Ok people, this is the following day from the last chapter. Sorry for not updating sooner but I was in Prague, so I hadn't had a computer around. I'm sure you will forgive me for it, especially because this travel helped to inspire a new story... I hope you will enjoy this!
"Conversation/speak out loud"
'Conversation between master/mistress and his/her titan'
Next day
Dante was lying on his back, when he heard someone coming into his room. It was dark, so he couldn't see who it is. He wanted to ask who is it, but he stood silent. He saw nothing else but a pair of chocolate eyes. It wasn't hard to remember whose eyes are they.
"What are you doing here?" he whispered.
Now he could see the form of the person, it was a girl. She said nothing. She just smiled and crawled into the bed. Dante didn't know what to do. The girl crawled on top of him into a sitting position and leaned down to kiss him, but stopped five centimeters from his lips. Dante looked at her closely. She had silky raven hear, nice caramel skin, chocolate eyes and red lips.
"Zhalia" he whispered her name softly.
She smiled again and looked into his eyes. Dante wanted to push her away, but she caught his wrists and pushed them down beside his head on the pillow. Before he could do anything she kissed him and pushed her tongue into his mouth. At first Dante was surprised but he quickly reacted and kissed her back. After a few minutes Zhalia broke the kiss. Dante was gasping for air while Zhalia was just smiling at him. Without any warning she leaned down again. This time she didn't kissed him. She bit his neck; not too hard or rough, but enough to leave a bruise.
"Ah, Zhalia! What are you doing?" he asked, confused with her reaction.
"Wanna play with me?" she asked and let his wrists go.
Dante used that and flipped them over. He was on top now, so Zhalia was right under him. Her legs were spread and Dante was lying between them. She looked at him with a seductive smile and wrapped her legs around his hips.
"Come on, I know you want me" she whispered and arched her hips a little bit.
Dante wanted to push her away from himself, to push her back on the bed so he caught her hips. The same moment he touched her he felt her naked and hot skin under his palms. He blushed immediately.
"Why are you blushing?" Zhalia asked and caressed his red cheek.
"Because you are naked" he answered honestly.
"So? Dante, you're naked too" she said and put her hands on his back.
He realized that she's right; he was naked just like she was. He felt how he's getting excited, how all of his blood flows into one part of his body. Like she knew it, Zhalia slid her hand there and gently rubbed him.
"Zhalia" Dante growled into her ear.
She smiled and went on. Suddenly Dante grabbed her both hands and pushed them beside her head just like she did to him before.
"I like this" she purred into his ear. She arched up her hips again to make it easier for him.
"That's my girl" he said and bit her neck.
"Dante" she moaned into his ear.
'Dante' he heard a familiar male voice call his name.
'Master Dante, wake up' Dante looked at the beautiful girl underneath him. In a second everything disappeared and he felt that he's falling. In one moment he twitched and sat up. He looked around. He was in his room, in his bed. He was sweating and breathing hard.
'Master, are you alright?' Soulwing asked.
'Yes, I'm alright. I just… dreamt something' Dante mentally answered and lay back into the bed.
'What's going on? Why did you come out? Did something happen?' he asked.
'Nothing happened, I just realized that you're still sleeping. I thought something happened to you or that you're sick' Soulwing explained. Dante smiled a bit.
'I was just tired, that's all. Thank you' Soulwing nodded and went back into his amulet. Dante tried to stand up, but he quickly lay back as he felt a slight pain.
"Wow. This hasn't happened for a really long time. The last time I was a teenager, around 17" he wondered.
"Zhalia, you're making me crazy" he sighed.
When he calmed down he went to the bathroom and took a shower. When he dressed up he went towards Zhalias room. It was 9 a.m. so he was sure that Amy and Lok are in school, but he wasn't sure if Zhalia's awake already. Dante wanted to go into the room but that he remembered that she might be sleeping only in her underwear. He blushed at that thought. He slowly opened the door.
"Zhalia? Are you awake?" he asked still standing behind the door.
"Yes, I'm awake. Come in" she answered.
Dante stepped in and saw Zhalia lying on the bed with Gareon lying across her stomach. Zhalia smiled at Dante, but Gareon growled at him.
"Gareon, behave" she reminded him. She started to pet him, so he calmed down. Dante carefully stopped beside Zhalias bed.
"Sit down, you shouldn't stand around" she told him with a smile.
"Thank you" he answered with a small smile.
"Did you have a good sleep? How do you feel?" Dante sat down and started to play with her hair.
"Yes I did. I'm feeling great. After a really long time I actually had a good sleep. Gareon woke me up an hour ago" Zhalia answered with a smile while still petting Gareon.
"Um, Dante…" she said confused and blushing after some time.
"Yes?" he asked, not paying attention to what he's doing with her.
"What are you doing with my hair?" she asked at last. Dante looked in her eyes, let her hair go and blushed.
'Should I bite him?' Gareon looked on Zhalia from her lap and asked.
'No. Of course not. Why would you bite him?' she answered mentally.
'Because he's touching you. You hate when someone does that' Gareon answered and growled at Dante.
"Be nice Gareon" Zhalia said loud.
"He's angry with me for something" Dante said while watching him.
'Of course I am. Leave my mistress alone!' Gareon mentally yelled at Dante.
"He's not. Why would he be? You haven't done anything bad to him" Zhalia was assuring Dante.
'Yeah, of course. It's ok until you touch Zhalia. Than you will get yours' Zhalia heard both Dante and Gareon.
She was trying to keep Gareon calm and was assuring Dante that Gareon isn't angry at him.
Honestly, Gareon was a really jealous titan. He hated when someone touched Zhalia.
"I don't know Zhalia. He's growling at me and having a really angry look in his eyes. I'm sure he will attack me" Dante said still looking at the small lizard-like titan.
"No, he won't. He's a really nice titan. Pet him and you will see" Zhalia offered him. She sat up and put the titan in her lap.
"Ok. I just hope he's not poisonous" Dante swallowed hard.
'You will see how poisonous I am' Gareon said to himself.
'Gareon, don't you dare to attack him' Zhalia warned him.
Dante stocked Gareons side. He was waiting for an attack, but nothing happened.
"You see? I've told you" Zhalia said with a smile.
"Yeah, you did" Dante smiled back.
He put his hand with which he stoked Gareon beside his head, high on Zhalias leg. Gareon saw that and felt Zhalias feelings towards Dante. She was confused by his action, happy and excited because he put his hand on her leg, sad because she thought that Dante sees her only as a one night stand and that he maybe doesn't loves her as she loves him.
Gareon looked up on his mistress and saw her blushing and felt her starting to feel uncomfortable with his hand on her leg.
'Ok, that's enough!' he said to himself. He growled at Dante and bit his right hand that was on Zhalias leg.
"Au!" Dante yelled with pain in his voice and pulled his hand back.
"Gareon!" Zhalia yelled. Gareon looked at her and lay back on her leg.
"Why did you do that?" Zhalia asked angry.
'Because he deserved it. He was mean to you'
"No he wasn't! He just…" Zhalia stopped and sighed.
'I'll go to my amulet now' Gareon told her and disappeared.
"I'm so sorry Dante! I've told him no to attack you, but he thought that you're mean to me. I'm really sorry!" she jumped up from the bed and started to apologize.
"It's alright. I understand him. He was just protecting you" Dante answered while trying to stop the bleeding.
"I've told him not to attack you" Zhalia repeated.
She was upset. She knew that Gareon can feel her emotions, and she knew exactly why he attacked Dante.
When Dante put his hand on her leg she blushed and felt uncomfortable because no one ever put his hand on her leg like Dante did. Sure, while she was in the Organization there were guys who touched her where she would never let them do it. When they did so she would simply push them away and run away into her room and lock the door. When she older she used a more painful tactic on them, she would kick or punch them.
The only reason she didn't punched or kicked Dante is because she loved him, because he did it really gently and because this was the very first time she actually liked it.
"Yes, you're right. You told him not to attack me. He didn't attack me, he bit me. That's not the same" Dante smiled bitterly.
Zhalia went downstairs to the kitchen, took a bandage and run back to Dante.
"What do you need that for? It's no big deal. It's just a small bite" he laughed when he saw Zhalias worried face.
"That's what you think. Come with me" Zhalia said and took Dante by his left hand and led him to the bathroom.
She turned the cold water on and put Dantes hand under it.
"That hurts" he complained a bit as Zhalia washed out the wound. Now they could see it. It wasn't big, but it was still bleeding badly.
"Is he poisonous?" Dante asked a bit worried.
"No, he's not. He's just having really sharp teeth and a nasty bite" Zhalia explained.
She wrapped his hand into a towel and held it strong to stop the bleeding. She was holding his hand right at her heart and was looking at him with regret.
"Have I told you that I'm really sorry?" she asked after some time, still holding the towel on Dantes hand.
"No, just a few times. I don't know how many times it was, I lost you around the 114th time" Dante smiled. Zhalia laughed softly at his joke.
"You always make me laugh. Even in the worst moments" she looked at him with thankful eyes.
"That's my job" he answered with a grin.
"No, it's not, and you know it" she got serious.
"Ok. In that case, can I take it as a hobby?" he asked, serious like Zhalia. She just smiled a bit.
"I will take this as a 'yes' from you" he stroked her cheek with his left palm.
"Does it still hurt?" Zhalia asked after she unwrapped the towel.
"Just a bit. It's alright" Dante was assuring her.
"I don't believe you. Come with me, I'll put a bandage on it" she led him back into the bedroom.
Dante sat down on the bed beside Zhalia, while she put the bandage on his hand.
"That's it. You shouldn't use your hand for a week. It will heal up soon" Zhalia told him when she was done.
"A week? Isn't that too long? I mean, he's such a small titan. And the bite is small, too. It shouldn't take longer than a day or two" Dante wondered about her words.
"True, but just do as I say and it will heal up sooner than you think" she answered with a victorious smile.
She knew Dante will listen to her, he always did. Zhalia stood up and called Gareon out. He appeared on her shoulder and growled at Dante a bit.
"It's enough Gareon. You see what have you done? You bit him" Zhalia looked at Gareon.
'I know. I wanted to do it' he answered calmly.
"And why did you wanted to bite him?"
'Because he deserved it. You should have hit him'
Zhalia sighed.
"Listen, I've told you it is ok. It's my fault. I should have known better. He was just protecting you from me. I'm not angry. Honestly, I'm relieved to know that he will defend you from everyone" Dante told her and stood up beside her.
'I like this guy. Except when he wants to touch you' Gareon commented.
"It's really hard to keep up with you guys" Zhalia sighed.
Gareon went back into his amulet after he felt that Zhalia's not angry at him anymore.
Dante stepped closer to Zhalia and turned completely to her. He looked into her eyes and was surprised when he saw that she's doing the same thing as he is. He put his palm on her cheek and caressed it, while she put her hands on his chest. They were staring into each others eyes for some time before Dante started to lean in. He did it slowly and carefully, looking at Zhalia for a sign. She only closed her eyes. She didn't know what is she doing or why is she doing it, but it felt somehow nice. Their lips almost met, when they heard Amy from the living room.
"Dante, Zhalia! Are you guys here?" she was yelling probably from the stairs.
Zhalia moved away from Dante and blushed. She just realized how close she was to kiss him. Dante moved away too, and looked away. He looked away so Zhalia wouldn't see the disappointment in his eyes. He wanted to kiss her so much, but every time he was close to kiss her, someone interrupted them.
"We should…" Dante said and pointed towards the door.
"Yeah, we should" Zhalia nodded and hurried out, leaving him alone in the room.
"Will I ever kiss you Zhalia?" he sighed with sadness.
He shook his head and went after the only girl he truly loved. He got into the living room and got surprised by the view of Amy, Lok and Sophie standing there.
"What are you doing here?" he asked them confused.
"Standing" Amy rolled her eyes. Sophie sighed.
"He wants to know why are we here" she said angry.
"I know. I'm just mocking him" Amy said with an evil smile.
"So, what are you doing here and why?" Zhalia repeated Dantes question.
"We're here because the headmaster canceled the school for today" Amy answered immediately.
"Why do you answer her normally when she asks you, but you answer me rude when I ask you?" Dante asked confused.
"Because she's the one kicking my ass in the gym, not you" Amy answered with a small smile.
"Why did the headmaster canceled the school? What happened?" Zhalia was curious.
"A fire started in our classroom while we were still in" Lok answered.
"What? Is everyone alright?" Dante asked worried.
"Yes, the teacher reacted quickly and led us all out and called the firefighters. They couldn't tell why did it started, so the headmaster didn't want to risk and sent the whole school home" Lok explained.
"I think I know WHO started the fire and HOW" Sophie looked at Amy.
"Don't start it again girlie. Lok won't save your little ass this time" Amy stepped closer to her, threatening.
"Ok, that's enough" Dante said and stood between Amy and Sophie.
"You can't blame Amy for everything" he stood in Amys protection, but he quickly remembered something.
"Amy?" he looked at her like asking her if Sophie's right.
"Well… maybe… um… you know…" she muttered and made an innocent face.
"You did not!" Zhalia said in disbelief.
"It wasn't on purpose! I was talking with Lok about spells, I accidentally made a move with my hand and said Boltflare" Amy explained.
As she said Boltflare, an orange orb appeared in her palm.
"You see? It happened again!" she showed Dante the orb in her palm.
"Congratulations!" Zhalia said with a smile.
"Thank you" she answered happy that she made it.
"Why are you still holding it in your palm?" Dante asked her after some time.
"I don't know how to make it go away"
They all started to laugh.
"What? It's not funny!" she said, a bit angry.
"Zhalia, you should go and teach her how to control her spells" Dante offered her.
Zhalia nodded.
"Come on, let's do a bit more training" she said and led Amy away.
So, that's it for now! I already wrote the whole story, I just have to update them all (and type them down first) and you can read it to the end. I already started the new story with a new character in it (she is just for this story here, maybe she will appear again in some other stories).
And of course, the questions! : What do you think, did Gareon did his job well by bitting Dante, or not? Will Dante kiss Zhalia in this story at all, or will you guys wait for the next story to see it? -Don't kill me for this question
So, this is it. Hope you enjoy it. R&R :*
