It was a unique day to say the least, the morning sun had risen high above into the sky its warm glow embracing the city below with its vibrant rays, one of these rays would sneak in between a split on the curtains of a modest hotel shining right in the face of a sleeping individual, the man would roll over onto his side trying to ward off the annoyance. ”Mmmf” was all he said as he opened his eyes, sitting up on his rented bed he looked around at his empty room, then it clicked he had a date today! The man’s crimson eyes would go from half open to, wide with shock at the realization jumping out of bed he rushed to the restroom, moments later with a flush, and a run of the faucet the man emerged from the bathroom dressed in a black buttoned shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a pair of black slacks, and his usual boots. His cloak would take a day off today, just in case he had two Pokemon with him today but for now he b lined for the door, flinging it open, and then shut before running down the long hallway. The man would emerge onto the streets of Celadon, his head turning left, and then right as he took in the details of his surrounding he needed to orient himself as to where he was so he could direct himself to the meeting place where he had told Izumi to meet him the night before. The male would run down the street, pushing his way through the crowd, and trying to direct himself best he could a sense of genuine worry stirring within him, and expressed upon his features. Finally he spotted it the Vileplume fountain found in the center of the city, just near the giant department store, coming to a complete stop Bunji looked around, his eyes jumping from face to face.
He was trying to spot Izumi, he was after all dressed for the occasion, and he smelled nice to the man was genuinely trying to impress the girl he had the day planned out so the two could hang out, standing there he waited wondering just where Izumi was maybe she was late? Or maybe he was early? Either or he could not find her anywhere, all he could do was sigh as he inhaled deeply trying to keep a level head, why was he so nervous? Shaking off the shaky nerves that threatened to break him down, he tried his best to stay calm all he had to do was wait for her to arrive, then from there he would proceed in doing his best to show Izumi a good time around the city. Walking over towards the fountain he admired the craftsmanship in silence, using it as a way to distract his mind from the nervous feeling that was stirring around inside of him, the sound of the water splashing against the small pool that surrounded the Vileplume was also aiding in settling his nerves.

She honestly had no idea where they were going to meet; so she’d rented a room at the neighboring Saffron City Hostel (because all the rooms in Celadon were occupied at the moment) and she woke up with a start. How exactly did she end up here? The last memory she had of the night before was that she’d fallen asleep leaning on him just as they’d finished exterminating the “haunting” problem over in Lavender Town; she then furrowed her brow over how she’d arrived in the room where she’d dumped all her stuff in, when she remembered that she was carrying her hotel room’s keys with her when they’d gone out on that “exorcism” mission. Wait so he carried me back here?! She thought, her face turning red—and then she heard her phone buzz, quickly grabbing it, she then opened it and then saw that there was a message… it wasn’t from Bunji, nor was it from Tsurugi—in fact it was from Thomas, asking if she’d had any other ‘mons in mind for him to catch for her.
Grinning, she quickly texted a reply—before catching a look at the time—and nearly flipping the bed over out of surprise! “Oh shit I’m so LATE!” she shouted, quickly chucking the mobile unit on the bed; and then making a mad dash for the bathroom and turning on the water full-blast in the shower receptacle. She then stripped down and quickly dove inside the small cubicle, scrubbing herself down with the soap that she’d ripped out of its packaging—and then running her head under the shower. After several frantic minutes of bathing and dressing later, she found herself wearing something quite girlish—a plaid skirt that reached down to her knees; black knee-high socks, and a frilly black top. To top off said look she accented it with one of the rare fedoras she barely used—and even changed out the decoration on it to something that resembled a Gracidea flower.
She then took a twirl in the mirror and saw that she looked stunning—if extremely girly. Well today is an exception… so why the hell not? She thought with a grin as she quickly grabbed her mobile, the room’s keys, and then ran down and out of the Hotel, across the short path, and then through the streets of Celadon City. Where did he say he was going to wait for me again…? She thought, making her way through the city; finally spotting the huge fountain in front of the Department Store—and there was a lone, red-haired figure looking absentmindedly at the gigantic ‘mon that made up the statue in the middle of said fountain.
“Bun…ji?” she said tentatively, hoping he’d noticed what she was wearing—a red-and-black scheme of clothing she rarely used; unless she needed to look more like a lady and less like a random guy!
His mind was trapped, captivated by the image of the statue that rested in front of him personally he was not really focusing on the fountain itself he was thinking the young mans mind was racing with a series of thoughts, and then he would be broken from those thoughts by the sound of a familiar tone carrying a familiar name into his ears. Blinking a few times he would turn over his shoulder to direct his crimson eyes at the young woman that stood in front of him, it was almost as if he was staring at a whole new person, yet he instantly recognized the woman it was Azi after all. ”You look absolutely stunning” he said to her, no hesitation in his words, and a tone of genuine kindness carries those very words towards the girls ears, he would feel his face heat up just a bit as a faint blush colored his cheekbones now. Those crimsons of his they could not stop staring, the whole look just worked for her the way her long hair cascaded down from under her fedora, the overall look was just well it was perfect for her. The male would smile at her as he walked over just a bit closer making distance between himself, and the fountain once he was within arm’s reach of Azi he would hold a hand out for her ”Come on, let’s go have some fun” he said to the girl with that smile still decorating his features. When the girl would take his hand he would give it a gentle squeeze, his fingers interlocking with her as he turned to lead her away from the fountain now onto the sidewalks of the city.
Bunji knew this feeling well, the old him knew what it felt like to be in the company of Azi the butterflies in his stomach, and the feeling of joy that was filling him at this moment, all he could do was continue to smile as he allowed himself to enjoy the vibe of the moment he found himself in. For the first time in a long time Bunji was genuinely feeling happy about all this, he was feeling the old him slowly emerge from the abyss in which he had trapped himself even if it was just temporary he would enjoy this moment. However the smile on the outside did not fully show the thoughts in Bunji’s head, the doubt that began to formulate inside of him, it was not doubt in this moment, or doubt in him one day being at peace. No he had doubts in his goal, was it all really worth it? Was it worthwhile to waste his life away chasing after something like Team Rocket? Maybe this whole decision in the end was nothing more but a rage filled stir of the moment, whatever the case he had to figure out if he really hated his former friend Kooga, the thoughts only serves to confuse him, causing him to physically shake his head in an attempt to push the thoughts away.
”So where do you want to go first?” he would suddenly ask the girl whose hand he held in his, the young man continued to quietly walk along the path at her side.

Is he flattering me? He’s got to be, but it doesn’t sound like he is… someone pinch me, I have to be dreaming… were the thoughts that were forming in the back of Izumi’s mind; as he complemented her on the outfit that she was wearing. “You think so?” she began, doing a twirl in front of him so that he got to see the entire outfit from all angles. “You know, I never got the chance to wear this… until now,” she trailed off, the slightest hint of coloration appearing on her cheeks. That hint of coloration intensified the moment he offered his hand to her; and she took it willingly; before letting him lead the way through the city. At least it’s not Lilycove… she thought in the back of her mind, wondering if the city of Celadon had much more to offer.
She heard him ask a question not too long after, and then she suddenly remembered something—her own stomach began to rumble; and then she looked at him in an extremely flustered way. “Errr, I hope you heard nothing. Do you know any good places to eat first, before we go exploring every corner of the city?” she asked. She knew that Saffron was bigger than Celadon, but even the Rainbow City had its own unique charms—no animosity between them today, just two old friends out on a day on the town… and stop embarrassing yourself, seriously. You’re just making it all the more obvious… she thought to herself, trying to calm the hell down!
The sound of the stomach grumbling to his side would catch his attention but he would not look over so as to not make the girl feel embarrassed by his prying eyes, instead he looked over at a nearby store focusing on the showcasing of some clothing from a store. It was then that he heard the girl mention food, something he had expected turning to face her he would give her a nod with a soft smile on his features meant for Izumi, ”Of course, I spent some time here awhile back. There’s an awesome sushi place by here” he said to her as he led her along the sidewalk the two walking side by side, looking like a typical young couple, yet Bunji did not seem bothered by it at all he was in fact content with all of this. The day was perfect, at least for him stepping into the sushi restaurant Bunji would choose a table with a semi lunar shaped couch, sitting on it Bunji would allow Izumi to scoot in as well, however he would not scoot very far from her instead he would place an arm around her holding the girl close. Bunji would lean in pressing his lips against her cheek, his lips feeling the warmth of her skin on contact the light peck on her feminine features would be brief but followed by what could only be described as a passion driven nuzzling motion into the girl. Bunji’s free hand would come up cupping Izumi’s chin, his thumb gently caressing her bottom lip while he continued to quietly nuzzle her not saying a word, simply losing himself in the moment.
“Here are your menus!” suddenly the unfamiliar voice of another male broke Bunji form his trance, opening his once closed eyes he rested them upon the waiter dressed in a typical back, and white theme uniform setting down the two menus for the young couple he gave them a smile, “May I start you off with some drinks?” he asked, Bunji cleared his throat feeling his own face heat up just a bit. Adjusting himself on the long couch he shared with Izumi he looked at the man, ”Chilled black tea” he said to the man, once the man had taken his order he waited for Izumi’s, and one the girl gave her order he bowed out before leaving. Clearing his throat once more Bunji looked down at the menu in front of him opening the thing enjoy the simplistic design of it, ”Sorry about that Azi…I don’t know what happened” he said to her feeling genuinely embarrassed.

“Lead the way,” she began, unable to resist the urge to break out into giggles—what the hell was causing her to act this way?! She then leaned on him (much like what had happened during their last escapade over in Lavender) and let him take charge—after all, today was a time they both needed some much-deserved rest and relaxation. At the sound of the word “sushi”, she just nodded—little did she know that the things that she’d eaten back in Fuchsia were called as such; and once they’d managed to squeeze themselves into a booth, she then took the opportunity to sit as close to him as possible—she’d gotten used to sitting across him, so this was more of a challenge…not.
Stop blushing, stop bushing, stop blushing… she thought to herself as he leaned in much closer to her; their faces were so close together it almost seemed like they were going to kiss! Then again, maybe not—because a waiter had arrived; and was asking for their order. “Get me some milk tea please,” she said, ordering her drink and then watching as the waiter walked away—her own inner instincts as a Waitress were to just let everyone back off and let her enjoy this rare opportunity… but she controlled herself. She was about to ask him what else they were going to be dining on—when she saw that he was actually getting all flustered as well! She grinned triumphantly; and then came back with a retort, “Ha, now you know how I always feel…” before sticking her tongue out at him just to tease!
He could only chuckle in response to the girls teasing ways, sticking her tongue out at him was only working in amusing him even further trying his best not to lose it he would turn away covering his mouth to hide his chuckle, relaxing from it he turned to face the girl again his crimson eyes settling upon her facial features. ”…you are a goof as always Azi” he said to her with a playful tone, it was only after that in which he turned his attention to the menu looking over everything he would have decided what he would eat, setting the menu down he looked over at her he would once again scoot close to her not putting his arm over her but allowing it so they would lean into one another. ”I enjoy your company” he whispered to her, leaning in to gently nuzzle his nose into her, then once again getting away with giving her a gentle peck on the cheeks by pressing his lips softly against her face. Soon the waiter would arrive this time not to interrupt them thankfully, the man would set their drinks down, and then ask for their order looking over at Azi he would turn his attention to the man ”I would like the tuna sushi roll, and on the side some tempura shrimp if you’d please” he said to the man, with that the waiter would have focused his attention on Izumi waiting for her order. Silently Bunji waited, until the girl had placed her order so the waiter could bow himself out once again.
Once he was gone Bunji would sip from his drink, enjoying the flat flavor of the chilled black iced tea, looking over at Azi he would find his right arm slipping at her waist wrapping around it to effectively allow him to embrace the girl with one arm, leaning in again he pressed his forehead against her head, silently enjoying her wonderful scent slipping into his nostrils. ”There’s something about you today…I can’t seem to resist these urges” he admitted to her in a whisper, Bunji’s eyes were closed, and he was simply allowing himself to sink in the moment once again. Reaching over he would gently caress the girls face with his other hand, his right arm being busy wrapped around her waist ”Azi….I’ve missed you so much” he whispered to the girl in a low tone, his words carrying a genuine tone. The male remained close to her, allowing his hand to continue to caress her face, and his lips to occasionally press against her lips with a gentle peck.

She felt even her own ears burn red at the next words that he had to say—she then had to pinch herself one more time just to make certain that she was not dreaming all of this up—because it was just simply too good to be true! She was about to ask him if he really meant what he’d said when another waiter approached; and this time decided to take their order. She then began looking through the entire selection… before finally flipping it to the very back of the menu and seeing something that they could eat—a large platter that had various pieces of what was called “sushi” and then there were also some pieces of what looked like… “Is that raw fish…” she trailed off, before saying, ”Well, let’s have one of these, since it does say here that this is good enough for two people,” she dropped off before nodding in the waiter’s direction and returning the menu.
Once the waiter had disappeared, she then reached for her order of milk tea—it smelled fantastic; as if tempting her to take a huge sip out of it. Instead, she held it in her hands, before letting the liquid swirl around in said glass; and then inhaling the aroma that was wafting from its surface. “W-what urges…?” she asked, immediately feeling her own face turn a light shade of pink; since the way he said it was just so… sensual. After a few moments, he then continued, and that made the light coloration on her cheeks turn a much darker shade—was he playing, or did he really mean every word he said?! Arrrgh, I can’t tell if it is or not because well… she began, trailing off into the silence, and then letting that same moment of silence speak for itself as she took a sip from the glass of milk tea that she was holding.
A soft smile would continue to tug at the corner of his lips as he took notice of the girls color, she was blushing so badly right now that it was very easy to spot the man would sip from his chilled tea again silently taking in her words, when she was done speaking he would lean back into his seat allowing his drink to rest on the hard surface of the table. He would allow his eyes to focus upon the ceiling of the restaurant, his mind was focused on many things at this point for one wondering why he felt so comfortable around Azi again, it was not weird, nor did it feel wrong the man was completely honest with himself realizing that he felt himself around the girl. Suddenly the sound of plates touching the wooden table of the ground would snap him out of his thoughts, unaware of how long he had been out of it, the male shook his head looking down at the plates with their food he would reach for the nearby chopsticks cleanly snapping the two in half. ”Urges, I guess what I meant was that, despite how I acted before. I can’t help but realize that around you I want to be myself, I don’t want to be that cold hearted bastard…I don’t want to be that monster anymore” he said to himself, a low sigh escaped him as he reached up grabbing one of the sushi pieces with the chopsticks, and putting it in his mouth.
Allowing the cold delight to smother his taste buds he chewed, and chewed until finally swallowing the piece, ”It’s a weird feeling but, at the end of the day Azi I am not this monster, I have something to tell you…but first I need to know some things from you. I know they may seem weird, or out of place, but I know that it was me who has caused you to change…so what I want to know is, to what extent did you go to protect me? What have you done to make yourself capable of keeping an eye on me?” he asked the girl with a low tone, his crimson eyes giving her a gentle stare. The man knew that Azi was watching his back always, it was no secret but what he did not know is to what extent did she go in order to protect him, what did she do to prepare herself for such a daunting task. Taking another piece of the sushi he would gently slip it into his mouth, again allowing himself to enjoy the morsel as he quietly ate the food waiting for the girl’s answer.

She then set down the glass of milk tea as well at the sound of his voice—and then the slight coloration on her face returned in much more intensity; and all she could do was look at him—and on the outside, the two really did look like a young dating couple; what with her sudden shyness and flustered attitude permeating the area; and his easygoing, carefree ways leading on to the so-called “illusion”. Deep inside her, though, she could feel her heart hammering so fast, it was no surprise that she was still managing to keep herself whole while he was successfully flustering her all over again, just like what had happened three years ago back in their hometown…
“So…” she began, looking at him for a few seconds before looking away (since she could practically feel the heat radiating from her face), “…what kind of effect did I have on you, that made you change your mind about my actions…” she trailed off, now completely unable to even look at him, simply because he had literally gotten her right in the feels. She then let a few moments of silence pass between them; before the clinking of porcelain against wood shook her out of said silence—their orders had arrived, and they looked absolutely fantastic. “Well then,” she began, reaching for one of the familiar-looking rolls with her hands (totally bypassing the need to use chopsticks because there was no way she was going to use them), “…are you sure you really want to know how much I would go through to keep you safe?”
She then popped the miniature rice roll into her mouth; chewing it all the while. This was allowing her enough time to think; because honestly, she had no concrete answer prepared for it… she then swallowed her first roll before picking up another one and taking a bite out of this one. She knew she needed more time to formulate her answer—and after swallowing said bite, she then said, “To be honest? Well… I would go to any length to protect you from yourself. Ever since you told me that you had no parents, the whole of our hometown became your family; and well… since they knew that we share some sort of ‘past’, they asked me to keep an eye on you after you left once again…” she trailed off. Now, this was mostly the truth; but she had yet to reveal to him another one of her own secrets… one that had taken place involving Kaname, and a certain group…
“I guess if I had to put it into words, I would say that the effect you have on me is that you are a representation of my past Azi, you are remnant of a time that has long since passed. Yet, the way you are it hasn’t changed one bit, so deep down when I look at you I remember those days we spent together in Lavaridge the much simpler times that we shared…to be honest there are times when deep down I miss those times, so much so that I am starting to question my own resolve, wondering if I am doing the right thing here” with a sigh following his dialogue the male would reach for his tea once more taking another sip. After he rested it back on the solid surface of the table he would roll his crimson eyes over to Azi, quietly he observed her able to read how flustered she was it was not hard to do so anyways, seeing as the girl was practically beaming a bright red color. All he could though was smile at the sight, he found it to be adorable seeing the mighty Azi, who normally expressed nothing but a tough exterior, to now her showing a more sensitive side, more exposed if you will. The male would quietly listen to her bit allowing her soft feminine tone to carry her words into his welcoming ears, once she was done he would only nod at first, to an extent he understood, but also admired her unrelenting sense of duty.
The girl had taken it upon herself to watch over him on behalf of Lavaridge, she had taken on a daunting task yet Bunji felt that there was more to this tale that she was sharing, as admirable as it was Azi was after all just one person, not that he doubted her skills but he knew she was far from being stupid the male would reach over grabbing hold of another bit of sushis before popping it into his mouth. His mind formulated his next words with caution, there was after all so many secrets that he had kept from many that it was still hard for him to fully open up, despite this new outlook on life. ”You know for a while, I heard rumors, faint ones but rumors of an organization named Steinhart, a group that well as far as I gathered from fragmented rumors stands for justice or something. Honestly I never got more than that, just rumors…” taking a pause to sip from his tea again he would have maintained his eyes on the familiar face of the former flame that was Azi, soon enough follow his dialogue with ”…ever heard of them Azi?” he asked pretty dry, and simple with his words this time.
Post by Izumi Yamamura on Dec 22, 2013 4:02:26 GMT -5
To his retort, she had this to say, “Well… you chose your path of destruction when you first left Lavaridge without a word; and man it took the entire town a long time to recover—partially because they know that I’m one of the two sweethearts of the place—the other being Flannery—and once you showed up, well, things went crazy once again. People were asking if you were back for good; but after finding out you just came home for a bit, they went nuts again. So they asked me to keep an eye on you; since they know that I was supposed to have started my journey into the world three years ago,” she said, before pausing to take a breath. “And about that part that reminds me of you… I don’t know if I should be flattered or what; but it’s a comforting thing to know that I remind you of your humanity…” she trailed off, before popping the remaining bit of sushi into her mouth.
After chewing it, she then reached for another one when his next speech made her stop cold. Freezing for just a second, she then grabbed the closest piece of sushi she could get her hands on and then popped it into her mouth, hoping he hadn’t noticed her weird action there—but knowing Bun, she could tell that he did. After chewing and swallowing the little roll, she then reached for her milk tea and then took a sip, before finally turning to face him… “You’ve heard of them, eh? Well… I can tell you this… I’ve been doing some poking around about them and well…” she began, before reaching for another roll and then leaning in very close, so close that she could almost touch his face! She then held her hand out as if to hide something (which she really did, because what they were going to talk about was a secret) and then whispered, “Yes, I’ve heard of them… and I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news but… I joined Steinhart.”
She then backed away, and calmly ate the roll, before turning her attention once more to the platter—it was half-empty, so she reached for one that had something that looked like an egg turned sideways and then popped that one in her mouth. Don’t think badly of me… but I did that because… I have to protect you from your madness… she thought to herself as she continued to eat the roll in silence.
He would never have guessed that the girl was, well a member of Steinhart he sat there his eyes showing emotion by widening the warmth that once filled them replaced by shock, and a hint of confusion. To say that he was surprised would be an understatement but not far from the truth, sitting there for a moment in silence he would allow his mind time to process this new information she had just shared with him, it was to be quite honest a curious thing how this world would tend to twist, and turn making things happen that always caught him off guard. Ultimately at the end all he could do was smile, ”It’s flattering” he suddenly said his eyes focused upon the distant ceiling that rested above them, ”To think that you would go so far as to join an organization such as them, just to protect one person…it is testament to the feelings that linger within you, I may be overstepping but deep down, there is still something romantic for me…isn’t there?” his tone was carried by a more calm flow of words, and his gaze had lowered from the ceiling to Azi. Those stunning crimsons of his focused upon her, they searched her amber eyes that he had always found so attractive this time however he was not gazing at them for the sake of lust, he was searching them for any signs of hesitation when she spoke. The man would allow her to say her piece on what he had said just moments ago, there was other topics he wanted to cover with her after all, the main one being this business about Steinhart.
”About the group you joined, I am assuming you became a part of their ranks not too long ago, we haven’t been out of Hoenn for very long. Where did you come across a member even? When I tried looking, I just hit dead ends” he explained as he continued to sip from his chilled tea. He knew his question may have been a bit bold, but he also knew Azi trusted him besides he was not going to spill this out to anyone, the male was curious because deep down he still wanted to find a purpose for himself, perhaps Steinhart was still an option? Who knew, for now all he knew was that he would try to get whatever information Azi was willing to share, maybe help him in making his decision.

Izumi watched as his expression changed from flustering, to shock, to finally one that she could not read—simply because he stared up at the ceiling after she’d dropped “the bomb” on him. She waited for his next words; she was expecting something like dissuasion; or shock, or anger—but it turned out to be something else—and even then, he managed to make her very red face flush even more, because at this point her ears were also beginning to burn up as well. She then stared at him; and there was neither doubt nor hesitation in them; before she brought herself to say the next few words, “W-what makes you ask? To be honest… I thought I cast it off to one side, but then again… with what’s happening, I cannot deny that one fact…that I still have feelings for you,” she ended in a whisper, hoping that her now tomato-red face wasn’t too much of a giveaway.
She then heard him ask about it, and her mind flashed back to that one time in Pewter… and then she looked at him, and leaned close before spilling the rest of the beans, “I found one in Pewter City… while I was looking around, for information for you, back while you were still demented and hell-bent on bringing them Rocks down,” she said, referring to his former affiliation with a shorthand version of the code. “I apparently gathered the attention of someone who was looking for the same information as I was, and then he… he revealed himself to be a member of the group. As of now I am unsure if I have capabilities on recruiting into the organization; because as of the moment I am still acting as my normal, usual self… catching ‘mons for my special catching service, getting Badges… the normal kind of things. Also, training,” she said in one go, pausing to pick up the glass of milk tea and drink some of the contents before setting it down again.
“Why? Do you have any intention of joining…? Because what I can tell you now, they are dedicated to keeping the peace, but they’re not like Officer Jennys or anything like that. No, not like the way they operate. This team apparently keeps all the other troublemakers in line… most specially the Rocks,” she ended, looking at him straight in the eye, before reaching out for a piece of sushi and then feeding it to him instead of taking it for herself.
Her confirmation of feelings still existing for him did not strike him as a surprise, not even in the slightest the male had a feeling that the girl felt something for him besides no one went this far into the mud for just a friend, silently he continued to listen to her speak this time she was once again leaning in to whisper into his ear. Now Bunji was not normally paranoid, but he had learned one thing in his time never make it obvious that you are whispering secrets, regardless he did not interrupt her this time, he simply listened to the bits of information she was sharing with him such as the mysterious man she met in Pewter. From what he gathered this Steinhart group was already deep into Kanto searching for information on Team Rocket, then again there was a chance Azi had shared information with the nameless man, perhaps that was why she was recruited? The man would ponder on the possibilities working with that pieces of a much grander puzzle he was given, at least from what she said after he could suspect they had not given her any missions or specifics tasks unless she was lying, but why would she? So many questions, and not enough answers Bunji’s curiosity was peaked he needed to dig a little more, find out just a bit more.
Once Azi had posed her question he would reached around with an arm wrapping it around her small waist pulling her close as he leaned into her embracing her in a loving manner, his eyes closed as for a moment he enjoyed the warmth that radiated from her soft body, leaning in his nose gently nuzzled hers, and then for a brief moment his lips pressed against her full feminine ones for a brief peck. A soft smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, soon decorating his masculine features before he whispered ”Azi, if you keep leaning in to whisper into my ear, someone may suspect something. Who is to say Steinhart is not tailing you? Can’t have you looking bad with your new friends, this way…we seem like nothing more, but an embracing couple…admittedly, a sensation I’ve missed” once he was done he leaned in to peck her lips again, this time the contact lingering for a few more seconds. Pulling away from her the crimson eyed man would focus his attention on her, still remembering her question, ”I am considering the possibility, with this new outlook that is slowly creeping out form within me, I find myself searching for a new purpose.
