"She sounds amazing. I wish I could've met her," Cal said softly, pulling Marya into a gentle embrace. He wished that he could've had parents like that. Someone who was always there for him. But now he had Marya, Nimue, Marcus and all the members of the rebellion.
"More flawed than amazing." she sighed, leaning into his hug. "You're less flawed than her, and you have a lot of flaws. On the inside, of course. But lovable flaws, really. Ones that make me want to kiss you because you're such an idiot."
"Then I guess I'll try to be an idiot more often," Cal answered, smiling as he leaned against her, feeling as if something in his chest was healing. "I don't remember my mother. . . my dad never spoke about her."
"I wish I didn't remember my mother. She broke my heart."
"I'm here for you if you need to talk about it." Cal murmured, pressing a kiss to Marya's cheek.
"I know." she touched his lips, pressing two fingers against them. "Your lips are soft."
"They are?" Cal asked, looking down at Marya with a questioning gaze. They had always felt so rough to him.
"Pressed against my skin, at least."
Cal smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to her lips, his arms wrapping around her waist. Only now did he realize how much he loved her. If Marya left, he wouldn't know what to do.
She pulled away after 30 seconds, "You need to stop kissing me randomly. Your kisses make me feel really frazzled and my heart jumps and I feel like I'm on drugs or something, so you need to start warning me. I need to prepare myself."
"Okay then," Cal answered, chuckling lightly. "I'm going to kiss you now. Are you ready?" He asked teasingly, a grin tugging the corners of his lips up.
"One kiss per day, boy. Not including death situations or battles/fights." she put a finger to his lips. "Also, not ready. Will never be ready."
Cal laughed and smiled against her finger, nodding in agreement. "One per day. Sounds like a deal."
"The deal starts tomorrow." she said, before kissing him on the lips and wrapping her arms around his shoulders.
Cal pulled Marya closer, turning her around as pressing her against the wall gently. His lips parted slightly as he closed his eyes, kissing her harder.
She broke the kiss, hovering her lips a few inches away from his. "Cal, son of Eros, assnut of my dreams, we really have to stop kissing in public."
Ailith looked over at the two. She said sarcastically, "Yeah you do."
( oof, didn't realize that they're in public. lmao xD )
"Yeah, we probably do," Cal smirked, looking over at Ailith. "How are you feeling?"
"Fine I suppose," Ailith sighed.
"I'm going to stay here to watch over you, make sure you're okay." she stood up straight and saluted to Ailith.
Ailith gave a small salute back, a goofy grin on her face.
"That's good. If you excuse me, I need to go and see Marcus." Cal replied, nodding towards them as he walked towards the door of the infirmary, wincing with every step. It wouldn't hurt to go and check on the rest of the base, would it? A couple nurses called for him to come back, but he had already started down the hallway.
( I gtg, I'll be on later though )
"He really should be resting." Marya pulled up a chair and sat down next to Ailith's cot.
(I'm confused as to what is going on at the moment. someone help! also idk how to join in)
