Since graduating from the Academy, life has been..interesting for Alisa, to say the least. She's been kept very busy, since she was upholding her promise to her mother on showing her the proper way to run the company, and it wasn't easy to put in those changes. Though it would have been a lot harder if she didn't have the support of those around her. But because of that, she hadn't been able to get time to get to visit Rean as much as she liked.

Translation: As much as she liked = every day. She did get to visit - or vice versa - at least on the weekend, and she talked to him almost every night thanks to the range on the ARCUS. Just as finished up for the night, she made her way up to the penthouse, glancing around to make sure she was alone (And you never know with Sharon) in order to take out her ARCUS once more and see if she could get a hold of Rean before bed. She was planning on seeing if he was in the area - alternatively, she was sure she could get away for a visit, if he wasn't busy.

Frankly she was not the only one who was starting to feel the pull, the yearning to make the very best they could of what little time they till had left together. So Rean allowed himself some liberties as well as he leaned closer, his nose gently burrying against her soft golden hair while his eyes closed with a blissful sigh from deep in his very being.

She can't help but smile feeling him lean closer, nuzzling a little closer herself. A perfect way end a perfect day, as far as she's concerned. She tilts her head a little to glance up at him, her breath catching in her throat - seeing such a peaceful expression on his face. Oh she wanted to see more of that - how long has it been since he's been so happy, so peaceful? Probably not in a long time. She reached up with a hand to gently brush her fingers against his cheek, admiring his face, almost in awe.

He feels the way her body nestles in closer but he doesn't pull away any and even the hand at his cheek doesn't make him open his eyes right away, instead pressing his cheek towards her fingertips a little more seeking more of that gentle reverent touch. If she only knew how much this was healing his worn soul.

If it was helping him, she couldn't be happier. She wanted to be able to send him off later with a smile, and that would be her hardest task - harder than any field study they've been on. But if she could remember these moments, that would surely give her assistance. .. That or make her break into tears on the platform.

She's glad he doesn't open his eyes right away, her thumb gently, reverently caressing his cheek as they swayed and danced from song to song with no sign of stopping. It might as well be all one long song, to her. Though he might be tipped off to her sneakiness when she leans up to sneak a soft, tender kiss from him while his guard was done.

It would be hard for him as well knowing he'd made her cry like that. There was no avoiding that heart ache unfortunately. Which was why he didn't allow himself to show he could feel what Alisa was doing and only slowly and gently opened his eyes when his lips were pressed to Alisa's.

A faint hum issued from his lips and he pulled her even closer as he almost hungrily pushed his lips to Alisa's in return.

That caught her a bit off guard, though she certainly wasn't pushing him away when he pulled her even closer. Quite the opposite really - though if he had partly made her swoon before, she swoons the rest of the way with the kiss, a soft answering hum slipping as her legs almost totally give out, buckling under her. Shame on you Rean, bad enough she's going to cry later, now you're making your girlfriend faint from swooning happiness.

He'll have to ask her to add it to his tab. After all Rean had plenty trouble holding back until now. But now he was here and had Alisa right there within reach. Close enough to hold and keep close as well.

"Flying was it? I get that feeling too just being near you~" He murmured softly

Gladly. She was also glad he had been holding her so close. Once she's got her footing again, she glanced at him with flushed cheeks, still a bit dazed, but she manages a soft laugh, "Flying... yeah, that's a perfect description for it." She murmured, dazedly, in just as soft a voice, a smile that betrayed just how hooked on him she was. "You're dangerous, Rean..." So dangerous, to be that addictive just being near him.

"Oh am I? Yet I don't get the feeling you want me to stop being this way." Maybe that dazed look in her eyes or the fact that he was definitely sustaining her upright no matter how he looked at it. Regardless it seemed the number he'd done on her had removed her ability to dance any longer.

Yeeeah, her legs were a bit too shaky to do any dancing for now- they were barely holding her weight. If he let go she would probably slump to the floor at this point. At his teasing comment, she smiled blissfully, shaking her head, ".. not on your life," she murmured dreamily, "I want you to keep being the way you are no matter what." Dangerously addictive side of him and all, as much for his sake as hers.

"for you, I'll try my best to do just that~" Rean answered softly before he stole another tender loving kiss from her lips. He then slowly brought them both to a stop before he nuzzles against her neck delibartely.

"Lets sit down, Shall we?"

Quite frankly, she was so warm and fuzzy from that swooning he could have suggested they learn to fly and jump out the windoiw and she wouldn't have batted an eye. "For you too." She murmured firmly, before making a soft meltyAlisa noise as she tilted her head to return the kiss, all but gurgling a soft purr at the deliberat nuzzle. "Mmmhmmm." He probably wasn't all that comfortable standing and holding her up like that after all.

She shook her head a little to try and clear up the dazed fuzziness and pulled back a bit, giving him a soft smile as she gripped his hand and lead him over to sit on the couch.

Rean smiled and gladly followed after Alisa. To be frank he would have had no problem in being the one to carry her over to the couch. Though unknown to Alisa, Rean was thinking of making that couch their final stop for the night, disregarding the notion of retreating back to their respective rooms.

Dang, she missed an opportunity there! But gasp, how devious. What if Sharon came home and found them snuggled up on the couch, sleeping in each other's arms!

Alisa padded over to the couch and with a sigh, seated herself, glancing over for Rean to join her. Though she was kind of debating getting up when he sat down, so that she could sit more comfortably and in his lap. "So what do you think for our first ...date?" yay she managed to say it. And yes, first. She intended on finding -- no, making time for many more.

In this instance, he could not care less if SHaron found them. He did not want to part from Alisa tonight. SO he would keep looking for excuses to stay with her right there. And as for claiming his lap for herself well it might help when he tugs her into place like that while looping his arms around her from behind while he rested his head atop her shoulder.

"Mmmm it made me realize what I have been really missing out on." He answered with low purr.

To be fair, knowing he would have to leave sometime tomorrow, Alisa didn't want to part from Rean either. And he surprises her once again, this time by reading her mind in what she wanted most.

That said s he squeaks a bit when he pulled her into his lap and seemed to trap her in place. "Ice cream...?" She asked with a teasing smile, shifting into a comfortable lounge as she nuzzled his temple.

Rean chuckled and snuggle up even closer to Alisa just soaking in her presence entirely while he held his beloved so comfortably it was clear he would not be letting go soon.

"Mmmm that too but mostly everything about the dates themselves~"

And yet Alisa still had no clue he had no intention of retiring to his own room. She could certainly tell he didn't plan on letting go but they still had cuddletime available to them.

She smiled at the response, nuzzling into him more with a soft sigh, "I can understand that." She brushed her lips against his temple and cheek, "I've certainly been missing you.. but I never knew just how much. Until tonight."

He was keeping his intent masked for now. Though likely not as well as he believed he was. For now though Rean was quite content to just keep things like this.

"Yeah. I missed heairng you at all even through the ARCUS but this just made me realize how much I've wanted to actually touch you and feel you like this~"

"It doesn't help that sometimes the connection on the ARCUS isn't the greatest...sometimes I can't even hear -" She stops, glancing at him again, a slow blush rising in her cheeks, "Rean..." That was pretty blatant! But she couldn't judge because she wanted the same - to hold him, to touch him and never part from him.

Yes it was blatant and in this instance he could not care less. It was spoken from the heart and hearing her cut off like that only prompted him to slowly lean forward to press those lips against the redness in her cheek.

She exhales softly at the tender kiss to her cheek, her surprised expression melting into a soft smile, slightly turning to wrap her arms around him and nuzzle his neck, "I feel the same way. All I want is to feel you hold me and never let go." She tightens her arms around him a little more, pressing her lips against his cheek lightly as well.

He can do that much for her tonight. Rean couldn't help it any other time but as long as they had time together he could do that much for her even if it would end up hurting them both.

"Then....stay with me tonight?"

And boy was it going to hurt them. Even so, she would embrace that pain, because the alternative - keeping her distance from him emotionally and physically - was impossible and unthinkable.

Her face grew even more red at the question, and her hesitation is more from the surprise and embarrassment than reluctance. When her brain reboots and she can process the question properly, she still blushes, but she gives him a slow, shy nod, "... I'll stay with you tonight." Because it'll be their last night together for a while.

Having her say yes lifted one of the biggest stones he had been carrying in the pit of his stomach since embracing the fact that yes he wanted to stay with her forever if it was possible.

"Thank you. Alisa." Rean murmured softly, much more gentle of a whisper than anything he'd said before.
