'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again Naomi felt conflicted about what happened to the man Carlo beat up. On one hand, it was completely unfair for him to get out of killing another man through immunity. And though she knew that Carlo was a soldier and was used to killing people, the fact that he was willing to do that scared her. She couldn't really say anything nice about it, and just tried to comfort him the best she could with her presence and hot cocoa. When he spoke up again, she looked at him in both surprise and confusion, blinking as she furrowed her brows. "Me? Um..." She glanced down at her mug, then lifted it to take a sip as she gave herself time to think. Naomi didn't have any stories like the one Carlo had, and most of them were ones she didn't mind sharing. But since Carlo had given her something that had made him vulnerable, something deep in him that he had been reluctant to share, she wanted to try and do something similar. So taking a deep breath, she started. "Leaving me with Wisteria wasn't the only reason I was mad at you," she muttered. "When you told me that I was 'just a six'...that really hurt." Her hands clenched her mug tightly as she bit her lower lip nervously. "I shouldn't be. I've heard people tell me how I'm not good enough, or that I'm not the 'face' they're looking for. I've dated men who tell me I'm the most beautiful girl in the world, only to have them forget all about me the moment they see a prettier, more popular model." She couldn't make herself look at Carlo as she remembered the humiliation and the hurt and the whispers people spoke of her. How they felt sorry, or how she deserved what happened. While she wasn't crying over it now, just recalling those times brought her down, like chains tugging at her and reminding her that they were still there. "I should be used to it...but I'm not. Not really.""I stopped bringing boyfriends to parties because of that. I'm...scared that they're just using me to meet better models. Or that they'll lose interest in me when they see so many better girls out there." She took another deep breath, sighing as she lifted the mug to her face to smell its comforting aroma. "I try not to think about what happens when the two of us are out there. I know I'm being awful in not trusting men. Not trusting you...but that doesn't stop me from being afraid."kingrex quest details

 | What had started out as a very romantic get away to a cozy little cabin was turning into a feels train that either of them probably were better off avoiding. Rex frowned heavily when she admitted just how badly he'd hurt her when he'd rated her physical attractiveness so poorly the very first time they'd met.
“The only reason I said that is because you were fucking gorgeous...I was just trying to hurt your ego.” He admitted past the daggers in his chest, “There's a lot more to you than a pretty face anyways...” He wasn't sure if that statement was relevant or not, but felt like saying it anyways.
Rex quietly placed his mug on the wooden coffee table in front of him before scooting away enough so he could stand, passing in front of the fireplace and reaching to rub the back of his neck, eyes straying towards the door as he looked miserable, “I want to tell you I ain't like those guys...I wouldn't break your trust...To stubborn for that.”
He hissed a little with frustration, eyes narrowed, “..But I'm scared you'll be the one ditching me for some fancy model kid with money...Or someone who's got connections.” Carlo sighed moving the hand at the back of his neck to the side of his head in a scratch, “...I'm sorry I asked that, and I'm sorry 'bout what I said back then..Maybe I should leave for the night.” He offered, feeling rather beaten and depressed.

'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again She nodded, feeling slightly better with what Carlo said, but for someone who's entire career revolved around being beautiful it was still a rough hurdle to get past. All the dark voices in her head kept bringing her down, and it was only through sheer stubbornness that she kept going and didn't give up. Though Carlo was trying to comfort her now by telling her how pretty she was, she still couldn't ignore the other hundred others who have told or shown her otherwise. When he suddenly got up from the sofa, she blinked in surprise and looked up at him. And she knew from their conversation before that he was afraid of what she thought of him as well. It looked like the two of them had more in common with this than they first thought. That more than anything made her see that he was so much different than the men she'd been with before. And that things could be different between them. As he mentioned that he should leave, she immediately stood up - after placing her mug down beside his - and rushed over to him, throwing her arms around him as she pressed her face against his torso. "I told you already, I don't care if you're not rich or if you're not a handsome model. I've dated that type already and look where that got me." Her arms tightened around him. "You're the one I want now, not any of them. Never again. So please don't go."kingrex quest details

'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again The moment she felt his arms wrapping around her in return, her shoulders slumped down and her body relaxed in relief. At his affectionate nuzzling, she sighed and smiled as her hands trailed across his back and wandered all over it. Thank god that she got to him on time, before he left the cabin. She hadn't meant for things to end this way. A part of her regretted ever mentioning it at all, though at the same time she could see this as a step forward in their relationship if nothing bad came out of it in the end. It helped her understand him better, and only made her fall for him more. When he spoke again, she looked up at him with her eyes narrowed and her lips forming a frown. "Not funny." She wasn't going to have any of that with him. The thought was even more frightening than the possibility of being cheated on. He had better be joking. Not wanting to dwell on that anymore, she pulled away from him to head back further into the room. Grasping his hands tightly, she tugged as she urged him to follow. "Let's go to bed. I think we've had enough sharing for today."kingrex quest details
