city felt like a hypocrite, telling him about how easy it was to rebuild yourself when all she ever seemed to do was fall apart. “i don’t know, but neither do you unless you try, right?” she offered, clearly not having any other answer. although they had their serious moments, for the most part they both tried to keep things light. she could tell that he was trying to move on from what he had admitted. “i’m serious zar, besides the fucking, if you wake up in the middle of the night and just need to talk, or sleep next to someone, call me.” zar went out of his way for her, was way too nice to her when she didn’t deserve it, and she felt that this was the least she could do for him. “oh so what did you bring enough lube for? certainly you weren’t expecting to have sex after breaking into this cool and secluded lighthouse with me? i mean, what kind of girl do you think i am?” city couldn’t hide the smirk on her face as she spoke. as soon as he was on top of her, she was leaning up to kiss him, her hands moving down his chest, stopping at his waist. “you don’t exactly have to be a gentleman all the time,” she muttered.
zar nodded, still looking a little unsure, but... but he was more likely to consider it, now. he would just like to talk, maybe. sometimes. or maybe just have someone hold him. “i will,” he muttered. his witty retort came off a bit wrong, a bit weird, his mind in a different place, “well, make a homemade slip and slide on the top, of course. i thought you were the type of girl to enjoy that kind of thing.” still, he didn’t feel the need to apologize or rewind. he felt... comfortable. being dorky with city. that was pretty new, honestly, basically since the start of this vacation. but it was... nice. it was fun. zar pressed into the kiss, smiling against her lips, sighing as she ran her hands down him. he pulled away, just to readjust and press his face into city’s neck, pressing wet kisses down her neck as he lifted a hand to caress her side, down, and then back up, all the way to her neck again. “oh? i don’t?” zar asked, making sure he was solidly on his knees before he slid his hand to the back of city’s head, quickly coiling his hands in her hair and tugging the both of them upwards. “good,” he muttered against her lips, kissing her thoroughly.
