Chayton & Adira | Walk With Me

[xtwistedxfatex-deactivated20160]

He was so unsure how long that he’d been sitting there on the couch, but he was nearly asleep when she came into the room.  He opened an eye and looked up at her, a smile gracing his lips.  He was still so taken with the way that she looked in his clothes, the way that she smelled with the mixture of her own scent, and that of his soap.  Her words pulled a chuckle from his lips, and he shook his head.  "Do you plan on keeping me up for a while, hmm?“  The smile that was on his lips, grew into a full blown grin, when he did something spur of the moment, totally uncommon with him, where this girl was concerned.

Chayton’s arm jutted out and he took hold of Adira’s hand, tugging her closer to him.  He didn’t stop there, he pulled just a bit harder, dragging her into his lap, and wrapping an arm tightly around her waist.  If she wanted to be let go, he’d of course let go, but he was hoping after all, that she wouldn’t want him to let her go.  He smiled again, this time more of a smirk as his hand drifted up the back of her neck, tangling into the back of her hair.

He cleared his throat and leaned in close to her, his nose running along the side of her face, taking in her scent from a much closer vantage point.  He couldn’t help it, he’d been wanting to touch her since he’d met her, and he’d only gotten as far as holding her hand.  He was hoping that he might at least get a kiss now.  "Look, I’ve been wanting to do this since I met you, since I sat down at that table, and you got snarky with me.  Probably the reason that I’ve been so nervous around you this whole time.”

His tongue flicked out and over his lips, before he pressed his lips against the pulse point right behind her ear.  "Don’t be mad… Don’t be mad.“  He murmured the words into her ear, before cupping her chin in his hand, turning her face toward his, pressing their lips together lightly.  Soft lips, he’d imagined they’d be soft, but not quite that soft.  "Look.. I uhh.  I like you, Adira.  I like you a lot.”  He paused for a moment, running his fingers through her still damp hair.  He noticed that as soon as the words were said, he wasn’t nervous any more.  Oddly enough, the closer that he was to her, the less nervous he was.   Hmm.  Imagine that.  

“I’m pretty sure that you know I like you, and I’m pretty sure that if you didn’t at least entertain the idea, you wouldn’t be here right now.”  It was so much easier to have said the words, now that he had her in his lap.  He didn’t know why, but for some reason, the comfort he felt with her there, was far beyond the nervous discomfort that he’d been feeling the rest of the time that he’d been with her.  He pressed another light kiss to her temple, before grabbing the remote, and turning on the television.

[stregaxadira]

As he awoke and peered up at her, she shot him a grin. She could’ve let him sleep, but that would’ve been too easy. If she was awake, it was only fair that he was as well, or at least that’s how she saw it.  "I do, I plan on keeping you awake for as long as I’m awake,“ Adira replied, with a chuckle. Knowing her, she’d be out within an hour or two. Last night wasn’t exactly the best night’s sleep she’d ever had, but it was more than enough to keep her awake for the time being. Plus, he was enough reason to want to stay up.

She fell into him as he tugged on her arm, her body landing right into his lap as she let out a small laugh. She locked her arms around his neck, visibly amused by his previous gesture. Her eyes met his as he smiled, his hand now tangling in her hair as she leaned a little closer to him.  Adira couldn’t help the slight smirk that fell across her lips, as a finger jutted out to trace up and down the back of his neck. 

Her eyelashes fluttered as he leaned into her, her breathing slowing as his nose traveled across her skin. A faint blush covered her skin, as her nerves picked up. This was farther than they’d gotten previously, which had her feeling a bit jittery. His words broke the silence, as her hands traveled to his shoulders. "Ever since I snarked at you, huh? Who knew snarky comments would land me a new friend of sorts.”

Adira’s eyes closed slowly as he pressed his lips to her skin.  "Why would I be mad?“  She questioned softly. Her question was soon answered, as he pressed his lips against hers. Without even thinking about it, her hands now slipped to either side of his face, as she pulled herself a bit closer before he pulled back.  "I know,”  She murmured, her lips still tingling.  Any nerves or fears that she had previously were now gone, as they’d finally just gotten everything over with. 

“It’s...plausible that I feel the same way towards you.” She grinned, pressing  a small kiss to the side of his jaw. Something about this moment felt right to her, she felt as though it was meant to happen. Adira tucked her head into the crook of his shoulder after he pressed a kiss to her temple, sighing contently. “So, what’re we watching?”

[xtwistedxfatex-deactivated20160]

I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned her, and I’m pretty sure she knows who she is.  If she doesn’t, she’s not as smart as I originally thought.  I’m pretty sure she’s as smart as she is beautiful, so she knows.

[stregaxadira]

You have, plenty of times--I think you mention her at least once a day. She definitely knows who she is. She’d be an idiot not to realize that she’s the girl you keep going on about. And she absolutely loves hearing how much you like her.

[xtwistedxfatex-deactivated20160]

Oh come on now… You ought to know by now that I’m not really interested in older women.  I have a different beautiful girl in my head… In case you didn’t realize.

[stregaxadira]

Ah yes, I believe you might’ve mentioned this a few times before. She’s got to be quite interesting, if she’s on your mind practically all the time. Actually, I think I remember you mentioning this to her before.

[xtwistedxfatex-deactivated20160]

Well yeah, the only thing that could top pancakes and coffee, would be if I had a beautiful girl to share them with.

[stregaxadira]

Is that so? You know, I hear the extraordinarily beautiful literature teacher is looking for a date, I’m sure you could persuade her to have pancakes with you.

[watch-yourself-i-bite]

No, no, not at all. I was just off in la la land. Please, join me.

[stregaxadira]

I take it you’ve got a lot on your mind, I take it?

[rainacromwell-blog]

Maybe boring is in the eye of the beholder!

[stregaxadira]

Perhaps it is. But I’m sure you’ll see what I’m talking about soon enough.

[xtwistedxfatex-deactivated20160]

 I could have ditched today, and had way better food than this.

[stregaxadira]

You could’ve had pancakes, and coffee--A better alternative, honestly.

[xtwistedxfatex-deactivated20160]

I can already tell, its gonna be one of those damned days again.  I mean really, why did they have to serve fish sticks for breakfast? If they were even fish sticks…

[stregaxadira]

Fish sticks for breakfast? Sounds like hell, if you ask me.

[watch-yourself-i-bite]

Sorry, I was off somewhere else. What did you say?

[stregaxadira]

I was just asking if the spot next to you was taken, I didn’t want to intrude.

[ruth-buchanan]

Give me one good reason not to drop my fingers–I never miss.

[stregaxadira]

Because if you don’t, I may just decide to inflict pain on you, when I really shouldn’t have to. Don’t you know it’s a bit rude to pull a weapon on someone you barely know?

[rainacromwell-blog]

Beacon Hills is lovely…and I can feel the magic in the air.

[stregaxadira]

Lovely is one way to describe it, I’ve chosen despairingly boring.

Chayton & Adira | Walk With Me

[xtwistedxfatex-deactivated20160]

Chayton sat there in silence for a few moments, just enjoying the food that he’d put onto his plate.  The sounds that filled the kitchen for now, were just chewing and heartbeats.  It was odd to him, that he’d sit in his kitchen, where he’d just made breakfast, for someone other than himself or his father.  He wasn’t sure why, but he had actually liked cooking for someone else.  Still, he couldn’t pinpoint what it was about this girl that had him hanging on so tightly.  There was something though, and he was determined to figure out what it was, not to stop it, just so he would know what it was.

The thoughts pushed a short laugh out of his mouth, causing him to nearly choke on the pancake in his mouth.  He swallowed thickly, and huffed out a loud breath, shaking his head.  "Sorry, that was kind of gross… Totally didn’t mean to.“  He went silent again, after the slight outburst, and finished his breakfast.  He probably looked like a pig, eating, but it was the way it always happened after the full moon.  The shift always took a lot out of him, and eating a lot usually helped to replenish at least a little of that energy.

When he was finished, he stood and took his plate to the sink, grabbing a coffee cup and pouring Adira a cup of coffee.  He sat it on the table in front of her, and grabbed another cup for himself, sipping it gingerly before taking a large gulp.  "Well, I’m ready whenever you are.  I’m always up for being lazy after the full moon.”  He chuckled softly, taking another drink from his coffee cup, “Technically, if I hadn’t met you, I probably wouldn’t have been going to school today anyways.  For some reason though, I was going to go….”  He stopped himself, because he knew he was probably about to say just a little bit too much.

He cleared his throat again, stepping backward away from the table, “I’ll be in the living room whenever you’re finished with your breakfast.”  He refilled his coffee cup, and stepped out of the kitchen.  "Christ, Chayton, you have a serious problem.“  He couldn’t even be around her without getting tongue tied, and he was never at a loss for words, this was something completely new to him.  New territory for Chayton was not really a good thing, especially since this was a new town, and he knew exactly no one.  He had no idea how Adira would respond to his affections.  Would she return them, or would she completely brush him off.  Even worse, she could friendzone him.  For this reason, he was pretty sure, he was just going to have to keep it to himself.

He’d gotten lost in those thoughts by the time he’d reached the living room, but he managed to find his seat on the end of the couch, nearest the small refrigerator, and pick up the television remote, turning on the television.  He’d leaned back against the couch, his eyes closing.  "So sleepy.”  He told himself that he’d just be resting his eyes for a moment, and he knew he’d wake up when she came in.

[stregaxadira]

Adira was immersed in her little bubble as she devoured the food that was in front of her. In her honest opinion, this was better than anything her aunt had made in the past few months. Of course, she was appreciative nonetheless--And she was especially appreciative of Chayton. It was one thing to invite someone in, but it was another to cook breakfast for them after only knowing them for less than twenty-four hours. Something told her this wouldn’t be the last time he did something like this, all things considered. It seemed that neither of them would be letting go anytime soon.

Stifling a chuckle of her own, she shook her head as he struggled a bit.  "Oh no, it’s fine. Are you okay? I’d rather not have to deliver the heimlich maneuver today.” She replied, cracking a small smile as she looked over at him. She picked up her glass, taking yet another sip as they went back to sitting in silence, both now back to focusing on the plates in front of them. It was awkward, almost, as neither seemed to know exactly what to say, nor when exactly to say it.

Seeing the coffee now placed in front of her, she took it in her hand without a second thought, taking a long sip before flashing him a smile as if to say thank you. She swallowed, before nodding,  "Sounds good. I’m in need of a lazy day, after the recent unpacking I’ve done..”  She chuckled, setting her cup down, “Going to go because you knew I would be there as well?”  She finished, looking up at him with a knowing grin. “You don’t have to speak so carefully around me, you know.”

Hearing Chayton speak again, she gave him another nod, as she finished the few bites she had left on her plate. She couldn’t help but giggle to herself as he left, finding his lack of words a bit too amusing. Normally, she’d be the one tongue tied by now, and yet she’d managed to keep herself somewhat together. It was all new to her, and she was quite enjoying feeling out this particular territory. Adira held most of the cards here--She could turn him away, or friendzone him...but something told her she shouldn’t do either. And she couldn’t quite place why.

She finished her food, before quietly placing her dish in the sink, now making her way toward the living room. As she entered the room, she noticed that he was now dozing off, causing her to let out a soft laugh aloud, “Still a bit sleepy, hm? I’m afraid sleeping will have to wait a bit.”

[beth-corona-blog]

“I’ve had a crush on him since I was in fifth grade!” She blurted out, apparently unable to keep words inside her head for once in her god damn life.  “H-He kissed me?” Beth remained incredulous, unsure whether to believe the seemingly lovely brunette girl. 

[stregaxadira]

“Well, that’s--You know, I’d just keep that to myself, honestly.” She advised, before moving on quickly. “You kissed him, technically. There was a lot of alcohol involved, I’m sure he wouldn’t remember.” Adira shrugged, before snapping her fingers, “You know what, I think I got the name wrong--It wasn’t Stiles, it was Stanley. Yeah, he’s some lacrosse guy or whoever. I’m sorry.”

Chayton & Adira | Walk With Me

[xtwistedxfatex-deactivated20160]

He heard her turn the water off upstairs, and he started to situate the table, so that the two of them weren’t sitting that far apart.  It was probably hinky, but at the moment, he didn’t really care.  It was the smell of her when she started descending the steps that really got him.  It was his soaps, his shampoo, and her natural scent, all mixed together, and it caused his breath to hitch slightly.  Probably not so slightly, as he almost dropped the plate that he was holding.

“Seriously, get it together Chayton.”  He muttered the words under his breath, and shook his head, trying to get the scent out of his head, at least for the moment.  He realized shortly after that the scent wasn’t the only thing that he was going to have a problem with.  When she walked in the room, he stopped, no, froze would probably be a better word.  He was holding his breath, like waiting for a pin to drop or something, but the sight of her in his clothes, and of course, her scents, it was almost too much for him to deal with at that very moment.  He had to very nearly force himself to not drag her close to him, just so he could kiss her.

“Well, you never mentioned it until now, but I’ll keep that in mind.”  He chuckled nervously, gesturing to the table and the food.  "I uhh… I didn’t know what you’d eat, so I made everything.  There’s coffee brewing, and I’m sure there’s cream and sugar around here somewhere.“  He wasn’t sure what the two of them were going to do for the day, but he knew if they were going to be spending the day together, he was going to have to get a better handle on himself.  He wasn’t even sure what it was about her, but there was definitely something.  She’d drawn him in, and now he was stuck there, not that he wanted out or anything, but it was playing hell on him, trying to behave around her.

He handed her the plate that he’d been holding onto, and grabbed the other off the table, heaping food onto it, and standing there for a moment, trying to remember what he was supposed to even be doing.  "I don’t really know what we’re going to do today… since we only just got here, about the only thing we have is Netflix.”  His shoulders pulled up in a shrug as he finally took his seat, pouring himself a glass of orange juice, and drizzling syrup over his pancakes.

[stregaxadira]

As she finished dressing, she wiped the steam off the nearby mirror, before wiping underneath her eyes.  Eyeliner and showers don’t mix, sadly. One last look, and it was down the stairs she went. She felt a little odd, bounding into someone else’s kitchen, instead of her own. But she had to admit, the view on the other side brought her a bit of joy. He brought her a bit of joy--And by a bit, she meant more so than that. 

Silence. Absolute silence filled the room as she made her way toward the table. The only sounds that could be heard were the sounds of their breathing. She held back a chuckle as her gaze met his, noticing the way he froze and stared back at her, almost looking a bit shocked. Which, she had to admit, had her blushing for what felt like the thousandth time since the previous day. She kept these little observations to herself, tucking a stray damp wave behind her ear as she sat down in front of him, her eyes now taking in the buffet of food that sat before her.

“Everything works, honestly I’m not picky when it comes to food,”  She smiled, letting out a chuckle of her own at his nervous gesture.  "I actually take my coffee black, so the sugar and cream aren’t necessary--But thank you.“  With the way everything was going, there was no telling how exactly the day would end. However, Adira welcomed whatever surprises that would come her way. Grabbing the nearby orange juice, she poured herself a glass, before clearing her throat softly.

She took the plate from him, starting to dive into what was laid out, humming quietly to herself as he stood.  "Nothing wrong with a little Netflix,” She noted, as he finally sat down. She placed a few pancakes on her plate, before piling on the syrup. “We could just lounge around, I don’t mind.” She told him, cutting her food meticulously before taking her first bite.

“Well I don’t need your negativity.It’s rare I am in moods like this anyway.”

[stregaxadira]

“Can’t always control others emotions--Unless you’re an empath. It’s just a fact of life, people are going to be rude as hell, you’ve just got to get over it and control your own mood, without the influence of others.”

[beth-corona-blog]

Panic surged through Beth.  “A-a-a-absolutely n-not.” It was impossible. Stiles doesn’t even talk to her, there’s no way he’d ever ever be interested.  “You’ve g-g-got to b-be wrong.”

[stregaxadira]

“I’m never wrong, it’s a gift,” She chuckled, amused by the sudden panic. “He was all over you, it was actually pretty sickening--I’d check for hickeys, you two were getting pretty heated on that couch, before you retreated upstairs.”
