Session Start (hajime:hide): Fri Apr 10 21:55:54 2009
[21:57] hajime: *flicks cigarette out the small balcony* *knots obviously showing on his forehead, almost jumps at the doorbell* *rushes to open it* Oh! it’s -you-. *holds the door slightly ajar*
[21:58] hide: *walks in, hugging him, even with a bag slung over her arm* Good evening, Hajime. I’m sorry the weather delayed me. *smiles* *indicates the bag* I brought some dinner to cook…
[22:02] hajime: It’s been raining relentlessly since this afternoon. I was thinking it would’ve been better for you not to go anywhere. *releases her from the hug* *pulls her in and closes the door behind him* Well at least you’re not wet. You can start cooking there if you want. *points to kitchen* (Link: [22:02] *** Error while sending IM: Refused by client

[22:08] hide: *grins* It will take more than a little rain to keep me from my ookami-sama… *laughs and lets him go, going into the kitchen* *looks around, nods* Nice kitchen…. *opens up some cabinets until she finds some pans, takes a cast iron skillet from her bag, which she places on the stove and lights the gas under it* *fills a pot with water, which she places on the stovetop, and lights the burner* *smiles* I can do much more than Japanese food, you know. *stops for a kiss as she’s going about the kitchen* *starts pulling more items from her bag, hands him a bottle of red wine* Will you open this for me?
[22:11] hajime: When I first bought this place, the “kitchen” was the selling point. Not that I could cook… *grimaces as he uncorks the wine* *finds some wine glasses in one of the cupboards* I really only wanted a balcony so I can smoke. *pours the wine and sets them on the counter* So no japanese? What will it be tonight? *tilts his head*
[22:17] hide: Well you have a wonderful kitchen for me to come over and cook in on your nights off! *smiles as she pulls more items from the bag, until she finally comes with a bag of asparagus. Cleaning them at the sink, she ties them together in a bundle with string and places in the pot filled with a bit of now-simmering water, and closes the lid* Tonight we’re having very basic… asparagus, potatoes, and steak. *grins as she unwrappes the butcher’s paper and places two tenderloin steaks on the hot skillet.* *finds a big bowl in one of the cabinets, and takes the foil-wrapped potatoes from her bag, unwraps them, and adds some milk, butter, cheese and bacon as she sets to mashing them.* While I am an -excellent- Japanese cook, I do like to -stretch- my talents. *stands on her tip-toes to kiss him as she takes the wineglass, and goes back to the stove, setting the bowl of potatoes in the back as she examines the steak* How do you like your steak cooked?
[22:23] hajime: *settles his chin on his knuckles, watching her cook* *smirks thinking those pots and pans hasn’t been used for quite a few months* I -still- prefer Japanese cooking but I’ll give your other talents a -try-. *almost follows her back after she breaks the kiss but goes and pays attention to his drink instead* I like mine rare please. *stares at what she’s doing, not really interested in the food but stares anyway* I was beginning to think you wouldn’t come. *looks at his watch and grimaces again* And it’s a shame by the time you’re done cooking, me eating… *chuckles a little and shrugs* How about staying the night? There’s only one bedroom however… *grins at her, if they haven’t been seeing each other for a while, this would’ve been inappropriate… besides no one’s around*
[22:30] hide: Hmm rare…. *takes one steak from the pan, wrapping it in foil and setting on the back of the stove, as she checks the asparagus* *smiles as she feels his eyes on her* You keep looking at me… you must be hungry. *grins over at him from behind her shoulder* *takes the second steak off, and grabs the bottle of red wine, and takes the skillet from the stove before pouring a bit in the pan, sets it back on the burner to add some butter and chopped garlic* *stirs the sauce, and takes a moment to turn off the burner to the pot* *takes two plates, and puts potatoes on each. removes the aspagus from the pan, cuts the string and adds them. Finally, she takes the steak, and pours the pan sauce over them, kills the burner* *turns, holding the two plates of food* (Link: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/SafetyGirl/Steak_Dinner_2516439.jpg)(Link: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/SafetyGirl/Steak_Dinner_2516439.jpg)http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/SafetyGirl/Steak_Dinner_2516439.jpg *smiles* I was hoping you’d ask… after all, it may rain again later. One bedroom… *looks thoughtful, then grins, looking into his eyes* Sounds -very- good.
[22:35] hajime: Well I can’t just kick you out on the street after cooking for me. *smirks at her and takes the plates, setting them down in the dining area* *thinsk to himself, well here’s another place that doesn’t get used much* *laughs inwardly, remembering what this woman does to him, or rather his life* Here, you can sit -here-. *pulls out a chair for her and waits*
[22:36] hajime: note the dining area isn’t really a formal one.. it’s like a nook

[22:36] hajime: like that.
[22:37] hajime: oh OOC. haha
[22:39] hide: You really can’t, my pan will take hours to cool down. *brings the wineglasses along* *starts to sit and remebers one last thing from her bag* *comes back with two candles and holders* I’ll leave it for you to light them? *sits down and looks out the windows* A good way to spend a rainy night…. *turns to look back at him and smiles, brushing back some hair that got in her face while cooking* You’ll have to tell me how I did….
[22:43] hajime: *shakes his head when she brings out the candles but takes out his zippo and lights them anyway* Would some music be appropriate then? *doesn’t wait for her to reply and just turns on some oldies* *comes back and sits down, takes a big slice of steak and stuffs himself* *doesn’t say anything but does keep stuffing himself* *looks up finally and asks* Well aren’t you eating? Even if you’re forced to stay here, you’ll need some strength in you… *thinks: that didn’t come out quite right*
[22:49] hide: *watches as he devours his steak* *laughs* Don’t forget your veggies! *eats some of her dinner, her steak cooked to medium* *nods* I do need my strength, which is why I chose such a substantial meal. It’ll be good for you, as well. *eyes gleam in the candlelight* But I can hardly say that I was forced… it’s very, very much by choice. *takes a sip of her wine, and eats more of the steak* Ah… I did do well on the steak.
[22:53] hajime: *that look in her eye didn’t escape him* *starts to eat more slowly and now paying attention to his “veggies” like she -told- him to* I’ve been meaning to get you up here for a long time, but we always seem to end up elsewhere. *snorts a bit* How did we even end up in Kondou-san’s place which is at least an hour away is beyond me. *doesn’t tell her the reason why he actually wanted her in his place* So what did you end up doing today. *thinks: why am i making casual conversation?*
[22:57] hide: You do work most nights… *thinks about Kondou’s house* Oh, I thought we were there to go swimming. *bites her lip* I don’t think we made the pool, but I remember them having a wonderful bathroom…. but it’s nice to finally see your place. It’s much roomier than mine, I will get the full tour after we’re done eating? *finishes her asparagus* What I did? I ran errands before it began to rain, got ready for tonight. *smiles*
[23:02] hajime: *Eyes flicker at the mention of “bathroom”.* You think it’s roomy? I always feel so trapped in it but I did get a good deal on it I’m told. *swallows the last bit of his steak* A full tour? Well aside from the bathroom and my bedroom and that fake “balcony” over there.. *tilts his head in the opposite direction* There’s not much to see. I’ve been told that if I stop being so utilitarian and add some decorations, this place would have a better atmosphere. *shrugs* *notices her wine is almost done, pours some more for both of them*
[23:08] hide: Roomier than my place, it’s -tiny-… *laughs* *looks over to the balcony* Hmmm… not even enough room for plants, but it’s good for fresh air and smoking. *done with her meal, she takes a sip of wine* Well I’d still like to see your place… but maybe adding some photos would be a good start. I would always suggest plants.. *smiles* I see you liked your dinner? *looks at the empty plate* *stands, leaving her wineglass to come stand behind him, putting her arms around his shoulders* I didn’t make a dessert… I couldn’t see you as a cake man. *kisses the top of his head* *reaches in his pocket and gets a cigarette, which she lights for him and hands over*
[23:15] hajime: I did like it but I saw that you were praising yourself already. *looks up at her with a grin* As for this place, no… I’ve heard from Nagakura that once you let a woman start messing with your own space, it’ll no longer be yours. *takes the cigarette from her and smokes a few puffs, settles his hand on the arm that’s resting on his shoulder* Here take this. *hands her glass of wine* Let’s stand outside. *gets up to walk her out to what he considers a -small- balcony* (Link: http://www.mlsni.com/photos/Property/895/07124895_5.jpg)http://www.mlsni.com/photos/Property/895/07124895_5.jpg OOC: pretend it’s night. the balcony is covered so it’s dry even if it’s raining.
[23:21] hide: We women are troublesome like that. *laughs* *walks out with him to the balcony* You could do a few plants… they could provide some privacy from the sides! *laughs* Nice view, though, you can see some of the lake between the other buildings… *looks around* *puts her wineglass down on the ledge by the window and turns to face him* You know, you don’t need to keep plying me with wine. *steps close to him, just a breath away from touching* After all… if I’m staying the night, I want to remember every moment of it… *leans up to kiss him*
[23:27] hajime: *looks thoughtful for a moment* That’s -not- a bad idea… Plants for privacy. Hmm…. *goes behind her as she surveys the view* Well to be honest, this is an odd place. *holds her from behind by the waist* I like coming here because all our friends are somewhere here, living their lives. *eyes narrow suddenly, realizing that wasn’t completely true* *swallows and removes the thought from his head, turns to her neck and starts to kiss it* Ah I’m sorry about the wine. I forget that your tolerance is much lower than mine. *returns her kisses after she turns around* *licks his lips slightly after the kiss ended* Hmm… I didn’t quite get a good taste…
[23:32] hide: It is an odd place, but I like it… there’s things I enjoy here. *smiles* But really, you could tell me we were living on the moon, and I’d enjoy it if you were there. *tilts her head as he kisses her neck* It takes very little wine to make me tipsy… it’s not as strong as sake but much more affecting… *touches his face* However, this… *draws him in for a long, slow kiss* is the quickest way to leave me all dizzy-headed…. *laughs softly* Would you still like a taste more? *nips at his lips*
[23:38] hajime: Now you’re yanking my chain. *chuckles into her hair as he smells it* You’ve been hanging out too much with your keeper. Sake is still the -best-. *holds the hand that is touching his face* But I know something more potent than sake. *bends down to meet her kiss* *enjoys it for a while, then finally lets her lips go placing her arms on his shoulder* I’ll have more than a taste later. *grins and starts to sway them in sync to an old tune* It’s been a while since I sang to you hasn’t it? Would you like one hime-sama?
[23:43] hide: Sake is always the best… *thinks of a day they will share it, smiles* Just as Japanese food is, but a steak is nice on occassion. *laughs* I have much better plans for your chain than to -yank- it…. *runs her hands along his shoulder* *softly* Taste all you wish… *kisses along his neck, biting a little* Mmm…. *steps in closer to him, her head against his chest as she sways with him* It has… Hajime, sing to me… *turns her head up to look at him*
[23:50] hajime: *wonders what she means by -that- “chain” remark* *chuckles a little after she bites him* I can’t sing if you keep doing that. *stops moving, holds her at arms length, looks her up and down and then pulls her back in to rest her head again on his chest* *wraps both his arm around her waist, looks down at her and sees her staring at him, looks away and fixates his gaze on one of the far away lights from a tall building* *clears his throat* Now don’t laugh… *wonders if he’s actually still able to do this* *hums first and starts slowly swaying them again* Mmmm… At last, my love has come along…. *still doesn’t look back at her* My lonely days are over… And life is like a song *steals a look but quickly looks away -again-.* The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clovers
The night I looked at you…
[23:50] hajime: *croaks a little and frowns*
[23:50] hajime: Bah this is too hard….
[23:51] hide: No that was -wonderful- Hajime! *looks up at him with shining eyes, and reaches up to touch his face* Go on… keep singing… I want to hear the rest… *smiles*
[23:55] hajime: *groans* *thinks: why am I doing this again?* Fine fine… You know this song was really sang by a woman right? My voice doesn’t really… *sighs* -Fine-. *places her head back on his chest so she doesn’t look up at him* I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to rest my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
*chuckles suddenly but keeps on going* Oh, yeah when you smile, you smile
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven…. *stops singing and hums instead while still swaying slowly* *ends the song to himself and doesn’t utter the last two lines*
[00:00] hide: *softly adds in*
“For you are mine
At last”
*sways with him* A wonderful song… and you sang it -very- well. *grins* Thank you for indulging your Hime-sama… *leans up to kiss him* *whispers* Until you get some plants, lets say we go inside… you promised to show me around your place.
[00:04] hajime: *shakes his head as she finishes the song* Hai hai… What are servants for after all? *nips back at her lips* Lets go inside and take a rest. You don’t have to be anywhere tomorrow don’t you? Maybe you can stay for the rest of the day? I… don’t have to be anywhere…
[00:07] hide: I don’t have to be anywhere but here… *walks inside with him, her arm around his waist* I can stay … for the day, for the night… *smiles up at him*
[00:09] hajime: Good… Because I’m being told to “retire”. *thinks she doesn’t have any clothes* I… There’s some clean shirts in my closet. *wonders if she’ll look good in a shirt* grins to himself, thinking he’ll just give her a big shirt. no use hiding those shapely legs from him* *suddenly grabs her and kisses her -deeply-* *lets go and drags her to the bedroom to get a “big” shirt* (OOC: you may close)
[00:12] hide: Oh well we’ll just amuse ourselves… *laughs* *goes to his closet, picks out a shirt and dashes into the washroom, coming back out wearing his shirt only, “twirls” for him* I think it suits me well… don’t you? *grins and lays down on his bed* Time to “retire”…. (OOC close)
