No Idea [closed]

Still blushing, she managed a nervous laugh at his little joke and watched him go as he nudged past and pulled himself out of the water. Maybe it made her a hypocrite, but she couldn't look away even if she wanted to. Jace had always been... well... attractive. But the Jace she'd met on that first day of school and the Jace in front of her right now were very different people. The old Jace had been spindly, maybe even a bit pudgy. She'd laid that Jace out onto the floor with a couple well-aimed hits. Regular visits to the gym had turned this Jace into someone else. So she watched from the corner of her eye for a few moments, shamelessly, before pulling herself out after him, gasping from the cold.

Evelyn snatched the towel from his hand, all too glad to just have something to cover herself with. Walking to the boulder, where at least she could have the faintest semblance of privacy, she ran the towel through her hair and over her bare skin. When she was dry she threw on her shirt — still half soaked from Jace's earlier cannon ball — and then her skirt. The knife, her underwear, and her bra she just bundled up in her towel, casting Jace a certain look. I can make up for the fun we didn't have later...

Whether it was right or "appropriate" of her staring at him, he hadn't noticed either way as he dried himself off shamelessly in the open. Even if he did see her watching, chances were that he wouldn't have minded in the least. Hell, he might've even gone along with it, but as it was he said nothing; taking a seat after the towel was snatched out his grasp and drying the rest of himself off. It didn't take long for him to do so, throwing he clothes back on in a half-ass manner. While Evelyn took care of herself, he opted to stay there, burying his face in his hands to try and pass the headache by.

By the time he'd looked up again, he barely noticed the shape moving out again from behind the boulder, an almost expectant look in her eyes as she stood; arms wrapped tightly around her towel bundle. If only he had the knowing option to stare back at the moment, but his gaze and thoughts were growing far to fleeting. Still, Jace made the best of the situation he could even still, pulling himself to his feet and offering her his hand - much like when they'd left the first time. "At least the walk is short." He muttered with a small smile, looking towards another edge of the lake where the towering dorm rooms could be seen.

She took his hand with a small smile. Yes, a short walk. A short walk that would mean disaster and humiliation for the both of them if they were caught, but still, a short pleasant walk with all of Beata's beauties on display. The school grounds held a certain allure after dark. Back home, you could never see the stars, but here they filled the sky. Even after so long at the Academy, the sight still left her breathless at times. Beata, enclosed by sloping mountains, was a hidden diamond in the heart of endless fields of gold and green. and this is some kind of tangent jfc fillerfillerfillerfiller what does this have to do with anything i just got carried away i'm sorry i don't know what i'm doing i'm tired this whole paragraph is pointless ;_;

The walk went slower than she would have expected, picking their way through the winding dark forest trail and back onto the school campus. Thankfully, she couldn't see any students on their way back. Most had probably slipped off back to their own dorms in time for curfew. No Guardians or teachers showed their faces up either, thankfully. As the Headmaster's son, would the punishment for rulebreaking be harsher or more lenient?

Soon the dorm buildings had come into view, silhouetted against the night sky. Some windows were still lit up, and she could see the shadows of students in some of them milling around, but otherwise the buildings were dark. Evelyn took a deep breath, filling her lungs with crisp night air, and cast another fleeting look at Jace.

Neither of them said nothing as they slowly weaved their way through the forest and around the lake, but it didn't seem to bother him much. The quiet, dark night was relaxing, and the simple moving around was helping his aching head some. Every now and then he'd glance back at Evelyn, but she was a bit hard to see on the dim light. By the time they reached the dorms, he was running a few fingers through his hair, thankful that whoever was patrolling the grounds was slow on the go-around; not that there was much risk in the first place.

Glancing up at the back of the building, eying the few rooms with lights still on, he wondered if he should take Evelyn back to her room first. That would be the gentleman thing to do, even if her room was on the complete opposite side from where they were standing. Jace cracked a smile, glancing back at her again. "Alright -" He was about to urge them on when he noticed a few things off in the new light, like her shirt, still drying, was clinging to her frame, or the way she stood. "Eve, are you ...?" The Autumn flinched from his head, but he didn't seem to mind much anyways in that moment, a flush of red appearing across his face.
Okay, definate change of plans, he thought - walking off to his room instead.

So. Here they were. By his dorm. After dark. Just the two of them... She stood, looking everywhere but in his direction, nervously fidgeting with the collar of her shirt. The towel was still draped over her shoulders, soaking wet. She cast him another look, and just as quickly looked away, still blushing. Would he try to take her to her room? No. Nonono. Then Kimply would know. What if he left her at the front door? No. That couldn't happen either. Evelyn tugged more fervently at her collar, staring up vacantly at an orange-lit window. It'd just take a word. One word. One action. Then he'd get the idea. But --

At the call of her name, her head shot up. "H-huh?" she murmured, hardly louder than a whisper in her surprise, but he was already walking off toward his room by then, and without a word, she followed into that dark corridor she'd known from that day in the rain, into the dorm, and through that door where Jace's room was.

The place was still a wreck. Crumpled bed sheets, clothes strewn on the floor, the tips of a magazine sticking out from under his mattress, Claire Osborne leering down from the shelf. Evelyn let her hands fall to her side, fingers wrapping around the hem of her shirt. "J-Jace..." she murmured, when the door shut behind them and they were alone. "C-can... W-w-will..." She let out a deep breath, heart racing, dropped her gaze to the floor, and then looked up, steeling herself with new resolve.

Whatever.

Her hand shot out, grabbing him by the collar, and she stood up on her toes to press her lips to his, as forcefully as she'd done back at the lake. Then she was pressing him forward, until his back was against the wall. Evelyn broke off the kiss and looked up at him, breathing a bit heavier. She still hand a handful of shirt. and then this topic entered PMs. can't show that in a christian manga.
