"Guh..." Vedrit grumbled, his stomach rumbling, reminding him of the missed meals.
He had never been on-station for so long since leaving the academy.
"Food..." he mumbled, heading off to the cafeteria. He had had enough of the pubs, cafes, restaurants, and just wanted food. Nothing fancy, so catchy music playing in a partying atmosphere. He just wanted something...boring.
When Vedrit got to the cafeteria, he just stood in line, not really looking at what he was getting, and he really didnt care, so long as it was edible.
Add a cup of water, and Vedrit was set, Earth-style sandwich and all. With all the other places to grab a bite, it was no suprise that the cafeteria had a lot of room, a few tables completely empty.
"Food..." Vedrit mumbled again, sitting down to eat
-
Luci walked in the general direction of the cafeteria, her ears perked forward and her tail swishing slowly behind her; she had been trying to fix a pilot's plane but after an argument and a few flying objects she had decided that food was the answer.
"FOOOOOOOOOOOD!" she burst into the cafeteria with a loud shout before casually walking to the line Hmm i hope they've got curry...though there arn't many here so there should be some left luci thaught to herself a wide grin set on her face, she swiftly glanced around checking her surroundings for nothing in particular.
After assulting the room with her hungry stare she grabbed a tray and loaded it up with curry, rice balls, an apple and a can of relentless "Mmm they sure have stocked up good! all the best earth classics!" her laughed to herself and began walking to a random table, she sat down next to an average looking man "Hey" she waved at the man before eating her curry, her pupils now streched out into slits.
-
Vedrit raised an eyebrow to the spontaneous company. Another "interesting" person. So many of them on Libra.
"Yo." was Vedrit simple reply, then kept eating. Not that he was against the company, its just he was hungry, and the company was female. He always became more withdrawn around women. Especially when they looked like cat-people. Fetishes, *giggle giggle*
"They had curry?" he asked, seeing what he was eating. He liked curry, especially really spicy curry. He even went so far as to learn the history of the dish. An Idian dish, adopted by Asian cultures.
-
Luci smiled and opened the can of relentless taking a quick sip before replying "Yeah they had curry! chicken madras to be precise" her smile widened to a smirk as she eyed up what the man has been eating "Hmm seems you got short changed with your uhh...sandwich" she giggled and started eating one of the rice balls.
Damn this guy must of been half asleep when he got his food..a sandwich is not a meal... she thaught to herself pulling a face when she realised that it was kind'of mean to critisize someones food choice.
"Hey umm a random question! whats your name?" she looked at the man and tilted her head to the side slightly, her fringe swishing across her face to cover her green eye and reveal her blue one.
-
"I should have payed more attention..." he mummbled, although chicken madras didnt sound like a familiar curry dish, "Oh well. A sandwich is still food."
Again, Vedrit raised his eyebrow. This chick was preatty energetic. Good thing it wasnt contagious. "Vedrit. Some call me V, some Ved. You?" he asked. It was only fitting he ask her name. If he was going to make new friends *cough* he should atleast know the persons name. Otherwise, it would get awkward, always calling the other person by "Hey!" or "Pal" or something.
-
"Im luci! but you can call me lu or umm 'c'? or just luci if you want" she laughed at her lack of nicknames and pushed her plate in vedrits direction "If you get bored of the sandwich you could try some! i know im not going to eat all that, well not until i want to kill all my taste buds" she grinned and picked up her apple;taking a quick bite out of it, her eyes lighting up as the sweetness filled her mouth. Mmmm i love apples! im so glad that we have them here in libra! she thaught to herself her tail swishing from side to side slowly.
-
Vedrit was beggining to wonder if Luci was too energetic for him. It was like trying to mix water and heavy oil; It just doesnt work.
"I think I'll go with Lu." Vedrit said, then smiling as a joke came to mind "Lu zer." he mumbled, hoping Luci didnt hear. It wasnt nice, but it was funny.
"Have you seen a show called Wolf Spice? You remind me of one of the characters in it." What? Small talk? OMGNOWAY!
"But I think I'll stick with my sandwich. Its not bad, in a classic old-Earth kind of way. Maybe we can share a meal later." he said dismissivly, completely unaware that it could be interpreted as a requset for a "date"
-
Luci looked at vedrit her eyes looking somewhat darker "What was that ved? hmm?" she narrowed her eyes at the man, a smirk placed on her lips.
She shook her head at his question and smiled happily her previous look completly gone "If theres a character you think is like me then i might have to watch it, just too see if i'll like what im being compared too" she grinned and pulled her plate back, taking another bite of her apple "Sure thing! i hope you know im holding that meal too you" she giggled and continued to munch on her apple.
-
"Oh, Im sure you'll like being compared to her. Witty, energetic, and a god." He explained, purposfully leaving out a select few other adjectives.
"So Lu. What do you like to do?" Ved asked, popping the last bit of his sandwich into his mouth, and wondering, in the back of his mind, what he was going to do with the rest of his "day". Probably find another freighter to escort, maybe do some meintenance. It didnt help that he was bored with the station already.
-
"Witty! energetic and a god! il love her already!" she grinned her ears perking forward.
"Umm...well i like fixing things! thats why i became a mechanic and uhh i love drawing and painting! its calming after a stressful day" she finnished the last of her apple and laughed quietly to herself as somthing popped into her head "I hope you dont mind but i like to eat the apple cores too" she took a bite of the apple core and swallowed it down with ease "So how about you? what do you like to do?" she asked wondering what sort of person ved was.
-
"Im something of a mechanic myself," he leaned forward a bit, "but its more for my own ship, rather than fixing others. I love flying, mostly out in space."
He didnt mind her eating apple cores. Sure, it was wierd, but its not like it hasnt been done before.
"I dont think there is anything as great as flying. The freedom, the smooth, complete control over the ship, its grace as it speeds along. You dont know what your missing." he said, unable to restrain a smile
-
"Hmm it does sound rather nice! you'll have to take me flying somtime" she finnished off the last of the core and looked around at her suroundings; she had never really looked at the cafeteria, it was just a place were she ate curry and occasionally just sat to think about things.
"So how long have you lived on libra?" she asked looking at vedrit curiously.
-
"Lived on? Eh...About 18 standard years. The last 8 have been spent out and about. I call my ship home more than Libra." Vedrit answered, "And if your done, we can go flying now. Im not doing anything." he added, wanting to show off his ship, skills, and ego.
-
"oh i see, sounds like fun! sorta' like an adventure" she grinned and streched her arms out so she didnt get stiff from sitting in the same position "Really? flying now! hell yes!" she jumped up out of her seat and grabbed her can of relentless, downing it quickly before throwing the can in the trash and putting her plate in the wash up pile "Lets go! i've never been flying before, it sounds pretty silly right? but i just never have" she tilted her head to the side and began daydreaming about what it would be like, her tail wagging happily behind her.
-
"One condition though," Vedrit said as he stood, "Its a tight fit for two people, so you'll have to calm down a bit." he didnt design his ship to fit two comfortably, only make two fit.
"Follow me." he said, trying to snap her out of her obvious day-dreaming session to lead her to the docking deck.
-
"Ok i'll calm down" she smiled and rubbed the back of her neck slightly embarrassed at how excited she could get.
She followed him obediently her eyes wide and curious "so how did you get into being a pilot? was it somthing you always wanted to do?" lilly asked thinking about how she had gotten into mechanics; it was really an accident...but it was a good one none the less.
I bet being a pilot is really exciting...
-
"Origionally," Vedrit began, leading the way, "I joined the Libra Academy. A youngling like me was easily drawn by the glamor and glory the military puts on. They found I had sufficient skill, or showed enough potential, to be trained as a pilot, so they did. When it came time to decide to further my military career, or pick something else, I found that military life wasnt for me, so I picked something else."
As they entered the docking bay, Vedrit checked in, and informed the officer he would be leaving station, then led the way to his ship, continuing his answer "But yeah, I always wanted to be a pilot. The reasons why I love it are the reasons I pursued it. But I didnt want to fly stock, standard ships. I wanted to fly a ship that was made for me, by me. A ship that fit me like a glove, and that I understood. Ontop of flying, I know about spaceship mechanics and maintenance. Not as much as you, no doubt, but enough to make sure my baby doesnt fall apart in the vacuum or entering atmosphere."
His ship wasnt much to look at. It was no sportscar of spaceships, but it certainly ran like one, and with the carrying capacity of a small frieghter. Two v-shaped wings held twin large-calibor ballistic machine guns.
-
"Hmm..so the militry is nothing like it looks then? thats so weird.." lucia smiled slightly as she listened to vedrit "So is flying like super fast and scary? do you have to dodge rocks and stuff? in space yanno' like astroids?" she asked thinking about stories other people had told her "To me it sounds pretty scary..i mean if your going really fast and you have to suddenly stop or swerve around somthing you've got to have really good reflexes!" she looked at vedrit her eyes wide and filled with admiration.
"Wow! cool ship!" lucia looked at the ship, her mind assessing the quality of the ship "Definately looks like a good one, like one of those ships that dont look completely amazing but run perfectly and are generally super awesome" her smile faultered slightly as a wave of nervousness washed over her "Um...i know you probably like to zoom along as fast as you can but...could you take it abit easier...im quite nervous.." she bit her lip and looked down at her feet feeling ashamed of showing such an emotion.
-
Vedrit smirked, and when he couldnt hold it back anylonger, laughed outloud.
"No, its not like that, unless you fly into an asteroid belt or something, otherwise, the armor can take a beating. Something about the forces of the vacuum of space pulling on the hull canceling the impact of space dust. Reflexes are good for tight spaces, like asteroid belts, or crowded space, or fights. Otherwise, I just let auto-pilot zoom me around, as you put it." Vedrit said, hoping he didnt come across as angry or something. For him, flying was like walking. You can twist your ankle, or the flooring could be poor and you could fall to your death, but people dont think about it because it rarely happens.
"Though stopping or suddenly turning at high speeds can cause issues. No matter how good our technology is, our insides tend to slow down slower than the rest of us. But I dont mind taking it slower. Just a leisurely trip around the station. Im guessing you've never been out side the station." he opened the cockpit and motioned for Luci to climb into the second seat, "There wont be much leg room, but this isnt exactly a luxury cruiser. I'll have to help you with the straps. They are kinda complicated."
-
Luci crossed her arms and pouted as he began to laugh "Its not that funny...i only build and fix the ships i dont fly them" she poked her tongue out and blew a raspberry "and no i have never been off the station, i was born and raised here" she smiled and climbed into the cockpit sitting in the second seat "You were right about the straps and the leg room, you really did build this with luxary out of mind" she began to look carefully at the structure around her, it looked pretty good for somthing he had built himself.
"So were abouts do you usually travel then? you said you spent the last 8 years out and about.." she looked at ved waiting for him to answer her question.
-
Vedrit climbed up and began clicking harnesses together and adjusting them, "Function before fashion is something I learned in the military, and it works well. But I've been all over the place. I mostly escort merchant freighters, so where ever they pay me to go, I go."
Making sure the harnesses were properly placed and adjusted, Vedrit sat in the forward seat and strapped in.
"There is a compartment in the hull to your right with a headset in. You dont need to put it on, but it wouldnt hurt, though they arent exactly made for your ears." he said, putting on his own headset.
Hitting a few buttons on the console infront of him, the screens came to life, and copies lighting up for Luci. Another button made the cockpit close, another started the hum of the engines, and another button hailed flight control
"Control, this Starhawk on departure." Vedrit radioed
"Copy that Starhawk, you are clear for departure." Came the static-ey reply.
"I promise to be slow." Vedrit said to Luci as he guided his ship through the dock out into space
-
Luci watched as ved clicked the harnesses together "Oh i see..sort of like a moderated taxi then? no offene ofcourse" she nodded and took the headset out, putting it on and giggling quietly to herself "I feel like a spy! you know the ones that put the headsets on as they get in they're um...cars! yeah as they get in they're cars and then they run away from the bad guys!" she grinned childishly and looked at ved her eyes bright and glistening.
"Thank you..." she looked down at her feet again and twirled a strand of firey red hair around her finger as she bit her lip; feeling a wave of nervousness wash over her again.
-
"No, more like armed body guard." he said, "I get payed to escort merchants, defending them against pirates or hostile forces."
Clearing the dock, Vedrit opened the throttle a bit, the engines humming a little louder, "This is what you're missing." he said, the stars reaching out endlessly around them.
Turning so the station was above them, he flew parallel to the station, "I can see your home from here." he joked, watching the levels of the station drift by
-
"Oh..right i get it! so your abit of a hero then eh?" luci smiled and looked at ved before looking out at the space around her "I-i.....its.." her eyes widened as she struggled to both breath and form a sentace "I've never...seen anything so...this...i.." she let out a shaky laugh as he joked about her home "How can you deal with this so calmly?" her smile widened and another shaky laugh left her mouth as she realised how stupid the question was "Ofcourse, you've done this before..." she looked back at ved her eyes becomming slightly watery.
-
"Hero?" Vedrit chuckled, "Not really. Im no villian, but its not like I go and help these people for free."
"Flying in space is like a lot of things. You never really get used to it, you just learn to deal with it better." he said somberly. Since he was infront of her, he couldnt see her eyes water, "When you've had enough, just say so." he added after a pause, changing course so they loop around the station, guessing she wouldnt be ready to return quite so soon.
-
"Yes i guess so..i dont think i could ever learn to deal with this in a calmer manner.." she looked back at the stars around them, tears spilling over her cheeks silently as the sight caught her offguard again "I dont believe i could ever have enough of this view..i could sit here and watch the years go by and never loose interest..." she wiped the tears away and laughed again her voice more certain than before "I cant believe i've managed to live my whole life without looking out the window...is that bad?" she asked a slight frown forming on her face.
-
"Some people are too busy to stop and look, and really appreciate the beauty all around them. What I do for a living is more than just a living, its almost a vacation; go to new places, see life forms few on Libra have likely seen, even over the net." he said, leaning back in his seat, "And always surrounded by the endlessness of space." he added and sighed.
"Then again, there are some people that look out to the stars and see power, or profit. Its better to never star gaze than to see personal gain."
-
"Whats that supposed to mean ved?" she narrowed her eyes at him and crossed her arms "It must be nice to live life like its a holiday.." she looked out the window and sighed to herself her ears folded back slightly "You can take me home now if you want" she spoke in a colder more quiet voice, irritation starting to boil the blood in her veins.
Hmm..is he suggesting that im too busy to look at the world around me, or that it was better that i didnt because i might of seen my own personal gain..maybey im just taking it the wrong way...whatever.. she thaught to herself, her jaws clenching together absentmindedly.
-
"It doesnt mean anything, really. You've never looked out a window, and that is neither a good thing, or a bad thing. I said 'some people', not all people." He said, a bit defensively, but tilted towards the dock, "Some would say I look out the window too much." he added quietly
-
Luci smiled slightly and uncrossed her arms, her ears perking forward fast enough to catch his last sentance "What do you mean look out the window too much?" she paused for a moment thinking about what it could mean before deciding to change the subject "So do you get lonely? when your out in space? if i had to spend so many hours on my own i'd get sooo' bored!" she looked at her home and sighed again unhappy that she had spent all of her life there.
-
Vedrit didnt respond. In part, she was right. Sometimes he did get lonely. He had often thought about getting a partner, to fill in the back seat, but he had never bothered to go through with it. Too many requirements, he would say to himself.
Vedrit flipped a switch, and the engies went silent, allowing the two to drift along, and silence filled the gaps
-
Luci tilted her head to the side as the engines died out "Ved? are you ok?" she reached her hand forward and tapped his sholder lightly "has something gone wrong on the ship?" she frowned slightly worried about they're current possition.
This isn't how i imagined the trip... she thaught to herself her ears folding back slightly.
-
"Yeah no everythings alright." he said, "You want to get some faux-solid ground under your feet?" flipping the switch to its origional position and the engines humming back to life.
'Jeez,' he thought to himself 'Am I in a mood now....'
-
"Im not to bothered unless you want to go back, either way" she smiled at ved happily before letting it drop realising he couldn't see her anyway "i hope you know that i can tell everythings not alright...is it somthing i said?" she bit her lip thinking back everything she had said "you know i don't mean to be mean to people...it just comes out, i dont have too good people skills i guess" she looked down at her hands and began to twiddle her thumbs "You don't seem the type to open up to people much..and i know im still a stranger to you but i'll listen if you need an ear, i know it helps me when i get things of my chest..." she trailed off running out of things to say and looked at ved waiting for his reaction.
-
"Its not something you said, not directly, anyway." he said, stopping the ship a few meters from the dock, "Im in a peculiar mood." he mumbled, "Besides, theres not much to say. What I've told you about my life is about it, nothing more, nothing less."
Taking a deep breath, Vedrit added "I dont have to be in space to feel lonely. Just the opposite, even. I take some comfort in that the stars, as beautiful as they are, are lonely when you get to them."
-
"oh..im sorry..i really know how to put my foot in it dont i.." she laughed halfheartedly to herself before sighing "Dyou' wanna' talk about it? you sound upset.." she tilted her head to the side and began fiddling with the harness Damn this contraption! what if i had to get out of here quick...boom! i would be history she pulled a face and let her hands drop into her lap, giving up with trying to free herself.
-
Vedrit leaned back with a sigh "Like I said, theres not much to talk about." and leaned forward, "Flight control, this is Starhawk requesting docking clearance." he radioed
"Starhawk, we confirm your access. Welcome to Libra." and Vedrit, without a further word, guided the ship into the docking bay.
-
"Thanks for showing me the stars...i really enjoyed myself" she turned her head away from him and looked out the window "Up until i fucked it all up with my stupid attitude..." she added before pressing her lips into a thin line, irritation rising up again.
Well done luci...you have successfully failed again..
-
"Dont worry about it." he said, setting the ship down and turning in his seat, placing a hand on her knee, "Everything is alright." and smiled.
Tapping a few buttons on the console, the cockpit opened, the engines quieted, and lights went out. With the ship shut down, Vedrit unharnessed himself, then started to unharness Luci. Just as he finished he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, and jumped down before she could react
-
Luci looked back at ved and smiled, happy that he was smiling "Ok.." she looked out the window at the familiar place that was her home and sighed contently; glad that she had ground under her feet.
"Thank you" she spoke in a soft voice as he undid her harness, her body stiffened noticeably as he kissed her cheek and her eyes widened a blush quickly covered her face matching her hair, her mouth hung open slightly in shock as her brain tryed to register what had just happened "w-wha?" she blinked quickly and shook her head before quickly hopping out of the ship "ved...were did that come from?" she tilted her head to the side her blush still evident on her cheeks.
-
Vedrit shrugged, "Same place the invite to space came from, I suppose." I hope I didnt embarrass you too much.", smiling softly, knowing he was blushing, probably as strongly as she was too.
"So, what are your plans for the rest of the day?" he asked, changing the subject to something less embarrassing. Not that he had anything in mind, because he really had nothing to do. Nothing to do had quickly become the norm for him
-
"No no..you didnt embarrass me much.." she giggled lightly to herself her tail swishing from side to side slowly.
"Nothing really...i finnished my main jobs yesterday so im pretty much free, why'd you ask?" she smiled at him her ears perked forward hmm i wonder if he remembers his offer on dinner.. her smile widened to a grin at the thaught.
-
"Well, I do owe you dinner." he said, "and we could always..uh..." Vedrit stopped, not sure what to say. Complete loss for words.
((Sorry its so short))
-
"Yes, that you do" she giggled lightly to herself and tilted her head to the side "We could always what?" luci pushed, her eyes sparkling with excitement; she wanted to know exactly what he was going to suggest i wonder what hes thinking..
(same =S )
-
"I dont know" he said with a shrug, "Besides, its a few hours till dinner. What do you want to do?" he asked. Unless Luci wanted to eat again so soon, There wasnt anything in particular that he wanted to do. They had already flown, and that was about the only thing Ved did.
Though, there is going to one or the others quarters. Vedrit had rented out a little place on the residential deck, for the sake of having someplace to rest. Luci probably had better housing arrangements than he did
-
"Ohh! call me childish but lets go somewere and play 20 questions!" she grinned and jumped up and down on the spot "sorry i like to know what people do and don't like, and it might help me not to put my big ass foot in it and say somthing offensive" she laughed lightly to herself "D'you wanna go to mine or yours? unless you know somewere else we could go? nothing has really come to mind yet for me" she rubbed the back of her head and gave ved the 'im having a slow day' sort of look.
-
Vedrit raised and eyebrow, "That excited?" and sighed, "Uh, lets go to your place." he said, not really excited about 20 questions. That was 19 too many for his comfort, but neh, what can ya do?
"Lead the way." he motioned for her to lead, "My place isnt exaclty suitable for visitors."
-
Luci poked her tongue out at ved and grabbed his arm lightly before skipping in the direction of her living quaters "You know you'll get wrinkles if you dont smile! i heard that smiling lowers your blood pressure" she looked down at the floor for a moment her face reddening slightly at a thaught entered her mind though it doesnt matter with men since the blood will all go to one place eventually... she let a small giggle pass through her lips before looking back at ved "D'you think that me as a machanic will have a more suitable place for visitors? i mean its not bad but it could be better" she grinned and took her keypass out of her back pocket as she reached her door number, she quickly swiped it through the slot; hearing a satisfying click as the door unlocked.
"Welcome to my umm...pit?" she let go of his arm and walked into a relatively large living room with white and teal walls, black carpet with teal and black curtains and 2 large white leather sofa's "What do you think? i wanted all the colours to match up yanno' and make a nice old modern look!" she quickly darted around the room picking up random items of clothing before running to another door and opening it quickly; throwing the clothes in and concealing them behind the door "Its not as bad as it was a few weeks ago but its not exactly clean..." she gave an embarrased giggle and walked back to the living room.
-
"I smile. I smiled a lot when we were flying. You just didnt see it." He said as she tugged him along, "Whether your place is a mess or not doesnt matter. I barely fit in my quarters."
Unsure of what to do, Vedrit just stood in the door way, watching Luci dart from place to place, picking up this and that, hands in his pockets.
-
Luci rolled her eyes at ved hanging in the door way and motioned for him to come in "Come in! come in! you know i dont bite" she grinned at him before adding quietly to herself "yet..." she walked over to the door and pulled him in gently before closing it securly and walking away "D'you want anything to drink? tea, coffee, a beer? or mabey some soda?" she smiled at him and walked into her kitchen; with its red cupboards, black marble worktops, white walls and white tiles it stayed with the old modern look. She sauntered over to the fridge and took a can of relentless out and placed it on the worktop.
-
Ved shook his head "Im good, thanks." and walked to the kitchen wall and leaned on it, looking around, "In a way, it suits you." he commented. The style was rather uncommon in Libra, atleast so thought Vedrit, adn Luci was...well...uncomm on. Though there seemed to be a lot of uncommon people on Libra, Luci seemed to enjoy being surrounded by the uncommon. Just look at who was leaning on her kitchen wall for proof.
-
"Ok" she opened her can and took a sip of relentless her ears perking forwards slightly "Thats a good thing right?" she tilted her head to the side and smiled "C'mon lets sit down" she walked back into the living room and sat on one of the sofa's motioning for ved to follow "You know if you dont want to play you dont have to, we could do somthing else if you'd like?" she took another sip and kicked off her trainers, relaxing back on the sofa.
-
"Yeah, I guess." he said, sitting next to Luci, "What else would we do?", naughty thoughts suddenly filling his mind.
Not like he could help it. They were alone, she was cute, and they were sitting close to eachother.
-
Luci giggled to herself as she read his expression, a light blush crossing her cheeks "Well uhh.." she smiled as a thaught entered her mind hmm..i need to pay him back "I've got a question..see theres this friend of mine..she needs to pay a guy back with a kiss but she doesnt know if she should cause shes unsure of his reaction..what do you think she should do?" she leaned forward slightly and looked at ved waiting for his reaction.
-
Vedrit raised an eyebrow, knowing full well that there wasnt a friend. Not that he minded.
"Depends. If he took her flying, and promised dinner, and were alone together, she should go for it, without warning. That guy might like the adventure." he answered, playing along, and leaning a bit closer to her, "If she doesnt, he might do it for her."
-
Luci's smile widened and a light blush crossed her cheeks as she listened to him "Well shes not very shy..so i guess she will pay him back then.." she giggled lightly to herself before closing the gap between ved and herself and kissing him.
wow..his lips are so soft..this isn't how i imagined a kiss to feel like.. she thaught to herself butterflys fluttering around in her stomach.
-
Vedrit was thinking much the same about her, though instead of butterflys, Vedrits heart was racing.
Gently placing a hand on Luci's neck, he deepened the kiss. It would be a lie to say he wasnt enjoying it.
His mind already jumping to conclusions, he wondered, in the background of his mind, what Luci would do while he did his escorting missions.
-
Luci smiled into the kiss and placed her hand delicately on veds cheek, her tail wagging behind her and creating a steady *thump* *thump* *thump* against the sofa. I wonder what hes thinking...must be weird to kiss a girl with ears and a tail, exspecially one that you've only just met.. she thaught to herself her ears flickering back and fourth as she listened to his racing heart.
-
What exactly was going through his mind, at the forefront of his mind, was "How far are we going to go?", and Vedrit didnt mind the non-human ears and tail; they were actualy something of a fetish. Call him what you will.
"So, what now?" he whispered, breaking the kiss
-
Luci looked carefully at ved, a blush very evident on her cheeks "I uhh.." she blinked furiously for a moment trying to unscramble her mind and put together a proper sentance "I don't know..im still in uhh..shock.." she laughed quietly to herself as she realised how stupid she sounded "You'll probably think im a total weirdo but that was the first time i've ever kissed a guy before.." her blush darkened as she revealed her small secret; instantly wishing she could take back her words since they were so stupid.
-
Vedrit gently kissed her again "Its not wierd. This is the first time I've kissed a girl." he said, trying to ease her embarrasment. He was fine telling her, considering what they were doing.
His "other brain" knew exactly what they should do, even if Ved thought it was too soon
-
Luci smiled at ved, her blush fading slightly "Really? oh thank buddha, i was worried you would tease me about it like other people would!" her smile widened to a grin as she hugged ved softly, enjoying that she was close to someone for the first time in a while.
This is the first time i've hugged anyone in a few years..i almost forgot what it felt like.. she thaught to herself before burying her face into the crook of his neck.
-
In a warm embrace, Ved wrapped his arms around her, gently holding her against him, lightly resting his head on hers. He couldnt remember the last time he had hugged someone, and it felt nice.
After a long pause of silence, Vedrit whispered "Any other first-time things you'd like to do?"
-
Luci's body stiffened up noticable as she registered what ved had whispered, her blush returned quickly and her eyes widened. She opened and closed her mouth a few times trying to say somthing but failing each time, she had somthing at the back of her mind that she hadn't done but she was possitive she didn't want to do it any time soon "V-ved..i...your not suggesting what i think your suggesting right?" she spoke in a quiet, chocked voice, her ears pinned back to her head as she began to feel increasingly uncomfortable.
-
Vedrit picked up on the cue "No, I wasnt suggesting anything. I was just asking, like if you wanted to...ummm..." he couldnt think of anything, not that he knew what Luci has or hasnt done, "I dont know." he said, completely sure he had ruined the moment.
-
Luci let out a sigh of relief and smiled slightly, her ears perking forward again "Good.." she pulled away from him slightly and gave him a quick kiss, her tail begginning to wag. "I have another question..and you can't say somthing like theres nothing much to tell ok? what is your past like? were are your family? do you have any siblings? dont hold back okay?" she smiled almost pleadingly at ved her ears relaxing back.
