It's almost Jin day woo!

[orderbourne]

"Well, I wouldn't have been staring if you hadn't-"

The man trails off, unable to suppress the chuckle that he had been fighting back. The two really were a ridiculous sight. Only a moment ago, they were sharing a tender moment, and now here they were, prodding at one another like usual. And despite that, they were holding on to one another with no intention of letting go...God, her warmth was comforting.

"No...Perhaps I am an idiot. I believe that much is more than clear."

At the mention of a resolution, he had to stop a for a moment to contemplate. When you could have damn near anything that you wanted with the snap of a finger, what resolutions were there to make? There was only one thing that he could think of, although given the circumstances, he need not say it. "I...think that I had one...Although it looks like I may have already completed it..."

Jin's eyes darted around the area. It looked like they had beaten the crowd and even if they hadn't, the two Majors were under the fall of darkness. That, along with the previous experience had given him the confidence to try yet again. The Hero of Ikaruga pulls the Silver Phoenix to his chest, tilts his head down, and delivers another kiss. His actions are much more confident this time, hand squeezing the woman's and an arm around her waist to keep her close. Truth be told, he could likely stay like this forever, were it not for the droves of people filling the area. There's a great deal of reluctance as he pulls away and releases his grip. Still, he smiles at her, even if a bit awkwardly.

"Mmm...I apologize for that...We should head home. I believe that we have a lot to talk about...away from others."

It's so sudden she almost gasps rather than reciprocate the kiss. But Gods did she do so as soon as it occurred to her to actually do so. Jin may have intended it to be quick, but Eira is not quite so placated. She holds him there, for at least a moment, before releasing. Her face flushed and eyes sparkling even brighter. The fire of her aura is flaring fiercely. Jin, you are absolutely feeling that warmth now as she holds onto your arm.

"I-I made you miss them? You were the one who was staring at me. And ... How is it... my fault to begin with? Idiot." She huffs, furling her hand around his arm. The flashes of light were dying down now, but the same couldn't be said for the flush on Eira's face. Nor the smile that repeatedly crept onto her features despite attempting to keep an air of being unmoved by what just happened. Oh, damn all that. She hugs his arm again.

"Happy new year to you as well, Jin." She can't look away, the excitement over that development. Over kissing him, bubbling up like she was a little girl or some silliness. "So. Have you made any wishes or resolutions?" She asks, blinking up at him. They walk together as the crowds disperse, making their way off the grounds.

"I've already told you that I can't take you home with me. I already have one furball to deal with at home..." The man probably looks ridiculous, dragging around the small, orange cat that was hooked on to his leg. Then again, it was pretty cute...

"Was anybody actually asking for this much snow? It's freezing enough without it..."

[orderbourne]

As the fireworks continue to light up the sky, the man's gaze doesn't shift one bit. Even the tight squeeze of his hand doesn't deter him in this moment. And yet...all he could do was stare. For what felt like an eternity, Jin Kisaragi didn't move a muscle. Dammit...His heart and mind were both racing so quickly that he was finding it difficult to move. If he didn't do something now, he would miss yet another opportunity and everything would go back to it's usual status-quo...Steeling himself, the man takes a deep breath, deciding to finally act-

His motion is swift, bending down to the Silver Phoenix's level and delivering the quickest of pecks to her lips. Just as quickly, he pulls away, turning back towards the sky as the colorful explosions begin to fade away, leaving the two of them in darkness. Truth be told, the Hero of Ikaruga preferred it this way with just how red his face was turning. He clears his throat, attempting to break any silence there may be...

"You made me miss the fireworks..." A joke, albeit delivered about as dryly as one would expect from one such as Jin. "...Happy New Year, Eira..." He couldn't quite think of what else to say in this situation. Hell, he wasn't even sure if he had just made a wise decision. Only time would tell...

@orderbourne sent: Somehow, the night had gone by without a hitch. Sure, Eira had worn an outfit that wasn't exactly optimal for a bike ride, but that was the most minor of setbacks. The park had more than it's fair share of activities and games to participate in and the atmosphere was lively, if not a bit hectic for Jin's usual tastes. The further the night came along, the more a crowd had begun to form in anticipation of the fireworks. As the clock struck 11:59, the countdown had begun and the chanting of the sizable crowd with it (although Jin was moreso mouthing along than actually participating). Finally, as the clock struck 12:00, the group had exploded into an array of claps, cheers and proclamations of "happy new year", as well as the literal explosions of color bursting in the sky. While the sight was beautiful, Jin felt his gaze shift down towards his companion, her face illuminated in reds, greens and blues. More than anything, he couldn't help but wonder what she was feeling in the moment...

There's a nostalgia to the night. It's not the same as what calls to mind, of course. But there were remnants. Small sparks like stars in the sky. Collecting together with trace lines to make that constellation from when they had visited the festival together that time before. How long ago was it? For the moment, she doesn't bother to recall.

3....

It's what's different, that strikes Eira. Jin had invited her for the occasion. Been forward about it, at that. A circumstance that has the woman feeling no small amount of giddiness. Thrill. Anticipation. And now they were standing together, eyes up to the sky rather than down on some silly games. Not that she didn't like them, but... that's hardly the point, here!

2...

She's waiting. For something to happen. If Jin had invited her out surely it was going to lead to something, right? It's bad for her to get her hopes up. To make a mountain out of the molehill. But with Jin, didn't you have to? For all the man's emotion and personality if you didn't try to read some kind of inference it was as though asking for stagnation.

1...

The clock strikes, the fireworks pop, and the cheers ring out for the beginning of another new year. Eira turns her head, having finished yelling out the well wishes in a sing-song voice. With her next breath, lips part as she blinks in near astonishment. He's staring at her. And she's waiting. For what, she does and doesn't know. But his hand had been taken by hers at some point, she realizes. Rather than releasing her grip on this discovery, she curls her fingers more securely, blinking upward.

Whatcha gonna do, Jin?

[orderbourne]

"As usual, you couldn't be more off the mark, Agent Date..." Honestly, how was someone like him able to solve a crossword puzzle, let alone a serial killing case? Jin couldn't help but feel a bit insulted...

"I would have assumed that a pervert like you would know that my girlfriend works at that tacky maid cafe...Honestly..."

closed starter x // @orderbourne

"No office romance on my watch," very immature huff at the other. His sight darts between the other and the oblivious secretary. No!!! He's not jealous!

[orderbourne]

Finally knocking out these asks. Let's fucking go!

[orderbourne]

Sorry for the delay on the asks, guys. Been a rough week all around. Two are done, but I'll get to the rest this weekend.

Nsf.w post because idk

Jin's got some absolutely crazy stamina in the bedroom. He just doesn't really...get tired? Not easily, at the very least. With how competitive he is, he's very quick to tease his partner if they start to show exhaustion though.

I wanna get more into writing this year, so like this post for an ask, maybe?

Merry Christmas to my followers!

[orderbourne]

I always appreciate when more serious/stoic characters have little moments like this.
