No, what Lux said was definitely not funny, even if it was true. "True. I guess all that's left to do is celebrate the fact that you're alive." There was a definite tone to Troy's voice that said that celebrating had everything to do with the current situation, in so far as Lux would let it go.
Really, Troy couldn't imagine a world in which he didn't want Lux, for all that she was. Even if she couldn't accept parts of her, he was sure that he couldn't ever see her any other way. Sure, his opinion could change, but so far, his feelings had only ever strengthened. And this afternoon was no exception; whatever had motivated him to open up to Lux, to tell her how he felt had been a good thing. She needed to hear that she was wonderful and he needed to be close to someone--for the first time in his life. Troy had to admit that the sound that his attentions drew out of Lux was interesting and exciting, seeing as he'd never heard her make that sound before. The smile on his face grew into an outright grin as Lux managed to take her bra off with one hand. Before he could stop the movement, his head tilted to the side in awe at her dexterity--and then he was rewarded with the most beautiful sight he'd ever seen in his life. His mouth opened into an "o" shape as he drank in the vision that was Lux's naked breasts. "Oh, God," he murmured as his gaze found hers again, his eyebrows lifting. How in the world could she be this beautiful? And how could he be so lucky? A lopsided grin found its way onto his lips as he bent his head to her skin, his mouth brushing kisses over the smooth flesh. His hands came up, caressing the indescribably soft skin. His mouth found one of her nipples and he darted his tongue out shyly, hoping Lux liked it.
Unlike certain fire elementals Troy would rather not think of at the moment, he was not quite as good with intense heat. And right now it felt like his body was way too warm to be comfortable. He wriggled a little bit beneath Lux in order to work his own shirt up and off. There. That was much better. He gave her a lift of his shoulders before his mouth found hers again, his fingertips continuing to caress her bare breasts.
