douze. [rl with kamina]

[piercethecharts]

[ As silly as it was, Sheryl was feeling pretty cheery from that secret. She waited for Kamina by the front of her hotel, hoping that he'd actually wear appropriate clothing (i.e. a shirt) as she tapped her foot, humming to herself. This was a songwriting sort of mood. She was wearing her usual getup of aviators and a floppy hat; the sun had mostly set by now, but she liked being able to go around unrecognized. ]

[ she turns slightly so she can wrap her arms around him ] And I've never been the kind of woman who needs a man around, so don't get the wrong idea, but... I really did like that secret, you know.

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

'm glad. ...ya know, 'cause I worked hard on it. Don't want all my time ta go to waste or anything. [for all his gruff talk, he has an arm around her waist that's drawing her closer.]

[piercethecharts]

Oh, sure. That's definitely the reason. You hate to waste time, that's what everyone knows about you.

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

Sh-shut up.

[piercethecharts]

You just don't want people knowing you're secretly sweet, that's all!

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[looking like a tomato right about now] It's not bein' sweet! All I did was say how I felt, is all, 'cause I really like you!

[let that sink in.]

[piercethecharts]

[ oh, she does. She looks like she's about to kiss him, but then looks over her shoulder, noting that the park isn't quite as empty as she'd like.

...And then kisses him anyway, because screw the tabloids, seriously. ]

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[forget those tabloids. besides, grace can always go in and erase them like the pictures never happened if she wanted to. he kisses back, damn happy that this is a pretty definite answer to the question that had been bothering him ever since he'd came. it's time for an internal victory dance.]

[piercethecharts]

[ if he hadn't realized already, he's as big of an idiot as Neil thinks he is. She pulls away before too long-- they are still in public-- and then grins cheekily up at him ] Did I just get the great Kamina-sama to talk about his feelings?

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[yes, he's as big of an idiot as neil thinks he is. the blush comes back in full force.] Yeah, I guess.

[piercethecharts]

So, have you seen enough of the view here?

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm good.

[piercethecharts]

Come on, then! [ she takes his hand and leads him back towards the entrance to the park ]

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[dutifully follows out of the park and to the hotel like the good whipped guy he is]

[piercethecharts]

[ And as they approach... ] You'd better not make any comments about this, okay? I just want somewhere where I can take my sunglasses off, it's too dark out!

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

Comments about what? [clueeeeeeless]

[piercethecharts]

...Never mind. [ herds him into the elevator and presses the button for the fourth floor ]

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[the ride is short, and kamina looks relieved to be outside of the elevator once it's over.]

[piercethecharts]

--Hm? What is it? You don't look so good, all of a sudden.

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

I don't like those things.

[piercethecharts]

You're claustrophobic?

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

Claustrowhat?

[piercethecharts]

It means that you're af-- that you don't like enclosed spaces. [ she swipes her keycard and lets them into the room while she's talking. It's basically just as kickass as the one on the cruise ship. ]

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

Huh...I guess I am. Little spaces like that creep me out for some reason. [glances around the room appreciatively] ...damn, this is nice.

[piercethecharts]

It's not bad! [ she takes off her hat and sunglasses, putting them down on her vanity ]
