[ With every kiss she gave he would match them with equal hunger. He craved this closeness-- this heat-- the way their aether entwined with each others. The sense of familiar comfort came through, only adding more fuel to the fire that was his desire.
What started off as slow thrusts to help her adjust were now beginning to pick up a touch in pace. When she wasn't kissing the hell out of him he could commit to memory every detail beneath him: her flushed body, her soft lips, her voice. ]
You feel-- [ a hitch in his breath ] --feel magnificent...
[This would be something etched into her memory for the longest time; after all, no one forgets their firsts. He's her first here and she has a strong feeling it was the same in a life long ago. And Yua wants to commit to her memory every hushed word, every sensation, every touch that made her feel special. Not just a hero and savior of the worlds but just a woman in love.
Kami forfend, the notion is still strange to her. This man comes into her life and suddenly they're sharing a passionate night together. Maybe deep down for years, she was waiting for him to show himself and it happened to be several universes away. The wait however seemed to be worth it in her mind.
He moves and she follows, this intimate dance for two and she lets her voice go with each thrust. Emet wanted to hear her voice and hear it he will. And maybe anyone walking by the window.]
[ Like a man desperate to quench his thirst under the sun, he pressed another feverish kiss to her lips at the tail end of her sentence, a low moan gathering in his throat. Her voice was intoxicating and her body so responsive to his every touch and thrust of his hips.
Should anyone happen by the window, her voice would not have been the only one they'd have heard: a moan here, a shuddering gasp there. Her name fell from his lips over and over again, matching the tempo of their coupling. One of his hands moved to slip under her knee and lift her leg enough to allow him a different angle when she enveloped his shaft. Just as he had done before with his fingers he was seeking that sensitive spot within.
Everything about this reminded him of the first night they had spent together. A different world so distant in time. Yet such distance was bridged in their union now that he felt his chest tighten for but a moment. ]
Just like this. [ His voice was filled with an ache not unlike how his body felt. ] I need you to show everything to me.
[She's cut off when her position is shifted slightly and throws her head back, feeling the lines between the Crystarium room and the past blur. Emet's voice echo's in her mind and she takes care to watch those molten gold eyes stare into the whispers of her soul, his hands moving gently and exploring, his lips whispering a name as if it were a prayer. Her name. And yet it doesn't come. And he moves deeper within and it makes Yua's soul feel like soaring to the heavens.
And she moans like it is the softest silk to fall from her lips a name not known to her until just this moment. What she has been wanting to know and then shown by her own memories. The scene snaps back to her bedroom as she then realizes what she had said:]
[ The sound of his name snapped him out of his lustfilled haze and his hips came to halt, still deeply connected with her. With wide eyes of gold he stared down at the woman in his embrace, frozen.
She had spoke his true name. Not his title. His name.
When he finally found his voice after a silent pause, it might have come off as a surprise that it was trembling slightly. ]
[Her eyes widen, having that fearful moment that what she did was completely wrong. Yua swallows the fear and looks straight into the man's eyes and answers.]
Hades...[A hand moves from its spot on his back and cups his cheek.] That is your name...right?
['Oh Kami, please tell me I'm not wrong!' is all she can think.]
[ He lifted a shaking hand to catch her wrist, his fingers sliding into the spaces between her own and leaned into her touch. Warm. Soothing.
When he finally found his voice it was no more than a whisper. ]
You remembered.
[ Squeezing her hand he turned his face to kiss her palm. Memories came in waves as moments flashed across his mind. The gentle sounds of her laughter when masks were cast aside when they met with an awkward but pleasant exchange of names. ]
[It was the right thing to say after all. Yua is still trying to remember everything in her past life but seeing the raw emotion of just his name...even those immortal can have feelings. Can cry and anger and even love. She's the one catching these glimpses and her heart is soaring.]
[ How long had it been since he last heard his name? Too long, perhaps. Pressing another kiss to her palm he then nuzzled that same spot. Softly he spoke her name though in his mind her own true one rang out. He was desperate to speak it but she was not quite there yet.
When he looked into her eyes he felt the desire return. He was very much aware of their position and Hades was longing to hear her repeat his name over and over again. He continued grasping her hand but moved them so that they were nestled in the sheets above her head. Hades then leaned forward so that he could rest his forehead a top of hers. ]
Only you can call me by that name. No one else.
[ His half-lidded gaze stared deep into her eyes when he rolled his hips forward again. ]
[She has an idea as to what her name was but that would be best learned on her own. Although if she is right, Yua will need to question how apart universes really are.
She refuses to let go of his hand as their pace begins again, Yua saying that name in between kisses.]
[ They continued their dance above the sheets. He didn't stop in his pursuit to bring her to the edge a second time, especially when every other sound of her lips was his name it only made him burn with desire even more. As great as his need to release was, he eas prioritizing her needs first. The longer they stayed like this, he thought, the better the chances of her remembering.
With care he guided her leg to wrap around his waist so that it would free his hand to reach for her ear. Fingers combed through her silver hair for a moment before they found what they were seeking.
And all the while his aether wrapped around hers with no sign of releasing. ]
[His aether feels cool to the touch, a stark contrast to her own as she can feel it begin to mingle with hers. Was this something because of who they were? Or who she was? All of this is such new knowledge that Yua can only try to keep up in the hopes to not get lost. He moves her like a marionette but her free leg joins her other as Emet's-no, Hades's-touches make her cry out again, his name not leaving her lips for a second. She has no idea how much power she has at this moment or how much danger they may be in due to this. Something is telling her, more like a hunch, that knowing his true name means much more than what she can see.
And besides, people may see bedding an ascian despite both being consenting adults as an extreme sin but when has Yua ever been a wide eyed innocent? Wasn't she technically one too?
'Kami forfend!' she thinks to herself as Hades continues to hit that particular spot, her walls tightening around him and making her lightheaded. Other than his name, Yua manages to gasp out something:]
[ What others would think of her decision to lay with this ascian did not matter to him. Then again, much of what others said or didn't matter. It's not as if they meant anything to him. The only one who mattered at all now was clinging to his body as he maintained the pace of his thrusts into her heat.
'C-Close-!'
Her words managed to ring through his addled mind and it only stoked the fire within his core. He knew he would give way soon but not before her. He needed to hold out just a bit longer. She was making it terribly difficult though, with how tight she felt around him.
Moving his hand from her ear to chin, Hades hungrily kissed her lips. She tasted so sweet-- better than any wine he had ever had when he was Emporer, and even more intoxicating. ]
Keep your eyes on me. [ His voice was rough and strained, but commanding all the same. It was thrilling to watch her so close to an orgasm and he wanted to commit every last detail to memory. ] Let me see you come...
['So good! Please-!' Her mind isn't thinking in complete sentences right now, only going on feelings and her lover's movements. Her eyes stare straight into his as she can feel the need grow from within, to feel that sweet release once more. Her aether feels as if its faltering...no, rather submitting to his as she can feel it crash over like the ocean's waves.
Matching his kiss with her own, letting her teeth nibble on his lower lip as she brings her legs up and pushes upward in one final move. The excess heat leaves her again and her aether is overcome by his as Yua reaches her orgasm, letting him (and anyone else around) know who managed to bring the Warrior of Darkness to this state.]
Hades~!
[Her entire body presses into his as it were a glove, a perfect fit as she breathes deeply. She wouldn't forget this night...it would be hard to after this point.]
[ He wasn't long to last. Hearing her cry out his name in the throes of passion made the ache within unbearable to hold back any longer. It only took a few more thrusts of his hips before he buried himself to the hilt and followed after her release with his own, her name falling from his lips in a groan. Gripping her hand as he came all Hades could think about was how wonderful it felt to be connected with her-- and not just in the physical sense. She had not resisted when he had reached out to her with his aether. In fact, she had accepted it, and in turn it had only heightened the sensations between them.
Hades eased himself onto his side after a spell with arms wrapped around Yua to keep her close, his chin resting momentarily a top of her head. His chest rose and fell in heavy breathing as his body waited out the high that came from their coupling. But upon hearing her little declaration, the ascian found the strength to smile that wicked little grin of his, seeking her for a brief kiss, but lingered so that when he replied, his lips brushed against hers with every word spoken. ]
And no one else's.
[ Had he mentioned how much of an incredibly selfish man he could be? Because as he looked down at he woman he held in his arms, he thought to himself how no other soul in this shard, let alone anywhere else, would see this side of her. A side of her he wished to keep to himself. ]
[It's hard to move with the energy she spent and somehow using her own aether adds into the pure exhaustion. Yua's never been able to do something like that before and she has to wonder if was an effect of her previous life. Just how much power did she have back then? Her soul probably doesn't have enough strength for any more memories tonight, already letting her see some big ones already. She lets him pull her close and manages to rest her head in the croon on his neck, lazily planting kisses while a finger slowly draws circles on his chest.
Definitely a first time to remember.]
It's nice to hear something like that. Makes me feel a little special.
[She will probably see soon that her words will hold weight; after all, Yua is not used to the idea of someone desiring her unless they wanted her dead. And she was not interested even before coming to the First, not until now. Being in Hades's arms gives her that familiar feeling of home and love. If only she could remember that city's name.
As for no one ever seeing her in such a state...while true, both of them did create a bit of noise. Which happened to be heard by one of the younger Scions as he walked by to get something to eat. The only reason why no one has come banging on the door is because the kid is too busy trying to fight off the blushing and trying not to pass out.]
[ His fondness for napping would soon catch up to him, both aetherically and physically he was drained. Yet with one look at his expression there was not a single ounce of regret to be seen. An arm drapped itself across her side, his hand cupping her back with fingers gently tracing a similar pattern down her spine. This moment would eventually come to end but until that time came, he was determined to remain as they were. ]
Oh, you are not merely a 'little special'.
[ Hades tilted his head back just enough to make it a bit easier for her to continue kissing his neck. He hummed whenever he felt her lips against his skin. ]
My dear, you are so much more than that.
[ Then there was a sharp sound of his fingers snapping then and suddenly, the familiar sight of his regal coat seemingly dropped just inches from the air, landing on Yua as a makeshift blanket. He tugged the fur lined trimming up to cover her. The window was open and it was late-- it was foolish and sentimental, but he wanted to be sure she remained warm even after he would eventually depart.
[That's probably weird to say but he did create two large empires back on the Source that they know of (despite one being absolutely bonkers) and can give a shit less if he's snarking off to the heroes who had defeated his own comrades. And yet there's a history between them that Yua is still trying to piece together. She was just given a place with no name and a deep connection between two souls and if she wanted to know more, she would need to find a way to look it up. Would the First even have any stories or books to start?
Hearing that familiar snap, she feels his jacket drape over her body and she looks up at Hades in surprise.]
[ A tired but still smug smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. He reached a hand up to brush her hair away from her cheek, his thumb stroking it lightly. There was so much he wanted to impart upon her but these things would take time. Time that was limited. But that was a matter for him to dwell on later. ]
I do have particular tastes. After all, I've always been rather fond of the theater and arts.
[ Hades then pressed a soft kiss to her lips once, followed by a second one. ]
I will. So I suppose I shall simply have to stay for the night so that I can retrieve it come morning.
[Should she mention how she's been training under some dancers back on the Source then? She had an inkling about Hades's love for the arts given the Prima Vista residents and how they were praised before Varis decided that censorship would be the game.]
It definitely shows.
[A small tease but to be fair, she did do some pretty dramatic things herself. The list is rather long and they would not be able to sleep if she mentioned it. But then again, he is being dramatic with his coat and the reasoning. She wouldn't be bored with him nearby, that's for sure. It's enough to have her snuggle against him, completely content.]
After tonight, I'd be a fool for kicking you out. Besides, this might be a time where I can get some good sleep.
[ Varis was a fool and still Hades could not understand how someone of his relation would be so utterly blind to the arts? A disappointing, really.
But to witness the methods of a dancer would be of utmost interest to the ascian. Should he ever find out he was most certainly find a way to convince her to entertain his curiosity about it. ]
The bed is more comfortable than sleeping outside. I am appreciative of the invitation to stay none the less. So rest, my dear. I shall make sure no one interrupts your sleep.
[ And pity whichever poor soul that comes by in the morning should she sleep in (and he would let her too) to retrieve her. ]
[A small yawn escapes her but he's right; they both should try and rest up because the morning may bring on a new challenge. But Yua is ready to face it and who knows, maybe someone will have an answer on how to get rid of all this Lightwarden aether.]
Mmm, thanks. But I'm not the only one who needs rest.
[She listens to Hades's breathing as it is the final straw that lulls her into a blissful slumber. There she dreams of the city with spires and how lively it seems. A comfort before all hell breaks loose. Whoever does decide to brave waking them up...well, prayers will not be the way to save them.]
