vieraofinaba | Open Post: Yua Narukami

[ If he wasn't a snug enough ass already, her reaction just then was like adding fuel to the fire. ]

Flattery will get you anywhere, my dear.

[ If he was going to show her how to take care of a partner he was going to take it slow to start. There was no need to rush things. And so he held out a hand for her to take, a silence question to if she was ready to begin. ]

[Such a smug man. Yua can't help but grin as she sees that hand held out to her. She's ready for this and takes his hand without a word, letting her body movements do it for her.

'Show me.'.]

[ Words would only be in the way now. Once he felt the comfortable weight of her hand in his own, he drew her in close, his free one taking its place on the small of her back. His lips found hers in a slow kiss that gradually deepened.

All thoughts of the rejoining and the plans ahead were pushed aside in this moment. He had said he would teach her and he planned on doing so. For now, for this one night, all of his focus and attention was all on seeing just what would make the warrior in his arms succumb to pleasure. ]

[There will be no duties from either one of them tonight it seems, just focus on the only two in the room. As if they were in their own little world, closed off from the rest of it.

His kisses feel sensual to the unexperienced warrior as she allows him to explore her mouth, letting her free hand feel the body his coat had hidden. Yua was always a curious one and this is something that has her intrigued.]

[ Feeling her hand explore his body made him grin just a little when he broke the kiss. It sent a small shiver down his back and as if in reply he gently nipped at her lower lip. This sort of curiosity must needs be encouraged, it was part of the learning experience.

Allowing himself a bit of searching, Emet-Selch brushed a hand against her shoulder, gloved fingers trailing down her arm and then finding a place at her side. In small motions he gently massaged that spot of her hip through the fabric of her nightwear, paying close attention to any sort of reaction that would come of it. ]

[She can't help but hum lightly as he rubs that particular spot on her hip. It feels rather pleasant enough that she leans into the touch, not a sweet spot but not wrong in making her feel good.

But Yua's curious about her own possible discovery as she lets a finger gently move down from Emet's neck and further down his spine. There's an attempt at least.]

[ While he continued to massage that area of her side his other hand took careful hold of her chin. Tilting her face up allowed him a better angle in order to kiss down her jawline, slowly making his way to her neck. He would linger every now and again, biting gently here and there to gauge her response.

A low sound of approval was muffled against her skin at her touch. Between his shoulder blades was one of the more sensitive spots of his but he held back that information, instead wanting to see where her little exploration would take her. ]

[Yua makes soft little gasps when teeth meet her flesh, the sensation she feels as if becoming lightheaded. Thankfully there's a sturdy anchor keeping her on the ground and not wanting to let go anytime soon. Although she has to wonder if he ever gives her a hickey how to hide it from other eyes. She's brought back from her thoughts when she feels Emet bite down on a particular area of her jawline that makes her feel like seeing stars.]

O-ohhh, that~!

[That feels divine. His touch to her hips is still wonderful but oh kami that sensation-! Yua almost misses his own sound as she reaches right between his shoulders but her finger stops when he makes his approval known. She needs not to remove the cloth on him to make him feel good given his own work on her but one finger becomes two as she cannot help but put some pressure down on that particular spot and let them move, to massage it like how he's working her hip.]

[ Of course he's going to take every bit of pride in each gasp he hears. Abandoning his small task of massaging to wrap an arm around her middle he continues to hold her up, clearly pleased with himself judging by the grin on his lips. So of course he kisses and nips at that spot again as he cataloged this newfound information to memory. ]

That's it-- that's what I want to hear...

[ But he wasn't the only one to succeed tonight in their endeavors. A satisfying hum slipped from Emet-Selch when she found that sensitive spot. Reflexively he held her a little tighter before bringing his face back to hers to steal another kiss. ]

And you are following along quite well too.

Ah~!

[She gasps again, a warm sensation filling in her chest. So that is what happens when a so called sweet spot is pressed; she has to wonder how he reacted given his satisfaction but it's a bit hard to think or speak when Emet's lips are again on hers. So definitely good but it's when she shuts her eyes, she feels like she's taken away from her room in the Crystarium. No, she doesn't know where she is because it's not the spires this time she sees but a person. They're holding her in the same way, their mouth on her neck but she can't see their face.

'Now?! Really?!' Yua can't help but think, wondering if the Echo is more of a pain in the ass than she thought. But this person...they feel familiar. Too familiar...]

[ The kiss lingers a moment more before he speaks again, his tone low but onvious with how confident he was thus far. Not to mention pleased that she was so willing to follow his lead. Oh there was so much he could-- would --teach her. And this was only the start.

He brushed her bangs aside to better study her grinning. ]

Would you be more comfortable sitting? You seem to be somewhat weak in the knees.

[She didn't even realize her legs were giving in. It was a good thing someone noticed otherwise falling on hard floor would be extremely awkward.]

Y-Yeah, that would be a good idea.

[It's her turn to take the lead as she guides them to the bed in the corner. Surely she wouldn't get another Echo tonight, the fates can't be that much of a pain to her. That and the bed is the furthest away from the open window so no one would be able to peek in.]

Sorry, I thought I was a little more stronger.

[And damn that memory flash.]

[ Emet-Selch follows her to the bed, allowing himself to be pulled along to the more secluded area of her room. He noted that something had her distracted and it wasn't just because of the activities at hand. His brow furrowed slightly but said nothing at first.

The ascian waited only until he was seated on the edge of her bed did he look up at the viera and give her hand a careful pull, motioning for her to sit on his lap. ]

That is hardly something for you to apologize for.

I'm just used to being able to handle things most of the time.

[A quiet admission as she shifts herself to fit on the ascian's lap, letting herself to press a kiss to his hair. She then lets a finger roam around Emet's jawline as she looks at him...only to get another flash. It's the same person as before but she can see beyond their mask, to catch their eyes and she silently gasps.

'Is that...?!']

[ Such a tender display would have made him laugh at any other time. His arms wrapped around her middle to hold her steady, while he leaned slightly into her touch. But it was that look of recognition that made him pause.

One hand moved to cover hers as he observed her, silently inquiring with an arched brow, not realizing he was holding his breath. ]

[The flash ends and Yua sees Emet looking at her, as if he is waiting for something. That nagging thought once buried in the back of her mind now chanting it as if it were a prayer: Remember. Was she? Does he know about it?]

I saw something, no, someone. They were holding me like this wearing a mask and robe. And just now I saw them again but I was able to see more to them.

[She breaths in deep.]

They were your eyes I saw.

[ It was if time had stopped all of sudden. His golden eyes slowly widened as what she said clicked in his mind while the arm around her waist pulled her against him, his chest rising and falling once more when he remembered to breath. ]

You are certain of this?

I'm positive.

[She doesn't even stop to think, she KNOWS this to be what she's seen.]

There's no way those eyes could belong to anyone else or feel like this. It was you I saw.

[ The conviction in her voice gave left little room for him to doubt.

With how the pair was positioned, when he leaned forward he was hiding his face above her collarbone, now holding on to her almost desperately. Not a sound was made on his part. Just the gravity of the moment now bearing down on him and it was taking time for him to settle his thoughts that were now caught up in a storm. ]

[He knew her. Not just as an ascian slayer or the Warrior of Light and Darkness or that one weird person popping holes in their plans but he knew her. Yua didn't have any times where she questioned who she was: leader of the Investigation Team, Hope of Earth, Truth Seeker, Hero.

But this time...it's not any sort of manipulation on Emet-Selch's part. Not with how he's reacting to her speaking up. But Yua cannot help but wonder: if he knew her long ago, was she also like him in some ways? Was she also an ascian?]

You knew me before all this. Just who was I?

[ At first he did not answer. Emet-Selch had lapsed into silence and only embraced her. That was all he could do, really.

She had been someone of great importance, one of the most gifted and talented of their kind-- someone who had, for one reason or another, seen him as something more than just an architect and member of the convocation. Someone worthy of her love.

And she had been the one too--

Drawing in a shuddering breath, he suddenly pressed a kiss to the patch of skin beneath her collarbone, above her cleavage. ]

I cannot tell you. [ His words muffled, barely audible. ] You must remember yourself.

[ But how he ached to tell her. The brunt of the truth of it all would be too much to handle in just one night though-- not unless she could find the memories herself. ]

[If Yua was nothing but impatient, she would express her stance greatly. However, she can sense the reasoning behind Emet's answer: to remember everything at once may cause harm to her soul and lose herself to confusion.

At least how she can see it, he wants her to know but not harm her in the process.]

But you want to say don't you?

[One hand rests on the base of his neck, letting a finger make circles on his skin.]

It's alright, I can see why it cannot be forced out so much. But now that I am beginning to see the threads, there is no way I cannot just ignore them. But I can say that when I do remember, it's when I'm with you.

[ Finally, finally, he lifted his head and his gaze sought out to meet hers. Gold eyes that were normally amused and arrogant lacked as such. There was no sign of him releasing her anytime soon. ]

Then stay. Stay, with me.

[ His voice was just barely above a whisper. ]

[Her eyes widen at the words. The phrase is simple but to Yua, very loaded. She has an idea what he means by it and she's unsure how to respond.

"Stay with me."

In order to do so, Yua would need to break the ties she already has. That means leaving the Scions and the Exarch, to let the First die in this tainted Light and watch the Eighth Umbral Calamity hit the Source...many lives lost, including hers. But she doubts they would let Emet-Selch stay by her side, probably waiting to shove many sharp things in him.

Except for Minfilia. The girl is too sweet despite living with Thancred.

If this was asked when she was heading to the Rising Stones from Ishgard, it would be easier to accept it. But Yua can't help but look back to Eureka and her decision with Eijika, how she and Krile had to talk about loss and how to deal. There was bickering and then the Echo stepped in. Krile saw every important event from Yua's adventures in Inaba and the TV World to her hardships in Liminal Space and her adventures in Eorzea.

And when it ended, the lalafell could only stare at her in shock, asking the question Yua still has no answer to: "After all that hardship and pain...how are you still able to function?"

Emet's line feels a lot like what Krile asked; something she cannot answer easily. She looks downcast, her hold on him tightening because this is something she cannot simply say yes to. But she won't deny this either.]

I want to. Kami knows that my feelings for you go beyond words but I cannot simply leave this place to die. Not when there is still a chance left.

[She can feel tears start to form from the corners of her eyes.]

They told me that someone had a vision of the future...of the Eighth Umbral Calamity happening. And with it came many deaths...including mine. I know your stance on the Rejoining but I do not think you want to spend another few thousand years trying to see if I come back. Not when we just found each other now.

I want to stay with you...but I know I can't just let things go like this. There has to be another way-!

[ Oh how he desperately wished to argue against this. This shard, these people-- they were mere fractions of their people, of what was once they're beautiful home. They were not worthy of her empathy or concern. Even as he reached up a hand to wipe away the tears that were glistening in her eyes, he wanted nothing more than to whisk her away to Amaurot to show her that it would be worth it all-- just to bring back their people.

But as things stood now, it would not change her mind. Memories of when they fought with one another over the summoning of Zodiark and the actions that resulted of it resurfaced. She had not understood then and she would not understand now.

He was desperate though and wanted to cling to this moment. ]

Stay by my side this night. [ He brushed a thumb across her cheek to catch a tear that threatened to fall. ] I have never lied to you-- I cannot tell you about your past. Not in words at least. But I can show you what you meant to me. To us.
