A month after Nania and the group moved into Evelyn's Tavern. Seems Evelyn's promise was true. Nania met so many people she unfortunately doesn't remember everyone's names. Those who now knelt to Nania and promised their swords to her quickly started wearing her emblem.
Nania spent her free time in her room working on a new sewing project. She was a little rusty as she has not worked on sewing anything for 11 years. Nania looks up as she hears the door to her room open and Atreus walks in. He instantly takes off his helmet and then looks at her lap noticing the green fabric.
"Trying to make yourself busy?" Atreus asks as he strides over to Nania's side and kneels on the floor next to her.
"Yeah. Today is not a good day for me." She sighs as she lightly places the sewing needle down and the right corner of her mouth raises slightly as she fights back some tears.
Atreus raises his hand to cup her face and uses his thumb to wipe away her tears that slowly form in her eyes. He gives her a sweet smile and then places his forehead onto hers.
"Whatever is troubling you, we will get through it. You dont have to talk about it if you dont want to." Atreus' voice is low but reassuring. Nania smiles as she raises her head and kisses his forehead.
"Its ok... Today just happens to be the 11 year anniversary of my oldest brothers passing." She then lowers her head to place her forehead back onto his.
His head was larger than hers so his nose lightly touches her lips. Nania raises one of her hands and places it on the back of his neck. She then opens her eyes and looks up and notices he just opened his eyes too. His gaze catches hers and her heart leaps in her chest.
Atreus notices her quickened pulse and then moves away slightly. Nania smiles and then goes back to sewing.
"I use to sew him things all of the time. So sewing kind of keeps me calm around this time of year, when I have a moment. I thought you may like this!" She holds up the green fabric and its a cape with her emblem hand sewn on it.
Atreus' eyes widen full of surprise as the corner of his mouth curves up into a smile. He turns around while still kneeling down and unhooks his old cape so Nania can hook the new one.
As he stands up and a slight breeze comes in from the window he looks over his shoulder and down at Nania with a smile on his face as the wind lightly moves his cape back a little.
A light blush forms over Nania's face as she stands up and wraps her arms around Atreus' torso. Her face settles in the middle of his back as she starts to sniffle.
Atreus slowly turns around and wraps his arms around her body holding her close. He can feel her body start to tremble. He lightly places his his hand on her chin and lifts her head to look at him. He cups her cheek and runs his thumb over the corner of her eyes to wipe away the tears.
Nania looks into his eyes and her heart starts beating faster as she stares into the depths of those scarlet red eyes. She slowly moves her hands from around his torso to plat on his chest then as her gaze moves from his eyes to his mouth she starts pushing up on her toes and then her mouth meets his and she pulls him into a deep passionate kiss.
Atreus brings one hand up to the back of her neck while the other stays flat on the small of her back as he returns the kiss. Nania slightly opens her mouth and licks his lips to request entry. He smiles greedily as he opens his mouth to allow her tongue entry and slowly slides his hand into her hair and grabs a fist full of her hair.
Nania moans a little into his mouth as their tongues dance together between each others mouths. Atreus groans as he pulls her closer and he lightly nips at her bottom lip. His hand that is on her back reaches down and grabs onto her thigh and pulls her legs to wrap around his waist.
Nania's heart starts to pound as she pulls her face away slowly and looks into his eyes. Her breath turns into ragged pants as she tries to focus her vision on his face through the pure blur of lust.
"Nania..." Atreus' voice was at a low whine. "Are you sure about this?" He spoke between heavy breaths and stared into her eyes. His gaze lowering to her lips and then back into her eyes.
Nania's hands comb through Atreus' mohawk and one slowly moves down to cup his face and the other holds the back of his neck. Nania slowly nodded and she then pushes her lips to his and her hips roll onto his hips. Atreus' body stiffens as he feels her body grind upon his.
Atreus walks backwards, the back of his knees hitting the edge of the bed causing him to sit. He pulls Nania closer onto his lap and places one hand on the middle of her back and her thigh. Nania moans in their kiss as she starts to grind a little more onto his lap, pushing her chest onto his.
Atreus pulls back from the kiss as he places his hand upon her mouth and he sighs.
"I am sorry Nania. I think its a bit early for us." Atreus speaks low but the sound of regret in his voice. A light whimper comes from Nania's throat as she lowers her head onto his chest and she sighs.
"You are right... I... I don't know what... What was coming over me." Nania takes a deep breath keeping her focus down and her forehead on Atreus' chest feeling his heart beat fast as if he is still nervous.
After sitting there for a little bit, Nania gently slides off of his lap and then walks over to the door to the bathing chamber of the room. She stops at the doorway and looks over her shoulder as Atreus starts to stand up from the bed.
"I am sorry Atreus." Nania turns into the room and then shuts the door behind her. She leans against the door and slides down to the ground covering her now red face.
