Nightwing - CLOSED

Chapter 7

AUTHOR'S NOTE: 

There will be an... intimate scene, but it won't actually say/show anything. It'll cut off before they go at it. So, be warned! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As thunder cracked in the distance, Lium was opening his front door. Rain glared daggers at him as he held it open for her. She didn't move a muscle. In a blink of an eye, he wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled her against him. Gasping, Rain pulled her arms in, in front of her chest. Lium shuffled the few steps it took to get inside and closed the door with his hip. He stared at her, still holding her. He's so warm... Rain sighed slightly, and accidentally thought alloud, "How do you make me feel like this?" Lium smiled. "Like what?" And pressed his forehead against hers.

Rain blushed. "Oh... Uh nothing." She hurriedly replied. Lium broadened his smile and turned around to press Rain against the bare wall. "Like this?" he laughed. Rain nodded embarrassed. "Yes," she whispered, "Like I'm a hostage one minute, and I want to screw you another." Lium kissed her forehead and nonchalantly replied, "I like both. But I'd like to choose the second at the moment." Rain's eyes widened and she blushed. My God... Even her feminist was bewildered. "You're a man with many personalities, Mr. Hensin." Lium frowned with mock sadness. "Is that bad?" he pouted. "I like that." Rain winked at him and giggled.

Lium grinned slyly, and pressed his lips against hers. Again, his tongue entered her mouth. Rain slid her hands around his neck and arched her back to press their bodies together. After a few seconds, he broke away, panting. "Second time, my dear." Rain popped open her eyes and gasped. "That wasn't a dream?" She yelled at him. Lium was looking at her lips. "I'll explain that later." His voice was filled with lust, and he pressed his lips against hers once again. He lifted her up and made her wrap her legs around him.

Lightning filled the hallway, and before the roll of thunder ended, they were in his room. Rain let a chuckle slip from her lips as she smiled against his. "How do you do that...?" she breathed. "All in good time, Miss Withersteam." He set her down on his bed. Rain looked at him slyly and scooted backwards so she was in the middle of the pillows. Lium crawled on, too, and gently pushed Rain so they were laying down. He didn't bother holding up his weight, and Rain liked having his body pressure on her.

"Wait, um, Lium?" She worriedly got his slight attention as he slowly pulled at the hem of her tank top. "Hmmm?" He didn't look up at her. "Um... I'm a virgin..." This got his attention. He furrowed his eyebrows, confused. "What?" He sat up quickly, looking around awkwardly. Regretting that she told him, she quickly propped herself up on her elbows. Déjà vú... "Nobody was really interested in me... So I'm a... uh, a virgin..." Lium looked at her and sighed. He rubbed his temples, as if stressed.

Angered at his reaction, Rain scowled. "Excuse me for giving you a heads up before I get blood all over your sheets!" she hissed at him. He raised his eyebrows slightly at her statement. He was speechless. Rain threw her legs over the edge of the bed, putting her back to Lium. "Most guys would jump at the chance to screw over a virgin, then leave her on the streets..." Rain sighed and tried to wipe away the tears that were pooling in her eyes. She heard Lium shift in the bed towards her, and quickly stood.

"C'mon, Rain, I'm sorry... Just nobody was... one... when I was with them." Lium's tone was awkward, and full of pity. Rain sighed, put her forehead in her hand, and shook her head. She turned her head just enough to peer at Lium through her fingers. He was sitting with his legs loosely crossed. His face was plastered with sorrow. She took in a deep breath and sat back down, turning around so she could look at Lium. "Sorry I overreacted...." she told him, "...can we continue?" She looked at her hands as she said this and felt her face heat up thoroughly. Lium slowly leaned forward and kissed her, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Thank you for telling me, Rain." he whispered to her. Rain slowly closed her eyes and leaned back, putting her head on the pillow. Lium began to kiss his way along her neck. When he reached her collar bone, he kissed the indentions of her skin it caused. "You're so skinny..." he murmured. Rain chuckled and retorted, "Maybe because you've caused me a lot of stress these past two days." Lium replied by ripping her shirt down the front. Rain fought her instinct to cover herself up, because she doesn't sleep with a bra on, and she was still in her P.J.'s. Lium cocked an eyebrow at her and commented with a wink, "Very nice." then he reached for her pants.

Rain woke with a very warm wrapped around her. Her left hand was holding its hand, so she used her right one to wipe the sleep out of her eyes. When she was able to open her eyes, she didn't recognize where she was, and took in a quick breath in shock. Where the hell am- ...oh Her heart beat slowed as she recalled last night's events. He had ripped up her clothes. Including my panties... She was completely naked, but Lium wasn't, so she felt. There was at least some kind of clothe in between them, though it could just be the sheets.

Rain felt Lium stir, probably woken because of Rain's sharp intake of air. He lifted his head and softly kissed her hair behind her ear. "Good morning, or should I say..." he checked the alarm clock with a built in radio that was on his dresser. That's new. "Good evening." Lium chuckled. /Holy hell! What?/ Rain looked at the large, blue numbers shining from across the room. It's only 7:09? Rain snorted lightly. She rubbed her face, though keeping her hand in his. "Feels like I've been sleeping all night. And I'm tired enough to do just that!" she grumbled. "I have that effect on girls." Lium informed smugly. Rain elbowed him.

"Hey, watch it, would you?" Rain could feel him smile against the top of her head. She was all kinds of snuggled up with him. To break free of the heat he was emitting, Rain turned around, keeping her right arm firm against the sheets, so it wouldn't show anything off. She had let go of his hand, so she tucked her left arm under the covers, wincing as she bore her weight on it. Lium had noticed and was looking at where her left arm was, his eyes drooping slightly. He frowned.

Now that Rain could see him, her glowing, ice colored eyes providing some light, she saw that Lium had a small amount of chest hair, and a couple of tattoos of his own. But she mostly liked the look of his abs being bare. She averted her eyes quickly, her face heating up once again. He reached his hand up to her cheek, making his finger pads lightly brush against her skin. She unconsciously slapped it away, as if shooing away a pesky fly. "It tickles..." she murmured after realizing her mistake. Lium grinned, and did it again, this time on her neck. She giggled and pressed her shoulder against her ear, try to squish his hand away.

"Stop it!" she laughed at him as he did it along her arm. When he continued to tickle her arm, she ripped the sheets away from him, wrapped it around herself tightly, and ran to the door. She only got to the end of the hallway, when Lium popped up in front of her and grabbed her around her waist, picking her up. She laughed as he squeezed her slightly. "How do you do that?" she giggled curiously. Lium's grin dropped as his face turned serious. He set her down and furrowed his eyebrows at her. Confused, Rain began to rub her tattoo nervously, still holding onto her dress of sheets. It was still gray outside, but it wasn't raining anymore.

"What?" she asked after a long time of silence. "Come here. I'll tell you." he sounded like he'd rather not talk about it. Swiftly he stalked back towards his room. Rain gathered the sheets in her hand so she could walk better. She slowly followed him, deep in thought about what he'll tell her. Why did he get so serious so quickly? What's so bad about him? When she got into his room, she saw that he had put some jeans on, and was sitting on the bench. She joined him.

"Now, please don't ask questions until I ask." Rain nodded. Lium took in a deep breath and began. "I was born on September 15th, 1496..."
