When Avery woke up she was naked and wrapped in a blanket. Sitting up she saw that her clothes were nowhere in sight and if she remembered correctly they were still in the training room or, did they get undressed there or here? Her eyes scanned the room but she didn't see anything. Standing up she dragged the sheet with her and wrapped it around her in a toga style.
Silently on her sock clad feet she made her way to the door and winced when the soft click of the lock could be heard. But she looked towards the bathroom where she could hear a shower going and held her breath.
A moment of nothing and she released her breath. She turned back to the door and again winced at the sound of the handle she got it open about three maybe four inches before it slammed shut. A sopping wet hand with coiled muscles held the door shut inches above her head. "Oh, hi." She whispered and then turned. Snake Eyes stood behind her dripping with a towel loosely tied around his waist. "Um I was just-" He leaned down and his lips were inches from hers. If he knew what he was doing to her he didn't let on. Her heart was beating erratically.
His lips formed silent words and she read his words. 'You were doing what?' She stuttered unable to make words form and a smirk crossed his lips. He stood up and backed up walking backwards he crooked his finger at her, beckoning her to follow him into the bathroom.
Who was she to deny his call?
She followed him as if in a trance and made her way to the bathroom with him. Her pulled the shower curtain back and got in. She quickly lost her socks and followed him almost in a trance. As soon as she stepped into the warm water she was pushed against a wall. His lips assaulted her and she was lifted up so her legs could wrap around his waist again. His hands held her tightly and his lips worked their way from hers to her neck to teasing her breasts.
He licked and nipped until he felt her heat become wet. Then his lips went back to hers and he entered her. Unlike the day before he was planning to take this much slower. He paced himself and her head fell back and her cheeks flushed. One of his hands moved to hold her hair while the other went to search out her breasts. It didn't take long for the newly plucked girl to climax. Twice.
Though she seemed to become wearied out he started to bring her up once more and this time he joined her in bliss. Then set her down on her own feet. He still hovered above her but he was out of her. He wanted to watch her for a moment, to make sure she didn't collapse or something.
When he was sure that she was alright he turned the cooling water off and gave her a towel to dry with while using his one from before to dry himself. "Um..." She started, unsure of how to proceed. "Hi." She finally said pathetically and looked down at the ground towards her feet. Snake Eyes lifted her chin up and kissed her softly upon her lips. He pulled back and mouthed a hello back. "A- about last night an- and just now..." She didn't know what to say or how to proceed. He took her hand and led her back into his room.
He sat on the bed and grabbed a note book where he wrote down what he wanted to say. "What I mean is, um I've never done this before and- I – what- um- you know what, never mind. It's stupid. Don't worry about it." Snake Eyes caught he wrist as she turned to walk away from him and he pulled her down onto the bed and laid with her, holding her. Trying to convey without words what his thoughts were. But it didn't work for Avery pulled away. "I'm sorry, I have to go." This time with a towel and not his sheet she ran towards the door and left. He only made it to the door but couldn't leave, he was naked and his mask wasn't on.
He laid his head against the door and listened to her retreating steps. Once he could no longer hear them he left the door to get dressed. He was going to find her and make this right. He thought that she would know that he would want something more than a one night stand. Upon exiting his room he realized that he didn't know where her room was.
After searching for a while he gave up and went to General Hawk. "Avery?" Hawk questioned when Snake Eyes found him. "She's probably in her room. It's in the East hall, number fourteen." Snake Eyes thanked him then went to look for the man's daughter. "Wait, she's probably asleep and you'll need to wake her, here's her code..." After memorizing it Hawk had one more thing to ask of him. "What do plan to do, now that you've slept with her." Snake Eyes stiffened. "She's an adult and can make her own choices, but I want to know what you're planning Snake Eyes."
Snake Eyes said nothing then Hawk dismissed him. As he made his way to her room he thought about what he was going to do. Perhaps it would be best if they pretended like nothing happened and start again. Properly. No, there was no way he could ever forget or pretend like it hadn't happened because in truth it had and there was no way he would forget it. He didn't want to. And before he really had a plan he stood in front of her room. Typing in the code he waited for the beep that let him know it had been correct and let him in.
It beeped and he entered. Avery sat on her bed, dressed, and hugging a pillow. "Snake Eyes..." She said and stood, quickly tossing the pillow aside. "About-" He strode across the room and kissed her. If there was one thing he didn't want it was to hear that what had happened had been a mistake. It wasn't, at least not to him. He tugged her hand and led her out of the room. As they walked she took her hand from his and let it hang at her side. He paused then took it back and intertwined their fingers. "You mean- ?" She questioned and he nodded. He and her would date. That's what was going to happen.
Rip and Scarlet were a thing, Duke and Anna, so why couldn't he be with Avery? He squeezed her hand and she smiled at him. "Merry Christmas." She whispered and he kissed her on the head, though it was through his mask.
