'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again Without warning, she felt herself being pulled back to the couch. In her surprise, she fell and ended up collapsing back on the chair - probably almost hitting Kingrex there. Her face completely flared up, red as a tomato, as she felt an arm around her waist and was pressed back close against him. "Y-y-you - this is - I - " Another shiver went down her spine as he spoke near her ear with an uncharacteristic request. She froze, her mind a whirl of emotions that she was too stunned to react to at first. Then eventually, she relaxed and held onto the arms that were wrapping her tight. "Sure. I don't mind." Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath. Then another. She wasn't sure about what she was agreeing to, but she could feel something different about Carlo now. The vulnerability felt real, and she couldn't deny him this comfort. It didn't even occur to her to make a joke about his wandering hands or threats to his life if he did anything funny. She was sure that he wouldn't do that. Not like this. And given everything that had happened between them since the moment they met, she decided to take an even bigger leap. "I don't think I told you yet...that I like you too," she mumbled softly in return. Against all odds, despite the bumpy first few meetings, she was starting to feel something for the brash, foul-mouthed marine. kingrex

“Sorry.” He whispered lowly, hearing her ramble like she wasn't exactly comfortable with it. Rex was about to let go and just call it quits up until she relaxed and said she didn't mind the...situation. As clingy as he was being, he did play nice, merely hugging the girl and keeping her close, no hands went anywhere they weren't suppose to.
Her next comment wasn't something he was expecting though, she liked him? Wait...had he...Oh he had, hadn't he? He'd totally forgotten he'd even gotten worked up and said something like that, but did he mean it? Was this not just some kind of short lived spur of the moment lustful embrace to calm his nerves?
Damn right it wasn't. Naomi was different, and she wasn't just some wild card among all the torment this game brought with it, she was something real. She was one of the rare people he met that didn't feel like a character in a damn game, but a real living person trapped here like he was. And she was one that he'd fallen for, because of her stubborn nature and cute looks.
With a small fidget he'd lean his head away from her back and sit a little straighter, moving to put his cheek against that of the woman's as he breathed a laugh. His long bangs of golden hair would probably mesh against hers, “...I feel like I'm in freaking highschool again, what? Am I suppose to ask you out and get permission from your dad to take you on a date to the movies next?” He joked in a whisper.

'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again During a brief moment of silence between the two of them, Naomi's fingers began idly tracing the designs on his tattoo. This felt really nice. To have someone she could be with while she was stuck here made the whole situation so much easier to bear. All she wanted was someone to love genuinely. Even in the real world, she'd often had trouble with relationships because of her looks and her work. Meeting someone who hadn't cared about walking on eggshells around her because of who she was had been refreshing too. The entire room didn't matter anymore. Not even the couple beside them. It was probably a bit weird to become this intimate, given the setting, but she didn't care. A part of her was happy to have even found something like this in the first place. She could feel him move all of a sudden, and felt his cheek pressed against hers. At his laugh and his comment, she smiled. "I'd like those actually." A slight frown appeared as she added, "Except for asking my parents for permission. The only person you should be asking those to is me!" she huffed. With his head out of the way, she leaned even further back against him, sighing at the warmth and the comfort. She even gripped his arms to tighten the embrace. "So Carlo, are you going to ask me out or do I have to do everything myself?" she asked him with a smirk. kingrex

[attr="class","scare"]I'm Listening... [attr="class","scare1"] [attr="class","scare2"] [attr="class","scare3"] [attr="class","scarewords"]Rex breathed another laugh when she said the only person she should be asking was her. She was a stubborn beauty through and through, and even if the soldier knew it was probably going to just end up being trouble, at least it seemed like they'd have a fun ride up until then. His grip around her waist relaxed as a hand went to cover the back of hers and lock their digits together in a hold.
“Yeah...Alright then...You're mine, you got that?” Carlo whispered again before sneaking a kiss against the side of her neck and another at her cheek, baiting obviously for her lips, “And when we get outta here, I'm going to find you...So don't run off to anyone else until then.” For an asshole, he was a decent flirt...Or maybe he was just telling himself that to keep his hands from shaking, and his heart from exploding out of his chest?
If she got the hint about the kiss, he'd move himself just enough so their faces wouldn't have to fight to be parallel and lean in to seal the deal. It probably wasn't the most romantic place for a first kiss between a new couple, but what choice did they really have? It was this or probably in the mist of killing a giant fucking turtle with rockets or something just as crazy!

'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again A thrill ran through her when he declared her his. Who would've thought that behind that pricky exterior, Kingrex had such a romantic, sweet streak in him? It was like finding an ordinary looking rock, only to discover a diamond underneath all that grime. Naomi kept smiling as she looked down at their entwined fingers, then gasped as he started kissing her neck and cheek. "Goes both ways buddy," she teased, not looking at him yet. His warm breath across her skin sent pleasant goosebumps running up her arms and neck. "Too late to back out now, you hear me? You're going to be stuck with me from now on." Turning slightly to meet his face, she closed her eyes when she saw him inching closer, and kissed him back as soon as she felt his lips. There were still so many uncertainties they had to deal with. For one, they were stuck here, and there was a chace that one or both of them wouldn't make it out. She wasn't going to delude herself into thinking she could be with Carlo forever. Anything could happen between now and then. But for now, she supposed, they both needed that promise to keep going. Give them both something to look forward to when they were free. She would enjoy their time together, for as long as she could. After a while, she pulled away briefly to give him a look. "I'll wait for as long as it takes, but don't keep me waiting too long," she warned. kingrex

Alright so Rex might have been a little greedy when she let him steal their first kiss, dragging it on for as long as she'd allow before she finally teased away and went to caution him about making a real woman wait to long. Another laugh was breathed out and he'd lean back into the sofa behind them, rubbing one of his fingers against hers in a nervous fidget.
Rex couldn't help but feel a little gross when his romance was turning out to be some kind of fucking Disney love story. Luckily the offsetting environment of sweaty drunk dancers and loud music made it somewhat bearable. There was a cheesy grin locked on the soldier's face, how long had it been since he'd met someone who'd made him feel this way?
“...Alright princess, we better play nice before we end up worse than them...” Rex joked lowly as he looked to the couple at their side who'd calmed down a little, “This was just a sneaky way to get you to join my guild, pretty clever, right?” Carlo grinned wide with that joke.

'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again Naomi couldn't help but glance back at the couple next to them. The two of them were still making out, lips seemingly glued to each other forever, but at least they weren't about to start taking off their clothes or something worse. How on earth were they still breathing like that? Remembering the setting they were in made her blush. While she had enjoyed that first kiss, she wanted to believe that she wasn't so flighty as to just get really into it like the two frustrated, desperate lovers. She'd always believed such intimate displays of affection were meant to be done in complete privacy. "God no! We are not going to get into public indecency like that." Just thinking of it made her shiver. She was all fine with kissing and holding hands, but she was way too conservative for anything further than that. At that not-so-subtle invitation to his guild, she brought her attention back on him and raised an eyebrow. She had noticed the new guild emblem that was hovering above him for a while, but there had never been an opportunity to bring it up before now. "Oh really? And what exactly do I get for joining this guild of yours?" she asked, one side of her lip curling up. kingrex

[attr="class","scare"]I'm Listening... [attr="class","scare1"] [attr="class","scare2"] [attr="class","scare3"] [attr="class","scarewords"]Yeah---but when nobody was watching, he knew Naomi wasn't going to be the reserved little dainty doll she was working up to be. Carlo again leaned himself forward towards the girl, putting his lips against her ear, “...Me and a bunch of weirdos, sounds like a good deal, right?” After his flirtatious whisper he'd again relax backwards into the sofa.
Their waitress from earlier finally came back to check on them, though she stopped when she noticed how lovie-dovie they'd gotten in the short time she'd been away, giving them an exciting smile and wink before moving to stand near the rowdy couple, with a swat of an empty tray on their heads she'd attempt to break them up, “You two need to chill out a little! Go find somewhere private!” She scolded in her petite voice.
The couple instantly stopped and tore apart from one another, looking embarrassed as all hell before they retreated into the crowd to leave. Again the waitress turned to her much more favored lovers, giving them a triumphant thumbs up and waddled off for the bar again. They weren't done with their prior drinks, so no harm in bothering them, right?
Rex was watching silently up until this point, a little wide eyed before he laughed under a breath and leaned forward to tilt a corner of his eyes towards the side of Naomi's face, “...I'm going to leave her a nice tip.” With a sigh he'd attempt to untangle Namoi's fingers from his own, testing her own addictions, “...Guess you have some room now.” Like hell he wanted her to move! But he didn't want to overload the woman with affection if she wasn't use to it.

'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again She'd scoff at his tease. "I don't know...do I really want to hang out with you and a bunch of weirdos on a regular basis? I feel like I'll get more stress that way." She deliberately wrinkled her nose for emphasis, then after pausing for a few long seconds, let out an exaggerated sigh. "Oh I suppose if you really insist. I'll come along with your little ragtag group." She grinned brightly to let him know she was just joking around like he was. It would be nice to have a group, rather than just Kingrex alone. A bigger team that worked together and helped each other out. When the waitress returned and scared off the other couple away, while constantly giving the two of them signs of approval, she giggled. "I think the waitress really approves of us," she said. Thank god the other two were gone, leaving them with some peace and quiet again. As she left, Naomi felt Carlo slip his hands away from hers. She blinked, frowning a little as he implied that she could move away from him now that there was more room on the couch. She glanced up at him, narrowing her eyes to gauge his reaction. He didn't look like he really wanted her to move out. And the fact that he'd grabbed hold of her initially told her it wasn't anything about impropriety or shyness. With a huff, she grabbed his hands again, threading her fingers through his, and settled even closer to him. "I'm perfectly happy with where I am," she reassured him. kingrex

Best fucking wingman I've ever had.” Rex joked about the waiter before Naomi slithered back into his lap and stole his hand in hers. She didn't want to leave, and neither did he, she'd past the test with flying colors. Again his fingers would fidget and dance within their hold, a reflection of his busy and edgy personality.
“I'm sure they'll like you more than they like their Boss...Heh.” Carlo fussed with a sigh before slumping his head backwards and staring upwards in a show of false exhaustion, “...I can't believe we actually made it through floor one without fuck'n dying...It was such a mess...” The soldier admitted.
“...It's going to be nice having you around, you're the only utility we have as of right now.” Another breathing laugh slipped through the man's grin before he slouched against her back, head resting on her shoulder as he pushed her forward, “No pressure, right?” Carlo teased as he locked her up in another squeeze.

'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again Naomi allowed Carlo to play with her fingers as she listened to him. It felt like a sort of habit, out of nervousness or a lack of anything to do with his hands. But whatever he did, their hands were always joined in some manner. "I wouldn't jump into conclusions that quickly," she said with a chuckle. "For all you know, they might all think I'm just a manipulative bitch who's taking advantage of you." It wouldn't be the first time she'd meet people who thought of her that way. He'd suddenly lean back, head disappearing from her sight. She looked over her shoulder, twisting around so she could see him better as he stared up at the ceiling. His words reminded her of the festival, and the reason why were here drinking in the first place. While he'd been out there fighting and risking his life, she was far from the danger as she could get. Guilt suddenly wormed its way into her and she hurriedly looked back in front. "I'm sorry that you had to go through that." What else could she say? Unlike him or the others out there, she was a complete coward. Quests were easy and simple enough, and those she could face without too much fear. But the thought of having to fight a boss, and risking death a thousand times more, terrified her. And now she had to worry about Carlo as well, because for sure he would keep going out there to fight. She lifted his hand and kissed the back of his knuckles tenderly. "I'm glad you're still here. This would never have happened if you died." What a loss that would've been. Worse, she would've kept thinking what an absolute jerk he was, never getting the chance to discover this side of him. Without warning, she felt the heavy but comfortable weight of him as he pressed against her again, then hugged her tight. She let out a light laugh. "I can handle it," she said confidently. Their group would still have trouble when they needed healing, but she could help prevent them from even needing it too badly at the very least. kingrex

[attr="class","scare"]I'm Listening... [attr="class","scare1"] [attr="class","scare2"] [attr="class","scare3"] [attr="class","scarewords"]Rex laughed when she said she might be a manipulative bitch, if that was the case then she sure as hell wouldn't be wasting her time on him! He was quick to look a little more trouble when she apologized he had to go through that, it had been hell...and he didn't blame the people who sat out of it. That was still better than being an idiot and dying when you didn't know what you were doing.
“I'm glad you're still here.” Man!...You wanna talk about a way to get Rex swooning? It was saying stuff like that. Living the kind of life he did, you didn't have a lot of people telling you stuff like that. Hell his entire existence was a mistake, and the only person on the planet who ever made him feel like he meant something was good ol' granny.
If Naomi was playing a game right now with the soldier, she better be careful, because she was already hooking him deep! Rex's eyes went a little wide briefly in shock before he relaxed his weight against her briefly, kissing the back of her head before locking her again in a tight hug. “...I honestly thought about just dying so many times...Maybe that's why I kept doing it all, you know?” He admitted weakly, “I ain't got much going for myself...” He didn't know what else to add to that.
You didn't live the kind of life Carlo did without having thoughts of suicide, even though he was a stubborn asshole there was so much always eating and tearing at the back of his mind. His carefree and selfish nature was a mask of something far darker, “Thank you, even if you didn't mean that...” He was nearly whispering at this point into her back, maybe she wouldn't even hear it...

'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again Naomi could feel Carlo hugging her even tighter in response to what she said. She felt the chaste kiss on the back of her head, and grew even more concerned when he admitted to thinking of ending his life. It wasn't easy to keep fighting, and she probably couldn't understand what it felt, having escaped the harsh circumstances of battle. Hearing his words twisted her heart a little. The thought of losing him now was just as bad as if she was risking her own life. Some might say she was being too drastic and emotional. She only met Carlo briefly, and it was too early to really get serious about a relationship that wasn't even a day old. But in a world where anyone could die at any second, there was plenty of room for words left unsaid or things left undone that you might regret not doing them once the moment had passed. She refused to plague her mind with 'what if' and 'could have been'. If the two of them only had this one night together, then she would make it matter. Twisting her body around so that she was looking at him, she held his face in both hands and pulled him in for a deep kiss. She poured out all of her feelings into it, hoping he'd receive them and know. It was slow and gentle, as she memorized every bit of him and his presence, savoring this moment. Only when she really needed to breathe did she pull away, glaring at him. Her hands still cupped his cheeks as she spoke. "Don't you dare give up! I don't want you to die. I...I want to find out how far we can take this thing between us. You can keep fighting all you want. I'll even go and help you! But promise me that you'll do everything you can to..." The words died as she looked down, away from his gaze, taking a few deep breaths to gather herself. Was she being selfish for wanting him to stay when he didn't want to? Maybe. She just didn't want to lose something good when she could help it. kingrex

[attr="class","scare"]I'm Listening... [attr="class","scare1"] [attr="class","scare2"] [attr="class","scare3"] [attr="class","scarewords"]Even if he wanted to give up, he never actually could do it. His insanely stubborn survival instincts wouldn't let him die without one hell of a fight. But that was exactly why he always kept tossing himself into the worse kind of hell you could find, it wasn't just about getting the rush like he always told himself.
Rex didn't bother to fight Naomi when she moved, he half expected her to leave after saying the weird shit he just did. But instead she plopped herself right back in his lap at an angle so their faces could embrace with heart felt emotion. She tasted great, and her scent was almost as sweetly colored as her hair. It was crazy to think everything he was losing himself to right now might not even be...Well who she was out there.
Just how much of ourselves had they incorporated in the game? Did they really break down the small details like the feeling of one's skin, or the elegant curves of most human bodies? How did her weight differ here from the real world? All of those pointless questions were drowned away when she locked him in a deep kiss.
She was met with just as much intensity, the soldier gripping tightly at the side of her clothing and clenching it up as he pushed himself at her, letting go at this point would just seem like a crime. Only when they had to come up for air, did he relax his grip slightly on the woman only to be ambushed by her own dainty fingers slithering to hold his cheeks.
Any good warrior was looking for an honorable death, right? A very stressed and fearful expression filtered to the man's stoic and handsome features, his own ocean blue gaze flicking to a side, though there was little place it could hide when it was face to face with the glaring Bubblegum princess. Her words were painful and yet loving all the same.
It was easy when the only fear of death you had was...well death itself, but now there was something else he could lose...Her. He'd already made a promise with Drakka that they were going to get out of this damn game...But that was more so for the kid's sake, he didn't want her to lose faith or think she was alone.
This was for him, “You're killing me here...W-what happen to you hating me? This still feels so crazy..” Rex joked, forcing a grin to his face before he moved a hand to grab one of hers from his cheek, “I wont, OK? I fucking promise...” He finally admitted, as cheesy as this was...Rex wasn't going to not give the woman an answer and risk her beating him to a pulp!

'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again Her glare softened, but she was still frowning at him. "Do you think I'd be sitting here on your lap, kissing you senseless, if I hate you?" It really was a big leap from shouting at each other angrily to suddenly being intimate. Being here with him like this felt surreal. But it was all real. He was right there with her. Naomi brushed his cheek lightly with her thumb. "This is all your fault you know." To be honest, she couldn't believe how they got to this point either. Hadn't expected Kingrex to suddenly reel her in and reveal this honest, romantic side to him. When she caught those brief, small moments that told her he cared - one way or another - she imagined that she'd grow to tolerate his attitude and eventually learn to get along with him somehow. She didn't expect him to suddenly go beyond that. If it wasn't for those, she would never have felt this way. Maybe she wanted to see more of that softer side of him. And now that she had him here and knew that he shared the same feelings, she would hold onto it fiercely. He grabbed her hand as he reassured her that he wasn't going to give up. She was still worried of course, but the assurance helped settle her nerves a bit at least. Her body relaxed, and the frown disappeared. "Good." She pressed her forehead against his, just sitting there and taking it all in with a sigh. "I'm sorry I called you a sleazeball before," she mumbled suddenly. Carlo just needed to see how much she didn't hate him. They'll get used to this eventually. kingrex
