The Bet

Yo, Yoimiya!

[The booming voice of Arataki Itto resonates throughout the small apartment they share in downtown Inazuma, a loft that came relatively cheap for its location in the city. The buzzing of cars and people passing by the third story window could be heard all throughout the place, walls thin as a sheet of paper. But with it all comes the excitement of the city, and for these two, a plethora of food to gorge themselves on whenever it came time to feed. Inazuma in this day and age has everything to choose from, and food filtered in from all over the world.

It was a perfect set up for them both.

But for now, Itto sits at their small kitchen bar, eating his dino-shaped chicken nuggets that he'd microwaved from out of the freezer. On the plate is some barbeque sauce to dip them in, and he of course is trying to talk to her with his mouth full.]

Ain't it about time we go out and do some grocery shopping? MAN my stomach has been rumbling for the past week or so.

[In goes another dino nuggie, eating them up like they're water.]

If I don't get some food in me soon, I'm gunna shrivel up and wither away! Hey, you think I could talk Shinobu into...I MEAN, ahem, do you think she'd do us a solid and find us a sweet spot to pick up from?

[Ajax is so pleased with himself, he can feel her eyes watching him intensely while he continues to scarf down food to the best of his ability. Piece after piece of meat disappear, being able to get into some kind of groove despite his impairment. Though not as fast if he'd been sober, he's still getting there and the drunkenness is helping him ignore the fact that he's getting pretty full. There's only a little bit more to go, and he looks up to see how his opponent is doing.

Turns out she's doing just fine. Fine enough to take advantage of his own innate lust, eyes locking on her lips as they come into focus. It takes him to a place that's more than inappropriate, fantasies born anew from watching her tongue glide across her lips like that. His jaw drops involuntarily for a moment, feeling an urge inside of him that he's been fighting since he met her the day before, and the smallest, most quiet whine he's ever uttered escapes from his mouth. Oh, to have something as sexy as Yoimiya's mouth wrapped around him...he can only dream of it.

It doesn't help that he sees how sharp one of her teeth are, and he wants that to rake across his neck at some point in the night. Yoimiya is so unfair, she almost makes him want to break his own creed to himself and indulge in a night of lust and fantasy. Maybe there's just something about her that's different from all the other girls he's dated, or he's just really drunk, or both.]

I see you're not unfamiliar with a little tit for tat.

[He's not denying he played a little dirty, but she came back and did the same. He kind of likes it.]

But I'm still ahead.

[He eats a bit more of the meat, nearly finishing it off as he licks his own lips at her, devilish and cocky all the same. He wants to win, and furthermore, he wants to claim her lips as his prize once they're done.]

[ The road to successfully enticing him will be a long one but despite the challenges he's thrown at her, she senses that her little stunt had a profound effect on him. She can feel his eyes all over her, watching every slow drag of her tongue. Yoimiya knows she still has a ways to go before fully conquering him but she can tell he's slowly falling into her clutches.

He'll belong to hersoon enough. All she has to do is break his will down until he's begging for her.

However... she does have one more hurdle to jump over. ]

Wha...?

[ Yoimiya snaps out of her reverie, confused at his declaration. It's when she looks down, she realizes getting lost in his eyes was her downfall. ]

HEY! Using your good looks against me... grrrr, so unfair!

[ Alls fair in love and war as they say, but that doesn't mean she's happy about it. Yoimiya immediately picks up the pace, shoving more meat into her mouth but it's too late. Ajax is close to victory and catching up to him seems insurmountable. So, she isn't going down without making things difficult for him. A little bit of sauce drips down her wrist and the little imp wastes no time licking it off with another slow drag of her tongue, a little taste of the avenues her mouth can take him down. ]

[The amusement in his eyes can't be hidden. He loved every second of Yoimiya staring into his eyes and he can't wait for more opportunities to get her to lose herself in them again. When she pulls out of it, he can't help but laugh- it's one thing to know she thought he was good looking, but it's another to hear it out loud like that. Plus, she's pretty cute when she's all fired up and competitive. He definitely likes it.

And he's not afraid to show it, in the form of egging her on by taunting her, to drive her to want to beat him so badly that she can taste it, literally.]

What do you mean? It's your fault you allowed yourself to be so distracted.

[He says as she's already taking revenge on him. He glances over at just the wrong time in the middle of shoving the last of his side dishes down his throat, to watch her lick up her arm in a way that makes him stutter and feel his pants get a little tighter than they were a moment ago. Fuck, that tongue of hers will be the end of him, he swears. His barbarian brain wants to do anything to make sure it fits around his dick perfectly, and he has to stop for a second to recollect himself. Talk about unfair...]

Use every trick in the book why don't you! I won't let you beat me, Yoimiya!

[This is the home stretch. He's got to just finish his meat off and it's about done cooking. But she's almost done too...!]

Who me? Little ol' me has no idea what you're talking about.~ I'm just cleaning myself up.

[ And then she denied the allegations. Y'know, like a liar. The little devil knew exactly what she was doing and it shows in the smug grin and that same pretty pink tongue sticking out at him like a brat who just got her way. Yoimiya makes a note to consider herself a fisherman because she's pretty sure she caught herself an Ajaxfish hook, line, and sinker with that final blow.

But even with that small victory, she can't let her guard down at the finale. Seems like her little trick helped in catching up. However, he's still a good way ahead of her and if she has any hope of outpacing him, she has to play dirty.

And oh boy, Yoimiya loves playing dirty. (｀ω´) Carefully, she slips her foot out of her sandal, quietly so as not to alert him of her nefarious plan. She continues to prove that she is truly a little devil by shifting her position on the chair, pressing her foot against his bare leg. The smirk on her face grows devilish in nature as she doesn't hesitate to slowly move her foot across the curve of his calf.

All the while she pops in her final piece of meat and munches it in victory. ]

[She doesn't know. She's employing the same tactics as him and then sits there and tries to tell him straight to his face that that's not what she's doing. He doesn't buy it, especially when she sticks her tongue out at him. So bratty...he'll make her pay for that, later.

But she's gunna make him suffer first, he sees. As if he wasn't already slowly drowning in the gutter, the feel of her foot against his leg is nice, bringing a warmth to his chest that isn't from the alcohol. Plus, that little coax isn't helping his pants right now, wanting to return the sensual touch with some of his own, but they're in a damn restaurant and he's trying to win a contest. However, with all the distractions, the fact that she can eat meat far more raw than he could ever dream of, puts him at a disadvantage even if he'd gotten ahead at some point.

She eats the last morsel of food as he's waiting for his last piece to finish cooking. He doesn't notice right away, but when he finally picks it up from the grill, he notices as he pops his in his mouth that he's lost.

Now all said and done, he droops a little in defeat, but that doesn't stop his free hand from reaching down and rubbing her leg a little bit before she has the chance to retract it from his calf. He makes no indication of having shame, letting the palm of his hand rub up and down her own calf just so he can satiate one urge and preventing another in public.]

I can't believe this, I give you an inch, you take a mile...

[He sighs, but she won and they both were equally as bad with their distractions as each other. It was a "fair" fight in that regard, so he can't get all that mad ;)]

Well done, you win. I accept defeat.

[ As delicious as the meat is, victory tastes even better. Despite feeling like she was about ready to pop, the last bite was hands down the tastiest. She looks smug for a moment, only to feel a little bad when she notices that little droop. Poor guy gave her a run for her mora till the final second, can't blame him for feeling defeated. She's getting ready to console him until... she feels his sneaky hand running across her bare leg. The smirk on her lips grows wider as she gives him an all-knowing stare. For a virgin, this guy has no shame and she likes it.

She has a feeling that he'll be a wild one the moment he loses his inhibitions... and she can't wait to see him fully indulge in his desires. But for now, she opts to just tease him with her foot, shifting it up and down while he touches her leg. ]

Yay! I can't believe I beat the guy who took on a shark, hehe. I must say, you're a worthy opponent! There was a moment when I thought I would lose for sure.

[ Yoimiya doesn't mind stroking his ego a bit. After all, he deserves it for saving that guy. ]

Since I won, do you mind if I claim a prize?

[Ajax doesn't seem to mind that stare. He smiles back shamelessly towards her, not minding taking his consolation prize of getting to feel the smooth skin of her leg. Had he been sober, he might even note that her skin is icy to the touch here too, but right now he doesn't really care. All's fair in love and war, as they say, and this is a little of both. So he'll sit here, look proud of himself regardless, and enjoy that nice Yoileg.

Cocking an eyebrow, he seems interested in what she's got to say on this, though.]

A prize? Well, I guess it depends on the prize.

[Grinning mischievously, he wonders what this little firecracker has in mind.]

What would you like? I'll only agree to it if it's reasonable.

[ There's a long pause on her end. Yoimiya doesn't say anything for a good minute, simply returning his mischevious grin with a coy smirk. She figures he won't say no to her prize considering how much he enjoyed it last night. ]

Nothing much. Just a taste of something sweet.

[ And by sweet, she means those lucious lips of his. There's not a care in the world on her end, not a single hint of shame that they are in a restaurant as she leans forward, bringing her hand to his face so she can brush her thumb across his bottom lip, their mouth only a breath apart from one another. She's been yearning to have his mouth all over hers from that little stunt in their competition and now that she has him right where she wants him, Yoimiya isn't going to let that opprotunity slip by. Just like last night, she closes the distance, and seals their lips with a kiss. She lingers for a moment, drowning in his taste while his scent fills her nose. There's a bit of reluctance as she pulls back sooner than she would have liked but it's for the best. It would be nice to come back to this restaurant one day, it'd be such a shame to get kicked out because she couldn't control her urges.

But even as she breaks the kiss, Yoimiya makes it known that she really, really enjoys his by running her tongue across her top lip. ]

Thank you for the reward! I gotta say, your lips taste better than the meat.

[His eyes follow her slowly as she leans across the table, his skin prickling with excitement as her thumb brushes across his lip. This was a prize he wouldn't deny her, wanting the same from her since the night before. Ajax's smile grows as his lips part just slightly for her, allowing her to take him in fully as he presses her lips to his in a sweet kiss that clouds his mind and sweeps him up into her clutches.

He willingly meets her languid sweep across his lips, eyes closing while kissing back and feeling how his heart beats a little stronger when they share a moment like this, unable to deny to himself that when Yoimiya kisses him it just hits different. Like there's something special, something alluring in it that affects him in a way that no one else could dream to. He'd felt it the night before too, but now that some of his inhibitions have been obliterated due to the alcohol, there's no thought in his head to try to deny it.

There's something about her that draws him further to her, and right now, he has no interest in fighting it. His eyes flutter open, taken in by her kiss, smile dopey and wanting more than just the small taste he just got.]

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed them. If you'd like seconds, I'd be willing to indulge in some dessert out at the beach.

[Their destination is going back to the beach for the jellyfish, and his drunk ass knows they're going to have a great time.]

You're not the only one who got a taste of a flavor they enjoy.

[ Just like that, Yoimiya can tell he's falling harder for her, he's just like putty in her hands. Seeing him look so lovedrunk by her kiss is everything she's ever hoped for. He looks so cute, so innocent... and so perfectly ripe for the taking that she can hardly contain herself. The smirk on her lips couldn't be any wider. This is the face of a girl who definitely enjoys seconds, especially if they are as sweet as Ajax. She really didn't think he'd fold this easily for her but sure looks like her natural charms are doing a number on him.

Now. All she has to do is keep indulging him in his desires to make her want her so desperately bad, a feat that should be easily doable if he's this easy to please. ]

Look at you, promising me a good time. I feel like I just drew the luckiest fortune from the Narukami Shrine. Well, I won't keep you waiting for dessert any longer. Let's head out to see the jellyfish. The place I have in mind is in a cozy little nook on Amakane Island.

[ Thankfully since they gorged themselves out, there's no food to be taken as leftovers. She's pretty sure her loud roomie will get upset if he found out she ate yakiniku without him and didn't bring him a single crumb but eh, he'll live. Taking him by the hand, she laces their fingers together, granting him a little bit of her touch to tide him over as they make the trek to Amakane Island. ]

---

[ Aside from walking like a drunk fool, and her stomach feeling like it's going pop from all the food they ate, the trip went relatively without a hitch! She had to lean against Ajax a few times to prevent herself from falling flat on her face but she's sure he enjoyed her warmth. Amakane Island is just within sight, it might be small but little island is a treasure in her eyes. She's seen many festivals come and gone but all of them have made a profound impact on her. ]

Welcome to my favorite spot in all of Inazuma! If you ever get the chance you should totally come here during one of our festivals. We're pretty great at hosting fun festivals, hehe.

[ But as much as she can yap about festivals, that's not what they're here for! Tonight their goal is to see the jellyfish dance underneath the starry sky. With that in mind, she gives his hand a gentle squeeze and leads him down the path below the cliff with Yumemiru trees lined across the shore. She's still having trouble walking but thankfully, she has an actual skyscraper to lean on for assistance.

From a distance, she spots a faint luminescent glow in the ocean. Excitement swells within her chest the closer they get, she's been dying for Ajax to see them in person and they've finally made it. ]

Ready? Three... two... one...!

[ Right on cue, Yoimiya steps to the side to reveal a school of jellyfish lighting up the sea for miles on end. There are so many of them, and their blue glow shines as bright as ever, almost as if they're looking to find their way back into the deep galaxy that is the ocean. ]

Beautiful isn't it? They remind me of stars in the ocean.

[If there was any sake left to drink before they left, Ajax made sure to leave it dry.

With his hand in hers, laughing and having a nice walk over, and having Yoimiya lean into him as they both drunkenly made their way to Amakane Island, he's as happy as a clam. He'd drank so much sake that there was no hope of him sobering up until the next day, and he likes it that way. It doesn't occur to him right now that maybe he went a bit overboard tonight, because Yoimiya is just as happy and seems like she's having just as much fun, so what could make for a better night? He can think of a few more things that could happen that would be wonderful to cap the night off, but they won't get around to that until they reach their destination.

The island itself is beautiful, and he instantly understands why Yoimiya brought him here to view the jellyfish. He happily follows her down under the cliff, admiring the Yumemiru trees through his drunken haze, leaning into her a little bit as he wobbles down the coast. Thankfully they both can use each other to keep steady, and his eyes start to scan around to see if he can spot the jellyfish, not seeing them until she begins her countdown and...

Ajax's eyes widen at the sight, the lights of the jellyfish shining in the water for miles on end. He feels like his breath is taken away, staring out into the ocean, mesmerized by the beauty of the jellyfish. He looks down to her, his smile wide before it returns back to the ocean, amazed and enjoying the show.]

Wow...it's gorgeous. I didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't this.

[A natural wonder of the world, clearly. Ajax continues to stare until his balance fails him a little, wobbling and urging him to sit down before his inebriation makes him trip and fall on his own shoelaces. So, he takes that sign to sit, patting the ground next to him so she can join him at his side.]

This is incredible, Yoimiya. Thank you for taking me out here...

[It's kind of romantic, when he thinks about it. It's a nice backdrop to a nice evening with a girl he didn't even realize he might start seeing from the night before. She was so easy to talk to, spend time with, have fun with...]

...this really makes this the perfect night, don't you think?

[ Sure, they might be drunk out of their mind and ready to keel over any second but that just makes this day all the more memorable. Watching Ajax look enamored by the sight of the jellyfish floating across the water is a majesty of its own. He seems so amazed and for a second, she swears it looks like the stars have reflected onto his deep blue irises. For that, Yoimiya is really happy she took his drunk butt all the way out here. His expression alone is worth more than a thousand memories.

But oops! Looks like this man is so drunk he can hardly stand still. She can't help but giggle at him. But she doesn't have any room to talk! As soon as he pats the empty spot next to him, she wastes no time joining him... only to stumble her way down. Now, it's her turn to laugh at her drunk self as she picks herself back up, and cozy up to him. This time, she makes sure to lean on him for support because falling into the water with a whole bunch of jellyfish out and about sounds like a bad time. ]

Hehe, you're right! This is the perfect way to end the night. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, I had to make sure you come out here to see the jellyfish at least once. And now, you have another fun story to share with your family back home.

[ There is one more thing he needs to know about the jellyfish. ]

Y'know, rumor has it that in the crowd of jellyfish, there's one that has a pink glow to it. Legend has it that if you're lucky to spot the pink jellyfish, you'll be blessed in love. Kinda cute, isn't it? I've never seen this supposed jellyfish with my own two eyes.

[Ajax's arm comes to wrap around her to pull her in close to him, both now safe from tumbling into the water and possibly having something bad happen to the two of them. It's nice, under the moonlight and the accent of the stars and jellyfish to give the background a ethereal feel. A content sigh comes out of his nose, looking down at the water, then up to the sky, then to Yoimiya who's cutely tucked into him, then back. He feels perfectly comfortable, like he's right at home right here, just like this.]

A pink one? I've never even heard of a pink jellyfish.

[Of course, they exist, he's just too ignorant on aquatic life to know that.]

If they bless the ones who spot it with love, [is that really how it works, Ajax? With love or in love?] then we should definitely try to see if we can find it.

[His mouth is moving faster than his brain, and he's just spouting off words without thinking about what he's saying. But he's very serious now about finding the pink jellyfish, beginning to scour the sea, determined to find it to ensure that they would receive the jellyfish's blessing.]

Nnnnnngh, it's so hard to see their colors....

[It absolutely can't be because his vision is all dizzy and blurry whenever he moves his head or his eyeballs.]

[ Sounds like someone needs to brush up on his marine biology. But that's okay! He might be a bit ignorant about sea creatures but that makes him cute and Ajax can get away with anything because he's so cute. Sometimes life is so unfair...

That aside, she also didn't expect he'd be serious about finding the legendary pink jellyfish. She kind of assumed he'd laugh it off as a tall tale and call it a day. Especially since... love is involved, she really didn't think he'd show any interest in the legend. Maybe it's the alcohol talking but there's something about the way he says definitely that pulls at her heartstrings, it's endearing that he's so serious about this silly local legend.

And well, who is she to let him down? If finding a pink jellyfish makes him happy, she's more than happy to be on the lookout. ]

Right? There are so many of them. You would think a pink one in a sea of blue would be easy to spot...

[ She sighs for a moment, feeling a little dejected until she's hit with an idea. They might not locate the silly thing but she can at least make him feel better. Taking advantage of their proximity, Yoimiya huddles in close, craning her neck to whisper into his ear in a low, sultry voice that will play in his head even when he sleeps. She might not be able to use her powers to attract him but she figures there's no rule against using her charms to guide him to find a jellyfish. ]

Don't worry, I know you can find it. I believe in you, Ajax. If there's anyone who can find it, it's you.

[Ajax is trying so hard, he wants to find it and he just can't. There's so many jellyfish in the sea that it's hard to see if there's even more underneath the first layer, and he's not drunk enough to think going and swimming with them is a good idea, thankfully. He looks and looks and doesn't see a thing, sighing with resignation.

No pink jellyfish. Oh well...

And just when he's about to give up for the night, Yoimiya whispers in his ear the encouragement he needs. Something about her words settles deep within his mind, reinvigorating him and giving him the resolve not to give up. Tonight, they probably wouldn't find it. But he would find this legendary pink jellyfish. Someday.]

Mmmmmmm...

[He hums back in response, as if those words mesmerize him for a moment. Her magic has taken hold, and he looks over to her with determination shining in his eyes.]

I'll ensure the day I find it, you'll be at my side to see it. I swear it.

[His heart beats like a steady drum, as if he were a knight making a promise to his maiden. Stalwart in his promise, he offers a confident grin- like he would find it and gain the blessing of the pink jellyfish.]

[ It's a shame they won't encounter it tonight. Truthfully, Yoimiya isn't sure if they'll ever find it, she's only heard about a few people who have seen it through the grapevines and they could be exaggerating. But even so, her childlike sense of wonder wants to believe it's out there somewhere just waiting for the moment it can bestow it's blessings onto a lucky couple.

She pulls away at this response, pleased that her little trick seems to be working. Receiving a jellyfish's blessing isn't exactly a priority for her since she's determined to make this man hers at all costs. But since Ajax is at the helm of this mission, she has a feeling he might be the one to find the legendary jellyfish. And it gives him more reason for him to keep coming back to her...

That's the real treasure of all this. ]

Really?! You're such a sweetheart, Ajax. I have faith you'll find it one day.

[ To thank him, she plants a trail of kisses that start from his neck. She pecks her lips all over his face, smooching all over his chin, cheeks, and forehead until she finally stops at his lips and gives him a nice, long kiss to show her gratitude. ]

And when you do, we'll be blessed for sure.

[Her bright response is so adorable, but he wasn't prepared for the barrage of kisses he'd receive for his pledge. They feel so nice, and his eyes close so he can concentrate on the feel of Yoimiya's lips all over him. Each kiss leaves behind a buzzing sensation on his skin, and her final kiss has him dizzy from all her affection. Yoimiya's so sweet, so fun, so nice...he really could get used to this.

His lips can't help but caress hers back, taken by her charms and ready to enjoy each other's company as they'd promised each other back in the restaurant.]

Haha, you're too kind to indulge in my silly little fantasies. Now, if you don't mind...think we could indulge in a little something else, for now? You have a maddening kiss...

[All he's wanted to do for at least a half an hour now is make out with her. Forget dinner, forget jellyfish, Yoimiya's delicious lips is all he wants.]

I just want to sample it a bit more before the night ends. Nothing more.

[ Bit by bit, Yoimiya can sense that her charms seem to be doing a number on him. Honestly, she thought he'd be a tougher nut to crack than this but she certainly isn't complaining. If a kiss is what he wants, then she's more than happy to indulge him and ensure that he dreams about her luscious lips all night long.

She leans in closer, their lips within a hair's breadth of each other, her gaze flickering appreciately over his lean, muscular body that she's been dying to sink her fangs into. ]

Ask and you shall receive. I must say, I've become pretty addicted to your lips too. So, I'd like to have another taste before we part ways...

[ It's tempting to tease him but she won't torture him. He's been so good to her all day and deserves to have his desires fulfilled. Without further delay, she hooks an arm around his his back, leaning in for that kiss both of them have been craving ever since they left the restaurant. Unlike at the restaurant, this time, her lips meet with his without any hint of restraint. ]

[Ajax can feel the electricity in the air, and all that tension that had been building up between them with only small moments of respite is all finally coming to a head. With no inhibitions left in him to resist, when Yoimiya takes him and claims his lips for herself, he's all too willing to give them to her.

Their lips slot, and their long awaited makeout session begins. He knew she had a magical, mesmerizing kiss, but this is beyond what he'd imagined. Drunk on sake and her succulent lips, he kisses back with an unrestrained fervor that reveals his hunger and showcases his need to her. Though Ajax is still hesitant to give away his virginity, kissing girls and indulging in his desires is not the same, and it shows. His hands expertly move to pull her into him and tangle in her hair, letting himself drown under the passion of her lips like it was the very breath of fresh air he needed to live.]

Mmmmmmm...

[Only small breaks for a second are needed to catch his breath, before he reconnects with her in a moment of desire and eagerness. Kissing Yoimiya is amazing, he's never kissed a girl who's made him feel like this. Maybe some of it is the alcohol, but it can't be all that. Ajax unabashedly moans and hums into their kisses, opening his mouth a bit more so their tongues can dance with each other, inviting her in to have her way with his mouth as she pleases. He secretly hopes he can get a little bit of her teeth on his skin, as his tongue finds the sharp pointed edge of one of them, turning him on a little more than he thought he would be...]

[ Though the greedy side of her is still hoping for more, his invitation for a makeout session is more than what she bargained for. She truly didn't expect this innocent virgin to drop his inhibitions this early on. It might not be exactly what she wants but good things come to those who wait, and Ajax has proven himself to be more than worth the wait. She can't get enough of his luscious lips, kissing him feels like she's biting into a little slice of heaven. And surely, she finds herself becoming more addicted to him as the slick sounds of their sloppy kissing fill the ocean breeze around them.

The small break is necessary but even as she's panting through the heat, the hazy, love-drunk expression on her face makes it clear she's already missing their connection. Thankfully, that moment is only fleeting and he's already diving back for more. She can feel that slick tongue running along her sharp canines, and there's something about that little action that sends a jolt of heat into her gut, she'd love to see more of that boldness from him. For his efforts, she's happy to allow him to explore her mouth as he pleases. She parts her lips and in turn, she spills her tongue into his mouth, dipping along his, giving him full access to her sharp teeth, all the while her finger draws long circles along the back of his neck in tandem with their kissing.

Unbeknownst to him, the seemingly innocent finger is anything but. Underneath the pad of her fingers is a mark that will ensure he never forgets about her or this night for the rest of his life. She makes the finishing touches until finally, she presses her finger down on the curve of his neck to finish the enchantment. ]

[Kissing her feels like a dream, and he appreciates how she meets him halfway and shares this intimate dance with him. He loves how she feels against his lips, and enjoys the touch of her finger against his neck. It all makes for a wonderful experience, and when they finally finish and he draws back from her with heavily-lidded eyes and a smitten expression on his face, he has to take a moment to gaze into her own.

Yoimiya's visage seems to mirror his own, filling him with satisfaction and a feeling of contentment. It mattered to him that she was enjoying herself too, and though he wasn't worried that she'd like to engage in making out with him, he didn't want to disappoint her. Unbeknownst to him, the feelings and lust he feels now for her will forever follow him in his dreams, never letting him forget the connection he's formed with her tonight. If he weren't so protective of his own virginity, no doubt he would invite her back to his apartment tonight.]

You're beautiful, Yoimiya.

[With no filter, he isn't afraid to say what he's thinking in this moment. Her eyes, her lips, the way her hair frames her face and how wonderful he feels...she deserves to be told how incredible she is.]

Sorry, haha...was that too straightforward?

[He's kinda drunk still, so....]

[ When it's all said and done, Yoimiya needs a moment to catch her breath because whew, he really did steal her breath away during that incredible makeout session. She couldn't be any happier to see that gorgeous face smitten with pure need for her. No doubt she still has a long way to go before he fully gives in, Ajax was going to be a tough nut to crack from the get-go. But... she gets the feeling she's slowly but surely, chipping away at his resolve.

And then, he calls her beautiful...

It's not the first time she's heard it but there's something about the way he says it while looking completely and utterly enamored with her that causes her heart to race like no other. For a moment, Yoimiya is silent, almost taken aback by his sudden confession until her lips curve into a sweet smile. ]

No, it wasn't. That's one of the sweetest things anyone has said to me.

[ Now that the mark is complete, she pulls her hand away from his neck to cup the side of his face. ]

In fact, I think you're the most handsome guy I've ever had the pleasure of meeting up with.

[Relief swells up inside of him. For a second, he got worried that maybe he took that too far. He really is having a hard time controlling his mouth, but a girl like her...she feels like a steal. Like luck itself decided that it was going to bless him with this wonderful girl.

But, another part of him is still burned, still cynical...the reason why he's not so willing to just throw himself fully in with someone else.]

Hahaha...I'm honored you think so. I truly hope that's the case.

[There's a tinge of sadness and hurt in his eyes, underneath a thick layer of genuine joy. It's hard to see, but it's there, only visible because his inebriation can't manage to hide it.]

I guess that means we'll be able to see each other again? Haha, sorry I got so drunk on our first real date...

[Polite drunk boy Ajax starting to apologize for everything now...]

[ It's faint and could have been easily missed if she wasn't already lost in his visage. Behind those beautiful blue eyes is what appears to be sadness, a hint of heartache and dejection. Yoimiya isn't sure what to make of it and for all she knows, she could just be seeing things thanks to the alcohol's strong hold on her.

But...

If her mind isn't playing tricks on her, she can't help but wonder if Ajax has been hurt in the past. Even when he's drunk, he's being so polite and wary... ]

Hey, no need to apologize! I think you're cute when you're drunk. You say the silliest things and you even managed to become a pro at chopsticks.

[ And oh boy, she can't wait to show him the video when they're sober. Giggling, she moves her hand from his cheek to the top of his head to try and cheer him up a bit. Pat pat pat. His ginger curls are so soft! ]

If anything, I say we should get drunk more often! I bet you're a blast to play games with when you're intoxciated, hahaha.

[That does seem to brighten his spirits. The cute little pats to his head and the encouragement does wonders for him, always loving when he gets a little praise. And he's pretty sure she's not lying to him just to make him feel better. They had a lot of fun today, and for as much as he likes drinking, he's glad that she'd do it with him again.]

I can think of a few games you'd enjoy drunk. In Snezhnaya, we like our drinking games quite a bit. I bet you'd love it.

[Yoimiya manages to wipe his discomfort and sadness away, and he's back to his happy drunk self again, ready for more silliness and more kissing, if she'd like.]

We'll play a few the next time we decide to tip a few bottles back. Then, maybe I can introduce you to my favorite drink. I'm warning you, it'll put a bit of hair on your chest. It's not one for the weak-spirited.
