Daily Check-Up

[yaoiwafflez]

K'ryn tried to hold back his laughter.
"The end of you, huh? Darn dragons, always messing in our lives. Never any privacy, because they're alway there when you're thinking something...strange?" Was he able to tell what she was thinking, or was he just being his usual incredibly lucky-guessing self? Likely a little of both. He'd seen that blush and that uncomfortable emphatic denying of things before. Faizah was thinking something good. He chuckled and tried his best to wipe the haughty smirk off his face.

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah caught the look on his face and did the only thing she could think of. Being her un-naturally immature self she stuck her tongue out at him. Just like a five year old child would do to a playmate who was teasing her. After a moment Faizah remembered herself and quickly pulled her tongue back into her mouth, her eyes shifting side to side. Then she gave K'ryn a friendly glare and spoke. "Wipe that smirk off your face..." As she spoke Faizah stepped a little closer to him, until she was just within arms reach.

Surth gave Synth a look that obviously said their humans were being very entertaining indeed, and that he was enjoying the show.

[yaoiwafflez]

K'ryn's smirk only got bigger when the young woman stuck out her tongue.
"Don't stick out your tongue unless you're planning to use it for something." He said wickedly.
"It's just not nice." He closed the distance between them, poking her affectionately on one shoulder. "And I think I'm pretty justified in my smirking, missy!" He said playfully, taunting her with the nickname.

Synth sighed happily, and returned Surth's amused look. She clearly agreed.

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah was very tempted to stick her tongue out again, but then the name he called her penetrated. "Missy? Now I'm a silly green flit?" Faizah's head was cocked to one side in curiosity, very reminiscent of a confused puppy. As an after thought Faizah returned the poke to her shoulder, poking K'ryn playfully in the chest. After she poked him she burst into laughter until tears leaked out of the corners of her eyes. She wiped them away with one hand as she put the other hand on her hip. She was trying to regain her composure and her ranking.

It wasn't working.

[yaoiwafflez]

"Silly green flit, silly little Weyrwoman; what's the difference?" K'ryn said. Or tried to. The laughter was infectious, and Faizah just looked so...ridiculous. And when she tilted her head like that K'ryn just wanted to pat her on the head like a kitten.

He managed to choke out a few words though. "Alright you win, but only because I can't breathe, you." He said trying to sound serious. Which also was not working.

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah laughed once more, but then something strange happened. She made the uncommon choice to look into his eyes... And got lost. She had the sensation of being pulled, and then she was falling into those brown orbs of his. Deeper and deeper into the depths of his eyes.

She had read about things like this happening, in her overly romantic books, but never had she though it would happen to her. Never had she dreamed this would happen to her. And the feeling of drowning in her brown eyes was strange, but at the same time a type of thrill.

She leaned closer, her sense of balance very much off. To try and regain a semblance of her balance Faizah rested one hand on K'ryns chest, not even noticing that she was doing so. She sighed, vaguely surprised to find that she had been holding her breath.

[yaoiwafflez]

K'ryn's laughter trailed off as he caught Faizah's look. She seemed...entranced, maybe? But he let out a long sigh as he watched her, noticing the slightly ditant look in her own emerald-green eyes, sweet and almost innocent. Actually, it was cute...

He smiled, just slightly, and his laughter turned from amusement to affection. When the weyrwoman fell forward, he instinctively reached out his arms to steady her, not realizing until she touched him it was unneeded. He smiled faintly and put his own hand over hers.

"You alright?"

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah nodded her head slightly, blinking a bit sluggishly. Or was it dreamily? She felt like she had been sucked into one of her romance novels, only the books didn't do justice to the romantic, foolish feeling she was experiencing.

At the same time she felt like an idiot. K'ryn seemed to be just fine, yet she was swooning like some school girl with her first crush. She wanted to shake her head, to clear the cobwebs, but she found any real movement out of her ability.

Suddenly she had an image in her mind of her and K'ryn standing close. His hand was buried in her hair and he held her tenderly as he kissed her. Faizah felt her face go red slightly; she knew that Surth had projected the image to both she and K'ryn.

[yaoiwafflez]

K'ryn was strangely happy with the way Faizah was acting. it was cue, alsmot...tender. He kind of liked it. She acted like she was a star-struck weyrling...maybe she was.

He absently brushed a strand of her red-auburn hair from her face, his hand brushing her cheek as he did so. He liked the way they were; her skin was soft, and just slightly warm, and she was so close. He felt a sort of strange feeling as his stomach dealt with the butterflies, and he was once again shocked by how different this was from anything he'd felt from Synth's flights, but how sparking and electric it was anyway.

He couldn't help it; he pulled her closer without meaning to, sliding the hand on her cheek across her face and down her neck almost like a caress, gently. He had the strongest urge to do something, but for once in his life, the playboy couldn't react; she made him as nervous as a weyrling.

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah's heart skipped a beat as he pulled her closer. Her own stomach was filled with butterflies, and in response to her nervousness the hand that was resting on his chest bunched a small amount of her shirt up, into her fist. She expected her heart to be racing and her breathing to be gasps, but everything seemed so calm and in slow motion. She reveled at the feel of his hand on the back of her neck, and a few goosebumps arose on her arms. She found herself leaning closer to him, rising onto her toes slightly.. So close the tip of her nose touched his lightly and she was falling into his eyes again.

She wanted to do something, anything. But her mind was blank. Years of memorizing the cliche ending to all such scenes, and her mind was blank. Blissfully blank.

[yaoiwafflez]

Okay, so he wasn't imagining it. He'd been unsure at first if this was going anywhere, and right now? Signs were looking good. Faizah leaned into him, and he shifted his arms to wrap lightly around her waist.

The invitation was there, so what was he going to do with it? Take the initiative, or let the moment pass? Did he really want to let the chance slip by? A half-lidded look at the redhead in his arms, and he had his mind made up. Not a chance.

He leaned in, smiling ever so faintly. One hand slid to tangle in her hair affectionately and he tilted his head to place a gentle kiss on her lips; tentative, as if he were afraid she might pull away. But he kind of hoped she didn't.

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah smiled as he kissed her. She felt a burst of happiness, or joy, as their lips met. But he was being too gentle, too hesitant. Without another thought Faizah reached up on her toes more, deepening the kiss and wrapping her arms around his neck. Yes. This was more like it.

As the kiss deepened Faizah played a little with the ends of K'ryns' braids at the base of his neck. She also tried to tickle his neck a little, having seen her mother try that with a few lovers before. In fact, if Faizah sat down and thought long and hard, she could remember quite a few tricks her mother had used. Faizah silently laughed. That was a tempting prospect...

[yaoiwafflez]

K'ryn smiled involuntarily. Now that was better. He certainly couldn't say no to that, now could he? He followed her lead, making a rather pleased noise as she tickled the back of his neck. That was kind of nice, he decided. His arm around her middle tightened a little more posessively, and he pulled her to him. His other hand ran through her hair, down her back, fleeting and definitely teasing.

I certainly do not want to interrupt, mine, but do remember where you are. One of the doctors is staring.

[FaizahPandora]

Indeed. One of the doctors are staring, minedear. Surth told Faizah.

Faizah felt shivers run up her spine as his hand ran down her back and she gave a soft groan. When Surth interrupted Faizah growled in frustration.

So distract him. Go get your check-up. Faizah curtly told him. She heard him seem to chuckle, but he moved over to have his exam.

Faizah tightened her grip around his neck. But remembering Surth's warning Faizah gently pushed K'ryn backwards slightly. There was a very convenient dark corner behind him...

[yaoiwafflez]

((lol. Love it.))

Synth snorted as she received a rather annoyed message from Hers. Shaking her head in a classin 'oh, dear, not again' motion, she edged over to rather convinently block any view.

I owe you, beloved. K'ryn sent back to her, quite serious. When Faizah pushed him back he went willingly, catching on to her idea pretty quickly. He continued to run his hands along her shoulders and back, carefully and softly, seeing if he could possibly illicit another one of those rather sexy moans from her. She was...far more intruiging than he'd thought, and damn but she was fun to kiss like that.

[FaizahPandora]

((Ooooo... Devious thought... XD ))

Faizah shivered as she broke the kiss. She needed to breath or else she was going to faint from oxygen deprivation. She was gasping for breath, but suddenly got a very devious idea. She had been reading too many books...

Faizah moved her mouth from K'ryns' and rested her head on his should for a moment. Then she began nibbling on his neck. She also ran her nails along the base of his neck, gently of course, but he could definitely feel it.

[yaoiwafflez]

K'ryn made a soft moan of approval as he felt Faizah at his neck. Oh, that was nasty of her; but there's no way she could have know how much he really enjoyed that beforehand, right? No...she was just incredibly lucky. Or sinisterly devious. He couldn't decide which.

He growled quietly as he felt her carefully scratching his neck, and he couldn't take it anymore. He pushed her back and spun them around, so she was the one with her back against the wall. With a wickedly teasing smirk, he began to nip at her ear, then kissed his way along her jawline down her neck, carefully scraping his teeth against her collarbone in a gentle bite.

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah gasped and shivered. Who knew getting bit on the collarbone would feel slightly ticklish? Then she noticed that she was the one who's back was against the wall. How did that happen? And when did she lose control of this? Hmmm, that was an interesting turn around... Faizah thought to herself.

Having caught her breath Faizah put her hands on his neck and gently urged his mouth back onto hers. She loved the feel of his mouth over hers. It was simply heaven.

[yaoiwafflez]

K'ryn couldn't have known what Faizah was thinking, but he agreed. She was...enticing, exciting, and far more interesting than almost anyone he'd met before. She'd slapped him, after all. And it hadn't even been during a mating flight...he was deeply interested in this woman.

He was more than happy to return to kissing her, drawing her into it like he couldn't get enough. And right now, he couldn't; he was completely lost by just the feel of her, the way she smelled, and good heavens, but the way she kissed him. It was always nice to feel wanted. And he made it as clear as possible that he felt that way.

[FaizahPandora]

((Mood swings much...))

Faizah had never felt so wanted. Never felt so interested in a man. There was something about K'ryn that caught her attention and kept it. It wasn't his outrageous braids, nor his playboy attitude. Maybe it was simply his sheer confidence...

Thinking back on just the past few moments, Faizah already found herself acting differently. She had slapped him... The only person in years she had willing had physical contact with. And she had continued that contact... What had she been thinking? What was she thinking now?

She was making out with a man she barely knew! She was no better than her mother... Faizah panicked.

She pulled away from K'ryn, breaking the kiss. She was trembling violently as she placed her hands on his chest to push him away, then realized she was touching him again. She pulled her hands quickly away and held them close to her own chest, holding them there in fear they might wander back to touching him.

Memories assaulted her mind, further upsetting her. Feelings of disgust and self-loathing assailed her, bringing tears of hate and frustration to her eyes. She cast them to the ground, still trembling, but unable to look at K'ryn again for fear of losing her small clutch on control.

[yaoiwafflez]

K'ryn was jolted out of his far more pleasant thoughts of Faizah, and warmth, and, well, Faizah when she abruptly shoved away from him.

Damn. Something had gone through her thoughts like a thunderbolt, and he could already tell it had left some sort of damage in it's wake. (Metaphorically speaking, of course.) She was practically hugging herself ans she seemed absoluteley terrified of coming into any sort of physical contact with him. Shards, that was bad.

He carefully took a step back from he,r giving her a little bit of space; he was still withing easy reach, but there was no chance she could feel trapped if she felt the urge to run off or something. He almost reached out to bursh a tear from her face, but he hesitated.
"Hey. You...what's going on, Faizah?" He said, quietly. "I'm sorry to sound pushy, but that was a pretty abrupt change. Are you anywhere even close to alright?"

[FaizahPandora]

"I'm sorry." Faizah whispered. She began to move away, leaving the Infirmiry, but was stopped not even a foot from where she had just been standing.

Do not let her control you any longer! Surth's voice rang loud and clear through her mind.

Faizah flinched visibly, cringing from the sheer strength in the white's voice. She turned to look at Surth with all her demons swimming just behind the surface, reflected in her emerald eyes. Surth had known her mother, had lived with her in that hell for a short period of time. He of all should understand why Faizah couldn't, wouldn't, become like her mother.

Memories, blurred and distant, flowed through her mind. Scars burned and pained again, and old mental wounds pulsed and reminded her that they were there. Not fully healed and ready to burst open again at the slightest provocation. But just as she felt her control over the demons slipping, Surth was there.

Surth projected her memories of his own and hers together. Happy memories. Ones that thrust the demons back into the darkness and numbed the wounds of time past. Faizah thanked him before she turned back to K'ryn. She cast her eyes downward, still unable to look him in the face, but willing to try to make things right again.

"Will you meet me tonight in the Main Hall? I will explain everything then." Faizah asked shyly.

[yaoiwafflez]

He seemed unsettled by her change in attitude, but when she seemed to clam down some, so did he. He nodded, and then tentatively reached out and clapped her shoulder; not too familiar, but enough to get his point across, that he was still there.

"Of course; anything you like."

((Failpost. New thread perhaps?)
