The apartment was cool, almost cold considering the thick summer heat outside.
Two cups rested in the sink, remnants of iced tea still kissing the sides of the glass.
The central air conditioning created a low hum throughout the almost empty home.
Papers were strewn across a desk in sitting area, and a red guitar leaned up against the couch dangerously leaning to the left.
A giggle cut through the silence.
"You didn't really? Did you?"
Down the hall on the last room to the left the two sat in his bed, her shoes off in the corner and her hands clutching her stomach as tears pearled in her eyes.
The man leaned over her still speaking causing her to gasp for breath, "What else could I do? I showed her the hotdog autographed in ketchup."
She broke into another fit of laughter flopping backwards on the pillow. He fell beside her and propped his head on one arm to watch her.
"You're –gasp- lying."
He picked up her delicate hand and held in his larger one, "Not once have I ever lied to you, I don't think I would suddenly start now."
She laughed and sat up, her hand slipping out of his in the process. "Why is it so cold in here. I think I can see my breath!" She rubbed her hands together and smiled at him, "Maybe we should have had cocoa, ne?"
He slipped off his thin red sweater that was made of light cotton. "Wear this."
"Where are you going?"
As soon as he handed her the sweater he had got up and reached back and grabbed her wrist, the angle made sure she could see his lean muscles in his back through the tight wife beater, "Follow me."
Her pink polka dotted ankle socks followed his bare feet out of the room.
He walked to the living room and placed a blank disk in the CD player. "This a new song I've been working on, its called Heat. I want you to listen to it."
"Ayy you know every time you open your mouth it's beautiful."
"But listen to it."
He put one hand at the small of her back and started to sway, "It's different ne? I decided to add some flamenco. Usa-chan, do like it?"
He pulled her close and dipped, watching the blush rise in her cheek as their bodies drew closer.
The beat got louder as he tapped to the tune, "Do you like it?"
"Where did you learn to dance like this?"
He spun her around in a circle, "After Galaxia we had time to ourselves I traveled to Spain and saw people dancing like this in Barcelona."
"You went by yourself?"
"Si."
"Didn't you get lonely?"
"No."
"…Because you found someone there?" The song ended with a final stomp of the foot from the dance, and he lifted her on the counter, standing between her legs.
His red sweater came down to the middle of her, hiding her little pastel pink short, and making her creamy skin seem that much paler.
He lifted her chin so she was looking at him, "And if I did?"
Her phone rang in her tan satchel in the couch. She tried to slip of but his body blocked her, "That must be Darien…"
"And if I did?"
She twisted her head out of his hands, "That would be fine."
"I've never lied to you, are you lying to me?"
He laced his arms around her butt and pulled them even closer together so their pelvises touched.
She looked down biting her lower lip, "Maybe."
He perked up, leaning closer. "Maybe?"
She looked up at him, lessening the distance between them. "Yes."
He pushed his lips against hers, "Fuck yes."
His hand traveled to her knees and smoothed up her thighs intent on taking off the sweater when three sharp knocks hit the door, and as Seiya turned towards it Serena swung her leg over and walked into the kitchen to pour herself a glass of cold water.
He muttered curses to himself as he took a second to look to the peephole before unlocking the door. "Yaten."
His smaller framed brother of sorts, strode into the room, whipping of his silver shades and fanning himself with his other hands. "It is me or is it hotter in here than outside?"
He walked into the kitchen and put his hand over hers as she tried to open the refrigerator, casually slinging an arm around her small waist, "No…It's you."
