how could i ever forget // outside the morning was cool and wet

[It's not often Ajax finds himself getting his head slammed down onto the hood of a car, least of all a cop car. Usually it's him doing the slamming.

But today the young man finds himself denting the hood, the sound of metal caving in under his head ringing in his ears. Not exactly the ideal situation he was hoping for, but he figured sooner or later he'd have a run in with the cops due to the sensitive nature of his profession, but that doesn't mean he has to like how inconsiderate they are with him as they cuff him and throw him in the back of the paddy wagon. Not that he was considerate to them when he was discovered, as evidenced by the blood all over his clothing and knuckles from the fight he'd gotten into with them. How he managed to avoid getting shot is beyond him- plenty of shots were fired, but that hadn't stopped him from knocking a few of them out.

It's just too bad he'd been instructed that he couldn't kill anyone, or else he'd of gotten out of there without being caught.

The lights of the police station are bright, almost too bright from the contrast of how dark it was outside. Ajax squints as he's dragged inside, held tightly by two cops who hurry him through the station, but not fast enough that he doesn't catch a glimpse of the secretary behind the desk as they come in. Pretty, blonde, looking like she'd rather be anywhere else. Gorgeous eyes, ones that catch his attention almost immediately as he's being shoved towards the back, shining with a radiance that captures him instantly. His eyes lock with hers, feeling something silent yet powerful surge through him from this tiny, insignificant interaction. He doesn't even have a moment to think further on it, before he's so rudely interrupted.

Get moving.

The curt voice of the bigger cop on his right cuts through the moment, anger welling up in Ajax's chest and something dark stirs in his core. If he wasn't cuffed and being restrained, he'd turn that guy's face into a new work of art, something so abstract some insane art collector would gladly pay millions for it.

No sooner had Ajax been ushered in, he disappears from sight as he's taken back into an interrogation room, the mysterious blonde no longer in his sights, now getting shoved into a corner of a room.]

What's with this? Don't you even have the courtesy of giving me a chair to sit in, at least?

[From outside of the room, muffled noises of a scuffle as the cops lay into Ajax can be heard, the loudest of which is a thud of a body slamming into a wall, accompanied by a groan from the ginger kid. Though little do any of them know, their real problems haven't arrived just yet, waking from their slumber right outside of the city...]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Every stroke of his hands against her chest makes water spill out onto the floor even after she's turned it off, splashing onto it, but Ajax hardly cares about that now. It's just as she said, they can clean it up later, it's not a big deal. He's not thinking about when they've got to get out of the tub and how these two drunks need to manage to not slip and fall on the floor once they're out, because he's far too occupied with soaking in this wonderful feeling of having her so close, right here in his arms. All his.]

Don't worry about it. You just keep that focus, and we'll be just fine.

[There's still a buzzing in his chest that he can't ignore- she said she'd noticed him the moment she laid eyes on him. That gets his mind going, intoxicated as it is, remembering that feeling of power that entered him when he'd locked eyes with her, too. Shortly after was the most horrifying event of his life, but he pushes those thoughts away with the more pressing matter of getting those cute little sighs and moans to slip out of her. Has he been this cuddly with any one night stands? The answer is no, definitely not, but Yoimiya's different...to him, this isn't a one night stand.

He reaches his hand down from her breast through the water to start to "scrub" her pussy, making absolutely certain he's rubbing all the right parts of it while he "helps her wash."]

Perhaps, this is simply fate that's brought us together now. If that's so, I can't say that I mind it too much. You're really cute...

[Words that are easy for him to just say now, though when he sobers up later he'll wonder how smart it was to go and just outright admit it.]

[ Truer words have never been spoken, so long as she's focused on him, so long as they are together, the presence that stirs in her heart tells her they will be perfectly fine. The key to happiness lies right here with him, at Ajax's side while they soak together in bubbly bliss. Maybe it was the stars above that brought them together, her intoxicated mind briefly wonders if landing her job in Fontaine was more than just an opportunity to make decent mora, it was also meant to lead Yoimiya to the chance of meeting of her lifetime.

Drunk and still riding the high of pleasure, Yoimiya doesn't think about the severity of their situation. Maybe when she's sober, the weight of everything they've done will finally come crashing down upon her. But for now, it's easy for her to just get lost in the splendor of Ajax and think about nothing else besides him. It's especially easy to throw logic out the window as his hands slide away from her breasts to "tend" to her aching pussy. He does such a good job "cleaning" her, expertly stroking those incredible fingers against her folds that reward him with a pretty symphony of her moans. ]

Mmm... is that why you can't seem to keep your hands off me? Oh... [ Words that were caught in the back of her throat ease out into luscious mewls. ] If it was fate that brought us together, I don't think I mind either. I feel more alive than I've ever been around you. You're really, really handsome.

[ You're really cute... Those three words replay in her mind and fill her heart to burst with joy. This isn't the first time someone has called her cute but somehow, hearing it from Ajax is a whole different game, it's so much more special ]

Since the day is still young, what do you say we hit the town and have a little bit of fun? Maybe grab a bite to eat and a few more drinks. [ This girl cannot stop drinking... ] We can show off how good we look together to the whole city of Fontaine, haha.

[ With how good-looking the two of them are, they are sure to turn a few heads and make a few onlookers jealous. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ Or embarrassed because how obviously drunk they still are LOL. ]

Edited 2024-05-25 15:14 (UTC)

[He doesn't even mind that she points it out, that he really can't keep his hands off of her. Why wouldn't he, though, want to touch and explore every crevice of her body? Everything about her was tantalizing, from how nice the curves of her body feels against his palms to how enticing and intoxicating her bubbly personality was, all of it luring him in along with that push inside of him that wanted to guide him right to her. Her words of praise easily find a spot in his heart, knowing now that they both found themselves attracted to one another, and honestly, why not...why wouldn't they? He said she was cute, but she's really drop dead gorgeous.

So yes, he absolutely wants to go out and have fun with her and get more drunk. This was way better than dealing with reality, and the world owes it to them to give them this one day of respite after everything.

With a few more gentle strokes against her groin, he smiles and nuzzles his head against her own in confirmation. Time to finish their bath so they can do whatever they'd like afterward- he's hoping that while they're out on the town getting more wasted, when they come back they'll be ready for another round of crazy sex, and he'll make sure to really make it worthwhile. But for now, they should focus on the reason they're in the tub in the first place.]

Sure, let's go. Being seen in public having fun together will also bolster our appearance of being good friends. Though I think we've stepped beyond that boundary at this point.

[With a satisfied moan, he starts to run his hands all over her body, to get Yoimiya nice and clean for their outing ;)]

[ Yoimiya hums in deep thought, closing her eyes to soak in those last few incredible strokes to her heat. He's not wrong, sleeping together goes past the boundary of being friends, potentially blossoming into something more. Sure, this could just be a one-night stand but she believes Ajax is worth more than that. There's something so incredibly special about him and despite that, they've only known each other for a few weeks under crazy circumstances, she can't deny that his words have a profound effect on her heart, she can't ignore the way her chest flutters at his head nuzzling against her.

... Yeah, there's no dismissing those feelings. Ajax has already earned a place in her heart and what lies ahead of them is both exciting and terrifying all at the same time. ]

Mmhmm. We've certainly gotten to know each other on a... "deeper" level, now. [ Casting a glance over her shoulder, a cute wink is sent his way. ] Since we're in this together, having a friends with benefits relationship will be favorable for both of us. It will be a great way for us to blow off some steam whenever we need it.

[ Friends with benefits... is what her inebriated mind rationalizes this situationship between them. He's terribly sexy, the two of them are single, they got through a harrowing ordeal together and survived with each other's help. If this is fate's way of rewarding them after everything they've been through. Why not take full advantage of it?

When he's finished, Yoimiya makes sure to return his generous favor, turning around to service him with her hands and help give him all spick and span for their exciting outing! She'll tend to every last inch of him to ensure Ajax is well taken care of. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ Taking a relaxing bath with him was a wonderful idea, she's already feeling a thousand times more refreshed by the end of it. Together, she's able to get out of the tub with a bit more ease (and also trying not to slip on the mess they made on the floor) It's obvious they are both still drunk and they're probably making bad decisions by going out to get more wasted but who cares. With Ajax, they're bound to have a good time, that's what truly matters. After getting changed with him and making herself look a bit more presentable, off they go! Drunkenly laughing together as they head out the door to terrorize the city of Fontaine.

Unbeknownst to them, the drunk, merry pair exited his apartment just in the nick of time. As soon as the door is closed, a dark, slimy tentacle oozing abyssal residue slithers its way out of the drain hole inside the tub they were just in. ]

---

[ They say time flies when you're having a good time and after today, that saying couldn't be any more than true. Before Yoimiya realizes it, the once crisp blue sky above them punctuates into darkness but even so, the nightlife of Fontaine is alive and bustling with excitement as the city lights illuminate the night sky. An incredible time was spent with Ajax and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was the most fun she's had ever since coming to the hydro nation. Thanks to him being a lovely guide, she got to have her first taste of Fontaine's finest alcohol, boulevardier, and kir royale left a strong impression on her tongue. Dinner was also nothing short of delicious, she'll never those crispy, golden Feast-O's, and the famous La Lettre a Focalors is hands down one of the best cakes in all of Teyvat. There's no doubt they earned some stares from strangers as they were acting wild at a nearby bar but Yoimiya wouldn't have it any other way. They were already past the point of tipsy when they got out and by the end of it, they're coming home even more intoxicated.

Face flushed red and stumbling all over the place, she would have fallen over if it wasn't for Ajax's arm supporting her. She's a giggly little thing, nuzzling her head into his biceps as they make the trip back to his apartment. ]

Ahhhh~! What an incredible night out. The food and drinks were soooo good, hehe. But of course, the company was even better.

[ Leaning her head on his arm, Yoimiya shifts her gaze to meet his stare with a seductive grin. Although their outing has come to an end, there's still plenty of fun waiting for them in his apartment. Now that she's feeling energized, her body is ready for another round of crazy sex. ]

[Ajax made sure to take her everywhere that their feet and wobbly legs would allow that night.

He's surprised they didn't get arrested for being drunk in public, for as loud and boisterous as they were the whole night. He honestly can't remember making out with one single girl as much as he has tonight, drinking to their heart's content and happy to let Yoimiya really get a good taste of Fontaine. Had this been a normal date, he would have been blown away by how incredibly fun he had with her- but at this point, given what's happened, he already knew he would. He knew that when the two of them hit the town, they'd make it their own and cause chaos in certain parts and be able to relax and soak in the setting in others.

Thankfully, they did have enough of their wits about them to cover their marks, but he was so out of it all night that he wouldn't of been able to recall if they got exposed to the public anyway. It was glowing when they left- and his is glowing now as they arrive and he unlocks the door to his apartment.]

I'm glad you had a good time, [he says, pushing the door open to a dark apartment, unaware of what they'd discover as soon as the lights get turned on.]

Let's enjoy that company for a little while longer, why don't we.

[Leading her right inside the door, he closes it behind him before turning to press her to the wall here in the hallway before it opens up into his living room, wasting no time pressing his lips to hers here in the dark. That seductive look she gave him, having her all over him all night has caused him to become steadily uncontrollable with lust. All of the hunger he'd been holding back comes out now as he partakes of her lips and mouth, greedily trying to swallow her whole, hands running up and down her body.]

You'll make for a delicious dessert, [he says, breath husky as he breaks, pressing his hardened arousal against her.] The cherry on top to the perfect evening.

[ Ajax is a man who waits for no one, not even two steps into his apartment, he already has her pinned against the nearby wall, kissing her with such a fierce heat that brings her insatiable need for him back to the forefront. Did he lock the door? Even if he forgot, it doesn't matter. If some passerby happens to see them getting down and dirty, she hopes they see how much and how well they enjoy their bodies to the fullest.

Yoimiya wastes no time kissing him back like a mindless animal in heat, every sloppy pass of her lips packs an extra bit of heat as she parts her mouth open so he can drive his tongue into her throat. She brings her arms around his shoulders, pulling him close so they can taste every crevice of each other's mouths, the taste of alcohol is still very prominent on his tongue but oh he tastes like absolute heaven in this sinful room.

She's left a panting mess once he breaks, moaning as he presses his hardened arousal against her. Gods, it's already driving her insane, his clothed erection is not enough, she wants to feel every last inch of that cock she's already become addicted to. ]

If you don't mind, I'd also like to have my second dessert. I've been craving you this whole time and I just know you're going to taste way better than that cake.

[ Likewise, Yoimiya is a woman who waits for no one. After giving him a short but passionate kiss, she's quick to drop to her knees and find the zipper to his pants. ]

It's only fair if I return your gracious favor from earlier...

[ She's been dying to wrap her lips around that incredible cock of his from the moment she first laid eyes on it. He did such a good job eating her out, it's only fair he gets an incredible reward for his efforts. Through the heated breaths and their moans, the sounds of his pants getting unzipped echo through her ears. So close, she's so close to finally relishing in the taste of that wonderful dick but there is just one problem, it's dark inside his apartment and she's drunk. Yoimiya is doing her best to locate the button to his pants as her hands glide all across his groin. All she needs to do is unleash that button and he's all hers but finding the darn thing is proving to be a challenge! ]

Mm... it is a bit hard to see. Do you mind turning on the lights, Ajax?

[Being locked in so close with her unleashes a craving within him that's been dying to come to the surface, a primal hunger that surges through him like lightning and makes his entire body shudder with passion. Giving her lip a little tug as she breaks from him, he can't help but run both his hands through her hair as she drops down, grabbing and massaging it as the ghost of her mouth on his cock teases his imagination. Even her hands running across his groin in search of the button to his pants is excruciating, anxiously waiting for her deft fingers to finally find it and free him to a world of pleasure that only she can provide him.]

You're such a good girl, Yoimiya. Here, it's right here.

[While one hand gropes in the dark for the light switch, the other hand reaches down to grab hers to guide it upwards right to his button. He's far too intoxicated to be able to find it with precision itself, but finally he can feel how his palm graces it and puts her hand right on it so she can give herself free access to the throbbing girth waiting for her hot, succulent mouth to wrap itself around him and force him to groan uncontrollably from her ministrations.

At the same time however, he flips the switch on to let light flood the room, not only giving Yoimiya the sight to see the button, but to let them both see what else has happened in the living room as well.

Whenever they finally look over to notice, black abyssal sludge coats the entire room. The nice sea-themed living room has been ripped to shreds, with the couch destroyed into splinters, thrown about the room in some haphazard way- the coffee table where their drinks were left out is shattered along with glass shards spewed across the floor. The walls, once a nice light blue is razed from something that's scorched it along with more abyssal sludge marks in some areas, and it doesn't stop there. Every part of the apartment has been destroyed, and the mark of an abyssal monster can be found on almost every surface.

But a drunk Ajax isn't looking at that right now. He's looking at the golden blonde on her knees about to suck him off, focused only on that moth of hers and what it can do to him.]

Hahahahaha, better? Now I can get a good look at you while you suck me off. Good girl, Yoimiya, good girl...

[ Her heart thunders in her chest at the thrums of his sultry voice, every time he calls her a good girl her senses are filled to the brim with a sharp tingling feeling. She's wholly captivated by this moment, his hands feverishly running through her blonde locks as he keeps referring to her as a good girl... that phrase unlocks something inside of her, a desire that Yoimiya herself has been completely unaware of until now. Right now, all she wants is to endlessly please him so she can make Ajax proud and be his good girl.

That's right, be his good girl and fulfill his wishes. Your body was made to serve him, to please him, to tend to all of his needs. Let him fill you up so you can become his g̴̖̗̞̎̀͛̿̚ö̴̻̹̻̬̯ŏ̴̲͆d̴͕̥̾̽͒͝ ̴̲͕͉̗͐̇͘͝ͅg̷̛̞͈̑͆̃̕i̸͚̘͍͒r̸͇̳̖͙̈́́̇̀̚ḷ̶̛̆̀̇

Once again, the strange presence that lurks in her heart is speaking to her again, not that Yoimiya needs any sort of encouragement. She wants this, she needs this, sucking him off is the greatest honor and privilege.

Thanks to her lovely date's dexterous hands, not only are the lights turned on, he oh-so kindly leads her hands to that pesky button just out of her grasp. Her gaze flickers to meet with his once more, she rewards him with an appreciative smirk curving at the corners of her red lips as she finally releases the button holding his pants up. From her vantage point down on the ground, she can see his living room in a state of horrifying disarray but her drunk, intoxicated mind isn't catching up. The couch has been torn apart and there are specks of glass shards littering the floor near the coffee table. There's clearly a huge mess over there but all Yoimiya can think about is taking that amazing cock inside of her mouth. It'll be a challenge to take on such a big and thick thing but Naganohara Yoimiya has always thrived off a good challenge. ]

Much better! Since you've been nothing but kind, I'll be sure to suck you off real good.

[ No longer wanting to deprive her king of a good time, she's quick to pull both his pants and boxers down to his ankles, revealing her throbbing prize that's been eager for her attention. Goodness, he looks even bigger up close, the musky heat searing off him beckons her to lick her pink lips wet, promises of what's to come when those pretty pink lips are wrapped around his shaft. But first, she wants to give him an extra special show while sucking him off, it's what he deserves for showing her a good time around Fontaine. Yoimiya swiftly removes her shirt and unclips her bra so he can also get a nice view of her tits while she's pleasuring him. As she's tossing her garments to the side, the sounds of a sloppy drip drop catch her attention, urging her to look around for the source of the noise. It's puzzling, they aren't anywhere near the bathroom so where is that sound coming from? Confused, Yoimiya happens to look down on the floor and finally sees it, a trail of black abyssal sludge nearby her clothes. ]

A—Ajax...

[ There's a notable tremble in her voice upon coming across that discovery. Slowly, she glances back over to the mess that was his living room. It's then, the terrifying scene finally clicks in her head. ]

Oh my god, your living room...!

[It feels like a slice of heaven when she finally unbuttons his pants, and he can practically feel how he's bulging out of his underwear as he waits for her to continue on with her journey to let his cock sink right down into the depths of her throat. Completely entranced by her, Ajax only stares down in anticipation as she yanks his clothing down to the floor, letting his entire lower half be exposed and ready for more love-making. Dark whispers flit through his thoughts, telling him what his desires are, what he needs to do next with his willing date. He finds himself repeating the thoughts that float through his head to himself, inwardly nodding in agreement with them.

~~She's lovely, make sure to fill her full tonight. Plant your seed deep within her so that your legacy will be ensured, that your rule will go unquestioned~~~

Yes, Yoimiya is perfect, and I want her to be with me, I want to have a family with her...

[The next words he mutters are so quiet that they can barely be made out, eyes heavily lidded as if he were in a trance of sorts, watching her take her own clothing off in awe. How could such a perfect specimen fall into his lap like this, she's so gorgeous and immaculate in all ways, and she's all his. All. His.]

I can't wait to plant my seed deep inside of you Yoimiya, and when I do, we'll conquer this world... Huh???!!!

[The urgency of her voice once she realizes that the room has been torn apart bring him out of his stupor, snapping him back to reality as he turns his head to see what she's yelling about. His eyes go wide with shock and horror at the scene, forgetting completely about everything else while his eyes try to focus through his intoxication. It's a horrifying sight, instantly bringing back the memory of watching that officer get body snatched by that abyssal sludge monster. His entire living room is practically gone, and he was too drunk to notice...and what if it's here still?

Panic floods his mind now, shaking off the dark whispers and forcing him to come to grips with reality here. Something came for them and they just happened to miss it by a mere few hours or so.]

Yoimiya-

[He steps to move, but his pants and underwear are wrapped around his legs, catching and tripping him up so he falls backwards right onto his ass. The pain sends a shock through his system, sobering him a little more as he struggles to pull his pants back up through his blurry vision.]

Owwwww...

Edited (DON'T LOOK AT ME AGAIN) 2024-05-31 18:02 (UTC)

[ The horrifying reality of what transpired while they were out having fun finally sinks in. Another one of those abyssal abominations snuck into Ajax's apartment and completely trashed the place. If she had to guess... whatever was in here was probably looking for them, whether it was the same monster wanting to finish the job or a different one seeking them out, Yoimiya doesn't wish to know. It's terrifying to think that if they were in here a second longer, they could have been ripped apart like his couch. That thought alone is enough to pull her out of her drunk reverie and sober her up.

All of her fear, panic, and terror from that traumatizing evening comes back full force. But the scariest thought of them all... is the possibility that the monster could still be lurking around and was simply biding its time until they got back.

Before she goes into a full-blown panic attack, there's a thud, and Ajax's voice laced with pain. She turns her head to see him, he's fallen ass first on the floor with his dick out and everything. ]

Ajax!

[ Oh dear, that was quite the fall. Poor guy not only fell on his butt, he landed on his naked butt. Oof...that's gotta hurt. Worry encapsulates her features as she quickly scoots closer and leans over to check on him. ]

Are you okay...?

Edited (ig i have no room to say anything LOL) 2024-05-31 20:12 (UTC)

[Now his ass hurts on top of it...one would think that the alcohol would numb that pain, but for some reason the visceral view of his living room makes it hurt all the worse. Ajax's frown is deep as he fails utterly at trying to pull his pants up as he sits on the floor, realizing he has to stand up if he wants to get them all the way up so he doesn't trip on himself again. The whole situation along with the fall is making his stomach turn in knots, something he doesn't need right now as he looks on into his home with abject horror at the scene.

It could have gotten them if they were still here. What if it had gotten them in the tub? They're both drunk, he can't use his powers, hers are weak at best...

The more he worries about it, the more it makes him want to retch, swallowing down those thoughts as he struggles with his pants. The worst part about it is that he's still hard as a rock. >:|]

Ngh, okay probably isn't the word I'd use right about now...

[Rolling onto his hip, he tries to push himself upwards, but he just gets tangled in his pants from the lack of motor control from being so drunk. Ajax just ends up on the ground again, flustered at his inability to fix himself.]

Can you give me a hand?

[ Yeaaaaah, he's definitely not okay. Not only does his living room look like something straight out of a horror flick, his ass must be stinging from that awful fall. Her mind is still having trouble processing everything but first things first, they need to be on guard if that thing is still crawling inside his apartment, and to do so, they gotta stand on their toes. Which looks like a tough job for poor Ajax right about now.

The proper thing to do would be to help pull his pants up but they are so badly tangled around his legs the task looks nigh impossible. The only option that makes sense in her drunken mind is to yoink his undergarments off... and that's exactly what she does. Yoimiya reaches over to his pants wrapped around his legs, tugging both it and his boxers off in one swift motion. Now he's drunk and on the floor with no bottoms on... but hey, at least he's no longer trapped in his pants, right???

Standing back up on her two feet is proving to be a more difficult task than she thought. It takes some effort and some stumbling but running of pure adrenaline and terror spurs her into getting up. When she does, Ajax's apartment looks like it's whirling all around her. ]

Oh dear... [ She places her hand against her forehead, needing a moment for the dizziness to subside. ] Sorry, the world felt like it was spinning for a sec.

[ She shakes off the dizzy spell, extending her hand toward him, all the while trying her best not to gawk at his raging boner. It's pretty impressive he's still hard as a rock... ]

Take my hand, I'll pull you up.

Edited 2024-05-31 23:27 (UTC)

[In the moment, he doesn't care how he gets back up on his feet, as long as he does. His shoes somehow managed to come off his feet (when? where? who knows) so when those pants and underwear come flying off, it's easy and now he's free and half naked, boner flying in the wind despite the chaos in front of them both. He waits patiently for her to help him up, till she gets her bearing and offers her hand which he takes, already feeling a little bit more balanced now that he's not tangled up in his own clothing. Thankfully, once she pulls him upwards, he's able to stand on his own two feet with only a little bit of wobbling, so he can survey the real damage.

It's really awful, and looking at it now makes his heart beat hard in his chest with anxiety, wondering if whatever caused this is still here and if they need to be ready to deal with it. He doesn't hear or see anything, but then, the room is still spinning just as much as it is for Yoimiya.]

You didn't see anything in here, did you? We shouldn't stay here, [he says quickly,] we barely survived last time. We may not be so lucky this time.

[He can at least logic that much out. Cleaning the place up isn't even something he's considering, bending over now to pick up his underwear that have been thrown to the floor, managing to keep himself on his feet at least this time. His movements are hurried, like the longer they linger, the more likely this may end badly for them. Ajax leans against the wall to steady himself as he puts his underwear back on, naturally finding a bit of difficulty with it, trying to keep his hands from shaking as he puts them back on.]

Can we go to your place? This is bad...

[ At his first question, all Yoimiya's trembling body can muster is a slow shake of her head and a nervous gulp, it feels like her heart has leapt into her throat, it takes every ounce of willpower to swallow down her internal panic. While she was down on the ground, she was fairly certain there wasn't a monster within sight but considering how the last one was able to contort its limbs and snatch the body of that unfortunate police officer, it's not at all reassuring. For all they know, the accursed creature could be hiding anywhere in his apartment, ready to strike at any moment, just thinking about it sends a chill down her spine and turns her blood cold.

Now that Ajax is back on his two feet, Yoimiya stumbles over to grab her bra and shirt. She can feel her heart pounding inside of her chest with fear as her clammy, shaking hands barely manage to hook her bra back on. Amid her fear and anxiety, she accidentally put her shirt on backward but frankly, she doesn't care. They need to get the heck out of here pronto, they can't afford to stay here a second longer. ]

You read my mind. I was going to ask if you'd like to stay at my place for a little while.

[ A terrifying monster just ransacked his apartment and is potentially still lurking around the place, he absolutely cannot stay here tonight. Yoimiya isn't about to abandon Ajax during this crisis, he saved her life and she's positive that if the positions were reversed, he'd offer his home to her. ]

Grab whatever you need quickly so we can hightail it out of here.

[ While he's... doing his best to put his underwear back on, Yoimiya spots his shoes that have somehow made their way near the door. Adrenaline spurred by fear surges through her body, pushing her to grab his shoes without falling over from all the alcohol in their system. She's quick to bring him his shoes, just wanting to get hell out of dodge as soon as possible. ]

[Normally when someone is drunk off their ass, they might get sick and throw up, but he's thanking the alcohol now to why he isn't getting sick to his stomach at the horrific sight of his living room. The slick of the abyss across his walls and floor is probably enough to make anyone want to curl up in a ball and hurl until there's nothing left, but for now all he can feel is the intense urgency to flee and the adrenaline rush from his primal instinct to survive fueling him as he now finds his pants and as Yoimiya gives him his shoes. Glad that Yoimiya seems to have the same thought as him, he's not even willing to step further inside of his own place. All he needs is the clothes on his back, his keys, and his wallet. Anything else doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is that they get out of there right now.]

I don't need a thing. Let's go.

[He gets them on in a hurry, his blurry vision barely being able to keep up as he checks to make sure Yoimiya is okay to follow before he turns and rushes through the door, making sure to lock it behind them. His landlord is going to have a fit about the state of his apartment, but for now, this needs to be kept a secret.

He doesn't know if alerting the police is a good idea. There's too many factors, and it's not like they can help anyway.]

Is it far? We could call a taxi.

[Ain't no way he's driving in this state. He can barely walk straight.]

[ Happy to see that they are on the same page, Yoimiya is hot on his heels as they bolt out the door, sprinting full force right behind him as her life depends on it. She's relieved to be out of there but they still aren't out of the woods yet, not until they've gotten far, far away from the place that used to be Ajax's safe space. ]

Let's call a taxi, my place is on the other side of town.

[ For all of their shared misfortune, lady luck seems to have given them a little bit of grace in the form of a taxi cab being close by. In a funny turn of events, it's the same driver that took them to hospital on that fateful night. Yoimiya greets the familiar face with a friendly smile, thanking him for his timely assistance, and gives him directions to her apartment. Fortunately, the taxi driver doesn't pay much mind to their disheveled appearance, chalking it off to them being a young couple in love looking for a private place to get frisky with one another. Yoimiya pays for the the trip (a small token of appreciation for Ajax paying for her coffee last week) and off they go!

Thankfully, they make it without any incident. After saying her goodbyes to the driver, Yoimiya leads him to the elevators that take them to the top floor where she lives. The apartment complex isn't as nice as Ajax's but it's still cozy and provides a splendid view of the Fotaine's gorgeous ocean. Taking a deep breath, her hands are shaking as she unlocks the door, halfway expecting to open to the sight of her apartment trashed and coated with abyssal sludge all across the walls. Slowly, she creeks open the door to reveal her home decorated in quintessential cutesy furniture, no slime, nothing ripped apart, just her humble living space. Goodness, she's never felt more relieved in her life, Yoimiya mentally counts all of her blessings as she takes him inside. Her place is clean but not as immaculate as Ajax's, there are pillows and stuffed toys fallen on the floor and boxes she's still yet to unpack. The Naganoharas isn't a family swimming in money, so the small apartment was carefully chosen with her budget in mind while still providing her with a comfy place to call home. But even though she lacks a bit of luxury, being on the top floor with large windows gives her the perks of waking up to the scene of the beautiful blue ocean every morning.

And of course, sitting in the living room is a good sized aquarium with the famous Hanabi happily swimming around in it, living her best fish life. The tank is filled to the brim with cute decorations, a castle, a plethora of rocks and plants, this is one spoiled fish. ]

Make yourself at home. You're free to stay here as long as you'd like.

[He'd been unconscious when the taxi driver had taken him to the hospital, so he laughs and thanks them for their help in all of that, trying to keep the conversation light as they make their way over to Yoimiya's place. He feels like he's starting to sober up a little bit now that they'd stopped drinking and it's been some time since then, but the world is still unfocused and blurry when he turns. Waving goodbye to them, they finally get to somewhere that gives him a false sense of security- Yoimiya's apartment. It's exactly what he'd expect from someone like her. His eyes drunkenly sweep over her place, spotting the goldfish she's so crazy about. Hanabi...he finally gets to meet her.]

Thanks. I'm just going to sit for a while, I think.

[He makes his way over to her love seat and plops right down on it, letting his legs sprawl out in front of him as he slouches. Today's been a lot, wild and fun to start and horrific and stressing him out now. It's a whiplash he hadn't expected, and he's just ready to rest. But how can he rest when he knows something is out there hunting him, or both of them?]

Yoimiya, I don't know how I'm going to be able to sleep tonight.

[Anxiety wracks him, and when he closes his eyes it feels like he could get attacked at any moment, as if the simple motion could spell doom. Ajax runs his hand through his hair, holding his bangs back as he stares at the ceiling. What a mess this is, and how will they navigate it? They need a plan, but first they need to get sober.]

[ To say that the events of today have left her completely and utterly drained would be the understatement of the century. From a nerve-racking interview with the police to wild sex at his place to a fun night out of drinking, and finally, discovering that horrific scene back at his apartment, Yoimiya feels like she's aged a few years within the span of one day. Finally, she feels a little more sober after realizing they just barely slipped out of a dance with death. As Ajax makes himself comfortable on her loveseat, she steps into the kitchen and comes back with two cups of ice-cold water. ]

I'm right there with you. Sleeping feels like an impossible task after what we witnessed.

[ It will be hard to scrub the image of his apartment coated in that terrible slime out of her head. And if she's disturbed, she can't begin to imagine the turmoil poor Ajax must be going through since it happened in his home. Sighing, she joins him on the sofa, setting the cup of water down on a goldfish coaster, pushing it in his direction. ]

But at the very least, staying here is better than returning to your apartment. You're more than welcome to crash here for as many nights as you want.

[ Her eyes shift towards the cup in her hands as if the crystal clear water has the power to cleanse her unsettled thoughts... if only life were that simple. Given the monster's aggressive behavior, it might not be much in the way of consolation but nevertheless, she wants him to know she is here to help. ]

Edited (added something!) 2024-06-05 21:41 (UTC)

[Ajax doesn't lean forward to take the water glass right away, choosing instead for the moment to find some sort of respite here on the couch. His body feels heavy, unwilling now to move as it tries to deal with the weight of their situation, but having her next to him seems to do a little bit in soothing his nerves. He doesn't think too much on that fact, welcoming it instead.]

I'll take you up on that offer. But eventually, we won't be able to stay here, either. At least I won't.

[Trying to think through his intoxication, he knows that they were after him to begin with- he can't put Yoimiya at risk because of him. It found them so quickly after the incident at the police station, who's to say it won't come here eventually, too.

It's now that he sits up and takes the glass of water, knowing the more water he can get in his system now, the better his hangover will be tomorrow. The coaster is cute, a strange sort of thing to look at now when they'd just left the wreck of his destroyed apartment.]

Tomorrow, let's try to go over things...maybe we can figure out how it found us.

[And all the other things they were going to talk about before they got horny and fucked, gd them]

[ There's a fleeting moment of happiness when Ajax accepts her proposal, just for her heart to sink at the grim reality of his situation. The monster from that fateful night seemed like it was there specifically for him and after seeing his apartment in shambles... that theory sounds, unfortunately, true. It makes her sick with worry knowing he's never going to feel safe, that he'll always have to be on guard if he wants to stay alive. As horrible as the Nizhnii Corporation is, Ajax doesn't deserve this, he should be living his life to the fullest, not fighting for his life on a daily basis.

Bringing the glass to her lips, she drinks half of the cup to try and take in all the water she can, all the while wishing the cold liquid could wash away their worries. As troubled as she is, Ajax is right. Now's not the time to dwell on this, not when they're intoxicated and beat. They need to be completely sober if they want to have a productive discussion. ]

Let's do it. Having a discussion when our heads are a bit clearer sounds like the best course of action. For now, we should focus on getting some semblance of rest.

[ There is no way either one of them will be able to sleep, not after what they saw. But lying down and closing their eyes is better than not trying at all. ]

If you want to join me, my bed is big enough for two. A cozy bed and a warm body to sleep with will be more comfortable than my couch.

[ Maybe it's too early to share her bed with someone she just met but they already fucked so in her mind, all bets are off. What's more important to her is providing Ajax with even the slightest bit of comfort. ]

[She's right. Resting now is the only thing they can do, and even as much as he'd rather stay up and try to figure things out, he's still too drunk. What a night, he thinks, as he just decides to slam the rest of his water down. Ajax looks over to her at the offer to sleep in her bed, and his feelings are pretty much the same- he already had sex with her, what's sharing the same bed? If his apartment weren't ripped apart, that's what would've happened anyway, they would've headed to his bedroom and had a lot more sex and passed out after.

He would absolutely take the comfort of Yoimiya close to him to deal with this right now. So he nods slowly, a silent agreement to spend the night with her.]

I think I'd like that.

[So he stands up, sighing and trying to put the event of the last half an hour out of his mind.]

Lead the way. Sitting out here isn't going to get either of us to sleep.

[ Happy to hear that he's taken her up on her offer, she follows suit, downing the rest of the water before sitting it on the table. Just two empty cups will be a simple task to clean up in the morning, she'll worry about it later. Now that she's somewhat more refreshed, Yoimiya stands up while stretching her arms. ]

Follow me! I'm gonna take a quick detour to feed Hanabi but it won't be long.

[ Yoimiya could be plastered to high heavens but the queen of the apartment will always take precedence! She quickly strides over to Hanabi's tank, sprinkling the water's edge with her favorite fish flakes and of course, the happy goldfish wastes no time swimming up to gobble it all down. So cute... even in this desperate situation, she's able to find solace in her darling Hanabi. Smiling softly, she tells her sweet pet goodnight and finally, leads Ajax to her sleeping chambers. Her bedroom is small but decorated vibrantly to match the blonde's vivacious personality. The best part is easily the spacious window that gives her a breathtaking view of the sea every morning. ]

Welcome! It's not much but I like to think it's pretty cozy.

[ Since he's already seen her naked, she has no problem stripping out of her clothes and undergarments right in front of him so she can change into a long sleep shirt. ]

[It's the one thing out of the last half an hour or so that gets him to smirk and snort with amusement. Watching her go over to take care of the one and only Hanabi was the show he didn't know he needed to see, how she makes sure there's plenty of flakes and how she admires the fish as it eats, bidding it goodnight. He does his best to hide that amusement when she turns around and leads him into the bedroom, doing much of the same as his eyes sweep over her bedroom.

Yoimiya definitely likes cutesy things, he can tell that much. It fits her bubbly personality for sure.]

It suits you. Are you sure you're alright with having me come in and decrease the cute value of it?

[He likes cute things too, but he's not afraid to admit to himself that he doesn't fit a cute aesthetic, even if he is joking.

And of course, he can't keep his eyes off of her while she undresses, but since she's okay with it, he's going to go ahead and join her. He's only going down to his boxers, and that feeling of how easy and right this all his creeps back into his system.]

Which side do I get?

[ Likewise, Yoimiya can't help her eyes wandering over to watch him undress. After everything they've been through, the sight of his incredible physique has been the best thing she's seen in the last half an hour, he's the perfect medicine to lift her spirits after witnessing that traumatizing scene at his apartment. It's going to be difficult to sleep but maybe with Ajax's incredible arms around her, she can at least feel a sense of relief that neither one of them are alone. ]

Hehe, I think you're selling yourself a little short, you're plenty cute. Those soft ginger curls, and stunning blue eyes... you're the perfect addition to this bedroom.

[ Giggling, she shoots him a quick wink as she sits down at the end of the bed to take out her accessories to let her golden blonde hair fall past her shoulders. ]

Whichever side you want. Don't worry, I'm not picky. I tend to be a bit of a roller when I sleep, so I hope that doesn't bother you.

[The way she describes him evokes a goofy, toothy grin out of Ajax. That's the way he'd say someone who's completely love drunk would describe someone else...and yet, he's the one here who feels like a cute little puppy who's fallen in love. He's sure if he had a tail to wag right about now, it would be swishing left and right uncontrollably at her words. He wants to follow her, and nuzzle his head right into her lap, those feelings reflected in the soft glow of his mark that's just begun to light up.

Plus, how she looks with her hair down? A sight worth living for.

Ajax's eyes take on a sheen across his irises when he gazes at her golden locks adorning her face, framing it perfectly. The magnetic pull that had been beckoning him over before wins out once her hair is down, joining her at the end of the bed, his dumb smile still plastered on his face.]

Not at all. Maybe I'll get you to lie still tonight for a change.

[Ajax's hand moves to rest on her thigh, feeling himself pulled further towards her even more now. When he wakes up the next day, he'll realize how unnatural it is for him to feel this way given the terror they'd just experienced not long ago, but right now it overpowers his logic, focusing only on the bright, golden eyes that lock him in place and make his heart beat in a way that sets his whole body on fire for her.]
