Seth sat down on the couch of the common room, now dressed in red pajama pants and a black t-shirt that kinda highlighted the muscles on his body in a way. He had a bowl of popcorn in his lap and a bottle of butterbeer in his hand. Ah. Gotta love weekends.
Alice came into the common room in jeans and a light blue tee shirt that complemented her pale skin. "Hello." She said softly, seeing Seth`s back. She was in a big armchair the next second.
"Hey Owish." He said through a mouthful of popcorn. He swallowed quickly and put his stuff down.
"Whats up?"
Alice smiled. "Hey, Seth. Not much, frankly." She replied, tilting her head so the flames wouldn`t reflect off of her eyes.
"Oh." He said. "I see." He chugged his butterbeer and sighed.
Alice tilted her head as she watched Seth. "So, what`ve you been up to lately?" She asked, trying to start a conversation.
((I'm joining after Seth/Sky posts))
((Why?))
((Do I need a reason?))
Seth shrugged. "Nothing really." He smiled. "I owe you a game don't I?" He asked, referring to the lake.
Alice tilted her head. "A game?" She was confused and didn`t have a clue what he meant. When she moved her head, her bangs fell and the fire hit her eyes, making them reflect the soft light.
"You wanted to play 20 questions or something. I don't know. It sounded interesting."
Alice smiled and walked towards the over-sized armchair, sinking into the deep folds. "If you want to." She agreed. From this angle, the fire hit her eyes fully, making them sparkle fiercly.
He put his hands behind his head.
"I don't really care.." He said.
Alice rolled her eyes. "Well then, ask a question." She said, turning her head away from the flames.
Seth smirked.
"You wanted to play. So ask away." He said, running his hand through his hair.
Alice sighed as she tried to think of a question. "I don`t know, what`s your favorite color?" She asked, tilting her head, watching Seth.
"Black." He said simply. He looked at her.
"What do you think when you see the stars?"
Alice responded immediatly but softly. "I think of peace, love, and traquilty." She said slowly.
Seth chuckled and then played with a loose string on the couch.
Alice narrowed her eyes, her head still tilted. "What?" She asked, wondering why he had laughed.
"You sound like a hippie." He joked.
Alice laughed quietly. "Wow. I do, but too bad. I`m over two hundred years old, give me a break." She teased.
Seth smiled.
"I like think its cute." He said with an innocent grin.
Alice responded with a smile. "Aw, well, thank you." She said sarcastically, then she pauseed. "Wait, that I`m a hippie or that I`m ancient?"
"Everything about you." He said. And looked down at the string, pulling it off quickly.
Alice looked down at her hands, sure that she would be blushing if she could. "You`re not to bad yourself." She said softly.
"I..I wonder some things Alice." Seth said quietly after a moment of silence. He stood up and walked over to the window, his back turned to her and the sun shining on half of his face.
Alice looked up to Seth`s back. "What?" She whispered softly, hoping he would hear her. Her stomach fluttered, a feeling she hadn`t had in a long time.
He sighed. His stomach felt knotted up.
"I keep thinking about it. I'm a wolf and your a vampire. You'll live forever. I'll die. We could kill each other if we wanted to." He put his hand over his shoulder, thinking.
Alice slowly stood up and walked over to Seth, stopping when she was about a foot behind him. "I know. I`ve been thinking about that too. But I promise you, I will not kill you, ever." Her voice was quiet.
"I'm not afraid of that. But I'm afraid of our differences." He said quietly.
Why did it bother him like this?
Alice looked down to the stone floor. "I know. But when you think about it, we really aren`t that different." She said, not really liking the way she though the conversation was going.
Seth turned around to face her, but couldn't look at her.
Alice kept her eye locked on the cold floor. She didn`t know what to say, what would happen. She wanted the opposite of what she thought was happening, but she didn`t know what to do. Even someone over two centuries old didn`t know what to do sometimes.
Seth put his hand gently on her cheek, her cold mixing with his warmth.
Yet his eyes still looked away. He didn't know what to think...
Alice put one hand over Seth`s and the other on his cheek. She gently turned his face so he had to look at her. Her eyes were kind and soft. "Say what you need to say." She said softly.
He wrapped his muscular arms around her, gently pulling her into a warm embrace.
Alice let him embrace her, but something didn`t feel right. She sighed mentally, wishing Seth would just say what he had on his mind.
"I just don't want our differences ruin what we have." He said. "I just want to be sure that your alright with this."
Alice exhaled with relief. ""Don`t worry about out differences." She replied quietly.
He smiled, feeling better about their relationship. He pulled away, still holding her, and kissed her forehead ever so softly.
Alice smiled and her eyes twinkled. "Thank you." She whispered.
He let her go and turned to the window again.
Alice tilted her head at Seth. She took a step forward to stand beside him at the window. The sunlight coming in that hit her skin made her slightly uncomfortable, but she stood there. "What`s wrong?" She asked. Something in the air was off; it was too tense or something.
Seth shrugged.
"I don't know. Nothing really. I guess I'm just.." He paused for a short moment.
"Bored."
Alice didn`t think that that was really what was wrong, but she didn`t say anything. "You know, I`m really glad I finally met you."
He turned to look at her and smiled.
"And I'm glad I met you."
And he was. Actually...she pretty much meant everything to him. Ever since he kissed her when the snow was sprinkling upon the ground, he couldn't stop thinking about her.
Alice smiled up to him. "You know, I`ve been thinking a lot about you lately." She said, locking eyes with him. Her eyes were soft and warm, another thing that hadn`t happened in a while.
Seth felt his face heat up.
"Really?" He said.
He figured she had better things to think about than him.
Alice`s smile turned crooked as she saw Seth blush. She lifted her hand and ran her fingertips over his cheek, feeling the warmth.
"Really." She replied. She had indeed thought about Seth a lot. More than would be healthy for a human.
Seth felt her soft touch as she put her fingertips on his cheek. He embraced her again, his face close to hers.
"You're my last thought before I fall asleep and my first when I wake up." He whispered in her ear. "Your the Macaroni to my cheese." He smirked at his cheesy quote.
Alice smirked. "What if I don`t like macaroni?" She said sarcastically, not moving an inch away from him, staying close to his warmth.
He kissed her forehead and smiled.
"We'll come up with something."
Alice grinned up at Seth. "I`m sure." She said softly, staring up into his eyes.
((I love how I reply on my other profile and don't even realize it..XD ))
Seth smiled, looking into her wondrous eyes, feeling his stomach get butterflies. He slowly leaned in close to her, their foreheads touching.
"If I said that I were in love with you, how would you react?" He asked her in a whisper. He ran his hand through her hair as he awaited her answer.
Alice smile grew slowly and she lifted her hands to his shoulders. Her stomach fluttered and she leaned into him slightly.
"I think I would have to agree." She whispered.
Seth's mouth stretched into a small smile. He brushed his lips softly against hers to show his love for her.
Alice leaned forward slightly and pressed her lips against his.
He slowly pulled himself away, though he really didn't want to. He wanted this to last forever. He smiled at her and just looked into her eyes.
Alice smiled back, staring into his eyes and feeling only slightly rejected, but incredibly happy at the same time.
((REJECTED!? He's taking it slow lol.))
He brought his hand to cheek, touching it with the back of his hand.
((She`s sensitive! She killed someone she loved and she hates the fact that she`s a vampire! :P))
Alice slowly closed her eyes and lifted her hand over Seth`s. His hand felt hot in hers.
((Hmm))
When he looked into her eyes, his smile dropped. He seen sorrow in them. He took her other hand with his.
"Whats wrong?" He asked softly.
Alice shook her head, keeping her eyes locked with his. "Nothing," She mumbled, "Bab memories is all." She said, hoping she sounded assuring.
((Read my signature. The second thing is true. ;D ))
((Haha))
He didn't accept it but was quiet for a short moment. He debated about whether he should keep asking or not.
"Alice...you can tell me."
((It`s true! I was the very first person to have to spell a word, and when the moderator said "Chocolate," I had to keep myself from laughing. What did I do? I spelled chocolate wrong!!))
Alice stared into his eyes. "Really, you don`t have to worry. It`s nothing that you need to worry about; I`m sure you have lots of things to think about already." She insisted.
"Alice. Go ahead. I don't have that much to think about. Really."
Alice shook her head, not breaking their eye contact. "Really, it`s okay." She said softly but persistantly. "My mind is just totally swamped, it was just something I`d rather not remember." She added. It was half true; she had been thinking about the one person she`d killed out of rage.
Seth got closer to her again.
"Your hurting.." He said.
Alice shook her head again. "Seth, really. I`m okay." She said, her voice getting even softer. If he kept asking her, she would almost have to tell him. But she didn`t want him to know about some her worse memories.
He decided to stop pushing her. He smiled at her and then walked over to the couch to sit down.
Alice waited a moment until he seated himself, then walked over to the couch to sit on the opposite end of the couch.
Seth looked at her. At just how pretty she was. She made him feel all fuzzy insde. (XD)
((Awz, I wish James would feel fuzy `bout me. Seth so sweet! =P ))
Alice tilted her head, her stomach fluttering again as she saw him looking at her. "What?" She asked.
((Haha. I portray Seth as a gentlemen. And he's a romantic too. So he's like all gushy gushy haha))
He shook his head.
"Nothing."
((Sometimes it`s okay fro guys to be gushy, though. *Sigh.*))
Alice gave a tilted grin. "What? " She asked again, her voice slightly louder and teasing.
"I love you...?" He said with a grin.
Alice-`s smile grew. "I... love you too." She said, her voice soft again.
((Awz. He`s so sweet. Why did he say it as a question?))
((Eh..one of those moments where your like just staring at the person. And when they say what, you kinda get nervous.))
He grinned and leaned over, kissing her again.
Alice gasped softly as Seth kissed her, not expecting the sudden contact.
((Awz. Yea, I`m hyperrrrrrr))
((Really? Why don't you go eat some of that chocolate?))
He wanted to laugh at her being surprised, but he didn't want to ruin it. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her.
((You`re mean!!! That is NOT fair!!! Someone told me good luck. You don`t tell me good luck unless you want me to fail at whatever I`m doing. Plus I don`t have any chocolate.))
Alice smiled and raised her hands to his shoulders.
((HAHA))
Seth felt so good. Blissful. Nothing could go wrong. He was in love and had the girl of his dreams.
((YOU ARE MEAN!!!))
Alice`s head was perfectly clear. So clear, in fact that she was only thinking about Seth. She suddenly had to pull away, a frenzy of giggles emerging from her lips.
Seth had to laugh too. He couldn't help it. He laughed until he couldn't breathe.
Alice giggled uncontrolably, and since she didn`t need to breathe, she didn`t. After a couple minutes, she was able to speak, but was still giggling. "I... have no idea... why I`m laughing." She whispered.
"It's alright. It feels good to laugh." He said once he got his breath back.
Alice finally stopped laughing, but had a large smile. She leaned forward and placed her hand over his. "?I`m sorry." She apologized.
"Why are you sorry?" He asked.
"I love seeing you smile."
Alice`s grin turned slightly shy. "But I ruined the moment." She replied.
He smiled.
"You didn't ruin anything. This moment is perfect just being here with you."
Alice`s smile grew again, and her hand twitched over his. She didn`t think she deserved him, she had done too much bad in her life to be with someone like him. But sitting here, so close to him felt... right.
He pulled her close and hugged her.
((Yay 1 liners!!))
((Lol. Yea, I kinda noticed that my posts were about... four times as long as yours.))
Alice shyly wrapped her arms around him. He again felt hot in her cold arms.
((I'm lacking the creativity right now. I'm pooped.))
"So...Miss Alice...." Seth whispered.
"What shall we discuss now?"
Alice pulled away to look at Seth questioningly. "I didn`t know we were discussing anything at the moment." She replied in a very buisiness-like tone.
He chuckled lightly.
"Well!" He said turning his head to look away from her. Then he looked back at her. "I figured that maybe you wanted to talk more rather than me kissing you. But hey, I'm fine with it." He said, and kissed her quickly on the lips. Then he laughed again.
Alice smiled and kissed Seth back just as quickly. "I don`t mind." She insisted. "I`ve done practically everythign you could do in the world; what would you like to do?"
((I thought he was taking it slow?))
((He's a guy. Guys never keep to their word. Or forget. Haha. Don't worry. No marriage proposals or sex. lol.))
"Hmm...lets play tag!" He said sarcastically.
((I was just trying to make a weak point. =P Chocolate.))
Alice grinned mischeviously. "Uh, I think I would beat you." She reminded.
"Doubt it." Said Seth. While she was indeed a vampire, Seth as his wolf animagus was very agile.
Alice was no longer sitting across from Seth. In just a fraction of a second, she was behind him, a hand on his shoulder. "While you can indeed run quickly as your animagus, I can still go faster." Again, she sat sitting across from Seth, exactly as she had been before she moved except her eyes were brighter.
Seth smirked. He decided to just go along with it. "Alright. You win."
Alice could tell that Seth was just saying what he said, he didn`t really believe it. "If you really don`t think I`m all that fast, why don`t you prove you`re faster?" She challenged.
Seth shook his head.
"No. That's alright." He said smiling.
((THANK YOU!!!!))
Alice grinned. "That`s what I thought." She teased in a low voice, she almost hoped he wouldn`t hear.
