He listened as she talked about what it was like to be a mermaid, how she didn't know any of her own kind besides family. It was a little upsetting, she didn't deserve that. Sure, Dimitri didn't know any other demigods, but he knew for a fact there were more out there. Most coming from a god-like parent that was different from his own, but still, they knew what it was like. He just had to find them, and he knew he would at some point. But in the here and now, Alannah was certainly better company than any demigod he'd find. She'd said he'd watched too much Disney, and he decided it probably wasn't the best time to tell her he was completely unfamiliar with what that was. Dimitri's childhood consisted more of dirt and cucumbers than anything else, especially when it came to television and movies. The place he came from was practically half amish for that matter.<br/><br/>He smiled as she spoke still. Some of the things she said weren't the happiest, but even then, they were happy as long as they were coming from her. It was suddenly then that she got closer to him. He didn't even attempt to back away. Just feeling the grasp of her hand was something new entirely. The way she reacted to his questions was kind, he couldn't help but grin and feel overjoyed. It was then suddenly her hand was brushing his hair out of the way, and she cupped his cheek. He couldn't help but feel the feeling of red hit his cheeks. All he could possibly do was stare and grin like a fool. Her hand moved to the back of his neck and suddenly they were connected, by their lips. His eyes widened for a second before they closed. And for a moment, nothing else in the world existed. There was no search for parents, no need for more powers, no more disgust at what he was. There was just him, Alannah, and a sense of bliss.<br/><br/>He hadn't even noticed that his only free hand had found its way to rest on her hip, giving her a light pull towards him. He felt the need to be as close to her as possible. He could only describe it as the opposite of claustrophobia. He wanted the rest of the world to go away so it could be just the two of them. He wanted to be as close to her as humanly possible. He wouldn't dare pull away, he didn't know how long it would last. When the kiss ended six or seven seconds later, Dimitri kept the same distance he'd had during the kiss. He was right in front of her, completely breaking personal boundaries. He stared blankly for a second before just whispering the only thing he could think to say. "Alannah. That was... blissful....."
