( the astrologist spoke softly, approaching the door where he stood and waiting for him to turn towards her. )

Before you leave... There's something I must do.

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

( emerald eyes quietly watch as he settled the groceries in their place, and even made a quick lunch for her... )

( her hand lifting to remove her coat, she'd place it aside and watch as he served the salad, before he'd go for the door... )

Wait.

[mika's owl . 🦉 @D4WNPHOENIX]

i'm not .

( he slept in her bed, after all. and carrying the bulk of the bags had not laden him with too much. he swung a half ton blade around like it was a stick one handedly. )

i got it . you should relax .

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

Observing the way he would react to her words, she could see he had partially taken the bait... All that was left was to fulfill the deal they settled on.

" Very well. You tell me your constellation, and I'll tell you everything there is to know about it. Sounds fair, no? "

“ • no 、i’m pretty sure there’s more to it. “ forefinger 𖬺 thumb trap around his chin 、face twisting into a thoughtful expression. “ tell me —— 𖬺 i’ll consider it. “ another dare to bait her further —— watch.

mind with thoughts of me until they're obsessed with me, until all they can think about is me. "

She'd shrug and lean her body back, the robe she wore sliding to half of her shoulders, barely staying on.

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

Oh, he was rather cunning when it came to comments and praises... Sadly, Mona wasn't one to swoon so easily. He'd have to try a lot harder than that.

" I am no angel, dear. I am a mage, I tend to do things an angel would never consider doing. One being flooding a person's

He shook his head, disguising the smile that crept on his lips as he lifted his chin, looking down at her.

"Compared to me," he began, flashing her a grin, "You're basically an angel. Are you out to prove me wrong, darling?"

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

@WlLDHARE Very well, then. I have poured a cup for you, in case you wish to indulge and keep me company.

bring the bags inside. )

Thank you... For helping out. I'll settle everything in place... You must be tired.

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

the astrologist would walk alongside him, quietly looking down with reddish cheeks... This felt even more domestic than before... And she got this weird urge to ask him to stay more... )

( but she got herself together, and focused on opening the door for him to

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

following him around, and letting him buy things for her... But it was too much. )

( the basket was almost overfilled with groceries, more than she could eat... She made a mental note to thank him somehow. )

( once they were done and carrying bags back to her place,

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

( the entire time they would walk and shop together, mona would reveal bits of things she liked or disliked, not suspecting this was his focus on getting to know her better... )

( each time she'd try to look at a price, he would drag her away, so she simply settled on

[mika's owl . 🦉 @D4WNPHOENIX]

( she looked pretty like this, and how she usually did. she was pretty. he should focus. )

( part of him wished this side of mona was unique to his eyes. the loungewear, even if hidden. the hair worn loose. a one - time sight he could savour before bed. )

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

@D4WNPHOENIX ( chuckling softly at his remark, Mona would watch him with an amused smile, head tilting to observe his expression more clearly. )

Thank you, Master Diluc. You're far too kind.

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

She could only hope he plays along and tells her... Of course, she'd also make sure he doesn't lie to her and give her the wrong one.

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

Now, he was one confusing individual... But that made Mona all the more curious to know more about him. He seems to not know about her power, and the main focus of it... Good.

" I'm merely curious. You do have one, don't you? I could find it in the sky and tell you about it. "

a side ways glance to her current state —— light dimmer && into a faint blueish green 𖬺 faint yellow. “ • will something happen if i tell you .ᐣ “ orange is a color that usually makes one cautious —— zainn even more so.

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

All the things he just named made her realize he was talking about a very clear goal... He intended to claim her, no?

" What makes you think I'm nice? "

She'd ask, tilting her head and awaiting his answer. She wasn't as sweet and innocent as he thought she was.

[ᴘꜱʏᴄʜᴏ 🔴 𝔬𝔣𝔣𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔢 @DragoN109Z0N3]

"No," he replied, shaking his head, "I admire what I admire because I am possessive and fixated with the idea of taking. Of conquering. Of devouring."
He paused, closing his eyes for a brief moment before giving her an apologetic smile.
"I'm not as nice as you are, doll."

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

these questions were out of his interest. She merely connected it to their little outing. )

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

( before stepping out, Mona would put on a coat of hers to cover most of her frame, making it seem like she was wearing a dress instead of casual clothes. )

( as for her hair, she'd simply let it loose, placing her hair tie in her pocket, her dark purplish-raven hair

[mika's owl . 🦉 @D4WNPHOENIX]

i hope so . you promised to attend the grocery shop .

( and yet, still unable to rid himself of this need to orbit her. to be within her presence. )

( he's out the door with her soon, walking side by side. he steals too many glances, thinks far too much +

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

reaching all the way to her hips as she spoke with him during their walk. )

Hmm... I'm not too picky about the food I eat. Although, I do dislike olives, and I don't really like beans too much... Other than that, I find anything edible to be good.

( she had no idea

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

For me?

I'd love that, darling.

[ᅟᅟ🎪 ⸻ 𝐒𝗂͟𝗹͟𝗲͟𝗇͟t 𝒞𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝆺𝅥 @R3DVEIL]

@ncxastra You want?

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

@D4WNPHOENIX Yes... That is quite enough...

( foolish. She knew she wanted more, but she'd contain herself. Had she let him continue, she'd get addicted, and never let go. )

[﹙𝕯﹚𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 ﹙𝕬﹚𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓼 @ncxastra]

@D4WNPHOENIX ( letting her body flow with the feelings he brought out from her, the astrologist could feel herself slowly getting drawn in to him, slowly captivated by his presence, his affection, his being... )

( once he pulled back, her eyes would open, gazing into vermillions. )
