Caesii And Yu Ch. 01

"Down there, I believe." Strify said, trying to slip an arm around her waist. She shied away from it, and accidentally into Yu's. He was surprised for a second, then tightened his grip on her. She was happy with this arrangement and stayed there, but he felt obligated to release her, even though it was considered too soon for both parties. The doors dinged, then opened. Strify walked out first, seemingly pissed. Yu and Caesii hung back this time, and their hands continued to brush against the other's as they walked. Yu extended his fingers toward hers, and he took her hand. They walked for a few strides like this, but as they came around the partition that kept the others from seeing this exchange, they each released the other. Caesii took the seat nearest the wall, and somehow Yu beat Strify to the only seat next to her. Kiro pushed a drink toward her, and she tentatively took a drink.

"How...how did you know??" she asked, looking around at Kiro, Shin, and Romeo. They all looked at Kiro.

"Lucky guess?" he tried, shrugging.

"Not buying it!" she said, laughing and putting one hand under the table, glancing at Yu as she did. Soon, his hand appeared next to hers. He laid it on top of her knee, and she slipped hers underneath it. "Tell me the truth. How did you know? Stalker?"

"No, I am not stalking you. Strify told me. You told him in one of your emails." Kiro was looking at Strify, as was everyone else at the table.

"Did I really? I forgot all about that." she said wonderingly.

"Yeah, actually, you did. If you check your minifridge, there's just about a lifetime supply." Strify said without looking up at us. His eyes were glued to something under the table that apparently captured his attention better than anything else. Caesii wondered if he could see her and Yu's hands entwined from his seat, but she doubted it. The last thing she wanted to was to jeopradize her working career, espicially with these amazing guys who seemed to get her perfectly.

*~*~*

Dinner went nearly seamlessly, except that Strify's eyes continued to bore holes into whatever he was staring at so intently. It seemed to distract him from everything around him. Except drinking, and ordering more. Caesii couldn't help but wonder if he really could see Yu's hand on her right knee; she was a righty, and needed her right hand to eat. While she was, she kept her left hand either on the table, around her Mt Dew, or on top of Yu's hand. By the time dinner was through, Yu and Caesii had been in constant contact, and Caesii was feeling his touch, deep in her body. Although he had not touched her at all, not in a single suggestive way, it didn't change the feeling she got from him. They stood up together, feigning exhaustion. At this point, Strify was on his way to being too drunk to care. As soon as the pair rounded the partition again, their hands connected again. They glanced at each other, then ran to the elevators. They just stood in the other's arms; they weren't kissing, weren't groping. Both of them savored the sweetest moment either had felt; just being in nearly full contact with the other was perfect. Caesii was five foot 6 inches, Yu six feet nothing, he had a good head on her. His was bent over and leaning on top of hers. They were wrapped so tightly in the other and so content to stand like that forever, that they didn't notice the ding of arriving at their floor, the sixth, until it was almost completely closed. Caesii kicked a leg out, stopping them. Yu walked her to her door, holding her in his arms the whole way. He kept one arm over her shoulders, she had one around his waist. When they finally got to her door, they turned and looked at each other with identical looks of sadness on their faces. Neither wanted to end the fantastic they shared. Caesii looked into his eyes, and said, "Yu. We can have more fun if we go to sleep." She wrapped both arms around him, and they gave the other one last squeeze, then released the other. As she dug in her purse with her back turned to him, he wrapped his arms around her waist, and held her until she opened the door. She turned as gave the very final hug for the night. Yu leaned down and kissed her cheek gently. As Caesii got into her room, she once again leaned against the door, sighting in contentment. She slumped against it, not being able to come up with anything that could have been better. Except, if they had been able to spend more time together...She quickly stripped down, and turned off her phone before she could call him and ask him to come back. Caesii climbed into bed, and lay there, recapping the night in slow motion repeatedly, until she finally fell into a dream-filled sleep; each one was occupied by Yu.

*~*~*

She finally woke to the sound of the phone in the room ringing. She answered, finding out that Yu had set an alarm for her, so they could get to the studio. Caesii turned on her phone, calling Yu. He said the other members were leaving before he figured we could...so we could go together. She smiled, and went to take a quick shower. She got out, fixing hre makeup, and hair. Caesii quickly chose an outfit, tight Tripps, and a corset top, along with Yu's hoodie. She walked out of her room, right as Yu was walking up to her door. He at first seemed to be embarassed and scared about how this day was supposed to be. Caesii took his hand swiftly, and wrapped it over her shoulder. She looked into his eyes yet again, and smiled. The tenseness in his body went away almost immediately. He rested a hand on her shoulder. She wrapped one around his waist. They walked to the elevators, and out to the 350Z like this, when they finally disconnected. He handed her the keys again, and she drove to the studio with occasional directions from him. They made it there in record time, actually just after the others did; they had met with zero traffic, while Strify, Romeo, and Kiro's shared cab had spend nearly a half hour in dense traffic. Finally, they walked in. Before they began, they all ordered out for breakfast; they had missed the one at the hotel restaurant. Caesii went outside for a smoke while they waited for it to arrive. She had only been outside for a few seconds before the door opened again. She panicked for a split second, before realizing she was in LA, not a small town and nobody here cared if she smoked or not. It was Yu; he came out to her, and asked if he could bum one from her. She oblidged and handed him one out of her pack. She held out the lighter and he lit up, inhaling deeply. She stood next to him, both leaning against the wall.

They just looked at each other, smoking. Suddenly, Yu put his hands on either side of Caesii's head, leaning against the brick wall. He watched her pupils dilate, then smiled and backed away. He was trying to be funny; Caesii quickly decided to get back at him. He had gone back to leaning against the wall next to her. She stamped out her cigarette, walked over to where he was standing against the wall next to where she had been before. She copied his movements, placing her hands on either side of his head, then leaning in further than he had. She didn't have to stand on her tippy toes to get as close as she wanted but she still had to stand up completely straight. She moved so close that if he had puckered his lips, they would have touched her forehead. She moved one hand to his chin, gently pushing up. She then leaned in, and planted a kiss on his neck. Caesii smiled at him, then turned to go back inside. Before he knew what he was doing, he had wrapped a hand around one of her wrists. He stood looking at her, until she turned and stared intently into his eyes.

"Yes? What would you like?" she asked.

"This." He answered, dropping his cigarette, and pulling her into his arms. He pressed his lips to hers, gently yet so passionately she felt as though she couldn't hardly breathe. He held her against him, and ran his tongue slowly and swiftly over her barely parted lips. When they both needed to breathe, they disconnected their mouths, but not their arms. Standing together, breathing hard, and looking into the other's eyes, they had a deep moment...that is, until the arriving food delivery guy interrupted rudely. They jumped back from the other, staring at the new arrival. They got the food, and on their way in, Caesii stopped Yu.

"I have a question."

"Yes?"

"What does this mean?"

"I hope it means we're together." Caesii blushed and agreed. They took the other's hand silently, and walked back into the main room of the recording studio like that. They set the food down on the table, and settled into the couch with their breakfast burritos. Yu kept his arm on the back of the sofa resting halfway on her shoulders. Caesii leaned into him, drawing curious stares from Luminor, Kiro, Romeo and Shin. Strify was missing for some reason...
