Even if it had been a bet, she didn't have to take this so seriously. The redhead fixed his tie for him with a smirk. She was good at this sort of thing, and he wondered why. Surely there wasn't a man in her life. She was far too wild and, oftentimes much too serious for any serious relationship. The Blazing Heart was also quite jovial when she wanted to be. A jokester that, in his mind, could never really be serious even if she tried.
But yet...she was.
She had many hidden talents, it seemed. Minus the tie, she had also ironed his clothes, fixed him breakfast and woke him up as son as the alarm went off, forcing him out of bed and into the shower. "A good day starts when you're ready to face it!" She'd said. She had even placed a chocolate bar in his jacket pocket. She was like the perfect wife, and he'd sorely misjudged her.
"You're good at this sort of thing." Add remarked as she finished, adjusting his vest for him. Elesis simply smiled wordlessly, stepping back to examin him. He felt strange under her scrutinizing gaze. Like she had planned all of this in her mind beforehand. But then again, taking into account that she herself had never been one to look anything less than her best, it was easy to see why she was so meticulous.
"Now, have a seat. It's time to brush your hair." Elesis demanded lightly, turning Add about and pushing him over to the closest chair. He frowned, rolling his eyes. He didn't see the point in it. His hair was fine. He'd thought about voicing that thought out loud, but something told him to keep quiet and let her do it, so he did. Instead he worked. While she combed and fought with his hair, earling pained growls from him in the proocess, he called up a virtual display, tapping away at the keyboard that appeared in front of him. "It's not my fault you don't take care of your hair. It's so long, and nice looking too!"
"Whatever." Add hissed, frowning at the laugh that his pain had apparently elicted from the girl, glaring up at her. Elesis merely smirked, tilting his head back to his work while she continued fighting with the tangles.
"You know, long hair looks great on you." She said suddenly, putting the comb down and running her hands through his hair. Add blushed again, but chuckled. He hadn't expected that. But the girl could be unpredictable at times. And it did feel nice when she did that. He decided against making a snarky remark, with the fear that she would stop and go back to pulling on his head again. "But you're always holed up in here by yourself. You should come spend time with us."
"I'll pass." Add remarked, glancing up at Elesis as she gently massaged his head. She smiled softly, though. He'd half expected her to frown and insist on it, but she didn't. The usually loud, obnoxious girl was quiet for once and he wondered why. It was unlike her. But he did feel as though he had to venture a guess and say she wanted him around. And he had to admit, if doing things like this for him would be the result of having her around, it wouldn't be all bad. "Hey."
"Yes?" Elesis asked, confusion set on her face now. But Add hesitated. He took in her features for a bit. She certainly wasn't ugly, and plain would definitely not be the word to describe her either. She was beautiful, her eyes bruning with a flame that would consume anything, even his reservations about having someone around him. Her own long hair looked enticing. He wondered what it would be like to run his own hands through it. Her lips, that could never be seen frowning, twitched upward in a slight grin. And then there was her figure. She was fit as any warrior must be, long legs, decent sized breasts he supposed. Elesis was quite simply-
"Beautiful." He spoke aloud without realizing it. But he did notice the heavy blush that covered her face now. He smiled. So, even she could be embarrassed. Though he had to wonder why. I guess he would never know. "I'll take you up on your offer. To be around , on one condition."
"And what's that?" Elesis asked hesitantly.
Add woke, glancing next to him in bed. A tender smile crossed his face, seeing the sleeping face of the redhaired girl. It wasn't really a dream, but a memory. The day they had started dating, all because of a bet that they had made the day before.
The bet? Well, it didn't matter anymore.
