WARNING. :) a bit of smut. its on the ingredients list.

Soft hands moving over her shoulders, one hand moving up her neck to be buried in her hair, thumb stroking her cheek at the other moved lower, sliding over her skin and leaving tingles in its wake as it slipped under her back to pull her closer to a hard chest.

Lips like wet silk trailed up her neck and beore going down to the sensitive skin on her shoulder, her mind was ablaze with sensations, pure emotion pouring threw her. The body holding her was rock hard with muscle, firm and strong under her exploring hands as they moved, mapping every inch, every dip. Her eyes were blindfolded, she couldn't see who it was that was setting her soul on fire, but she would memories his touch, his breath on her skin.

The lips moved up her neck to her own lips, goose pimples going down her back at the feeling before the lips disappeared, only to be felt once more but lower down, kissing her collar bone before descending between her breasts, moving closer to one. Kissing a trail over the soft flesh of her breast, his breath tickling the damp trail left there, a hand coming to cup it lovingly. Her breath hitched as she felt fingers slip over her heated skin, they touched her nipple before the lips did and-

AWAKE!

Kai lay in bed, the light covers twisted around her form, sweat soaking her night shirt and something else soaking her panties as she realised her eyes were open and she was staring up at the ceiling of her room at the Black Order.

Shower. Now.

Her mind supplied the suggestion while the rest of her groggily tried to figure out which way round was up and how to move her body in a way that didn't send tingles running threw her over sensitive skin. Sitting up carefully, she felt the damp, cooling mess in her panties and shuddered, "eww" she hissed, not many people really talked about the fact that girls had wet dreams too, while they would happily joke over boys having to under go such embracement.

The effect a girls wet dreams had, didn't leave them waking up with the sheets stuck to them, just a soggy mess in there panties that made them feel weird, and an over sensitivity to anything that touched there bare skin. Shuddering again she looked over at her bedside clock, nine in the morning. 'Good a time as any to get up,' she thought muzzily as she shuffled to the edge of the bed and began to gather a few things together for a shower.

With Corbec flying along besides her, carrying the bag full of essentials as she carried her towel and wrapped in her bathrobe, her mind kept running back to the dream, the details of which still sent shivers up and down her spine.

Silently walking into the warm bathing room, she still shivered at the cold damp tiles on her bare feet after the cold dry stones of the hall. Giving only a cursory flick of her head to see if others were around, she nodded at the empty room and walked into a cubicle and shutting the door as Corbec dropped her things onto the small dry bench inside before flitting to the two taps in the wall. Hearing another shower on in the room, she ignored it -people left showers running all the time- and took off her robe, trying to ignore the way it tickled her skin before she hung it on the back of the door, moving towards the tiled wall and the shower head.

The spray was already running nice and warm as she stepped under it, one hand palm out for the small black dragon to start enjoying the shower too, his little paws running over his figure in the exactly the same pattern as his mistress, with the only exception being his wings. Putting him down on the floor she stopped dead, half bent over as she heard a grunt from the stall next to her.

The grunt was followed by a almost imperceptible low moan, and she couldn't resist moving closer, now able to hear the quiet but heavy breathing coming from whoever was next to her. Standing perfectly still she tried to hear more, feeling her blood starting to rise and pound in her ears as she listened to the faint, but increasingly more often, grunts and moans.

"Oh gods!" Purred a voice in the quiet of the room and Kai felt everything inside her freeze but explode at the same time. Her heart skipped a beat, her mind froze but a heat grew in her stomach that slowly seemed to drip lower, inch by inch as she listened to the person on the other side. She knew perfectly well who it was now! It didn't help her situation of 'trying to calm down and clean up'.

'Okay, three options' said a treacherous part of her mind, near the back of her head, 'you can either stay here and listen, enjoying yourself to the extreme.' She blushed faintly at that idea, straightening up and looking at nothing as she wrapped her arms around herself under the spray. 'Option number two is to go over to his stall and do something about this, stop him, join in, either will do, he'll turn bright red with embarrassment if he finds you here.' Nodding in agreement to her thoughts but turning an even deeper shade of red at the thought -not just the image- of Lavi naked, let alone touching himself.

'Option number three is that you just ignore him and carry on as you are, trying to finish your shower quickly and as quietly as possible.' Kai felt another part of her rebel at that idea. It was a part of her fuelled entirely by the hormones pounding threw her system right then, it didn't want to just stand under the hot spray and do nothing, not with the pulsing feeling between her legs making itself known as Lavi let out another low moan.

'Why not get a look at him?' Purred this new part of her, 'see how that makes you feel? Not as good as being with him, but…' She screamed at herself for acting and thinking like this, she made an effort to start showering by pulling the tie out of her braid, pulling the long mass free from its braid and smiling at the feel of it stretching down her back to touch the back of her legs. 'I want to put some distance between us, playing peeping-tom is not the way to go about this,' she argued with her mind, but feeling her body shudder as her own hands brushed her hip with the soap and Lavi grunted again.

'Oh come on girl,' purred that other part of her, 'he's got to be nearly done! You could have one look! I bet he'd get off on it even more if he thought you were watching him.'

'When did I become so filthy?'

'You were never innocent to begin with.'

'Quiet!'

Silencing her own arguing she looked at the wall between the two stalls and the bench that was on that side. It was only small, but strong enough for her to stand on with one foot she realised as she tested it, almost everything in this Order is brand new since the move. Curling her fingers over the top she pulled herself up gently and slowly before she looked down to see a sight that nearly made her fall off of the bench.

Lavi, standing with his back on the cold tiles, one hand pressed against one of the walls at his side to help keep him up, the other wrapped tight around his member moving slowly as the spray of the shower fell on his abdomen and hand, running down his shaking legs. His eye patch was off, eyes closed with his hair plastered to his skin, the red of his cheeks blending nicely with his hair.

Kai felt one hand let go of the top of the stall and touch the wet skin of her chest, at the base of her throat before it slowly began to trail down, slipping between her breasts and further down. She gulped as she felt her hand move past her bellybutton and pause at the small mass of hair between her legs, her eyes were glued to the figure before her.

But before her hand could move anymore the sound of a door being kicked open made them both jump! She was down on the floor of the shower with a thud that matched the sound of Lavi' as his legs gave way in shock. Sitting there, the cold tiles under her bottom cooling the fires within her to a simmer, her heart racing with the thought at being catch watching Lavi, she heard the loud voices of Allen and Link as they came into the shower room.

"-that report?"

"Yes..."

"Finally!" Pause before Allen spoke up again. "Do you think Leverrier is going to make you stop following me soon?"

"I don't know, its not my place to ask."

"I hope that he…."

Quiet descended as the two voices drifted away enough to become hard to decipher and Kai got up, reaching a shaky hand for her shampoo once more and finally getting to the task of showering but she didn't miss the small whimper that came from the shower next to her.

---

When it finally came leaving the shower, she and Lavi managed to leave there cubicles at the same time, stepping out and instantly freezing as they stared at each other, both there faces going red. It didn't help that Lavi had never really seen her with her hair down, not since he had started to take an interest in her. Kai blushed and tucked a strand of fringe behind an ear, one hand holding a hairbrush as she bit her lip, trying to think of something to say that would no way let him know what she knew.

"D-do you want to help me?" She asked at last, holding up the brush. Jumping at the chance to get rid of the awkward silence between then, Lavi agreed before he realised and they began to chat at last as he followed her to her room.

Sitting on the bed a little nervous, she turned away from him and flicked all her hair so that it was hanging straight down her back, off the side of the bed and trailing just above the floor.

"I normally get someone to help me with it," she said shyly as Lavi looked at the fine, damp mass and down at the seemingly small brush in his hand. "Lenalee does it, or failing that, Corbec." She continued, turning her attention to the far wall, "just start at the bottom and work your way up slowly, or your get the brush stuck."

Lavi blushed faintly and muttered an acknowledgement, kneeling behind her and starting near the ground, his mind filled to the brink with the fantasies that had involved him burying his face in her hair, or running his fingers threw it. He refused to let his mind wander towards the fantasies that involved beds.

It took him a good forty minuets altogether, as he gently brushed it all out, and Kai felt herself relaxing into an almost trance as he pulled the brush down time and again, his other hand coming up to separate or hold or stroke or smooth, always moving but always touching her somewhere. When at last he was finished, she turned slowly, her mind buzzing faintly as she looked at him, he was still kneeling on the floor, level with her.

Without thinking, she reached out and gently slipped her hands onto his shoulders, pulling him forward as she leaned down and gently, ever so gently kissed his cheek. She pulled back only a little, not enough to look him in the eye, but she could feel him holding his breath as she stayed there, she could see his hands hovering just by her, wanting to touch her but worried he would scare her off.

Smiling faintly she moved and softly brushed his lips with her own, feeling at last his hands come to rest on the bed besides her. Pausing again for only a moment, she was going to continue when a faint cough from the door made them both tense up. They recognised that cough.

"When your quiet finished, I would like to see you both in the library" said Bookman before they heard his footsteps move away.

Still frozen in place, they stared into each others eyes, both saying nothing as Kai slowly slipped her hands off of his shoulders but he caught one hand in his before she could pull back entirely. He brought her curled hand up to his lips and kissed the back of her fingers as softly as she had kissed him just then, and he smiled at her softly, his eye staring at her seductively.

"One step at a time," he whispered before getting up.
