London Beach

[Ebony-Star]

She tries to stop crying, wiping at her cheeks and sniffling. The tears keep falling and she gives up, wrapping her arms around you. Her arms are tight around you, her face burried against your shoulder. "I-I'm sorry....y-you could've died! And it would've been my f-fault...." She cries more, still trying to be quiet.

[Auden]

"Well, we're still alive and healthy, right?" he peeled back his face mask for you to find his bright smile. "You will, no, we, will get through this." He held her tighter, unaware of the lone child watching them.

[Ebony-Star]

She holds you close and smiles faintly. She sees the child and whispers, "A-Auden? We seemed to have woken someone up." She slowly lets go of you, blushing. Wiping at her cheeks she looks at the small child, smiling slightly. She then looks down shyly, trying not to show the slight sadness entering her eyes. Unconsciously crossing her arms around her stomach. Her ears go back slightly as she continues looking at the ground.

[Auden]

He crouched next to the human child and gave a warm smile "I'm sorry about us entering your home like this..." he whispered to her. She looked up to him, confused, but Auden's gestures telling her it was urgent. She gave a nod and began to walk back into one of the segmented rooms. "Wait.." He said, as the child looked back, curious of what he had to say. He reached into his back pocket and retrieved his money, placing it into her palm. "You need it more than I do." he smiled, while she did the same.

[Ebony-Star]

A quiet whimper escapes Ebony's lips, barely audible, as she looks at the floor, tears stinging her eyes. Her head hangs, her arms still crossed over her stomach. A single tear lands on the floor before she wipes at her eyes, trying to stop crying. She wasn't that big of a cryer, she was tough even before she was kidnaped. Several of the people who grabbed her still has scars from claws and teeth. She looks up as soon as she knows there's no trace of the tears and gives you a small smile. "What's she going to do?"

[Auden]

He gently took Ebony's hand and pulled her out of the house, leaving the two of them alone once again. "She is going to return to her family." he said, smiling reassuringly. In the horizon, you can see the sun beginning to rise, filling the sky with a diffused orange. "We should go and get that money of yours soon..."

[Ebony-Star]

"Yeah." She looks at the sunset, her blue eyes contrasting with the orange of the sky, the orange bringing out the blue and her silver fur. She smiles, looking at the sunrise. "Can....Can we just stay here for a second?" She hasn't let go of your hand from when you grabbed it, holding it gently but firmly. Her fingers thread between yours as she stands next to you. The light makes dark shadows, every shadow made by her body contrasting deeply with her fur. Her eyes close as the warmth from the sun starts soaking into her skin and her dark-to-light wings spread slightly, still bent at the outer joint, but catching some of the light. The closest feathers near her back are black, like a raven's. Opening her eyes again, gold and violet flecks are visible in them, accenting the blue. She looks at you with her unique eyes and smiles at you, grateful that you were on the beach.

[Auden]

He stood there, gazing to her with wide eyes, hid by his drooping hair. You see his cheeks beginning to redden, as he shifts his weight out of embarrassment. He flipped his hair to the side, flashing a warm smile along the way. His spots began to blend with his light grey fur, making him seem distinguishable as a glowing silhouette, flowing in the wind. He didn't understand what she has been through, nor what kind of people she angered, but that doesn't matter now. He wrapped his arms around her, trying to savor every moment he had with her, not wanting to let go.

[Ebony-Star]

She wraps her arms around him, wanting him close. She looks up at you and smiles softly, your face still visible. She has to stand on her tiptoes slightly to kiss your cheek, blushing. Her blue eyes were averted, looking away shyly, her arms still around you. Her light blonde bangs fell across her eyes, blocking them from your sight. "Auden?" Her voice was soft and hesitant, almost scared. Her ears were halfway back, her eyes still hidden behind bangs.

[Auden]

He giggled at the feel of her kiss, soon returning it upon her cheek. His face burned heavily, blazing a dark red. He didn't know what feeling was blooming inside of him, only that it felt fantastic.
"Uh, y-yeah?" He whispered, gazing curiously into her blue eyes.

[Ebony-Star]

"W-Will you kiss me?" Her cheeks were a bright red, her eyes looking into yours bravely. She knew she was an idiot for asking that, but she wanted to know your answer. She's had kisses forced on her before and she didn't want to do that to you. Her heart was thumping hard in her chest, afraid and anxious for your answer. Her blue eyes searched yours, trying to guess you answer. The sun was higher now, almost clearing the horizon.

[Auden]

His heart began to race. He didn't know she thought of him that way, but he soon realized, that he shared her feelings. He leaned in, wrapping his lips around hers.

[Ebony-Star]

A blush spreads over her cheeks and she kisses you back, her arms going around you. It felt like forever, but it was only a few seconds before she pulled back. She looks down, shy now. You were her first real kiss and she was embarrassed about it. Her arms were still wrapped around you, her body close to yours. She watched as both of their auroras mixed, her chocolatey brown going through your light blue like smoke. She watches it, fascinated.

[Auden]

He looked down to her, amazed. He was struggling for something to say, but with all of his will, he couldn't find anything. He accepted the silence, bringing her closer. "I, I love you..." He pushed his forehead against hers, his eyes coming to a final close.

[Ebony-Star]

She smiles and looks at you, the light shadowing half of your face. She could feel the words rise up in her throat and was expecting herself to say them, but they got caught and wouldnt come out. She pulls closer, wanting to let you know she feels the same but afraid to say the words. She whispers softly, not wanting to disturb the peace, "w-wanna go see where I used to live? I think you would've liked it." A small smile pulls at her lips as she looks at you.
