A Date Cut Short (Guess.)

[Phae]

*fast forward to morning*

Phae woke softly in the morning light. The first thing she noticed was that she was warm. She could hear the soft sounds of breathing and for a moment she wondered exactly how she got back to her room and why Junpei had suddenly decided to show. But, that was wrong. This wasn't Junpei it was different. And she blushed knowing exactly who it was.

Her eyes opened slowly and a bright smile crossed her face as she looked up from her position and saw Price sleeping peacefully on the bed next to her. His arm was wrapped carefully around her and she was pressed up against him. Her head had been against his chest through the night. She could only remember hugging him after they had kissed a couple of hours away and so he must have carried her in here.

She moved up slightly careful not to wake him and she kissed his forehead lightly and and carefully so as not to wake him she slid out of bed. First thing was first. She was dirty. So walking to his closet she found a blue silk button down shirt and she smiled. She was going to have to borrow this for a bit.

She moved into the bathroom and started the shower. Undressing from last night and she stepped into the hot water and washed herself quickly. Drying her hair thuroughly so as not to ruin the shirt she dressed in the soft silk shirt that accented her eyes falling down to her upper thigh it left little to the imagination and put on her panties once more combing out her hair with her fingers she stepped back into the main room.

Next was breakfast. Opening the fridge she knealt down and grabbed; eggs, cheese, bacon, and sausage. She moved to the stove silently making sure not to make too much noise. She found the pans and began cooking breakfast. One pan was scrambled eggs with cheese and peppers, the other held bacon crisping up nicely, while the third was taking care of the sausage. Humming softly to herself in his shirt she cooked him breakfast.

And she was happy.

[Price]

The sound of something frying and the wonderful smell of home-cooked food slowly brought Price to a stir. He moved around in his bed for a moment, slowly opening his eyes, trying to get his bearings, as most people do in the morning. He blinked a few times, looking up at the ceiling and wondering just WHERE that smell was coming from. Closing his eyes once more, Price followed his nose, to speak, opening his eyes again and facing the direction his nose was pointing him.

There, much to his delight, was Phae Weiss, cooking up a storm on his stovetop. And DAMN, did she look good.

Price, ever a master of self-control through his years of Martial Arts, was never bad about objectifying women, and was always able to keep himself composed when in contact with girls of exceeding beauty. Something about Phae this morning, however, shot all that to hell then and there. Completely cleaned up and wearing one of his shirts, and only one of his shirts, from the looks of it, Phae looked damn good. Price was getting a wee bit excited, and not just at the prospect of breakfast, either.

He sat up, finally, leaning against the headboard, stretching, and yawning. He then hopped out of bed, heading directly for the girl at his little kitchenette. Doubtless she would have noticed him by now, and thus wouldn't be unaware when, again, he came up from behind her and wrapped his arms around her midsection, just below her bust, and kissed her on the neck from behind.

"Hey there beautiful," he said with a smile on his face. "Hope you slept well."

After receiving an answer, Price would then, with no earlier indication, leave the small kitchen area and drop his pants, looking over to Phae once more to see if she was looking or not. "I'm gonna get a shower," he mentioned nonchalantly, striding over to his bathroom, to find it had been recently used, complete with Phae's outfit from the night before laying in a heap on the floor. Smirking, Price dropped his trunks and stepped into the tub himself, starting up the shower, even with a completely awake and aware Phae just outside cooking breakfast.

[Phae]

Phae had been keeping on eye on her sleeping buddy for some time after she started cooking the breakfast they would later share. Concentrating on not burning it she would every now and then let her eyes flicker over to see if he was awake or not.

And in time her cooking or just nature finally stirred Rich and she smiled watching him wake up in that cute way that he had. It was the only time she had really seen him completly relaxed and not trying to schmooze anyone and she had to admit he was cute. She loved everything about Price. From his cocky attitude he showed everyone to the softer side only she got to see. Both were phenominal and only added to the reasons why she was still here.

She turned back to her food and soon she felt the warm and strong arms of Rich around her and the soft kiss on her neck. He called her beautiful and she blushed as she looked up at him kissing his lips gently.

"I slept better than ever." she admitted truthfully.

The warmth of his arms was soon gone and she looked up in time to see him drop his pants leaving only his boxers. She chuckled and shook her head as he looked right at her as if to say.. did you see me? He announced he was off to take a shower and it sounded much more like an invitation than anything.

Breakfast was done at this point and she put the portions on the plates she found. Rich's plate getting twice as much as hers and she let them sit on the sitll warm burners as she turned them off. Chuckling to herself she slipped into the bathroom and went to the head of the shower. Pulling it back quick she ducked her head in a giggled.

"Breakfast is ready!" she shouted with a laugh she closed the curtain again and walked back into the main room. She put the plates on a tray including silverware and one glass of orange juice each and sat on the bed in an indian style waiting for him.

She fixed the pillows so they could sit back next to each other and eat breakfast and maybe even hold hands like they had just yesterday morning. Yet, this morning might hold more than the last as they were both alone in his room. And she had no where she needed to be, or wanted to be than here.

[Price]

Eyes, closed, Price quietly rinsed himself off in the shower, having just soaped himself down with the bar of soap. All the while, he was quietly musing about the beautiful girl cooking him breakfast in his kitchen, and wondering exactly what he had done, or who he had been good enough to in order to deserve something as amazing as he had found himself in upon his entrance here. He only hoped that, now with this girl apparently in his life, he'd still have the presence of mind to focus on his own studies. While he was pondering this thought, however, the very girl he was thinking about suddenly drew the curtain and poked her head in, causing Price's eyes to pop open and his right leg to lift in a vain attempt to cover his 'private parts' and letting out a very un-Pricelike squeal of surprise and shock as Phae announced that breakfast was ready. Breathing a little harder in an attempt to recover from his sudden disturbance, Price quickly finished up his shower and toweled himself off rather hastily. In truth, he was more than ready for breakfast.

After drying himself to an acceptable extent, Price lazily wrapped the towel around his waist and opened the door to the bathroom once more to find Phae sitting on his bed, with two plates ready for eating. Smirking, he hopped onto the bed from the foot of it, landing cross-legged as well in front of his plate on the tray. He grinned over at Phae as he landed.

"Since you're so eager to get a peep on me, I don't really feel the need to bother getting dressed in the first place. Looks good," he suddenly shifted topics, gazing down at the food before him. "Let's eat!"

Picking up the fork, he began digging into the eggs, marveling with garbled grunts of pleasure at the fantastic result of Phae's cooking.

[Phae]

Price came out in just a towel and Phae blushed. She couldn't help it. Truthfully she had only looked at his face in the shower but it was a lot of fun giving him the shock of a life time. But now sitting there with a towel on only she just blushed.

He quickly dug into her breakfast making moans and groans. She chuckled and looked at his plate. Adding a bit to his from hers she supplimented remembering how hungry he was in the mornings and usually how unhungry she was. She began eating her breakfast with a smile on her face.

She reached over and took his free hand in hers. Entwining thier fingers like the other morning. Maybe it would become a ritual maybe not but she wanted to hold it for now. She ate with her free hand and was enjoying herself. It was nice to wake up with someone for once and it was nice to cook him breakfast and for him to enjoy it so much. She was happy and for once in a long time she truly felt relieved. Just living her life and not having to worry if she was good enough to keep him, if she was what he wanted, if he still loved her.

Eating half her plate she leaned against his shoulder gently and kissed it. Just a soft touching kiss on his bare shoulder her red hair flowing against him as she did so. Knowing how he was she moved back to her spot once more and began eating once again.

"Do you have any plans for today?" she asked curiously kinda hoping they could spend the day together but if not she would understand. After all they had only met yesterday.

[Price]

Price continued to eat happily, pausing only at Phae leaning her head against his shoulder to kiss him gently. To this, Price merely grinned, his hand linked with hers, as usual, leaning his head on hers for the moment she left it there, until she retracted, going back to eat more of her own food, much to Price's amusement.

"Looks like I've got you trained well," he quipped in between bites, eating the food he had been given at his usual, rather rapid, pace.

Phae asked him of his plans for today, to which he could only shrug, voicing his indecision along with the tell-tale sign. "Not sure, really. I'll probably be hitting the training grounds again, I need to really indoctrinate myself into this magical realm you kids call home, and to do that, I'll have to pit myself against more of the different magical styles that are around here. You're more than welcome to tag along if you like. Y'know, to watch your man kick the asses of the so-called 'best' this Academy has to offer."

Price smirked, and finished up the last of his breakfast. Setting his fork down on his plate, he uncrossed his legs and let them hang over the side of the bed, leaning back to rest his head against the nearby wall, a contented grin on his face.

"Pretty good, Lucky, pretty good. Although I wouldn't expect anything less from my date to the prom."

[Phae]

"Dream on Blacky, I'm just hungry this morning." she answered back to him as she continued to eat her meal.

She finished her small amount before too long and set her fork on her empty plate rather pleased with herself that she could eat it at all. As he spoke of the training ground she leaned against him once more. Her head on his shoulder her free hand now came up to softly stroke his chest just beneath the shoulder. Her eyes closed and she just enjoyed his company and his closeness.

"I'd go with you. Show you how you how to kick butt properly." she said with a smile and a chuckle as she continued her soft movements.

He finished his meal and she moved as he leaned back against the wall. She moved to lean against him again their hands still entwined. She kissed his shoulder again like before and stayed against him. She liked this. Waking up and having fun right away. She loved that he was so witty and that he could make her smile regardless. But her eyes jolted open at the words 'prom date'.

She had not expected him to be so blunt about it if he asked her at all. Today she was moving out of Junpei's apartment so the prom had been the last thing on her mind. She smiled though and let her eyes close.

"Too bad my prom date doesn't cook." she chuckled. "But, he does kiss well."

She looked up from his shoulder and shifted so she was in his lap. Blushing slightly from the fact she was only dressed in his soft silk shirt she kissed him. She let her lips meet his softly and gently in a very heart felt kiss as her hand went through his wet hair softly.

[Price]

"He may not cook..."

Price began, but broke off intentionally as Phae climbed into his lap, and he became very acutely aware once more of the face that he was only wearing a towel, and she only his silk shirt and, apparently, underwear. She leaned in and kissed him gently, softly, a kiss which he returned eagerly, kissing her again just as she ended her own. As his own kiss ended, and Phae pulled back, likely at least somewhat oblivious to the enthusiasm she was sitting upon due to the rather thick nature of the towel. Regardless, Price was obviously getting turned on, and with this beautiful girl, scantily clad in your own clothes, straddling you while you've got nothing on but an oversized rag, who wouldn't?

"... but he does know how to keep the kitchen hot."

Price's hands went to each side of Phae's exposed legs, gently running up them and under the shirt, rising up her sides softly to about halfway up her torso before coming back down, slipping out from underneath the shirt again before wrapping his arms around her again and pulling her closer to him for yet another kiss.

Today was going to be a good day.

[Phae]

The kiss was returned with the same sweet softness that she had put into it. She loved his lips against hers and the way he kissed back with that same feeling made her heart beat faster. The kiss broke and she pulled back slightly but stayed in his lap looking at him.

His hands went down to her legs and her eyes widened slightly as they moved up under the shirt. Her heart was pounding in her chest now and she closed her eyes feeling his calloused hands run up her side. Biting back a moan by biting her tongue she felt his hands run back out.

His strong arms grabbed her and pulled her close and into another kiss. One she now returned with a lot more passion than the earlier kiss. The hands under her shirt had done things to her body better left unsaid. Her left arm went around his neck holding her there and her right one explored his chest. Her hand moving over the muscles and the taut skin he had there. It didn't look like this kiss was breaking any time soon as she slipped her small tongue into his mouth to deepen the kiss even more.

Now, the kitchen was steaming.

[Price]

Phae's tongue entered into Price's mouth, exploring around the area there, and Price followed suit, allowing his own to play along with hers. As he did this, he pulled back for just a moment before leaning in again, kissing her just as passionately and fiery, his hands, after having pulled her in close, went down to her legs, slowly and sensuously rising up the side of each one, then back down, the touch of his fingers to her flesh no doubt electric. He broke the kiss again smiling sensuously up at her with almost devilish intent.

It was definitely, DEFINITELY going to be a good day.

*Short fast forward*

It hadn't gotten too far from that point, of course, that Price and Phae had gotten a little more hot and heavy than, apparently, their clothes could take. Through their seemingly ceaseless kissing, Phae's hand had gone to the simple fold of the towel, loosening it from it's tuck into itself, and had paused for just a moment to focus more on the pressing of lips and tongues. Meanwhile, Price's fingers deftly flew over his own silk shirt upon Phae, easily unbuttoning the buttons until the shirt was completely unbuttoned, only covering her more private areas by gravity alone.

Suddenly, however, before any more action was taken, Price's eyes blinked open, and he pulled his lips away from Phae's, smiling just a bit sadly and shaking his head.

"Phae... can we, uh... not do this? Not tonight..." Price said finally, a whole lot quieter than most were used to from the boy. Phae cocked her head to the side, looking down at him quizzically, silently asking for some sort of explanation, it seemed. With that same little guilty smile on his face, Price tried his best to explain.

"See... I, well... I don't know about you and what you've done with your boyfriend, and I ain't gonna ask, but... as for me... I've, uh... I've been around. I mean, I was like a karate rock star, you see, and, well, you know, one thing leads to another and... eh heh," Price let out an awkward little half-laugh. It was killing him to be pouring all this information out to anyone, much less a girl he was within scant moments of going all the way with, but he knew that, for Phae, it simply had to be said.

"I've had my share of senseless fun... and... that... well that's just not something I want with you. I... I really like you Phae. I really like you a lot, and you mean more to me than just some morning of sex. I don't know what the future has in store for us, to be honest... but, if we are to have sex... I want it to be something special... y'know?"

Price let the last words hang in the air, that same guilty smile upon his face as he anxiously awaited Phae's reply to his sudden admission.

[Phae]

The passion was running through her body as Rich's hands worked up and down her legs. His tongue still worked in her mouth and she couldn't help but moan. It was amazing how quickly they were moving. But it felt right as if there was somehow a deeper connection with them.

Her hand instinctively reached down for the fold of his towel and tugged it loose. His hands went down her silk shirt that she was sooo taking with her when she left today. If he let her of course. But she would definatly try. She felt the slightly cooler air hit her skin but she didn't care until suddenly the kiss was broken.

She looked down at him slightly her brow raised in question. She heard his soft voice and she knew that there was something more to this. She stayed quiet and she listened. The more that she listened the bigger the smile on her face grew. He wanted it to be special.

A tear a litteral tear fell from her right eye and down her cheek as she reached up and touched his cheek. She leaned in softly and placed a soft and loving kiss on his lips. Nothing of the passion from before only the loving feelings that she was feeling for him now. She broke the kiss and let her forehead rest against his as her finger ran through his now mostly dry hair.

"Rich, I'm honored, that you feel that way towards me." she said softly stroking his cheek softly and looking into his beautiful eyes. "Truth is, I feel something very strong for you. I want it to be special too."

She kissed his lips in that soft loving manner once more. She didn't know if she had necessarily fallen for him but she cared for him on a deep level, none the less. She buttoned her shirt back up slowly and smiled up at him and wrapped her arms around him and pulled him down on the bed so they lay side by side.

"Hey there." she said softly and kissed his lips in that soft non sexual manner once more. "I'm not ready to leave just yet, think you can put up with me a bit longer?" she asked softly as one hand stroked his cheek softly.
