Circling the Nest [Open]

[Owain]

"Well you invited a guy into your bed...so no," Owain added tactlessly, laughing as he was pummelled by the pillow. Growing up with a sister, Felicity must have been used to such antics. He reached out to wrap her in a hug, to pin her arms and stop her assault of him. "Now now, no need for violence," he said, smirking at her. ANd then he realized the position they were in and immeidately released her, blushing furiously. That was WAY too forward.

After stabilizing the ship, Oka sat back into the chair. Would this chaos ever end? Probably. He couldn't rest, not now. Too many things going on. It wasn't loud, but Oka could hear the two talking and Felicity raising her voice. Called him a loser. That's mean... he thought. He forgot all about the tracker Glyph had thrown on the ship. Its a shame he isn't here by now, he thought again. He kept on watching his trail in space for stars and asteroids.

[Felicity Mason]

It was difficult to look fierce when you were blushing and stammering like an idiot, still, somehow Felicity managed to do all that while some give Owain a look that could almost pass for scary. Almost.

"Why are you blushing? W-what? Forgot about our date already? You've been closer than this before, you know. I-Idiot."

She tightened her grip on the pillow, reaching up to hit him with it once again. He was acting like that kiss never happened. He was so stupid...

[Owain]

The pillow to the face brought him back to now and he couldn't help but nervously laugh. "Oh, so that's what you want?" he said in between laughs as the girl continued to assault him. "Well, how could I refuse?" he asked with a smirk, leaning in to plant a quick kiss on her lips. Oh yes, that would make her absolutely livid.

[Felicity Mason]

She dropped her pillow, looking him right in the eye, speechless. She should be really angry with him. Should be. But she wasn't.

It was only a kiss. Only a kiss. Just a kiss. Means nothing.

She was leaning in, even as she thought that, unable to stop herself now. Any moment, she would return the kiss.

Means absolutely nothing...

[Owain]

And then she leaned in for another. Hmmm. Alright, hadn't been expecting that, Owain though as he tasted her lips again, shifting on the bed to let one hand run up her side. Teenage hormones. So much for thinking straight for a while. Still, it felt nice to be sharing something so intimate again...

His hand came to rest on her hip, gently bringing her closer to him.

[Feena]

(Ignore me)

 

[Felicity Mason]

Teenage hormones indeed. She'd kissed him like this before. Before she had Glyph to kiss. What would he say if he saw this? Would he be hurt? Probably. Love was supposed to hurt though, right? That's what all the holodramas said at least.
She pulled away for a moment, catching her breath as she ran her fingers through his hair. Somehow this didn't feel wrong though.

Only a kiss, she reminded herself, it's only a kiss...

[member="Owain"]

 

[Owain]

She was running her fingers through his hair. She was blushing. He was so aware of her breathing, of what it did to her chest...

Owain leaned in to kiss her neck to distract himself from looking. Classy.

[member="Felicity Mason"]

 

[Felicity Mason]

Oh. This again. Was this okay too? Last time he did this, she got in trouble. But mom wasn't there. She couldn't tell her what to do our what not to do. But did that mean she should do this? She remembered that strange sensation she felt the last time he kissed her neck like this. Here it was again. She couldn't help but sigh out loud in response.
This feeling still felt so foreign. Glyph was never this forward. Glyph never did this. Sometimes he would let her kiss him. That was all.

She slid her hands down through his hair, trailing across the back of his neck. Owain was the experienced one here. He knew what he was doing. Felicity on the other hand had only her few experiences to go on.

[member="Owain"]

 

[Owain]

Her hands trailed down, to his neck. Ready to throttle him if he went too far, a part of his mind noted. Pity that pushing her too far was their game. One he liked winning. And it had been a while since they played. Hmmm, maybe time to heat things up? She was a princess, he knew she'd snap before he crossed a line.

So he let his hand slide up her body from her up, up to the edge of the dress she wore. He gnetly tugged it down to bare her shoulder as he planted a trail of kisses lower and lower.

[member="Felicity Mason"]

 

[Felicity Mason]

Was she supposed to do something too? Maybe rub his back? She could kiss his head from this angle. Was that a good idea? Would it do anything? She felt so awkward here. She was shivering. Did it get colder? No, her shoulders were exposed.

... how did that happen?

"Owain..." she groaned, shivering under his kisses, "what are you..?"

[member="Owain"]

 

[Owain]

Her question. The uncertainty. The underlying fear. That was an icy lance that struck him and parted the haze of lust enough for him to blink and realize what he was doing. He felt his face flush. Oh this is all kinds of wrong. Dammit Owain, stop thinking with your lower head before it gets you killed! He slowly put her dress back over her shoulders before rolling out of the bed, crashing into the floor. The sharp pain certainly helpd clear his head.

"Ow." Tactful as ever. He stayed there for a moment before pushing himself up. "S-sorry," he said, eyes lowered. He had forgotten. She was too new to all this, too sheltered. She wouldn't push back after a certain point because she'd be too lost in the new. And he'd taken advantage of that. Shame burned his cheeks as he coughed into his hand. He really hoped the ship had some sort of showers. Or at least a sink where he could dunk his head under some cold water for a while.

[member="Felicity Mason"]

 

[Felicity Mason]

And then just like that he pulled away. Why? Did she do something wrong? Was she truly that terrible that he wanted to scurry away from her as fast as he could? And here she thought she was doing alright. Well. That showed how much she knew. This was a dance she did not know. How strange. She learned so much during her lessons at the academy. But why wasn't there a class about this? It did seem like a terribly useful thing to know.

"Are you okay?"she asked awkwardly, pulling her knees to her chest, "did I... mess up?"

It wouldn't be the first time she screwed everything up. She was almost an expert at being a failure.

[member="Owain"]

 

[Owain]

He gulped as he shuddered. This wasn't fair, she couldn't be that cute. "N-no. J-just...I forget you're still new at this," he replied tersely, shifting awkwardly. Aw hell. Forget the cold water, he was going to need ice for this. "S-so as the more...experienced it falls to me to...ah...be midnful of certain boundaries," Owain manaeged to get out, offering the girl a weak smile. "L-like you learned everything else - s-small steps right?"

[member="Felicity Mason"]

 

[Felicity Mason]

Like father like daughter, the girl tilted her head to the side as he struggled to explain himself. What was he getting at? It was only a kiss... with a bit more touching, yes, but a kiss none the less. Was he worried it might be more? He didn't seem the type to be concerned about that. Or was it that he didn't want to... 'do that ' with her? Was it the force powers that made him so afraid?

"boundaries?" She asked, crawling forward until she was at the edge of the bed, "i thought that was the point of coming out here? No boundaries. No rules. Just you, me, and anything we could ever imagine. "

She was so naive.

[member="Owain"]

 

[Owain]

Oh boy. This angle was not helping him calm down, with her on all fours on the bed, looking up at him in curiosity. He pinched the bridge of his nose as he spoke. "Yes, but I can imagine a lot more things than you...and it's not fair to you to act when I have a great knowledge of things..." he muttered, trying his best to explain things. She was so naive, it would be taking advantage of her! That thought disturbed him greatly. "Also....well, aren't you a year or two too young before crossing those boundaries?" he pointed out, sheepishly.

[member="Felicity Mason"]

 

[Felicity Mason]

He was resisting... out of respect? That did not seem like him. She wanted to laugh, but there was really nothing funny about it. He thought she was too young. She was fifteen now! Not the little fourteen year old child he'd met before! She'd had her birthday a month ago! It made a difference!

"I'm young, but I'm not a child," she insisted, still leaning over the bed, "Or is it that you just don't like me? I thought.... the kiss, I thought you wanted me."

Now she was really confused. She kept telling herself it was only a kiss, but now she found herself admitting that it wasn't. Not to her. When was she going to get her feelings straight?

[member="Owain"]

 

[Owain]

"Oh I want you alright," he muttered before realizing he was speaking.Wow, with moves like that he really should be a gravedigger. Could he dig himself any deeper? "What I mean is...intimacy complicates things if not handled right....best we talk things out first and have some sort of rules for that, just in case," Owain quickly suggested. This topic was new for him. But at least she'd had the Talk, he was certain.

[member="Felicity Mason"]

 

[Felicity Mason]

Her eyes narrowed at his explanation. Complicated things? How could it? She still didn't quite understand what he meant. Boys were so confusing. This completely went against everything she'd been warned about by her mother. 'Young men only want one thing from you, Felicity.' Yet here she was, almost offering herself up, and Owain was treating her like a Lady.

"...I was wrong about you," she said after a moment, laying back on the bed with a sigh, "And I think my Mother and Father would very much approve of you if they knew what just happened. You really are a nice guy."

She gave him a little smile, patting the space next to her.

"I do still mean what I said before, by the way. I want you to be my first. Now more than ever, but... maybe not for a while."
