Honesty and an Invite

[Raelyn]

Y'san took a deep breath, looking in the mirror in his bathroom. He nervously reached a hand up to his hair and attempted to smooth it. Then a second later he ran his hand through it. Y'san wasn't sure if he liked it smoothed down or mussed up. He couldn't decide, but made the decision to make no decision at all. He gave a sigh and turned away from the small mirror, exited the bathroom, and moved into the bedroom of his weyr. Nrieth was dozing on the dragon bed. He'd been sunnign himself most of the day, obviosuly in a lazy mood, and now that it was getting dark out, it was also getting chillier in the Weyr so he decided to doze. It was late december, cold enough that even during the day the people of the Weyr had to be bundled up. And at night, it was frigid. Y'san did a once-over in his head. Blue button-down long sleeved shirt that matched Nrieth's hide - check. brown wherryhide jacket - check. Grey full-length trousers - check. Nice pair of boots - check. Okay, he was ready. It wasn't such a big deal. Y'san tried to convince himself of that. But after Aireth's flight, and their night together, and that kiss, he hadn't seen Transiit much around. Then again, the whole Weyr was still mourning Raiin's loss even months after it happened. He supposed he ought not to be so self-centered. But Transiit kept popping into his head at the most inconvenient moments.

He shook his head to clear the errant thoughts and looked back at the sleeping Blue, a smile on his face. See you in a little bit love Nrieth snorted softly, touching his rider's mind lightly before falling back into slumber. Y'san glanced at the calendar. 2 weeks until the Turningday Ball.

That's what he was dressing up for. More specifically, he was about to go and ask Transiit to go to the ball with him. He felt a small smile tug at his lips. She was beautiful, and fiery, and... he really, really liked her.

Y'san left his weyr and walked into the hallway, heading for the weyr he'd memorized his way to and from on the one occasion he'd been there. Just in case.

Y'san paused at her doorway and smoothed down the front of his shirt, ran a hand through his hair again, and took a second, steadying breath. Then Y'san reached forwards and knocked on the door. Y'san smiled and examined the stone of the wall.

[inkith]

"ACE!!" Transiit screamed, wisps of hair flying free from the delightful braid se had managed to pull her locks into not one hour ago. 

---------

It had been strangely neat at the start of the afternoon. Admittedly, it was for good reason. She was going to walk around and try to find Y'san... Ok ok.. It wasn't the best plan ever. Wander around and hope the one guy you're looking for just happens to show up. 

She didn't really know why she was looking for him. The green rider did know that she kept dreaming about hid kisses. I mean she didn't just like his kisses. But they were heavenly. Of course she wasn't just going to jump him. She wanted to talk. Just talk for a while. She hadn't seen him at all since their last, somewhat awkward encounter, so they hadn't really been given the chance to just talk. And if he wanted to kiss her, well, she wasn't going to argue. 

But she had a plan, not a very good plan and yet, Ace still found a way to ruin it. 

She supposed her nerves made the situation worse. Transiit couldn't find her boots. And they were not just any old pair, they were her absolute favorite. Sleek black leather, lined with soft pelt on the inside and perfectly made to fit her feet. 

And they were gone. Transiit knew that she had put them in the corner, inside that chest, under those leathers. But where they were know? Only Faranth knew...

It wasn't until she rounded the corner that she realized they hadn't disappeared off the face of Pern. They had been right under her nose the whole time. Although technically now they were right under Ace's nose. 

"Nooooo!!!" The greenrider lunged forward to drag the boots from her dogs mouth.  Her abysmal puppy obviously didn't understand Transiit's angry tone and danced away from her, happy to play her little game. 

Transiit scrambled to her feet, knocking over the table in her haste to dash after her furry little friend. 

Seychelle looked up to watch their antics. They were knocking over vases, chairs and anything else that got in their way. Ace had never looked so happy, and Transiit was usually not so livid. The lizard twittered at Transiit, but gave up when she knew that the rider wasn't listening.

Aireth was watching too. Keeping an eye out that neither of the two involved would hurt each other too badly. 

"ACE!!!"

The scream almost blocked the knock from being heard, but Aireth was paying attention. That was when she decide to involve herself

Ahem... Tran? I believe someone just knocked on the door. You should probably answer it 

Transiit had managed to wrest the boots out of the canines grip and strode to the door with the slobbery leather dripping onto the floor

The greenrider yanked it open, speaking harshly almost screaming at the person outside, Aireth winced. 

"What do you WANT?!"  

Her face softened in her rage when she registered who it was

"Oh no..."

(((please excuse the spelling mistakes. Auto correct is extremely annoying )))

[Raelyn]

Y'san winced as he heard Transiit's familiar voice screaming fomr inside her weyr. She was yelling about her puppy, if he wasn't mistaken. A small smile krept its way onto her face despite his best attempts not to. He was about ot knock again when he heard her coming towards it and then he was face-to-face with a very angry Transiit. Almost as scary as a very angry Aireth!

He took a half-step back as she screamed at him, a hurt look passing over his features rather quickly. She might not have seen it if she wasn't looking carefully. He could hear a dribblign sound and lowered his green gaze from her fury-lightened eyes to the boots in her hand.

"Uhm.. Hi Transiit. Look, I was going to.. I mean..." He took a deep breath and met her eyes again. "I came here to ask you..." He couldn't do it. She wasn't in a good mood. Who knows if she would say yes? She was as likely ot scream at him again, and he would rather not ruin any chance of a relationship by making her more angry.

"You know what? Maybe... Maybe I should come back later?" He managed, putting a small smile on his face, even tohugh he didn't real like smiling. Honesty was useful but... Not at that moment.

Nrieth touched Aireth's mind sleepily and made a half-asleep comment to the effect that their humans were beign very silly about this and did she want to go with him?

(ooc: haha Nrieth's better half-asleep at asking than Y'san is being awake. And yea,h I said he'd be okay with her yelling at him, but i realized that my muse wanted him to be a little hurt ^_^ )

[inkith]

"Oh no no!! Please don't go..." She saw the hurt clearly written on his face. She grabbed it and held it close to hers forcing him to look into her eyes. "I want you... I mean, I want you to be here." She glanced away, unusually shy, but with her fingers still framing his chin. "I've missed you."

Now she knew what she had to do. She had to apologise. She didn't think that she could remember any time she had apologised to an actual human. She was usually too proud to let anyone but Aireth hear her apologies. But she really liked Y'san and would not let him leave now.

"Look. I'm really really sorry I shouted at you. As you can see, Ace chewed his way through more of my clothes. But, er, I was, well... Going to look for you. And I wanted to, um, look.... Good... Please please stay and say whatever it is you wanted to say... Please?" She finished lamely almost questionably when she realised her face was now very close to his, seen as she was still holding firmly to his chin to stop him from running away from her or something.

Well I definitely want to go with you love. But I really do think mine is finally coming to her senses. I mean... Weirdly... She apologised. I don't think I've ever heard her say that to anyone but me. Yours must be very special to her...

[Raelyn]

Y'san looked up again at Transiit's words. No? She didn't want him to go? He could only meet her eyes as she pulled his face closer to hers. He wasn't too upset about that, though. She wanted him to be here! She wanted him, is what she started to say... Y'san wasn't going ot if she didn't want him to! He actually came closer to her slightly, a question in his eyes.

"He really chewed your clothes again?" He murmered softly, a smile playing on his lips. She really, really was sorry, he could tell. Transiit. He wasn't that hurt when he thought she didn't want him, was he? Y'san wasn't sure.

Y'san reached his hands up to her face, then bent over a little so that he was even closer to her.

"Don't worry. I'll always forgive you..." He paused. "Cna I kiss you? And that wasn't what I was going to ask at first... we'll get to that..." He said, smiling, a hand touching her hair. She was beautiful , even when she was angry, and even more so when she was sorry.

[inkith]

The SunsetRider sighed. “Oh yes, he seems to know exactly when I want to where something and makes it his mission to destroy it.”

She blushed. ’He’ll always forgive me? Always…’

“Always...” She breathed aloud, as both an affirmation to herself about what he said, and the answer to his question.

Transiit pressed herself against him, so that they were melded against one another from knee to chest, and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, linking her hands together behind his neck, her fingers playing in the hair she found there.

She smiled up at him, raising herself onto the tips of her toes.

“You never have to ask, ever. You can always kiss me.”

[Raelyn]

Y'san felt his breath catch in his throat as he saw her blush at his words. He felt heat suffuse his face in return, but it didn't stop his smile from growing. He saw her lips move and it took hima second to understand that she'd breathed out the word he'd said. Always. Well, of course. He would always forgive her. Wait... did she mean?...

He practically melted as she pressed against him, wrappign her arms around him and playing with his hair. He bent his neck down towards Transiit, grinning.
"I'm glad..." He murmered, and then his lips were on Transiit's and he had his arms around her, too. He fell into the kiss and smiled through it. Amazing, like her. What he'd come to ask could wait...

[inkith]

Transiit kissed him back wholeheartedly, teasing his lips with hers, and playing an intricate game of tag with his tongue. She pulled back though, looking into his eyes.

“So what did you want to tell me? I’m very impatient and this is really bugging me. What brought you all the way to my end of town? Other than me of course," she teased throwing a wink at him, "I’m curious to know.”

She wasn’t just curious, she was desperate, desperate to know what had brought him all the way to her Weyr if it was only a question.

The SunsetRider placed a kiss on his nose and stepped back from him reluctantly, not wanted to get distracted from her urge to know by his closeness.

Taking his hand, she pulled him in the general direction of the little couch-love seat she had in her Weyr.

[Raelyn]

Y'san responded in kind as their kiss turned passionate, but rather too quickly Transiit pulled back and looked up at him. He smiled, teasingly, and touched her cheek.

"Well...." He started. She kissed him on his nose and he stared questioningly at her as she stepped back, but then she pulled him into her weyr to the little couch and he was grinning. As he sat down he put an arm around her, and then cleared his throat. Why was he nervous? After that reception? He really just wanted to kiss her again, but she looked really, really eager to know what he wanted to ask her, so he might as well.

"I wanted to ask if you wanted to go to the Turning Day ball with me, Transiit. Because I'd love to go with you." He said, green eyes twinkling.

Nrieth crooned happiness sleepily and touched Aireth's mind lightly. Yay!

[inkith]

Transiit's eyes widened... Not quite believing what she was hearing.

"Wait... You want to go with me?"

Of course he wants to go with you. After the way he contributed to your kissing before, I think he very much wants to go with you. Or get sidetracked in your Weyr beforehand.

Transiit blushed at the insinuation. "AIRETH!" She said aloud...

Well it's true, are you going to answer him or not?

The dragonrider turned back towards Y'san, "Really? You're being serious?" She waited a moment.

Aireth sighed talking to Nrieth, 'I'm amazed how silly girl can be sometimes...'

"Well of course. Yes Yes Yes Yes YES!" Transiit looped her arms back over his shoulders kissing him again.

[Raelyn]

Y'san twirled a strnad of her hiar around his finger, smiling at Transiit. "Of course I want to go with you Transiit. There's no-one else I'd rather go with. Other than Nrieth, of course, but he doesn't count." He chuckled.

"What did she say this time?" He asked, grinning rather impishly. She turned towards him again and then he got worried that she didn't want to go with him...

Humans are always somewhat silly. Today just so happens that they're sillier thna usual! Nrieth joked.

"Well.. Yes... But if you don't I mean..." Did she just like kissing him? No, he couldn't believe that... And he was right to not doubt her. Her enthusiastic outburst of 'yes yes yes yes yes!' convinced Y'san and so did Transiit's next actions.

Her arms went around him again and their lips were once more as entwined as their bodies. He kissed her back passionately and enthusiastically, then scooped her up and carried her in the direction of her private room.

"We have some time to kill, love..." He murmered, green eyes sparkling.
