The Beach | Birthday Blues {BYOA}

Aug 05, 2011 23:19

With the will of the hotel to create just about any scenario it wished, it was often hard to keep track of the seasons going by. However, if one was to find themselves wandering along a long stretch of sand as the sun slowly began to dip below the horizon, it would truly feel like summer. It was obviously fated that Amelia found herself wandering ( Read more... )

Zelgadiss hadn't expected to wind up at the beach, but then, he hadn't really been expecting anything in particular. He'd just set off walking - but then, at least the hotel had the courtesy to wait for that for once rather than just dumping him where it wanted him to go, usually without any clothes.

He slipped off his shoes before stepping out onto the sand, leaving them just inside the doorway - he was obviously unsurprised at the way the door seemed to vanish when he closed it. A way out would probably present itself eventually. He was more interested in the line of bare footprints across the beach, still visible in the light of the setting sun.

He was sure of just who the figure at the end of the trail was even before her features became really distinct; it was easy to recognize Amelia by now. He approached quietly, not wanting to disturb her apparent thoughts, but unless she noticed him coming he was going to walk right up next to her and put a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Amelia?"

He smiled and kissed her back gently. "I suppose I can understand that. Explains why it never came up before; if we'd been traveling with Lina when her birthday came around I'm sure she'd have let us know about it."

One of his hands came up slowly to stroke her hair as he fell silent, content to just hold her for a moment. If his presence helped cheer her up, it was the least he could do; he certainly couldn't say the wrong thing if he didn't talk for a bit. Either way, it felt good to just hold her close like this.

"I guess that's true, we're lucky it didn't come up then." she giggled, content to linger as close as she could, even after the kiss ended.

As he continued to run his hand through her hair, she sighed happily, the sadness from before melting away. Having Zelgadiss with her, even just holding her was enough to relax her entirely, the girl eagerly snuggling to his arms and clinging tightly.

"You know though, now you're going to have to tell me when your birthday is." she chirped, hand moving up to the side of his face.

"Well, I suppose if you're going to insist... It's the 28th of October. But you certainly don't have to do anything for it; I didn't even remember last year." He grinned a little at seeing her smile again. At least him being here was doing some good.

She was actually surprised he answered so readily, but that was probably due to him trying to make her feel better. Still, she expected him insisting on her not doing anything for him, so wasn't deterred. Instead the girl just smiled up at him more.

"Well you wouldn't say no to a birthday hug right?" she teased, pressing close to him as she stood on her toes, nuzzling into his neck, for the moment forgetting the rather revealling attire the hotel had given her to wear. She would respect his request, but she fully intended to at least do that for him. It was only fitting considering everything they had been through together.

"Mm, I suppose not. I'm hoping you won't either, though, since it's not my birthday." He flushed just a little as he registered for the first time how she was dressed. Not that inappropriate for the beach, apart from the weather, except that it was lingerie rather than a swimsuit. Still, it was a little embarrassing, especially with the way she pressed up against him.

"Of course I won't, why would I object to be held by the one I love so much." she replied, clinging tighter and still fairly oblivious to everything.

In all fairness Amelia had at least had the decency to cover her lower body, and the lingerie actually hid more skin that some bathing suits. However, the lacy material sculpting the curves of her form was no doubt not helping matters. It seemed that for the two months she had been in the hotel, the princess still failed to see some of the appeal she held.

It had taken Zel longer than that, but then, he'd come in with the preconceived notion that he was actually ugly rather than just being oblivious. His cheeks colored brightly at her reply, but he smiled down at her. "Mm, I love you, too. You're beautiful," he added softly, leaning down and brushing her bangs out of the way to kiss her forehead.

For all the time they'd known each other, Amelia was aware of how he felt about his appearance, so seeing him be comfortable in his own skin made her hopelessly happy. Knowing he felt better about himself was wonderful, now that he saw what both she and a lot of others could in him.

Perhaps it was still the lingering recollection of his first impressions of her as being loud and annoying, but actually hearing him say such things made her blush regardless. Her breath hitched at the feeling of his lips on her forehead, the girl feeling as if she would melt on the spot.

"Zelgadiss," she murmured, dropping the mister as per usual when felt so at ease with him. Curling up further into his body, she settled in the hold for the moment, wondering if she was bold enough to make the first move this time or not.

Zelgadiss shivered just slightly as she curled up against him, his arms shifting a little to support her still. His own breath caught a bit when he heard her just use his name; he knew what that meant, coming from her.

His hand came up to cup her cheek, his thumb stroking over the flushed skin gently. She really was beautiful like this, and it felt wonderful having her small form pressed up against him.

She really thought she'd be more embarrassed than she actually was at the prospect of what was going through her head. Any remaining concern about if this was right quickly disappeared though, when she felt the gentle touch of his hand on her face. Amelia tilted her head into the touch, letting herself simply enjoy the feeling before looking back up at him. Really, they felt the same way about each other, there was no need to think about it at all.

Using his hold to support herself, she pushed her smaller frame against the chimera, leaning up to close the distance between them, allowing their lips to meet. Holding her body in place as securly as she could, Amelia poured all the emotion she could into the kiss, making her feelings clear to him.

Zel almost started to say something, but then their lips met and whatever it had been was driven out of his head. He returned the kiss easily, his arms circling her to hold her securely as he could. The intensity of the kiss and the emotion behind hit left him dizzy, and he ended up leaning back against the wall for support.

Slowly, his lips began to part, sealing his mouth against hers as he tried to return it with the same ardor. There really wasn't any need to think about it any longer - if he'd had any doubts about the way either of them felt, that night they'd spent in the woods had erased them.

For all the maturing she had done in the past few years, Amelia still hardly ever held back her emotions. Therefore, when she was as happy as she was currently, wrapped up in Zelgadiss' embrace, there was no restraint to be found. She saw no reason to do so, allowing all the tender feelings she held for him to spill forth as they kissed.

A notable mew escaped her throat as he responded, blissful that they were finally together like this. Still pressed against him, she loosened the hold slightly, moving one hand to his face, fingers stroking the skin and stones with affection. It was quite obvious any notion of holding back was long gone, the princess completely willing to allow whatever would come next to happen.

Zelgadiss moaned softly into the kiss as he felt Amelia's hand caress his face. She never held back, and the feeling took his breath away.

Slowly, he shifted position, moving until he could settle onto the bed with Amelia in his lap. He was careful not to break the kiss; he wanted to hold on to this moment as long as he possibly could. His own hand slid down to stroke gently along her back, remembering how much she liked it when he did that.

Amelia didn't need persuading to move until she was sitting on the chimera's lap, almost too preoccupied with kissing him to notice. All of her concentration was going into responding to the embrace, fingers tracing his features while her lips moved against his. Needless to say, she had no intention of letting things end just yet either.

On feeling his hand on her back through the material of the lingerie, she whimpered into the kiss, arching into the touch encouragingly. The tight fit of the bodice only made her shiver further, her free hand gripping Zel's shirt as she continued to make more small noises against his lips.

He had to break the kiss eventually, if only so that he could catch his breath. When he did, his face was flushed again, but it wasn't embarrassment this time. He kept stroking her back gently as he smiled down at her, leaning in close to whisper in her ear. "I love you, Amelia..."
