i wish that i could run // back into your arms

[Ajax shoots a balled up, crumpled piece of paper into the basket next to him as he waits for the appointed time.

It's a bit below his station to do so, but on occasion, the CEO of Nizhnii Corp likes to surprise people and pop into interviews or other people's offices. He gets restless in his own office, not always enjoying having to deal with the board of directors or investors. There were many that say he doesn't really fit his position, that his demeanor wasn't good for being the CEO of a company. Diplomacy was never his strong suit, but despite that the company still managed to flourish. Happy employees always made for better work- and though Ajax himself was a ruthless businessman, he still treated all his subordinates like they were family.

And that's how Nizhnii ended up with such a good reputation, and how he finds it so easy to find good applicants.

Today was no exception, and Ajax plans on making a surprise appearance for this part-timer who's hoping to land a job here. Adjusting his cufflinks on his suit as he walks down the hallway, he makes his way towards the conference room where they generally conduct interviews- and he tells HR that he'd like a little time with the potential hire first. She's already gone through their first interview, and passed it with flying colors, so now he's interested to see who exactly it is who's gotten the interest of their hiring managers. He's timed it so she should be waiting in the conference room already, provided she wasn't late- but he's sure that he wouldn't have to worry about that.

The first thing he does is pop his head in, smiling warmly at the girl waiting patiently for someone to come in to start the interview, before coming in and walking up to her.]


Good morning! Sorry to keep you waiting. I had a small matter to attend to before I was able to come down. I'm Ajax Volkov, it's a pleasure.

[He offers a hand for her to shake, before he'll politely take a seat across from her at the table.]

HR will be with us shortly, but I thought I'd take some time to get to know you a little better before we start asking the stuffy, boring questions of the interview. I hope that's alright.

Alright, it sounds right.

( She nods her head in understanding, feeling like she's been given this advice before. Picking up the shot glass to clink with his, for some reason it was like they've done this before. Having the same sense of deja vu, but it leaves her mind the moment they clink glasses and she takes the shot with him. )

Cheers!

( That familiar burn of strong alcohol going down her throat and chest, she brings a hand to her chest. It was really strong liquor, that's for sure. But it was like her body was already familiar with it. She doesn't chase it either, but she lets a breath out to soothe the burn of alcohol. )

Wow, that was something else. I don't think I'd be able to have another.

( She grins at herself, to hold herself from chasing it like she was well prepared for the drink. Coughing into her fist for a moment, she can feel her face warm. Yeah, she won't be able to drink another shot, or she'd pass out at two with her smaller frame. )

( Lumine could hardly understand why it didn't affect her like she thought it would, especially with the burn she felt go down her chest. But her body gives a bit of a shake as she took a deep breath, to get some of the cool air into her lungs. It was a burn that lingers with unknown fond memories.

But she has to give a proud smirk at him, to show she can handle absolutely anything like a seasoned warrior. )


That'll have to teach you to not underestimate me from now on, then. I'm pretty sure I never have. I've never had anything that strong before.

( She brings her bananarama to her lips and taking a drink, though the burn of alcohol was there the sweetness helped. At least it tricked her body into thinking it was helping the after effects of the Fire-Water. )

Maybe another time. I don't know how I handled it myself, but I'm pretty sure one more will put me out of commission. I'd have to call my brother to pick me up early.

( She laughs at the prospect of calling Aether after he just left from the wedding. But she was alright, the Fire-Water helped her nerves relax. )

( She nearly forgot about the invite to dance, her eye looking out at the dance hall. The last scheduled dance happening and soon the dance floor will be a free for all. )

I'm sure anyone here would be able to keep up with you.

( She drinks her own drink, perhaps best to finish it before going to dance. To help her nerves or the fluttering of her heart. Almost like this isn't their first time hanging out together, despite it being so. It was the same when she got upset with him in the interview process, like she shouldn't be angry around him. )

You know how to tango? ( Color her impressed. She didn't think he'd be an absolute expert. ) Maybe another time then. Simple and twirl would probably be best.

( She doesn't know why she feels like learning the Snezhnaya dance would be great to further impress his mother. She doesn't know the woman, but felt it important to impress her. Perhaps she should drink another shot of Fire-Water to stop these thoughts. Or to put her out of commission to be sent home. But she does want to spend time with him... )

( Lumine turns to where he points out to be a good spot for practice. Ah, she doesn't know why she is getting a bit of the butterflies. Giving a nod in return, while she would hesitate a bit, liquid courage has her reaching out to take his hand in her free one. The other fixing her dress and grabbing her drink like he instructed. )

Okay, I hope your feet are ready to get trampled on.

( She can't help but feel comfortable though, the smile of his bringing forth her own in return. A happiness she wasn't sure where it came from filled her. Besides, it was just one night, why not let go and have fun with someone who wants to make it fun for her. )

Though, I'll admit, even if I'm a little nervous, I'm quite excited to learn.

( Lumine was almost finished with her drink, not as quick of a drinker as Ajax was. Afterall, she was still feeling the effects of the Fire-Water down her system. Putting her cup on the table, feeling surprisingly reassured that he wasn't going to have her do anything embarrassing and was taking this quite seriously. Afterall, she really did hope to dance, whether with him or they somehow switch partners mid-dance. )

Alright, I am taking your word for it and trusting you.

( Bold words, but it wasn't any less true. She had a weird feeling like she can just trust herself with him. Which, had she been in her right mind, blaming the alcohol, she would have hurried off back to the rest of the guests.

His larger hands encompassing her own with strength and security, fingers twined together with his sent bashful butterflies to flutter. Nostalgia hitting her quite hard, but she is sure she's never danced with anyone. Sure, she's silly danced with Aether and former boyfriends, but nothing felt like this.

At his lead, she looks down at their feet, following the pattern he was setting. Though what shocked her even more, was how her feet seemed to follow a familiar pattern. Even looking back up at him and moving as though it was purely natural. She doesn't even step on his feet, but is able to keep up with him like they've done this before.

Liquid courage bringing her to smile up at him, eyes closed to smile along with her lips. )


I guess it wasn't as hard as I thought...

[personal profile] viatriix 2024-10-04 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
( Lumine isn't understanding, he's the first person she's met from Snezhnaya, there was no way she'd know anything about this dance. There was no way she should have been able to take that shot of Fire-Water without almost hacking up a lung in a coughing fit. Her body seems to remember things that she shouldn't know, but as he asks if she's ever done this before she tries so hard to think back.

But she doesn't see anything, but blurry instances that she should recognize appear that she just thought were mysterious daydreams. She can't help the light, nervous giggle, if her hand was free she'd scratch her cheek. )


I feel like I'm going crazy, because I never met anyone else from Snezhnaya to have learned this dance.

( Letting him twirl her, as soon as he pulled her body into his at the small of her back, her heart pounded even harder. Hand on his shoulder, unable to tear her eyes away from him. Eyes that for some reason brings her own flashes of memories, but the prominent one was it didn't have the current glow they hold.

The weight of her name different from the many times he's called to her. This time bringing a soft pink to her cheeks and ears. )


Yes...?

( But his apology brings her back from whatever the alcohol was doing to her. She just shakes her head, at his apology or a rouse to clear her head of such crazy thoughts. )

It's okay...

[personal profile] viatriix 2024-10-04 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
( Lumine blinks up at him, she can't even tell if they were still dancing or stood still. Completely focused on Ajax and trying to figure out what is going on between them. Her breathing slowing to match the rise of his own chest, her heart pounding so loud and fast in her chest. Surprised to know he was feeling the same level of deja vu as she was having. )

I'd be labeled a liar if I said I didn't feel the same way... I just thought it was the alcohol making me think like this... That this was one of those moments of deja-vu...

( The intensity in his eye contact, as though searching for some answer that she doesn't have. This was getting dangerous, the romantic atmosphere of the wedding, the alcohol, the closeness of being chest to chest, the eye contact, and talk. )

...Perhaps we could just be falling victims to the atmosphere...

( Squeezing his hand, she just could not look away from him. Even if her words indicated they shouldn't think too much on it, she was feeling the atmosphere change. Feeling like right here in his arms is where she should be. )
viatriix: (pic#17440270)

[personal profile] viatriix 2024-10-05 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, I suppose not...

( Lumine was not expecting his next question at all, her heart pounding loud in her chest. She doesn't know why her heart felt like it was going to burst in joy. She should say no, they barely know each other, but for some reason it's almost like it was something she's wanted to do for so long.

Ajax was handsome, considerate, family-oriented... She could see that. She can see why anyone would fall for someone like him. Despite him getting on her nerves the first time they met. Ears burning bright red, unbeknownst to her, her body subconsciously leaning against his comfortably. )


I... Would I...? ( She looks to his lips and it did feel right, like it isn't the first time they've ever kissed. So, she'd lean up to press just a small, quick kiss. Perhaps out of nerves or she stopped out of surprise at herself. )
viatriix: (chilumi: kiss)

[personal profile] viatriix 2024-10-06 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
( Lumine's heart soared feeling his reciprocation of the small kiss. It's a good thing she stopped it at a short kiss, because that familiarity and warmth would have made it longer. It's crazy how just one kiss made her want to just keep kissing him, like in those romantic movies. Two people in love meeting again after so long. But they weren't that right? His questions afterwards making the blush brighten in intensity of dormant feelings that seem like their coming back up. )

Mmm, it really did. Though, maybe one more time would help.

( With that said, and confirmation he was okay with it, she leans up again to press a kiss to his lips. This time longer and slower, just taking in the feel of his lips against hers, the hammering in her chest... Just soaking up his presence as she almost forgets about the setting their in.

Her hand that's rested on his shoulder reaching up to rest against his neck, thumb running over his jaw. Pulling away slowly, it did feel like she's kissed him like this so many times. Pupils dilated and a familiar fondness appearing in her eyes for him. )
viatriix: (pic#17440274)

[personal profile] viatriix 2024-10-07 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
( Bodies now flush together, the closeness brings both hands to the sides of his neck. The way he was deepening the kiss brought her heart to pound even faster, her jaw slacking to let his tongue mingle with hers, a dance of their own. Her face combusts, cheeks and ears red, her foot popping in the air returning the kiss with just as much emotion. The kiss coaxing a faint noise from her throat, the unexpectedness of it makes her heart stutter.

Glad they pulled away to recoup and relax, but she couldn't when he was looking at her like she was his whole world. Just like he was hers, like those romcom movies she likes to watch. The feeling of reuniting with a long, lost lover after believing she'd never see him again. But they've never met before this moment. His words confirming that he also felt the same way, like two lost lovers. Golden eyes sparkling with surprise, affection, and some hidden longing. She should speak too, not leave him in suspense.

Small hands reach up to his cheeks, one thumb rubbing his cheekbone, the other over his bottom lip. Slowly nodding her head along with his reveal, her heart soaring at the declaration of love. )


I... I feel the same way. No matter how many dates I've been on, they all didn't feel right... And I never knew why... But, it's because my heart belonged to someone already.

( Since he was not shy in his feelings and they were reciprocated, she felt the courage to explain her own feelings too. Smiling at him with the gentlest of affections, she moves her arms down to wrap around his middle and just hug him. The comfort and security his presence made her feel was real. )
viatriix: (pic#17440253)

[personal profile] viatriix 2024-10-07 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
( Wow, how was she going to explain this to her brother if he ever asked. She really didn't know how to explain it still, doesn't make it any less real. Perhaps she hugged him to clear her own thoughts, because staring into his eyes and kissing like that, was not making the confusion any less important. She's just breathing in and trying to get her heart under control.

Hearing him call her name, she pulls away just to be able to look up at him comfortably. She knows Aether wants her to call him when she's ready to leave, but she's sure Ajax wouldn't mind getting her home. So to be able to hear him over the music, she focuses on his words.

So, when he asks to go somewhere else, she looks over to the newly-wed and the rest of the banquet. Before turning back to face him and feeling in her heart like she had no worries with him around, she gives him a nod. )


Yeah, I'm sure they'll understand... ( She looks back to her chair and sees her purse still there, she lets go of him in order to walk to their table. Grabbing her purse, she should've gave it to Aether to take home. Turning back to walk over to Ajax. )

I agree, my own is quite a mess as well. Somewhere quiet would probably do us some good.

[personal profile] viatriix 2024-10-07 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
( She bashfully smiles at how easily he wrapped her hand in his, fingers threaded as they go to say goodbye to the newly wedded couple. Lumine feels like she can breathe, taking a big breath of fresh air. The brisk night air sending goosebumps up her bare arms and legs, but it was refreshing. So many bodies in one reception hall, despite being quite big, was getting too warm. )

That sounds like a great idea. Seems like you know your way around here.

( Spotting the park and entering it, she hurries over to a small swing set and takes a seat, tucking her short dress under her. Smiling as she just gently rocks herself back and forth on the heel of her heels. Patting the only other swing on the set, for him to take a seat as well.

Looking up at the moon and stars in the sky, she began to think about everything. The fuzziness she feels in her heart that's pounding out of her ribcage, the feelings of deja vu still stumbles her. Feeling a slight chill run up her spine, she let a sigh of relief escape. )


This is a cute park, I never noticed it on the way to the wedding.
