Friends? (closed)

[Phae]

Though Phae was impressed by the room she did not take her eyes of Junpei as she watched him make the nether fire again and use it to start heating water. Amazing...she thought in her head and smiled. He moved and sat on the bed asking her to join him.

"Yes, I would love to." she said and smiled brightly.

She unhooked her sword from the belt at her waist her stomach showing briefly but she didn't even realize it. She took her precious sword her family heirloom and set it in the corner figureing on not needing it for a while. She walked to sit next to him and sat down a bit close leaning back so she could see the stars.

Her red hair fell back and hung a little as she looked up at the artfully created ceiling.

"I just can't get over how beautiful it is. I might have to hire you to decorate my own room." she looked over at him and blushed giving him another smile and a giggle.

She was sitting much closer to him than she had originally thought. Her heart began racing as her sapphire eyes connected with is own fantastic gray ones. They were beautiful in of themselves and she found herself mesmerized by them. She swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat. Was she attracted...oh yes, yes she was.

[Junpei]

Junpei was just getting over his blush when the beauty before him showed off her midrift and Junpei was slipping backwards on the bed. Quickly recovering from the fall Junpei coughed a couple times to clear his throat from the large lump that he coudl have sworn was his heart. As she walked back ovr and sat down close to him Junpei saw her lean back and show off her body once more. Leaing back a little himself Junpei laughed as she talked of him decorating her room. Looking over at her he caught her eyes in his and he froze, she was.. a beauty undefined by anything. He couldn't seem to find the words to answer her suddenly and he was beginning to feel as if his throat was dry.

"Umm... soo..."

Junpei found himself leaning in a bit.

" ... so... how .. how did your.."

He was inches from her now and the words dried up, she was just drawing him and he couln't help but be pulled along.

[Phae]

Phae's mind wouldn't work her heart was on overload and she couldn't stop looking into those deep gray eyes. They were beautiful as was he but his eyes seemed to hold her so strongly. She watched as he moved in closer she wondered if he was going to kiss her. She had seen so many of those romantic movies and it always seemed to happen like this. Girl meets boy the fall in love fast and suddenly BAM the first kiss. Phae had never been kissed before and her heard beat even faster if that was physically possible as she moved in as well.

She heard him stutter and then stop truth was she only half heard the words he spoke she was so lost in his gaze. She swallowed hard.

"How did what?...." she whispered so lightly it was almost not uttered. She really hoped he would touch her just a hand, a finger, something she was lost in his gaze living her every moment there in those grey depths.

[Junpei]

"How did you get so beautiful?"

Junpei closed the distance between them and pressed his lips down on hers, softly, ever so softly and let his hands slide across the bed to hers, runnning over it softly. He didn't even know what he was doing, he was just acting on what he though t was best, right now his mind wasn't even working right, his heart was pushing him forward. Hell in his mind his thoughts were so jumbled by his first kiss that he doughted if he would ever sort them out.

The first kiss seemed to go by so fast he didn't realise it had happened till it as over. He pulled back slowly and grazed his lower lip with his teeth, he could almost taste her on his lips. What he didn't know was that now his hands was on top of hers and holding it lightly, trying not to break contact wit her.

[Phae]

"How did you get so beautiful?" she heard these words right before he moved to kiss her.

Her heart leapt into her throat as his lips touched hers. She returned the soft kiss and felt his hand creep over her own. Her eyes were closed her light red lashes laying gently on her cheek. She had never been kissed and when he pulled away she couldn't have asked for a better one.

When he pulled away she bit her lower lip as her eyes opened and she looked up at him. She looked into his eyes and a large smiled crossed her face as her pale skin turned bright red.

"Amazing..." she whispered staying close. "Absolutly wonderful."

It was only a moment before she regained herself. She smiled brightly and threw her arms around him in a hug. She was so happy.

"That was my very first kiss. Thank you." she said in his ear excitedly.

[Junpei]

Junpei smiled softly at her words and then let his arms slip around her in return to the hug, he held her tightly and didn't dare let go untill she pulled back. As she spoke into his ear Junpei let a small smirk form over his lips as she mentioned her first kiss.

"It was mine to, and I have to agree one-hundred percent."

Junpei let his hug lighten adn pulled back to loko her i the eyes, she was gorgeous, he couldn't ave asked for a better first kiss either. For someone he had known for shuch a short time she was... a breath of fresh air that he desperately needed in his life. Hearing the cups moce on the stove as the water began to boil Junpei almost graoned and pulled back, standing up as he did.

"Lemon tea alright? Or do you have a specific type you ike...?"

Junpei slowly walked over to the flame and killed it with a flick of his wrist, the water stopping it's movement a second later. Pulling out a package of honey lemonfor himself Junpei dumbed the bag of tea leaves and ground seasoning into the cup, the water instantly taking on a soft tan brown color.

[Phae]

Phae was reluctant to see him move from right next to her but the spell broke when he turned to take care of the tea. She still liked him...liked him a lot. Having me the boy not twenty minutes ago and he had already kissed her. But there was nothing wrong with that in her mind. Truthfully she liked him a lot and only hoped he wasn't going to use her but actually liked her in return.

"Yes, lemon is fine thank you." she said finding her voice when he asked about the tea.

She watched him with his back turned to her. He was really good looking firm and toned. She placed her hands in her lap not really knowing what else to do with them feeling suddenly a bit awkward after the kiss but only because she was already wondering when the next would come.

"Do you need help?" she asked and standing walked to stand beside him looking up at him but reminding herself to blink this time.

[Junpei]

"Sure thing."

Junpei opened up a second package of lemon and poured it into her glass, the results begin the same as the first. Pulling the bags out a couple of times he let the fresh teas mix with the water and bring it to just the rigtht flavor. Smiling Junpei now had two empty bag's of tea leaves. Thinking now was the opportune time to wow this woman before him he turned to her and smiled. Handing her her glass he placed both the bags in his hand and let Nether Fire Enveope them. Then he used his new Nether Flare spell to insinerate them, the result was Nether Snow.

"Nope, you've already helped em enough."

Junpei smield at her and then placed a hand on the small of her back, pressing her gently to move back to the edge of the bed, where Junpei would sit and take a sip of his tea. It seemed that the majority of people here drank tea, of course thousands of years of mage tradition couldn't be wrong, could it?

"So what did you have in mind for redeorating?"

Junpei said with a soft grin. Maybe in this woman he would find someone he could trust like family, more than family even.

[Phae]

Phae sat back down after he directed her back to the bed. She sat down next to him again as they had been earlier and she sipped the hot tea.

"It's very good." she said cocking her head to the side as she smiled. Her hair falling across her shoulder.

She took another sip as he asked his next question.

"I really am not sure. I've never had my own room that in of itself will be hard enough. But as for decorating I would be thrilled to have a ceiling anything like your own." she said looking up at it again as she spoke of it. "So beautiful."

She took another sip of her tea trying to think of whatelse she would want done.

"I guess I would want something that reminded me of my home. A scene on a wall of an open feild or something of the sort. Problem is my artist talent is in the red and so it's likely to remain as it is." she sighed and lay back on the bed her feet still touching the ground. She set her tea cup on her stomach but kept her hand on it as she looked up into the ceiling.

"What do you do here? I mean for fun?" she asked turning her head to look up at him.

[Junpei]

Junpei thought about her request, the ceilign was hard enough once, twice might be easier, or it might prove to be a bit harder, it was impossible to tell. The wall was the same way, it was all a matter of basically using magic to display a picture. The thing was that then Junpei would have to keep that image ingrained in his mind for a while to set it. As she lay back Junpei looked over his shoulder at her and couldn't help but let his eyes roam up and then down her figure. Turning back around looked at his cup and took a long drink, almost emptying the thing in one shot. The sweet honey and lemon mixtured raced down his throat and soothed him inside and out.

"I could probably do both of those... as for fun.. I can't exactly say I get out a lot..."

Here is where women usually dropped him like a lead weight off a hot air balloon. He was dull, in most senses. Sure he rained, but most of that was done in his room, were the limited space also made his mind think about new wasy to work out. He had done handstand pushups, those lasted about a week and his arms gave out. However Junpei was also a book worm and a wrokaholic at times.

"Well... I guess we could go out to the courtyard on this end of the dorms..."

[Phae]

Phae sat up when he said that he didn't get out much she finished her tea quickly and smoothed down her shirt.

"Well then. We'll have to fix that won't we." she said smiling brightly at him once more.

She stood up and took his cup and her own placing them back in the area he had taken them from. She turned back around and walked back to the bed sitting next to him for the third time since they had met. She looked over at him.

"Where would you like to go? There is the city, the movies, the shops, coffee stores, book stores. Almost anywhere you might like to go is there, or so I've heard." she said excitedly using her fingers to represent each one. She was looking for him to meet her eyes once more and hopefully he would want to spend some more time with her if she wasn't terribly annoying.

[Junpei]

Junpei watched he walk across the room with his cuo and went to protest but was at a los for words. As she sat back down next to him Junpei looked over at her adn watched as each finger was used to reresent adn item. At 'bookstore' his eyes perked up a bit and he smiled.

"As good as that sounds, i really would like to stay here and get to, well.. know the girl i stole a first kiss from."

Junpei gave his same nervous laugh and scratched the back of hsi head again, his eyes slipping closed. He was amazed at what she was doing to him, already she had made him think about what he was doing, what... he wanted for himself He was thinking about how he wanted to take her up on that offer to go out on the town and take her on a date. Of course he would be a long time comining to work u p that courage, he was amazed how he had just kissed her out of the blue.

"You should probably know, now before later... that I don't exactly have the best... personality around most people... i'm amazed at myself at how.. well I can act around you..."

Junpei gave her a warm, yet soft smile and let his hand slip over hers again.

"I can't tell what it is about you.. but.. im relaxed around you.. amazingly much so."

[Phae]

Phae smiled at his comment on wanting to stay here because really she didn't want to leave. She would of course love to actually date Junpei but for now she was comfortable just getting to know him. She smiled up at him as if to tell him she didn't mind that he had kissed her but her smile fell when he talked about his personality.

She turned on the bed and took both his hands in hers. She squeezed them both gently before looking into those mesmerizing eyes once more.

"I think your personality is perfect. It's unique which makes you all the more attractive actually. You aren't like every other guy in the world you offer something completely different." she offered him a kind smile. "Now I know you are thinking that I only just met you and don't really know you but you are different I can tell and I like that."

She blushed and looked down for a moment as he spoke about being able to relax around her, but the memory of those eyes made her look back up again.

"I am glad you can relax I usually am pretty happy go lucky go where the wind takes me and all that. Today the wind brought me to you and I could not be happier. I just hope I'm not too happy and annoying you."

She looked down at her hands embarrassed and worried that she was going to drive him completely nuts by the way she acted.

[Junpei]

Junpei listened intently as she spoke, his eyes making sure to take in all of her and still focus on those sapphire pools now and again. Smiling at her final comment he slipped one of his hands free and then used it to softly raised her chin. As soon as she was looking up at him he would close the distance and place a soft kiss on her lips again, this time letting it linger. His eyes were closed and before he knew it he was pulling back again, letting them open slowly. He smiled sweetly at her and nrushed the back of his hand across her cheek, feeling the warmth in her cheeks made im somehow long to be with her all the more, and before he knew it he was smiling as if she were the only thing in his world.

"You're... amazing..."

Junpei could only say that as he blinked, remembering that he had to in order to keep from staring at her face and eyes for to long.

[Phae]

The second kiss was as good as the first. Her heart was beating in her chest hard against her ribcage. She closed her eyes as his lips touched hers for the second time and she could not breath. The kiss lingered this time and as soon as he backed up she wanted to move and kiss him again. But her eyes closed again when his hand brushed her cheek. She leaned into his carress. When she opened her eyes again she was greeted with the most wonderful smile she had ever seen.

She reached her hand up and carressed his own cheek as he spoke his words. She blushed as she heard them but didn't take her eyes away from his.

"I could say the same." she whispered. She blinked but it seemed the spell was stronger now and for her blinking didn't seem to stop the spell from taking over. Her hand still rested on his cheek. "I've never felt like this in all my life. So amazing how you can feel so strongly after just meeting."

Her eyes were locked on his and she had to bite her lower lip so she wouldn't kiss him again so soon. She didn't want him to think she was easy though every time he touched her lips with his own it was getting harder not to want to touch him and kiss him even more.
