It was late evening, the sun having just set as she paced back and forth in her living room. Tonight she was going to do the one thing she did not think she would ever do. Something she had vowed not to.
Looking at her phone she scanned over the message she had just sent.
Sighing softly she tossed the phone aside, letting it land on the couch as she shook her head. She was dressed in a pair of short shorts and a t-shirt, her long brown hair falling freely about her form and her feet bare. Her usual at home attire.
She had given the security the night off. It was stressful them not being here, but she did not need something bad happening with them around.
She had news for him, but she was unsure how to tell him.
Damnit!
Why did this have to be so nerve racking!
She was certain that he would just shrug and walk away, but still she was letting it get to her. She needed to stop!
Grabbing up her drink, brandy, something she usually did not do, but she had been trying to relax and not think about her current problems only to find them worse. Hence the message to Sky.
He had called saying he would be there shortly. So now it was a matter of waiting. Gah! Why did she have to be such a freaking girl.
Why had she let it come to this?
STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!!
Once more picking up her pacing back and forth as she let a little sigh pass her lips, her hand tucking into the back pocket of her shorts.
She had left the door unlocked, again, very strange for her. But then she had been drinking for awhile. So, yeah. Not drunk, but very relaxed. Heh

A slow and stealthy approach left his attention on the wind searching out any potential threats towards the estate, he was most often on guard now like a feral animal. Too many traps had he run into within the past weeks to find any of his concerns not suspicious, though the unlocked door reconfirmed a certain ounce of suspicion.
*Click*
The locks rolling out of place as he strolled in the front casually without that look of concern he bore but a second ago when he held steadfast outside those doors.
"You called?" A simple trickle of words.
eyes surveyed her drink casually without another word. How old was Kevala? and why was she in such a mood to be drinking heavily. There was certainly something curious in the air.

Yes sometimes she was glad that she could bribe people into getting her anything. Being 19 made it hard to get a good drink every now and then when one really needed it.
She did not hear the door open or him walk in, her mind lost on the matter she had called him here to talk about. That is until she heard him speak and she jumped. Letting out a little squeak of surprise.
She turned to look at him, her eyes shimmering in the light of the room as she bit upon her lower lip for a moment.
"S..Sky..You surprised me."
She would nod and then smile almost weakly. Like she was unsure if that was what she should do at the moment or not.
Reaching up to tuck her hair back behind her ear she would lower her gaze, drawing in a deep breath as she turned around and moved to take up her drink.
"I am glad you came. There is something I need to talk to you about."
Yeah she was nervous. Why she still did not know. He would not care. Probably be glad in the end. But she was a worrying type person.
Taking a drink now she would set the glass down and grip the edge of the bar, letting her head lower slightly as she thought of how to start this conversation.
"There is a slight......
Problem...."
Yeah, that was an understatement.

Problem? As if he wasn't born for problems. To live them, experience them, hell he lived to solve them. Problems were his lifeline and sustenance when he felt low, but now having Kevala tell him what was wrong made him flinch slightly.
"Yes... and?"
His emotions had been dulled and suppressed because there was surely no purpose in him overtly becoming so self conceited to jump towards conclusions and go burning down another house inconsequently ending in a serious killing spree. He'd wait there perfectly patient still dazed off of the clean aroma of an actual home, his having been kept in secret and under par condition wise to suit his needs.

Well Kev's home was the picture of homeliness. It was warm, inviting and comfortable. Not to mention the scent of the place seemed to be comforting and relaxing. Jasmine and vanilla, just a hint, not enough to be overpowering. Sort of the scent that Kevala herself carried.
Turning back around to face him she would draw in a deep breath and lean back against the bar.
"Okay, so, I know you wont care. Cause you dont really show emotion toward anything but...."
She paused here...unsure what to say.
Gah!!
How could she possibly be falling for a guy who showed about as much emotion as the damn bar she leaned up against?
Wait?
What?
Yeah, that was right, she was falling for him. And that was just the tip of the problems that stemmed from there. She cared for Spike, but with Gabe..er..Sky, it was more of a being drawn thing.
Not sure how else to explain it.
"Let me just ask this.
Do you know why I kissed you?"
Yes, that was good. Start there and work her way down. It would be good to get this over with soon as possible but for the life of her she kept letting her mind wander as to how she liked him being there in her living room...
~Stop that!!~
Mentally growling at her own stupidity!

Wait wah? A confused thought shot through his mind as he reacted quickly not to show any sudden flurry of emotive behavior, perhaps in his own defense. Curious eyes shot to hers setting up their own defensive barriers as to keep Kevala at a respectable distance from him.
Sky's pace took him around her at what he'd been eying up since he got there, the glass and of course the bottle of brandy. His large lengths took him towards the couch falling in it as though it was his own. A large hand would clasp around the bottle's neck while he poured himself a glass and sipped still holding each as though he'd need the entire bottle tonight.
And here he was hoping it'd be something like what Mitsukai was planning to do the night before.
"No..."

She watched as his eyes met hers, yeah, nothing there, or at least it was how it appeared. Though she was not entirely sure. Then he moved around her to grab up the glass and the bottle of brandy.
Oh well that was great, leave her without. Good thing she had plenty. Hell she did live with Katsu for a time did she not? Heh...Turning around she would move to the side of the bar, her back facing him once more as he took a seat on the couch.
She did not mind. The topic brought up was not a good one. She knew that. But hey, it had to be done. Hence why she would bend over, shuffling through the bottles on the bottom shelf and trying to find another suitable drink.
Finally she found another bottle of brandy. Not as good as the one he was not gripping, but it would do. As she stood back up she would grab another glass, pouring a drink and then going to stand back against the bar.
Those icy hues scanning over him once more. A thought once more entering her head as she did so.
~STOP IT~
Shaking her head she would take a drink and then sigh softly.
"Like I said. I know it makes not difference to you either way. So, I am just gonna say it.
Ever since the first day I met you....I have felt...drawn to you. I dont know why. Especially as of late. I mean you show no emotion and I know you would kill me if it met your ends. But still I...I..."
She growled lightly as her anger at herself came up, quickly taking another drink in order to push it down as she started to move.
Finally coming to a stop before him and taking a seat on the coffee table in front of where he sat. Close enough that her knee brushed against his. Though her eyes stayed on his own.
Not thinking anything of the closeness cause well..honestly..he did not care....so yeah..Heh...
"I know you may not have noticed it..but yeah....I find myself..."
She stopped again, letting her gaze lower to her glass as she struggled with the words that seemed to lodge in her throat.

Gabriel sat there baffled by the woman's rampant loss for emotions, though it was something he indulged in more than anyone he didn't need to suffer to them needlessly anymore because now he had Alexis. She was the woman he truly loved, and a great many times he'd been through this peril and suffered enough of the same painful experience. He wouldn't allow for this to go any further then when it started.
"I'm sorry if I lead you on Kevala, I had no intention of harming you in this manner." Of course it was the truth, heartbreak was above all things the worst pain imaginable it took another kind heart to heal the fractures one had to suffer.
Gabriel shifted only to set aside the bottle drinking down the last of his in hand. That was all he could fulfill at the moment, feeling entirely useless right now.

She raised her brow as she looked at him.
"Lead me on? Seriously? You almost threw me out a window....you broke my leg!"
She laughed softly as she downed the rest of her glass and then reached out, grabbing the bottle from him and pouring herself another.
Oh yeah, she was just...ugh!! Men!
"Look, I dont know why the hell I am so......drawn to you. I really dont. I care for Spike. I want to be with him. Sure it is still iffy but I do. But the problem is, that as long as I am around you I am still ....
I dont even know the right words to use here."
She growled as her eyes flashed to red, anger at herself rising once more as she downed the entire glass she had just poured and then proceeded to pour another.
"It would be so much easier if you actually got what I was talking about here. "
Shaking her head as she set the bottle down, this time a bit awkwardly. Yeah the booze was kicking in wasnt it? Heh
"Look, I trust you more than I should. I would follow you into anything..But this..this is pointless and I know that. Dont think I am some love sick teenage girl or anything. I get so mad every time the thought even enters my head.
But it is there just the same."

Gabriel chuckled slowly trying not to appear as though he was mocking her because in all ways it wasn't directed as such, Kevala was one of the most trustworthy people he'd encountered thus far in his attempts at collaborating at public high school #259. Chances are there were very few like her yet again there is always hope, a thing he clinged onto far longer than any other form or imagery.
"I understand... you only live once that is.." A small smile lighting his face at the humor in it.
"Though as I said, I'll be in contact..." He rose from his seat, not faltering but feeling the buzz strike his veins. Everything was of course fuzzy at the moment but he still had control of his motor functions and train of thought.

She was not exactly in the right state of mind but she still had her common sense..But as for now she had to ....
Wait...
Hey!
She was not done with him yet!
Hopping up from her seat, probably not the best idea in the world given the massive buzz that hit her in the instant she did such, but still. She would hurry to stand in front of him.
Her small hand coming up to push against his chest as she at least tried to stop him.
"I was so not done."
Her tone soft and yet slightly off. Yeah, can we say very buzzed Kevala? Heh.
"I have something else I need to discuss with you."
She would then bend around him, letting her hand come out so that she could grab the bottle. Deciding at this point to forget the glass and taking a shot directly from that which she held in her hand.
Shaking her head before once more standing there and looking up at him. A hazy, shimmering look in her eyes.
"Another issue has presented itself that I think you should know of."

Gabriel turned lazily to the door stopped only by the hazy span of words, a subtle look over his shoulder acknowledging her once again casually in that moment.
"Yes..." he spoke lightly expecting a quick answer.
of course recently everyone had just been dancing around the issues probably just to save themselves the slight moments of embarrassment or buy themselves time to consort with their souls. Regardless Gabriel was tired of waiting, simply put he was a man of action.

Well he was more buzzed than she was because at the moment, she was standing IN FRONT of him with her hand against his chest. Her brow raising as he turned to look back to where she USED to be seated.
Okay so that was some good shit.
But that was beside the point!
Gah!
Her hand coming up and lightly gripping his chin to turn his face toward her own. Those icy hues seeking his out as she spoke.
"Hey, over here big boy."
A light, slightly drunken little giggle slipping forth as she shook her head. Her fingers lightly resting beneath his chin, making sure he stayed focused on where she was...cause yeah...he had gotten a bit lost there for a minute.
"Look...Matrim has given me the title of HSN for 259."
She paused there, waiting on that to sink in before she would continue.

The name Matrim struck a chord of course, if nothing else he'd be furious at the mere mention of it but once again he'd grown out of that old skin of his and wanted to grow further. Old grudges were simply for children and the man wasn't a threat anyway, merely an over sized bully wanting to throw his weight about.
"So what do you want from me..." His voice held venom in it, his body reacting stiffly as though there was a hunter present of course his eyes narrowed to survey the room once over again shaking off the light buzz as though it were no problem at all.

She actually was stung by the tone he held in his voice as he spoke to her now. The look in her eyes softening, as she whimpered softly. It was a natural reaction. For her at least. Given that she did hold some type of connection to him, it hurt and made her understand and accept his place over her.
She was strange like that. But it was just the way Kevala was.
"S..Sky look..I..I wish to..I have been following you. Without question. I have given myself to you in every way possible that I am allowed to. I trust you. But....."
She would sigh, her hand falling away from him now as she let her head lower, biting on her lower lip as she reached into her back pocket, pulling out a letter she had written earlier. She would then reach out, taking his hand and forcing the letter into it.
"It hurts me too much to be near you and know that you will never once just.......... see me.......I have decided to follow him now."
She did not know if he would ever understand the "see me" comment but it was how she felt. She knew he was about to leave. She could tell from the look and the tone. He would listen to what she had to say and then simply push past her and leave.
It just seemed so........
Sky.....
"I beg you though. For all I have done for you. Please read this. It will explain my feelings better than I ever could."
With that she would step out of the way, her hands falling away from him completely as she waited on him to leave now.
