Moonlight Storytale Rendevues ~mature~

After everyone had eaten, he got Luca and Gigi settled into a room, Victor went to do his rounds before he turned in. Botz turned on the security including a heat scanner buffer which nullified heat source finding gear by keeping the entire house equal cool level. He too had turned in. Lokith had washed the dishes. Found a kids outfit in the closet and finished preparing for what they would eventually be doing. Time seemed to be passing by. Everyone had eaten. Everyone was sleeping. Lokith was in his own room sharpening his blades while moonlight filtered in through windows.

Around 11pm after checking on Luca and Gigi seeing they were fast asleep he went to sleep himself. For all of thirty minutes he slight lightly and restfully. Waking thirty minutes later and headed down the hall. Down the stairs and into the training area. Leaving the door slightly open as he changed into a pair of form fitting pants. his hair slicked back behind him as he set up targets. Punching bags and test dummys. Most all of which were hand made. Others moved with gear mechanisms silently under them. His fist hitting the punching bags. The face on most of the targets was his adopted fathers...anger issues a definite.

For the next several hours Lokith put himself through intense rigorous trainings. He had at least 8 pounds of weight strapped to his ankles, calves and upper leg muscles along with in similar places along his arms. His body seemed to be dancing as it went through the motions he'd had drilled into him. A high arch kick was spun into as he back flipped and grabbed throwing stars between each of his fingers. Launching himself into the air his arms cross before his naked chest. The well defined six pack and abdomin muscles rippling. Flexing and relaxing with the motions.

He released the throwing stars and hit three to the center of the skull...two to the chest and a couple below the belt but that was more his anger issues than anything else. As he jumped back to landing his hands shot grabbed his katanas and held them out to his sides as he charged the target dummy's. Moving through the deadly dance of blade strikes as if a motion of beauty not danger and death. Slowly he backed up and put the swords back. Standing there in a bright moonlight beam. Panting with his hands at his sides. Sweat trickling down his chest and accenting each contour of his chest. The moonlight causing his skin to have a glistening sheen due to the sweat on it. He just stood there for a moment as if frozen in time.

Luca was sleeping soundly for a while, nestled in with Gigi having tangled himself in the blanket, holding onto the fabric of his shirt. He didn't mind the child at all, even felt more comfortable snuggled up with him. In the middle of the night though, he started to get that mental impression of waterfalls going strongly through his mind, alerting his subconcious to a building urgency.

By the time he woke, he was almost frantic to wiggle out of Gigi's grasp, but managed to do so without disturbing the boy too much. Gigi went back to peaceful sleep as soon as everything stopped moving, and Luca quickly went in search of a bathroom, not actually certain where it was. 

He pushed one door downstairs that was already slightly opened, and froze. For a second, he wasn't certain what he was seeing. It was so bewitching he felt like he was looking into some vision his spirit-sight had conjured; though he could see Lokith breathing slowly and deeply as beaded sweat rolled down his skin, the blonde's red aura soaking up the moonlight.

Luca thought of saying something, though he just stood there staring like a goofball, totally enamoured and starry-eyed. It was a challenge to get one foot to move backward. He would have to muster up more motivation to actually turn and leave.

Lokith's chest rose and fell as he caught his breath. His hair falling slowly into his face. Several strands plastered to it from beads of sweat. His head slowly lifted up the minute he sensed someone else. He looked and recognized the motions. Moving quickly he was at the door. His hand slammed it shut. "Leaving so quickly? Sure you don't want to stare a bit more?" He asked with a sexy yet dangerous seeming smile. Still in the mode not fully himself. He looked Luca up and down slowly. The starry eyed look was intoxicating...he couldn't tear away his eyes.

As Lokith cleared the distance quickly, Luca managed to take one step in reverse, placing his back against the now closed door. One delicately curved brow arched and Luca thought he would nearly solve the issue that made him leave Gigi's side and go wandering around. That smile was so taunting, enticing him to something, and the notion made Luca's eyes sparkle with the almost electric feeling.

Now that they were alone, Luca couldn't resist taking things a little farther than harmless flirting, even if he knew it was likely a bad idea. 'Vash' said he didn't give up on what he wanted, and Luca felt for some reason it was necessary to test that. 

"How kind of you to offer." he teased back, carefully making it sound as if he were completely disinterested. "It would only be fair, since you got something out of earlier." So now it sounded like Luca was daring the other to admit to a scandal, while he was totally innocent.

It was clear he was enjoying the back-and-forth of words, though was he just all talk? Wasn't Luca the one that stated they couldn't be getting close and personal at all? Did he suddenly decide to forget that, or was he just playing some kind of demented 'i'm going to seduce you but you can't like it' head-game with Lokith?

Lokith was forcing his senses back into reality. He still kept Luca trapped to the door where he hands hold it shut. He looked the other over. Taking in the others scent....his voice. All of them he was using to bring him out of the state he'd entered into. "Hmmm?" He said with a smirk. "What is it that I supposably got out of this earlier? I haven't gotten anything out of you yet except a friend and an ally." He said simply. Looking at the male before him. "As well as helped back to my senses." He muttered in an aboriginal dialect. Looking at Luca as he moved a hand to trace the side of his cheek. "Kitten you're really beautiful...it be too easy to end up ensnared in your web...if I didn't have your safety to think about." He whispered against luca's ear.

Luca shook his head at the other's smirking, though he developed a little smile at the words friend and ally. He could count his friends on one hand. Though as Lokith reached out to touch him, the smile faded a bit. He knew he was pretty, and the name didn't help much. He had been mistaken for a girl a couple of times when he got to New York before changing into the sleek black Armani suit.
 
"You are right. There are complicated things to worry about." he said with a tone of mixed finality and sarcasm. He wanted as much as anything to simply forget all else and do something selfish and sinful despite the consequences. Though he couldn't. It wasn't that easy.

As 'Vash' whispered about it being for his safety, Luca drew back, shrugging away from the other's touch. Lokith might have noticed by now the fae-like boy was unusually cold to the touch. He was now warmer than usual.

His sudden desire to get away from the situation moved within the world in a way that would be hard for most people to explain. When Luca shrugged away from having his ear whispered into, he tipped backward. It caught him off balance, as his back had been pressed against the door. Luca stumbled and fell on his ass, yelping quietly as he hit the floor.

The green-eyed brunette had fallen through the door, with it never having moved.

It made him pause for a moment before he started to feel self-conscious, and his face turned a bit red while his eyes narrowed. Luca got up and quickly started limping away, rubbing his bottom. He wanted to go back to sleep now, and pretend this was just another dumb dream. Luca didn't want people worrying over him, especially not this person, this very minute.

The one low-key light in the hallway flickered as if threatening to go out, as did anything else electronic Luca walked past.
