<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:FFFF99'>A slight blush came to her cheeks again and she smiled softly. She yanked her finger away and stuck her tongue out.</span> <span style='color:red'>"I like unpredictable. In fact...I prefer it."</span> <span style='color:FFFF99'>She bit her bottom lip and took a step back from him and put her left hand on her hip, letting the other arm go limp by her side. She looked him up and down, holding back the smile that threatened to creep apon her maw. She was becoming quiet interested in the Anubi before her, but she couldn't help but wonder if he could get jealous. She averted her eyes from him for a split second to see a group of boys nearby and she gave a small motion towards them that they noticed instantly. One of them looked her up and down and whistled softly. Di's gaze went straight back to 'Ras and she smiled softly, wondering what he would do.</span></span>
He smiled and cocked his head at her, wondering why she had done that. He felt for her, but he was a flirt too, it was in both of their natures to do that. He kept smiling at her, but this time, it held a hint of sadness as he shrugged his shoulders at her.
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:FFFF99'>Diana felt a tinge of pain as she saw that smile and she looked back to the boys as stuck her tongue out.</span> <span style='color:red'>"Hey boys...get over yourselves. I got my eyes on someone else."</span> <span style='color:FFFF99'>She smiled as the boys groaned and walked off. Di averted her attention back to 'Ras and smiled, taking a couple of steps closer to him and she looped her arms around his waist.</span> <span style='color:red'>"And if you guess correctly on who I have my eyes on then maybe...just maybe...I would give them a kiss. If you guessed correctly."</span></span>
'Ras chuckled slightly as she looped her arms around his waist. He, in turn, grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him. He moved his face closer to hers and smiled "Could it be me?" he asked slyly and locked his lips on hers.
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:FFFF99'>Di felt like she was beginning to melt but she kept her composure...well most of it. She leaned into him slightly and kissed him back softly, though as she pulled away she nipped his bottom lip. Diana had quiet a fetish for biting as one could say. She smiled up at 'Ras and a blush crept across her cheeks and she kissed him softly again.</span> <span style='color:red'>"Bingo...you win the grand prize. Me..."</span> <span style='color:FFFF99'>Di giggled softly and bit her bottom lip, a slight nervous habit she hadn't done in a long time till today.</span></span>
'Ras watched her and as he saw her biting her lower lip, he lifted up one hand and with a finger, drew the lip away from her teeth, keeping her from biting it. He smiled down at her, his eyes partially closed in happiness.
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:FFFF99'>Diana smiled sheepishly and a small laugh escaped her again.</span> <span style='color:red'>"It's a little habit. Is it that bad?"</span> <span style='color:FFFF99'>She smiled and brought her arms up to loop around his neck softly instead of his waist and she leaned against him softly.</span></span>
He nodded and wrapped his arms tighter about her waist until she was pushed up against him, his somewhat muscular chest practically staring her in the face as he looked down at her. (((ARGH!! *grabs head and runs around the room screaming* WRITER"S BLOCK!!)))
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:FFFF99'>OOC: I think I could fix that. Hehe. IC: Diana cuddled against 'Ras slightly and smiled up at him. Sudenlly a small, mischevious smile crossed her maw and she snatched his sketch book and just ran. She let out a laugh and looked back to him, a playfull smile now replacing the devilish one.</span> <span style='color:red'>"I bet you can't catch me...even if I do have your sketch book....hmm. I wonder what you've all drawn."</span> <span style='color:FFFF99'>She smiled softly and flipped open the sketch book and began to flip through the pages. She head it held against her stomach slightly for support as she held it softy with both hands, she didn't want to damage it. Her long biege tail swayed behind her in quick motions, as it always did when she was playfull.</span></span>
'Ras gasped as she yanked the sketch book from his hands. He threw and arm out after her, but she narrowly escaped him. He began to chase after her, his eyes wide. In his sketch books were a number of interesting sketches, from other 'dragons, both male and female, to one of the hallway and the upcurving staircase filled with students. there were even a few of lone trees. Many of them were so amazing and perfect, some people claimed that tthey could hear the chatter of students, the sighing of the 'dragon as he/she stared out the window at the rain, and that they could feel the wind that made the leaves of the trees blow and occasionally, the trunks bend. His eyes were frantic as he reached for it, some of his most personal feelings were in there in the form of drawings. Especially the one he never, ever showed to anyone and if questioned about it, denied it's existance. It was a self-portrait. It was of 'Ras, sitting on a rock that seemed to swim in a puddle, his hair plastered against his wet face as the rain streamed down. His knees were drawn up on the rock in front of him ans his arms were wrapped around his knees. His chin rested atop them and you could faintly see, amoungst the rain drops, tears streaming down his face. He saw her flip to that page. The shading of that picture produced depression in him most of the time. He slowed down and came to a stop near her "So you found that one, huh?' he asked her. That one showed how he felt most of the time, alone.
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:FFFF99'>Diana stood stock still as she stared at the saddening picture of 'Ras and a gloomy look crossed her face. She looked up to 'Ras and tears were in her eyes. She closed the sketch book and hugged him suddenlly, her arms looped around him tightly as she kissed his cheek and whispered in his ear softly.</span> <span style='color:red'>"I promise you that you will never be sad and you will never be along again. I...I love you Ras."</span> <span style='color:FFFF99'>A small smile crossed her maw and she hugged him tightly agian.</span></span>
He smiled sadly as she spoke, but he was already depressed that she had found that. He was unable to return the hug but for a slight twitch of his hand that brought it to rest on her side. He averted his eyes from her, looking at the ground a bit shamefully. After a bit, he brought himself back and held Di at arm's length, bringging up one finger and brushing away the tears in her eyes. "No I won't" he said quietly. "I won't now that I have you. I love you too." he said and smiled again.
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:FFFF99'>A massive grin spread across her face and she giggled, and with a sudden jolt she jumped into his arms. Her thin arms looped around his neck while her legs were looped around her waist and she kissed him. She was happier than she had every been. It was the first time in her whole life, that she had ever heard that. And she hoped to god that he would never take it back.</span> <span style='color:red'>"I'm glad you said that, I was so afraid."</span></span>
He was a bit taken back as she jumped on him. His eyes were wide with suprise, but as the kiss continued, he shut his eyelids slowly. His arms lifted up, just as slowly, and wrapped themselves gently around her back, putting no pressure on. He still seemed a bit saddned, but he couldn't help it.
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:FFFF99'>Diana smiled and cuddled to him, finally jumping off of him. She took his hand and smiled softly.</span> <span style='color:red'>"Come...I want you to meet a friend of mine."</span> <span style='color:FFFF99'>She turned around and led him back towards the tree where he had first seen her and walked slowly up to Zeminia and Aed, a soft smile still playing on her lips.</span> <span style='color:red'>"Zeminia...Aedil, this is Hakaras. 'Ras, sweetheart, this is Zemenia and Aedil."</span> <span style='color:FFFF99'>She pointed to them both in turn, a soft blush across her beige cheeks as her hand stayed intertwined with 'Ras's. OOC: I think it would be polite to wait for shackle now. I don't want her to fill ignored. </span></span>
((*nod nod* Yuppers. Therefore, I will not post until Shackle does, but we need to inform the mods to not delete this thread and to put it on hold basically.))
[Eep! -hides in a corner and whimpers- I'm sorry about my disappearance, I truly am. I would have informed you all if I had been given the chance, but sometimes RL can catch you off gaurd. I'm sorry. ]
