He spoke of waiting until after the threat was neutralized but that wasn't good enough for her.<br/><br/><strong>"We have been here together from the beginning, Jeremiah! Now, because of some bratty, entitled Blessed, you wanna vanish to..."</strong>she looked back down to the letter<strong>"...Bora Bora... really?"</strong>She raised an eyebrow.<br/><br/><em>"You make it sound like we're a couple, Akira..."</em><br/><br/>That hurt, that hurt her more then she expected it to. They have been through a lot together and she did in fact care for him. They may have never crossed the threshold of romance, but that didn't mean she didn't care. They both were busy, they had responsibilities,  there was no time for romance... at least, that's what Akira always told herself.<br/><br/><strong>"You're right..."</strong>she finally spoke<strong>"...but couple or not, I thought we were in this together."</strong>she added.<br/><br/>As his hand grazed her cheek and his other found her waist, the static in the air diminished. She couldn't help but find her self leaning into his touch, something about him always seemed to calm her. He knew how to handle her demons, silence them.<br/><br/><strong>"Its not that...."</strong>she began to protest but even she had a hard time believing that. She couldn't deny that she felt hurt by his request, she shouldn't be. Its not uncommon for Elders to move around. Why did it bother her so much.<br/><br/>She found herself looking up at him, them being inches apart. Without even thinking she leaned up, placing her lips against his. She spent so long focusing on being perfect, on leading, on working.... she forgot about herself. Never letting herself get close to anyone. The only people who she ever really opened up to were Jeremiah and Nenene...
