[Elizabeth shivers--so perhaps Gai's first attempt at dirty talk didn't quite go over as planned, but the straightforwardness seems to have hit home this time.]

[She tilts her head into Gai, her body shifting subtly into a more sensual tension as it starts to take renewed interest in intimacy.]

You say that... as though it's some feat I accomplish on my own. But it's because you stretch me so much. [Elizabeth tilts her head down so she can put a kiss on Gai's neck.] I've felt empty for a while now, you know.

[Gai is very rapidly coming to the realization that he loves hearing dirty talk from Elizabeth even more than he enjoys using it on her. Perhaps it's because she seems so innocent in so many ways, so to hear those things coming from her mouth make it that much more exciting.

All he knows is that he wants more of it.]

We can fix that pretty easily.

[Sensing that shift, he pulls her a bit closer, arching his hips up just enough to brush his erection between her legs, but not enough to give that firmer pressure that he knows she wants.]

Tell me how I feel inside you. I want to hear you say it.

[Elizabeth gasps quietly at the contact, and she's satisfied with that for the moment. She doesn't want it all at once, that would be too easy after all.]

[She grins and shifts her shoulders back and forth as she looks down at Gai. Cheeky little pretty boy, wasn't he?]

Hard, and cool. [She bites her lip and considers a bit longer, like she's withholding a secret.] But it's not just what you feel like resting inside of me. It's when you slide in and slide out that I feel... stretched, and sensitive, and wanted. I feel like I belong to you, and like you're giving yourself to me too.

I feel like I can't open myself any wider to you. And yet I can never get enough. I know I could stick anything inside of myself and feel the most basic of sensations, but it's you that makes me feel like there's a fire where we're joined, like I never want you to stop thrusting into me.

[That... was far more than Gai was expecting, and he's pretty sure it was also the most erotic thing he's ever heard in his life. Knowing that he can please her that much makes him happy, that it's him she wants and not just the sex itself. Not that he should really have any reason to doubt that, but deep down inside he's still a bit insecure about this whole relationship thing and whether or not he can really be what she wants.

Hearing this goes a long way towards assuaging those fears.]

I want you more than I've ever wanted anyone or anything in my life. You turn me on without even trying... I've never felt anything like it before. Being inside of you feels like the most natural thing in the entire world, and I never want it to end. I could stay that way for hours if it were possible.

Nothing I've ever had before even comes close to being with you.

[As Gai talks, Elizabeth's coy and come-hither grin smooths out into a smile that comes out of pure affection.]

I can think of something that feels almost the same as being with you. [She arranges Gai's hair, brushing it off of his shoulders and onto the couch with one finger.] It was the first time I had heard live music. The moment took hold of me, and I felt like I couldn't do anything wrong. I felt like I wanted to fly, and I spread my arms out and danced like I might do that.

That's how I feel, every time you touch me, or look at me. Every time I see you.

I think that's what being in love feels like.

[He slides his arms around the small of her back to pull her even closer to him, nuzzling at her collarbone as she plays with his hair. He still can't believe he even has this at all-- always, in the back of his mind, there's a fear that one day he's going to wake up, that all of this has just been a wonderful dream.]

And I'd be willing to die a million times if it meant I got to be with you like this.

[It's frightening, almost, being this honest with her... with anyone. But this too feels right.]

Maybe you already have. [Elizabeth lets her legs fold when Gai pulls her down, and she sits easily on his hips and enjoys the attention on her neck.]

There are a million worlds, as infinite as the number of variables in the life of one individual. Who's to say you haven't died a million times, or... will die a million times...

[She gets a strange, scared look on her face that she tries to bury quickly.] And... of those million Gais and million Elizabeths-- [She forces a small laugh.] --we were brought together. Maybe because our scattered lives were hard enough lived only once through, and so we needed each other. And happiness. Finally.

[At first, Gai isn't sure how to react to that sentiment. He's seen enough here in Luceti to be able to believe in the idea of alternate universes by now, but that's still a depressing thought. Millions of worlds and versions of himself, and all of them were miserable? It wouldn't surprise him - since destiny or fate or even evolution itself seemed to have it out for him - he just isn't sure he wants to be thinking about that now or ever.

From the look on her face, Elizabeth doesn't seem very happy about that thought either. So Gai just freezes, holding her awkwardly, not quite sure where to go from here.]

Guess we should count ourselves lucky for that much.

[So this was impressive in a terrible, awful way.]

[Elizabeth could almost be intrigued by how fast she appears to have cooled Gai down. Not that she blames him, she should have played that back in her head before saying anything. But Gai bringing up dying a million times, Elizabeth's forays into different worlds, Robert's insistence that she saved so many versions of herself from Comstock by doing something repulsive... they all conspired to take over her thoughts.]

It's... only a theory. I read about it once. It could be completely wrong. [Except that it wasn't. She pushes those doubts away by leaning down and kissing Gai softly. To distract both of them.]

If this is the only moment we have in the entire span of time and interdimensionality-- [~~Totally a word.~~] --I shouldn't waste it on theories. I'm sorry.

[Gai does return that kiss, though it's notably lacking in passion compared to just a few moments earlier. It's... okay, it's a logical thought to have, yes, but that's exactly the problem. It's far too logical a train of thought for something as emotional as sex, and to be honest, Gai isn't sure it's a train of thought he wants to ever be on.

His life is over. It's all done. Whatever may become of him in countless other universes doesn't really matter-- never did really matter, because he wouldn't know about it. He could've lived his entire life here without that knowledge and been perfectly content.

But now it's in his mind, and now he's thinking about it, and the more he does so, the faster his arousal dies.]

I don't give a damn about other universes or other versions of us or anything like that. None of them matter. The only thing that matters is the you and me who are right here, right now.

It's just a theory, I swear! [Elizabeth feels sick lying to Gai, but she's so desperate to smooth out the situation that she's saying anything.] It's ridiculous anyway--a new world being created from every single decision? It would be insane, where would they all be kept?

Gai-- [Elizabeth laces her fingers through his hair.] Gai, even if there were a million of you, I know I would find you. Over and over again. Because... because...

[Uncharacteristically, she's lost for words. Then she takes one of Gai's hands away from her back and plants his palm, very deliberately, on her breast.] Because we're a fit for each other. I fit in your hand, your hand fits me. We aren't meant to be apart, if there's only one of each of us or ten million. I wouldn't let us be apart, I know that.

[She squeezes Gai's hand tightly, trying to hang on, trying to swallow the lump in her throat. She won't let them be apart, she won't.]

[The look on Gai's face shifts from uncertainty to surprise when Elizabeth takes his hand and plants it right on her breast. It's such a strange thing to do that he almost wants to laugh, yet at the same time, he'd been the one who had said that very thing to her, about how she fit his hands perfectly. And it was true; just a slight movement of his hand and he's cupping her in his palm and it feels so right, like she really was made to fit him.

Not just physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. She understood all of the parts of him he'd never shown anyone else, she knew when to back off and not ask questions, and she knew when he needed her. Maybe he is broken. But Elizabeth filled in all of those holes and made him feel more complete than he ever had in his life.]

I've already defied the universe once. What's one more time compared to that, or even a dozen more times? It's not like the world could do anything worse to me than it already has.

[He presses a kiss to her shoulder.]

I would tear the very fabric of the universe itself if it meant I could stay with you.

I would too. Maybe even twice. [She laughs a little, covering Gai's hand with hers just so she can feel him there. Perfect fit, and his hand was so warm.]

If there are millions and millions of possibilities out there in all of time and space, I can only be grateful to all of those worlds. They pulled two threads out of an endless tapestry and tied them together, and what would the odds of that be? They gave me freedom, and love, and that was all I wanted in the end.

[She tries for another kiss, but she's very tentative about it. Feeling Gai kiss her with half a heart was terrible, she'd rather he come to her if he's ready.]

[This time Gai does kiss her back, not with raging passion but with considerably more desire than his last kiss. He's slowly getting there; a little more like this and he'll be ready to go again. Just this quiet intimacy is going a long way towards that goal, too.]

That's a pretty romantic image. [And he smiles.] Where I come from, we have a legend about destined lovers being connected by a red string. It's said that the gods tie the string to the little fingers of two people who are destined to meet so that they'll be sure to find each other some day. The thread can tangle or stretch, but it will never break.

Maybe there wasn't any coincidence to it after all.

I like that legend. [Elizabeth holds up her right hand, the one with the thimble, then grins and holds up her left.] I guess mine is tied to this one, then?

[Still smiling, Gai lifts his own hand so he can hook his pinky with hers.]

This is the first time I've ever really put much stock in it myself.

[Elizabeth isn't familiar with the gesture, but she's thrilled by it anyway. She's never been one for myths or fairy tales except purely as fiction. But they were brought to a different place entirely, not on Earth, from years apart. If there was such a thing as a red string that tied people together, theirs was terribly long and very persistent.]

[She grins and tugs Gai's hand over towards her and kisses where their fingers are joined.]

[Now Gai laughs, dropping a kiss against her hair as she kisses their hands. This is more like it, that comfortable feeling of just being close to each other, even if it's not in the way he'd been hoping for before they got sidetracked like this.]

Consider this a promise. No matter what happens, we'll come find each other.

No matter what, I promise. [That would be an easy enough promise for her to keep. She'd rip open the world to find Gai, and she wouldn't have to rest until she found him.]

[Elizabeth runs her other hand over Gai's collarbone and holds his gaze for a moment.] I interrupted what we were doing. Can you lie back so I can make it up to you?

[This prompts another raise of Gai's eyebrows, but unlike the last time, it's clear from the look on his face that this one isn't negative in the slightest.]

How could I say no to an offer like that?

[And he shifts a bit, turning himself sideways so that he can do what she asked and lie down on the couch, grey eyes fixed intently on her. He actually isn't sure what she has in mind right now, which just makes it all the more appealing to him.]

[Well... it's nothing terribly heated or racy--yet. Elizabeth lays down next to Gai, intending to rekindle his desire for her slowly. Naturally.]

[She starts with one arm around him, her other resting on his shoulder. And she just kisses him--lips, jaw, neck, ear, shoulder... she seems intent to explore every part of Gai with her lips.]

[When she kisses his lips, he chases after that kiss, wanting to keep it going for a while longer. In a strange way, that little interruption has actually made him feel closer to her; this gentle, soft kissing is stoking that flame within him once again far faster than anything more intense would.

Gentle and loving, and he lifts his own hand to run up and down her back as she does this, just encouraging her.]

[After she makes it down Gai's sternum, she shuffles back up to Gai to continue kissing him in earnest. Maybe because of his hands comforting her as she tries to pull Gai away from the dark place she inadvertently led them to. Maybe because Elizabeth loves kissing his lips.]

[After a few more kisses, she tries to deepen it with a little slip of tongue. Her fingers still trace over Gai's shoulders.]

Be honest... if you could have me do anything right now, what would it be?

[Elizabeth is welcome to love kissing his lips all she wants-- he has no objections to this whatsoever, as she'll no doubt be able to tell by the way he's returning those kisses now. The heat is returning to his responses, slowly at first but then with increasing speed when she deepens that kiss and adds tongue to the mix.

He's so into it that he almost whines a little when she pulls away to speak to him.]

Anything at all?

[Elizabeth hesitates for a moment, because she can almost hear the mischief in his voice.]

...yes, anything at all. [She asked--too late for caveats now. Besides, whatever Gai wants, Elizabeth is sure she'll enjoy doing it for him.]
