The walk home
Disclaimer: I do not own defiance or its characters
Summary: This is the sequel to my story the wedding reception. What happens with Irisa and Tommy after the party. Still filling in the blank between 1x10 and 1x11. Credit goes to Malfoy Snogger for the inspiration/push. Harmless fluff, except for some human and votan cursing and some implications and the end of the story.
The party had just gotten out and tommy had a better time than he was expecting too. He had ended up spending the entire night with irisa and was in such a spectacular mood nothing could get him down. Tommy was leaving as he saw irisa talking to some of the spirit riders. He had hoped for the night to continue, but he decided not to push his luck and headed home. However, he wasn't more than a few feet away from the Needwant when he pulled in a different direction by a familiar shade of red.
"Walk me home"? Tommy heard as irisa kept pulling him in the general direction. Tommy wasn't going to say no, but he also knew that he wasn't really being asked a question. Smiling to himself, he said "Funny, I never expected you to be the kind of girl that needed an escort home." Irisa followed with, "You do realize I'm still carrying knives right, I wouldn't push it." Tommy just smiled and nodded as they continued to walk.
It was a beautiful night in defiance as the walked down the street. There weren't that many people as they pretty much had the street to themselves. Tommy was looking at Irisa in the night's sky and was in complete awe. The way her orange skin looked in the moonlight made her absolutely radiant. It was then tommy realized, "Damn, I really have it bad for this girl." He never expected it to get this far with her, especially after she shot him down after they had sex in the lawkeeper's office. He knew not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but it was gnawing at him what had changed. So against his better judgment, as they got to her and Nolan's place, he asked.
"I thought you didn't date", he said as she turned and gave him a quizzical look. "I was surprised to see you at the ceremony and stunned to see you show up at the reception." He saw her get the You're an idiot look, but he kept going digging his own grave. "Ive got to know, what changed?"
Irisa changed her look and looked like she was actually thinking about it. After what seemed like an eternity she surprised tommy with her answer, "you're different". It was tommy's turn to be quizzical as she continued. "It wasn't just the fact that you beat the shtako out of Daigo after you stopped me from killing him. But it was also you didn't tell Nolan after what we've done." Tommy knew BOTH meanings of that sentence as she continued. "You're 'persistent', but in this age, you're a good guy."
Tommy smiled, curiosity satisfied, and responded with "I can live with that, Night Irisa". He turned to walk way from her, but once again he didn't get really far. He heard quickening footsteps behind him as Irisa caught up behind him, turned him around and kissed him. Tommy felt like his brain was circling the earth in the ark-belt. All that he could manage to say was "wow". Irisa smiled at him and said "You know…..Nolan wont be back until the morning." Tommy was shocked yet again, She's not implying what I think she's implying. "Apparently, he had reconciled with Kenya and was going to get his moneys worth." Tommy didn't have to think twice as he pulled her back to the door and said "Don't have to tell me twice."
The end
