Bittersweet Melodies (Kita)

[Kita Darling]

Kita holds her breath and shivers moans escaping her lips, he knew how to calm her. In all the best ways. Her body arches her back, she looks at him with her brilliant blue eyes, "San Diego? Or... Australia?" She asks locking her lips. "Je veux que vous me baiser partout. Me dévorer monstre effrayant oh" She replies with a grin, " Peut-être juste ... pas sur le toit ... ..."

1. I want you to kiss me everywhere. Devour me oh scary monster

2. Maybe just... not on the... roof...

[Degaré Laurent]

Degare breathed out a "Yes, San Diego...tiens" before helping his girlfriend up. He became too lost in the motions of their bodies touching between to continue the discussion. Taking his turn first, the man lowered himself off the roof and held out his arms to catch Kita; once she was down he would vanish with the woman back into his old house to lay her down on his bed sensually with a passion that burned bright.

After the night she was exhausted. She curls up against Degaré and sleeps. The poor ifrit was feeling the effects of her pregnancy. She stays asleep through the night. They had a busy day ahead of them and she was exhausted.

[Degaré Laurent]

Degare awoke in his bed, his arms holding Kita as physically close as possible. The wicked pumpkin tattoo between his shoulder blades smiled as he moved to sit up. His thicker frame leaned over as he gently kissed the side of his lover's face; he didn't wish to wake her, and so let a smile to himself take the place of speech.

The smell of ash and burnt citrus played off his skin as he went to get out of the tangle of sheets they had wound up in. Dust had settled on any flat surfaces--books, shelves and counters during their owner's absence. The spellsword reached out for an old photo album he discovered. "So this is where I left it..." he commented quietly, flipping through the pages. They were photos of his parents and a few dorky ones of his childhood.

[Kita Darling]

Kita looks at Degare after waking up quietly. She lets out a soft yawn, "Donc vous avez utilisé pour vivre ici à droite?" She asks shivering a little after the blanket fell off of her. She stretches herself, it was habit to talk to Degare in French.

1. So you used to live here right?

[Degaré Laurent]

Her boyfriend often switched back and forth from English to French that he sometimes didn't catch the change. "Salut fleur il endormi. Yeah, I used to live here...though it isn't my childhood home. Cela se passait au Luxembourg". He smiled, the sheets where he used to be held abnormal warmth to them like they had just been taken out from the dryer. He held the photo album open glancing over the only picture he really had of Dominic when they were younger; his older brother's hair was black and eyes a bluish green, far different from how he looked now. If Kita was quick enough she'd be able to see it just before he shut the album closed and started to place it back onto the desk he picked it up from.


1) "Hi there sleepy flower"

2) "That was back in Luxembourg"

[Kita Darling]

Kita looks at the picture and smiles sadly. "What was Dominic like when he was little? Are you going to tell him he is going to be an uncle?"

[Degaré Laurent]

"We...never really met much". It was a fact. "His father was...livid to say the least when our mother had an affair with my dad...and I didn't know of Dominic's existence until I was thirteen", he paused to recline back into bed with a sigh. "He wasn't as psychotic, that's for sure. But I knew something bad was going on at home. He had bruising on his body a lot...always tried to play it off like he fell. Thing was, he always played with swords so he couldn't have been clumsy enough to injure himself like that".

The Ifrit went quiet recalling some secret that he blushed at slightly. "We got pretty close after his initial hesitation..and then Epoch stole him". "But uh..anyhow, my brother used to be like any other abused kid. Quiet, always jumpy, sometimes aggressive. We both have German in our blood". Degare then tacked on, "I'm not sure how he'd react to a child now, so no, I haven't told him yet". Truth was he feared for the safety of their kid.

[Kita Darling]

Kita leans against him and smiles, "Well you only just found out yourself... same for me... maybe it is best we wait a while. After all we never know what could happen tomorrow." She says with a smile then makes a face, "So I think tonight and tomorrow and maybe a week or two after that are fine wherever... but then we have to find a place that can hold me you and the baby." She closes her eyes. The poor girl was exhausted. Her visions had been coming less frequently, but she was still tired.

[Degaré Laurent]

The man smiled again softly as his hand trailed down to lock fingers with his girlfriend. "No pressure at all, right I get it", he joked sarcastically. Even the money he got from Dreadnaught wouldn't be enough to afford a new place. He had loans with interest he still owed the to the bank that took up most of his income. Three days was hardly enough time for a house to be sold, and if they were lucky they could find a place on the first website they looked up. If they were going to put an offer down it had to be a substantial amount.

" My house in Luxembourg could fit us...but I've always been more interested by the coast", he stated it like he wanted to do anything but return home. Looking to Kita, he moved his hand over her stomach. "And then we need the baby things...". Degaré was wracking his brain trying to not seem like this was all stressing him out. When he started speaking again he removed his hand to make social gestures with it, " Wait, did the doctor tell you the gender?", the Ifrit looked at her expectantly but then countered it with,"No don't tell me. We'll just buy neutral colors. But we still need a few baby names..". The man grabbed a notepad and an old pen off the computer desk looking ready as he could be, writing 'Boy' one side and 'Girl' on the other. It probably wasn't necessary to have it written down but it sure did make him feel better.

[Kita Darling]

Degarè was moving a little fast for the tiny ifrit to keep up with, "Let's move to San Diego... I inherited a house from my parents there. There is a lot out there for me, I have a house and a trust to pay for things I cannot afford. The deal was though that I wasn't to use the trust until I had a baby...as for names I like... Isabelle and Jason."

[Degaré Laurent]

As he was listening to her, the man nodded writing down the names along the appropriate spots. Degare paused a few scant seconds thinking to himself and then added on a the two names, one for each, that he liked. He had kept the notepad more tilted towards himself just long enough to add the names and then showed it to Kita. "So I was thinking...Desmond if it's a boy and Tina for a girl. But I like the ring of 'Izzy' for a girl...what do you think ma cherie?". It was obvious he hadn't spent much more than five seconds picking out the names he had tacked on. His hand laced fingers with hers spreading warmth to her smaller body; even on the coldest of days he was a walking furnace.

[Kita Darling]

Unlike Degare who was a walking furnace, Kita was prone to getting cold easily. Her fingers run through her hair, before they lace with his. "I like Desmond, but I also like Isabelle." She replies nodding. She was excited about this, though her stomach kept hurting.
