IVORY

Genesis and Karl walk inside the Factory, with their things in hand
Oddly he hasn’t taken his hand off of the middle of her back
Leading her all the way back to his room
His hand only slipped off of her back to go to his door, he opens it and pushes it open
Standing to the side so she can walk in first
A soft smile crosses her face as she walks inside holding the bags in her hands once she already felt bad
She goes over and drops the bags into a vacant corner out of the way
Karl goes over to his desk beside his closet, before placing the small box on top of his desk
The sun had just set now, so he turns on the lights in his room
He looks over at her
“You can use my closet, you know… There’s not really any other rooms in the Factory that is in a livable condition yet other than mine.” He trailed off
Genesis chuckles
“So that means I’ll be sleeping here, huh?”
“Yes. It’s fine though I can move a couch in here that I can sleep on-”
Genesis turns towards him before smiling, she places her hands on her hips
“If you're comfortable with it you can sleep on your bed with me. As long as you don’t get any ideas, I don’t give a damn either.” She shrugs softly
Karl grins and his eyes gleam with mischief
“But what if I do-”
“Then you're being kicked to the floor.” She mimics his grin and his look of mischief
Karl couldn’t help but laugh
“Alright, alright. You have yourself a deal.”
“Good.” She walks over to the chair in front of the window she was sitting in earlier
She takes off her new bow from her back, gently propping it up against the chair
Her fingers go to the strings of her cloak, but Karl beats her to it
He pulls the strings, the cloak coming undone
The cloak starts to drop to the floor but he catches it in his hands before reaching around her and setting it on the top of the chair
Genesis’ mouth is almost hanging open at the bold action of him
He takes it farther this time, his hand reaching past her and up to her quivers clip
He unclips it, catching the quiver as it fell from her back
“Planning to undress me too?” She snarkly sasses him
Karl smirks and looks at her
“If you ask, I wouldn’t hesitate.” Her heart started drumming out of her damn chest, her body felt so hot. She could just hear the smirk in his voice, was he serious? Absolutely
She remembers what Roselyn told her inside the bar
“Only a man in love looks at you like that.”
Impossible
You can’t fall in love with someone within a day can you?
Surely
That’s not possible
Right?
She quickly has a scoff leave her lips
“Unfortunately for you, I’m not interested.” Genesis replies, sass coating her words
Karl smirks

“Maybe eventually I can get you to change that stubborn mind of yours.”
“Well good luck.” She laughs softly, Karl grins before he moves away from her, heading to his closet
“Give me the bag of clothes, I’ll put them away.” She gives him a look after he said that
“There is lingerie in there too.”
“So? I watched you pick it out.” She could hear the smirk in his voice and she groans loudly
She doesn’t care honestly, her thighs and legs hurt so much from being mostly in a saddle today that she didn’t care
“Fine.” She grumbles, going over and grabbing the bag of clothes
She bring the bags to him and hands it to him
Karl takes the bags and she leaves the closet, she takes off his gloves and places them unto his desk
She starts getting hot so she takes off his brown leather jacket and heads over to him. Holding the jacket out to him, he looks at her then at the jacket just as he was putting her dresses away unto hangers
“Keep it, I don’t wear it much anyway. Plus it looks good on you.” Karl tells her making her chuckle
“Alright.” She walks out of the closet, going over to the chair across his room in front of the window
Placing the jacket on top of the chair with the furry blanket, and the cloak
Genesis looks down at the bow, she smiles softly before leaning down and picks it up carefully into her hands
She inspects her weapon closer
The opalescent metallic color to it she noticed may have been dyed or painted and polished on
She tests the weight, her brows furrow
“Karl? Is my bow made of metal?” She asks to him from the closet
He peeks his head out
“It should be…”
He attempts to snag it which he does, he holds out his hand and grabs unto the handle after he quickly stepped out of the closet
“The gold design is definitely metal, but the opalescent color looks dyed- obviously. But I don’t think the main part of the bow is made of metal.”
Karl inspects it closer, he knew metal when he saw it and the bright white of the bow didn’t appear to be metal
“I think it’s ivory, maybe just painted and polished so it appears more white.” He chuckles at the irony, and Genesis grins
“For real?”
“Yep, what a damn coincidence huh? Maybe Duke was right, this bow was made for you.” Karl sends the bow back towards Genesis slowly so she had no problem grabbing it
Karl heads back into his closet, he closes the door so he can dress in more comfortable clothes for bed
Genesis looks back down at the bow in her hands she smiles softly
She rests the bow on top of the armrests of the chair
She heads into the bathroom, checking on her clothes and sees that they’re dry now
She closes the bathroom door before taking off his clothes, setting them aside
Sliding her shoes out of the way to after she got them off of her feet
She puts on her comfy leggings, and her tank top and her cardigan, she grabs her shoes and walks out
She places her shoes out of the way, she grabs his clothes, setting them on the chair in front of his desk by the closet
Genesis walks over to his bed and sits down
His closet door opens, she looks up and she stiffens
Her eyes were so close to widening
He wore comfy, loose looking simple tan pants but that's the only thing he’s wearing
He’s topless
“Oh my god…” She thinks to herself as she admires his attractive as hell dad bod
Karl looks to her and he grins
“Like what you see, butterblume?” Him talking german is going to be the death of her she swears to everything
“Average.” She smirks, and he rolls his eyes he grumbles under his breath, all incoherent and she isn’t able to tell what he’s grumbling about
He goes to the box on his desk, he opens it taking out the two chem fluids
“Come on.” He softly tells her
That soft voice to…
Genesis stands up and follows him into the bathroom
“Hold your hands over the sink.” Karl instructs her, she nods and does as he says
He pops open the cork of one chem fluid and he leans over right at her side, he pours the liquid over her black and purple bruising around her wrists
The bruising instantly clears up just like magic, even the tenderness and pain was gone
Her mouth drops open, okay but that is so fucking cool
Karl laughs at her reaction
“Pretty cool isn’t it?” He asks her, his green eyes watch her closely
She nods
“Ya it really is.” She agrees with him, Genesis holds up her wrists inspecting her clear, pale skin, not even redness was left behind
Chem fluid really is something ain’t it?
Karl chuckles at her awe, he grabs a hand towel and gently takes her wrists before drying them off. Tossing the hand towel into the clothes basket afterwards
“We should go to bed, hopefully we can figure out a way to keep you entertained tomorrow.” Karl says, she looks over at him with a raised eyebrow. Reading her expression and he grins
“I’m an engineer, Liebling and a Lord working to take out his superior. Very busy man.” He walks out, he hugs the doorway his finger on the light switch
She slips past him out of the bathroom he turns off the light then leaves the door cracked open
“You take the right side.” He gestures towards his king bed, she nods before going over moving the covers aside so she could slip under the covers
He goes to the other side, getting underneath the covers
The brunette pulls the covers underneath her chin, she’s facing towards the bathroom
Karl rolls unto his side and faces her back
The lights all turn off and she closes her eyes and so does Karl
It didn’t take either of them long at all to fall asleep
