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.

There was a small squeak of surprise when he responded in returning the good morning kiss, but when his eyes opened, she couldn't help but smile, nuzzling her nose against his affectionately, "Good morning my prince." she whispered, teasing him. A direct reference to the fairy tales, sure, but! "..Sorry, you looked so sweet and cute sleeping like that, I couldn't resist..." And she didn't think he'd really mind a kiss good morning.

That surprised squeak made the smile that claimed his lips all the more radiant as he slowly stirred away with a faint yawn. "Mmmm is that so~? Then you won't mind if I respond in kind now will you~?" Rean asked and suddenly he leanved towards Alisa to lovingly press his lips to hers with a delighted purr.

Alisa would never mind such a response, and she was about to say as much - though Rean leaned forward a bit quicker than she thought he would and he managed to capture her lips right when she was intending to respond to him. As a result, he got a soft 'Mmphh..' from the golden haired heiress before she relaxed and melted into the kiss. Though she did reluctantly pull away when ... once again, air was needed, even if her response was a touch dazed, "I will never mind a response from you like that.."

Rean couldn't help that budding flower of pride when he heard Alisa's words. He pulled up to her cheek and nuzzled affectionately as he gave ALisa's body anotehr quick squeeze in his embrace.

"Good. Since I will do it as often as I can get away with~"

Alisa chuckled, nuzzling back against him with a contented hum, "I couldn't be happier hearing that," she promised. Well, unless she got it in her head to keep him at arms length to try to make their separation easier. Which would not work.

She's quiet a little bit, simply staying curled up in his arms, breathing in his 'Rean-ness' and trying to memorize the feeling of his arms around her under the blanket.

Wait - blanket? Did he get up in the middle of the night and get a blanket for them? She suddenly pulls back a bit, perplexed, "Wait, where did this come from...?" She nudged a the cozy blanket draped over herself and Rean.

He snuggled up close with a soft smile uintil Alisa pointed out the elephant in the room. WHich was when he froze for a moment before looking down at the blanket.

"I...don't think I let you out of my arms either. Not given what I was thinking last... That means..."

Alisa stared at Rean, red eyes slowly widening in realization. Before she could voice her suspicions, however...

"And what WERE you thinking last, Master Rean?" A familiar giggle precedes the words, and Alisa tenses in Rean's embrace, suddenly embarrassed. So embarrassed she tries to shrink into his arms and under the blanket, even though their... current positions were rather obvious.

Sharon of course, is standing by with her hands folded primly before herself, a bemused smile on her lips. "Teehee. Good morning, my lady. And how was -your- evening?"

Rean on the other hand merely heaved a suffering sigh. "Nothing you're trying to imply Sharon. Just that I did not want to let go of Alisa no matter what last night~" Rean answered with a grumble.

Sharon chuckled at his grumbling, "As comfortable as the two of you looked last night, I can't say I'm surprised. Although you should be careful you don't catch a chill, sleeping without even a single blanket, and with the window open." Even if it was only open a little.

Alisa sighed, not really willing to let go of Rean, even with them having an audience now, but she did withdraw a little, blushing. "So it was you who put the blanket over us -- thenks, Sharon." Silently she kind of wishes Sharon had let them sleep a bit longer. Worse, she had an awful feeling that Sharon was hovering near them so much because she knew Rean would be leaving soon too, and she wanted to at least be present for the two of them as a distraction.

Sharon curtsied with a pleasant smile, "Of course, my lady." she confessed. "Everything I do is for you, after all. Now if you'll pardon me, I think I should prepare something to eat for you both. Even if you didn't... well," she gave a small titter that made Alisa flush slightly, "I'm sure you'll be hungry soon enough anyway."

"Sorry. We spent so much time talking we barely noticed when we fell asleep." Rean answered wiht a faint shrug. He wasn't about to loosen his hold on Alisa even now though. THough he did give a faint flinch at Her implied ideas.

"I am never going to get used to that kind of teasing." Rean admitted wiht a faint sigh as SHaron went off to make them boh some breakfast.

Sharon of course has noticed Rean's refusal to let go of Alisa, and only chuckles softly. Alisa smiled awkwardly at Rean, but she made no attempt to pull away and sit up either, embarrassed as she was.

"Ahahah, that's... that's Sharon for you," she smiled. Kind of grateful for the teasing really, because it kept her smiling even a little. She was avoiding bringing up the topic of his departure until the last minute - which would probably be after breakfast. Urgh. "I honestly think she gets her sustenance through teasing us." She glanced at Rean with a soft smile, "Come to think of it, she teased us about ..about our relationship even before we were in a relationship." She was scarily perceptive!

Rean certainly could see it that way. Sharon had a habit of knowing jut what to do for the sake of those she served. Even if they themsselves didn't know it.

"Yeah. I lost track of all those implications and allusions she made to me alone so I can only imagine how much she does it to you given you're both around each other every day almost." Rean chuckled softly before allowing himself to nuzzle against ALisa's hair.

Alisa chuckled softly, nuzzling back against him, "Mmmhmmhmm," she sighed at the feel of him nuzzling against her hair, "Oh you have no idea how much she's going to end up teasing me now. Maybe I can distract her with Rumu." She stifled a small, just-waking-up yawn, making a small attempt to pull away before failing miserably. "Mmmhno, I'm too comfortable now." She half-complained. They can't eat breakfast like this~!

Something told Rean that such a tactic would backfire spectacularly. Especially after what he said to Rumu while Alisa was not in the room. Buuut pointing that out wasn't something he wanted to do right now anyway.

"Mmmm that makes two of us. Since i really don't want to let you go."

Alisa smiled wistfully, "... I don't want to let you go either." She didn't want to let him go physically or emotionally. Who knew sleeping in his arms would be so ... so addictive? "You know Sharon's going to come out with breakfast soon." She VERY reluctantly pointed out the inevitable. It was unlikely that Claire was going to call and say he had another free day, wasn't it?

Rean once again turned to nuzzle against Alisa's neck, unintentionally tickling her with his breath and nose while he pulled her closer in his embrace.

"I do. But I still want to stay like this even then. Unless you think I should let go aftear all." No far tossing the ball in her court like this. As for Claire well...he wouldn't dare hope but if she wass so omniscient as she appeared maybe she would surprise them at the last minute.

Alisa muffled a soft giggle at the feel of his breath tickling her skin, though when he turned the tables on her like that she gave him a pout, "That's not fair, Rean." Hrmph. "You know I don't want you to let go." She playfully huffed at him and pressed against him further, nuzzling stubbornly into him.

The evil Schwarzer - he plays her like a violin better than Elliot does his own instrument.

"I know but that doesn't change my own wish~" He was being selfish for once just as she really wanted him to be since he knew Alisa would humor him. There was no harm in that. Besides she could play Rean just as easily when she wanted to. This was just Rean taking the initiative to get his fill before the inevitable separation.

Sharon -was- taking quite a bit of time cooking, if Alisa thought about it. Probably giving them as much time to cuddle with each other as possible. ".. that's all right then." Rean was selfless 24/7, allowing hiim to be selfish with her was nothing. Especially when she enjoyed the cuddles too. Though she felt like enough would never be enough when she wanted to be with him every day.

"Thank you for your generosity~" Rean chuckled fondly just sinking into her presence and reveling in the time they still had to spend together like this. "There was no way I would never fall for you." He confessed softly, allowing his mind and heart to feel blessed in their entirety while she held him so close.

Alisa sighed softly, nuzzling against him as if she were trying to absorb his warmth and Rean-ness to wear like a coat when he left. Though she glanced at him in surprise at the confession, blushing faintly before she gave him a sweet smile, "Rean..." He was truly too good for her - too good for the world, even.

"Alisa..." He said pushing her hand up to his cheek as he gently rubbed it again her palm reveling in how warm and soft it felt against his cheek as he peered into those breathtaking eyes.

She smiled softly as she felt him move her hand up to his cheek, and gently stroked her thumb against his cheek as she gazed back at him, almost trapped by his attention. In fact she was about to lean forward -- save for one small detail.

... Okay one big detail.

Sharon was stepping out of the kitchen with a beaming smile, in all likelihood having seen everything. Well. Alisa certainly hadn't noticed her /setting/ the table~

...She totally saw everything. And yet Rean still leaned closer and closer towards those sweet lips that had become such a focal point on Alisa as far as Rean was concerned. Those sweet soft lips were abolutely spel binding to him.

Oh dear, now Alisa was torn. On the one hand, Rean was leaning closer for a kiss that Alisa definitely didn't want to refuse him on. On the other.. Sharon was Right. There. ERM.

Fortunately, Super Maid only giggled and turned her attention elsewhere, pretending she wasn't noticing the pair for a few seconds more. Enough time for Alisa to mentally breath a sigh of relief and reciprocate -- though when she leaned in to meet Rean, her kiss was probably not as long as usual before she pulled back with an cough, semi-subtly indicating Sharon with a tilt of her head. "Rean..." she whispered softly, almost apologetic for cutting it shorter.

"Oh, don't mind me, you two," Sharon chirped, beceause OF COURSE she heard even that, glancing towards Alisa with a bright smile. "You should savor the time you have left together."
