Clean-up on aisle 12 (Roy/Open)

[Roy Atenwood]

Roy smiled.

It was a beautiful day. One that was fairly typical in San Deigo. Roy didn't pay much attention to it, though the sun was shining overhead, as he had gotten fairly used to it in Long Beach before coming here from 259. He loved the weather, compared to Manhattan's, when he was at 552.

Of course, days THIS perfect brought back bad memories. He had been arrested on a day just like this, but that was neither here nor there.

He kept smiling as they entered the apartment. He had walked to the store himself, from the dorms, though they were a bit of a far walk. He didn't have to worry about leaving his bike there, he just enjoyed walking.

As for her apartment, it was nice. Just like the last time he had been in here, though that had been brief, simply waiting for her to grab something just before their date. This time, he got a better look at it. It was....nice. It really showed her personality, as most people's homes did.

Though Roy's dorm was non-descript as all hell. I did say MOST people's.

He smiled to himself as he saw her glare at a closed door. Perhaps it was the bedroom? Why sould she be glaring at it, though....? Ah, well.

"Just tell me where your kitchen is, and I'll put this stuff away for you."

The man's willpower was strong, but he was, after all, a man. Some things, men couldn't resist very well.

[Kirsty Pattinson]

Kirsty motioned to the area of the kitchen, unable to turn to look at him. She walked over to her kitchen counter then checked her messages, there was one from a friend of hers in Phoenix, one from Macy's telling her about their special offer of the week and one that turned out to be a wrong number.

Don't touch him... Don't do it.

She leaned on the counter, sticking her rear end out slightly and smirking to herself at what he could be seeing at that moment. She played with her hair as she crossed her legs, feeling her skirt lift ever so slightly.

"Thanks for helping me with my bags, I would have hated to bring them home alone."

As she spoke she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, she was taunting him now. She chewed her lip then looked out the window.

"There has to be SOMETHING I can do to repay you."

[Roy Atenwood]

Roy put the ice cream in the freezer, and put the vodka in the fridge, his hand lingering on the last bottle a little longer than it should have. He was pretty damn tempted to take a slug of the stuff, for some damn reason.

Of course, not as tempted by something else at the moment. She was defenitely teasing him, her skirt hiked up a bit. He could just about see her panties as he walked towards her, his heart hammering away in his chest.


"There has to be SOMETHING I can do to repay you."

Then that. Oh. Oh boy. She was really teasing him, wasn't she?

He smiled that devilish grin, even though he was waging an inner war all his own. He unbuttoned the top button of the white button down shirt he wore, walking towards her, his palms sweating, and his body threatenign to start shaking. He could play that game, and tease right back.

He smiled, still, leaning against the counter, himself, his shirt open enough to see some of his muscle tone, and a small amount of the gigantic cross shaped scar he bore. Inside, he was trying to keep himself together, and not throw her on the couch and have his way with her, or something, outside, his composure was perfect, and he was teasing right back.

"Hmmm......perhaps there IS something...."

He nervously licked his lips, a bit of a tell that he was falling apart on the inside, but still managing to hold his composure.

[Kirsty Pattinson]

Kirsty stood up straight, her desire ripplimg throughout her body as she saw his small bit of exposed flesh. She longed to press her lips to the cross shaped scar on his chest, she stopped herself from moving.

Oh god... Now what?

She stepped the final step between them and now her body was a centimetre from touching his, she could feel his breath on her face. Her fingertips lifted to lightly graze across his lips. She jumped up onto the counter, sitting next to him and smiled.

"And what might that... something be?"

Her eyes were trained intently on him, shining with interest and more importantly... desire. When she spoke, her voice was teasing and positively dripped with sexual tension. She couldn't help but smile. She played with her hair, drawing attention to the tight fitted shirt that she wore over her petite frame.

[Roy Atenwood]

Oh god....I didn't expect her to call my bluff, there....No idea where to go from here...time to wing it.

Roy kept his calm, cool composure on the outside, but you could cut the tension between them with a knife. He never thought he would find himself in this position, and his body shuddered involuntarily when her fingers brushed his lips.

Not knowing what to do in his mind, he let his body take over, taking her in his arms and, without a word, kissing her deeply and passionately, this time with just a little bit of tounge involved, pressing it lightly into her mouth, unable to resist any longer.

After a moment or two of this, he pulled away, very slowly. His eyes would meet hers again, and he would smile his calm, collected grin on the outside, inside his mind reeling with hundreds of different thoughts, screaming out at him what not to do.

He honestly couldn't remember the last time he kissed a woman with that much passion between the two of them. That much desire vested behind one action made him slightly dizzy, though he didn't show it.

His heart pounded, giving away how nervous he was to the girl in his arms, though his body remained calm, outwardly, at the very least.

"Hmmm.....I might have to think a litle more..."

He spoke, teasingly. After that, she would probably know damn well what he had meant, though he had been teasing at that moment.

[Kirsty Pattinson]

Kirsty let out a small breath, her heart felt like it was going to jump up into her throat. They'd kissed a few times before but the way that he'd just kissed her was much different than its predecessors. The way his tongue lightly grazed her lip both surprised her and aroused her.

Oh wow...

The second he spoke Kirsty realised that she could no longer control herself, she pressed her lips to his firmly but with a certain amount of restraint. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she lightly traced his lips with her tongue.

All she could think about was how much she wanted him, she wanted to control herself, she needed to control herself. Her stomach was doing back-flips and her heart was pounding. Her fingers reached up and knotted themselves in his hair.

[Roy Atenwood]

This was why people tended not to leave teenagers alone. They tended to go out of control, when two of the opposite sex were left alone. This was no exception. Instead of being alone on a friday, reading manga and eating ice cream, he was alone with Kirsty. In her house.

Making out.

This was the first time in a long time he had been in this position, and then again, Serenity had never made out with him. They had been sort of a novelty couple. But this, this was incredible.

He used his tounge in a simmilar manner as she had, brushing her lips lightly, but kssing her more and more passionately with each passing moment.

Oh my god...if this keeps up, we'll end up in the bedroom.....

The thoughts racing through his head quieted, and now only his body was responding to hers in full, his....shall we say, libido, at full attention, as he pressed against her, wrapping his arms around her waist as her fingers tangled in his long, red hair. He only wrapped his arms around her waist to keep his hands from wandering.

His mind started up again, screaming for him to stop, not to go too far before he did something he might regret. Even though he probably wouldn't regret it if anything more happened.

[Kirsty Pattinson]

Kirsty allowed her hands to slide down his neck and his chest, sliding her hands inside his shirt, she could feel the muscles and it just made her want him more. Running her fingertips over the scar on his chest she felt herself begin to shake.

Please don't stop!

In her mind this was all she could think, she was silently praying for him to take her into her bedroom and have his way with her, but the second this thought entered her mind was second she realised that it wouldn't happen. They barely knew each other so he wasn't likely to want her in that way yet.

She could feel his heart in his chest, pounding against his ribs. She slowly slid herself from the kitchen counter, her lips not once ever leaving his. Her tongue playing with his, teasing him. She pulled back slightly, giving him a small smile, her breath coming out in short gasps.

[Roy Atenwood]

She pulled back with a small smile. His breath was still calm, as was his outward appearance. So much of his life had been devoted to keeping calm under pressure, but he felt as if he were about to crack, the dams of self control breaking slowly down.

If he knew where her bed was, they would be in it at this point, no matter that he didn't know her very well. He knew well enough that there was mutual attraction, and the was enough for his body at the moment. Thank god his mind was screaming at him to stay in control.

And so he did.

"Wow..."

He smiled that same develish smile, still holding himself against her, thier faces scant inches apart. He couldn't stop himself from kissing her neck gently, raising his arms from her waist and rubbing her back gently, to kep his hands from wandering a bit far north, massaging gently.

His self control would break soon, if they didn't stop, and then who knew what would happen? Though he had never gone that far before, he wondered if he just might this time. She would be his first, if they did go that far.

This was why people didn't leave teenagers alone.

[Kirsty Pattinson]

Pulling away from him, Kirsty gave him a small smirk then turned, walking towards her bedroom. As she pushed the door open she turned back to him. She knew that any second now she could possibly fall to the ground, her legs were shaking so bad.

She had no idea what she could say to him, she knew what she wanted, but the most important thing was, did he? Leaning against the doorframe, she crossed her arms, sending a coy smile his way.

"So... what now?"

It was a simple, innocent question but it had a lot of meaning behind it. She knew what she meant and if he understood it in the way that she hoped, there would be a pretty good reaction. Unless she'd mistaken his signals.

Now you're being dumb... No guy kisses a girl like that without having SOMETHING on his mind!

[Roy Atenwood]

Roy smiled. Calmly. Collectedly. Not like he was about to shatter on the inside. His self control was near gone. And that left him with a question.

Should he dissapoint her and get to know her better first, or throw caution to the wind and...well, yeah. That was the major connundrum, here. Get laid or hold off on it.

And apparently, she wanted it pretty bad. Luckily for her, Roy's last shred of self control flew out the window the second she opened her bedroom door. He was what he was, and that was a man. Meaning he didn't have a lot of self control when it came to this sort of thing. And losing his virginity was appealing.

So he walked toward her, his develish smile plain for all to see. Or at least for her to see, since they were alone here. He unbuttoned his shirt the rest of the way, sure she had felt hsi scar, but she hadn't actually seen it. When he reached her, he kissed her gently, but there was quite a bit behind the kiss.

"I think we both know what happens now...."

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.....

[Kirsty Pattinson]

Kirsty takes in a deep breath, her nerves getting the better of her, her lips lightly touching his. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she pulled him into her bedroom. Her lips remained firmly attached to his as she once again knotted her fingers in his hair, her free hand on his cheek.

Oh wow...

She knew that if she didn't stop she would have a heart attack, she was trembling all over but it wasn't from fear, it was from pure lust and pure desire. She knew she wanted him, she'd only wanted someone this much once before but he was no longer that part of her life.

Jack...

The second his name popped into her head, Kirsty's stomach began to do backflips. Jack had been the one person she'd truly cared about, it seemed like a lifetime ago that she was close to him. She had seen him for the first time in over a year, a little more than a week ago and already he had her thinking about him.

She had known when he left that he had left a lasting impression on her. She cared for him, but she knew that she would have to forget him. And Roy was the perfect example of her being able to get on with her life without Jack.

[Roy Atenwood]

Roy being with Kirsty was another example of someone getting on with thier life. Her fingers in his hair, her lips on his.

Serenity....I have to move on now.

He closed the bedroom door behind them, and that's as far as we'll go for now. Yes, people, they're having sex. They're teenagers. They're alone. What the hell do you expect? Pattycake?

Surely, there's not all that groaning, grunting, and moaning in frikkin pattycake.

--------------------------------------------------

Some time later, it was starting to get dark. They had been at it for quite a while, until they were both exhausted, it seemed. He lay in the bed, more thoughts than he was comfortable with running through his head, but a silly, boyish grin on his face.

It had been his first time, going that far. Yeah, he had done...other things. And he was good with his fingers, so to speak, but he had never actually done THAT before.

It had been incredible, for him at least. The symphony of two bodies moving as one. Her nails down his back, leaving deep red marks that would probably take a few days to heal all the way.

Fucking incredible. No pun intended.

He smiled, snuggling up to her, and planting a kiss on the side of her neck. He thought, maybe, he was already falling for her. He was really looking forward to taking her to Tokyo.

[Kirsty Pattinson]

Kirsty bit her lip and smiled, it had been a while since she'd done it with a person she cared for, it had been refreshing... Among other things. She giggled slightly to herself, closing her eyes when she felt Roy's lips to her slender neck.

She was tender, but that was to be expected, it had been some months since her last sexual interaction and even that had been when she was drunk. She was sober now, she'd known exactly what she was doing and she didn't regret it, not one bit.

Tracing the scar on his chest with her fingertips, she lightly placed a soft kiss to it. As if she thought that somehow it would erase it completely, but when her icy blue eyes opened once more, it was still there and it would always remain.

As she gazed at the face of the man she'd just been so intimate with, she felt a certain fondness that she couldn't describe. She cared for him, that much was true but there was a certain pang, something that she couldn't place.

"So... How are you feeling?"

Kirsty spoke softly, her voice hushed. He had been a virgin, a fact that surprised her completely. She'd never had a sober interaction with a virgin before, the only other inexperienced man she'd ever slept with was Magnus, that had been just another drunken encounter.

Things are going to be different this time...

[Roy Atenwood]

He felt...well, incredible. Life was good, at this particular moment. Losing one's virginity usually left them with a sort of glow about them, and Roy was no exception. Instead of hte usualy, devilish smile, he was stuck with a slightly silly, boyish grin.

"I feel great...."

His back ached from dozens of scratches, but in a good way. He relished the feel of her lips against the skin of his chest, kissing his scar. The closeness, the intimacy.

He had never been this intimate before, and the tension between the two felt like it had melted not unlike butter. Melted into some sort of hazy goo that made everything feel awesome.

Yes, Roy was sort of high on life at the moment. Endorphines, or something, had made life seem so grand in that one moment, that he relished every breath he took for the moment. He didn't want this moment to end.

Can't let myself fall for her just yet, though. I wish it was that easy.....but then again....gah.....at least I think I'm finaly over Serenity.

He smiled, and kissed her gently. Life was damned good at the moment.
