cerberus, pheme

Who: Cerberus, Charon (at the beginning), and Pheme
When: Friday Night
Where: School
What: Sadie Hawkins Dance, first french kiss :3
Status: Complete

Xander's leg bounced up and down at what seemed like 50 miles a second as he sat in the car. Pheme had said this was what a 'date-date' was, so he was super nervous. His hands fidgited with the small plastic container that held a delicate blood red flower on a black ribbon. Like any of his clothes even his suit was black on black, the lapel a soft black satin.

Looking at Charon, he wondered if having a driver really did impress people. Would others at the dance have one? Was it not normal to have one? He adored Charon, the man had never given him a reason not to, but would Pheme? Would she like any of them? He didn't know how the other Greeks viewed any of the Underworld. He had nevered needed to care.

The personality smirked and shrugged, still not saying anything. He rarely spoke to anyone but the others in the head, because though he was by far the most well-spoken his ability to see the future outcomes of conversations would get in the way. Gently taking her hand in his, he looked closer at the redness from the violent ones' grip and rolled his eyes. He had no concept of etiquette or how to treat people. Just as gently he lowered her arm and looked at Roxy's lip, opening his mouth in gesture that she should so the same.

That he wasn't saying anything was a bit disconcerting, but she supposed she could understand. Maybe he was worried that he might say something wrong, or he knew his more angry side was still lurking and waiting to pounce. Whatever it was, she felt the need to reassure him that she wasn't going anywhere, but then she noticed him opening his mouth and busied herself mimicking Xander's gesture. "Should I say 'aah' too, like when I go to the doctors?" she asked, jokingly, before quieting down so he could check her over as he seemed to want to.

A soft laugh came from him, as he looked at the small wound left by the Violent one. They had sharp teeth for a human form, it helped tear into the raw meats they preferred. Reaching into the first aid kit he pulled out one of the alcohol swaps and cleaned up the bit of blood from the cut. With a nod of satisfaction and a smile, he finally spoke. "It was a pleasure, as always." His voice was soft, like Xander's but still retained the ancient Greek accent of their past. But with that he relinquished control back to Xander.

The boy blinked again, his posture slumping slightly, but only now noticeable that he had been standing straighter as the other personality. The innocence also returned to his eyes and expression as he looked at her and smiled shyly- he had left them standing very close to one another with his hand falling softly onto her leg when Xander regained control. "I'm sorry... I guess I ruined our date-date."

The butterflies that sprang up in her stomach had nothing to do with his laugh, at least that's what she tried to convince herself of. Wincing at the sharp sting of the alcohol swab cleaning the cut, she was able to smile without it hurting and that was all that mattered to her right now. "You sure about that?" she asked, laughing a little even as she saw the clear indications that it was no longer him she was speaking with now. Her eyes flicked down to where his hand was resting on her leg, but Roxy decided it was best not to point that out in case he thought she didn't like it when in actuality she didn't mind in the slightest.

It was difficult for her to be angry when he looked up at her with those gorgeous blue eyes of his, and even though she knew she had every right to hold a bit of a grudge she just couldn't. Shrugging, Roxy took a moment to figure out what to say, reaching out to place her hand on his shoulder before speaking. "Apology accepted, and you didn't ruin things so don't worry," she replied, meeting his eyes. "That's not to say I'm cool with what happened, but I guess it's just something I'll have to get used to if I'm gonna keep hanging out with you."

"I know... I'll try to not let him do that again." His tone was that of a child being punished. Xander didn't like that he had done what he had done, leaving only Xander unaware, because the other personality knew most everything that went on eve when he did not. Pressing his lips together, he smiled once more. "You still want to keep hanging out with me?" Above anything else that made him happiest. "And... what about the kissing?" He added shyly. That was important also.

"He made it sound like you don't got any control over him, and I get that now, but I'm warning you and him that if it happens again I'll fight back harder." Roxy wasn't sure she could ever fight back hard enough to really stop him, but much as she liked Xander she wasn't going to let part of him push her around like that again. She smiled as well, rolling her eyes. "Well duh, of course I wanna keep hanging out with you, I didn't leave did I?" Roxy smirked at the kissing question. "What about the kissing? You think I'd let you hang out with me without any kissing?" Silly boy...

He had said try. Xander wasn't exactly the most controlling personality, that was left for the other two. At least the last one kept the violent one mostly at bay. "Well... he hurt your lip... maybe that would make you not want to..." A blush spread over his cheeks again, she made him blush often, even though any normal relationship it would be the other way around. Moving his hand to the side of her leg, he looked down, finally realizing where his hand had been the whole time. Blinking a few moment, he furrowed his brow in question wondering if he had been the one to put his hand their. It then sank in that his hand was on her leg and he suddenly removed it like it would be offensive. "Sorry."

She had already said all she wanted to about his more violent side and any potential repercussions if he got handsy with her again. "Yeah, he hurt my lip, but it'll heal. Besides, he did it, not you, so I'll get over it." And if he had done it, they wouldn't be having this conversation. She noticed the blush but didn't say anything, inwardly pleased that he was the nervous one now. When she saw the way he was staring at his hand on her leg she waited to see what he was going to do, sighing when pulled away like her leg had somehow sprouted thorns or was about to burst into flames. "You don't have to be sorry about touching my leg, I mean you were touching my waist earlier like it was no big deal."

Looking up at her, he chewed on his lip. "I know... but it's your leg... and, well, I didn't know who put it there." He murmured embarrassed. Xander was use to people not liking him too close once they met the violent one. Slowly he set his hand back down, still unsure, but at least this time he knew it was him who did it. He smiled again, cheeks still reddened. "And we aren't dancing."

He was so gosh darn cute when he did stuff like that, and acted all nervous. Roxy smiled, sliding herself closer as she licked her lips, careful to avoid the cut. "First, yes, it's my leg, and while you don't know who put it there the main thing you need to remember is I didn't move it. Second, sure, we ain't dancing, but that don't mean you ain't allowed to touch me. If I didn't want you to put you hands on me I wouldn't let you."

Xander nodded in understanding, though it wouldn't stop him from being unsure of it. It was in his nature since he took this form, in dog form the calculating one had taken the lead. He hadn't needed to talk and it had been purely about guarding Hades. Her sliding closer to him made him feel warmer, even if she wasn't pressed up near him. Which would probably make him very lightheaded if she ever did do that. "But... you'd tell me right, before you started hitting me?" He teased.

	Roxy was endlessly amused by how little either of them seemed to know about this dating thing, especially because she could tell she knew just a little more about it than he did and that made her feel smart. Not that she thought he wasn't, more like it made her feel in charge. "Well yeah, I even warned the other guy... sorta." She thought she did, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Xander shrugged. "He doesn't listen... but the other knows how to deal with him most of the time." He smiled shyly. Looking up at her, he looked between her eyes and her lips. He really wanted to kiss her, but he was worried it wouldn't be appropriate now that she was injured and they were in a very private classroom and so many other worries spun in his head. Too bad the alcohol had warn off so quickly or he may have felt a bit more brave.

Roxy nodded, grateful for any information about 'the other guy' that she could get. "Well, so long as someone knows how to deal with him, it should be okay. Hopefully." And if not, she'd convinced herself that she could handle it. But enough of that. She caught on to how he was staring and smirked. "If you're thinking about kissing me you should just go for it. My lip isn't bleeding, and I'm not breakable."

He smiled. She was breakable, he knew it, but he liked that she thought that she wasn't. He liked that she could tell what he was thinking without him needing to say something. He wasn't too good with words. Leaning in he kissed her lips softly at first, a soft sigh filling his chest like he had been waiting for that moment forever.

Placing his hand on her waist initially, he started to wrap his arm around her. His 'sister' had talked about kissing with the tongue, which until he looked it up Xander had thought it was something completely different and more dog like. But he had looked into it on google like that strange 4chan kid had suggested he start using.

She was glad that he was finally smiling again, not wanting things to stay weird between them because of something he couldn't really control. True, things could have gone way worse, but they hadn't and that was all it took for her to keep positive about them potentially having a future together. Things between them worked because she felt he was easy to read and he didn't seem to mind her assuming control. Maybe it was because he was used to being told what to do, though she'd never take advantage of that.

Shifting closer to the edge of the table so that he could more easily reach her she relaxed when his arm wrapped around her waist. Kissing him back softly, she carefully opened her mouth a little, poking her tongue out to lightly prod his with it. She had never kissed with tongue before, but other people seemed to like it and she was willing to try anything once.

Upon noticing her tongue coming out to find his, he started doing as the web had suggested he gently pushed his tongue against hers playfully. The sensation was ticklish to him, but it felt nice. There had been so many ideas to follow from the website he looked at, but he wasn't sure he was comfortable about most of them that dealt with other things beyond kissing her mouth. So he slipped one of his hands up into her hair, resting it at the back of the neck. It said to take control, but he wasn't really that type of person and he hoped she knew that. Sucking on the tip of her tongue, he kissed her bottom lip to keep things changing. His insides felt as warm as they had with the drinks and his arm tightened around her pulling her closer to him.

Feeling quite proud of herself, Roxy closed her eyes as her hands settled on his shoulders so she could brace herself. The fact that she had been the one to initiate their first kiss as well as this latest type of kissing, having stuck her tongue out first, was not lost on her, but she didn't mind. He had said before that he was new to this whole being human thing so maybe he worried he'd hurt her or something. Whatever his reasons were, part of her just figured he'd get more confident in time and learn that she liked doing these things with him. Of course, the more the kissed and stuff the more she'd wonder how serious he was about them, but that was a conversation for another time. Right now, she was just happy to be kissing him again.
