Memory

[Zeion Lockhart]

Zeion Laughed lightly at her question about a bed time story."No I just feel like staying here next to you. Just being together is nice enough."Zeion said still he continued loking when she looked away he looked away as well he looked back first then he saw her turn her to see his face she wanted to say somethign but what was the question.."You wanted to say something? It's ok to say it." Zeion said as he looked into her eyes he felt something was just perfect in this moment their eyes meeting her being close. It felt almost perfect.

Zeion wanted ot hear what she wanted to say after all he would listen to her. He wanted to know what she was going to say. He couldn't help feeling this comfortable around Tiy he enjoyed not only her beauty but her preasence makes him feel great.

[Tiy Lockhart-Memnon]

He laughed with her and told her that he was just fine with them sitting here. "Well all right then." she smiled. When she turned to look at him and his eyes locked on hers, she wondered what he was thinking. He asked if she had something to say and she thought for a moment.

"I... I just can't believe that you've never been this close to someone... The thought of not being by someone for several years is terrifying to me." She sat up and turned her body to face him. "I want you to stay. Jez obviously likes you and it seems to me that you need a break from your mercenary business. You need to stop running and finally settle down, you know?" She stifled a yawn. "What do you say? Stay here and stay close..." she smiled lightly to him, her eyes gently reflecting the light of the flames.

[Zeion Lockhart]

Zeion now heard all he needed to hear."Of course Tiy. I'll stay as long as you want me to."Zeion said he saw the reflection and smiled."I've never felt this good in a while well before I met you anyway Tiy."Zeion said he used his free hand to take and hold og one of her hands."Here is one way I can thank you." Zeion said and kissed her hand to him it was a Thank you to oppaisite gender that is how Zeion veiwed it. He hoped she understood.

"Thank you so much Tiy. however if you wish we should head to be we are both tired."Zeion tried to his his yawn he looked at Tiy who really yawned. Zeion knew that it was time to sleep.

[Tiy Lockhart-Memnon]

Tiy smiled at him as he said he would stay as long as she wanted. But she knew that it would really be up to him. He took her hand and kissed it gently. She knew that he was thanking her and when he said it, she smiled brightly.

"Of course..." she saw him yawn and yawned herself. "Damn... contagious." she laughed lightly and then nodded. "Sleep sounds good..." she stepped back from him and then bent down to his level after standing. "Good night Zeion!" she gave him a quick peck on the cheek and then walked off to her room after grabbing her book. She closed the door behind her, leaning on it, and hugged the book to her chest. Strange... she thought. She had never felt so drawn to anyone. She put the book back on a table and then climbed in bed, pulling the covers up to her shoulders and cuddling with her pillow.

Maybe some rest would help...

(ooc: okay... i'm gunna leave this open-ended so that you can post what he did at bed time and then i'll post for the next morning. =))

[Zeion Lockhart]

Zeion sat there on the couch touching his cheek. A beautiful girl kissed his cheek he was shocked after all he only kissed her hand. Zeion sat on the couch a few more minutes and slowly went back to his room he stopped to look at her door which was shut."Tiy. somethign tells me we'll be together...forever." He said shuting his door he took off his robe and night top leaving only the pants on he got into bed and slowly fell asleep.

He kpet his thoughts on Tiy the entire night.

[Tiy Lockhart-Memnon]

It was before sunrise that Tiy woke up and was out in the kitchen, wrapped in a robe, and making breakfast. She had all ready washed and cleaned up, but it just felt like a night gown sort of day. She was humming a happy lullibye as she cooked, without magic, for the first time in a long time. She had the table set for two and a pitcher of milk and juice. She was working on eggs, bacon, and potatoes she had cut into pieces.

Jez sat next to her on the kitchen floor watching her with a questioning stare. "So... you like him."

Tiy nearly dropped the spoon and looked at Jez. "Wh-hat?"

"Oh, come on. You like him as more than a friend. He himself even said that he had a feeling-" Jez cut short as they heard some sound down the hall. Tiy stuck her tongue at Jez and Jez did the same back. Tiy laughed out loud and then returned to making breakfast.

[Zeion Lockhart]

Rhat sound was zeion waking up he always woke up with one problem. "ow...ok that hurt" he wispered he alwys hit his hand but it was always healed quick it might have left a bruse but his cuffs are always on and it being so minor it healed quickly. He came out of his room after putting on his shirt and robe. He saw Tiy and Jez. He heard the laugh but nothing else.

Zeion smiled and said."Hello all." Zeion said as he walked into the kitchen he walked up to Jez and scrached the top of Jez head between the ears. He walked up to Tiy and smiled."What are you cooking for breakfast?" He asked as he kissed her cheek."A little something I owe you for last night." He said he was happy he had never felt this happy before. Not since that kiss anyway. His mind was stuck on Tiy he wanted to really get to know her. That and doing that made it feel best. He didn't know why it just did.

[Tiy Lockhart-Memnon]

Tiy smiled as he came walking into the room and greeted them both. He scratched Jez between the ears and Jez's tail wagged. Tiy laughed lightly at the wolf and then almost dropped the spoon again as he came and kissed her on the cheek. She could hear Jez laughing in her head and she couldn't find words. She paused, adding another log to the iron stove and kept going with the food.

"Um... well... potatoes... eggs... and um..." she didn't know why but for some reason, that kiss really threw her off, and she felt a blush come to her cheeks. She couldn't think strait and she stopped and looked at him. "I-" she paused and looked at him in the eyes. Something there said that he wanted her. Not in the way of making love, but in the way that he wanted to be with her and know her.

She waved her hand at the stove and the wooden spoon fixed up the rest, and Jez walked outside. She walked over to him and took him by the hands. Locking eyes with him, she began. "Look... Zeion. I'm going to be honest with you, because you're someone that deserves that after being rejected for so long..." she smiled lightly. "I like you. I really do. I feel some sort of connection with you... And after my heart being broken by men and women before... I.." her eyes that had been wandering, finally locked with his. "I feel safe. I feel... that maybe... if we were something more than just friends... it would work out for both of us..." she blushed crimson and then saw that the food was taken to the table for them and the stove was subsiding.

Her eyes looked down at the floor as the blush stayed. "I know... I made a fool out of myself... I always speak too soon..."

[Zeion Lockhart]

Zeion at first didn't say much then after she was done he knew he had found the girl or in this case woman he has been searching for. "Tiy I like you too. Your no fool I felt the feeling from when you kissed my cheek last night. Tiy I'll be with you from here on in."Zeion said his hand still on her chin he wanted her to look at him. Zeion knew he had to make a seal on something like that.

Zeion bent down to see her face since she was looking at the floor. Zeion kissed her forehead reasted his forehead against hers and spoke from his heart "Tiy. As long as you want I'll remain with you through hell and an ice age I'll stay with you...You are the only one I want to be with now and froever." Zeion knew these were new feelings but yet it felt so natural to say that. His heart was talking through him. Which was oddly a first in his life.

Zeion was now blushing too night as red as Tiy was but if was noticable. He knew that those words must have sealed his promice to stay with her forever..or as long as she wished.

[Tiy Lockhart-Memnon]

Tiy listened to him and when he kissed her forehead and rested against her, she slipped her arms slowly around his waist and leaned back a bit to look up at him. She smiled lightly, seeing the blush on his face and then she kissed both of his cheeks and smiled again. "You can stay with me for as long as you wish..." She scooted closer and then hugged him close.

Something in the back of her mind, however heavenly this was, was taunting her from her past. Mocking her that she had gotten close to someone too soon. She shook that out of her head. No longer would she let either of their pasts haunt them.

[Zeion Lockhart]

Zeion hugged Tiy back he held her closer by moving forward just a little more. He held her he wondered if this was paradise or heaven he had found the girl he has been searching for."I will stay with you always."Zeion said as he just stood there holding Tiy to him. He felt happy to meet the person he was fated to meet.

Zeion didn't even think about food he just want Tiy to know he was here and he planned on stay for good. He could careless for food. Tiy's happiness was the only thing Zeion wanted to see.

[Tiy Lockhart-Memnon]

She felt her chest press against his and she smiled, hugging him tight. She looked up at him and laughed with a great smile on her face. "There is something you have to know though..." She said to him. She wasn't trying to scare him off, but she thought that he should know if he was going to stay with her forever.

(ooc: Sorry it took so long to get back! things have been a little hectic around here!)

[Zeion Lockhart]

Zeion looked at her he saw her smile. He just wanted to take a guess."All right go ahead you know I won't run from anythign you through at me. I already know your bisexual by what you said earlier.. But go ahead I promiced to stay no matter what." Zeion said and looked into her eyes he felt her chest against his he blushed a litle more. If only he had met Tiy sooner.

OOC: I guessed things were wild because you were gone so long.

[Tiy Lockhart-Memnon]

She laughed lightly. "That was it! I wasn't sure if you heard me..." She looked up and saw his blush. She stood up on her toes and kissed his nose. "No need to blush, Z..."

She hugged him close and rested her head against his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart and she closed her eyes. "My mother always told me that people come into our lives, for a reason, bringing something we must learn, and we are led to those who help us most to grow... if we let them... and we help them in return...."

[Zeion Lockhart]

Zeion held Tiy still he began to rub her back he didn't want to let go. Tiy was someone worth spending one's life with and Zeion knew that. As she spoke and ended her words he smiled and said." Your mother is right though and in return for you helping me discover these feelings. I want to help share them with you." Zeion paused oddly his dad came to mind.

"Give a man a fish you feed him for the day. Teach the man to fish you feed him for a lifetime. Why did that line just come out like that?" He looked down to Tiy he knew that was the way his father tought life lessons giving odd lines which often made little sence. "Tiy Let me show you how much I care for you." Zeion said he waited till she was going to look at him. He planned on kissing her.
