[b]Ajax softly sighs in happiness and starts to eat his food[/b]
English
-
She chuckles. "With our fooling around, our food's gotten cold..." She eats nonetheless, smiling.
-
[b]Ajax continues to eat, a small smile on his face[/b]
-
"After our dinner, I have something I want to show you."
-
"Sure, what do you want to see?"
-
She smiles. "You'll see."
-
[b]Ajax finishes his food and gets up[/b]
-
She finishes her own lunch, putting the tray away.
-
[b]Ajax does the same and starts to head to their rooms[/b]
-
She walks with him, taking him into her room. "Wait here. I'm going to go get it." She searches in a drawer for something.
-
[b]Ajax does as she says, tapping his fingers on his tail[/b]
-
She sighs. "Here it is... I've never shown it to anyone ever before." She walks up to him, holding an old, crumpled picture, with some burning on the edges. It showed a regal-looking blonde woman with icy blue eyes, and a kind-looking man, with a friendly mustache. His hair was short and black, while hers was long and wavy. "This... this is a picture of... my family." Ajax then noticed a small girl, of about four, sitting in between them. She had the cutest, most innocent look he had ever seen. She had her mother's eyes and mouth, but her father's nose. Her hair was black, like her father's, but already was long, to her shoulders. "In the middle there... is me." Elsa says, with a profound weigt in her words. "My real name... is not Elsa. My real name is Élise. And I am not Walker... I am Mougeot." This was obviously a painful memory for her. "This is the only souvenir I have of them... everything else was destroyed."
-
[b]Ajax slithers over and hugs her[/b] "I'm sorry.... I'm so sorry...."
-
"And during my whole life, I have been alone. I had no family... no friends..." She hugs him back, some tears welling in her eyes. She looks up at him. "And then... you came along. Out of... nowhere. Someone to really talk to. Someone to smile with. I have never smiled this much in my life."
-
[b]Ajax wipes her tears away and hugs her even more[/b] "I'm here for you.... I'll always be here for you..."
-
As he wipes her tears, she takes his hand, holding it softly. "Promise me something, Ajax. Promise me you'll never give up on me." She looked, stared, into his eyes, deeply.
-
[b]Ajax nods and smiles warmly at her.[/b]
-
She held his head in her hands, feeling his smooth, warm scales.
-
[b]Ajax runs his thumbs across her cheeks[/b]
-
"In your species... do you kiss..?"
-
"Yup, are we going to?...."
-
She pulled his head towards her own, kissing him, slowly, gently, softly. Her eyes closed, she brought herself closer to him, as close as she could possibly be.
-
[b]Ajax kisses back, wrapping his arms around her and smiles[/b]
-
After a moment, she pulls away, gasping for air. She leans her face on his, laughing lightly. "That... was my first kiss ever."
-
"M-Mine too.... I think we might have overdid it.... Should I be feeling breathless?"
-
"I dunno... but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way..." She takes his hands, holding them tightly, locking fingers with him, like hands while praying.
