vieraofinaba | Open Post: Yua Narukami

[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.

[She bites on her lower lip, at first in fear of what may come but they're unfounded for now. He's still here and no one is yelling about how the other is wrong so that counts as a win.]

I wasn't planning on leaving your side tonight and I'm sticking with it.

[And then he offers to show her more and Yua won't lie and say she isn't nervous. But she has not been one to shy away from wanting to learn more.]

If words can't express it, then show me. Let that do the talking.

[ His response came in the form of a silent nod.

Emet knew she was nervous-- after all, he had promised to teach her how to be intimate at a slow and easy pace, which he still intended to keep his word of. Carefully pushing her bangs aside, he tilted his chin up to kiss the corners of her lips before trailing them up her cheek. ]

Do you trust me, Yua?

[ It was the the second time he had used her name in as many days and it was still a peculiar sound in his ears, yet this was not the time for titles. ]

[It's still weird to hear her name come from his lips but it's definitely welcome. She smiles and cups his cheek in return.]

I trust you.

[ Leaning into her hand he let out a low hum of content. ]

Thank you.

[ And he truly meant it.

With care he pressed a kiss to either cheek before capturing her lips in a slow, languid one. He made sure to keep her steady with his arm at her waist while he sought to pour every bit of his conflicting, raw emotion into this kiss. A gentle nip her, a soft whispering of her name there. He could remember the countless ones they had shared in ages past but he never tired of them. Of her. ]

[Yua didn't need to know about aether to know that the feelings shown were the real deal; the unspoken words and the motions could explain everything she needed to know. She can feel love coming out like a wave, the warmth and joy taking over the two of them as she returns his kiss, deepening it as she tightens her hold on him.

'This is love then?' she thinks. 'I welcome it fully.']

[ Emet-Selch had to remind himself again and again to be slow and mindful of her comfort but he was pleased with her responding to him with equal affection. He took care to allow the kiss to last as long as it could.

Gently, carefully, he started to ease himself back upon the bed, keeping her close as his back finally met with the mattress with her on top of him. He even tried to coax another response from her by running his hand through her hair and brushing against the base of her ear. ]

[It's instinct she supposes. Follow the leader maybe and try to judge weither it's too far or just right. When he lowers them both down on the bed, Yua can't help but ponder how many have seen him like this. Surely he's had children and therefore lovers before but she can't help but think of who watched him from above. It's amusing to think that somehow she is practically on top of the same person who could do anything with a snap of his fingers.

But then again, she is following this dance which Emet leads. And those skillful hands touch the base of one of her ears and Yua feels like seeing stars. It feels almost like when he found her first but this one feels more intense. There's a sharp gasp as she uses one hand to grip the sheets tightly, to try and hold herself steady and not to fall on the man.]

Oh Kami-!

[ There it is-- a pleasing response that he had sought for. Grinning as he pressed a quick kiss to her lips once more, his fingers continued to stroke that exact spot at her ear.

He quite liked the view above him and continued to lavish attention upon his partner at this new angle. His kisses trailed down her cheek before finding purchase at her throat, deliberately pausing every now and then to whisper her name against her skin. ]

Calling out another's name like that is hardly fair, my dear.

[ His complaints were only in jest after all.

... For the most part anyway. ]

Tease!

[It's said with a giggle as he continues to stroke her ear and oh the sensation is wonderful. Yua's resisting trying to moan loudly again given the window is still open.]

If I didn't know any better, you want me to be putty in your hands.

[Good lesson to learn, honestly. She did ask for it.]

[ He laughs after another kiss before ceasing in stroking her ear. There was a look of feigned indignation when he meet her gaze once more. ]

Surely you jest! I certainly haven't the faintest notion what you're going on about.

[ His reason for stopping though was to shift his hold around her middle so that his hands could switch places, allowing him to stroke her other, unattended ear now. ]

Whatever gave you that idea?

[She's about to retort but his hand is now working on her other ear and the words become lost. If this keeps up, she would be at his complete mercy. But there is that small voice in the back of her head asking if it was such a bad thing. Honestly...no, no it wouldn't be bad but she didn't want to fall onto him!]

Aaah~! If you keep that up, I may be-!

[ For a man so fond of the theater, it really should be no surprise he could be a clever actor when need be. He hid his devilish curiosity behind a wide eyed look of surprise, all the while remaining unrelentless in his attentions. ]

You may be what?

[Oh hells, he's going to have her say it isn't he? Yua can only pray that this won't bite her in return.]

I may very well be putty in your hands.

[He's not letting up she feels and it would be denying her own feelings if she said she wanted it to stop. Quite the opposite as Yua can feel the heat begin to form in her belly.]

[ The corners of his mouth turn up into a smirk. Seeing her try to maintain her composure was a sight, and it made it all the more satisfying to hear her admit such a thing. ]

There now, nothing to be ashamed about. Honesty has its own reward you know.

[ As if to follow through on this statement Emet-Selch lifted his head to kiss that one spot along her jawline once more. Reducing the great hero to such a state thrilled him. ]

[He wanted her to admit it, the little shit.]

I suppose it does. You're lucky I like you.

[It's deeper than attraction, she knows for sure but what Yua just said...she feels like she said before.

"You're lucky I like you-"

So she was cheeky in another life, that doesn't surprise her. The idea of being someone else long ago doesn't freak her out nor does it make her scream about an identity crisis. Suppose it's due to dealing with personas and them being parts of her soul that she can ease into the idea. It doesn't change who she is overall.

It's when his lips are on her jawline again that she shivers with delight.]

Mmmm, how needy you seem to be.

[Her tone is light but while he's going on the attack, Yua can't help but let one hand roam his chest, her fingers searching for an entrance to get underneath that damn shirt of his.]

[ He was terribly needy. He was a selfish creature who knew what he wanted and would do anything within his power (which was very impressive what with being an ascian) to grab hold of. At this exact moment in time what he wanted was the woman in his embrace. ]

You haven't any idea just how much I need you. Want you. Crave you.

[ Each of those sentences were punctuated with a kiss, his tone low, almost a growl. Her fingers trying to fumble with his shirt was met a chuckle and a hand reaching down to assist.

Who would have thought a few buttons could prove to be so troublesome? ]

[Need...Want...Crave...

The words usually reserved for her only if they wanted to put a blade through her gut. But not this time. Each word, each kiss given makes Yua's head swim with new feelings wanting to be explored.]

You're right that I have no idea. But I want you to show me.

[He's guiding her hand to undo those pesky buttons and once they go off, she cannot help but admire the view from above.]

Oh, well now this is quite a look.

[ And he had every intention of showing her for however long he could this night. Memories of distant nights past resurfaced in his mind and he was curious if there was anything from those evenings could offer any pleasure for her now.

Once she had his shirt opened, Emet rested his hand on his stomach, lazily looking up at her through half closed eyes. ]

I do prefer the more 'comfortable' look. It is merely by chance that I wear the look rather well.

[ Grinning now, he held up his hand suddenly, and just long enough to snap his fingers, but not before saying: ]

A look that I think would be quite fetching on you.

[ At the sound of the snap, she would find herself very much lacking her sleeping wear top as it would have simply vanished. ]

[She could feel no cloth over her upper half, the blush on her cheeks darkening as Yua suddenly realizes that other than her panties, she is completely exposed to the ascian below her. Yua takes note of how he's looking her over and can mentally sigh in relief that her glamour prisms were still in effect. Ok, she can work with this.]

Comfortable or rather curious to see me exposed?

[There's a upwards tug of her lips as she lets her fingers memorize the contours of Emet's chest.]

I do hope the sight is pleasing to you...I know I'm enjoying seeing this.

[ His response was a slight shrug of his shoulders coupled with a simple: ]

Yes.

[ Yet he cannot help the shiver he felt from her touch, though his expression remained un-phased. Instead, golden eyes were focused entirely on the viera woman straddling him, taking in every ilm of the body above him. Even in the dark he could see her perfectly. What mattered to him was the soul within the vessel-- but there was no denying she was quite beautiful. But of course if she was going to take the time to map out his body with her hands, it was only natural for him to do the same.

Bringing one hand to his mouth, his teeth took hold of the end of a gloved finger, giving it a tug once, twice-- and on the third he was able to remove the garment entirely. All while keeping his eyes one hers. And once the glove was dropped to the side he reached up with his bare hand to explore her bare figure. ]

Absolutely breathtaking, my dear. I really should have done away with your garments sooner.

Well, we were supposed to be taking it slow but we can be both impatient, can't we?

[She should apologize again but was she? Not with how she is hovering over Emet and giving him a slow kiss before trailing down to his collarbone, lightly nipping his skin. She hums, content at his own bare hand moving over her exposed body.]

You're intoxicating, do you realize that? And it feels as if I cannot get enough.

[ There's a small hitch in his breath as the roles have switched. He remained still as Yua lavished this attention upon him. She truly was a quick study. ]

There is no need for reservations; tske all of me for tonight I am yours. And you-- [ The hand ghosting over her body came a stop under her breast,fingers curling to cup it. ] --you are mine.

Yours...yes, I am.

[It's spoken in a hushed tone, as if Yua were praying. She's about to continue but stops when she feels those skillful fingers cupping her and she's seeing stars again. She can feel the heat building up more and she's desperate to cry out but refuses to do so. Like hell she wants to let people know what she's doing here, someone she knows could be walking by and hear her. The woman doesn't bite down on her lip this time, instead crashing her lips over Emet's in the need to keep quiet.

'And I am at his mercy again. I don't know how much longer I can take before-!'

He was right. She is falling fast but she isn't afraid. Not now.]
