Perhaps getting lost by the passion like he was, Rayl responded to his kiss just as passionately, surprisingly. It was...quite a pleasantly stimulating surprise, actually. Leo didn't think that he'd enjoy it this much, it was supposed to simply show how he loved her so, he didn't plan to actually get succumbed in the action and needing more of her body like this. After be broke the kiss and asked her such a question however, Leo is beginning to regret his actions.
This feeling right now is, ironically, similar to how he felt from the first time he encountered the ice maiden; scared the crap out of his life. Before, it was because of how he seriously thought she might kill him in his sleep. Right now however, it's due to the fear of how she will respond to him, funnily enough. What if she declined? What if she turned him down? What if she backed away from him and completely rejected him? Countless fears began to clutter his normally composed thoughts, his eyes even looked worried as he waited anxiously for her response.
'Is she....alright...with me shoving myself like this towards her...' He's beginning to loose hope by the many amount of negative possibilities playing out in his head, and Leo was just about to pull himself away from her to apologize for demanding such a thing from her, but that's when Rayl's hand moved towards his face, tracing the contours of his features as if she's inspecting an art piece. Then her lips finally parted, gracing him with her answer.
With that, a light sparked in his blue eyes, the same moment it became somewhat glassy in the light. He blinked once, then twice, and that's when he felt his throat being constricted. 'I'm so happy I could cry...? Really.' He mused in his thoughts, a smile growing in his lips. Unconsciously, he nodded, as if saying thank you to her for accepting him, for he has no voice at the moment with the condition of his frozen throat to do anything vocal. His hand shakily reached up behind her head, admiring her beautiful face up-close as he stroke her hair fondly.
"..Mine...." His voice wavered, barely passing a whisper, as he then planted a kiss on the center of her forehead. A gentle peck on her nose next. A meaningful smile comes after that, almost as if signalling her that he might not be as gentle, with how he had tasted her lips just now and it looks too inviting for him to pass up. His posture changed, instead of meekly dipping his head down, Leo leaned his whole upper body forward very close to her, causing their bodies to shift further inside the shower room.
The kiss they shared thereafter, were unlike their former experimentations. In fact, Leo couldn't hide his evoked needs any longer and they ended up backing further and further in the shower until the mist of the cold vapours enveloped both of their bodies, as if Rayl had summoned a protective layer of security around them.

Rayl watched his eyes shining in a different glint; simply nodding at her answer, she smiled as she could hear him whispering the word 'Mine'. Yes, she was his now... and so was he to her. She closes her eyes as a kiss planted on her forehead, and a peck from nose. Opening her eyes as she saw the meaningful smile, something from that smile meant something... and now, she isn't that dense to not noticed.
As Leo leaned his upper body forward, so close to her; this made Rayl's heart skip a beat, her stomach churned in deep anticipation. Both of their bodies shifting further and further at the shower until their bodies were drained by the shower head. Her back is leaning at the wall, though she didn't mind the cold damp at her back as Leo's body is close to her. The water dripping down from the shower head have soak Leo's hair and his clothing. She looked up from Leo, her cheeks showing a tint of red, "L-Leo..." she breathed out, her arms still on his shoulders; she look at his clothing. Should she?
"Your clothes are soaking wet now... Should I?" she asks, her arms sliding it's way at the hem of his shirt; gently tugging it up and pulling it out at his body. She laughed, so sudden, she thought of what she said; she was asking the brown haired lad, but then she instantly take his shirt off. "Well.. I guess, I shouldn't have asked that..." she murmured, shaking her head at her thought; she looked at Leo, her arms leaning again at his shoulders as she throw the soaking shirt away near them.

Like moving in to prey on a predator, he cornered her against the wall with eyes told of all the things he's capable to do at the moment. He never minded the water from the showerhead wetting the top of his head as he locked his palms on against the tiles at each of her sides, for the first time feeling like he's in charge. It's a strange feeling, like he's in control, something he never had a chance to experience beforehand. It's...tempting him to try more.
Leo was just planning on the spots where he will be planting kisses to as he stared down on Rayl's glistening body, only to be distracted by the ice maiden's sudden question. "Huh?" His eyebrows shot up high, feeling her arms around his neck moving to play with the collar of his shirt, and within a blink of an eye, already pulled the whole thing off. "Wh--?" He glanced down, seeming to just registered what happened and immediately bursts out a singular airy laugh in surprise, "Rayl...!" He choked.
At Rayl's statement after that, he laughed again, dropping his head low to suppress his voice. She welcomed him with her arms around his shoulders, playfully tossing his shirt away and at that, he shook his head with smile. "My body's not as attractive though, sorry if I got your hopes up for nothing," he said with a speck of disappointment and shrugged. Comparing himself with Rayl's rather graceful yet strong figure, he almost wanted to shrink down in frustration. Though then, his eyes lit up. "In fact, let me show you the parts I'm proud of."
With that, he reached up for her wrist on his shoulder and directs her hand to a particular spot at the side of his stomach, where a burn scar could be seen. It looks like a part of his skin has turned white by the burn, but Leo proudly revealed it to the ice maiden. "My first scar. An accident when piloting a machine back in Gradia." Then, he directed her other hand around his hip to at the back of his torso, "Childhood accident. Bully and a crowbar involved. Ruptured disc. Replaced with metal."
Then he simply rests his arms on Rayl's shoulder, as her hands are around his hips now. "I'd show you more, if you want, but they're covered by my pants at the moment. How inconvenient." A playful smile is on his lips again as he relaxed, "But we can do it like this too, if you want. It's your element." Leo looked at her complacently, with them both being covered in water like this.

She look at Leo, his eyes and voice has a tinge of disappointment from his body. She look up from his body, her hands tracing his collarbone. "Don't be, Leo..." she murmured, her fingers trailing it down to his leaned chest. His body is not those of muscular men with abs and such. It was just slim and lean...
But then, she suddenly look up when Leo offered to show some parts he was proud of; and his eyes lit up, making her simply smiled and nodded.
With everywords Leo spoke and they way his hand directed hers; she memorizes all of it, the scars and the reason why he have those. With two scars from his upper body, and her fingers caressing it so softly. Leo paused, his arms rested on her shoulders; looking up at him, there's those playful smile on his lips. And there goes her heart skipping a beat; she could tell her cheeks starting to blush, his statement have given something... another idea of that. She shook her head in sheer embarrassment, "His other parts that he's proud of... covered by his pants? Those are scars, right?" she look away with that thought, calming her mind as she sighed and look at him. Those playful smile is still plastered on his lips.
But then again, looking up at him; she really felt so comfortable, despite of this and the statement. She'll accept everything about him, because it's him; no one else but him.
A smile plastered on her face as her fingers trailed down to his stomach, "Just for the sake of fair then.." she murmured as she unzips his pants and hang it down; she leaned her head to his chest, as her hands went up embracing him. "Let me feel you, Leo... we'll be together, right?" she softly whispered, her eyes softens as she stayed there, leaning her head at his chest.

Leo might not be proud of his own body, but to have received a small encouragement from Rayl, who's opinions had already bumped above his own, is enough for him to gain the confidence he needs. Especially in such a crucial time like this where their bodies play a vital role. Rayl gave him the strength and comfort he never thought to be possible to experience with another person like this.
To be completely honest, this is quite possibly the first time he sees Rayl's pale face colored with a healthy rosy tint on her cheeks. It really is a pleasant sight, considering how she's often sporting either a straight blank expression on her face or that certain look with traces of loneliness in her eyes. He never wanted to see the latter expression on her face ever again, if he could help it. This amazing girl he had given his time to get to know with inside and out doesn't deserve to be lonely.
Rayl kept tracing her fingers everywhere; his neck, his chest, his stomach. Leo couldn't decide whether to feel aroused or ticklish, or both. "All is fair in love and war," he casually said in response of her statement, and the fact that they really did went through a kind of war earlier.
The sound of a zipper awakens him from his thoughts and he realized that Rayl really did what he hinted her to do. "Oh my god," he breathed out, bending his body down in slight embarrassment of her bold action, but since his arms are already around her shoulders, it became a sort of a hug right at the same time as she rests her head against his torso. They ended up embracing each other due to that, with the sound of the water tapping against their skin.
Leo can feel the breath of her voice against his chest when she whispered, and in response, the artist squeezed her body in his arms. "I told you..." he almost chuckled as he recalled how pathetically desperate he was to gain her acceptance, "Back then, when I said 'anything', I really do mean anything." Now that she finally accepted him, Leo's sure there is nothing in this world or beyond that could get him any happier.
"Lets."

Rayl suddenly smirked at the surprised and embarrassed look Leo gave out at her suddenly action. But her eyes softens as she looks at Leo, she was feeling nervous yet excited at the same time. Her heart beating faster at what is to come from this event.
Looking up at him, her hands trailing from his torso, his stomach, up to his leaned chest; she back away as she saw her fingers playing at his collarbone. She could hear him speak those words that makes her blushed more, looking at her with those embarrassed yet excited look. She slowly nodded, her hands going around his neck. Encircling his arms as she leaned in closer to his face. "Let us.. then," she softly replied, her stomach feeling heavier and every seconds last.
And with those last words, she leaned in at him; kissing him deeply, giving in at the good sensation. Her fingers entangling at his brown locks; she knew she never had encounter this feeling nor this sensation before. And she thought it will get her in pain for a little while, but she'll endure it. She have endured great pain before, so why not this?
Giving in to the guy in front of her, it's worth the pain anyway. She slightly pulled back, though their lips is still close with each other. "I love you... Leo,"

All his life, Leo was never considered 'manly' due to an absent father figure. It was difficult for him to even stand up for himself, much less attracting a lady's attention, so he never expected this day would come. To do the deed in a shower too, his mother would have rolled over in her grave.
...On the topic of the shower incident, Leo is unsure if he ever replied that he loves her back during the act, with being so caught up in his carnal instincts that he never knew he has and their shared excitement. Safe to say, it was most probably the most exciting night in his entire life, easily the only greatest highlight.
Those are Leo's thoughts when his eyes flickered open to greet the faint light of sunlight the next day.
'Veyyard... We did it in Veyyard of all places...' And that was his first conscious thought when he caught the scent of gunpowder and smoke, a sign that it's already morning in Veyyard and people are out to kill again. His face coloured at the memory of how they both trudged to sleep on the small single bed together and had to squeeze close to one another in order to fit. The result this morning; Rayl sleeping soundly with his arms around her. Though, said arm that she rested her head on is numb now. Leo didn't mind it at all and simply stared down at her sleeping face with a loving smile.
It's funny actually, with the fact that Veyyard is the place they first met. A lot has happened since then, of course, and they both grew feelings for each other in their somewhat odd journey. Come to think of it, during their very first meeting, he had already predicted 3 possible outcomes plus a 3% chance of a fourth outcome.
'I cannot believe the fourth one is actually happening...'
As he's staring at her, with only a single piece of fabric atop both of their naked bodies to keep them warm, she moved slightly in her sleep. Gently, he uses his one free hand to move a piece of hair from her face, tucking it behind her ear and carefully eases in to kiss her at the side of her head. His action stirred her a bit, and Leo immediately settled back on the pillow with a dazed smile, "Seems I forgot to make you tea yesterday...ahaha..."

A deep slumber after the event happened yesterday night, Rayl was exhausted and tired. Never would she have thought that she could be exhausted during yesterday. Given the fact that she almost haven't had a good sleep due to the organization following her until here at Veyyard, also using almost all her powers and have Lyar destroy everything and such. And yes, the night in the shower was also the reason.
Opening her eyes as she stirred at the soft movement of her hair tucking behind her ear; she saw that dazed smile of Leo and his soft, husky voice. Her vision cleared as she leaned more at his arm, slightly nodding. "It's okay..." she murmured softly, her arms wrapping around his torso; a smile was plastered on her face. "And I never would have thought that you, would be THAT strong and manly," her eyes brightens, a glint of teasing in her eyes were shown; but suddenly it softens as she raised half of her upper body, her chin resting on his bare chest. "That was really unexpected... but I like it," she let out, her arms that was hugging his torso moved; her hand playing at his brown locks.
She look at the faint rays of sun at the window, biting her bottom lip she look back at Leo. "Veyyard, huh? We first met at this country, right?" she let out, leaning her right cheek at his chest as she looks up at Leo. "Just wondering... how the two of us turned to be like this... you're prediction way back, they're all correct, huh?"

Leo happily welcomed her embrace and allowed her to snuggle in close after she coiled her arm around him. He blinked his sleepy eyes a few times when Rayl commented how he was in bed or shower yesterday, obviously flustered. "I...! W-well, that's because you always play the strong and manly part, I have to take the role whenever necessary...!" Rayl is an assassin, trained to stealth and kill, of course she's more superior than him in terms of capabilities and strength. Leo however, is just a simple artist from Gradia. The difference of their backgrounds is too large, it's amazing how they can get along so well.
Rayl began to push herself up, bringing her face closer to his as she does so and snaking her hand up to his hair next. Just at the sight of a naked Rayl clinging onto him and staring up at him in such an alluring way, Leo gulped. "D..... Don't look at me like that while saying such a thing..." He frowned at her, but then immediately scooped her body slightly upwards so he can reach for her face with his lips. He went straight to her lips, enjoying her raw morning scent as he does and embraced her body after their lips parted.
Leo held her close, securing her tightly in his arms like hugging a plushed toy. "Yes... We met in Iron Maw, I believe," Leo provided the answer when he felt her cheek against his chest. He had to smile when even their thoughts are in the same wavelength, "My prediction was based on logic... I didn't take into account of the possible feelings that might develop. What I'm sure of now, however, is that you're very important to me, Rayl." He worded it out with a tone that could make anyone want to glance to his face and see what his expression must have looked like, which is what he intended to do so the ice maiden would see him in all his vulnerable state.
"I do love you..." His eyes are soft but his lips are itching to smile by just saying that. It fills him with a strange kind of joy that bubbles up inside him, wishing to burst out, and all he wanted to do is to shout at the world how much he loves this girl. The obvious happiness in his expression ceases slightly when a speck of solemness entered his eyes, he seems to be thinking of something. "...Rayl..." He finally spoke, his voice still hoarse by just waking up earlier, "What happens now? ...Are you still connected to the assassins?"
He was thinking, if he could offer her a quaint peaceful life with him, but he needed to make sure what's happening with her life due to the turn of events last night.

Rayl smiled at Leo as she saw how Leo explained his side with those flushed expression. She was suddenly scoop by Leo, closer to him as she was granted by him by a kiss; which she kisses him back. After pulling back, she was held to him closely; she nuzzled her right cheek into his chest.
Looking up at him, he responded her those adoration words she so wanted to hear; even if its continuous and repetitive, she felt like she was whole together with him.
But his soft-looking, blue eyes filled with happiness ceases and there was the solemn look which confuses her; until Leo voiced his question about the organization. She paused, looking at him seriously; her right pointing finger trace the bridge of his nose. "Seriously? I am not connected anymore, it has been after I left them..." she explained, trying to think of the exact words to explain. "With what happened yesterday night... they will no longer trace me anymore," she confirmed, her eyes looking at Leo; emotions filled her eyes, happiness-the freedom she have longed for and the sadness and guilt-that she always escaped
"I-I'm free now... at last," she breathed out, suddenly, tears sprung out in her eyes; her arms snake up around his neck, burying her face at his chest. "No longer chained from my past, nor from those who haunt me," she started to sob, as she let out those words. "The supremo always have a small chip of network of data information, destroying it means my information will be no longer connected with them. The chip was inside his body..." she explained, her eyes closed as she still bury her face in his chest. "By means of destroying him, means destroying all information he have from that chip... permanently,"

Leo held her close, occasionally playing with her hair as he does. When Rayl had explained to him about her now cut-off connection with the assassins, Leo stared at her wordlessly. He nodded with a small smile now that she made it clear to him and possibly herself, that she's free. Leo allowed her to cry it out, she needed the release after years of being bound to such an organization... "You're finally free. Free to make your own choices, how to live your life, everything." He squeezed her, stroking her back in comforting spirals.
Inwardly, he's quite disturbed to know that her boss planted the chip with her information inside his own body, but the artist decided not to question that. It doesn't matter now anyway. The more she choked in her words due to her sobs, the tighter he hugged her. "Sshhh... There's nothing that binds you now, Rayl... Everything will be alright...." He whispered as he rests his chin on the crown of her head, that small smile still on his lips. "I'll walk with you all the way... Okay? So you don't have to be alone this time. The path of solitude may be peaceful, but isn't it particularly lonely?"
He wanted to ask her so bad, but he thought it'd be bad to ask her such a thing when she's weeping like this. '...But, these are tears of happiness...right?' "Hey, uhm.... Rayl?" He pulled back from hugging just enough to see her face. "I... I've been wanting to ask you... that is, if... if you don't have any plans after this..." The normally word-savvy Leo getting his tongue tied is a rare sight. "I don't have a home to bring you to, my mother's house are in shambles already... But I'd like to ask you, if you're willing to continue on your journey with me, to connect both of our paths together. Would you?"

Rayl paused in silence as she looks at Leo who have those smile that she can only see. She waited as he called her name, he was telling her to be with him, and that surprises her; but nonetheless, she felt a warm tug in her heart as she looks at the man who have been with her for almost the whole time she stayed in this domain.
She wiped her tears as she looks down embarrass, trying to formulate and to repeat in her mind his question. Confusion filled in her eyes, but the sudden thought of being with him lies another story. It was filled of excitement, a new journey between them... she wanted to be with him, yes. Her whole life depended on the organization years back, but this beginning is something new.
Rayl, without any hesitation leaned into him closer, kissing Leo; it was the only thing she could do to answer him, she was speechless. She couldn't take him more than enough, as she was now free from her chained past. She leaned her palm at Leo's cheek as she pulled back, she could only smile at him and nodded.

Leo was nervous to pose such an important decision to Rayl, which is somewhat one of the newer feelings he encountered since meeting this person. Usually, in whatever issues, come what may of the answer of his questions no matter how important, Leo never got the jitters. Probably because he wouldn't mind if the other party say yes or no in response of his question, he would come around with whatever they decide with a calm shrug.
In Rayl's case however, it actually scares him if she were to reject his offer. Never would he thought someone could affect him this deeply to even become a source of fear for him. Her long silence actually sends an anchor down in his stomach, that is until she kissed him. Taking that as a yes, he smiled in the kiss and returned it just as happily. The definite nod she gave him after that made him so incredibly happy, he squeezed her tighter in a blissful hug. "Thank you..!" He choked in a semi-whisper, too happy to even force his voice out.
"Then...!" He pulled back, eyes shining in excitement, "Gradia. ...I'd like to take you on a date to Gradia." His home country, where he could actually try to impress her, consciously now. She has shown him a part of her world and experiences, and now he'd like to share his with her. He heard they built a new amusement park there, although he's unsure if Rayl's the type to enjoy such a thing. He'd take her to the Archives if she prefers to read, or even take her shopping for a change of pace. 'Perhaps to the coliseum, or maybe the park. The park sounds nice, having a picnic would be lovely there.'
As he considers the many possibilities, Leo couldn't wait to show Rayl the benefits of her newly-earned freedom.
