I aM tHe WaLrUs

[KERFUFFLE]

Yup. Though, technically I finish school on the 13th of July, school ends on the 24th or 25th, I think.

Asher stayed quiet. As before, there was a deep contrast between the silence that had fallen on the pair before. Yes, both times, it weighed heavily, but the last time, it had been almost unbearable, whereas now it was just fine, blissful, in fact. He was very thoughtful, actually, about some aspects surrounding his life in New York. "Lucy.." he asked her softly, "I wonder if you would maybe consider, once everything's moved in, staying with me more often, or the other way around, if you like and maybe living with me sometime.. soon?" He knew being away from her would be so much harder for him now.

That stinks!

Next year, I won't be going to school until mid to late August, and I'll be done in the first week of may.

Lucy placed a hand over his heart, feeling it thumping against his chest, something she loved to feel in this manner. She looked up from his chest and quietly said, "I'd love to move in with you. Maybe we can get you completely moved in tonight, and I can bring some of my stuff over, and we could start either tonight or tomorrow. I don't want to be away from you." She kissed him tenderly, briefly, then murmured, "I'll be especially happy if we share more moments like these."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Wow. And I guess your other holidays are longer, too, like they are here at university?

Asher was surprised that she didn't seem to hesitate at all, not only at the idea of moving in sometime soon, but tonight or tomorrow, even. "Well, then you can come and live with me as soon as I've got my things moved in," he said, smiling very widely, extremely happy. "And we'll throw our housewarming party, not just mine."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Yeah, I think so.

Lucy grinned at him, then kissed his cheek and told him, "I can't wait to move in with you! It'll be like a party all the time! A good party, not a lame one." She looked out the window, noticing the pale light the gray clouds created, and the rain sliding down the glass window. She was glad to be indoors, cuddling with Asher, rather than out in the cold rain.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Well, that'll be cool, too.

So what course is it that you're taking, exactly?

Asher returned the kiss, and said, "I can only say I'm glad. I can't say I was totally sure what you'd think if I asked you. But I guess if you don't try, you won't know." He ran his fingers gently through her hair thoughtfully-- thinking about how wonderful it was going to be, to be able to spend so much time with this wonderful girl. Have her be the first thing he saw in the morning, and the last at the end of the day.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Well, my major is going to be in vocal performance, with a musical theater/opera emphasis

Lucy replied, "Well, how could I say no? I mean, we both know we belong together, and that it would be good for both of us to be together anyway. And, I really don't think I'll be able to stand being away from you for a long time, anyway." She then noticed how the light played on his skin, how it made his eyes look even grayer than they normally did.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Nice. Think if I was taking a musical subject at uni it would be more instrument based. I wish I could sing better xD

Though, saying that, I can sing better than most of the girls who are first study singers in my music class.

Asher nodded, "I knew from what happened today that spending a long time away from you after.. Well, being with you this way, would be near impossible. And I promised you I'd give myself to you, so I need to be with you as much as you want." He watched the rain hit the window panes, and it relaxed him further, because of his love for the rain, and for once, for being out of it, in the warm, cuddled with Lucy.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Just keep training your voice! you never know what could happen. =)

Lucy went silent after that, moving so she could face the window, with her back pressed firmly against Asher's chest. She felt pleasantly tired, and could notice her mind, drifting, hazy, but in a relaxed way. Gently, she placed his hands on her stomach, so his arms were wrapped around her.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I will, it's improved a lot lately, actually =D

Asher held Lucy tightly, but comfortably so, in his arms, his face buried in her soft hair. He inhaled her gorgeous scent, closing his eyes as he did so, and then sighing contently. He was tired now, too, quite happily able to doze off if he wanted.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

That's awesome! Keep working at it, I bet you'll be surprised at just how good you can get!

Lucy yawned and said to Asher, "I don't know about you, but I'm completely exhausted, Asher. Being with you-- in that way-- was completely exhilarating, but after everything that's happened, I think sleep would be a good idea. Hopefully, we'll get up in a couple hours and be able to get you moved into your apartment."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Thanks

Asher nodded tiredly and replied, "I agree. I think I could definitely do with a couple of hours sleep before we head over to my-- our apartment, really, I suppose." He loved being able to call it that, so he just couldn't help himself. "Sweet dreams, baby," he whispered, kissing her neck, "I love you." And then he allowed himself to drift off. It was easy, this time, evan easier than it had been last night.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

No problem!

Lucy stayed awake for a while longer, lost in thoughts about Asher, herself, and what had happened-- not to mention what could happen between them in the future. The possibilities seemed endless, really. She smiled slightly, whispering an "I love you" before falling asleep herself, the sound of the rain like a lullaby.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Asher slept easily, soundly, but not too deeply, so that, a few hours later, he didn't feel groggy when he first opened his eyes, and felt as though he was ready to get up as soon as was required. After everything that had happened, his body had welcomed sleep. He lay in bed and listened to the soft sound of Lucy's breathing.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Lucy eventually stirred and opened her eyes, then rolled into Asher's arms. "Hu--- oh!" She had forgotten where she was, because she was still somewhat drowsy. "Hello love," she said quietly, craning her neck up to kiss him. "How are you feeling?" She rested herself on her elbow, eying him happily.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Asher leaned down and returned her kiss gently; one to her lips, then one on her cheek. "Evening, baby," he replied, brushing across her chin affectionately with his thumb, "you look beautiful, as always." He smiled and said, "I'm wonderful, thank you. And how about you?"

 

[Bunny_grl07]

trying to get everything set before I record my video Dx

Lucy beamed up at him and said, "Thank you, Asher." She nuzzled him affectionately, then added, "I'm feeling amazing, actually. Now that I've had a nap, I feel a lot better than I did earlier." She gave him a hug, then started scanning the room, to see where her clothes could be. When she managed to find them, she rolled out of bed and picked up her underwear, changing into that first.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Good luck with all that

"That's good. We'll need it. The only bad part about moving in, unfortunately. But it'll be worth it," Asher smiled, sliding out of bed and finding his boxers on the floor, followed by his jeans. His shirt, unfortunately, was bloodstained, and it smelled like it, too. He wasn't phased, though, it wasn't a new one or anything. He couldn't handle the smell, though, so he just retrieved his leather jacket from Lucy's hallway and slipped that on. It would do for the journey home.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Thanks =)

Lucy picked up her bloody clothes and put them in the bathtub, then went to find something decently clean to wear. She decided on a faded pair of jeans and a brown t-shirt, then pulled on her favorite pair of high top sneakers. She went out to the hallway and wrapped her arms around Asher. "You know, you look amazing in leather," she told him, smiling.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Well, I look foward to seeing it and then spreading the news about how great you are.

Until then, good luck, and I must dash, it's late! G'night! =D

Asher had just finished tying the laces on his own pair of high tops. Seeing her in her pair reminded him of their conversation about shoe taste when they first met, and he smiled to himself in amusement. He pulled her closer to him and said, "Thank you," grinning down at her. It was probably the combination of his black hair and the mysterious eyes that made him really suit leather, while on lots of men, it looked kind of corny. "You look amazing in jeans an t-shirts and, I can't believe it, but I can actually tell you how great you look when you're not wearing anything, too," he chuckled.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

See ya!

Lucy's face reddened at that, more from the fact that she had never thought a guy would think she looked good in that way rather than from embarrassment. She didn't look in the mirror and see a beautiful young woman; she just saw an average teenager, nothing special. So, it naturally flustered her to have someone who thought she was beautiful, just the way she was. "Well, I can definitely say the same thing to you," she told him, unable to keep herself from smiling. Somehow, she felt different. Not in a bad way, she just felt more mature when it came to her relationship with Asher, and herself, for that matter. And she felt like she had grown closer to Asher substantially, in the course of only a day.
