What to do now (phae)

[Junpei]

"Soon, soon I promise."

Junpei closed his eye sand leaned his head on hers, his hand moving aroudn under the table to rest on her knee. He close dhis eyes and took a shallow breath, letting it out slowly.

"I really hope he likes you, he's usually not one to like people who get to close to me. That's why I wanted you to meet him on Monday as well. Hopefulyl with so many people around he'll be more calm. Trust me though, he'll like you, it just takes him time."

Junpei gave her knee a soft queeze and then went to work on his egs and ham, quickly devouring them he sighed contently and shook his head, getting his hair in 'place'. Smilign over at his love Junpei rubbed his head against hers and then spoke softly.

"You're right though, I should teach him Japanese...."

[Phae]

It seemed there were going to be a few people in Junpei's life she was going to have to get to know slowly and try to supress her hyperactive personality. She was glad though that Jun was going to teach Negi Japanese because she thought that it comeing from his mother through Jun would mean a lot to the younger boy.

She sighed inwardly and felt the comforting touch of Jun on her knee and his head next to hers. She smiled practically beaming under his attention. She began to eat more knowing he would only force her too if she didn't do it on her own and she finished a bit more before leaving half deciding she was full.

"So what is on the agenda for today Jun?" she asked looking up at him her sapphire eyes going directly to the gray pools of infinite attraction as she now thought of them. "Do you need to be alone for a while or anything? I'm here for you no matter what and if you do need me to leave just send Loish for me and I'll come as fast as I can run, which I might add is quite fast."

She gave him a wink and a smile and waited lost in his eyes as per normal for his answer.

[Junpei]

Junpei thought hard about that one, did she need to be around? He should let her get out and meet her own friends, get to know other people arudn the school and have her own lfe. He suddenly felt very selfish having kept her cooped up with him for the past two days. Biting his lower lip he cracked his neck by merely looking down at her, that had hurt a tad bit.

"You can come back if you want, I don't want to keep you locked up all weekend.. you have your own life..."

Junpei ran his hand softly up her leg and let it finally rest on her thigh, his hand never left, for once he felt liek if someone left he was going to be alone again. He knew however that she wouldn't be with him her whoel life, she would have to havea life of her own. Even if Junpei did go on to teafch here at teh academy or become a base mage, she would probably want to havea normal life with all those tings she had before she was going here. For Junpei life here was better than at home, here he was accepted. For her.. Junpei didn't know what to think, ad she been a really popular girl back home, was she someone who needed friends around her?

[Phae]

Phae sighed loudly and looked over at him about to answer the comment he had made when she felt his hand rise up her leg to her thigh. She swallowed hard somehow that simple touch here in this public place was making her blush making her think bad thoughts. She shook her head and looked up at him.

"Don't do that." she whispered. "Don't assume that I want to push you away. Jun I love you I just don't want to be in your way is all. I want you to be able to concentrate. If I never met another person in my life and never left that room than with you I would live a very happy life."

She told him leaning her head against him sliding her hand up his leg to the same spot on his leg as his own was on hers. She moved so that she leaned against him her eyes closed at the moment.

"I love you Junpei don't ever assume you are not enough for me. You are more than enough and perfect in every way. I want to spend as much time with you as possible I just don't want to hinder what you need to do so you can become bonded with your summon is all." she frowned and looked down. "I just...don't want to be in your way."

[Junpei]

Junpei cold only smile softly and nod as she spoke. She would be happy with him and him alone, he would be happy with her and her alone. Junpei coudln;t have been happier as he fingered the ring on his left hand. His thumb idl twistign the ring around his finger, he couldn't help but feel that he would be getting her something soon. It wouldn't be anything to spectacular, not yet at least, but it would be special adn it would be unique. Most of all it was going to be something that he could make on his own, without the aid of magic or anything but his own two hands, he already had an idea of what he was ging to make her.

Smiling Junpei rubbed her thigh with his thumb, going in soft circles on the sensative skin iof her thigh. He rubeed his head against hers and sighed, hapilly she would notice.

"You couldn't possible be in the way my dear, not in any way. Let's go back, there's something I want to shwo you, adn I have something for you as well."

Junpei stood and grabbed both their trays, he quickly threw both away, and then returned. Taking her hand in his he lead her back out into the halls, his hand once again on teh small of her back.

[Phae]

The thumb creating small circles on her thigh made her putty in his hands. She melted enjoying the touch of his hand on her thigh as she sighed trying to not faint right there from all the emotions and sensations running through her body. She heard him sigh and she followed suit and then he said he had something for her and something to show her.

She was excited very excited it was easy for her to be excited when gifts were involved but a gift from Jun would mean the world to her and when he came back taking her hand she was even more excited as he helped her up.

She knew that now everyone would know that they were dating and as they watched them walk out together Phae couldn't help but smile. The noise level rose once more as they left the room and Phae giggled. They made thier way back to thier dorm room and upon entering she took off her blade and placed it on it's rack before sitting on the edge of the bed looking up at Jun expectantly.

[Junpei]

Junpei smiled as she sat down on the edge, her body seemed so delicate to him but he knew far different. Walkign over to the closet he reached int othe top and grabbed what appeared to be a book, it was in fact hollow and was where Junpei kept everything important to him, the most valuable stuff at least. With the book having been ut in the top Junpei always knew where to find it and it was never moved unless by him. Smiling to himself as he broguth the thing to eye level his back remained to Phaedra, his body blocking the book. Opening it up liek you would any other book he let the contents of the box display before him. In there was some emergency cash, about 500 dollars in a small roll, a small knife in case he ever lost his other one, and several other assorted small objects. Brushign threw this small pile of miscilaneous objects Junpei came across what eh desired. He bit his bottom lip as he fingered teh small object, trying to decide if now was the right time or not. He wanted to give her this, he needed to, but was he ready himself? If he did this there would be no going back on it, never. Finally sighing to himself Junpei closed up the book and put it back.

Turning back to Phaedra Junpei bit his lip again and walked forward to her, kneeling down in fron tof her he placed one hand on her cheek, softly pulling it bac he let his fingers slide softly over her skin, the same way he had time and time before. Taking in a deep breath he let it go slowly and took her left hand in his own, in one motion his hand came up and slid something onto her left ring finger. His eyes lowered as he let her hadn go adn he looked down. There was one thing that he would never let go from either of his parents, adn that was their wedding rings. Junpei couldn't believe that he had forgotten them last night. They were so easy to forget though, having been out of his life for 3 years.

"Phae... I think my mother would have wanted you to have this..."

-ring-

[Phae]

Phae watched Jun as he stood in front of the closet and looked through something that she couldn't see. Her stomach was flipping in her body she was nervous she could tell by the way that Jun was standing that he was contemplating something. She bit her lower lip as he put whatever it was away and turned to her a serious look on his face.

Her heart stopped when he knelt down in front of her and her breath caught in her lungs as he carressed her face with the softest expression on his own. She looked down at him as he took her left hand in his own and she couldn't move she was stuck in place as he pushed a ring on her finger. She listened to his words as a tear fell from her eyes. Her lower lip quivered and she threw herself into his arms.

"Jun.." she whispered speechless for the first time since they had met.

This action alone had meant more to her than anything he could have done. His mother's ring...

"I can't..." she said still unable to find the words she could use to express what this meant to her.

[Junpei]

Junpei caught Phaedra as she fell into hsi arms and held her lower back and ran a hand threw her hair at the back of her neck. He could only shut his eyes and listen as she tried to work out a response, his own words came out barely above a wisper, hos was he going to say that she couldn't, or that she wouldn't wear that ring. Giving her his mother's ring was all he could do for her right now.

"Phaedra... I know she would have wanted this. I kow in my heart that she would have given you her ring... like her mother did."

Jupei slowly picked her up and sat down on the bed, Phaedra still attached to his neck, he wouldn't let her leave that position for a full minute, just holding her as he stroked her hair and let her sort it out in her head. How was he supposed to act now, he ahd no idea, he just knew that holding her felt right.

[Phae]

Phae felt him pick her up one of her favorite things and move them together onto the bed as he stroked her hair and held her gently as she tried to find the words to say. The words that she could use to express what this meant to her. It took her several minutes before she looked up into his eyes her own teary ones watching him. She swallowed before she began.

"My dearest Junpei." she whispered another tear falling down her cheek. "There are no words to describe what you have given to me and how I feel inside at this phenominal gift. I know what it must have taken for you to give this to me and I can only promise that I will cherish it beyond all else. For it is not only a symbol of your love for me but a symbol of your trust."

She moved in and kissed him ever gently on the lips cupping his face.

"I could never give you something that would mean as much to you as this ring means to me." she said on the verge of tears again at the guesture.

[Junpei]

Junpei coudl only hold her and stared back into her eyes, how he hated it when she cried, for any reason. He listened to her words adn smiled softly, his hands moving up to brush away tears now and then. He couldn't help but kiss her back harder when she kissed him. Her last few words left ehr lips and he pulled her all the way onto the bed, supporting her weight in his lap adn cradled her softly and wispered soft sweet nothings in her ear, ever so carefully he would kiss her cheek adn nuzzle sinto her neck, it was all he coudl do for his love right now. Calming her was the first thing he woudl have to do.

[Phae]

Phae didn't cry long it wasn't her style she never did cry long. Even as a child Phoebe would cry for hours on end and Phae would sit there happily only crying every so often. It helped to be wrapped in the comforting arms of Jun though here it was so hard to cry here it was so hard not to smile all the time. She reached up and wiped away her tears a smile returning to her face once again.

Inside she felt like she was going to burst with how happy she was. Not only the ring but everything together. Him, her love the one that mattered above all else. She moved away but didn't leave his lap.

"Jun, I could never thank you enough for what you have done for me in my life. In these short days I have known you you have filled a part of my soul that was missing. And now..you have changed me but for the better. I am the best I can be when I am with you." she said.

She closed her eyes and kissed him gently in that spot he loved so much. Kissed him three times one for each day they had been together three soft kisses that were filled with more passion than anyone would think possible.

"I love you." she whispered her hot breath running against his neck as she kissed him once more.

[Junpei]

Junpei Taltos could only smile and shiver as his love gave him more and more attention. He wondered just how long his vow oudl last, at this rate maybe fifteen more minutes. He heard her three magical words and he wispere them back, his hands moving to on the small of her back, his right supported her weight on him, his left hand moved down to her thigh again, rubbing in the same soft circles he leaned his neck to the side.

"I love you, oh Phaedra how I love you."

Junpei couldn't even think of anythign but her and himself right now, his own eyes were slightly teary, she was his everything adn he knew that he would remain with her through think and thein, good an dbad, right and wrong. He would live because of her, he would be alive because he had someone who finally trusted in him.

[Phae]

Phae heard those three words that never failed to get her heart to jump into her throat and she smiled brightly once more. The tears were gone and she looked at her ring smiling she knew from this moment on she would never take it off. Forever it would remain on her finger no matter what happened. She kissed him gently on the lips.

"You should probably begin your work right?" she asked.

Truthfully she didn't want to move from his arms but she knew they needed to work on his bond or they would forget and it was something she wanted more than anything. She wanted him to live and live forever. She wanted to be with him forever.

She hugged him tightly her red hair falling around him as she stayed in his arms for another minute before she moved brushing his lips almost teasingly with her lips.

[Junpei]

Junpei smiled as she moved and brushed her lips over his own, almost teasing him with her movements and touch. He couldn’t help his next action, which was to pull her back into a deep kiss that had his tongue sliding into her mouth and his hands working on either of her thighs, rubbing in the small circles that he knew would drive her wild. He would keep his vow; naturally he was doing this as much for himself as for her. Her words had hit something in him, work, he really didn’t want to go work, he would prefer to stay here and play, but he knew there was no escaping the fact. Breaking the kiss he gave her one last circle on each thigh and then slipped out of the bed, his legs hit the ground and he was already moving.

He quickly crossed the room and grabbed three books off of his desk, all three summoning books. He also grabbed some notebook paper, a pencil, a pen, and an eraser. The next several hours would be dedicated to work and if Phaedra was in the room he was going to get distracted to easily. Walking back over to the bed he set the books down and sat down next to her again, his hand coming up to cup her cheek. He smiled at her and then pulled her forward as he leaned forward, he gave her on e last heated, hungry, and passion filled kiss before he sat back, speaking crisp and clear.

“Phaedra dear, could you maybe go shopping? I think you not being here would be best. As much as I would love to have you here, I can’t . You know why, because if you remained, I wouldn’t get any work down.”

As if to enforce his point he leaned forward again and brushed his lips over her neck, softly nipping at the skin next to her pulse point he could only nip and then kiss, fearful of pushing it farther. Junpei reached behind him and grabbed his first book, then set it down in front of him, he could still taste her on his lips, he had to start working or he was going to give in.
