[Sima Oratio]

Sima laid briefly beside her listening to her words quietly. Something was a little different with the tone of her voice. When she asked how they wee going to create new memories.  Her words filtered through his mind a thousand ideas approaching to a single conclusion. "I think i have an idea!" Sima spoke excitedly. Sima was beginning to wonder what Lilith might expect him to suggest. Sima of course was not always so easily defined. "I think that we should play a game!" This is when Sima realized that she may not exactly understand his games, all of the ones that he understood came from his world. He still found that playing a game could be entertaining and fun. Sima could always propose removing clothing, so trying something new could be really fun. Sima looked over to Lilith noticing how the fire reflects off her skin. What thoughts could possibly replace the one of knowing that he loved her. There was a question that was beginning to bug him however. Was Sima fully over Hotaru and everything that had happened. He wanted to continue forward full with Lilith and the restaurant, he knew that for sure. However the feeling of what had happened seemed to be constant, and he wanted to be able to enjoy his time with Lilith instead of comparing their relationship or worrying if things would turn out the same.

Lilith smiled. A game? Alright! She removed her hand from his hair and took him off of her lap. Standing up, she stretched her arms above her head, letting out a little yawn. She lowered her arms and smiled at him again. What shall we play then? She reached out and took his hands in hers, pulling him up stand with her. She had a playful look on her face, and a glimmer in her eyes.

[Sima Oratio]

Sima looked down at her hands and smiled. What kind of game could they play? Sima knew the ones that involved groups, but one involving just two was rare to find. Luckily Sima had one game he knew about, but it was rather personal. He had never played this game with anyone else, in fact he didn't come up with it at all. Sima was taught this game from his previous partner. Sima looked at her with a smile, despite the memories of the past floating up into his head once again. "So, Lilith. Turn around, or give me your fore arm, but if you give me your fore arm you can't peak!" Sima looked at her with curious eyes. "So the aim of the game is to read my message, but the catch is I can't use words." Siam was surprised that he was not embarrassed to be saying this. "Instead, you are to 'feel' what I have to say." This was Sima trying to say he was writing a message on Lilith's skin, and she had to use nothing but the feel of his touch to register what message he was sending her. 

It was anything to spectacular, but it was something little, yet personal and intimate. "So turn around, " Sima felt like she would peek if he had done it on her fore arm, the upper back was a better place to start. Of course Lilith could refuse to play this game if she so desired, Sima could probable think of others things to do.

Lilith looked at him curiously, excited to know what he had in mind. She saw something flash behind the smile in his eyes, but chose not to question it— everyone had memories, who was she to question his? She nodded at his explanation and turned around slowly, but not before she jumped up and kissed his nose for no apparent reason.

She stood with her back facing him and waited eagerly. She knew he was going to use her back instead, but while she waited, she leaned back, pressing her back against his chest softly. She couldn’t help it — she just loved the feel of his body against her own, it was comforting.

Okay, I’m ready. Her voice was excited, and he would be able to hear it clearly.

[Sima Oratio]

Sima carefully moved Lilith's dress to reveal her back more fully, and without interruption from the cloth Lillith would be able to feel his touch much easier and without any barriers. Sima lightly pressed his finger against her bare back not putting too much pressure however. He slowly began to trace invisible lines that would soon form letters and then words. Slowly, he began to trace an arch, which would be taken as a 'n' or an 'r' with how loose his placement was. Sima continued to trace letters on her back, looping a circle on her back easily recognizable as a 'e'. Sima continue to do this with two other easily recognizable letters. 'c', and 'k' Sima was beginning to wonder if she would be able to figure it out yet. 

[Deleted]

She felt him move the fabric of her dress and it caused a slight shiver to take over her body. A small smile still set on her face, Lilith waited until he drew all the letters. The feel of his skin against hers cause goosebumps to arise, and she shivered again, having difficulty concentrating on the letters.

Ummm…. N…. E… C… Neck? She turned her head slightly to look at him confused. Why neck?

[Sima Oratio]

Sima looked at Lilith a big grin stretching across his face. He liked this game, no, he loved this game. It was especially fun with someone special. Lilith was a beautiful personality that molded his original view into something much more enjoyable. Lilith was a temptation, always lingering on his mind, the thought of seeing her again drove that hand of time to move faster. Lilith was someone who kept on giving, only not noticing exactly what she was handing out. Lilith handed out something no one else could give to Sima, and her own eyes were blindly unaware of it. Neck? Why the neck? Sima smiled a not-so-innocent smile as he leaned in towards her neck and kissed it, his heart quickening in pace, not for him being nervous, in fact Sima himself didn't know why. 

Sima kissed her neck a few more times, pulling away only to utter the words. "That's why.." Sima wasn't even sure how she would receive that, but hopefully it would be positive. 

[Deleted]

Lilith saw him smile, and she smiled back, the confused look still in her eyes. He remained silent for a moment, and she couldn’t help but wonder what was going through his mind as he stared at her. For a reason she could not describe, her head began to pound, and her skin became flushed.

Lilith looked away, facing forward once more, a smile still on he face. She felt Sima move away the hair on her shoulder and neck, and lean down. She could feel his breathing on her skin, and it gave her goosebumps. His lips touched her neck and it made her heart jump and her breath catch in her throat. She felt it again, and again, until he pulled away to whisper so close to her ear.

Oh… She cleared her throat silently, her voice cracking and catching in her throat when she tried to speak. Slowly, she turned her body so it faced him. He was much taller than her, so she had to reach up on her tip toes, but she pushed away any hair that might be in her way, and let her lips slightly drag against the skin on his collar bone, neck and shoulder, before kissing his neck.

Turn around Her voice was hoarse.

[Sima Oratio]

Sima wished he could memorize every detail. The way she moved from his collar bone to his neck, and the way she pulled away. He also noted the tone in her voice, his heart pumping heavier than what he was used to. "Turn around" She spoke, and the words echoed in his mind. "Turn around? Are you sure, I would love to look at your face.." Sima smiled, but kept his tone quiet. Sima looked down her body, following the curves on her side downward, before moving back up to meet her eyes. His eyes glared into her beautiful purple eyes, each one representing the beauty Lilith held inside. Sima wanted to protest turning around much more than he currently was, however he felt that she wanted to try something, obviously. He complied with her request and turned around, trying as much as he could to keep his eyes on her before turning around completely. 

Sima didn't know why but his heart was racing. He had already been in situations like this with Lilith before, but for some reason his heart still sped up. Maybe it was not always fast, or heavy, but Lilith always found a way to get his heart moving. He looked down at his hands, but as he did his heart dropped, almost as if it ceased from moving. His hands began trembling ever so slightly, as he realized just exactly how horrible these hands were. They may have been clean, but the scent of the victims he had ended earlier still seemed fresh on them. The scent only brought back memories of a previous time.

Lilith smiled as he turned, a small and shy little thing. Once he was no longer facing her, she wrapped her arms around his waist, grasping his hands in hers as she did. She felt them tremble. She could only imagine the things he was feeling. She needed to help him forget. With a quick squeeze of her hands, she released him, and placed both of her palms against his back. Slowly, she moved on hand, using her finger to write. The first letter would be a very obvious “B”. The next could be felt as an a, or an o. Then a T. and an H. She wrapped her arms around his waist again, lifting his shirt slightly. She rested her cheek against his back, hugging him tightly.

[Sima Oratio]

Lilith's hand on his back brought him back to the present. What was she spelling? he remained silent and let her draw ot hte letters his brain easily able to recognize most of the letters. He took what he had and assembled a word. "A bath?" Sima asked her curiously. He brought up a wide smile, thinking of the other time they took a bath together. He didn't know why but he just liked the idea of being able to bathe with her. He waited a few minutes before feeling like it was o.k to turn around and face her. He stared back into the vast purple eyes that seemed to tell a story every time. Whether it was a story that was about his past wife, or a story about what he wanted there future to look like, it was something he always looked forward to, at least lately. So now Sima wanted something more, he wanted Lilith. Sima loved her, and he always looked for ways to show that love. Whether it was telling her she was beautiful to looking at her smile, it was irrelevant. 

To Sima it was about showing her just how much he loved her, and what that meant. Meanings like that he would always be hers, as long as she wanted him, or how he would never hurt her, and always hold their bond of the highest importance. Sima loved Lilith and he wanted her to know it, he wanted others to know, unless them knowing it would somehow put her in danger. Sima grabbed her hand, her writing the word bath really made the idea stick in his head. "So are you saying we should go have one?" Sima asked with a mischievous tone. "Because I don't want you to go alone.." Sima added as if in an attempt to remain some sort of innocence. 

[Deleted]

When he turned, she smiled, nodding as he spoke. He caught on quickly. That is exactly what I’m saying. And I never said I wanted to go alone… She tugged at the bottom of his shirt for a moment, before letting go. With a playful smile and laugh, she moved away from him and lightly jogged over the the bathroom door, under the loft. She opened it, glanced over at him once more, and slipped off the bottoms under her dress, keeping the dress on for the moment. She tossed the garment on the floor a few feet away, and slipped into the bathroom.

Join me? Her voice was barely above a whisper, but she knew he’d hear her.

[Sima Oratio]

Sima watched as moved towards the bathroom, his body glued to where he was, almost as if he was in a trance. Lilith's tone attracted him more and more, keeping him focusing on her like she was the only object in the world. His eyes spoke nothing but "I want you" in a clear tone hidden underneath his soft blue eyes. He finally moved to follow the scent of the woman that had lft before him, he followed exactly her pattern as he edged closer towards the bathroom. Her words echoed through his mind. "Join me" Something so simple, yet when uttered by her lips felt like a daydream that was everlasting. He quickened his pace to where Lilith was in the bathroom. He moved in to wrap his arms around her, holding his head near her nack, his chest against her back. He kissed her neck lightly, slowly moving down, attempting to follow the trail of her spine. However, he was stopped by her dress. Of course, Sima had planned to be stopped by her dress. "This is our first bath in the house isn't it?" Sima smiled widely, clearly a smile he couldn't keep off his face even if he wanted to. 

[Deleted]

Lilith felt him wrap his arms around her, and she fell back into him, loving the feel of it. He kissed down to her back, stopping at the collar of her dress.

Yes it is. You did tell me you wanted to make new memories here… didn’t you? If I recall correctly, taking a bath together in our old home was also one of our first memories together. She smiled a large smile, turning her head up to look at him. She had him let go of her, and tugged his shirt once more, until it came off of him. Turning away from him once more, she pulled her hair over her shoulder.

Undo the buttons for me?

[Sima Oratio]

Sima found himself staring at Lilith, even if the intention was not to stare at her body, her form, his eyes couldn't trail away from it. He knew that he loved Lilith as a person, her quirks, personalities, everything. He realized she may have worries about the past, about people wanting her only for her body. Sima only hoped she realized that Sima didn't want just her body, but everything that she had to offer. He wanted her smile, her laugh, her cries, her whispers. Sima wanted every fucking emotion, including those nasty ones. What possible reason would he accept negative emotions for? This was simple, it was because every person inhibited negative emotions, pulling bad emotions from someone was not possible, but accepting these bad emotions, and perhaps even bad qualities, was apart of being there for her and loving her. 

Sima would, without a doubt, endanger his own life to protect Lilith. Sima became attached to her quite strongly, so strongly in fact that he became easily worried with little details. As he stared at Lilith the moments seemed to stand still, letting his mind wander and think about such things. Lilith quite literally meant the world to him, because in this new world, it was all he had to hold onto. Losing Lilith was like losing the only memory worth while, the only memory worthwhile on this world anyways. 

Sima had a life here, whether or not he wanted to admit this. Sima was entangled with Lilith, he held a restaurant with her name, they shared a home. Without Lilith, Sima would not have a home. Sima wasn't even sure if he would have a restaurant without her help pushing to get it. Sima knew he wanted a restaurant, and to be honest, if he saved the money up himself he wasn't quite sure he would go through with it. When Lilith presented him that money, there was no going back once he accepted it. 

Sima snapped back into attention when she requested removing the buttons. Sima quietly began to do what she requested, for some reason feeling more shy then usual.
