Dinner Date for Two

Gaius didn't usually go out of his way to try to impress people... actually he probably had never gone out of his way to impress anyone because he didn't think it was worth the effort. That wasn't to say he was lazy, though he was fairly lazy, no it was just that there were very few people he actually cared enough about. Oh he liked a lot of the people in his life plenty well enough... but Asuka... Asuka was quite different. What he saw was not merely a girl who stood up for herself, but one who was practically craving a love that was missing in her life. More than anything he wanted to be that love in her life.

So he was cleaned up, shaved, well dressed, and he even had a bouquet of long stemmed roses squirreled away in his cape to surprise her with. He made reservations at a fancy restaurant, using a few of the connections he had from ordering their pastries which were some of the finest in the cosmos. Yes, when it came to feeding his sugar addiction he made connections that spread across worlds to find the sweetest and tastiest confections known to mankind. Tonight though was more about dinner than desert... though he was certainly hoping that Asuka would be willing to have desert... ~~Or be desert~~...

He cleared his mind of the dirty thoughts, ~~Like Asuka covered in whipped cream and begging him to have a tas- no, no, he had to stop!~~ and knocked on her door. He was still wearing what he normally did, but it was much cleaner, fresher, and he even cleaned out all the old syrup, sugar, and jelly stains from it. He'd told her she could wear just about anything she liked since that's exactly what he was doing, but he did drop mention of the fact that he would take her to a fancy place because he thought she deserved to be spoiled a bit more. So he was curious as to how she might look when she greeted him at the door, mentally preparing himself for the absolute worst, but hoping to see that gorgeous smile on her face again.

What was the worst case scenario? Asuka looking like she just came out of a blast zone with her hair lit on fire, her clothes covered in mud, her having a hangover from hell that made her look like a zombie that wanted to claw his brains out, and her carrying around the severed head of Shinji. Yes, he shuddered at the very idea of it, but even if things were at their worst, he'd at least try to get her cleaned up, bury the body, hide the evidence, have her skip town, and give her a raincheck on that date. Wow... if he was willing to go that far, he really was smitten wasn't he? He needed to get out of his head and stop being so damn nervous about this date... he had to be more cool and collected or else she'd eat him for breakfast. He was hoping to wait for the second date for that. Yup here he was, ex-con chuckling over a joke inside his own damn head and waiting for the girl of his dreams to answer the door on their first date.

Well, if you've already made reservations, then I'd say we should go there.

[ She got into the limo, moving over to make room for him as she had before.

Asuka reaches over to grab that bottle of wine from before and refill her glass. It was sweet, and she quite liked the taste. So she helped herself. It was there for the two of them to enjoy, so why waste it?]

[Gaius blinks as if he's surprised she'd have been so rational about it, and you know... so forward about going to a hotel alone with him, but hey she agreed to marry him so at this point, why not? He went in after her and chuckled when he saw that she already had her hands on the wine. He couldn't blame her if the laws of the land prohibited drinking for those of her age, because that meant it was a rare treat if nothing else.]

Your practicality is only matched by your beauty and charm Asuka. Well actually I suppose I could go on for days about your good characteristics that you have in abundance, but those are the ones that stick out the most to me in this instance.

[He passes her his empty glass so that she can fill it while he takes the moment to sprawl out over a few seats for a trip that would likely be much shorter than their first one.]

So I'm curious... and you can shush me up if you think this crass of me, but do you think about what you like when it comes to your sexual preferences much?

[Yup, he was prepared to dodge anything from a kick, to a spit-take at that question he'd posed to her. Hey, she'd taken him by surprise a few times this evening, he had every right to do the same.]

[ She had started to fill his glass when he asked. Which ended up in her spilling a drop or two on her lap by accident. She normally would drop kick someone for asking such a question but instead she just frowned. Mostly because she hadn't ever really thought about because she had never had sex before. ]

Not.. Really. I've never-

[ Asuka cut herself off there. That seemed incredibly lame for her to say. Especially around Gaius, who probably knew much more about that sort of thing than her. She clears her throat, filling his glass up and handing it to him. ]

I've never thought about it..

Oh yeah?

[She had taken that surprisingly well, but then again he'd been pretty much the perfect gentleman the whole night so probably a lot could be forgiven by that as a result. Still he waved his hand trying to apologize for again what he himself had called rather crass.]

My apologies, I didn't mean to jump you with that question... well I sort of did, but I at least feel guilty about it? Truth be told my experience in that area has been... less than optimal.

[Yeah... he wasn't going to go into the details on that if he could avoid it.]

I do however have a small confession to make before this night is officially over, so if you'd like to hear it now, I wouldn't mind sharing it with you.

Don't worry about it. It's alright.

[ Bringing her wine to her lips, she crossed her legs and leaned back in her seat, raising an eyebrow. ]

Hmm? What would that be?

[He lets out a heavy sigh, kicking back even further.]

I saw you talking with that cat lady back when we first met... I didn't want to say anything but she was right. I was... and still a little am a thief. I work for the crown now... or the throne or... whatever you want to call it. The point is that there was a point in my life where I was a criminal, and I did some things I'm not exactly proud of. I like to think the past is the past, but sometimes things like that can come back to haunt you.

[Gaius lowered a piece of cloth he always kept tied to his arm, revealing a black X tatooed to his arm.]

They branded me a criminal and locked me away, and I was content to spend my time for doing the crime. However... some corrupt nobles wanted me to help them with a frame job if they let me out early, asking me to say I broke into the royal treasury at some Duke's behest. I didn't care one whit about getting someone else involved for something I did, so I told them where they could shove that deal of theirs. I wish that's where the story ended but... they were talking about killing that dukes daughter as they were walking out of the room so I told them I was just trying to get them to sweeten the deal and to come back. I part of me still hates what I did, and this damn mark reminds me of it on a constant basis, but I figure it was the best choice in a whooole lot of bad ones.

[Gaius tossed the gold coin he'd been playing with earlier into the air catching it absentmindedly each time by just listening for it.]

Long story short, I framed an innocent man so his daughter would live... but I heard that the duke's name got cleared, and I had sent a letter to try to help clear his name so they wouldn't give him the hangman's noose. So that's probably all my dirty secrets right out there in the open. I am a thief, no I have no intentions of robbing anyone you know, or from this world for that matter, and no I have no ulterior motives for trying to win your heart. Does that satisfy you?

[ Oh yeah. She almost forgot that she ever had that conversation in the first place. She had been so swept off her feet by the events of tonight, that conversation had slipped her mind completely. She listened to him talk about his past, what he had done. And somehow she wasn't in the least bit concerned or worried that he'd try anything. Not in the slightest. ]

That sounds awful. And I don't think negatively of you at all, if thats what you're thinking.

[ She sighs and puts her glass down, pink already rising in her cheeks, due to the fact that because she's never drank, shes a bit of a lightweight. ]

I've done some stuff I'm not proud of either.

[ Theres a slight pause, and a quiet hiccup. But it was just once. So maybe that didn't mean anything. ]

My mom was kinda crazy. She wasn't always that way, though. She was pretty smart.. And then, from what I hear, she test piloted unit 02 and something went really wrong. She got all messed up, and she always called this doll 'Asuka'. She never once looked at me, or was a real mom to me, after that. And then.. And then she hung herself.

[ There was a pause. ]

My dad re-married a German doctor. She was nice, but she didn't like me every much. She said I was too independant. Too rough. At my mom's funeral, my grandma told me I was very strong. But if I needed to cry, I could. I swore I would never ever cry again. I wouldn't depend on anyone else, like I depended on my mom. And so I started piloting Eva, earnin' respect.

I did some pretty shitty stuff. And I guess you could say some people ended up hating me for it. But you gotta take risks to go far, right?

[ By now shes reached over to pour another glass, after spilling her guts out. ]

So.. People do bad things. I guess its what makes us human.

Oh gods...

[He didn't want to pity her, he really didn't because she no doubt would get angry at him for it or... he didn't even know what... yet at the same time. He couldn't help it. She was the woman he loved, and hearing that she had to struggle through so much crap in her life just like he did... hell he buried half of his past because he couldn't face it, and here she was, practically bearing her soul to him. He took the glass from her, put it down, and wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight, and holding her close.

She'd had enough to drink, and if she didn't drink some more water to balance that out she'd probably have a hell of a hangover in the morning. More importantly though, she needed to know he cared about her, he more than cared about her, he loved her. Her mother probably loved her too and simply lost her mind, otherwise she wouldn't have named that doll Asuka. Probably what was left of her mother was so far gone she was trying to protect Asuka because she knew she couldn't be the mother she deserved anymore... hell this was probably why Asuka was so leery about parents, and having kids. So many things clicked in place, and Gaius just held her in his arms, burying his face in her hair and kissing her head.]

Asuka... I want you to know that no matter how bad our pasts may be, no matter how much crap life is going to throw our way... I'm still going to stay with you and protect you as much as I possibly can. You can hate me, kick me, and try to drive me away with all your might, but no matter what I love you, and I'm going to stick by you. You'll have to kill me yourself to get rid of me, and I doubt there's a man or beast alive capable of doing it.

[He stroked her hair tenderly and sat her up straight to look into her eyes again.]

We're both human, and we're both flawed, and we've both been through hell and back. That's what makes us so damn strong, and so capable of building a future together where we'll be the two happiest damn people who ever lived. You got that?

[ ~~not her wine nooo~~.

All of his words lit her heart up. After telling him all that emotional baggage she carried, here he was, telling her that she was still perfect and beautiful and special. And she might have drank a little too fast, and she had a slight buzz. Asuka modded at his last comment, just wanting to lean forward and bury her face in his chest..

Which is exactly what she did. ]

I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have you, you big dummy.

[ Her tone was soft as she pressed herself against him. He certainly had his way with words, that was undeniable.

Asuka moved back, taking a quick look at him before moving up to give him a very gentle kiss. Her face felt like it was on fire, and the tips of her ears tingled. ]

[He was touched by the simple way she lovingly called him a big dummy, almost as touched as when she called him sweet in german. Yet at the same time... he recognized that hint of drunkenness in her. Sure enough, first time wine drinking and she managed to overdo it, his adorable little wife to be.]

You my dear, are looking a little smashed.

[He gently ran his fingers through her fiery hair with a chuckle, and gave her a soft little kiss back. He could definitely be tempted from time to time to take advantage of situations, but one of his no, nos, was intoxication. Still... seeing as how she'd given him permission before she'd gotten intoxicated... heck maybe she'd done it so she'd be feeling less inhibitated. Still... maybe he'd have them wait till their wedding night to go all the way. Though... There was nothing wrong with a few friendly orgasms through other means, right? As the Limo parked, Gaius wrapped his arm around Asuka's waist just in case she was wobbly on her feet.]

Well my darling Fraulien, we're here! Shall I sweep you off your feet, and carry you to our room?

[The gesture was meant to be romantic, and practical in case she was a little too out of it.]

[ Asuka was only a little tipsy. If it weren't for the fact that she was wearing heels, she probably would've been fine, and he wouldn't have noticed anything. But she was wearing heels, and that did make her steps a little wobbily. She probably would have said something like "No. I can walk on my own!" But she was actually a little worried that she wouldn't make it inside on her own. So she nodded, trying to laugh and make it look like she really didn't need the help, and was just trying to be silly. ]

Take me away, Süßer.

[ Hiccup. ]

[Her arguments on whether or not she was tipsy might have worked better if they weren't punctuated by cute little hiccups. He just tried not to laugh as he scooped her up in his arms, letting her rest her head against his chest. Remember when he called himself scrawny? Well that certainly wasn't what his arm and chest muscles were suggesting. Her cute little legs with her high heels were dangling over one arm, and Gaius winked over towards the driver to let him know they were finished for the evening.]

You know Fraulein, you should be a little more careful with those kinds of beverages. Quite tasty, but they'll catch you by surprise in the morning.

[He wasn't trying to lecture her... much. More like trying to warn her that as warm and fuzzy as she felt now, she'd likely turn pretty bitchy towards him tomorrow morning if she had a hangover. He checked in at the lobby, managing to take the key card in the hand attached to the arm Asuka's legs were draped over. He could have taken the elevator, but it was only three flights of stairs, and he wasn't keen at people staring at him carrying a drunk underage girl alone to his hotel room. He may not be entirely familiar with this place's laws, but no doubt that was something that wouldn't look good. Besides, he liked holding her in his arms, and he got to do it longer this way. She was so light compared to heavy axes or armor he'd carried for miles in the past that he didn't even break a sweat before they arrived at their door.]

I suppose now it's time for that lovely cliche where the husband carries his wife over the threshold?

[With a cuckle, Gaius leaned down to kiss those irresistible lips of hers, while he slid the card into the slot. With a little click, the door opened to reveal a rather pleasant hotel room with a queen size bed, a television set, a snack bar, an open door leading to the bathroom with a large hot-tub, and a few wardrobes, chairs, and a table with a crystal chess set ready to be played. The window had a terrific view of the courtyard, with heavy drapes for those who liked to sleep in... or wanted privacy. The door closed shut behind them as Gaius gently laid Asuka down on the bed, gave her another little kiss, and made his way over to the snack bar.]

Now I know you're probably thinking you didn't have too much to drink but...

[Gaius filled a large glass with water and brought it over to her with a cheeky grin.]

I still want you to drink all of this before I get any more friendly with my kisses this evening. You'll thank me in the morning.

[ There might have been a little groan as she took the water out of his hands. Less than excited, she tipped the glass, drinking the water slowly and looking around the room while she did. ]

I don't like water. It doesn't taste like anything.

[ With a little sigh, she kicked her heels off the edge of the bed. ]

Hey, would you prefer to be drinking medicine? Sometimes drinking stuff that doesn't taste like anything is a hell of a lot better than drinking stuff that tastes like swill.

[Ooh... okay he kind of liked the sight of her casually kicking off her heels like that, so he knelt down and kissed the top of her foot like a prince kissing a princess' hand.]

Consider it a favor to me? I'll make it up to you in any way you see fit this evening. I am yours to command my little darling Fraulein.

[ A light shade of pink dusts her cheeks, and she continues to chug her water. She can feel her chest thumping ~~and she tries to not freak out as much as possible because that wine is starting to make things a little stranger now.~~

Eventually, she finishes her water and hands him the glass. ]

Here. I'm done.

[ Try as she might to look grumpy about having to drink that whole glass, his offer to make it up to her might have her stomach in knots. ]

But I'm far from done my dear~

[A smirk slipped on his lips as he kissed further up her foot, towards her ankle, warm lips gently brushing against her pale skin as he was already feeling a bit more excited than he should be. It was really just all the build up and holding back for so long that was like giving a caged beast a bit more slack on the leash bit by tiny bit.]

Now then Asuka... You have the option to have absolute control, calling all the shots, having me see to your every whim because all too often in your life you haven't had the chance to do so. Or if you don't, I may just have to ravage every inch of you because I won't be able to resist unless you tell me what it is you wish of me. The choice... is yours.

[His tongue lightly licked up her ankle and gently stroked her shin. She was almost as sweet and creamy textured as one of his many sweets he was always tasting, and in this case he was having a harder time resisting.]

[ To say that she was blushing would be an understatement, by far. It would be more accurate to say her face felt like it was on fire, and every time he touched her skin, it tingled where he had left kisses. And when she felt his tongue on her leg, she might've flinched a little without meaning to.

Asuka held her lips closed together tightly, nerves flooding into her stomach. She could call the shots, right? So why did it feel so impossible for her to say anything in the moment?

Yep she had completely lost that cool German girl thing she had going at this point. Shaking her head, she spoke up as best she could, her voice just a mere mumble. ]

Y-you can do whatever you want..

[Gaius couldn't help but grin, knowing that she likely couldn't even think clearly enough to know what she wanted, and this was after all her first time. Something sweet and vanilla was just what the doctor ordered he thought, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to be at least a little naughty.]

If that is your final answer, it shall be as you wish my love.

[He removed his shirt and cloak with a twirl of black cloth, always having to do things with a little bit of a flair to impress her. He figured they might just get in the way like this, and he was careful to wrap it in such a way that when he tossed them to the side, they'd cushion the half a dozen sweets he had stored inside.]

Now that that's out of the way... would you mind helping me with this dress of yours? I'd hate to get it dirty on you, or accidentally tear anything.

[He was almost on top of her, his hands holding him up at arms length above her so that he could look down upon her adorable little blushing face... and so she could see he was a real piece of eye-candy himself when he wanted to be.]

Y-yeah. I'll help.

[ Nervously, Asuka worked her dress straps off her shoulders and tugging it down towards her hips. Once she wiggled her arms out, she was able to hold her hips up using her back and her legs, and slide the dress down and off her body. ]

I-Is embarrassment contagious?

[Because... wow... for some reason her sliding out of her dress for him just... absolutely blew what little cool he had been holding onto moments before. Why was this so much more than when he was kissing his way up her legs? Yet... here she was, bare save for her undergarments right underneath him, and he felt super shy, and unworthy of the pristine alabaster body of his wife to be. Wife to be... wife to be... somehow those words brought comfort and joy enough back to him that he swallowed down the lump of unease in his throat.]

You're absolutely breathtaking Asuka... don't let anyone ever tell you different.

[He lowered himself gently, and leaned on his side to wrap his arms around her, and give her a gentle little reassuring kiss. A kiss that slowly went from sensually claiming her lips, to teasingly pecking at her chin, to lengthy sucking along her neck, to feather light touches along her cleavage, not quite full on kissing yet.]

Allow me to continue where I left off at you legs, hmm? Unless of course... you wanted me stop somewhere along the way.

[He gave a teasing tiny little lick between her breasts still bound in her bra, just to try to excite her.]

M-mhmm. Yeah y-you can continue..

[ Well some little part of her was still left, because she found herself saying that more like she was giving an order, rather than asking him to keep going. She could do that, then? Right? It was't so hard to say 'do this' or 'touch me there'. Or at least it seemed like it shouldn't be hard to say, but it was.

That little lick gets her eyes to widen, and a shiver shoots up her spine. Without realizing it, she's snapped her legs shut, as if she was trying to hold all of the urges she was feeling in. ]

Um. You can... Be a little rougher if you want, too. Just a little..

That's right, you're tough aren't you my little Fraulein?

[He remembered her saying that when they were talking about growing charming or growing tough, and he'd filed that little tidbit away for just such an occasion.]

Well then, if that's the case my dear feel free to let me know rather roughly yourself if I'm too rough with you.

[He scooted down and pried her legs open that had just earlier been clamping together, running his slick tongue up from the outside of her left knee to her thigh. He was continuing where he left off after all, but so as not to leave her right leg neglected, he deftly caressed her leg with his hands that for once were bare of the leather gloves he normally wore. This was more tease than actual sexual stimulation in Gaius mind, but in his opinion that was all part of a good romantic night. He nimbly massaged her thigh muscles with his fingers, making sure to apply enough pressure to ease any tension that may be there, while his mouth practically clamped onto her other thigh and he sucked on it leaving his own little mark on her.]

[ Slowly she relaxes her muscles, practically melting at his touch. Her hands rests on her chest, glancing down every now and then to watch him work. The way his mouth felt up against untouched skin was almost enough to drive her over the edge already. But she held out, instead just letting out a soft breath. ]

I don't think you could be too rough.

[ Reason number one being that he was incredibly gentle, and reason number two being that she was a pretty tough cookie. And drunk or not, a little roughness was always welcome. She liked someone who challenged her a little. ]

Oh yeah?

[That almost sounded like a challenge to Gaius, and while he normally was inclined to go slow, steady, and gently for a first time, he was never one to back down from a challenge. He sat up, and roughly grabbed her rump in both hands giving her a rough squeeze as he slid his face between her two thighs.]

Let's see how you handle this Asuka.

[He pulled her panties to the side with his teeth, and pressed his face and tongue right slick up against her folds. He squeezed her rump again, to press his face into her so that her was licking and kissing her down there as roughly as he dared for now. He might even pinch her between his teeth and tongue a little now and then just to see how she might react.]

[ Oh. Oh.

Quickly, Asuka straightened out her back with a loud gasp, eyes wide. That was- unexpected. Really unexpected. And she'd never ever felt anything like that before. With one swift movement, she'd already brought her knuckles down on the top of his head. It wasn't very hard, but it was enough to get his attention. ]

O-oi! What the hell..? You gotta take things slow, dummy!

[ She didn't mean to hit him, but.. It was reflexes. That actually had felt incredible but he had startled her a bit, enough so that she was sat up, and was beet red. ]
