Hei sighed against her mouth as Yin slid her pianist fingers around the back of his neck and through his hair. Warmth grew in his chest, on his cheeks… he kissed her harder. His hand coiled around frame as he squeezed her, pulling her to him. He opened his mouth slightly as the sensations coursing through him caused the hair on his arms and on the back of his neck to prickle. Yin moaned softly as-

Bam! The door flung open with a sudden bang. The pair jumped as they swiftly ripped apart. Hei panted harshly, his face flushed, while Yin held a hand over her oddly racing heart. They both stared at the doorway, a slight panic overcoming them.

"Oh, am I interrupting something?" Claude laughed. Hei didn't find his little quip all that funny. He studied the purple streaks in the boy's blonde hair and the mischief in his eyes.

"I just thought I'd check up on you and your… doll." Claude continued, his voice lingering on the word 'doll' as he eyed Yin dangerously. Hei quickly grew irritated by his presence. "We are a community after all!"

"We're busy." Hei spoke through gritted teeth. Yin reached out and grasped his arm, but Hei felt too exposed by Claude's presence to respond.

"Hey now! Let's all just relax, okay? We're playing people now remember?" Claude teased, much to Hei's dismay. Had he caught them? Color returned to Hei's cheeks at the thought. Claude only smirked deeper; It was as if the very possibility for him to change were being mocked by someone who was practically a stranger. Yin's gentle touch pulled away from him as she clutched own her hands together. For a second he thought he saw a faint dusting of pink across her cheeks and he almost believed that she was embarrassed herself. -But he thought better of it. It was impossible.

"Let's go, Yin." Hei pushed past the smug contractor, grabbing Yin by the wrist as he trudged forward.

Hei sighed in frustration as he mentally cursed himself for reacting so rashly earlier. If he'd felt exposed by Claude's presence before then he was definitely without any sense of privacy now. Together, the pair sat outside where most of the other contractors roamed. Though Hei had succeeded in getting away, what he really wanted, was to be alone with Yin. He needed to get back to exploring her, whatever that now meant...

But the action felt wrong somehow, deplorable. How would he know just how okay she was with this? How could he be sure he wasn't merely projecting his feelings onto her? What were his feelings? Earlier, the answer seemed to rest within her kiss but being caught by someone else made him unsure of himself. He couldn't stand the thought of being disoriented with no way to explain himself again.

Feeling a hand rest upon his thigh, Hei turned to Yin in surprise. She ran her thumb over his leg and Hei was taken aback by her caress. Could it be that she still wanted this after all? Maybe if they could be alone together...

Grabbing her hand, Hei laced his fingers between hers and stood, leading her a few feet into the wilderness behind them.

"Hei?" Yin questioned.

"It's okay, we're just..." Hei trailed off, not having any true reason behind his actions. He only muttered on without thinking as his mouth approached her neck. "...talking,"

His lips were already pressed firmly against her neck as he continued to convince himself of innocence. Yin cooed softly and Hei smiled slightly in relief. He softly pushed her against the tree as he devoured her neck further. His arms coiled around her and he made a tender fist in her hair. He was surprised to find her pressing herself into him. His hand lowered down past the curve of her waist, he jolted a little as he felt the skin that had been left exposed by her tank top. His thumb fingered with the space between her clothes as he sighed against her neck.

"Hei?" She questioned. With both arms around his neck, Yin quickly entangled her fingers in his hair and began to pull softly. Hei was stunned. Did she actually want to kiss him?

He faced her, his lips hovering just above hers. He gazed down at her lips longingly and bit his own. "Yin, I..." He tried to come closer but it was as if they were two magnets that didn't attract. Connected, but being repelled by some unnatural force.

Yin didn't care however, as her mind still blazed from earlier. She wanted to feel his touch, to relive whatever he had done to her before. Her heart thrummed in her chest and it was almost a if she could remember what it was like to be alive; What she had been once long ago.

Hei stood stiff as Yin kissed him, his surprise coming up as a soft rumble in his throat. He pushed against her, his need growing.

Yin accepted him hungrily as his wet kiss devoured her lips and eventually trailed down her throat. Warmth filled her chest and kissed her cheeks -though that might've been another touch of Hei's lips, but none the less, she felt different beside him. For a moment longer, she could be strong once again.

Hei couldn't remember the last time he'd felt this light. It was like Yin drew something out of him, filtering out whatever made him so hard, cold. Within minutes of breathing in her essence he soon realized that it had been far too long since the last time he'd been intimate with another. He briefly wondered what about her had drawn him in. Was it the thought of facing the infinite with someone else? Someone who saw value in him and thought he was priority? Or maybe it was the fact that she was so committed to him, taking care of him in ways he's long since forgotten how. After all, it'd been so long since anyone put themselves on the line for him. It was almost hard to imagine that Yin would concern herself with him when at times, she could hardly think of her own well being.

Hei pushed deeper, his lips swallowing hers as he gave in to his silent urge to devour the girl. He pressed the length of his body against Yin's, his hand gripping her thigh as she curled her leg against his side.

He gave a long guttural moan as she softly bit his lip. A gesture that not only made him question where on earth she'd learned it from, but how he'd managed to go his entire life without tasting her lips up until now.

"Ahem," Hei's eyes popped open, though his lips remained firmly attached to Yin's as a fake cough sounded behind them.

He pulled away, hurrying to straighten himself. Hei briefly assessed the glassy eyed brunette before him. Though her cough had a harsh air of both frustration and embarrassment she still spoke in the same plain tones of an average contractor.

"We are growing very sensitive agriculture here so I'd like to ask that our guests not... explore this area." She swiftly explained.

"R-Right, sorry." Hei apologized, grabbing Yin's hand swiftly leading her away.

Was there no privacy on this godforsaken camp?
