[He's probably testing his luck with this. No, more like he knows he is, but he's so content and comfortable and just in love that he's willing to risk it.]

... I assume that's where you got that line about devouring you. I guess I can't take any points off for that, since I did say it was all right to quote those in the bedroom.

What?! [Elizabeth looks horrified and embarrassed.] No! I thought... I thought you liked that. You were kissing me... very ferociously.

[She shifts a little.] ...maybe it was where I got it. Subconsciously. Entirely subconsciously.

[She probably won't be too pleased by the fact that Gai's response to this is to laugh.

To laugh, and to pull her close for another kiss to show that he did indeed like it just fine, even if it was a bit on the silly side. It was so very Elizabeth that he can't help but love it.]

[Yes, she isn't terribly pleased that he's laughing. Elizabeth frowns and puts a finger over Gai's lips before he can land on hers.]

Well, if you think it's so funny... [She smirks.] Maybe I won't do it next time.

You can do whatever you want-- you won't hear any complaints from me.

[And then, because he's in a particularly devilish mood, he just rocks his hips the tiniest bit to tease her.]

Nnh... [Elizabeth winces--she's very sensitive down there now, that particular area has gotten more traffic than ever in the past hour.]

[She whines and pushes back a little so she can look at Gai.] That isn't exactly a ringing endorsement, though.

[Gai catches that look on her face and that wince, and his own expression turns immediately apologetic.]

... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. Here--

[Carefully he moves to slide out so that he can't accidentally jostle things around down there and cause any pain to overstimulated areas.

Of course she's going to be sore, Gai, this was her first time.

-- ah. There's the guilt. The guilt, and the worry that he's in over his head and has just been fooling himself into thinking that he's capable of really being with someone.]

[Elizabeth winces more as Gai pulls out of her, and really even when he's all the way out she doesn't look too happy. She feels empty, and her hip hurts too.]

[But even though they're separated now, Elizabeth doesn't want the warmth to stop. She wraps an arm around Gai's waist and presses herself close again.] No, it's alright. I think it hurts more without you inside me... [She groans and rests her forehead against Gai's cheek.] You had better not be expecting me to move anytime soon.

[Her clinging to him like that reassures him enough to smile a little, though it's more subdued than it was before.]

Don't worry, I'm not. But I am going to need to get up for a moment.

[Then, quickly, to let her know that it's not because of her in the slightest:]

I need to take this off, and I'll get you something to clean up with. I promise I'll be right back.

[... in a moment. Because that requires moving, and moving requires muscle coordination, which is something he's rather lacking right now.]

Right now? [Elizabeth pouts up at Gai and buries herself closer against him.] I'll freeze to death.

[By all accounts, she probably should already be freezing to death. Gai was only touching about half of her skin, after all. Elizabeth thinks dimly that she's probably equating feeling safe and loved with feeling warm. Or it could be the adrenaline.]

I'll bring another blanket back with me.

[He gives her a quick squeeze, kissing her forehead again and smoothing a few errant strands of hair away from her face.]

But I don't think it's going to feel very pleasant to be cuddling when you've got a sticky mess down there.

[That was totally his fault and he is fairly proud of it, but he's sure it can't be comfortable now that they're no longer engaged in the act.]

That's not what I need. [She keeps pouting, but closes her eyes with Gai kisses her and squeezes him back.]

[Though now that he mentions it... she does feel a little uncomfortable down there. How absolutely bizarre--it felt like the most sensual thing in the moment, and now Elizabeth's skin is crawling as she cools down.]

...Maybe I do need a sponge bath though.

That can be arranged.

[As reluctant as he is to separate from her, at last he sits up, rolling over and off the bed to go take care of those few matters. At least he won't be gone long; it's just a couple of minutes before he returns, blanket draped over one arm (just as he'd promised) and a damp washcloth in his hand.

... he can't quite resist the urge to unfold the blanket and just dump it over her head, though.]

[While he's gone, Elizabeth winces until she can sit upright. She looks around the room, tucks her hair behind her ear--]

[Ah, where had Gai's carnation got to?]

[Elizabeth scans the bed and then the floor, finally spotting it to her left. It probably fell out during the excitement. She tucks it back behind her ear just as Gai comes back... and dumps the blanket on her head.]

[Which earns him an indignant noise, and a very ruffled-looking Elizabeth once she pulls it off her head.] Gai! I'm not that cold!

[But he's already moving to settle himself back onto the bed; no sooner does he get within reach of her than he's reaching out to slip his hand behind the back of her head and tug her into a playful kiss, pulling away just enough to let out a little laugh before diving back in again.

He couldn't help it, that face was too cute. He'll just blame the afterglow for his sudden desire to be downright ridiculous.]

[Well... she supposes she can forgive him. But only because Gai is being so sweet! Only because of that.]

[Elizabeth kisses back, keeping things light and playful. And then when there's a pause, she throws the blanket over both their heads.]

[Two can play at that game, Elizabeth. He may not be able to see anything but blanket in front of him right now, but that doesn't mean he can't reach around and...

... find a good place to tickle. Granted, it's probably not quite as effective as it would be if that blanket weren't in the way, but it's the thought that counts.]

[That's unexpected. Elizabeth squirms and gives a startled cry, then tries to grab Gai's hands to stop the tickling. She also tries to get out of range by, well, sliding closer to Gai. Whoops.]

[As fun as this may be, Elizabeth grabbing his hands gives him the message that maybe he needs to settle down a bit. She's probably tired, and he still needs to clean her up-- and speaking of tired, he's starting to feel pleasantly fuzzy himself.]

All right, all right, I'll stop. I brought the washcloth, just like I said I would.

[Shaking the blanket off, he holds it up to show her.]

Do you want me to take care of it, or would you rather do it yourself?

[Elizabeth pulls the blanket off as well, her hair going in all sorts of fun directions. She laughs and fixes her carnation.]

Oh... [Elizabeth looks at the cloth, surprised by Gai's offer. Well... that actually might be nice. Intimate and nice. And given Elizabeth is dead exhausted, she's fairly certain that her body would give up and scream if she even thought about another round.]

Is it... odd for one person to clean their partner? [She looks a bit bashful, but it's probably clear from her smile what she's thinking of asking for.]

[... oh. That's... ridiculously adorable. Gai's smile softens into something genuine and loving, but before she can ask him what he's looking at, he reaches out with his free hand to smooth her hair down.]

Not at all.

[At least, he doesn't think it's odd. Not that he really knows how two people behave in a relationship, but it seems like an intimate thing to do, and besides, he's the one responsible for it in the first place. Elizabeth shouldn't have to worry about doing any of the work, not after he's no doubt worn her out.]

Alright then. [She leans against the hand fixing her hair.] I think I'd like you to do it, then.

[She lays back down next to Gai and parts her legs again. It's probably going to look less awkward if Gai helps her too, now that she thinks about it. And even if Gai was gone for just a minute, Elizabeth wants to restore that close feeling they had right after they had finished.]

[Meanwhile, Gai settles himself on his side next to her and reaches down with the hand holding the washcloth. He starts out gently, just wiping her inner thighs clean, not wanting to venture too close to parts that are still no doubt very sensitive after all of that action. He wasn't exactly the most gentle and he knows it.]

Tell me if anything I do is uncomfortable.

Mm... [Elizabeth curls up close to Gai, closing her eyes and practically purring as Gai cleans her. It's very intimate, and it's very soothing. She nuzzles Gai's chest, enjoying the warmth that's radiating off of Gai's body.]

[Once he's certain that she's all right with it, he ventures a little higher. He keeps his touch light; the last thing he wants is to accidentally send the wrong message and make her think that he wants another round. Not that he wouldn't enjoy it, but he's pretty sure that she's too tired and sore to even think about doing it again.]

It doesn't hurt?

[The implication here is clear: Was I too rough?]
