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.]

[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.
