Attempt One: Enticement
The house of the Elgang was silent. Elsword, Raven, and Chung had gone out somewhere, and Rena and Aisha had gone shopping. The only remaining resident of this large, manor-like home, was Eve. Eve was pacing in her room, which was locked, in front of a black, glass door which led to a small, two-person balcony. Eve had wanted to go with one of the two groups, but had no idea what the boys were going to do, and was not very good with shopping. Eve stopped pacing, the late afternoon sun illuminating her face, and opened the balcony door. The warm summer air rushed inside, but Eve just wanted to try and relax. Moby and Reby followed her outside, and she sat down on Reby, as was her habit. Instead of leaning against Moby for support, she leaned forward, cupping her face in her hands. The little black drone hovered in front of her face, and water began to fall onto his form. Eve's tears fell through her hands, yet she didn't care. She needed to relieve herself. Still crying, she stood up and held the railing, looking at Elder.
"Oh what am I to do?" She sobbed, "How can I do it? I have to tell him. No! He could reject me! I don't want to alter his mind. Should I?" Her tears subsided, and she let out a long sigh. She saw a group of people walking to the house, probably Elsword and the others. Eve got up, went inside, made sure the door was tightly locked, and went to bed. She knew everyone would be confused, possibly annoyed, but Eve couldn't bring herself to be in front of Rena right now. Not in this state, as she would be worried sick, and not leave her alone till Eve spilled the beans.
Meanwhile, downstairs.
"Eve! We're back!" Aisha called out, only to be greeted by silence.
"Where is she?" Elsword peered into the massive living room, to find it vacant.
"Maybe she's sleeping?" Raven pointed out the setting sun in the distance, "Might have wanted to turn in a little early today for some reason."
"I don't know." Chung said, and walked over to the stairs, "I'm going to check on her."
"Be careful. If she is sleeping you better not wake her." Rena warned. Rena had once woken Eve when she was sleeping, and was stuck in bed for a whole week, unable to move. She shuddered at the grim memory. Chung swallowed audibly, and walked up the stairs.
Chung stopped at his room to get changed out of his armor. He walked inside, the white and blue colors within making him relax. Complex machines decorated the room, which Chung used to keep his armor and Destroyer in top condition, and others to simply keep himself occupied when he had nothing to do. He put his cannon, pistols, and armor inside a large, white steel chest. He put in the code, and the chest clicked as it receded into the wall. Chung put on a pair of short cargo pants, and a plain white shirt. As he walked down the hall towards Eve's room, he could hear the rest of the gang downstairs, getting dinner ready. As Chung got to Eve's door, made out of two black metal panes which would slide open, he heard something.
"Is that...?" Chung gently placed his ear to the door, and confirmed his suspicion, "Is Eve...crying?"
Chung quickly walked back down the stairs, not wanting to disturb a saddened Eve. Everyone was sitting at the table, hot food set out. Rena only made five plates, as they assumed that Eve would not be coming. Raven looked up.
"Told you guys." He chuckled to himself. Elsword rolled his eyes.
"No. Not exactly what you thought." Everyone turned to looked at Chung, and he beckoned them to lean in closer, "When I got to Eve's room, I heard her crying." Everyone just stared at him.
"No way!" Aisha exclaimed, "Why would Eve cry?"
"How the hell should we know?" Rena pointed out, "We aren't her. What do you think Raven?" She looked at Raven, who was scratching his chin with his nasod arm.
"Hmm." Raven closed his eyes, as if trying to hear Eve upstairs. He sighed, "Once again, we could only know why if we were her or she tells us." Raven glanced at Chung. Hmm, maybe it's him? I always had a feeling that Eve had something towards him, and she might be starting to crack. However, I can't be sure. All I can do is guess.
"Is something on my face?" Chung asked Raven, seeing him looking at him.
"No, just thinking." He replied.
"Anyway, let's not over think it right now. Let's eat!" Rena said, and everyone began to eat. Raven and Elsword made plans to spar after dinner. Rena and Aisha were discussing something personal. Chung just sat there, eating quietly. After everyone was done eating, Chung volunteered to do the dishes, and the others left. As Chung let the sink fill with water, he heard someone coming downstairs.
"Do you... do you want some help with that?" Chung turned to see Eve standing in the door. He began to answer her, but was stopped short. He simply stared at her. She wasn't wearing either of her usual getups, but instead an intricate black dress, which revealed her cleavage. As soon as Chung's eyes began to move down, he turned back to the sink, stopping the water just in time before it overflowed. Why is she wearing that?! He glanced back at her, and why am I continuing to look at her?!
"Can I help?" Eve said. Hehe, I think it's working. Eve thought to herself. Chung still stared at the sink.
"Umm. Sure. You can dry." Chung said, starting to wash the dishes. Eve pouted, part of her plan going out the window.
"Okay." Eve took the towel, and dried the dishes Chung handed her. She kept looking at him. His blonde hair was pretty cute, and his eyes were beautiful. Oh, how much I want you Chung.
"Eve? We're done." Eve snapped back to reality, and realized that they were in fact done.
"Okay." Eve started to walk back to the stairs.
"Eve? Thanks for the help." Chung said, smiling. Eve blushed, and darted up the stairs.
Eve quickly went into her room and locked the door. She was quite happy. Despite how her getup didn't get the desired result, she still felt like she was getting closer to her goal. Eve wrapped herself in her covers, and drifted off to sleep, thinking of Chung and how happy she would be once he accepts her feelings. If he accepts her feelings. The grim possibility made her cringe.
Eve slowly woke up, hearing someone knocking on her bedroom door. It was the sound of metal on metal, so she was quite sure it was Raven. She got up, just in case it was a malfunction in his arm that she had to take care of. She unlocked the door, and the motion sensor instantly caused the door to open.
"Ah, Raven." Eve greeted her friend and looked at his arm, "Anything wrong?"
"I think so. I was sparring with Elsword, but it feels... stiff. I had a lot of trouble making it move properly and we had to stop."
"Alright, come on in. You know where to go. I have to get my tools." Eve went to her cabinet as Raven went through the door in the back of her room to her workspace. As Eve came in with a small box, Raven was already lying on the operating chair, his arm resting on the table next to him. Eve sat down, and began to remove the protective plating covering the sensitive wires and bio-genetic processors.
"Hmm."
"What the matter?" Raven turned to look at her.
"Not sure, everything seems to be fine."
"Well something's wrong, otherwise I'd still be out there sparring."
"Could you move each of your fingers?" Raven slowly curled each finger inward, starting with his thumb. When he reach his middle finger, Eve noticed something.
"Stop." Eve looked more closely, "Hmm. That is indeed a problem. The Drive core has become fused with the Bio-genetic processor controlling three of your fingers." Raven nodded, the only other person in the house capable of understanding what she was talking about, "Also, your El monitor seems to also have started to go out, making it more difficult for the bio-genetic processors to transmit the signals to the motion projector, resulting in the primary and secondary El restriction primers for both your heat and your rebound engines to become permanently inactive. It's a good thing you came when you did."
"So, what's the plan doctor?" Raven joked.
"I'll have to replace them. I have spare Bio-genetics and Drive cores on hand at all times, but I'll have to remake the El restriction primers from scratch, so absolutely no sparring till then." Raven groaned.
"Oh well, guess I don't have a choice." Raven glanced back at Eve as she began to remove the melted Drive core from his upper arm. Now's not a good time, but I gotta know, "Eve."
"Yes?" Eve said, not looking up from her work. She waited for his response as she retrieved the spare Drive core from her storage unit, as well as the processors.
"Why were you crying yesterday?" Raven asked bluntly.
"What? You must be mistaken." Eve said, trying to bluff her way through.
"Bullshit. I heard you. What's wrong?" Raven took the chance to leap on his assumption, "Is it Chung?" Eve stared at him. She flicked a switch and inputted a command, and the machine above the chair began to replace the processors automatically. Raven knew he struck gold.
"How do you know?"
"A suspicion I have had for awhile. I know a love when I see one, as I did have one myself. Care to explain? Maybe I can help in return for you fixing me up all the time." Eve knew she should, as she had no clue how to get to Chung, a human male.
"I-I want to make Chung realize just how much I want him. I want him to be mine, completely." Raven nodded, scratching his head.
"By completely you mean, intimately?" Eve blushed, but slowly nodded, "Nothing to be embarrassed about, I understand. I was the same myself when I first fell in love."
"How can I make him see?" Eve said, turning off the machine, and replacing the thick plates back onto his arm. After she was done, Raven stood up, and stretched.
"Well, there is one way. This will work on anyone, no matter how pure they be."
"What?!" Eve begged.
"Use your appearance. Act...well, sexy."
"But I tried that! I put this on and I helped him with the dishes." Eve pointed out the dress on the bed, and Raven looked over it. He sighed.
"More. You got to show more."
"More?"
"Yes. Barely cover yourself, wear something tight. But cover your...um...how should I say." Raven simply pointed at her privates, "Make sure that is covered well, don't overdo it. Show off your torso and thighs."
"I don't have anything like that!" Eve felt herself tearing up. Raven placed his human hand on her shoulder.
"Eve. Why not ask the rest of us for help? I bet Rena would be more than happy to help you, lewd as this might be, to get a new set of clothing for this occasion."
"Thank you Raven, I'll ask her."
"And don't worry about it being weird, me and Aisha will make sure to get Elsword out of the house somehow." With a gentle pat on the back, Raven walked into the corridor, the door closing behind him. Eve was so happy that she had such good friends. She put her tools away, and heard the door open again. She turned to see Rena walk into the room.
"Eve? Raven said you wanted to talk to me?" She seemed quite confused.
"Um...yes...um.." Eve stuttered.
"Eve, come on. You can tell me."
"Okay. First thing you need to know is..." Eve trailed off.
"Yes? Don't leave me hanging Eve." Rena laughed.
"I love Chung!" Eve said quickly, and stared at the ground. Rena just stood there, expression serious.
"Ah. So that's why. I see now. Now how can I help?"
"Um...Raven said I should try...using my...sex appeal." Eve blushed strongly, sighing as she thought of Chung's unwavering gaze affixing on her. She came back to reality, realizing Rena was standing right in front of her.
"Well, well, well! Someone's thinking naughty thing!" She laughed again as Eve blushed once again.
"W-Will you help?"
"Of course! You two would make such an adorable couple!"
"You think so?!"
"Oh I know so! Come to my room, I got quite a bit of things for you to try on." Eve hesitated, and looked at both of their chests.
"But I won't fit what you have."
"Don't worry, I'm going to have you look at a few dresses to see if you find one you like. Then we'll go to the city and I can get you a smaller size. Or if we have to, me and Aisha will torture you for the rest of the day with clothes shopping" Rena giggled, and started to pull Eve to her room. As soon as they left the room, they ran into Chung, and they all fell onto the floor. Eve became incredibly nervous, not wanting her plan to be exposed.
"Whoa, what's the big rush Rena?" Chung asked, getting up and offering Eve, who was closest, his hand. Resisting the urge to blush, Eve took his hand and stood up. Rena knew Eve wouldn't be able to talk her way out of a subtle interrogation from Chung, and leapt to save her.
"Well, Eve wanted to have a girl's day out with me. So I'm going to take her to Elder after I show her what I like to buy so we can help each other out." It was a decent excuse, and Chung seemed to buy it, seeming to stop listening at 'girl's day out'.
"Oh...alright then, umm you have fun then!" Chung hurried past the two and disappeared into his room. Within seconds, Eve could hear the sound of small, delicate machinery at work.
"Boys and their machines." Eve sighed.
"You're one to talk, always fiddling with your own machines." Rena teased, and Eve got embarrassed.
"That's different! I need to makes sure everything is in the right place in case Raven has a critical breakdown!"
"I'm just kidding Eve. You do what you want. Like wanting to ensnare a young, innocent boy in your devious, exotic web." Rena emphasized that last sentence, making Eve's face turn bright red. Laughing, Rena pulled her to her room, and locked the door.
"Alright, right this way my dear." Rena walked over to a massive set of doors, which led to her wardrobe. Aisha constantly joked that it felt like the house grew in size each time Rena went out to accommodate the amount of clothes they both buy. Eve understood why now, as the closet was huge.
"My clothes are over here, that side is Aisha's." Rena pointed out.
"Rena? That you?"
"Aisha? What you doing here?" Rena called back. Aisha walked around the corner, and walked up to them.
"I was gonna find something I could use to tease Elsword. Why is Eve here?" Aisha asked. Rena looked at Eve.
"You're the one who should say it girl." Eve nodded.
"I want to find something...sexy to wear."
"Why? I think I have the perfect style for you, but I want the reason first." Aisha was not content with the answer she was given.
"Umm...well..."
"Come on Eve!" Aisha was eager to learn what it was.
"C-C-Chung." Eve stuttered, and a wide smile stretched across Aisha's face.
"Heeheehee. I knew it! I knew you and Chung would get something going!"
"Not going yet. She's trying to give him a push in the right direction so to speak." Rena explained.
"I see. Well, you're in luck Eve! I got one of the most sexiest articles out there, but the order was messed up and it's a bit too small for me. It should fit you like a glove!" Aisha began to pull Eve, "Come on, this way."
Aisha pulled a black dress off the hangar, and Eve simply stared at it in amazement. It was perfect.
"You look happy, now let's get it on you."
It took some doing, but Eve eventually got into the dress, if it could even be called that. Rena walked off, and Aisha continued to smooth down her dress, not flinching as Eve squeaked as she ran her hand over her more personal areas.
"Alright! All smooth and hardly contained!" Aisha began to giggle, and Eve blushed, wondering how she looked. Rena ran back dragging a large mirror.
"Eve, you look bloody stunning!" Rena moved the mirror in front of her, "Look!"
Eve stared at the dress that clung tightly to her frame. The dark fabric was smooth and soft. It was more than revealing, and tight enough to even make Eve's breasts seem big. Her lower torso was well covered, so it wasn't over the top. Instead of normal stockings, it was instead replaced with two long, tight straps going down each leg, which made one's eyes fall to her eyes, making them look at her from the bottom to the top.
"Stunning my ass, she's fucking hot!" Aisha said, waving a finger in Rena's face. She smirked at Eve, "Some lucky man's gonna be real happy. Man, I never realized how thin you are Eve." Aisha slid her hands down her sides, down to her thighs. She blushed wildly, "Alright, I'll get Elsword out of the house, so you can work your magic." Aisha walked out of the wardrobe, and Rena placed a hand on Eve's shoulder.
"Eve. Don't try to be someone you're not. Just be yourself." Eve nodded, and they walked out into the hallway. Rena stopped her again, "Just use your looks to get his attention. Then, tell him how you feel." They jumped as a girlish shriek came from downstairs.
"Noooo! Help! Don't make me wear it!" Elsword screamed like a baby.
"Shut up and do it Elsword! I'm bored and you're gonna look girly in this dress whether you want to or not!" Aisha yelled, and Raven was heard laughing hysterically.
"Well, I gotta help get the house empty. Good luck Eve." Rena gently kissed her forehead, and ran down the stairs. A few seconds later, Elsword shrieked again.
"Aaaahhh! Rena! The fuck are you doing?!"
"Put it on tough guy! What are you scared of?!" Elsword screamed again.
"Raven! Help me!" Elsword's only answer was another continuous round of mad laughter, "Raven you asshole!" Eve heard a door slam shut, and Elsword's cries of torment growing fainter. As Eve walked by Chung's bedroom, she noticed the door was open. As she peeked inside, she realized it was vacant. Perhaps he was downstairs. Eve walked into the living room, and saw an all too familiar head of blonde hair. Eve braced herself, Be normal. Normal. She reminded herself several times before silently walking over to the couch.
"Chu~ng" Eve almost sang his name, making him jump. He turned to look at her, yet this ended up with a long round of double-takes.
"Umm...I...er..." Chung seemed to put something in his pocket, Eve didn't care.
"Chung...could I talk to you about something?" Eve sat down next to him, and he turned his head, feeling rude as he would be bound to stare. Oh Chung. Please stare at me, I want you so.
"Um, what is it?"
"Chung...for a long time, I...saw you...you...I..." Eve was to nervous. She couldn't get the words out. Chung turned to look at her, trying to coax the words out of her. However, his loving gaze did the opposite, and Eve began to breathe hard, "You...um...I...I-I-I...h-ha-have..."
"Eve? What is wrong with you? If you have something to say, say it." Chung said bluntly.
Eve stared at him. What? How could he say that? Why is he getting annoyed? Something wrong with me?! Eve stood up suddenly, fists clenched tightly. Without a word, she began to walk to the backyard door. She heard Chung stand up, but refused to look at him. He had hurt her, she was done. It was over.
"Eve, wait! I'm-"
"Shut up!" Eve turned, her eyes overflowing with tears, "You're an ass! I hate you! I hate you! I-I-I love you! But I see you don't want me here!" As Chung stood there in confusion, Eve ran out the back door, and into the forest.
"Eve! Wait!" Chung ran after her. Damn it! She doesn't have her drones with her. If she runs into a monster out here. No! I won't let that happen, "I'm sorry! Come back!"
Eve sat down inside a small, rock cave. Crying, she could hear Chung calling for her. Why should I come back? You couldn't even bother to wait for me to speak. Eve sobbed, her dreams had all fallen apart in one swift, devastating moment. She curled into a ball, her head between her knees. Chung's pleads grew louder. Eve then looked up, as the light in front of her dimmed.
"Chu-" Eve's eyes widened. It wasn't Chung, but a very large, and very angry, bear. Eve knew she was in trouble. She had no room to escape, and her drones were not present. Eve was terrified. Am I going to die here? At the feet of a bear? The animal roared, and Eve screamed, collapsing onto the floor. Then she heard a familiar voice.
"Eve!" Chung yelled, making the bear turn to look at him. He slammed his fist into the bear's nose, then leapt over the massive beast, landing in front of Eve, "Eve! Are you okay?!"
"I'm fine." Eve saw the bear raise up on its hind legs, a strong arm ready to strike Chung, "Look out!"
Without looking away, Chung drew one of his silver pistols, and fired it over his shoulder. The beast stood there, motionless for a few seconds, then fell to the floor. Chung put his gun away, and picked up Eve in his arms. Without a word, he began to walk back to the house. Chung sat on the couch, waiting for Eve to fully recover, and wrapped his arm around her.
"Eve. I'm so sorry. I'm a total ass, I shouldn't try to make you say something if it's difficult for you."
"No. It's my fault. For wanting something that could never happen." Eve looked down.
"Eve. I have something myself to say." He reached into his pocket, and withdrew a small, black, metal object. He placed it in Eve's hand, and she looked at it, "It's nothing special, just a little thing I made since you seemed sad lately."
"Chung...it's so pretty." It was a small, black iron locket. A button was on the side, which she pressed to reveal a place to hold a small item, a picture, and it also had a small clock in it, "My god. Chung, how long did it take you to make this?"
"Not too long, I've made things like it before." Chung placed a hand on her shoulder, "Now Eve, can you tell me what it was you wanted to say now?"
"Chung...for a long time, since I really got you know you. I-I..." Eve stopped, getting nervous again.
"Take your time, no rush." Eve stood up, pulling Chung up as well. She took a deep breath, and spoke.
"I love you Chung." Eve said. He looked at her in amazement, "I know what you're going to say. I know a Nasod and a Human could never be together. I'm sorry for being hopeful." As Eve turned to leave, Chung turned her around.
"Eve. The truth is, is that I made that locket for you quite some time ago. I...I myself have like you for awhile, and I wanted to give that to you as a confession."
"Really? I'm afraid I don't believe you." Eve was sad to say it, but she had many doubts about this.
"Want me to prove it?" Eve nodded. Chung placed his hands on her sides, her skin surprisingly smooth and soft. He pulled her in close, closed his eyes, and gently kissed her. Eve closed her own eyes, and wrapped her arms around him. He pulled off after a few moments, "Proof enough?"
Eve simply nodded, and pulled him in again, kissing him strongly. Oh Chung. How I've waited for this day. Eve moaned, as Chung unexpectedly slid his tongue into her mouth. Moving so fast? Oh, what do I care? You can take me right here, right now, on this very couch if you want. Eve played with his tongue with her own inside her mouth. They were then interrupted by a gasp. They had been so involved, they had not heard the door opened, and turned to see a dumbfounded Elsword staring at them, pointing at them, and his mouth hanging open.
"Wh-Wh-Wha...how...when..." Elsword stuttered, jumping as the rest of the gang walked back inside.
"Awww, they make such a cute couple! Just as a I told you so!" Rena sighed, and a wide grin stretched across Elsword's face.
"Well, so Chung's got a new little-" Before Elsword could finish his little taunt, Chung drew a pistol, and fired a warning shot. It grazed just centimeters from his face, and removed several strands of hair in the process. Elsword shut up.
"Well, I don't know about you, but I think these two lovebirds should go somewhere a bit more private than the living room." Raven said, pointing at the stairs, "No offense but some of us want to relax ourselves from what we've been doing today."
Chung, much to his own discomfort, swept Eve into his arms, and then slowly, and quite painfully, walked over to the stairs. A faint sound was heard as he reached the top of the stairs. It sounded like skin hitting skin, so they assumed someone slapped Elsword, possibly Aisha.
"Well, my dear." Chung smiled as Eve blushed, "Where shall we go?"
"Can we go to my room? I wish to sleep." Eve noticed a heavy sigh come from Chung's mouth, and smiled, "Don't you dare think you'd be leaving that room." Chung set Eve on the floor.
"Well, I need to get changed into my sleeping attire. You go ahead, my love, and wait for me. I won't be long."
Eve waited patiently, sitting on her bed in her sleeping gown. She stood up as the door slid open, pulling Chung inside and locking the door. Embracing each other, they fell onto the bed as they kissed each other. Chung wrapped themselves up in the covers, and held her tightly.
"Goodnight Eve. I love you."
"Goodnight Chung. If you leave you'll pay." Eve giggled, and Chung swallowed as she knew it was a literal warning. Chung brushed it off, as he had no intention of leaving. Together, the two new founded lovers drifted to sleep. Tomorrow, Eve thought, I will need to talk to him about how much more I want.
