What to do now (phae)

[Junpei]

Junpei smiled warmly as she brushed his hair to the side. He glanced at the book that she had set down and then felt her lean up against him, resting her head on his shoulder he leaned his head to the side and restd it on hers. And so they sat there with arms linked and heads resting on each other. Junpei couldn't help but feel that this was right where he belonged in his life, by her side.

"You're to good to me Phae."

Junpei said turning to kiss the top of her head. He rubbed his nose into her hair softly and then turned back to rest his head on hers. He moved his hand and linked his with hers and then rested it on his leg.

Right now all he needed was her gentle touch to feel calm and relaxed, if he ever was angry, mad, furious, borderline psychotic, she would be the one to pull him back to normal and settle his heart and mind.

"Phea... I think I finally found a way to extend my life to that of ... a normal humans...."

[Phae]

She giggled when he began to nuzzle in to her. He was so sweet and so caring. Whenever she even thought about something sad just seeing his face erased the pain or the fear and she would be happy once more. She smiled when he laced his fingers through hers and she heard what he spoke. She sat up suddenly.

"Y-you do? How!" she asked trying not to look too hopeful or excited. But she knew she was failing miserably. She took a deep breath. "Sorry, how do you think you can do that love?" she asked.

[Junpei]

"It'll take some looking into.. but I think if I were to, in a sense, fuse with one of my summons I could extend my life to that of a normal human. Although I still don't know how, and the effects could be me losing part of my personality..."

Junpei squeezed her hand and looked down at her, his eyes serious and looking for an answer from her. He didn't know if he was looking for approval or support but he knew that to do this, he would need Phea to be comfortable with it, because if she wasn't he wouldn't. He didn't want to change the man she loved, not personality not image not morals, he wasnted her to have the same Jun after all of this.

His other hand came over and rested on top of hers, his eyes falling from hers as he tried not to think about it to much. He didn;t want her hurt because of this and he knew that's exactly what could happen.

[Phae]

Phae listened to his every word taking it all in. She did want..more than anything to have this man beside her for the rest of her life. But if he changed...what would she do?

"My love." she said looking up seriously in his eyes. "To extend your life even the slightest amount is something I would be a part of no matter what. I am with you no matter your decision."

She cupped his face in her hand and smiled up at him. His gray eyes drawing her in as always.

"Jun, whatever you need I will find it. Whenever you need me I will be there. I love you." she lifted thier hands and placed a gentle kiss on the back of his before letting them down slowly to his lap again.

[Junpei]

Junpei smiled down at Phae as she spoke and closed his eyes as she kisse dhis hands and then returned them to his lap. He couldn't help what he did next. He took his right hand from hers and broguth it up, cupping her cheek as he gave her a soft yet passion filled kiss. Breaking away slowly he smiled and let his ahnd fall back to hers.

"I lvoe you to, that's why im afraid that if I changeit might dwindle in some way. I love you with every fiber of my being, but if I fuse with my summon who knows what could happen."

Junpei lowered hsi head back down adn rested it on hers, his eyes closing slowly so he could only feel her adn sense her next to him. Rubbing his thumb over the back of her hand he sighed softly and then fell back, pulling hr with him so they laid next to each other. Junpei reached up and set his hand under her cheek, just softly carressing it as he lay with his eyes closed.

"Can we just lay here a while..."

[Phae]

As she lay down with Jun she thought about the words he had said she looked at him his eyes closed and smiled. She knew that even if he changed slightly she wouldn't love him less.

"Jun, my dearest love. If you changed it would only be another part of you to love. I couldn't see myself running away from you for any reason unless you were suddenly hitting me or something." she told him truthfully.

She knew that he didn't need lies or false security he needed the truth from her and she was going to give it. She wanted him around forever. And she knew that if he did this he would most likely change some and so she told him the truth she didn't want him to regret the decision later.

"And this is exactly what I want to do right now." she said cuddling up close and laying next to him pressing herself against him and running her fingers over his chest.

[Junpei]

Junpei's eyes remained closed as he listened to her words. Even the ones about her leaving and him changing. He ddin't let the emotions play otu on his face but deep down he knew he would never do that to her, even if he had to break his own hand he wouldn't touch her like that. AS she finished adn curled up into him Junpei leaned down and softly nuzzld back into her hair, enjoying the feel he got even being near her.

"I would sooner die than have you leave love, life isn't worth living without you here to be with."

Junpei let his free arm wrap around her waist and hodl her there, his body relaxing at her touch, he soon found himself about to drift off to sleep again. So he pulled both of them onto the bed adn laid down on the pillow Loish had yet to claim as his own. Just laying with ehr his body responded by relaxing more and his touch became light as a feather, carefully running under her shirt to sit the small of her back, oh how he loved the feel of her skin under his touch.

"I love you Phae."

Junpei said as his eyes opened slowly and then closed again, his body was fine but he needed time to think things threw, and right now the best place to do that was with Phae in his arms.

[Phae]

Phae lay down next to Jun and stayed silent as she felt his hand move just under her shirt to the small of her back. There he set his hand so gently. She moved as close against him as she could closing her eyes and relaxing with him next to her.

"I love you Phae." he said and she smiled. She would never in her life get tired of hearing those words come out of his mouth.

"I love you too Jun." she replied and nuzzled into him her eyes still shut.

He didn't seem in the talkative mood and she was fine with that. His presence alone was enough right now. She only wanted him to be happy. She needed him to be happy. The way he could make her happy just looking at her just touching her was something she wanted to make sure she could give him back. She ran her hand up and down his waist slowly and comfortingly being quiet letting him decide when he would want to speak.

[Junpei]

Junpei slipped out of contact with his body, in a sense, closing himself off in his mind he reached out for Harlow, trying to find him in the massive void of his own mind.

- in Jupei's mind -

Searching, he seemed to do that for hours but it had only been fifteen minutes, in his mind he opened what appeared to be door after door and finally came across Harlow, or his link to Harlow. Stepping forward Junpei flinched as the image of Harlow raised a hand, a bloody hand. It turned and looked at Junpei, eyes burning with rage.

"Never..."

"Harlow I haven't even-"

"NO! I won't be your catalyst for magic just so you can live with that bitch!"

What Junpei did next would shock and stun Harlow all at once. He walked over and decked Harlow with a solid fist across the jaw, sending Harlow to the ground.

"I swear to god allmighty if you ever speak about her like that I will kill you with my bare hands. I could give a fuck what you think about her and me. You're my summon, if you ever forget that again I will cut every tie I have to you!"

Harlow to say the least had to wipe away the blood that trailed form the edge of his jaw and then try and gain back his composure. He never regained it as his head lowered and he kneeled before Junpei, the sign of submission from summon to summoner. Nerely killing Harlow made Junpei realise something, he was going to stay in control if this worked, at least for the most part. The smile on his face could only be described as huge as he turned and walked out of his mind.

- Outside -

Junpei lay still for a full fifteen minutes before he opened his eyes and looked down to see a comforting sight, Phae clinging to him adn comforting him. Rubbing in small circles on her back Junpei leaned down and put his mouth next to her ear, wispering.

"I know what to do now, and I knwo I will stay in control... Phae, I love you."

[Phae]

Fifteen minutes...fifteen long agonizing minutes Phae spent in silence. She knew something was different about Jun as if he wasn't present in his body. She didn't know what he was doing but she assumed it was important to the topic at hand.

She felt him move finally and she heard the words whispered into her ear and she smiled opening her sapphire eyes to look at him. She cupped his face and leaned over to kiss him gently. It was a sweet light kiss that told him she was happy for him.

"I'm glad love. I will be here for you. When are we going to do it?" she asked.

Excited? Yes, she was the confidence alone in Jun's voice made her fully confident herself that this would work and she could love Jun forever. She wanted to be there during the actual merge she wanted to be there with him through it all she loved him.

"I want to be with you every step of the way, Jun." she whispered.

[Junpei]

That kiss was exactly what he needed right now, he kissed her back and grazed her lower lip with his teeth. He had just put Harlwo in his place, right now he was more confident than at any other point in his life, he was also head over heels in love and the two mixed together to make him almost drunk with love and lust for Phae.

Her words however did not fall on deaf ears and he nodded slowly, showing her that he uderstood completely without sayign a word. She would be there, she would be his strength there and then, but that wouldn't be for almost a week or maybe even two. Junpei would need to research how and exactly what he woudl need to do for this ceremony. Untill then he wouldn't summon Harlow at all, he would need to let Harlow cool off and remember his place.

Junpei looked over his shoulder and noted that it was precisely 11:15 in the morning he had a full hour and a half before he even needed to leave for class. Smiling slyly Junpei leaned in adn kissed Phae in a heated and passion filled kiss, he was sure she woudl be suprised by the quick and sudden action, but in that same instance he slipped his tounge out to run over her lips and hungrily ask her for entry.

In his mind he knew that she woudl probably push him away this time, arguing time and needing to be to class in time, however Junpei wouldn't push it farther unless she accepted him to do so. Right now Junpei needed her, his feelings were pouring over and he had to share them with her, one way or another.

[Phae]

Phae was shocked to say the least at the reaction he had after glancing at the clock. He seemed eager to show his love or maybe just eager to have a rerun of last night but she didn't mind. Somehow when he took control like this she enjoyed it even more because it reminded her how much he liked her...no loved her.

She opened her mouth to accept his tongue and pushed hers into his mouth running her delicate fingers through his hair that was now almost dry. She kept her eyes closed as her other arm wrapped around Jun tightly. Pulling him down to her all the way. She longed for his touch. And this kiss was so passionate. This kiss seemed to convey more emotions than she thought someone could convey in one kiss.

Her body began to come alive under his lips as she kissed him back as hard and as passionatly as he was kissing her. Would she ever get used to this?? she sure hoped not.

[Junpei]

His body reacted in turn to hers and he was losign any self restraint he had. As he broke the kiss he took a ragged and husky breath and an instant later his shirt was gone, thrown to the side in the rush. He leaned abck down and closed the distance between them again.

Junpei felt her hands in her hair, around him, everywhere she touched now he felt ten fold, his body was reacting so well he wondered if maybe he was on something, then realised it was lust. His lips parted once mroe to allow her in and his ahnds roamed over her side and back, he slipped a knee between her legs and then broke the kiss to move to her neck, leaving a trail of wet, hot, and hungry kisses along her neck and all the way down to the top of her shirt.

He let his hands slowly raise the side of her shirt and brush over the skin there, so lightly he was sure she wouldn't feel it. AS his kisses along her neck came to an end he moved to the other side adn left a butterfly kiss where her neck and shoulder met, themn nipped the sensitive skin there. His body was moving on pure instinct now and he could feel the effect she was having on him grow with every passing moent, she just made him feel amazing. No matter what she made him feel liek the only thing adn that made him fall all the more in love with her.

[Phae]

Phae let his hands and kisses roam where they will. Her breathing quickly became ragged as she felt the effects of his kisses. She was already lost in his movements and touches. She ran her hands down his chest and arms she wanted to touch him everywhere all at once.

"Jun..." she whispered his name in pure ecxtasy as he kissed her neck the most sensitive part of exposed skin she had.

****

Skip to 12:30

Time passed so fast when in love and as Phae lay beside the man she loved once more as she had this morning with nothing between then once more. She lay curled up against him her legs interlaced with his her head on his shoulder her hair splayed all around her. Her eyes were closed and the brightest smile on her face would be seen.

"Junpei Taltos. I want to be with you forever." she said happily in a whispered voice as she opened her eyes to look up at him.

[Junpei]

Junpei took in a deep breath as he pulled his lover closer and sighed, happily one might note. He stroked her back softly and smiled noting to himself that her neck was most definately her weakness. Feelign her legs running along his he smiled and then leaned over kissing the top of her forehead. He ahd to leave in fifteen minutes to go to class, which would then claim his time untill about 4:15 when he would come back. He woudl be luckly, but a liar, if he were to say he wasn't going to run hafl the way back.

As Junpei looked over at the clock it read 12:34, he groaned as he realised he had to start getting ready now. Placing one last gentle kiss on Phae's lips he slid sideways in the bed and retreived his boxers and pants. Slipping both on he then roceeded to move and grab his shirt, socks, and then shoes. Sitting back on the edge of the bed he slipped on the socks then shoes, tieing up the laces quickly but nicely. Finally he pulled on his black t shirt and shook his head to let his hair fall as it pleased, his normal hair style.

Looking back oevr at Phae he grinned and leaned over her, his full body over hers he supported his weight on his knees and hands, his face an inch from hers he smiled and wispered.

"Don't forget, i'll be home at four-fifteen or so, then we can grab a bite to eat since it seems lunch got skipped in the end. Although I mush prefer you anyday."

Junpei leaned down and gave her neck one last butterfly kiss and then gave her a soft, loving kiss as well.
