... Yeah, it was getting to where he could hardly watch this anymore. He understood that this mission was something that they both wanted to pull off without a hitch, but she was fucking trembling. She had already mentioned how her head was killing her, and all in all, seeing her continue to press on was fucking insufferable, as he opened his mouth to protest to only get a hand wave. And, like it or not, he wasn’t the one in charge here.
She was. It kind of came with wanting to be her bitch.
He grumbled with pursed lips as he clenched his fists at his sides before continuing to walk behind her -- he said it was just to watch the rear, literally and figuratively, when really he did it just so he could have her back if this sickness decided to fuck with her again.
... And just when it seemed like it had left, it came back with a vengeance, and Codee was left to gasp and close what little space their was between them as he gently held her on the side, and on the arm -- trying to keep her upright.
“Bella--!!” He called, suddenly, upon joining her at her side. The panic left him with a loud voice in his shock -- sorry, Bella. That probably didn’t help your headache any.
“Bella... are you alright? Say something...” He spoke, softer than the first call of her name as he kept his firm but delicate hold on her, waiting for a response as he got nothing for a mere moment... and instead, got her eyes meeting his, and a hand taking the one that was on her hip into her grasp.
... Well. That as a sign of some kind, he supposed?
“O–… Okay, maybe I’m not as fine as I initially thought.”
Yeah. No shit. Assistant only be damned, he pulled away from her to use the hand that was within her own to tug her back the way they came -- not too hard, but just enough to get the message across.
He wasn’t going to be forceful. Not while she was like this.
“I’m taking you home, Isabella.” He said, voice stern and whispered, for an air of sweetness as his concern seeped into his voice. “I get it. We’ve wanted to do this mission for a while now, but how important is it compared to your health? You’re not well, and I’m not having you slow this mission down ‘cause of a migraine, or let some asshole take the easy way out and murder you while you’re puking your guts out.
We’re going home. We’ll do this again some other time. Alright? Please...
It was a daring move -- one that let a sigh of relief leave his lips once it turned out he was free to have his way. Have his way with her. It’s not that he doubted it, after everything they had been through... but the weight of being denied was heavy on Codee’s shoulders, as after a night of just having some fun, he had ended up on top of her, and something... within him as he stared into her eyes was yearning for more. For the two of them to join in a way they never had before... It was a huge step; he was aware of this.... and yet...
With a hand ever so carefully and gently moving up across his partner’s side, arm, and finally stopping at her hand by entwining her fingers between his, he steered himself and let his heart speak up about his desires.
“Bella... my Bella... How you make my heart soar... How you complete me, and how you are my one, my only...” He spoke in a whisper, his free hand caressing her side through the t-shirt that had been one of her nightshirts since they began living together.
“Forgive me... for it seems I am rather selfish... I give my heart wholly for you... yet... I want some things in return from you...”
His voice only grew quieter; deeper. More and more small against the dark of the night, only for her to hear. He kept allowing his hand to slowly slide down her curves, caressing her skin as he spoke...
“I want you to be mine. I want to be your only... I want to be the one who loves you, and has you to come home to... and be the only one who sees you like this...” The hand that stayed glued to her side continued to slide lower, and lower... leaving not once inch of her skin untouched on the way down, as it went over her hip, and made it’s way down her bare thigh, Codee eager for her reaction to such an act...
“I want something from you... something that... once I take it... it can never be yours again...”
With a glint in blue eyes, only reflecting what little the moonlight touched of them, he leaned down -- resting his chest against her’s, but refusing to press it against her skin, as he rested his lips by her ear, breathing hot against it and her neck. Once there, he said one thing, and one thing only.
“Make love to me...”
Once those words were uttered, and his desires were made clear, he leaned back up, and slowly pulled his hand away from her own, dragging it across their sheets... to be treated with a smile, and a gentle touch upon his face. It seemed as if he wasn’t the only one who wanted something like this...
What a relief that was...
Blue eyes closed themselves to the world, a sigh leaving him as he nuzzled Bella back in kind, breathing so calmly as he let his hand continue to rise back up towards her curves -- dancing across her hip. His eyes fluttered open at the light sensations of her hands against his chest as it rose and fell, watching her hands and every delicate movement they made...
... All before she stole his attention again, by raising herself up as she pulled him down by embracing him, blue eyes forced to dart down to the lips so dangerously close to his own...
“I’m all yours.”
And, well... now that he had her verbal consent, he breathed out inaudibly against her lips, pursing them as he, now with both hands, wrapped his arms around her, holding her up and off of the bed -- keeping his hold on her strong and supportive. He adjusted her place in his arms, pulling her to his chest, and finally pushing against her as he let out a chuckle and flashed her a moonlit smirk.
“Heh... You ready for this, babe~?”
Bella was only given just enough time to let out a response before his lips found the side of her neck with ease. He spared no time with playing around as he suckled on the skin heavily, but quickly, letting go after a moment’s notice to breathe a heated breath against the same skin he kissed.
Once that breath was released against her skin, he moved his lips ever lower, kissing the crook of her neck, repeating the same cycle with less of the fire he currently held within. Oh, it was burning... but now that he was allowed to release it, it wanted to build up. Burn in spurts.
He wanted to coax her into an inferno that would burn everything to the ground with his own.
With his second kiss, he shifted to her collarbone... then her shoulder. His lips left her skin there with a satisfying sound that was better off as a sound effect in a movie matched with relaxing music as the characters made love... and with that done, with a sigh, he pulled his own head away from her arms, rolling his head out from under them as he slipped his arms our from under her, gently letting her back down upon the sheets they laid upon.
He placed yet another kiss upon her chest as his hands found their place along her sides. As he let his lips linger against her skin, he let his hands drift ever so slightly under the nightshirt that once belonged to him, but now belonged to her. Strong, powerful yet calculated hands draped themselves over her frame underneath, all before sliding back down.
... Now, since this was the first time for either of them, as Codee pulled away from his partner’s chest, his heart stilled it’s pounding for just a moment, as he let out a breath and stared at a certain... gift... Bella had, that even he couldn’t ignore once he became as devoted to her as he was.
Sadly enough for her favorite assistant, the night shirt was still in the way. But maybe that was a blessing? With what he desired to do, he wasn’t entirely sure his master would like it...
Still, with another rather breathy sigh leaving him, he used one hand to slowly lift the shirt off of her stomach, and Bella’s rather large bosom, leaving the shirt nearly a third of the way off, as he used his hands to keep her in place. He tightened his grip on her side, before letting his lips finally fall where he had thoughts on the side about kissing -- as he allowed one of her nipples into his mouth. For the moment, he left it as a kiss -- waiting to see her reaction as his hand slid up her side. From there, he tried to lightly suck on it, also listening to her reaction before blue eyes shifted upwards to get the best look at her face that he could get...
... Once he got the answer he was looking for, he decided to heat things up just a little further, and allowed a simple thrust downwards to allow their hips to connect -- a small beat to a greater rhythm that was soon to follow. Codee hummed against her breast from how amazing their bodies felt together already -- how amazing she left...
Mm, depending on what she liked, this night was going to be purely electrifying.
Codee’s gentle attempt to soothe her just made Isabella grumble softly and bury herself into him. She wasn’t annoyed or mad at him for trying to comfort her - that much was obvious as she demanded for cuddles with him. Oh no… Isabella was grumpy at her ideas or lack thereof. It was hard being an evil mastermind when you were running out of things to do.
“I’m just annoyed.” Isabella huffed, adjusting her cuddling position so she could look up into Codee’s baby blue eyes that she absolutely adored. “Every time I come up with a new plan for us, I quickly realise that we’ve already done it or something like it and that just makes it boring. I don’t want us to be boring…!” She whined, lifting her arms up to the ceiling in frustration before letting them fall to her side with a flop. Damn it. She was beating herself at her own damn evil little game and it was torture. How the hell was she supposed to come up with something new? What would entertain her dark soul?
Isabella blinked as she sat on that thought for a moment, thinking of a new way to have some fun in other people’s suffering. While a specific idea hadn’t yet come to mind, she had managed to think of a theme that she wanted, causing her navy eyes to sparkle as she sat up from her curled up position, a bright smile plastered across her face.
“I don’t want to just do a small robbery or kill a few people. I wanna do something huge - something spectacular! I wanna feel like I’m at a carnival or something!”
N’aw, she could be so cute; even when she was grumpy as hell. As Isabella flopped into him with her little whine, all he could do in response was chuckle and make his cuddly hold on her tighter. If she wanted cuddles, then he was happy to oblige. It was one of the many things he was at her side for, after all.
So... she was just annoyed. Annoyed at not having done anything new in a while? Well, the small scale stuff they had done was... fine by him. But... he agreed, to some degree. All their more recent stuff had grown stale; done. Somewhat trite and tiny.
If Isabella wanted to keep up with doing such smaller thefts and misdeeds, he would be happy to as long as it was by her side... but if she wanted to mix it up just a tiny bit, that was fine, too. Mixing it up a little would be fun~ So he let her have her little flop, chuckling before he spoke again.
“Well? Then what would you like to do?”
He could only smile down at her as she took one of his many suggestions to heart, and thought it over. While she was thinking of what they could do to spice up their crime life, he waited patiently for her answer. He enjoyed seeing her cute little thinking face, though, as she thought about it. God. She could be so cute... What a gal. Being adorable while thinking of how to hurt everyone around her besides him to the best of her ability.
He loved her so damn much.
Because of how he watched her, he was able to see the exact moment her eyes began to sparkle, and knew she had come up with something great. While it surprised him a little, to see her leap out from his hold to smile at his ever so enthusiastically, he adjusted; sitting up as she spoke.
“I don’t want to just do a small robbery or kill a few people. I wanna do something huge - something spectacular! I wanna feel like I’m at a carnival or something!”
“Like you’re at a carnival...?” He questioned, blinking. The word immediately brought forth the image of colorful rides at night, tickets, funnel cake and... castles. Hm.
It seemed like Isabella didn’t have the full idea in mind just yet, so Codee took it upon himself to look up at the ceiling and push his lips to one side of his face as he thought it over himself. Something... truly spectacular. He knew his lady; taking over or shooting up a simple fair wouldn’t have been enough for her. Oh, no no no. So if she wanted to do something spectacular, he kept his mind on the last thing that came to mind. Castles. A castle of many towers and windows, lit up by a display that changed every night, based on one of pure fantasy and fiction that people wanted to relive every time they saw it...
“... Well, we could always take over Dusk Island Adventures. Maybe go as far as to hijack one of their mascot dance parties shows and make it our own, complete with the threat of bullets to the face?
Jaden had handled many things in the past; he had teamed up with his friends against some of the school bullies at Duel Academy and helped people along the way. He had even helped take down the Shadow Riders! And with a new threat coming to Duel Academy, Jaden would be sure to do his best and help take them down too.
But when Pharaoh was mad?
Oh lord have mercy.
The poor Slifer student didn’t even have enough time to even register how some new guy knew his real name (because Jaden had honestly done his best to keep ‘Judai’ a secret), because Pharaoh’s hisses and growls only grew louder the moment the stranger entered the dorm.
“You’re scared of this fat thing? What the hell did you do to piss him off so badly?”
“Hey - Pharaoh is vicious when he’s mad!” Jaden tried his best to explain, which was kinda difficult at the moment when he was still huddled up on his bottom bunk. “Besides I have no idea what made him so pissed off! He’s impossible to calm down when he’s moody!”
“It’s okay, kitty kitty… Come here–~”
Chocolate brown eyes widened the moment the stranger tried to reach out for Pharaoh and coaxed him over to his side. Oh god that was just a disaster waiting to happen. He had to warn him before it was too late–!!
“Wait stop…!”
“JESUS CHRIST!!!”
Nevermind. It was too late.
Jaden gasped as Pharaoh lunged at the stranger’s face, scratching his suit up and threatening to use his claws on the poor guy’s skin. Well, this certainly wasn’t the way Jaden wanted to meet someone new.
“Pharaoh!!” The second-year Slifer student cried out, leaping out of his bunk bed and chasing after the two as they stumbled out of the dorm. “Stop it Pharaoh! Bad kitty!!” It seemed like his words weren’t enough to get Pharaoh to calm down, as the cat continued to screech and scratch at the guy’s face. So Jaden did his best to help as he ran up to the two and grabbed onto his cat, pulling at him to try and get him off. It was an endless struggle and Pharaoh was being unnecessarily stubborn on letting go, but finally with one last tug, Jaden managed to pull Pharaoh away, holding onto him tight as the cat struggled to break free so he could continue to scratch and claw at the stranger’s face.
“Pharaoh! That’s enough!!” Jaden growled softly at his cat, his body jerking slightly with each sudden movement Pharaoh tried to make. Luckily for the two of them, Pharaoh’s rage seemed to have calmed down enough where he was now just a complete grump, growling and whining at his owner. All Jaden could do was shake his head at the cat before turning to his guest with a sigh.
“Oh my god I’m so sorry. I have no idea what’s gotten into him. Are you okay? I think there’s a first aid kit around here and I think… you’re gonna need it.”
Oh, Codee was not happy with the current situation. That much was obvious as he continued to grunt against the cat’s assault against his face.
Thankfully, he had kept his eyes closed at all times as he felt claws tear up the skin on his face, and blood cause his face to heat up as tiny cut marks were left on his face.
Codee was soon joined by Jaden when it came to attempting to get the cat off of his beautiful face and suit, feeling hands on top of his own as they tried to yank the cat away. The fat fucker was determined, but eventually Codee’s hands were yanked away from him, as Jaden finally got a hold on the damn cat.
He allowed his hands to fall away from the feline, and onto the rail behind him as he leaned against it and panted in his shock, and in trying to regain his composure since being outright attacked. Fucking hell, that was it. No more cats for him. Jesus fucking Christ, and he had loved them before that. Once he was back on earth enough, and Pharaoh tried to fight back against Jaden’s hold.
Baby blue eyes went wide as the visitor to Duel Academy bared his teeth.
“That cat is a fucking menace!! What do you keep him around for if he acts like that?!”
Codee held no sympathy for Pharaoh as he went back to being a slumpy grump in Jaden’s arms, just whining at his owner, and the sight made Codee scoff as he stood upright all over again, wiping his chin and lower lip to find... yep. Blood. Blood on his white gloves. Tch. He was probably torn up to pieces.
“Oh my god I’m so sorry. I have no idea what’s gotten into him. Are you okay?”
“Oh, so you don’t know why your cat assaulted me. Wonderful. Thank you.” He sighed as he rubbed his face, finding more blood on it and his gloved hand when he was done. Another fucking sigh. This was ridiculous; a great start to his research of the Gentle Darkness and the Light of Destruction in action as it begun it’s war anew on Duel Academy’s shores.
Okay. He had let his happy outlook fall to pieces in light of the situation -- well, who wouldn’t -- but he needed it back as soon as possible. Being rude wasn’t what he wanted to give off, he wanted to get on Jaden’s good side! All for getting closer to him, so he could have a front row seat to watching everything unfold. Being nicey-nicey was crucial to the plan, and if he didn’t fix it now, he could kiss it all goodbye. With a breath through his nose and a close of his eyes, he pushed his hair back, letting his bangs fall onto his torn-up face, before looking back up with the smile he tried to present to mister Judai “Jaden” Yuki before that fucking cat ruined everything.
“Apologies. It seemed I lost my manners there, for a moment. A... first aid kit to clean up my face would be nice. Don’t worry about the suit -- I happen to know an incredible tailor.
Perhaps we could use this opportunity to get to know one another? I am Codee Aide. A researcher in the realm of Duel Monster Spirits.” A white lie, one more of a lie than anything true, considering he couldn’t see spirits at all. But it was meant to tug at Jaden’s heart; get himself in there, and make himself known.
“I’ve heard quite a lot about you, Judai “Jaden” Yuki!”
"My cat is mad at me and I'm very scared." {elemental-hero}
@elemental-hero
Finally. After working so hard to find his way into the prestigious Duel Academy, he had arrived. As someone who had always taken an interest in the fight between dark forces and the light, an interest that sparked with the Shadow Games that once plagued Domino City and other parts of the world, he had his eyes on Duel Academy once his sources were telling him of the arrival of the fabled “Light of Destruction.” What a juicy twist to the original tale... and something worth chasing, to be sure.
What Codee had heard of the said “Light of Destruction”, was there was an opposite “Gentle Darkness” side; with it’s own kingdom and lore. The tale of the king who was stabbed in the throat after his corrupted reign...
As his sources reported, the war was being reborn anew... and so was the dead king. Codee didn’t want to miss his chance whatsoever. He wanted to see this for himself -- watch as the balance he had been studying for so long played out.
After arriving at Duel Academy, it didn’t take long for one of the king’s reincarnation’s allies to eventually mention him by name as he mentioned the “Slifer Red” that was taking the Academy by storm... three years ago, anyway. There hadn’t been much talk of him since...
After all of the gorgeous architecture of Duel Academy, it was a little humbling to be greeted to such a tiny shack upon arrival. Still, though, he knocked on the door of what was supposedly Judai “Jaden” Yuki’s dorm room...
... Only to hear hissing and meowing of a rather sinister nature on the other side, along with a scream.
.. Okay then??
Still, he knocked again anyway, trying the doorknob out of curiosity to find... it was unlocked? Well. He didn’t have any time to waste, so Codee decided to help himself, and peeked his head in.
“H-.. Hello? Mister Judai Yuki? I’m a visitor here at Duel Academy and I would--.”
His introduction was cut short as a beige and brown fat cat on the center of the floor of the shabby apartment continued to hiss loudly at the red-jacketed student on the bottom bunk. A brow was raised, and all sense of professionalism in Codee’s expression was lost as he just. Stared at this noisy as hell cat, then glanced at Jaden as he was huddled up on his bunk bed, and just... drank the situation in.
It was so ridiculous, Codee couldn’t even put up any sort of nicey nice act to grin and bear it with.
“What the hell is this?”
The icing on the cake of the situation was, of course, Jaden’s response to Codee’s question.
"My cat is mad at me and I'm very scared."
... This was it. This was the very thing Codee had spent a good year and a half researching in order to get closer for the sake of field work, into his work of the world’s balance... This was the person who was going to fight against the Light once again.
This was the Supreme King’s reincarnation. Cowering at the anger of his apparent pet cat.
Yeah, Codee didn’t have it in him to try and be nice for first impressions anymore.
“Are... Are you kidding me?” Codee spoke as the fat cat turned towards him and growled deep in his throat. “You’re scared of this fat thing? What the hell did you do to piss him off so badly?”
Codee fixed his stance, before kneeling down in front of the cat, just as the cat decided to raise it’s back as his hairs stood on end. He reached a hand out towards the beige feline, trying his damnedest to seem nice after the sight of this gigantic disappointment.
“It’s okay, kitty kitty... Come here--~”
And come here he did, as the cat bared his teeth and lunged at the stranger, making Codee jump back in shock as a cat was on his face and scratching up his suit--
“JESUS CHRIST!!!”
Codee continued to stumble out of the Slifer Red dorm room as he wrestled with the cat on his face, trying to pull him off as his back met the metal of the walkway’s railing outside, grunting as he was continuously scratched at and growled at, with no sign of stopping anytime soon.
"I'm saltier than McDonald's fries right now." {isabella}
Well. Beyond the fact that saying that she was saltier than McDonald’s fries wasn’t saying much, that was a nice “I’m Home It’s Cuddle Time” present. After a day of him looking into what he could for their next being move in their current plan, she was apparently salty about something. His baby blue eyes just blinked curiously at her, as after her comment, he didn’t get an answer from her. Still, he didn’t... move away from her, or anything like that -- it didn’t seem like it was a signal for him to get away from her; which meant that it was unlikely that he did anything wrong... but... after being away the entire day, he didn’t have much reason to see just what she would be so upset about... So, silence fell between them, for a while, as he mused over what it could be, with the TV as ambience behind them; as much ambience as an advertisement for a Fall Used Car Sale would get them. As he waited, still, to see if she would give him any context, he studied her angry face. Her little pout and her gorgeous face, illuminated by the light of the TV they stole ages back.
... Was he getting an anything? Any hints, any answers? No, apparently? Well then.
He took in a breath, found his smile and cuddled her closer to him, thanks to the arm wrapped around her shoulder, and looked down directly at her, and her alone.
As the words fell from his beloved’s lips, Codee swallowed as he tightened his grip on the gun in his hand, staring into the teary green eyes of the actress he now had tied up against her trailer floor; sobbing as she whined out her muffled pleas for her life to be spare. Where one would have a heavy heart about the life they now held in their hands… Codee found himself with a heart that had no mercy for his captive, but with a mind that ran with the weight of just what he had gotten himself into.
He was about to shoot the great Anne Dénué dead – all for her money and for the love of some girl.
So? They had to get their start somewhere, and this was how – steal all the riches from a world-renowned actress and use it to kickstart their her goals.
This was going to make him, and her, (Well. She apparently already was. What a fun thing to find out on a date.) criminals. Outlaws. Two people that the cops would kill if they found for the next… year or even more.
And? Codee was one of the few people left who believed that the world had a balance between good and evil, with fright over the fact that too much good in the world could end up being what brought the world to an end a lingering thought in the back of his head. Entropy. It was a dying concept in the grand scheme of things, and his date for the evening had already chosen her side. So… if he wanted to be with her… there was only one option there.
So there was only one question left –
Did the simple idea of being Isabella’s boyfriend and partner mean that much to him? That he was willing to throw every ounce of a good future he had away?
He pursed his lips. He clenched the gun tighter in his hand, and his brows furrowed. The gorgeous Anne whimpered all over again – whining behind the fabric over her mouth that kept it shut and muffled her as her eyes widened at Codee’s uncaring stare and the gag silenced her attempt to scream–
BAM!!
… Smoke from the barrel of the gun Codee still had in his now blood-covered hand was the only thing to fill the air for some time beyond silence for the moment that followed. The only thing that broke it was the slump of Codee’s own shoulders as all of the weight on his back, head and heart were all lifted from one choice alone. He released a sigh, before perking his shoulders back up.
“… Y’know… fuck Satan, honestly.”
He turned back behind him, baby blue eyes staring straight towards the girl he just murdered someone for, her blood splattered across his face.
“I’d kill anyone for just you~”
With that said, Codee stood back up with a grunt, and faced Bella completely, throwing the gun he just used over his shoulder onto the ground.
“So did’ja get the funds transferred yet, honey? ‘Cause the ‘silencer’ on that thing didn’t do shit.”
