withstanding indifference

Ana’s smile grew wider at his response and she looked at him for a moment before kissing him again, deeply.

Seth pulled back slightly, looking at her closely. “Really?” He asked, not wanting to freak her out too much.

Ana nodded, her face going red. ” I never really tried for relationships or anything, because of moving all the time, but I…” She paused, looking at him with a faint smile. “I really like you, Seth.”

"I really like you, too," He said, giving her a small smile as he kissed her lips quickly. "I like you a lot."

He broke the kiss once he noticed her hesitation, moving to press small kisses down the side of her neck. “Do you want to stop?”

"No, it’s okay," she muttered softly, almost distracted by the kisses against her neck. "I just… I’ve never really done… this… before," she admitted, embarrassed.

Seth pulled back slightly, looking at her closely. "Really?" He asked, not wanting to freak her out too much.

Seth’s hands on her waist shifted slightly as he helped her to move, his fingers brushing up against the skin underneath her shirt.

Ana’s breath hitched when he felt his fingers brushing up against her skin, and she hesitated for a moment before continuing to kiss him.

He broke the kiss once he noticed her hesitation, moving to press small kisses down the side of her neck. "Do you want to stop?"

Seth quickly moved his arms to hold her waist, gently biting down on her lower lip as she moved closer to him.

Ana deepened the kiss even further after Seth released her lip from between his teeth, hesitantly shifting herself to sit on his lap.

Seth's hands on her waist shifted slightly as he helped her to move, his fingers brushing up against the skin underneath her shirt.

He smiled into the kiss and moved to wrap his arms around her waist, pulling her a bit closer as the kiss deepened a bit.

Ana let herself be pulled in closer, her arms moving to wrap around his neck, moving herself even closer to him.

Seth quickly moved his arms to hold her waist, gently biting down on her lower lip as she moved closer to him.

"Ah, I was right?" He asked with a faint grin. "That was just a wild stab in the dark."

Ana nodded with a grin before pressing her lips back to his, her hands coming up to rest on his cheeks as she did so.

He smiled into the kiss and moved to wrap his arms around her waist, pulling her a bit closer as the kiss deepened a bit.

"Hmmm," He pretended to think, hesitantly leaning forward and pressing his lips to hers.

Ana kisses him back gently before reluctantly pulling away, a small smile on her lips. “Good guess,” She said with a chuckle, her cheeks blushing red.

"Ah, I was right?" He asked with a faint grin. "That was just a wild stab in the dark."

"Take a wild guess."

"Hmmm," He pretended to think, hesitantly leaning forward and pressing his lips to hers.

"Well…" And shrugged, the smirk still on her face. "I feel like we forgot something the last time we talked to each other."

"Yeah?" He asked, raising a brow and leaning a bit closer towards her. "What would that be?"

"I didn’t want to say no," He answered, a small smile forming across his lips. "I wanted to come here."

"Even though you look like you’d much rather be sleeping?" Ana asked, her smile turning into a bit of a smirk. "I’m glad you came, though."

"'Cause you were just bored?" He asked with a faint smirk, looking up towards her.

Ana nodded, giving him a faint smile. “You didn’t have to come, y’know… You could have said no.”

"I didn't want to say no," He answered, a small smile forming across his lips. "I wanted to come here."

"Oh," She responded, sitting down beside him and carefully starting to clean out a small cut. "This doesn’t happen all the time, does it?"

He pursed his lips, allowing her to clean the cut. "Not all the time," He finally answered, reluctantly looking up towards her.

"Broke up a fight?" She looked at him, concerned and confused. "Where do you work?" As she spoke, Ana went into the kitchen and grabbed a cloth before wetting it and going back over to Seth. "Sit down so I can clean up your face."

He sat down, letting out a sigh of resignation. "The bar behind my apartment," He answered. "Some guy who's always there was just trying to get his ass kicked, apparently," He said with a faint laugh. "I'll live, though."

"Nothing. I was just… bored," She replied, taking his hand and leading him into the living room. "You look terrible," she said, quickly realizing she sounded a bit rude. "I-I mean, you look like you got into a fight, or something."

He laughed a bit at her first comment, looking down and shaking his head. "I broke up a fight," He said, not exactly wanting to tell her where he worked. He looked bad enough already.

"Coming!" Ana called, hearing a knock at the door. She safely assumed it was Seth, knowing the doorman probably let him in the building. She opened the door up to greet him, the smile on her face quickly faltering when she saw the condition of his face. "What happened? Are you okay?"

"What?" He responded, a bit confused by the question. "Oh, yeah," He followed, quickly remembering what had happened. "Just an incident at the b-- ...At work," He immediately corrected. "What about you? What's up?"
