(Be back tomorrow.)
(Be back tomorrow.)
(Okay.)
(Never mind. I got a little extra time…)
Ember burst into tears again and clung to Axel. "D-don't leave m-me please…." She didn't want to be alone again… "P-please…. don't…." She couldn't get the words out. She just held him, shaking, trying to get herself together again.
(Lol, Atlas? And nice to see ya back.)
Axel hugged her close and leaned into her. “I’ll never leave. I’ll always be here for you when you need me.” He squeezed her.
Ember looked up at him with a watery smile and started wiping her face with her sleeve. "I-I'm sorry… I didn't mean to over… over react like that…"
Axel took his scarf and wiped her tears with it, smiling kindly. “You don’t need to apologize. I understand.”
Ember sniffed and smiled, hugging him. "What did you want to talk to me about before Serenity came in?"
Axel sighed and wrapped the scarf around her neck. “Well, I wanted to ask you if… if you wanted to be my girlfriend. But she kinda ruined the mood.”
Ember's eyes widened as she clasped the scarf. "You- …you really mean it?" 'Please let him be serious. Please let him be serious.'
Axel smiled and took her hands again. “Of course I mean it. You’re a wonderful woman and I’d love to have you at my side.”
Ember's eyes widen some more and she threw her arms around him. "Yes, yes, a thousand times, yes!!" She snuggled her face into his neck, perfectly happy and content.
Axel laughed and hugged her close, curling his head close to hers. “Great! Great! Thank you. You’re an amazing woman. I’m so glad to have you.”
Ember bit her lip and then did something she had wanted to do for a while. She closed her eyes and crushed her lips against his.
Axel started but met her into the kiss with his soft lips. He pulled her even closer into their hug, holding his breath.
(Fangirl squeals)
Ember slipped her arms from around his waist and slipped them around his neck, slipping a hand into his soft hair. She leaned into him, giving the tiniest little sigh.
Axel smiled a bit into the kiss and shut his eyes. He loved her so much already. She deserved everything he could possibly ever give her.
Ember pulled back a little so she could get some air. She opened her eyes and looked at Axel's handsome face. "You're really mine now…" she murmured, giving a small smile. But then she worried. 'What about all the other parts he doesn't know about? Will he still accept me if I tell him? How * do *I tell him? It's not exactly something you can drop into a casual conversation. "Oh yeah, I have a alcoholic mother who used to beat me and I've attempted suicide a couple times. By the way, how'd you like that show on tv last night?" ' She tucked her head under his and fretted.
Axel smiled and rubbed her back. “I am yours. And you mine.” He made a faint noise when she tucked away under his chin.
“Are you okay, babe?”
Ember squirmed a little. "It's nothing really. It's just…" she sighed. "There some things you should know about me and I'm not really sure how to tell you them…"
Axel put a hand on the side of her face and kissed her gently. “Do you want to go back to my dorm? There you can tell me.”
Ember said, "Yeah. That'd probably be best…." She then she leaned into the kiss. She slipped her hands from his neck and down to his chest. She smiled a little as she pulled back again. She grabbed his hand and nuzzled his nose.
She tugged on his hand lightly, "Why don't we go now…?" She was nervous, and her fidgeting showed it.
Axel nuzzled back and kissed her gently again. “Whatever you wish, my love. My dorm’s just up this hill.” He pointed and started to lead her up.
Ember let herself be led to his dorm, holding his hand tightly. She didn't want to lose him now. She gave a small smile with flushed cheeks as she realized he had just called her "his love". Her heart felt like it could burst with both her anxiety, love, and happiness.
Axel led her into the fancy dorm complex and up into his room. His roommate’s bed was empty again. He sighed at it briefly and sat her down on his comfy bed.
“You can sleep with me, or on my roommate’s bed. I don’t care.”
Ember's face colored and she stammered out, "S-sleep w-with you please..?" She looked at the empty roommate's bed. She sat down next to Axel. "Where does he go? I've never even met him yet."
Axel sat down next to her, shrugging. “He’s a student that travels around the world. He’s in a Photography major, sooo….” He grinned. “At least we won’t be disturbed tonight.”
Ember nodded and muttered, "That's really cool." As Axel told her about his friend's major. Then her cheeks flushed when he made his last comment and looked at her hands like they were the most interesting thing in the world. She stuffed all possibly inappropriate thoughts down. [Yes, even an innocent girl like her can have a dirty mind]
(Laughs hysterically)
(chuckles evilly)
“So ah… what’d you want to do tonight?” He grinned at her, tilting his head. He had to just ignore the fact a beautiful girl was sitting on his bed.
(ignore… Mmhm. You go ahead and try Axel. I'll sit here and watch.)
Ember colored a little more and played with her hair. Braid, unbraid. Braid, unbraid. She shrugged a little. "I-I don't know. What would you like to do?" she asked softly. 'Lair. You know exactly what you want to do…'
