Sparring ☢ Enough to make my systems blow

[littledhampir]

♬ Radioactive - Imagine Dragons

WHO || Dimitri Belikov & Rose Hathaway [closed]
WHAT || A little hand to hand combat and some discoveries.
WHERE || Castle | Second Floor | Training Room
WHEN || Friday Mid-Morning, March 8th
HOW || Action Spam

[Not for the first time this week, Rose can be found in the training room, far more at home here than anywhere else in the Castle. She remains almost oblivious to the people who have been coming and going by now and as she has been every day this week, she is training alone, fully aware that her nature makes finding a suitable sparring partner nearly impossible.]

[She hadn't known how worried she'd been that his answer would be different until she heard those reassuring words, Rose's eyes closing as she exhaled. Though she couldn't explain it, she just couldn't shake the idea that there would be some ridiculous reason for them not to do this and though maybe, there were plenty of reasons why they shouldn't, they were eclipsed by all the reasons why they should.]

Good. [A relieved chuckle passing her lips as those nerves were expelled.

She was about to keep talking but those words cut her off, Rose's eyes meeting his and the smile that touched her lips came easily now, Rose moving closer still, wanting to feel every inch of his body pressing against her own.]

I love you too. [She laughed, unexpectedly.] I know that's just - crazy, right? But I - I can't remember you but I know you. [Light fingertips brushed his hair from his face.] And I want to know everything about you.

[likeagod]

Just because it's crazy doesn't make it any less true.

[She knew him, and he knew her. Not the things that he should know, perhaps, but in some way that didn't really matter. He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead, holding her comfortably in his arms, their bodies melding together in a way that was natural and right.]

I don't remember much about myself, either. [He admitted it begrudgingly, though he also assumed she was the same.] Perhaps we'll just have to relearn it all. Together.

[littledhampir]

Then we’ll just find out as we go.

[Simple as that. No angst, no worry just this unshakable belief that now they’d found each other, everything for them would be perfect and Rose kissed him then as she entangled herself even more with Dimitri, hungry to remake every kiss that she knew they must shared. It felt as though they’d been torn apart and they had so much to make up for, so much to create new.]

And most of the finding out will be happening in your room cause it is so much better than mine. [Grinning against his lips, everything about her mood lighter now that they had something sure, something she believed wouldn’t be taken away from her in a hurry.]

[likeagod]

[He returned the kiss, the action as easy as breathing, and wrapped his arms around her as their bodies entwined together.]

You're welcome to stay, of course.

[He meant tonight, but he also meant every night after that, if it was what she wanted. He was most certainly not going to complain. A beautiful woman that he'd found himself mysteriously in love with sleeping beside him in bed every night?

He found himself even more pleased with the idea of waking up beside her in the morning, as if that was something impossible before today.]

[littledhampir]

Oh I… [Grinning.] Hadn’t planned on giving you much of a choice.

[Chuckling before she kissed him again, a low hum of contentment vibrating in her chest as she drew it out, her fingers toying with the ends of his hair.

Rose pulled back, a thought hitting her that made her smile as she scanned his face, fingers still running through his locks.]

You must have really liked me. [Brow raised an almost teasing tone to her words before she broached the more serious topic.] I mean… You broke me out of prison. That's, kind of a big deal.

[likeagod]

I'm glad I expected it, then.

[He chuckled, pulling on his arms to drag her closer, lips pressed against hers, familiar and tender.

He closed his eyes briefly as her fingers ran through his hair, and he considered her words carefully, as if examining the emotions and memories that they brought up to the surface.]

I'm not sure how to explain it. [He admitted this after a long pause.] I knew you were innocent. And I knew I wanted to protect you. [He reached up and tucked a section of hair behind her ear, letting the strands slip softly against his fingertips.] I don't think I was the only one.

[littledhampir]

I was giving you credit for being brave and noble. You should have just run with it.

[Nose wrinkling, eyes shining back at him as her voice took on a slightly teasing tone to match her smile. It was of course more serious than that and even wanting to avoid thinking too long on topics they'd never have answers for wouldn't make it go away completely.

Rose's smile softened, all but laying on top of him now, drinking in his features with dark eyes that reflected her adoration.]

You were the one who came with me though. [Serious again, about to say more but instead, she showed him what it meant, kissing him again, letting the emotion pour into it, like a slow, burning longing that was finally being fulfilled.]

[likeagod]

I'm sure plenty of others thought me a fugitive as well. I...simply didn't care. Maybe I'm not as noble as you think.

[Whatever they'd been doing, it had been far more important than that. And while the words could have been taken on a more serious note, the way he leaned into her as he said them suggested otherwise.]

I did. [That was said softly, before their lips met again, his pulling in her bottom one so that he could lightly suck on his before releasing her.] It seems I really will follow you anywhere. [Even across dimensions.]

[littledhampir]

[It was hard to care so much about the what and the why when she couldn't remember any of it clearly. The only thing that mattered to her now was the man whose arms she was in, the way he looked at her, the way he made her feel.

A low moan rumbled in her chest as he tugged on her lower lip, exhaling a content sigh as the smile she swore would never be erased sat easily on her lips.]

Not anymore. [Gazing into his dark eyes.] Now we'll go everywhere together.
