Vodka and Ice :Part 2:

Sun shined as bright as a silver dollar, walls painted white changing a shade of yellow as the sun crept up into the window through the black fabric hung against the wall. Soft inhaling, exhaling, a groan that came from the snow white fluffy blanket as the sun glared in the blue crystalline eyes. Narrowing to a low; feeling heavy and exhausted from the night. The goddess moaned lightly removing the blanket from her face. Pink strains of hair hung over her jeweled eyes. "Claire!" her ears seemed to wake to the yelling that rung from the living room to her ears. "Mmm…." She turned her attention toward the open door of the bedroom. Creeking against the wood floor light footsteps grew closer; she clutched the blanket tight against her naked body. "Light!" a younger pinkette stood in the door way to see her sister sitting up in bed. A thud and several light taps against the wood floor now sat a pile of clothes. The younger glared at her sister and huffed before walking back into the living room. The pinkette let out a sigh of relief. There was a small shift in the bed, a cold hand rubbed against her thigh. She turned her attention now on the moving lump on her bed "Caelum…" She growled. "Mmm…good morning to you too" the voice low but obviously well rested, his hand continued rubbing up and down her thigh going higher up in each stroke. She closed her eyes as a sigh expelled from her lips "Get your paws off me" she quickly stated as his hand slide down her thigh once more. Blue ocean eyes peeked through black strains of hair nearly covering his face; he gave a gentle smile. "That's not what you were saying last night" he said gently in a low but still very audible tone. "Shut up" she replied quickly, now easily angered and completely different then the night before. He said nothing just looked at her dazed at her beauty. Looking at her seemed to alleviate all the distractions that kept him closed off from the rest of the world. His hand now ran up and down her porcelain skin tracing his finger across her spine and up across her shoulders blades so moderately. Her eyes closed and her breath became the wind for a second before she became dissident toward him "its 12:30 don't you have some where to be" His hand stopped as the moment became perplexing, one emotion to another; which was expected with her. He shrugged it off "It's Saturday" the blackette sat up looking at her, eyes filled with concern; though he did not dare touch her or try and comfort her. "Get dressed and leave" she said quickly as her feet hit the ground black fabric following, her skin concealed by the blanket. Dragged across the floor toward the hole in the wall; holding clothing with very little color. His lips smacked against each other only to nod slightly, watching the soldier take a pile of clothing into the bathroom. Arms toward the ceiling he stretched facing the ocean view window. He pulled his arms back stretching once more, a yawn; feet placed firmly on the floor, his hands placed gently on his knees. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes as his hands slide down his thighs to his knees; exhaling and opening his eyes once more. He stood up and stretched, her turned his head slightly blue eyes widened at the sight of the younger who had passed by. Quickly grabbing a pillow and covering his self he turned bright red from head to toe, quiet embarrassed. Serah herself was red, placing her hand to the side of her face and looking away "Uh..I" She stuttered and walked backwards into the living room once more. "Oh shit" Noctis said as he quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the room looking for the pinkette to apologize.

Lightning came out of the shower wearing a short sleeved unbuttoned short sleeved shirt, revealing her black sports bra and belly ring, with that gray sweat pants and white moogle slippers. Turning toward the table, not yet set; looking back at the clock resting on the table. 'Click, Click' seemed to go faster and faster within each second, though it wasn't. Drips fell from her strains of hair; being improvident she let them fall to the wood floor. Mumbles from the kitchen must have been Snow and Serah; walking into the kitchen as the mumbles snapped her from her daze. "Serah, I-I…" her eyes traced the males figure; Black, black and more black, her teeth grinned together "Caelum…" He was at the stove! –cooking? Serah was next to him watching and conversing "Hey Light!" Serah smiled at the older. "Noctis was just showing me a way to cook this food for you" Lightning looked at Serah, Noctis and then the pan. "You realize this is meat, right?" she questioned. Though looking exactly like grilled chicken sitting in its own seasoning, smelling exactly like it as well. "It may look like that and smell exactly like it but it isn't" Noctis said with the smallest smile as he squeezed lemon into the pan as it sizzled. The smell rose from the pan to their noses, such a savory smell that made even lightning drool. "I hate tofu" Lightning quickly said trying to hid that fact that his food smelled very appetizing in fact it was the best smell she'd ever smelt since completely giving up meat. Noctis shrugged "Be my guest then you don't have to eat it, but it's actually way better then you'd think." He turned stepping away, toward the counter where he placed lettuce, tomato, spinach, carrots, unions, and croutons with a dash of lemon juice. Serah watched; Lightning looked at him for a moment. The smell crept up on her as she looked at the pan. She huffed so lightly it was inaudible to the others, looking at them then to the pan once more. She reached her hand into the pan slowly pulling out a piece of food, quickly nearly dropping the piece she placed it in on her tongue letting the juices cover every taste bud savoring it; she slowly chewed the piece that made her eyes light up and only crave for more. Noctis smiled now standing behind her "good isn't it?" Rolling her eyes she walked over the cabinets saying nothing. Pulling out plates and silverware; she set that table. Serah laughed lightly at the interaction between the two. As the table was not set, Noctis finished cooking placing the bowl of salad in the middle of the table next to the bowl of tofu flavored chicken, he walked over to the blender and placed the red liquid into a jar. He took his seat placing the jar on the table. "Well enjoy" he said everything was freshly made even the strawberry lemonade that sat in its pitcher. The salad was made differently than light was used to, with strawberries and raspberries inside, chicken on the side even fresh raspberry dressing for the salad was something different. Silver clanked against the glass plates as it grew silent no words coming from either end of the table, suddenly it's stopped and the only one eating was the chef himself. "Wow" Serah said as the flavors of every single ingredient clashed together so perfectly. "This is amazing even better than my own cooking Noctis!" Lightning huffed with amusement, she found it funny how a great cook like Serah could be out beaten by a spoiled prince "Your giving it to much praise, Serah; your cooking is far greater" Serah eyed the soldier, she knew because they are in fact related that it was expected of her to say such things "Oh no but it isn't, Claire; he used such fresh ingredients" Noctis chuckled at Serah's words as he ate simple shaking his head in disagreement "I say Serah you are an amazing cook start using fresh ingredients and you could open your own successful restaurant" Serah smiled as the table grew silent once more, just the sound of glasses hitting against the table, and silverware hitting plates every so often. 'tick, tick' there it was again the sound of silent so quiet she could her count the seconds from the clock. '1…….2……3….4…5,6" Faster within each tick.

Lightning rose from her seat, taking her plate along with Noctis' to the sink "Thanks, that was great" Serah said also getting up and placing the dishes in the sink as Lightning washed them. "I shall be on my way" Noctis finally said as he helped clean the kitchen. Lightning finished the dishes and turned to him before walking out into the living, the others following behind her "Thanks" Lightning finally said walking him to the door. They both now stood outside with the rain the seemed to just start. He stood there, little said; rain poured—the sound left undisturbed. "Don't ever talk about it?" He broke the undisturbed rainfall. Lightning simple nodded, waiting outside for his ride with him. "Never" her lips parted to form more words, only letting out a small breath clearly visible in the cold. He let out a small breath also visible. Silence filled the air once more; she walked closer to him the cold getting to her. "I" She said lightly "I am going inside" The prince turned looking at the streets then the soldier; so close they nearly touched. His cold hands pressed against her warms skin, only to pull her closer so there hips touched, his forehead against hers "Don't go" he whispered. Looking up at him her lips slid across his "It's cold" the words seemed to form gently as his lips pressed against hers. Parting his lips as he kissed her; the kiss became passionate and warm in the cold air. She bit on his lower lip as he sucked on her top. Hotter, hands placed on his head; he cupped her cheeks. "mmmm.." she moaned lightly in the passionate kiss . His hands slid down her waist pressing her body back against the wall. 'beep, beep' the honking of a horn caused him to pull away slowly his lips slid across hers gently as he whispered "My ride is here" She didn't frown nor smile as she whispered "See you around Caelum" His hands slid off her persona as he turned, placing his hands in his pocket he started to walk "I love you" he whispered so softly it was inaudible to her. She watched as he walked in the rain to the black car. Her lips moved trying to form words quit enough so he couldn't hear, but he froze in the rain as her words rang in his ear. "I love you"
