[ Her master chef boyfriend is at it again with his incredible cooking skills and Yoimiya couldn't be any more excited to try this new dish! ]
Oooh, I'm excited! I've never felt so spoiled in my whole life. While you do that, allow me to freshen up real quick. I'll be baaaack~!
[ "Freshen up" AKA it's time for Ajax's present! Giggling like a mischievous child, Yoimiya takes off running to her bedroom. As he's finishing the preparations for their breakfast, he'll be able to catch the sounds of a few loud CRASHES, BANGS and the distinguishable noise of her footsteps tromping across the floor, carrying something heavy, complete with her going back to bring out another heavy object.
Upon his arrival, she's made sure that he'll spot a large black guitar case with a big red bow tied around the neck. Inside is a black and white electric guitar, right next to the case is a smaller box complete with the necessary parts such as cables, picks, extra strings, and a tuner. There are two more bigger boxes for him to open as well, the bulkier of the two boxes containing an amp while the tall box has a stand. Sitting on the guitar case is a Christmas card with this sweet message: ]
My Beloved Ajax,
Merry Christmas! Back home in Inazuma, we don't really celebrate this holiday but I'm beyond happy that I get to spend my first Christmas with you. ♥
Looking forward to seeing you rock out there! Once you put your mind to something, you can accomplish anything and I just know you're going to be an amazing guitarist. Hope you like the guitar I picked out! Once we move out to our new home, we can set up a room for your jam out sessions and before we know it, I can already picture you performing at an Arts Festival like the one Ayaka held a few months ago.
Thank you for everything. I love you so much.
Forever yours, Yoimiya
[ After making all of that racket, Yoimiya is just casually sitting at the table like it's no big deal as she awaits her sweetheart's arrival. ]
[He doesn't even get a word in edgewise before she's off and running. Laughing at his girlfriend's endless amount of energy, he turns back towards his task of finishing up breakfast as she takes care of whatever it is she's really doing back in her bedroom. It's not too much longer before he's finished, plating up Yoimiya's food first when he hears a ruckus outside of the kitchen. She hasn't cried out for help, so he assumes she's okay, but whatever it is she's doing sounds like it's big and heavy. Now he wonders what on earth she could be doing out there...
Walking out to her dining room table, he sports a plate of blini along with a small bowl of tvarog topped with blueberries and strawberries to start, having left the rest in the kitchen to bring out, but he stops right before he gets close enough to set the dishes down to see the gifts waiting for him. Tartaglia turns his gaze over to Yoimiya, a small, surprised smile on his face after seeing the guitar case. He quickly sets the dishes down in front of her and goes over to open the boxes first to find the amp and the stand, and then the box with all the accessories. He looks like a little kid who gets to open the biggest boxes on Christmas morning, excited as he peels each one open to reveal the contents.]
You really thought of everything here...
[Looking back at her with wide eyes and a giant grin on his face, he goes over to the guitar case to take the card, opening it and reading the entire card out loud.]
...Forever yours, Yoimiya. Hahaha, goodness, this is quite unexpected. What a thoughtful and wonderful gift, thank you. I'll make sure to practice every day, and maybe I'll be able to play something for you.
[Closing the card, he opens the case first to reveal the guitar she's picked out, which he picks up and slings over his shoulder as he lets his fingernail glide over the strings before picking a few of them, letting the metallic sound ring out. Out of tune for now, but that's fine, because it feels good under his fingertips.]
Not bad.
[Putting it back down, he walks over to her, chuckling as he slots his lips with hers to give her a loving, appreciative kiss. As he breaks, he takes a look back at his gift before bringing his gaze back to her, the look on his face so excited and happy- so much so that he's forgotten about his own food and the rest of what he was going to bring out for the two of them.]
[ As always, his breakfast looks so mouthwatering delicious. This is the first time he's made them for her and she's already salivating at the fluffy-looking tvarog decorated with fruit, ready to sink her teeth into the soft blini, there's no doubt she's going to be leaving this table happy and full by the time they finish eating.
Not only is her tummy going to be full, but so is her heart. She's filled with joy watching Ajax open his presents like an excited kid eager to see what gift Santa got him, it's as if his childlike wonder that got snatched away from his time at the Abyss has been brought back, even if for a moment. She can't stop smiling as he reads every word of her card all until he makes her Christmas morning even more special by capturing her lips for a breathtaking kiss. His affection is the best present anyone could ask for. ]
You're welcome! Hopefully, I got everything you need to make it work. [ For someone who doesn't know much about musical instruments, it blew her mind how much equipment is needed. ] If there's ever anything else you need or you want to upgrade, just say the word and we can go back to the shop! I think you'll have lots of fun looking around.
[ The shop was so fascinating!! She just felt like a fish out of water looking around... ]
I'll be looking forward to hearing you play a song. Hehe, I can't wait to brag to the world that my boyfriend is not only handsome, strong, cool, and an incredible chef but he can play the guitar like a rockstar.
[She sure does know how to build on a guy's ego, his chest puffing up just slightly before he breathes out a laugh, reaching over to ruffle her hair a little at all the compliments.]
Well, let's not jump ahead too far, now. All things take diligent practice and dedication to get to that level, but I'm sure one day I'll be able to make you proud of my skills.
[With that being said, he disappears back into the kitchen to bring out his own food, and the remaining container of jam and sour cream for their breakfast. He sets them down on the table before fetching the cups of tea he'd also prepared, taking his own seat when he returns, and giving Yoimiya her tea before sipping the hot liquid.]
Ah, marvelous...I do hope you enjoy the breakfast. The pancakes are called blini, and it's a favorite of Teucer's whenever I'm home to cook for the family. The other dish here is called tvarog. I'm not sure what I could compare it to, so I'll let you try it and decide for yourself.
[ Yoimiya is half tempted to check his temperature to make sure he hasn't caught a bug. Is he okay? He's being (gasp) humble. But she manages to hold herself back. Ajax has been incredibly sweet and definitely not on the naughty list (for now), so she'll cut him some slack. Gonna just be proud of him on the inside, hehe.
He continues to be sweet, not only cooking breakfast but bringing tea to her as well. She's licking her lips at the feast, excited to try the new dishes. Not holding back, she scoops a dollop of jam and sour cream before digging into the blini. ]
Mm... delicious! No wonder why Tecuer likes it so much. [ NOM NOM. She's nomming away like a little hamster. NOM NOM. ] So delightfully soft.
[ Of course, she has to try the tvarog too. She scoops up a bite and oh...! It's practically melting on her tongue. ]
Sooo yummy~! I've never had anything like this before. The strawberries and blueberries pair so well with the cheese. [ NOMS INTENSIFY ] Goodness Ajax, you sure know how to spoil a girl on Christmas morning.
[He watches her between bites of his own food as she tries it, delighted that she likes it and taking her praise as proof that he did alright with making breakfast this morning. Naturally, he loves hearing how much she thinks it's great, proudly eating his own breakfast as if she's just confirmed he's an amazing chef.]
It seems only fitting that the girl of my dreams receives the most fitting of feasts on such a special day. Haha, but I'm glad you're enjoying it, I had hoped you'd like more food from the motherland, since you've been very receptive to it so far.
[Taking another sip of his tea, he savors the flavor of it, letting himself be reminded of home from all the scents of the breakfast he's prepared. He'd of loved to take her around Snezhnaya on such an occasion, but unfortunately they probably wouldn't go home for a while.]
By the way, was there anything you wanted to do today? Honestly, I didn't have anything planned at all.
[ Not only is the food delightful, so are his oh-so-sweet words, the cherry on top of this perfect Christmas morning with her beloved. The girl of his dreams... that sentence alone has her heart fluttering, a hue of pink dusts her smiling cheeks. As delicious as breakfast is, Ajax is still the sweetest, every day spent with him has been even more wonderful than any fairytale romance novel. ]
Would it be all right if we went out to the city to look at the Christmas lights? They're so beautiful and I've been dying to see them up close.
[ Between moving preparations, gifts, setting up their party, she hasn't had much time to go sightseeing. ]
And if it's okay with you, I'd like to get ideas on decorating our new cabin with lights! Hehe, we might be new to the area but we gotta show off our might and prove ourselves to be even more festive than any of our neighbors.
[ NOT YOIMIYA TRYING TO START A LIGHT COMPETITION IN FROSTREIGN. ]
[He sets back in his chair with amusement, imagining Yoimiya scoping out the competition and trying to one-up the rest of the people living around them. He doesn't care quite as much about beating their neighbors in a light competition, in fact he wonders if anyone will take her bait at all and try to up the ante on their own lights, but if it makes her happy he'll definitely help out.]
Starting an all out war of lights with everyone? Not the kind of battle I thought I'd be getting into, but if that's what you'd like then I don't see why not. Besides, I've been interested in these Christmas light decorations myself. I've heard there's entire neighborhoods in the city that like to compete with each other to see who's house can be the most impressive, which really ends up in being a good show for us.
[He ponders if anywhere would be open to get a nice dinner at, but probably not...they'll have to make their own dinner tonight.]
How about I make a nice dinner for us as well, and afterward we can head out and get a glimpse of everyone's lights for the night. What do you say?
[ Yay! She's thrilled he seems to be on board with her silly competition. Even if the neighbors don't care enough, it's still a victory in her eyes since that just means she asserted her dominance with bright, flashy lights. Win/win. ]
I'll never say no to your cooking. This time, let me help you out! I've been wanting to learn how to cook Snezhnayan dishes.
[ Not only is he spoiling her, but she's positively excited about getting out to see the holiday sights. She's rubbing her hands, already forming a strategy on how to one-up their neighbors. ]
Let's do it! The whole city of Nightwake has been completely decked out for the festivities, so I'm sure we'll get some great ideas for the house. If I was with anyone else, I'd say we better watch out for those roaming mistletoes that've been running amuck buuut I got the only person that I want to kiss by my side, hehe.
[ So as far as she's concerned, those plants can come at them all they want. >:D ]
[He's already picking out what traditional dishes he'd teach her later tonight in his head, something not terribly complicated yet is a staple back home. It warms his heart that Yoimiya wants to learn how to make Snezhnayan food, as it's one of the only things here that can soothe his homesickness. But she brings up another interesting point about going out tonight, silently laughing at how ridiculous it is.
What a wild place they live in where plants can force people to kiss each other like that. But by now, he's at least used to all the strange happenings of this world where something as harmless as magic mistletoe seems like the least of their worries.]
You sound as if you wouldn't mind if we got caught by a mistletoe or two. I hope you don't have any ulterior motives by suggesting that we go out during such a dangerous time.
[The wink he shoots her says everything- they would absolutely be menaces if given the chance and they'd enjoy every second of it.]
[ Giggling to herself like a mischievous child, she scoops up another portion of the tvarog, savoring its flavor as the cheese melts on her tongue. In truth, the "dangerous" mistletoes did just occur to her, she truly has not been forming any nefarious plots... until now that is. She grins at the wink he shoots her, fully understanding the implication of his cheeky expression; he's gonna take joy in making their relationship everyone's problem and Yoimiya is absolutely here for it. ]
Haha, as if you have any room to talk, mister! I see that wink that's totally up to no good. But you're right, I wouldn't mind getting caught by those mistletoes with you...
[ Dark flames of evergrowing obsession burn behind her golden eyes. It's just a harmless plant, it's silly to get jealous over an occurrence no one can control, she knows this, and yet... the flower of corruption that blossoms so deeply within her heart pushes out any logic. ]
And if you don't mind, I'd like to continue staking my claim onto you. Your jealous little pavlin isn't going to take kindly to anyone who thinks they can steal a kiss from you.
[Called out, just like that, she's right that he's up to no good. Ajax's eyes flash with intrigue at the ever-burning jealousy and obsession in her eyes, his smile growing ever-so-slightly more wicked, their topic of conversation turning his heart into something more black than it used to be. The power of the abyss happily influences his already twisted mind, staring directly back into her eyes, unknowingly licking his lips as his imagination runs wild with all the terrible and fun images dancing through it.]
By all means. I hope you don't mind in turn if I sink my claws and teeth deeper into you as well, as I won't tolerate even the slightest notion of anyone even looking at you in a way I don't like.
[Tartaglia's hand reaches from his side of the table to let a solitary finger brush against her cheek, unaware of the gravity of the statement he's just made- all he cares about is having Yoimiya all to himself, and letting her own him in the same way that he feels he owns her.]
My precious, gorgeous pavlin, those feathers are all for me to drink in, and no one else. I love you so much Yoimiya, have I ever told you that?
[ Oh... just that single, solitary finger is exquisite, inciting her greedy need that craves more of his warmth. Her slender hand comes up to cup his, brushing over his knuckles with her fingers. Soft noises spill out of her lips as she nuzzles into his palm, placing a trail of kisses from his fingertips down to his wrist. She's over the moon to hear his proclamation, overjoyed to be his and his alone, Ajax is all she needs to be happy. ]
Mm... yes, please do. Always and forever, I belong to you and no one else. I'm willing to let you sink your claws and teeth into every inch of my skin as the entire world watches on.
[ She stares at him, eyes filled with a maddening love for her one and only. A serene smile laced with a hint of wickedness graces her features, very much looking forward to all of the terrible ways to show off their love to the world. ]
Pretty sure you have, hehe. And I'll never get tired of you saying it. I love you too, Ajax. I love you so much. You're my whole world, you have my heart, soul, and body for all of eternity.
[There's a twisted, satisfied love that brews inside of him as she nuzzles into his palm, her kisses like fresh dew on his skin. This complete dedication they have, it feels right, as if any other way of showing their love is a betrayal. His darkened mind requires her to give her entire body and soul to him, and in turn he'll reciprocate her love a hundred fold, thoughts swirling in an ever-growing abyss that consumes himself and Yoimiya.]
I'm elated to hear you say that. Your unwavering dedication has me practically on cloud nine, and in turn, my sword is yours to command until I breathe my last breath.
[Ajax takes her hand, kissing the back of it like a knight would honor his princess, his eyelashes fluttering as he looks up at her from beneath them.]
May your golden aura never dull, and the bloodstains of battle be ever-present on your garb for the world to know and fear. As the goddess of my heart, I dedicate my being to you and I'll use my strength to lift up you and your name as we conquer the world. But first...
[Even as he bathes in the corruption of his own mind, he hasn't forgotten their plans.]
...maybe we should conquer some Christmas lights. As they say, the city streets are a battlefield of bright sights and sounds, and it seems like a good place to start. Why don't we have a little fun between now and when we head out? I'd like to give you a few more...presents.
[ Till her dying breath, Ajax's love and devotion are all she desires to be the happiest girl alive. The kiss to her hand draws out a satisfied sigh from her, the press of his lips sweeter and softer than the finest lavender melon. He's her dedicated knight and together, they'll be able to conquer anything as long as they have each other, she won't even allow the most dazzling fireworks to stand in the way of their love.
Every breath she takes, every resonating sound of her heart thrumming in her chest, Ajax has her fully in his grips, claiming her down to every blonde strand of her hair and she's happy, so utterly happy to be all his. As they sit in the corner of her apartment, lost in their own corrupted world, his words resonate with her. He's so devoted and caring, sometimes he's far more dedicated than what she deserves. So kind, so wonderful... another reminder that she'll do everything to protect his smile and that she'll never allow anyone to take him away from her.
But for now, she'll focus her corrupt mind on sightseeing with her beloved. After all, it's more fun to cause chaos together with him. ]
First Christmas lights, then the world! All the mayhem we'll cause will be a stepping stone in our path towards absolute victory.
[ Oh? Her grin widens at the implication of his... "presents", already loving the direction this is heading. ]
Ooh, you have more... [ Oh, she's absolutely giggling. ] presents in mind? You're too kind to me, Ajax. You sure know how to spoil a girl. I'll be sure to return them in full. After all, my perfect knight deserves nothing but the best reward.
[He loves how she melts beneath his touch, spoiled by her beauty and dazzled by her charm, happy that he can call her his, that they can spend time like this together and he is free to be himself with her. Ajax will make sure to cherish that gorgeous smile of hers, and take care of her until his dying breath, determined to be the knight he thinks of himself as who will protect her and keep her from any harm for as long as he lives. For one who is willing to walk the same path as him is one that is worthy of his complete devotion- and only Yoimiya seems to be capable of filling that space in his heart.
So he'll continue to finish up his meal that he cooked, adding some more sour cream to his blini before polishing it all off.]
Mmmmmm, I was kind of hoping you'd say that...
[Delicious, both his meal and Yoimiya, and he can't wait to savor her once he's done savoring this food he's made.]
But there's no need to rush. We can enjoy this meal for a bit longer, and afterwards we can decide when you'd like the rest of your gifts.
[ Likewise, more sour cream is added to the blini as she chews on the soft delicacy in thought. Without any shame, she keeps her lips anchored to the spoon, slowly drawing it out of her mouth while deliberately fluttering her lashes against her golden eyes staring suggestively at him. Knowing exactly what she did, her lips curve into a grin, bringing the utensil down to tap the rim of her bowl after swallowing down said bite. Let's be real, Yoimiya is a gal who knows exactly what she wants and it's not long until her heart is set on a decision. ]
Yes! Let's eat up everything before heading out. Your breakfast is so delicious and I want to be sure I savor every last bite.
[ She keeps her stare locked onto him, licking her lips like the hungry little pavlin she is. ]
Buuut, you already know I'm quite greedy. If you don't mind spoiling me even more, I think I'm craving... dessert after our breakfast. [ She scoops up a spoonful of blini, holding it out towards his mouth. ] Ahhh~?
[Tartaglia's eyes lock onto her, watching the spoon slowly get pulled outward as she flutters her lashes at him, and he can feel himself stir beneath his waist with anticipation. He shifts in his seat at the simple gesture that's already managed to bring a level of heat between his legs, smirking back at her as if there's more than just dessert waiting for her. She really does know exactly what she's doing, revving him up and teasing him in preparation for what they'll do in a few more minutes.
Her stare keeps him focused on her, feeling his mouth dry a little as she licks her lips, imagining where those lips would be soon enough and how badly he is starting to need them to do terrible and incredible things to him.]
Mmmmm...
[He hums thoughtfully, leaning over to let her feed him the bit of breakfast, doing the exact same thing back to her as his eyelashes flutter shut, cupping the bottom of her hand with his own. He slowly drags his lips over the metal as he eats the food off of it, the spoon coming out with a tiny pop, making a deliberate effort to swallow it before he opens his eyes again. A swirling, dark need brews in his eyes, his smirk almost evil as he gazes back into her eyes.]
A nice treat sounds like just the thing we deserve. You've been more than thoughtful and giving today, so I'll do more than just spoil you. I'll give you everything you could crave for, just allow me in and I'll make it worth your while.
[Though he's not sure if he's going to finish his breakfast at this rate, greed surging through him, a dark force telling him that sinking into Yoimiya would satisfy his hunger.]
We could always finish this up later, if you'd like your dessert now.
[ Maybe Yoimiya should consider honing her fishing skills because she just caught an Ajax hook, line, and sinker. A devilish smirk curves at the corners of her soft lips, she might have the face of an angel but behind her cute features is a myriad of dark, impure desires brewing in her decadent mind. Oh, how she can't wait to taste every inch of his skin and have her pretty little mouth wrapped around him as she indulges in his wonderful essence. It'll be the best treat anyone could ask for.
But then, he manages to catch his own Yoimiya fish in turn. Her stare is glued onto him, swallowing hard as she watches his tantalizing mouth drag across the rim of her spoon. That delightful pop draws a greedy need that forms in the pit of her stomach and then straight to her thighs. Her small hand reaches up to cup his, gently stroking his skin with her thumb as she imagines his lips all over her body, all the incredible acts his mouth has done for her time and time again. ]
Mm... yeah, my insatiable appetite can't be contained. I think I want my dessert right now.
[ Yup, she's a thirsty gal and certainly not for food. Not wasting any time, she quickly gets up out of her chair, holding out her hand to Ajax. ]
Although, before we get started. Maybe we should put up the food first.
[The second her hand comes up to gently brush his own, he knows he's gotten her, that whatever thoughts she was having before that weren't about climbing in bed with him were finally erased for the most part. Not that he's in any better shape either, barely even caring about the food at this point until she brings it up. Entranced and completely seduced by her, he feels his head fog up with thoughts of her on the bed, how he'd extract those familiar and delicious cries out of her, give her everything she wants and desires...]
...oh, right. I suppose we could put it away in case we take a little longer than expected, huh?
[Taking her hand, he stands to immediately pull her into a deep, ardorous kiss. His tongue wastes no time slipping inside of her mouth for a few moments as he presses not only himself against her, but also pressing his will into her as well- he needs her more than anything else, and he wants her to feel it, to know that he needs to taste her skin against his own.
Tartaglia releases their kiss slowly, managing to wink at her despite how breathless he is, gazing deeply into her eyes as he speaks.]
How about I take care of it, and you wait for me in the bedroom. I promise I'll be quick.
TIME SKIPPING BC I HATE THESE TWO AND THEIR HORNY BUTTS SO MUCH
[ If she hadn't said it herself, Yoimiya would have forgotten about the food the moment he pulled her into that deep, luscious kiss that sets every nerve of her body on fire. She moans into the kiss, pressing her body against him to drown herself in his heat, she's so delighted to feel his deep-seated need aching for her. Never before has she felt so wanted and desired by anyone in her life and she's happy that it's Ajax who gets to have her all to himself. Once they pull away from the kiss, she sees stars, lightly panting while gazing into his beautiful eyes. ]
All right, I'll be waiting for you. Don't worry, I know you to be zip-zappy, hehe.
[ Giggling, she circles a finger around his chest, dragging it down until it stops right at the waistband of his pants. Shooting him one last wink, she departs to the bedroom with a skip in her step... and deliberately wiggling her cute, round butt at him. They're in for a great time. ]
---
[ Eventually, after they take care of their... ahem "business", the two of them head out to enjoy the festive scenery. As expected of this high-tech world, the lights strewn about the city are dazzling. Hand-in-hand with Ajax, Yoimiya's heart races with each step, it's as if they are mini fireworks lighting the way to bless the residents on this magical holiday. It had been a joyful adventure, getting caught by a roaming mistletoe had been one of the highlights along with other... fun, affectionate chaos the two of them happily indulged themselves in (deep sigh) but soon, it starts to get late and it's time for them to go back home. ]
Thank you for taking me out! Nightwake really knows how to go all out for Christmas, the lights were stunning and we had so much... fun, hehe. [ If you know, you know. ] We should go out again during New Years.
[ In her hands is the wedding charm bestowed to them. Pink dusts her cheeks as she recalls the events that took place, an overly eager shop owner promoting their store happened to catch the pair the pair out and about, mistaking their lovey-dovey aura as a couple making plans to get hitched. ]
It's a little funny we were confused for a married couple. Do we really give off that kind of vibe?
[He's never seen anything like it, all the lights strewn about on people's houses with all the different snowy, Christmas decorations they put on and around their houses. It's his first Christmas ever, and he loves every second of it. It's too bad Snezhnaya doesn't celebrate it, it would be beautiful against the backdrop of his homeland. He doesn't even mind getting caught by the magical mistletoe, because both he and Yoimiya took advantage of it more than it took advantage of them, probably much to the dismay of anyone who happened to be around them at the time.
Childe stretches his arms out as they walk back into the apartment, yawning after their exciting evening.]
I guess we just seem like a natural fit for each other, [he says, grinning as he takes his shoes off to go and plop down on the couch.]
I don't disagree with their assessment, would you?
[His eyes seem to brighten, wondering what she'd say to that. It'll help him with future decisions...ones he's not bringing up to her right now.]
[ Following suit, Yoimiya slips out of her boots and coat to join her sweetheart on the couch. Getting nice and cozy, she snuggles up next to him, taking delight in his warmth by nuzzling her face into his arm. ]
Mm... not at all. I think their assessment is pretty spot on.
[ After getting a good feel for his warmth she gives his biceps a gentle squeeze just before looking up at him with a grin to match his own.
Realistically, Yoimiya knows what she's about to say is too soon but she's never been more sure of anything else in her entire life. Never before has she felt so deeply connected to someone in every sense, a connection that's only gotten stronger over time, and now, she's confident nothing will ever break their bond. She might be a naive, young woman in love but she knows what her heart wants. ]
I love everything about you, Ajax. Every day, I'm thankful to the stars that we were able to cross paths during that fateful day in Chinju Forest. From the bottom of my heart, I feel like I've found the love of my life, my one and only, my soulmate.
[Tartaglia shifts just so as she nuzzles into his arm and snuggles against him, so it's a bit more comfortable for them both. Now that they're both comfortable on the couch next to each other, he sinks into her own warmth, cozy and relaxed with her against him, feeling at home and at peace with his darling Yoimiya curled up next to him. His eyes soften at her words, slipping his arm behind her to pull her further into him, tugging lightly at her waist as he leans over to press a gentle kiss to her lips. His free hand brushes her cheek, admiring every perfectly created curve of her face, savoring the touch of her soft skin against his own.]
...I feel the same. I feel complete now that I have you by my side, my quest to conquer the world now given more meaning, and my heart aches to give you everything this world has to offer. You're everything I could of dreamed of, Yoimiya. I love you from the very core of my being, and I'd like nothing better than to spend the rest of my days with you.
[His eyes meet her own, a combination of a deep seated adoration, obsession, possessiveness, and devotion swirling in his clouded blue eyes. Yoimiya means the world to him, and he's unafraid to show it, as he hums in thought.]
So...what if I were to, say, propose to you? Would you say yes?
[ What a blessing this is, to snuggle up on the couch with his arms wrapped around her in complete and total bliss. Humming softly against his lips, she affectionately returns the kiss in full. Once they break, a satisfied sigh slips out of her lips as she basks in his perfect, handsome face staring at her.
"So...what if I were to, say, propose to you? " Just like that, he asks an unexpected question that has her heart fluttering. To hear that out of his mouth is very surprising, catching her so off guard that she stares at him in shock momentarily, she figured this topic wouldn't crop up for at least another year. There's still a lot that needs to be done before they consider marriage and deep down inside, Yoimiya doesn't believe she's skilled enough to be his wife.
At first she doesn't respond right away, needing a minute to calm her racing heart. ]
Yes. I'd say yes in a heartbeat.
[ There's not a hint of uncertainty when she speaks up, answering with a steadfast conviction in her voice. In the depths of her golden eyes lies devotion, admiration, obsession and a twisted love rooted with deep dark desires for her one and only, Ajax. But even in the face of corruption, she's still absolutely firm in this decision. Yoimiya has never been more sure of anything else in her life. ]
But... I know you have so much to accomplish in life, battlefields to conquer, and seeing your Archon's goals. Till my dying breath, I'll be happy to follow you in your quest to conquer the world. So... no matter how long it takes, I swear from the bottom of my heart, I will always wait for you. I love you and you alone, Ajax. There's not a single soul I'd rather be with.
no subject
Oooh, I'm excited! I've never felt so spoiled in my whole life. While you do that, allow me to freshen up real quick. I'll be baaaack~!
[ "Freshen up" AKA it's time for Ajax's present! Giggling like a mischievous child, Yoimiya takes off running to her bedroom. As he's finishing the preparations for their breakfast, he'll be able to catch the sounds of a few loud CRASHES, BANGS and the distinguishable noise of her footsteps tromping across the floor, carrying something heavy, complete with her going back to bring out another heavy object.
Upon his arrival, she's made sure that he'll spot a large black guitar case with a big red bow tied around the neck. Inside is a black and white electric guitar, right next to the case is a smaller box complete with the necessary parts such as cables, picks, extra strings, and a tuner. There are two more bigger boxes for him to open as well, the bulkier of the two boxes containing an amp while the tall box has a stand. Sitting on the guitar case is a Christmas card with this sweet message: ]
My Beloved Ajax,
Looking forward to seeing you rock out there! Once you put your mind to something, you can accomplish anything and I just know you're going to be an amazing guitarist. Hope you like the guitar I picked out! Once we move out to our new home, we can set up a room for your jam out sessions and before we know it, I can already picture you performing at an Arts Festival like the one Ayaka held a few months ago.
Thank you for everything. I love you so much.
[ After making all of that racket, Yoimiya is just casually sitting at the table like it's no big deal as she awaits her sweetheart's arrival. ]
no subject
Walking out to her dining room table, he sports a plate of blini along with a small bowl of tvarog topped with blueberries and strawberries to start, having left the rest in the kitchen to bring out, but he stops right before he gets close enough to set the dishes down to see the gifts waiting for him. Tartaglia turns his gaze over to Yoimiya, a small, surprised smile on his face after seeing the guitar case. He quickly sets the dishes down in front of her and goes over to open the boxes first to find the amp and the stand, and then the box with all the accessories. He looks like a little kid who gets to open the biggest boxes on Christmas morning, excited as he peels each one open to reveal the contents.]
You really thought of everything here...
[Looking back at her with wide eyes and a giant grin on his face, he goes over to the guitar case to take the card, opening it and reading the entire card out loud.]
...Forever yours, Yoimiya. Hahaha, goodness, this is quite unexpected. What a thoughtful and wonderful gift, thank you. I'll make sure to practice every day, and maybe I'll be able to play something for you.
[Closing the card, he opens the case first to reveal the guitar she's picked out, which he picks up and slings over his shoulder as he lets his fingernail glide over the strings before picking a few of them, letting the metallic sound ring out. Out of tune for now, but that's fine, because it feels good under his fingertips.]
Not bad.
[Putting it back down, he walks over to her, chuckling as he slots his lips with hers to give her a loving, appreciative kiss. As he breaks, he takes a look back at his gift before bringing his gaze back to her, the look on his face so excited and happy- so much so that he's forgotten about his own food and the rest of what he was going to bring out for the two of them.]
no subject
Not only is her tummy going to be full, but so is her heart. She's filled with joy watching Ajax open his presents like an excited kid eager to see what gift Santa got him, it's as if his childlike wonder that got snatched away from his time at the Abyss has been brought back, even if for a moment. She can't stop smiling as he reads every word of her card all until he makes her Christmas morning even more special by capturing her lips for a breathtaking kiss. His affection is the best present anyone could ask for. ]
You're welcome! Hopefully, I got everything you need to make it work. [ For someone who doesn't know much about musical instruments, it blew her mind how much equipment is needed. ] If there's ever anything else you need or you want to upgrade, just say the word and we can go back to the shop! I think you'll have lots of fun looking around.
[ The shop was so fascinating!! She just felt like a fish out of water looking around... ]
I'll be looking forward to hearing you play a song. Hehe, I can't wait to brag to the world that my boyfriend is not only handsome, strong, cool, and an incredible chef but he can play the guitar like a rockstar.
no subject
Well, let's not jump ahead too far, now. All things take diligent practice and dedication to get to that level, but I'm sure one day I'll be able to make you proud of my skills.
[With that being said, he disappears back into the kitchen to bring out his own food, and the remaining container of jam and sour cream for their breakfast. He sets them down on the table before fetching the cups of tea he'd also prepared, taking his own seat when he returns, and giving Yoimiya her tea before sipping the hot liquid.]
Ah, marvelous...I do hope you enjoy the breakfast. The pancakes are called blini, and it's a favorite of Teucer's whenever I'm home to cook for the family. The other dish here is called tvarog. I'm not sure what I could compare it to, so I'll let you try it and decide for yourself.
no subject
He continues to be sweet, not only cooking breakfast but bringing tea to her as well. She's licking her lips at the feast, excited to try the new dishes. Not holding back, she scoops a dollop of jam and sour cream before digging into the blini. ]
Mm... delicious! No wonder why Tecuer likes it so much. [ NOM NOM. She's nomming away like a little hamster. NOM NOM. ] So delightfully soft.
[ Of course, she has to try the tvarog too. She scoops up a bite and oh...! It's practically melting on her tongue. ]
Sooo yummy~! I've never had anything like this before. The strawberries and blueberries pair so well with the cheese. [ NOMS INTENSIFY ] Goodness Ajax, you sure know how to spoil a girl on Christmas morning.
no subject
It seems only fitting that the girl of my dreams receives the most fitting of feasts on such a special day. Haha, but I'm glad you're enjoying it, I had hoped you'd like more food from the motherland, since you've been very receptive to it so far.
[Taking another sip of his tea, he savors the flavor of it, letting himself be reminded of home from all the scents of the breakfast he's prepared. He'd of loved to take her around Snezhnaya on such an occasion, but unfortunately they probably wouldn't go home for a while.]
By the way, was there anything you wanted to do today? Honestly, I didn't have anything planned at all.
no subject
Would it be all right if we went out to the city to look at the Christmas lights? They're so beautiful and I've been dying to see them up close.
[ Between moving preparations, gifts, setting up their party, she hasn't had much time to go sightseeing. ]
And if it's okay with you, I'd like to get ideas on decorating our new cabin with lights! Hehe, we might be new to the area but we gotta show off our might and prove ourselves to be even more festive than any of our neighbors.
[ NOT YOIMIYA TRYING TO START A LIGHT COMPETITION IN FROSTREIGN. ]
no subject
Starting an all out war of lights with everyone? Not the kind of battle I thought I'd be getting into, but if that's what you'd like then I don't see why not. Besides, I've been interested in these Christmas light decorations myself. I've heard there's entire neighborhoods in the city that like to compete with each other to see who's house can be the most impressive, which really ends up in being a good show for us.
[He ponders if anywhere would be open to get a nice dinner at, but probably not...they'll have to make their own dinner tonight.]
How about I make a nice dinner for us as well, and afterward we can head out and get a glimpse of everyone's lights for the night. What do you say?
no subject
I'll never say no to your cooking. This time, let me help you out! I've been wanting to learn how to cook Snezhnayan dishes.
[ Not only is he spoiling her, but she's positively excited about getting out to see the holiday sights. She's rubbing her hands, already forming a strategy on how to one-up their neighbors. ]
Let's do it! The whole city of Nightwake has been completely decked out for the festivities, so I'm sure we'll get some great ideas for the house. If I was with anyone else, I'd say we better watch out for those roaming mistletoes that've been running amuck buuut I got the only person that I want to kiss by my side, hehe.
[ So as far as she's concerned, those plants can come at them all they want. >:D ]
no subject
What a wild place they live in where plants can force people to kiss each other like that. But by now, he's at least used to all the strange happenings of this world where something as harmless as magic mistletoe seems like the least of their worries.]
You sound as if you wouldn't mind if we got caught by a mistletoe or two. I hope you don't have any ulterior motives by suggesting that we go out during such a dangerous time.
[The wink he shoots her says everything- they would absolutely be menaces if given the chance and they'd enjoy every second of it.]
no subject
Haha, as if you have any room to talk, mister! I see that wink that's totally up to no good. But you're right, I wouldn't mind getting caught by those mistletoes with you...
[ Dark flames of evergrowing obsession burn behind her golden eyes. It's just a harmless plant, it's silly to get jealous over an occurrence no one can control, she knows this, and yet... the flower of corruption that blossoms so deeply within her heart pushes out any logic. ]
And if you don't mind, I'd like to continue staking my claim onto you. Your jealous little pavlin isn't going to take kindly to anyone who thinks they can steal a kiss from you.
no subject
By all means. I hope you don't mind in turn if I sink my claws and teeth deeper into you as well, as I won't tolerate even the slightest notion of anyone even looking at you in a way I don't like.
[Tartaglia's hand reaches from his side of the table to let a solitary finger brush against her cheek, unaware of the gravity of the statement he's just made- all he cares about is having Yoimiya all to himself, and letting her own him in the same way that he feels he owns her.]
My precious, gorgeous pavlin, those feathers are all for me to drink in, and no one else. I love you so much Yoimiya, have I ever told you that?
no subject
Mm... yes, please do. Always and forever, I belong to you and no one else. I'm willing to let you sink your claws and teeth into every inch of my skin as the entire world watches on.
[ She stares at him, eyes filled with a maddening love for her one and only. A serene smile laced with a hint of wickedness graces her features, very much looking forward to all of the terrible ways to show off their love to the world. ]
Pretty sure you have, hehe. And I'll never get tired of you saying it. I love you too, Ajax. I love you so much. You're my whole world, you have my heart, soul, and body for all of eternity.
no subject
I'm elated to hear you say that. Your unwavering dedication has me practically on cloud nine, and in turn, my sword is yours to command until I breathe my last breath.
[Ajax takes her hand, kissing the back of it like a knight would honor his princess, his eyelashes fluttering as he looks up at her from beneath them.]
May your golden aura never dull, and the bloodstains of battle be ever-present on your garb for the world to know and fear. As the goddess of my heart, I dedicate my being to you and I'll use my strength to lift up you and your name as we conquer the world. But first...
[Even as he bathes in the corruption of his own mind, he hasn't forgotten their plans.]
...maybe we should conquer some Christmas lights. As they say, the city streets are a battlefield of bright sights and sounds, and it seems like a good place to start. Why don't we have a little fun between now and when we head out? I'd like to give you a few more...presents.
no subject
Every breath she takes, every resonating sound of her heart thrumming in her chest, Ajax has her fully in his grips, claiming her down to every blonde strand of her hair and she's happy, so utterly happy to be all his. As they sit in the corner of her apartment, lost in their own corrupted world, his words resonate with her. He's so devoted and caring, sometimes he's far more dedicated than what she deserves. So kind, so wonderful... another reminder that she'll do everything to protect his smile and that she'll never allow anyone to take him away from her.
But for now, she'll focus her corrupt mind on sightseeing with her beloved. After all, it's more fun to cause chaos together with him. ]
First Christmas lights, then the world! All the mayhem we'll cause will be a stepping stone in our path towards absolute victory.
[ Oh? Her grin widens at the implication of his... "presents", already loving the direction this is heading. ]
Ooh, you have more... [ Oh, she's absolutely giggling. ] presents in mind? You're too kind to me, Ajax. You sure know how to spoil a girl. I'll be sure to return them in full. After all, my perfect knight deserves nothing but the best reward.
no subject
So he'll continue to finish up his meal that he cooked, adding some more sour cream to his blini before polishing it all off.]
Mmmmmm, I was kind of hoping you'd say that...
[Delicious, both his meal and Yoimiya, and he can't wait to savor her once he's done savoring this food he's made.]
But there's no need to rush. We can enjoy this meal for a bit longer, and afterwards we can decide when you'd like the rest of your gifts.
no subject
Yes! Let's eat up everything before heading out. Your breakfast is so delicious and I want to be sure I savor every last bite.
[ She keeps her stare locked onto him, licking her lips like the hungry little pavlin she is. ]
Buuut, you already know I'm quite greedy. If you don't mind spoiling me even more, I think I'm craving... dessert after our breakfast. [ She scoops up a spoonful of blini, holding it out towards his mouth. ] Ahhh~?
no subject
Her stare keeps him focused on her, feeling his mouth dry a little as she licks her lips, imagining where those lips would be soon enough and how badly he is starting to need them to do terrible and incredible things to him.]
Mmmmm...
[He hums thoughtfully, leaning over to let her feed him the bit of breakfast, doing the exact same thing back to her as his eyelashes flutter shut, cupping the bottom of her hand with his own. He slowly drags his lips over the metal as he eats the food off of it, the spoon coming out with a tiny pop, making a deliberate effort to swallow it before he opens his eyes again. A swirling, dark need brews in his eyes, his smirk almost evil as he gazes back into her eyes.]
A nice treat sounds like just the thing we deserve. You've been more than thoughtful and giving today, so I'll do more than just spoil you. I'll give you everything you could crave for, just allow me in and I'll make it worth your while.
[Though he's not sure if he's going to finish his breakfast at this rate, greed surging through him, a dark force telling him that sinking into Yoimiya would satisfy his hunger.]
We could always finish this up later, if you'd like your dessert now.
no subject
But then, he manages to catch his own Yoimiya fish in turn. Her stare is glued onto him, swallowing hard as she watches his tantalizing mouth drag across the rim of her spoon. That delightful pop draws a greedy need that forms in the pit of her stomach and then straight to her thighs. Her small hand reaches up to cup his, gently stroking his skin with her thumb as she imagines his lips all over her body, all the incredible acts his mouth has done for her time and time again. ]
Mm... yeah, my insatiable appetite can't be contained. I think I want my dessert right now.
[ Yup, she's a thirsty gal and certainly not for food. Not wasting any time, she quickly gets up out of her chair, holding out her hand to Ajax. ]
Although, before we get started. Maybe we should put up the food first.
SKIPPING THE SEX I S2G
...oh, right. I suppose we could put it away in case we take a little longer than expected, huh?
[Taking her hand, he stands to immediately pull her into a deep, ardorous kiss. His tongue wastes no time slipping inside of her mouth for a few moments as he presses not only himself against her, but also pressing his will into her as well- he needs her more than anything else, and he wants her to feel it, to know that he needs to taste her skin against his own.
Tartaglia releases their kiss slowly, managing to wink at her despite how breathless he is, gazing deeply into her eyes as he speaks.]
How about I take care of it, and you wait for me in the bedroom. I promise I'll be quick.
TIME SKIPPING BC I HATE THESE TWO AND THEIR HORNY BUTTS SO MUCH
All right, I'll be waiting for you. Don't worry, I know you to be zip-zappy, hehe.
[ Giggling, she circles a finger around his chest, dragging it down until it stops right at the waistband of his pants. Shooting him one last wink, she departs to the bedroom with a skip in her step... and deliberately wiggling her cute, round butt at him. They're in for a great time. ]
---
[ Eventually, after they take care of their... ahem "business", the two of them head out to enjoy the festive scenery. As expected of this high-tech world, the lights strewn about the city are dazzling. Hand-in-hand with Ajax, Yoimiya's heart races with each step, it's as if they are mini fireworks lighting the way to bless the residents on this magical holiday. It had been a joyful adventure, getting caught by a roaming mistletoe had been one of the highlights along with other... fun, affectionate chaos the two of them happily indulged themselves in (deep sigh) but soon, it starts to get late and it's time for them to go back home. ]
Thank you for taking me out! Nightwake really knows how to go all out for Christmas, the lights were stunning and we had so much... fun, hehe. [ If you know, you know. ] We should go out again during New Years.
[ In her hands is the wedding charm bestowed to them. Pink dusts her cheeks as she recalls the events that took place, an overly eager shop owner promoting their store happened to catch the pair the pair out and about, mistaking their lovey-dovey aura as a couple making plans to get hitched. ]
It's a little funny we were confused for a married couple. Do we really give off that kind of vibe?
no subject
Childe stretches his arms out as they walk back into the apartment, yawning after their exciting evening.]
I guess we just seem like a natural fit for each other, [he says, grinning as he takes his shoes off to go and plop down on the couch.]
I don't disagree with their assessment, would you?
[His eyes seem to brighten, wondering what she'd say to that. It'll help him with future decisions...ones he's not bringing up to her right now.]
no subject
Mm... not at all. I think their assessment is pretty spot on.
[ After getting a good feel for his warmth she gives his biceps a gentle squeeze just before looking up at him with a grin to match his own.
Realistically, Yoimiya knows what she's about to say is too soon but she's never been more sure of anything else in her entire life. Never before has she felt so deeply connected to someone in every sense, a connection that's only gotten stronger over time, and now, she's confident nothing will ever break their bond. She might be a naive, young woman in love but she knows what her heart wants. ]
I love everything about you, Ajax. Every day, I'm thankful to the stars that we were able to cross paths during that fateful day in Chinju Forest. From the bottom of my heart, I feel like I've found the love of my life, my one and only, my soulmate.
no subject
...I feel the same. I feel complete now that I have you by my side, my quest to conquer the world now given more meaning, and my heart aches to give you everything this world has to offer. You're everything I could of dreamed of, Yoimiya. I love you from the very core of my being, and I'd like nothing better than to spend the rest of my days with you.
[His eyes meet her own, a combination of a deep seated adoration, obsession, possessiveness, and devotion swirling in his clouded blue eyes. Yoimiya means the world to him, and he's unafraid to show it, as he hums in thought.]
So...what if I were to, say, propose to you? Would you say yes?
no subject
"So...what if I were to, say, propose to you? " Just like that, he asks an unexpected question that has her heart fluttering. To hear that out of his mouth is very surprising, catching her so off guard that she stares at him in shock momentarily, she figured this topic wouldn't crop up for at least another year. There's still a lot that needs to be done before they consider marriage and deep down inside, Yoimiya doesn't believe she's skilled enough to be his wife.
At first she doesn't respond right away, needing a minute to calm her racing heart. ]
Yes. I'd say yes in a heartbeat.
[ There's not a hint of uncertainty when she speaks up, answering with a steadfast conviction in her voice. In the depths of her golden eyes lies devotion, admiration, obsession and a twisted love rooted with deep dark desires for her one and only, Ajax. But even in the face of corruption, she's still absolutely firm in this decision. Yoimiya has never been more sure of anything else in her life. ]
But... I know you have so much to accomplish in life, battlefields to conquer, and seeing your Archon's goals. Till my dying breath, I'll be happy to follow you in your quest to conquer the world. So... no matter how long it takes, I swear from the bottom of my heart, I will always wait for you. I love you and you alone, Ajax. There's not a single soul I'd rather be with.
