Anxieties

Ethan
"We are going to have so much fun playing together."
There it was again. With her elbow on my shoulder, Akane was leaning into me. With that false innocent look, she was ensnaring in her trap again. Her fingertips ran up my torso. The mere warmth of it was enough to make me a bit 'bothered'. A feeling of frustration flooded over me as I realized that maybe my little kiss hadn't been enough to accomplish my goal of seducing her. Of being the one on top and in total control.
"Are we now?" I chuckled, a grin spreading across my face. I placed my hands on her hips and pulled her closer. My thumbs slid down her hipbones as I allowed my lips to make contact with her jawline. I kissed my way down her neck to her collarbone and then looked back at her with an amused smirk.
"What do you know? I certainly am having fun." I spoke in a low and playful tone.
"I suppose it's your move now." I raised an eyebrow, though something told me I wasn't ready for whatever she was about to pull.

Forever
With the slightly pained look in his expression, I worried about Setsuna. He had gotten up so quickly, that I wondered if maybe he wasn't okay. The thought ripped me apart considering I was just thinking of how strong he was. But even if he weren't as strong as I thought, I'm certain I would still feel this way with him: safe, secure, and comforted.
With my entire heart, I hoped that he was okay.
But he appeared to be, as his tall frame leaned in the doorway. Something did seem to be a bit off about him but whatever it was vanished as he spoke.
"So, what are the chances of me being able to convince you to lay down and take a nap with me?"
I blinked and I could feel my skin flush once again. Standing up, I walked over to him and nodded eagerly and happily, not wanting to stumble over my words with excitement.
I led him to my bedroom and sat down on my bed, gazing at how fantastically gorgeous he was and awaiting him to lay with me.

(I'm confused? Is the thing with Setsu like a physical thing or? I suppose I want to know more about it >.< but if you would rather just reveal it as you go in posts that's perfectly okay. C:)

BrokenTear
The atmosphere surrounding Yuki and I became surreal to me. The playful and mischievous girl I had stolen and even played tag with had become this mature woman that I had no idea existed. Her tone was very serious and cautious. Very much unlike her usual way of speaking her mind.
As I listened to her speak, I looked at her and was a bit dazzled. It appeared like she was even aging physically. Her red eyes weren't so bright with youth but more of a burgundy color. It wasn't anything more than a subtle change but I couldn't help but be startled.
"I don't know, maybe I don't understand, but...I think your wife and daughter would understand if you let them rest. I think they'd be fine with it so long as you were happy."
She ended her thoughts and gazed out at the night. My mind was spinning. Because though Yuki was definitely right, I just wasn't sure of myself.
"I think I should let them go. I'm sure that the two of them would be so relieved to finally be put out of their misery. I think... I think I want to do it. But I'm not sure I'll be able to bring myself to do."
I closed my eyes and let the wind brush across my face. I ran my hand through my hair and pushed it back out of my face.
"I just feel so guilty. And... I hope I never ever do anything like I did, to you. To any of you."
I never actually could remember what I did to my prisoners. I could remember my vision and hearing just suddenly going blank. During one instance, I remember the only voice I could hear was Alyssa's. She would be crying. "You're a monster." Her cries would echo. I would become so distraught, so flustered. How could I be the monster? When I'm the one who saved her?
She wouldn't let me near our child for a while after I had these episodes. I remembered hearing Lilith's little questions in a room away. "When is daddy coming home?" And Alyssa never would answer, just tell her to go to sleep.
No, I couldn't let this happen again. I already care about Yuki so much. I... I never ever want to hurt her. Or any of my other guests.
I sighed heavily and looked back to Yuki.
