was already feeling.
"Pfft, no it was a bug. And one of the smaller ones at that." Eve pointed to something the size of a small cat, "and that's still pretty small." It had a long tail with six big wings on its back along with four legs. Giant horns jutting out from its head and a sickening slurping noise came from it as it ate something. "Just try not to let anything sting you. It may be deadly for humans." She laughed again and did something bold, even for her. She took Connors hand in hers and led him around explaining bugs and how they got so big.
Conner blushed at Eve taking his hand, he was happy it was so dark or she would see. For a moment he forgot about the bug, that was until he heard the slurping noise again. "I thought these were going to be small bugs." He was not happy about being here. "And why aren't they in cages or something?"
"What, scared or something?" Eve gave a smug grin before being smacked in the face by a rather large bug. The look of shock plastered on her face as if she wanted to scream but wouldn't allow herself too, "i- I wasn't expecting that." She let out a sharp breath.
Conner cover his mouth to stop from laughing, but it slipped out and he laughed. "To answer you're question, yes I am a bit scared, I won't lie." He squeezed Eve's hand, not from being scared, but because he wanted to see her reaction. For a long time now he's been wanting to tell her how he feels, but of Satan heard he would send him back.
(Ack sorry Wednesdays are always super busy for me.)
Eve pulled her hand from Connors remembering that it was there. "We should go." She mumbled looking down and feeling her face turn red.
"Do you know that way out? Because I can't see a thing." He laughed and tried to find a wall he could follow. This place would be the perfect time to kiss her, because she wouldn't be able to punch me. Conner shook his head. No, that's low even for me.
