Travel Worries (Xem & Hiro)

[Saix]

Hyacinth Witch : ~Xem's room~
Xemnas: *curled up in bed trying to read, but he's mostly just staring at the pages thinking*

xaldinstrips : Hiro: *knocks briefly as he opens the door coming in, something under his arm* Xemnas?

Hyacinth Witch : Xemnas: *looks up, sitting up and setting the book aside* Yes Seraph?

xaldinstrips : Hiro: I hoped I might find you in here, when I didn't find you in your office. *tucks whatever it is behind his back in the one hand as he slipped the door closed; heading for the bed and sitting on it's edge: producing a nearly wild looking boquet of silver striped white lilies with a slight smattering of baby's breath, bound with a gold ribbon* For you.
Hyacinth Witch : Xemnas: ...*flushes, eyes widening as he produces them, the First recieving them carefully, grazing his fingertips over one of the larger lilies' petals before leaning in to inhale the sweet scent* Mm~ *looks back to Seph* Thank you...

Hyacinth Witch : Xemnas: *leans in and pecks him on the lips, pulling away to examine his expression* Is there a special occasion I have forgotten?

xaldinstrips : Hiro: *smiles wider seeing his reaction, brushing his fingers back across his hair* You're welcome. *the smile softens and he shakes his head at the question, a slight color coming up* .. no, no ocassion. I saw them in a window in Traverse Town, and immediately thought of you. I'm glad you like them Jewel.

Hyacinth Witch : Xemnas: *seems to pause when the other mentions Traverse, the Nobody worrying his lip a moment before asking* I have been meaning to ask you, why is it that you still return to Traverse Town?

xaldinstrips : Hiro: *brows going up just a bit, he both had, and hadn't been expecting that question to come up* Ah. The inevitable resurfaces. *shook his head softly, his smile a bit less, though not by much as his fingers softly caressed along Xemnas' neck* Do you remember asking about the one who had come into the other room, that first night we were together?

Hyacinth Witch : Xemnas: *absently leans into the caress, nodding a little* Yes, I believe I was attempting to mock you at the time...

xaldinstrips : Hiro: *smiles a little wider and nods before his expression returns to the semi-serious expression* The reason why he came in, was because he had the key to that room. He's been staying in it now for some time; and I occasionally check up on him, pay the rent and make certain he has what he needs.

Hyacinth Witch : Xemnas: But who is this person you have so kindly been boarding? *toys with the ribbon idly, a slightly-joking slightly-serious tone to his voice* I do not want to have to worry over your affections being divided.

xaldinstrips : Hiro: *eyes following his fingers softly across his hair, he was taking a moment to think of how to answer; though.. his gaze shot back to the beautiful ambers with the last* My affections are focused in one place and one place only. *his thumb brushed forward across Xemnas' cheek* You. Who he is... *a slight breath, and he shook his head slightly* ..is someone I owe a small allegiance to. A kinship of sorts. we're neither friends nor enemies, if that makes sense. Still.. he doesn't wish to be found at this time.. by anyone. Not that I know of any way: and.. I am not willing to break his trust.

Hyacinth Witch : Xemnas: *sighs a little, catching the hand that had just brushed up against his face, kissing the swordsman's knuckles before responding* I will trust your word then and not press the matter further... *smiles at him* I just had to be sure.

xaldinstrips : Hiro: *leans forward to headbutt him very softly, squeezing his hand: keeping their foreheads together as he smiled at him* I love you Jewel. *said with his smile almost at a hum in the content tone* I will tell you everything when I can, I promise you.. I've already been very tempted. I don't like keeping things from you. *a soft kiss, and he smiled a little wider*

Hyacinth Witch : Xemnas: I love you too, Seraph. *steals a couple more brief kisses* I hope that time comes soon, I can be a very impatient man~. *grins back at him, pressing light kisses along his jawline, his thumb caressing the back of the one winged's hand*

[Sephiroth]

Smiling, he met those kisses happily as his thumb ran the center of Xemnas' palm: a soft hum in his throat. That single wing lifted and spread slightly to wrap almost like a loose shell partially around and over them. " Well then.. " whispered, his fingers turning to twine with the others, pulling back a bit to look over the entirety of his face. " I shall lend you some of my patience in the mean time, if I can..~ "

His other hand sifting back through his hair, he smiled softer at the beautiful golden amber hue of his eyes framed by the silvery white of his hair; brushing the ends of one section that fell along the side of his face in adoration. It was that simple contrast seeing the lilies in the window that had made him pause, and inspired him to buy them. Beautifully glinting gold accenting the soft silvery white. " It is far more beautiful in you.. " an outward and almost distant smiling thought.

[Xemnas]

"Hmm~?" Was the questioning tone, the First leaning close to rest his forehead against the swordsman's. "What was that?" Xemnas' free hand slid up his arm, brushing lightly over his shoulder before moved to caress Sephiroth's face.

The Nobody could have frowned mentally despite the trust he was placing in the man. He couldn't help but feel worried over who he might be housing...

[Sephiroth]

" A personal observation.. " He smiled. Petting his fingers forward again he brushed his thumb along his cheek under his eye. " Comparing the lilies coloring to your own. " A smaller, softer smile: and he kissed him once more before glancing down to the blooms. " Do you have something to put them in? "

[Xemnas]

"Ah, yes...in fact the lilies you presented me with before finally faded." He replied, nodding in the direction of the small desk at the side that he rarely used these days. The empty vase stood beside a small stack of papers, the dead lilies in question were tied and hanging off one of the drawer handles drying.
