closed;


[Their meeting had been serendipitous from the start. From a misfired text to lingerie pictures, the two of them had somehow started meeting up to run every morning exactly at 6am. It became a routine complimented with texts back and forth. She made it no secret that she liked his company, his uniquely dry sense of humour and the way he smiled though it tended to be a rare occurrence.

A morning routine had eventually become after-run-snack dates, lunch dates and now here they were nearly two months later on their first overnight trip together. Their camping trip was something they had planned together for a while, and Veronica had been more than excited, her cheerfulness only growing at the clearweather, the soft crunch of leaves under their feet and then the discovery of a clear river and a waterfall. Laughing she had taken his hand in hers, linking their fingers as she had drawn him over. The water had been icy cold but she was starting to slowly dry (and thaw a little) by the time they reached their little campsite and was warm now that they were sitting outside of their tent, watching as the sun slowly slips below the horizon and the first stars begin to wink into view.

It's a beautiful, unseasonably warm autumn night and it's the warm presence of him by her side that has her smiling softly and lacing their fingers together as she gently tugs on his hand to get his attention before leaning in to kiss him sweetly.]

[Hindsight turned the little back and forth exchange of pictures and flirtation into a romantic gesture, two months in and going strong. Relative to two months as Hiro hadn't kept a definitive timeline at first and things progressed seamless in a way he lost the point they became an item.

Nature is a good respite from the hustle of bustle of city life and the offer the take a trip to the mountains had been lingering ever since they first texted each other. It's a giant leap from morning met ups and lunch-ins, but he's been looking forward to it since Veronica took up his offer with a sincere smile.

The weather couldn't have been better. Warm for autumn and perfect for drying off in a huddle together, although the latter part tends to be true regardless. More so than the weather, it's the tug at his hand and kiss that warm him.

He lingers before the call for breath makes demands he pulls back bearing a toned down grin. Far less goofy than their first encounter, least he continually hopes it is.
]

Feeling any warm or should I make a fire? [Because her comfort and state of dryness is far more important than the stars, those tinkling little things they're there to actually see.]

[Of the few self conscious things Hiro has, the grin ranks really high. Below the hairy aspects of him, but that's a point he doesn't want to pull out when it's just the two of them alone in the woods over night. He has tact and sense to realize it's a bit of a shocker.

The little things like brushing his nose with hers makes the chance of looking like a goof bearable. Super bearable really, he's grinning harder for a second until it settles back into the warm ghost of a smile.
]

Naturally high body temperature maybe. [Which is true, but not the total sum of reasons.]

Pretty sure it's your smile though. [Which is also true to him anyways. His eyes reset their focus toward the stars clear in the night away the light pollution of the city. Clouds are sparse streaks doing nothing to disrupt the sights.

The scent of magic in itself wasn't particularly shocking. A chuck of the population was able to conduct it and more simply had the blood channeling through them. What is remarkable to Hiro is Veronica herself; the warm smiles, pleasant attitude, and good humor. It would take that to get from a mistext to here, and he's glad he replied back.

Then it may get too hot. Worthwhile theory to test

[With his higher running temperature and her warming smile on top of them being in such close contact. His fingers arch slow under the patterns drawn into his hand and open to grant easier access to lace them back together.]

Hm? Yeah, what is it?

[The stars are forgotten, his focus turned to Veronica soon as her words filter through. Talk implies and it's not short effort to bite his tongue in prodding for what was wrong. Nothing may of been wrong, there are other reasons to talk he knows; but it's a thought hard to disassociate with the word.]

[Even in the haste to explain what she meant by princess, Hiro's mind goes racing jumping to conclusions faster than Veronica can get to explaining. Then she explains removing some of the greater pressures spiking up released in a low sigh.]

A princess.

[His body shifts, fingers moving about hers as he collects his thoughts to place them in order. It's a shock, to say little, yet it isn't so much a shock to change things drastically. Veronica is still the same and that above all is what mattered.]

I almost wouldn't believe you if things hadn't played out like they have.

[He shakes his head bearing a slight amused smirk. Hitting off with mistext and lingerie lend itself to discovering she's a princess. It's so unreal that it is real. Hiro perks up after a moment and leans in to kiss her cheek with a quick peck.]

It doesn't change anything, I liked you well already. [The princess aspect really doesn't mean much to him. It never played any part before, so why should it now? His own secret however lays fresh on his mind and now, perhaps, is as good as any time to mention it.]

If we're laying things out... I should probably mention some things myself.

[At this age he shouldn't get embarrassed over anything, yet he can't help it looking her wide blue eyes that radiant heat indistinguishable from a real flame. His gaze resettles ahead thoughtful and hands twist about in hers where she sits in front of him.

He's pinned himself in speaking up about his unique condition that's frankly not too unique. Hiro isn't the only werewolf in the city, probably not even in his apartment, but there's some remaining stigma and fascination with the whole transforming into a wolf like beast that's never going to vanish.
]

To think I thought about not answering.

[He had, for a moment, but damage control and interest spurred him on. In away it's damage control again under very different circumstances.]

I'm, ah... a werewolf. [He pauses and lowers his head to watch her expression, the grip on her hands loosening in the event she suddenly broke for run under this new discover.]

So there's that. I mean I get it if it's too weird, but I was gonna tell you after this trip. [Maybe should have before to avoid the awkwardness of being alone with a werewolf suddenly.]

[Myth had a way of sticking around even in the face of progression. Hiro is use to the uncertain looks, though few, yet there's more tribulations in dating one than befriending one.

Of course she's cool with it; and it's a load off his shoulders mentally and physically when they roll back to relax.
]

At all? [She said at all, his eyes glued to hers reading the same sincerity Veronica always holds in her tone. Her hands also place a firmness in her words and make him realize to a greater degree how ridiculous it was to think it mattered in the first place.]

Guess that means nothing has changed between us. [He pulls back the warm smile last seen minutes ago before leaning forward for a kiss.]
stepinwolf: (}04)

[personal profile] stepinwolf 2015-12-24 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maybe it's some deep seeded wolf thing that makes the brush against his cheek comforting and natural feeling that his head moves into it eyes shut. They don't stay shut for long, Veronica's words widening them slow and chuckle passing his lips that's more exhale than laugh.]

That's a good thing.

[Kissing however is a better thing and before it registers, Hiro's hand is rising from hers to brush along her shoulder to her neck. Breaking for breath and whispers is customary at this point, he thinks, and he does staying close and at a slant.]

This. This is a very good thing.

[Cheesy as it comes across and he's well aware of, it's a way to summon things up in addition to actions. She to allows for the occasional goofy exposition in the same humor they tend to share.]
stepinwolf: (}08)

[personal profile] stepinwolf 2015-12-27 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
I can't choose, so both. [There really isn't an option when he's fond of both things and all things for that matter. Fingers play absent of thought at her hair laid about her neck when she moves closer. She's very close now, the realization slow on the uptake until he small her hair and feel her breath on him.

Hiro thinks himself remarkable at being patient. One of the talents that come with being a werewolf it's said and it's hold true in maintaining good standings. Like this, close and closer, he's of less patience excited by words and acceptance he'd been on the fence about in foolishness.
]

I think you're the best though. [It's no accident his nose brushes against hers before he's kissing her for another soft peck. The stars, again, are forgotten as is any chill brought on the weather and dampness.]
stepinwolf: (}07)

[personal profile] stepinwolf 2015-12-29 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it must not be that much of a coincidence.

[Funny coincidences are a plenty however and they've all been pretty good Hiro finds. His throat rumbles in contentment catching her nose and taking in another kiss, the wrap of her arms prying his eyes open curious.

The next kiss is fiercer, lingering longer and bearing down more over those soft pecks that started this.

[Heat circles from behind his neck at the sensation of her hands running about his hair. Getting hit from two sides throws his near instinct of following a pet in a tizzy before he's grounded, relatively, by the nuzzle. She gets it, the parts he doesn't get himself sometimes, and it paints a goofy smile in catching breath.]

Really, really lucky. Super lucky.

[Lunch dates and public places didn't grant itself well for passion, so heated as this is becoming; Hiro isn't opposed to continuing a bit longer. The tug at his lower lip causes his jaw to shudder in a short burst.

Perhaps it is getting too heated among straying hands and hard kisses.

[Thing about starting off with lingerie pictures and flirting is the long build up that otherwise starts later. He isn't perverted, least he thinks he isn't, but it's an undeniable truth Veronica has been present on his mind in less than pure ways.

Though that's not the majority, he's genuinely star-struck about her and how she readily accepts him. Stars and camping both are removed from the forefront of Hiro's mind. It's not a single tract, more it's over loaded by each kiss and brush of her nose.
]

I'm seeing stars. [He whispers between breaths. It's a bridge he's thought about crossing, but not here or this soon. Some fooling around wasn't that far and he's near perfected control.]

Is that a bad thing? I didn't think... thought we'd wait a bit, but I'm not opposed to doing this more. [Which gets a kiss when the point is quite obvious.]

[personal profile] stepinwolf 2016-01-01 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Location held a lot of weight in the decision, however the lack of blood flowing through his head makes decisive choices hard to follow through with. The great outdoors has it's share or romanticism like the night sky covered in stars, the flowing streams, and crisp mountain; he isn't making a good defense for waiting for them and peering in her wide blue eyes doesn't turn the jury either.]

I do. [Perplexity overtakes his expression when the situations takes a heavy gravity. He really does, in a good way to share and express love, it's just not what he imagined it would be.

Hiro's eyes shut and he hums in thought brushing his nose to hers.
]

We should wait. [They open refocused. When emotions aren't helping, logic does and he's got reasons to hold out. Valid reasons.] The tent is a bit cramped and I- well, I didn't bring anything protection wise. [It sounds like backing down for something he doesn't want to back down from.]

I mean, I want to do this, just not... here. Or that far. [They can keep kissing and heavy petting is possible, the alternative on blame for his bubbling desires.]
stepinwolf: (}04)

[personal profile] stepinwolf 2016-01-02 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Hiro expected her to be agreeable, but it still comes as a weight lifted from his shoulders. Relieve so much he draws in for a kiss to met into hers grinning at full beam. Goofiness be damned, he's in a really good mood and Veronica is amazing; the most amazing he adds mentally still recovering from the heated session.]

Good. I'd want better than a sleeping bag for you. [Although the stars are lovely as a backdrop romantically. He's plenty aware the stars are going to be forgotten on the fact of diverted attentions should they've went through with things.

Instead he's happy as it, super happy and all in for kissing more as evident by another planted to her nose for variety.
] You're making me dizzy you know? [His drier tone neither suggest joke or serious, but his expression gives him away.]
stepinwolf: (}11)

[personal profile] stepinwolf 2016-01-02 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Dizzy and at a loss for words, not as if those are mutually exclusive things. She doesn't need to do much leaning having his shirt in her hands and his abruptness to met her halfway. It's had a fair share of brushed noses when the intention wasn't so intentional.]

Let me list them. [The sparkle is a dead giveaway and given Hiro's tendency to look at her eyes, it's seen alright. He thinks; scratch that, knows she could pull anything past him with those eyes.]

For one, you're making it hard to breath. [All those kisses take a toll on his poor lungs and tender lips. He'd pout if he weren't enamored with keeping the kisses up, one for one and something thrice.]
stepinwolf: (}04)

[personal profile] stepinwolf 2016-01-03 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You're doing this on purpose.

[Thing is, it's super working. Even when he's given a chance to breath, there's remaining dizziness he can pinpoint directly to her. Laughter like yawning proves contagious and yanks a light laugh of his own.]

I forget, because I'm dizzy. [It's true. It's hard to think until this sort of pressure, but he can think to kiss her jaw back and move his hands about her.]
stepinwolf: (}07)

[personal profile] stepinwolf 2016-01-05 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[His face turns toward the side and lifts up his chin under her hands and kiss to his jaw. That dizziness isn't going to fade, least not when she's touching him persistently and making it difficult to breath; but being held up is helping.]

Think you might, my head might just fall onto to your shoulder otherwise.

[He's not even kidding, but that's more he wants to lean into her shoulder rather than being slightly dizzy.]
stepinwolf: (}03)

[personal profile] stepinwolf 2016-01-07 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[She may as well have told him to do it once those words pass, the close snuggle and setting of her face between his neck and shoulder giving Hiro an opening to do just what he suggested.]

It really is. [His voice is muffled, the scent of her shampoo clear and sweet. Sleep had some time coming yet, however if he were to sleep soon this was a very nice place to do so. Soreness would likely ensue the following morning, yet it would of been worth it.]

I could sleep here. [His arms tighten around Veronica at a slump.] I'm not falling asleep honest. [He's actually really alert to their general vicinity.]
stepinwolf: (}05)

[personal profile] stepinwolf 2016-01-08 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Don't tempt me, I really might.

[Hiro's voice calls out muffled and almost playful over dry.]

Fine. If we must. [He can't feign any drama into the response, instead he reels back some and nuzzles Veronica's cheek.]

Long as you're next to me, I won't mind. [Obviously she was and this sleeping on her shoulder isn't a good idea, but holding hands is fine and won't cause aches in the morning.]
stepinwolf: (}10)

[personal profile] stepinwolf 2016-01-10 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Under normal circumstances, he'd said he was fine and could continue the night unhindered. Alas it isn't quite normal and the whole night seems a lot longer. Still he's awake, far from drowsy, and the stars are out twinkling.]

We could watch them and lay down. [It's not an epiphany of an answer, his thoughts a bit busy with nuzzling back.]
stepinwolf: (}03)

[personal profile] stepinwolf 2016-01-11 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[It certainly makes it sound more like an epiphany with how well received it is igniting a new wave of heat to his face.]

One might be a little snug, but I wouldn't mind.

[There's just the parting part Hiro isn't too fond of at the moment. Another kiss a bit brasher than the others takes Veronica's lips as his arms unbind themselves from around her. He scoots back and rocks forward to his feet, hand up and spread.]

I've got it. [It's nothing like tossing a jacket over a mud puddle, but he's treating it with the same sort of care grabbing one of the sleeping bags and finding a flat enough spot to lay it out.] Do you... have a preferred side?

[There's a giddiness to his tone that even his held back expression and drier tendencies can't quite hide.]
stepinwolf: (}06)

[personal profile] stepinwolf 2016-01-16 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
The one closed to you.

[It's not meant to come across smooth in the first place, his hands to his waist and head pointed downward surveying the two spots with a greater importance than either really held. It is important to Hiro, an old wive's tale of what side of bed should be taken ringing in his head.]

No I will, higher body temperature. [A zipper isn't a piece of ice or unpleasant in any way, but it doesn't offer a instant answer to the question of what side instead of dwelling on an laughable small detail.

The zipper is drawn down and top flipped over to allow Veronica in first, his shows coming off in the meantime.
] Did we pack any extra pillows?
stepinwolf: (}11)

[personal profile] stepinwolf 2016-01-18 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[The offered hand pulls up romantic notions of knights and their queens, a connection he can't help but make under the new light of Veronica's heritage. It doesn't make her different much as a funny insight in how the small things run back to ancient practices of yore.]

Seems we'll have to share that as well.

[Hiro says dull bearing a thin smirk of amusement. From sharing a sleeping bag to sharing a pillow is a lot of steps, relative steps if a sleeping bad was in any way close sharing a bed.

He takes her hand lowering with her and rolling in close, his hand reaching out to pull at the zipper thrice before he manages to get a decent hold. Then it's zipped up, mostly, leaving them facing the stars and the great night sky.
]

You know, I'm glad we didn't miss this. It's actually really pretty.
stepinwolf: (}05)

[personal profile] stepinwolf 2016-01-21 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
It's the air, it's crisper.

[There's no scientific backing to his assessment, the cooler air is preference and gives reason to snuggle closer should he actually need one. His eyes blink and glance over noting the weight of her arm across him, then they're back toward the sky admiring the enumerable stars.]

Very. [Even without light pollution, he's unable to really pick out where the constellations lay. Still, it's pretty as said spanning across the dark blue skies.]

Might rent a cabin in that case, unless the great outdoors is fine to you.
