On a Night with no Moon (Lani Bliv, Mature)

He leaned down, giving her a gentle kiss, smirking a bit even as his knee pressed hard against her.

A gasp escaped her as her body arched up against him once more, followed by a sudden, quick inhalation. There was a sort of fear in her eyes though, a response to his unexpected tenderness with her. Even coupled with the more forceful actions, she was unsure and confused. Tender was not something that Tsukiko was accustomed to; Kazuko, yes, but not her, and those emotions, the sensations, were largely limited to the other's memories and subconscious. Her body quivered just slightly as she lay beneath him, but she knew that there was neither any way to escape nor any will in her to truly do so. "What... are you doing?" The words were whispered and a slight tinge of fear brought her pitch out higher than normal.

He pulled away at that, standing. He didn't answer her question, simply going around the room and collecting their various clothes. "Parts of me have been... altered by my other half. Sometimes those antiquated feelings like love and compassion slip through." He tossed her clothes down beside her, catching her eyes. "Meet me here tomorrow night." It was not a request.

She took them from him, shimmying into them compliantly. Her eyes watched his, her control still the dominating ones. "It may take a while, climbing and all." Nonetheless, she offered him a wink, smirking at him in the darkness.

He chuckled, pulling his own clothes on before snapping a finger. Like its own crack of lightning, he armor and robes reappeared around him, even as he watched her. "Then meet me on the street below, and allow me to take care of the rest."

Tsukiko nodded slowly, standing and watching him. "Your wish... my command... Mērō Viator." She offered a wink, smoothing out the bandages as she rewrapped what was left of them on her arms.

He stepped up to her, pulling her into an intense kiss, holding her close once more.

A small squeak escaped her as he pulled her close, and though she stiffened, she returned the kiss in kind nonetheless.

Suddenly they weren't in the belfry anymore, but on the street, once again getting drenched by the rain. He held the kiss for a while longer before pulling back, smirking. "See you tomorrow."
