Stage Two: Please?

Eve was abruptly woken as Chung rolled over in the bed, wrapping his arm around her. Eve felt sad, as she couldn't roll over to look at him. She shifted uncomfortably, and Chung released his grip, and she immediately rolled over and kissed him. Chung placed his hand behind her head, keeping her close. Chung stared at her, the early morning sun illuminating her features.

"You're beautiful Eve." He kissed her again as she blushed, "I always wanted you. For so long."

"I wanted you too. You make me feel...special." Chung wasn't sure what she meant, but by the tone in her voice, he could create a well educated guess.

"Eve! Chung! Wake up! Breakfast is ready!" Rena yelled from the kitchen. Chung started to get out of bed to go to his room and dress.

"Chung...don't go yet." Eve whined, and as Chung looked at her, he couldn't bring himself to leave, "They can wait. Saying 'good morning' can't."

Without warning, Eve leapt at him, and pinned him to the bed. She wrapped her arms around him, as did he. They held each other tightly, kissing passionately. Eve's tongue danced with his inside their mouths, their lips thoroughly soaked. As Eve finished, Chung decided to give her a surprise. Eve tried to sit up, but Chung held her unrelenting, and kissed her neck. Eve clutched at his back, moaning as he licked her throat, gently biting her skin. Chung finished with a simple, short kiss on her cheek, and winked at her slyly.

"I love you Chung." She whispered in his ear. He shivered for a few seconds as she breathed on his neck, her warm breath contrasting against the cold morning air.

"I love you to Eve. It sucks I have to leave, but it's time to get dressed. If we don't hurry Rena will-"

"What's taking you so-EEEK!" Rena had barged into the room, and quickly squealed as she saw she was intruding. Her current situation, and possibly well being, rested on either Eve's kindness, or whether Chung could calm her, "I'm sorry!"

"Rena!" Eve shrieked, thoroughly embarrassed and angry at the intrusion, "You're gonna pay for this!"

"Eve!" Chung restrained her from running out into the hallway, "Calm down and listen to me. Rena won't tell anyone, and she didn't know why we were taking so long. She probably thought we were still asleep." Eve slowly calmed down, focusing on Chung's soft voice.

"Alright Chung. But if Elsword or Raven make any stupid assumptions, I'm going to beat the crap out of them."

"I think that would be nice to see." Chung laughed, and hoped Elsword could keep his big mouth shut for once in his life. Maybe Rena will tell him to shut up at breakfast. Chung walked over to the door, "See you in the hall." Eve blew him a kiss, and Chung grabbed the air, as if catching it. Then, without even warning him, Eve started to quickly remove her night gown. Chung gasped, and quickly ran out of door, shutting it behind him. Not before he saw her completely naked in the room.

"Oh man...did I just...see her..." Chung put his face in his palms, ashamed of himself for not leaving earlier. Silently, Chung got dressed, and left his room and went downstairs. Everyone, including Eve, was sitting at the table. Eve was blushing wildly, and Chung assumed it was because of what happened a few minutes ago. Eve was not even mad, she seemed apologetic as she looked at him. Elsword had a massive smile on his face

"Finally fucked, huh?" Elsword said bluntly, laughing as Eve put her face in her hands. Rena and Raven both gave him a dark glare. Chung however, was the only one to see the tears run down her face. Angered, Chung drew a pistol, and fired a shot at Elsword, who blocked it with a sword appearing out of nowhere. Before he could react, Chung punched him square in the face as the sword dissipated.

"How much of an ass can you be Elsword?!" Elsword looked up in confusion, and then they heard Eve begin so cry. Everyone turned, staring coldly at Elsword.

"You jerk!" Aisha slapped him with enough force to knock him to the floor.

"Ow! I'm sorry Eve, I'm an idiot." Elsword apologized as he got up.

"Damn right you are!" Rena slapped the other side of his face, "How can anyone be so rude?!"

"I agree. Elsword, you should learn what not to say." Raven gently placed a hand on Eve's shoulder, "I'm sorry for his stupidity, do you want to beat the crap out of him?"

"No." Eve shook her head, still sobbing, "It's alright. I...I think I should go."

"Eve. Do you want me to come with you?" Chung offered, worried. He was relieved as she nodded. Elsword stood up and walked up to her.

"Eve, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have said something so stupid. I understand if you won't forgive me, but please accept my apology."

"It's alright Elsword." Eve said, looking at the ground, "It...It's nothing." Eve and Chung walked to the front door, and left the house. Everyone turned as Raven sighed heavily.

"What?" They all asked.

"Seems she isn't quite content with what she has right now. You're little comment did in fact break down a mental wall so to speak." Raven said, and Rena stared at him.

"You mean...she wants to..."

"Yep. I'm more than sure. The real problem rests with Chung. Would he do it? Even if it was for her? He's much too...pure." Everyone nodded in agreement, then sat back down to eat. Events would play out as they were meant to.

Eve and Chung had walked all the way to the city, Eve completely silent. Chung wondered if she really was okay. It seems like what Elsword said touched something sensitive.

"Chung? Could we maybe go to the park? I have something I need to ask you." Chung nodded, and they turned the corner to walk through the market. Many shops were flowing with business, and Chung wondered if they should get something to eat. He dismissed the thought, seeing that Eve really wanted to talk about something. When they reached the empty park, Eve walked over to a large shady tree, pulling Chung behind her. They sat silently for several minutes. Chung chose to let her speak on her own time.

"Is everything alright Eve?" She simply nodded, still not speaking. Then, she turned to look at him.

"Chung, how much do you love me?"

"What a silly question." Chung held her tightly, "I love you from the bottom of my heart, there is nothing I wouldn't do to protect you Eve. All I want to be is the one who makes you happy. Why do you ask?"

"Chung..." Eve hugged him tightly, "I'm so sorry, I'm so selfish."

"Eve...what is it? Please tell me."

"It's about what Elsword said." Chung stared at her, confused, "I...I do want you...like that."

"You mean...have...sex?" Eve nodded, blushing and looking at the grass. Chung stood up, not sure what to say. Eve stared up at him, "Eve, I'm sorry. I...I just can't bring myself to move forward that fast. It's only been a single day since we confessed to each other."

"I'm sorry. I'm so stupid."

"You are if you think you're stupid. You're a Nasod, I'm human. You couldn't know how I feel about love, and my being human makes it more complicated. Some day, but not now. Let's wait, so I can make myself ready."

"Okay Chung." She blushed again as he stared into her eyes intently. Keep looking at me like that until you're ready, and I'll wait forever, "Chung...I love it when you look at me like that." He blushed at this, then smiled.

"Oh? And what about this?" Chung cupped her face in his hands, and licked her lips before kissing her. Eve held his shoulders, not wanting to let go, not caring if anyone saw. Chung eventually pulled away, "Come on, how about we head back?"

"Yes, I have to finish something for Raven anyway." Chung looked at her, "His arm's having problems."

"Aah. Well, there was something special I wanted to show you anyway, but Raven's arm comes first." Chung held her hand, and they walked back home. Just like Chung, always concerned for others.

As Eve and Chung walked up to the house, they saw Elsword practicing his moves in the large field next to the house, where they all went to spar, and a very bored Raven. He sat cross legged on a fallen tree that everyone tended to use as a seat when they had group sparring sessions. As Elsword saw them walking up, he stopped his session, and waved.

"Hey guys! Welcome back." Eve waved back, and Elsword sighed, realizing that Eve did really forgive him, "How was town? Did you eat there?"

"No, not yet." Chung replied, and noticed Raven walking up to them.

"Well, there's stuff in the fridge as usual. Excuse me." Elsword walked a fair distance away from them, and continued his practice.

"Eve. When can I get those new primers? I feel like I'm going to get rusty." Raven stretched his arm, obviously sore.

"Rusty? It's only been a day."

"Combat skills can be lost fast."

"I'm going to start working on it now, you'll get it soon." Raven nodded, and sat back down. Chung opened the door, and they both went inside. Eve went straight for the stairs, greeting Rena and Aisha as they passed the living room. Chung put a hand on her shoulder when they got to the second floor hallway.

"Eve? May I come watch you work? I never have and I'm quite interested."

"Sure thing dear. Although I work really fast, so you might not be able to see much, as the part Raven needs is quite small and kinda simple."

"I don't care, I just don't want to leave you." Chung strongly held her hips, and she blushed. Chung laughed, "Ah, I love it when you blush Eve, you're so cute." The red hue on her face grew darker.

"S-Shut up!" Eve covered her face, embarrassed, and Chung continued to laugh. My Chung thinks I'm cute! Oh how can so many dreams come true in such short a time. "Anyway, I have to hurry up and do this so you can show me this surprise."

"Eve, take your time. It's nothing special really." Eve pouted at this.

"Anything from you is more than special." Eve's door opened, and she went straight to her small, indoor workshop. She looked out the window near her bench and saw Elsword and Raven in the backyard. Good, I can just holler for him once I'm done. She set out an abundance of complex parts, small and fragile. Chung watched intently as her delicate hands molded the parts into a small sphere, almost instantly. Before he could finish deducing what she had for parts, she had a small orb in her hand, with a deep red glow. She set it aside and began to work on another, with similar parts that were not as fragile. Despite this, Eve worked slower, as if these parts had to be just right. After another ten minutes, Eve opened the workshop window.

"Raven! It's done, so come in so I can hook it up." Eve giggled softly as Raven practically sprinted into the house.

"Should I wait in your room during the procedure?" Chung didn't know exactly what Eve had to do. She simply nodded.

"The process is a bit...um...messy. Could you do me a favor and press the blue button next to the door lock?"

"Sure." Chung walked out into Eve's room, and Raven walked into the workshop. Chung pressed the button, and a silent hum was heard briefly. He sat down on the bed, and waited.

Meanwhile, inside the workshop, Raven was sitting in the chair once again, but his arm was now restrained, strapped to the table with a variety of cords plugged into it, nullifying all movement.

"Ready?" Eve asked, concerned as she had to do this before.

"Yes. Doesn't matter anyway, this will hurt like shit."

Eve removed the plating at his shoulder where the Nasod implants connected to his muscle and nerves. She unlocked the two, broken primers inside his shoulder, and held up three fingers as she grasped one of the primers. She counted down on her hand. One, two, three. Eve then pulled the primer out of the socket, having to force it free from the nerve fuse.

"Fucking hell! God!" Raven slammed his fist on the chair, the pain excruciating, and his shoulder squirted quite a fair amount of blood, which wound up spraying on Eve's face. Unfazed, Eve inserted the new primer, which fused itself to the nerves, stopping the bleeding.

"Just one more." Eve readied herself again, blood still on her face and upper left chest. Raven nodded, and Eve removed the second primer, another pained yell from Raven, who slammed his fist against the chair again. Eve put in the new primer before it bled too much, but she still got sprayed. Raven was breathing heavily, and suddenly Chung broke into the workshop.

"Eve! What's going on in here!" Chung wavered as he saw Eve, covered in blood, standing beside Raven, "Are you two alright?"

"Messy procedure, I told you Chung." Eve reminded him. Chung looked around as Eve reattached the plating, and Raven soon left the room, his Nasod arm immobile while the primers recognized his brain waves. Chung found a towel and handed it to Eve. She shook her head.

"I'll just take a bath." Eve walked past him, and he saw her back.

"Eve! How did you get all that blood on your back?"

"What?" Eve turned to look at herself in the mirror. Sure enough, there was a large amount of blood on her bare back, "Argh! Why did I pick today to wear clothes with no fabric on the back? I can't reach back there."

"Umm...I..I could, help maybe?" Chung blushed, feeling incredibly perverted.

"Really Chung? You'd help me get cleaned up?" Eve sighed quietly. Chung, washing my naked back. Oh god I'm starting to feel hot.

"I'm sorry, I must look like such a perv right now."

"No Chung. I'm...more, than fine with it." Eve felt embarrassed as she made herself sound very lewd. "Tell you what. I'll fill the bath and call you in so you don't have to see anything you don't want to." Chung nodded, "But I'd love it if you did look." Eve muttered under her breath.

"Sorry, what was that Eve?" Chung asked, and Eve panicked for a second.

"Nothing! Wait here!" Eve left him standing confused in her room, and ran into her bathroom. She didn't start the water, but just looked at herself in the mirror,"Chung, how I want you to do such naughty things to me."

"Oh really?"

"Eeek!" Eve turned around to see Aisha standing next to her, "How'd you get in here?!"

"Eve? Is everything alright?" Eve heard Chung walking over to the door.

"Stay out Chung! Girl on girl talk in here!" Aisha said, opening the door and looking at him.

"Uh, okay?" Chung walked to the far side of the room.

"Aisha, what do you want?"

"Well, since you seem to want him so much, why don't me and Rena help again?"

"What? How can you help me with this one?"

"Well, the way I see it is that love never goes anywhere without a little outside push. Me and Rena can pass along little 'hints'. Try to convince Chung that it's not wrong to do that with someone you love." Eve went to hug her, but Aisha pulled back, "Whoa girl, unlike you I have issues about blood on my clothes. Now why don't you get all naked for your dear little Chung?" Aisha laughed as she teleported away, and Eve was left standing red faced in her bathroom.

Eve started to let the water run, filling the large bath. Many would say that the Elgang's house was overdone, but each person made their rooms and respected parts of the house as they wanted them to. Eve wanted a fair sized, black painted bathroom, with the bath in the center and facing a large mirror. As the bath filled, she cut the water, undressed, and got into the warm water. She made sure she was not facing the mirror, against her own desire, as Chung would be taken off guard by that. She put two small tubes in the water, which were fixed up to a filtration machine that she used the last time she did a primer replacement for Raven. Eve only did this because she planned to think while she bathed, and would rather bathe in clean water not stained with blood. Maybe if it was Chung's blood. Eve put a hand on her mouth, What am I thinking?!

"Chung, it's okay to come in now." Eve called for him, and head the door open. Chung slowly walked over to her, and as Eve turned to look at him over her shoulder, she saw his eyes were closed, "Chung, it's alright."

"But-"

"Chung. I want you to look at me. Please."

Chung sighed, and slowly opened his eyes. He knew he was overreacting, as Eve was facing away from him. Reluctantly, Chung picked up a wet towel, and began to was Eve's back. Her skin's so soft. Kinda hard to believe she's not human. They sat in silence. Chung focusing on not doing anything he saw perverted, and Eve was off in her own little world, imagining many a scenario ending with Chung abandoning his morals and taking her right here. Eve felt his soft hands against her back as he washed the blood away.

"Chung?"

"Yes?" Chung handed Eve the towel, as her back was now clean. Eve started to wash her chest and face.

"Can I ask you something...a bit personal?"

"Of course Eve."

"Why?" Eve looked at him over her shoulder.

"What? 'Why' what?"

"Why don't you want to move fast? I want you so badly Chung, and I want you now. Why do you keep that from me?" Eve began to cry, wiping her eyes with her hand, "I'm so sorry. I'm such a selfish jerk."

"No, you're not. It's just...I don't want to hurt you Eve. If I move forward to fast, I might hurt you. I don't want that. I never want that."

"What if...you knew it wouldn't hurt me?" Because it wouldn't. Eve stared at him, eyes begging an answer. Chung kneeled down behind her, looking into her eyes.

"If I could be one hundred percent sure that I would cause you no harm, then I would do anything for you."

"Then why do you think that doing this to me, something I want, would hurt me? I love you Chung! You could only hurt me by turning me down, and walking away." Eve twirled around and embraced him, her naked, wet form soaking his clothes. Chung was motionless for several seconds, still processing what was going on. Then, he pulled her off him, and ran to the door, blushing wildly.

"Oh god! I'm such a pervert, I'm so sorry Eve!" Chung turned his back on her, not wanting to do anything stupid again.

"Chung?" Eve silently got out of the bath, sneaking towards him.

"Yes?"

"Shut up." Eve held him again, and gently kissed his neck. Eve's lips could feel the blood rushing faster and faster. Eve looked down his chest, at a visible bulge in his shorts, "See? You want it. I want it." Eve slid a hand down his chest, "What's wrong with that?" Eve breathed into his ear, sending shivers down his spine. Chung then broke from her grip.

"Eve please stop!" Chung protested, hands against the wall.

"Oh god I'm so sorry Chung! I just...I didn't...mean..to...I'm so cruel!" Eve was so ashamed of herself, then she saw Chung shake his head.

"No, you're just acting on your feelings. I'm just not ready right now." Chung stood up straight, "Although, given such a forward demonstration, I see that even if I wanted to, it would be very difficult for me to do anything to harm you." Chung took a breath, and turned to look at her, smiling, "Not now, but sometime. I just need to prepare myself, since you already seem ready."

Eve smiled, and Chung took her hands. His eyes stayed on hers, refusing to look anyway else.

"Chung, I'm sorry I'm so...intimate about this."

"It's alright Eve, stop apologizing." Chung forced himself to hug her tightly, surprised at how comfortable he felt about this situation now, "Do you still want me to show that surprise?"

"Oh yes I do."

"Then get dressed and come to my room." With that, Chung kissed her, and left the room.

Eve hurried to get dressed, and noticed that the sun was soon to set. She put on her clothes she had wore when she had awoken from her sleeping pod when Elsword and the others found her, and darted out of her room. As she entered the hallway, she bumped into Raven.

"Oh! Hi Raven." Eve greeted him.

"Ah, Eve. I assume from your blissful expression, that you've moved a significant distance forward with Chung?"

"That obvious?"

"For those who look. Elsword would never know, and thank god for that I must say." Eve laughed, and Raven placed a hand on her shoulder, "You're absolutely sure you want this?"

"Of course!"

"Please, let me finish. Are you sure you want this when Chung may not want it fully himself? A man will act like they will do something like this for the woman they love, when in fact they're scared to do so. Make sure you know how he feels truly before you continue." Raven patted her head, and walked past, "I'm not sure what fantasies you have had, or how you think it will feel, but I can confidently tell you this."

"What?"

"Everything you think about how it will feel, is a total understatement as to what it really is like." Raven walked into his door, and Eve stood there, shocked. Everything I've thought about doing it with Chung...not enough? Eve let out a sound halfway between a sigh and a moan. I sure hope he's right, now time to see what Chung has to show me. Eve literally skipped to his door, which opened as she reach it.

"Come on in." He said, pulling her in before she had a chance. He walked her over to his bed, and she sat down, "One moment." Chung then walked over to another door and went into another room. Eve could hear Chung rummaging around and several things being moved, "Argh, where did I...Ah!" Chung walked back into the room, with a large thick envelope in his hands.

"What's in that?"

"Take a look. It's just some things I've been making, well trying to make. I'm not very good at it."

Eve took out a large quantity of drawings and paintings from the envelope. Eve carefully looked at them, noticing that they were all moments, happy moments, from the past that the Elgang had all been present for. Eve looked at Chung.

"Not very good? Chung, these are beautiful." Chung blushed slightly, and Eve saw a drawing that made her giggle, "Aww I remember that day."

"I dare say Elsword remembers it too." Chung laughed as he saw the drawing she was referring to. It was from a couple of years ago, the first time Aisha discovered her love of torturing Elsword. It was exactly how the moment was, perfectly matching the memory Eve had stored away. Elsword was flustered, and wearing a frilly pink dress, with white lace and several flower designs, and was restrained by a magical field. Rena and Raven were laughing so hard they were holding each other for support, leaning against the wall, and Chung was just sitting in the corner observing happily. Aisha was gleefully patting down the dress, which also came with stockings and long elbow gloves. The smile on her face would have given someone the creeps, if it wasn't for Elsword's expression. Finally, Eve sat on the couch, a hand over her mouth and her eyes tightly closed from laughing. Reby and Moby were upside down on the floor, also enjoying themselves. As she looked over herself in the picture, she realized something.

"Why do I look better done in these pictures Chung?" Eve flipped through the pages, realizing that each picture containing her had her drawing with painstaking detail.

"I...well...you know. I wanted to make you especially look good." The difference was subtle, as anyone else would think they all had the same quality. But Eve wasn't exactly normal so to speak.

"Even in your drawings you take care of me." Eve set the pictures on the bed, and sat on Chung's lap, facing him directly. Chung blushed as he could feel her more sensitive region against his, "Chung?"

"Yes dear?" Chung wrapped his arms around her, looking at her questioningly.

"Please tell me the truth, it won't hurt me I promise." Chung nodded, and waited for Eve to clarify, "Do you really want to have sex with me sometime soon? If you are scared to do it, I won't push you." Eve felt Chung's grip tighten.

"Eve. I swear on our love, that I am more than happy to do this for, well, to you." Eve just stared at him. Damn, she doesn't believe me. Guess I have to commence plan B. Chung gently slid his hand down her back. Eve soon squeaked, followed by a deep sigh, as Chung groped her rear. She stared at him, "Getting my point now?" Eve moaned, somewhat loudly, "What?"

"Oh I can definitely 'feel' your point. Whether I can get it is another matter." As Chung realized his building erection, Eve leaned into him, pushing them both onto the bed on top of him, "Mmm, keep going Chung. This will definitely help me wait for you to be ready." Eve sighed as Chung continued to grope her, thankful she didn't have to play her trump card. How selfish I am to say that it would hurt me if he didn't continue. Eve, holding Chung tightly, placed a hand behind his head. They began to kiss, licking at each other's tongues in a heated frenzy of passion. Eve continued to moan, resisting the urge to stick her hand down his pants, and Chung was surprised that he was doing the same. They were soon interrupted by an impatient, loud, knock on the door. Chung only had enough time to remove his hand from Eve's bottom before Elsword swung the door open. He was about to say something, but then forgot what it was as he saw what was going on. Eve's expression was that of surprise until Elsword blinked, and he cringed as it had instantly changed to utter rage. Slowly, Eve got off the bed, staring at Elsword with malicious intent. Chung looked back at him, is eyes simply telling him to run. As Eve raised a finger, pointing at him, Chung got up and stood between them, giving Elsword enough time to regain sense and run. As he sprinted through the house, Rena and Aisha watched in confusion as he ran towards the town.

"Elsword where are you going?! It's time for dinner!" Rena yelled at he ran.

"If I stay I'll die! I told you not to send me of all people to get them!"

"Why?!" Aisha yelled back.

"What do you think?!" Elsword yelled, and jumped up, narrowly dodging a long thick blade. The two girls looked up as they heard a colossal ruckus.

"Eve! Calm down!"

"I'm going to kill him!"

"Eve it's not his fault!"

Chung and Eve's argument continued, Eve screaming as Chung tried to get her to calm down. Aisha and Rena looked at each other, then turned to see Raven walking up the stairs.

"Raven do you have a death wish?" Rena walked over to him. Raven could easily hold his own, but against Eve in this situation would be risky. Raven looked back at her.

"Chung's not gonna be able to calm her down this time. Looks like it's finally time for me to force her to do this the considerate way." Raven turned to look at her directly, "If I should die, remember that night I spent with you."

"I'll remember it always." They both hugged each other, and Raven sighed as he walked up the stairs. Rena watched him go, and Aisha snuck up behind her.

"So...care to explain 'that night'?"

"Umm...I can explain!"

Raven walked to Chung's bedroom door. Eve was still screaming, and Chung seemed to be flailing for a way to stop her anger. Raven sighed, Eve. If you want to love someone in a house with your friends, you better get it through your head that people will drop in on you by accident. Raven, knowing Eve would lash out, drew his blade and readied his arm. Slowly, he eased the knob of the door so it was open, but didn't move it. He counted to three in his mind, and threw open the door and dashed towards Eve. Eve pushed Chung out of the way, and send a long, thin blade in Raven's direction. Raven parried it with his sword, and slammed his burning fist into the wall next to her head. While she was off guard, Raven dropped his blade and held both her arms.

"Get off me Raven!"

"EVE! SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN TO ME!" Eve winced at Raven's anger, staring at him. Chung moved to remove Raven's hands, but he shot a glare in his direction, "Chung, let me handle this. Go find Elsword. It's been a while since we've all had a pleasant dinner together, and I plan for today to be the night we start doing that again." Chung looked at Eve, lowered his head, and left the room. Raven turned his gaze back to Eve.

"What do you want?"

"For you to learn a simple, obvious point. If I let you go will you try to kill me again?" Eve nodded, and Raven slowly let her go, picking up his sword, "Listen Eve. You can't keep doing this."

"Wha-"

"Shut up. Every time someone accidentally walks in on you and Chung making out, you overreact. This is unacceptable!" Raven saw Eve being to tear up. I'm sorry Eve, but it's for everyone's own good. "Eve. You're living in a house with your friends. It's bound that accidents like this will happen, especially with Elsword around. I know you just want you and Chung to be alone during your moments of bliss, but you must still remember that other people live here.

"What can I do about it?"

"Oh I don't know. Lock the door perhaps?" Eve covered her face in her hands.

"Oh god, I'm such an idiot!"

"I have to agree with you there. Anyway, don't you think the best place for your little sessions would be 'your' room? After all, you have the most complex lock in the whole house, and a sound nullification field. No one could get in, and no one would hear anything." Raven put a hand on her shoulder, "I'm sorry I attacked you, but I had to force you to listen to me."

"It's alright. I deserved it."

"That's open to discussion. Now, let's get to dinner, I see Chung and Elsword walking back, and I don't feel like having to re-heat my meal." Raven walked out of the room, looking over his shoulder, "Remember what I said, alright?"

"Alright Raven, thank you."

The first thing Eve did as she came down the stairs, was walk up to Elsword.

"Elsword? I'm sorry for trying to kill you. It's won't happen again."

"It's...alright? I guess?" Elsword laughed, a silly grin on his face, "Can't be helped. Past is the past and all that. I'm hungry!"

"Good, I made an extra large serving of my special beef stew tonight." Rena said, walking to the table with a steaming pot in her hands.

"Woohoo!" Elsword and Raven instantly sat down. Raven waited for the others, but Elsword went to get a helping, only to have his hand smacked away by Rena.

"Wait for the others Elsword."

"Okay." Elsword put on a comical expression of depression, and laughed, "Come on Eve, Chung, sit down!" Eve wondered how Elsword seemed to be able to forget things at will, and always stay cheerful. Perhaps he just did his best to keep the house exciting. Eve smiled, and she sat down next to Chung and Raven. Aisha soon came down the stairs, wearing a strangely revealing dress. Everyone, especially Elsword, stared at her,

"What?"

"Nothing." Everyone said, except Elsword. Rena, smiling, changed her seat, sitting across from Raven, leaving the only chair left next to Elsword. Aisha sat down, smirking at him.

"Well, what are you looking at Elsword?" Aisha, taunting him, bent her waist to show her breasts to him.

"Nothing!" Elsword turned to look at the stew, which Rena was serving. Raven chuckled, and leaned over to whisper in Eve's ear.

"I think this is going to be an interesting supper, don't you?" Eve laughed, suppressing the urge to laugh.

"Raven, do you know?"

"About Aisha and Elsword? Sure do."

"Think she's going to finally do it?"

"I bet so, look at her, and I don't mean her clothing." Eve examined Aisha's face, specifically her eyes. They were full of doubt, and darted from Elsword, to her food, then to someone else at the table, then back to Elsword. Eve knew this look, as she had it herself many times before.

"Alright! Let's chow down!" Rena said, and Elsword began to eat so fast he might as well have face planted the stew like a pie eating contestant. Everyone laughed as he held his mouth, the food being too hot for him.

"Argh! The beef is killing me!" Elsword gurgled, and they all burst out in laughter.

"My plan is working! Muahaha." Rena laughed sinisterly, smiling. Dinner rolled past, filled with laughter from Elsword's constant antics. Eve was happy. She still felt incredibly stupid for overreacting so much, but she was happy that now she knew how to deal with it. As dinner was over, Aisha whispered something in Elsword's ear, and the two walked outside. Rena and Raven did the dishes, and Chung and Eve retired to Eve's room.

"That was a nice meal." Chung said, laying Eve on the bed and laying down beside her.

"Yeah. Nice to see everyone having a good time again." Eve rolled on top of Chung, staring into his eyes.

"You want to continue don't you?" Chung smiled as Eve simply nodded. He kissed her gently, "I love you Eve."

"I love you too Chung. Let's get some sleep." Eve pulled the covers over them, and they both drifted off to sleep. Eve could hardly wait for the day when Chung would fulfill her desire. Embracing each other, the two lovers went to their own little worlds, dreaming of each other.
