Play It Again

For @Sachiko

---

The man moved as a leisurely pace through the area, sniffing the air as he went. The land around him was new and interesting, something he wanted to enjoy. The air was crisp and warm, though the stones and moss he stepped across held the faint cold from the mountains. It was a really beautiful day out and as the sun started to set from the sky, he could feel the light chill that the night brought. He would hop over the thorn bushes, not wanting to get caught in them as he knew that wouldn't be a fun thing to do today. 

The rolling mountains in the distance made him want to explore even more, though he did see the tree line not far from him. Should he try out the mountains or the forest? Both had their possible downsides, like mountain lions and possible falls in the mountains; to bears and falling trees in the forest. But he didn't seem to matter, danger wasn't something he was really scared of and liked to risk it a little to live. 

So, he trekked on, going between the two for a moment as he relished in the more open area he had found himself in. This place had all the new scents that he wanted to try out and explore.

Every so often she would break free from the mountains to get a taste of freedom once more - the young woman didn’t detest Vanderfell or Shiroshika and their inhabitants, but things were a little on the… bleak side. Understandably so after all they had gone through. Though Sachiko was nervous every time she would strike out on her own, she would avoid the tundra where Kuhn and Valmua seemed to roam more than anywhere and chose to head south.

To see the world and forget their worries for just a little while. To live her life as she was still young and refused to waste her early years hiding, crying, and regretting anything at all.

What she found this time was a large mountainous thingy. Moss and rocks scattered al around with some strange looking rabbit things hoping around. As well as someone larger than they were catching her eye.

It seemed that she was at most peace in the comforts of the male gaze. Of their attention helping her to forget just how awful and strange this and their last world had been. “Have you ever seen creatures like these before?” She’d walk up to him, bright and wide eyed. “They look like rabbits almost.”

He had been taking in the scenery, watching everything with a soft smile on his face. He enjoyed nature and always loved to be outside. He had heard someone walk up to him, though he wasn't necessarily on guard. For the most part, he wasn't one to fight and would only really defend himself and his partner, which he didn't have as of yet. Ears swiveled towards her as she approached, finally tearing his eyes from the scenery around him as she spoke. For a moment, his eyes lingered on her frame, enjoying how she looked before finally speaking, a soft smile on his lips. 

"Well 'ello der sweetheart." He would glance back over at the creatures that scurried around near them. "Honestly, I can't say I 'ave. Dey do sure look tasty doe." His eyes would glance back over at her, his body relaxing slightly in presence of the beautiful woman. He wasn't one to try and look larger or bigger than he was in order to impress others. He like others for how they were and assumed others would like him the same way. 

"Da name's Vincent. Vincent Ryder, 'nd who are ya pertty?" His accent was thick and gruff, something that didn't seem to bother him. He hardly even noticed his own accent half the time. However, it always seemed to be a talking point for others.

He was easily roughly around twice her age. Not too uncommon for a girl who had just reached adulthood herself but it was still something that delighted her to draw in the attention of someone who was much older than herself. More experienced. Rugged and charming. He even called her sweetheart.

“Sachiko Sakichi. My mother gave me the name meaning child of bliss.” She showed off a little as if wanting to live up to those expectations in his eyes. She promised bliss. Joy, euphoria, peace - it was what she sought. What she wanted him to remember her by. Nothing but a charming little lady who came by and brought joy whever she went, even if it wasn't how she felt in the moment. Their joy would bring her some in exchange; at least that is what she hoped would come from it.

“Do you think their feet would also bring us good luck?” The thought made Sachiko titter. Maybe she could collect a few and pass them around Shiroshika members to help bring them good luck after all these tragedies and troubles kept coming their way.

The man was content, happy that she chose to spend her time with him. He could tell that she was from a pack, but seemed to not mind taking the time to speak to a loner. She was even nice too, what a wonderful time this would be. Her name made him smile, moving slightly as he inched closer to her, though ready to back away if she told him to. "Das a wonderful name sweetheart. I tink it suits ya well." It was clear he was flirting, but regardless, he was also being nice in general. 

Turning his head to the creatures around them, he would chuckle slightly at her question, shrugging slightly as he glanced back at her, his eyes shining. "Dere's only one way to find out. Would ya like to hunt together ma lady?" He would wait to see what she would say, not moving to hunt just yet. He would wait to see if she wanted to join him. After all, what good was a hunt without a friend?

The man moved in closer and her heart fluttered, not only welcoming his presence but offering a small smile at his closeness. Yearning for a certain closeness she was unfamiliar with. The desire to be yearned. Wanted, burned brightly. “Oh Vincent, you're too kind~” Putting an extra cadence into his name, she clung to his initial flirting and flung it back at him as carefully crafted as she could come up with. After all, she was still so young, the art of flirting was still rather new and she could only go on what she saw from a distance a couple of times before.

From the brief and short stories told to her by her mother before she vanished too.

“We could.” Shrugging, the girl tried to keep things casual even if her heart pounded ferociously in her chest. How did other women make it look so easy? She was so incredibly nervous it made her head spin! This time it was her turn to move forward, to inch her way closer to the man but pause only momentarily as though to give him a moment to soak in her presence before walking past. Bumping him lightly with her hip in a teasing manner.

“How do you suppose we start?” Tossing a provocative glance over her shoulder, he invited him to come with her or make a move.

He absolutely love flirting with women, more so when they seemed to throw it back at him in kind. That just made his day, but he wasn't going to show that he was that interested for fear of running her off. The way she spoke his name had him holding back a deep growl, though not one of anger, that was for certain. Instead, he turned his attention to the creatures in front of him. 

That is, until she sauntered over to him, pushing his self control to the brink, but he continued to remind himself that he was a gentleman and wouldn't take advantage of the girl. Well not unless she asked him to. But that was something else entirely. Even as his said that, the hip bump pushed him slightly over the edge and he reached out to gently nip at her back end, a clear sign that he was certainly interested. 

As she asked how to start, he spoke up, voice gruff as he tried to push away he want of her. "Now dat all depends on if you're interested in huntin still." He spoke softly before clearing his throat, tearing his eyes away from her to look at the prey. "If ya take da first pounce, I'll follow behind." He tried so hard to keep his mind from going elsewhere, a visible strain.

If only she knew just what kind of game she was playing here. How hot the fire could burn if she didn't have herself under control. How not everyone would take it so kindly to be flirted with so casually - but it didn't cross her mind. Vincent seemed too nice to be dangerous. Too playful as what she was picking up from him, is that he was equally willing to play this little game of cat and mouse with her.

To give her that companionship she wanted so badly for all the wrong reasons.

She could see the look in his eyes before turning them away to something else far away; and in response she smiled. Tail swaying slowly at her hocks with a light curl at the tip. “I think it's you who are a little distracted, Vincent.” It was clear she wouldn't make the first move.

No. She was too shy. Too inexperienced. She wanted him to make the first move. He already desired her, that much she could see. Now all she had to do was see if he was willing to take the bite of her forbidden fruit or if he was too much of a gentleman to just take the dive without any further romancing.

Cheekily she smiled over her shoulder before turning back, striding forward once more and letting her tail sway in an inviting gesture.

His willpower was hanging on by a singular thread and with every moment he watched her, that thread continued to fray ever so slightly. He groaned slightly as she spoke up, all thoughts of the rabbit things earlier was gone, now all he cared about hunting was her. Now though, he had to make a choice, a rather important one. Would he continue to be a gentleman and not push her to do something that she may regret later, or did he let his wants and needs to the talking, showing her what she was getting herself into. At first, he thought that he would just continue keeping his cool, taking a deep breath to stabilize himself. 

That is until she swayed her towards him in such a way that the last thread snapped right then and there. Standing himself up fully, he would stalk towards her, eyes full of need and he would attempt to slowly push her down. Even as he made the first move, he made sure to do so slowly, giving her a chance to stop him if she didn't want this. However, it was clear that within a few minutes, she wasn't going to be able to take it back. 

He seemed to lose his words and fell silent, duel colored eyes watching her closely, pressing his body against hers as he waited to see if she would give him the go ahead, or stop him right here and now.

Being nervous was natural. It was unknown territory she was stepping into, but she felt confident. Confident that this is what she wanted, even if it was quite possibly a mistake. One that would lead to many others until finally it all caught up to her.

But this was okay. This was natural.

She was a young woman now and could make her own decisions on what to do with her body. She had no parents after all to teach her when the time was right, the draw backs to it all other than just you know, the usual schtick. Unwanted pregnancy. That was it right?

And she wasn't going to get pregnant, no, she was certain about that. How was she certain? Don't know, but she was.

The man moved slowly, enveloping her with his strong body.

There was no pushing him away or regrets, the girl's decision was made. She wanted this; and braced for what was to come. Pushing against him with her own body, spine curling against him.

The man waited for a long, agonizing moment, wondering if she would back out, realizing what she was doing. But, that never came and instead, she let him continue and that's exactly what he did. Using his body, he would push her down, a soft growl of need escaping him as he did so. He knew that she was in a pack, but he could only hope that he wouldn't have an angry pack breaking down his door tomorrow. Well, that was a problem for future him, not present him. Her body felt perfect against his, something that he longed for and finally was able to get. He had come all this way, he certainly wasn't going to mess it up now.

With a content sigh, the man would move his weight off of her, offering her relief from his weight, duel eyes watching her closely. He briefly wondered if she was going to yell and scream at him now, or may go crying to her pack. Or, maybe she would just leave and never speak to him again. Regardless of what she did though, he would remain where he was, moving to lay down beside her, offering her a moment to relax against him if she so choose to take it.

The feeling was intense for a moment. Almost painful really which was hard to keep herself from screaming out to tell him to stop - but soon enough as she relaxed, things went along more smoothly. Soon enough the action was done, his weight was off of her and her legs felt like jelly. Thinking to herself how she could get used to this and completely oblivious to the repercussions of such actions.

It was fun, that's all it was.

Of course, she took the invitation to lay next to him - she desired attention after all, and his was still hers to enjoy for a little while longer. Though she had no intention of creating a more long-term relationship with him more than maybe a few physical interactions like this, she saw no problem in it. “I think I'm a little hungry now.” Breaking the silence, not wanting things to be awkward, she'd comment on that little empty feeling that dug itself into her gut.

Was it because this action of theirs was empty on her end other than the desire to be touched? Or was she truly hungry after all that? It was hard to tell. But she giggled at her own comment anyway. Blissfully ignoring anything else than just the now.
