noé, resort

[irresponsibly]

[ After Gaku had talked to Lucia about the resort, she resolved to bring it up with Noé; she had a feeling he'd agree to it, since it seems like the perfect date spot. They missed out on the cruise, so this felt like a great alternative to the ship, and she makes sure to get a little dressed up for the occasion.

Lucia has on a comfy dress and boots, which will actually be coming off shortly, given that they're considering the shared bath. She's red in the face as she thinks about it, and she's holding onto Noé's hand, squeezing it. It's something she'd like to experience with him, there's no question, but she has to get over her nerves first.

She looks up at him, cheeks burning. ]

Y-you're sure you're okay with this, right?

[archivists]

I am.

[ His tone is gentle, yet there's a certain firmness to his voice as well. While confessing his love to Lucia was only the first step and there's still so many things left to discover about her and himself, Noé is always eager to try new things as long as Lucia is comfortable with doing it as well. ]

Are you anxious because we're going to be naked?

[ You can always count on Noé to be painfully straightforward. At least, he does realize that he's saying something, well, unusual because a bright blush spreads across his cheeks. ]

I can go first and I'll make sure to close my eyes before you go in.

[irresponsibly]

A-a little, but...it's okay, if you see. I would not have wanted to do this if I wasn't okay with it.

[ And she doesn't mean anything scandalous by that. She wants him to know how much she trusts him.

She turns a deep shade of red. ]

I may need help taking off my dress, anyway...

[archivists]

Alright.

[ Noé isn't sure if a soft kiss on the lips will help her calm down or do exactly the opposite, but he goes for it anyway. ]

I'll help, don't worry. [ He chuckles. ] Now my heart is beating really fast, too.

[irresponsibly]

M-mine, too.

[ She gives him a nervous little grin. She moves to pull the band out of her hair, and lets it cascade down her back. Then, she moves some of it out of the way and steps in front of him. There's a small clasp near her neck. ]

Ah...could you help me unhook that?

hits random and this icon appears

[archivists]

[ Noé doesn't realize that he's held his breath for a little while mesmerized by Lucia's hair gracefully cascading down her back. Rather than giving his response right away, Noé just stands there, his eyes fixed on her. ]

Ah—Y-Yes, of course.

[ When he steps in closer, Noé is a little flustered. The clasp isn't too much of a challenge, but it becomes apparent that holding himself back from kissing the nape of her neck when it's exposed like that can be considered one. Noé gives into the temptation, pressing a few kisses against her smooth skin and sighs softly. ]

It's hard to look away...

what a beautiful boy

[irresponsibly]

[ Lucia shivers when his lips touch the back of her neck. The gentleness of it all leaves her feeling weak in the knees. She lets out a quiet breath and moves to slide the sleeves off of her shoulders.

She stops halfway, back still facing Noé. ]

I'm...I'm going to remove this, okay? If you need to close your eyes, or something...

[archivists]

I hope you won't mind, but... I'm not closing my eyes.

[ First of all, he really might not be able to just look away. Announcing that makes his cheeks feel much warmer, even though he's pretty sure about what he wants to do. Noé takes one step back to give her more space while he starts unbuttoning his own shirt slowly. ]

[irresponsibly]

[ Lucia nods and swallows, hard, before she slips off her dress, leaving her in her undergarments. Her bra is next, and she reaches around to unclasp it before letting it drop to the ground.

She puts her arms over her chest, embarrassed, as she turns to face him. She's still wearing her panties. ]

Do you need help?

[archivists]

Ah, no... I'm fine.

[ He just got... distracted. But he can't make Lucia wait, can he? Noé casts his eyes down and focuses solely on removing his shirt. Since he's on a roll, he hastily removes is pants and socks as well, leaving him just in underpants. Sorry if you expected some sexy underwear, Lucia. It's just another pair of pants. ]

Should I go first?

[irresponsibly]

[ She doesn't mind at all, and she looks away, cheeks red. Noé is so handsome, she can't handle it. ]

Sure. I won't stare, I promise.

yelan, cozy kitchen

[irresponsibly]

[ There's a scent that fills the air in town square on one particular afternoon in Autumn. The scent is strong, hot when it hits one's nose and could potentially drive one to tears with how much it stings. There's a monstrosity being made inside of the Cozy Kitchen restaurant, making it not so cozy after all, but should Yelan peek inside...she'll see a redhead at the stove, cooking something that looks red.

Lucia, the chef, is sniffling as she makes it, but she's also staring at it quite intently. Under her breath, she mutters something about it not being spicy enough.

Intimidating, isn't it? Maybe to some, but for others, it's an invitation. ]

[yanshang]

[ she definitely knows that smell.

it tickles her nose and while most people would probably sneeze the moment it hits their sinuses and walk away from such an offensive scent, yelan finds herself trailing toward the source of the smell. the last time she's had smelled something similar was when xiangling accidentally dumped a little too many jueyun chili into her noodle dish and no one else wanted to eat it.

she waves amicably at some of the people in the restaurant, gesturing at the kitchen to ask what's cooking. it's only after she gets a headshake that she decides to take a peek inside, curious. ]

Need any help?

[ after all, she was told that no one else could stand it. ]

[irresponsibly]

Ah, welcome!

[ A new customer, a new face. She realizes that what she's doing right now is ridiculous, but if this lady was drawn into the restaurant regardless of the spice, then surely she must be unperturbed...

Lucia nods at Yelan and gestures at her to come in. ]

I-if you don't mind spice, I could use a taste tester...

noe, birthday!!

[irresponsibly]

[ Lucia and Noé are in no rush to wake up, but Lucia finds herself waking up earlier than usual, eager to start the day with her plans for his birthday. He's still asleep by the time she opens her eyes, though, and she's content to let him nap for a while longer.

She stays in bed, next to him, and places her hand on his back to draw comfortable little circles on it. Lucia's fine with doing this for a while, but eventually, he has to wake up. They have a fun day ahead of them, after all.

So, she decides to lean in and press a gentle kiss to his cheek. ]

Noé. [ Another one to his nose. ] It's time to wake up. [ She laughs softly, and gives him another one on his forehead. ]

[archivists]

[ When Lucia scoots closer, there's absolutely no reaction from him. Drawing the little circles on his back doesn't rouse him from is deep slumber either, but the kiss does. By the time Lucia leans in to give him the forehead kiss, Noé is more or less awake, but keeps his eyes closed. ]

Mmmm... a few more minutes...

[irresponsibly]

Okay, sure. Since you're the birthday boy and all...

[ She laughs quietly before pressing her lips to the corner of his mouth. ]

Sleep well, okay?

[archivists]

[ Noé can't remain still for too long in this situation—Lucia's lips on his feel just too nice, after all. His hand rests on her nape, trying to keep her from pulling away when his eyes flutter open. ]

I wouldn't want to miss this, though...

[ Noé flashes her a wide smile before catching her lips in a kiss. ]

[irresponsibly]

[ Her heart flutters when he kisses her, and she returns it, moving her hand to rest it over his chest. She's grinning from ear to ear when she pulls away, and she raises that same hand to lightly poke his nose. ]

There's plenty more where that came from, don't worry. Are you excited for today? I have a ton of kisses saved for you.

[archivists]

I am very excited.

[ It might be his birthday, but every single day spent together with Lucia has been nothing else but exciting. At this point, he's pretty sure that he's in the right place with the right person. ]

I'll gladly accept them all. I might steal a few kisses from you nonetheless.

[irresponsibly]

Hey, it's not stealing if they're all for you, anyway.

[ She laughs softly before she leans in to press her lips to his again. The kiss is soft and gentle, and she cups his cheek just before she pulls back. Lucia offers him a wide smile, one that's brighter than the sun. ]

Happy birthday, Noé. Thank you, for everything. I'm the luckiest girl alive.

[archivists]

[ Lucia's bright smile makes a pleasant warmth bubble up in his chest and helps him realize that he's already got the best gift of all—the time he gets to spend with Lucia. ]

I'm the luckiest vampire alive thanks to you, then. [ Rather than going for another kiss on the lips, Noé starts trailing kisses along her jawline. ] I love you, Lucia.

[irresponsibly]

[ Her eyes flutter shut the moment his lips press against her jaw. She lets out a quiet, content sigh as she pulls him a little closer. She's never felt so loved and appreciated, until she met Noé. Now...she doesn't want to let him go. ]

I love you, too. ... Feels nice, by the way.

[archivists]

I wouldn't mind staying like this for the rest of the day...

[ Showering Lucia with affection for hours sounds like a perfect way to spend his birthday, actually. Noé tilts his head to plant some kisses over her neck too, his lips curling into a smile everytime his lips brush over her soft skin. ]

[irresponsibly]

H-hey... Aren't I supposed to be spoiling you?

[ She says this, and yet she doesn't stop him or pull away. His kisses send a shiver down her spine, and her neck is apparently an area she didn't realize was so sensitive. Lucia lets out an audible sigh and gently combs her fingers through his hair. ]
