Andia: The Revolution

[Eltee]

Aarys gave an exaggerated roll of her eyes, and reversed the position, straddling Valentin's hips. She kissed him. "You'll be fine." She said, kissing him again.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin placed his hands on Aarys' hips. However, he pulled them away and locked them behind his head a moment later. "No, this makes it even harder to resist. I really don't know if I can do this, babe."

[Eltee]

Aarys pressed her finger to his mouth. "Shhhh, don't worry. You'll be fine. I trust you." Aarys said. She remained motionless, astride him with her small palms resting on his chest. "Just take a few deep breaths with me. Calm down a little."

[King Acunasti]

"I..." Valentin obeyed, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. "You're torturing me, Rys."

[Eltee]

"I... I... Okay, I am sorry, Val." Aarys said quietly, lying back down beside Valentin quietly.

[King Acunasti]

"Please, Aarys, I just don't want to insult you." Valentin said. "It's not your fault! It's my damn urges! Please, forgive me. I'll do anything else you want me to do. I feel like a terrible boyfriend right now."

[Eltee]

"You didn't insult me, I didn't listen to you... I'm sorry, for teasing you, I could... It might hurt, a little, but I could... Again..." Aarys mumbled, eyes shining with the beginnings of tears.

[King Acunasti]

"No!" Valentin said, holding Aarys' hand. "I would never expect you to do something like that just because I can't control myself. That's the rule. If you're not totally into it, I'm not either."

[Eltee]

"I, okay..." Aarys murmured, wiping her eyes. "Okay. I just... I never want to do anything to drive you away, or anything like that..."

[King Acunasti]

"Oh my god!" Valentin laughed. "I would never leave you! Especially over something like that! Aarys, I would never treat you like a servant or a slave. If you don't want to do something, we won't do it. You aren't driving me away!"

[Eltee]

"I... I love you so much." Aarys whispered. "And I am so lucky to have you... I'm just scared, I'm sorry..."

[King Acunasti]

"You don't have to be scared with me." Valentin kissed Aarys on the forehead. "You really don't."

[Eltee]

Aarys took a few deep breaths. "You are right. I don't." She covered her face. "I don't know what's come over me, sorry..."

[King Acunasti]

"Hey," Valentin took Aarys' wrists and removed her hands from her face. "You've got nothing to be sorry for. Why were you tearing up before?"

[Eltee]

"I don't know... I really just felt... I don't know what I am feeling right now." Aarys said, looking down. "I guess the dream made me think about losing you, and then I was pressing you to kiss me, but you said no and I felt ashamed for teasing you, and... I don't know, Valentin." She said, her voice getting progressively quieter. She felt awkward and stupid.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin nodded in response. "You want a beer?" he asked simply.

[Eltee]

"Yes." Aarys said without hesitation.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin reached into the cooler and pulled out a bottle of beer, popping the cap off and handing it to Aarys. "Enjoy." he said, opening his own bottle as well.

[Eltee]

Aarys took a long drink, sighing. "Can we just forget that stuff I said? It was stupid, I hope it doesn't ruin our night."

[King Acunasti]

Valentin laughed. "Of course. But nothing you say is stupid, and it certainly didn't ruin our night." He cocked an eyebrow. "But slow down there with the beer. You don't wanna end up like you were last night."

[Eltee]

"Getting drunk seems more and more attractive..." Aarys said ruefully. "Oh, don't worry. I will only have, like, half a beer or something."

[King Acunasti]

"Half a beer got you pretty smashed yesterday." Valentin laughed as he took a spit of his own beer. "You sure?"

[Eltee]

Aarys shrugged. "What will be will be." She took a small sip of the beer. "You fought really well today, Val."

[King Acunasti]

Valentin smirked. "I just sprayed a bunch of bullets in their direction to cover you guys." he said. "It wasn't overly impressive. But I did enjoy watching you kick some Shard ass."

[Eltee]

"Me? I stabbed a guy. That was the extent of any awesomeness. You were peppering them with that DP! You took down, like, twenty by yourself!" She mimicked the recoil of a light machine gun. "It was awesome!"
