Chapter 3- Wind meets ice

"So Lavitz? Have you shown everyone to their rooms?" Asked Lavitz's mother seeing him nod.

"Okay…So now where does Aeris sleep at?" He shrugged giving a puzzled look.

Aeris looked back at Lavitz shrugging as well. She then looked about the room waiting on Lavitz's mother for an answer.

"Well…"

"What? Oh no…You don't mean…" He started seeing her nod at him. "You mean? I have to sleep in the same room as her?" He questioned with a flush of scarlet overwhelming his face.

"Well how am I supposed to get a grandbaby? A stork?" She joked looking at Aeris finding then she was unamused. "Right.."

"You're telling me you want me to take Aeris to my room…and…well…" He mumbled quickly becoming embarrassed. "Um…You know…."

"Yes?"

"You want me to….make love to her?" He shrugged. "Isn't it a little….soon? For that?"

"Why would you say that Lavitz? You've known her since you two were kids."

Lavitz sighed looking down as he shook his head unsure of what to say. He thought he should probably close his mouth and just take Aeris to his room only for sleeping and nothing more. Nothing more.

Aeris blushed uncontrollably at the situation seeing that worried look on Lavitz's face. And in a way, she kind of wanted that to happen between her and Lavitz.

"Lavitz?" She gulped trying to get his attention. "Lavitz!" She whispered loudly.

"Huh? Yeah…What do you want?" He replied looking back up at her realizing she was blushing just as badly as he.

"Come on.. Just drop it. Let's go ahead and go get some sleep. Just don't worry about it." She nodded taking a hold of his hand feeling him grip hers tightly having become so nervous he was almost shaking.

"Alright. Let's go then. See you in the morning mom." He nodded quickly disappearing from sight with Aeris.

"I wonder if my boy is ever going to settle down with a lovely woman like her and have any kids?" Sighed his mother shaking her head at the thought that somehow he would end up dead somewhere on a battlefield leaving no children.
