Forgetting It All ( Patrick )

[Kazumi O'Connor]

She felt the blanket wrap around them, and then his hands slid into her hair, a soft little moan released, loving the way it felt to have his fingers lacing through those silken strands of hair. No matter the context of the moment, any time he did that, it sent a shiver down her spine. By far one of her little quirks...Not sure if he had picked up on it, but sure he would eventually.

As he rolled on top of her once more, the blanket wrapping tightly around them, the intimacy of the moment was not lost on her. Not that she minded one little bit. No, she loved it because she knew that come tomorrow, she would be without him and once more those feelings would begin to surface and consume her. So for now, she would take every bit of closeness she could get with him, every bit of intimacy.

Her tongue slowly caressing his own, exploring his mouth, she would tilt her head just enough to further deepen the kiss, one hand remaining at the back of his head, fingers brushing through his hair as the other would slowly move to trace along those wings that had been cut into his back. As always, her touch did not lack in affection and tenderness....Never when she touched him did it lack in such. Always soft....always affectionate....Almost as though it was natural to her, which, when it came to him, it really was.

Shifting her body just slightly she would press herself upward into him, not so much to tease, but in order to show him of her desire and need for him. She knew she loved him, Gods how she knew it...but she couldn't say it....Though she would pull back, laying back upon the blanket and looking up at him with those shimmering blue eyes. "I need you Patrick....Without you, I am so lost....so empty inside....I don't know what I would do if I lost you....I...I just don't...." She shook her head....biting her lower lip softly. She couldn't tell him she loved him, fear holding her back....but at the very least she could tell him the next best thing...Hopeful that it would not push him away, make her seem too needy or clingy....

She would give him a moment to respond, those eyes so full of emotion and honesty....then, lifting her head, press her lips against his once more, hand at his back pulling him down into her that much more and a soft little moan erupting from within her throat. This time, more passion and intensity given to the kiss, though never lacking in her affection....Not once.

Oh yes, he was beginning to notice her liking his hands running through her hair. Which didn't bother him any because well, he loved doing it. He loved the feel of her hair in his finger and hands, the soft strands of her hair silk to his touch, and the warm feel of her head under the hair. As the kiss continued to deepen Patrick would give out a long sigh, completely happy with the moment. He really enjoyed the closeness of these moments, for more then just the sex, though that was pretty great itself.

He loved her fingers when they traced his scars, the feel of her soft silken digits on his skin always making him feel loved, her touch never lacking in affection. As she did this though one hand would slide down from the back of her head down her side slowly taking the time to feel every curve of her figure, every soft detail of her skin.

As she broke the kiss rocking up into him Patrick would let out an affectionate, but mischievous little grin before she spoke those words to him. Those words that made him bubble up on the inside. They were just short of the big three, but they were still pretty great. Her next words giving him slight pause, before he shook them off though whispering softly into her lip, "Let's not worry about that babe. I need ye just as much as ye need me."

And then she would lean up kissing him again, pulling him into her lips. Patrick would return the kiss with just as much passion as she put into it, his hand that still grasped her head pulling him in that much more as he deepened the kiss...

As she heard those words against her ear, she would pause. She knew better than to think on such things, but she could not help that those thoughts constantly lingered at the back of mind, that fear that she was going to lose him. It would kill her....Plain and simple. Yet, when he told her that he needed her just as badly as she did him, her heart began to race that much more. It was not those three words, but it was so close that it stirred up those emotions that she held that belonged solely to him.

Nodding, she would smile just before her lips met his once more. A soft tremble given as his hand traveled down her body, the rough texture of his hand against her delicate flesh drawing a soft gasp from her, through the kiss. Then, as he pulled her in closer, using that hand that remained tangled within her hair, she would moan...her head tilting slightly and fingers slowly traveling upward along his spine.

Once more her hips would rock upward, teasingly pressing herself against him as she allowed him to feel just what he did to her each and every time he touched her. A slight whimper, almost as if pleading with him, begging for him. She knew there was no need, she knew that he wanted to be with her just as much as she wanted to be with him, but it was just one of those things that she could not help.

Her passion and desire was intense, increasing with every single moment that passed....Deepening the kiss, she would caress his tongue with her own, her fingers lacing through his hair, pulling him into her all the more and only proving to further demonstrate how badly she wanted him in this moment. Though, to be honest, it was at any moment. She didn't think she would ever get tired of this closeness that she shared with him. Never tire of feeling this sort of connection with him that she had never felt with anyone else and that she doubted she would ever feel with another. Her hand sliding away from his back and moving to his hip, gripping him rather firmly as she shifted her body and pulled him down into her more fully....

TIME SKIP

[Legion]

Patrick would let out a little groan as she rocked her hips into his. Teasing him, though he loved the contact, rocking his hips right back against hers. Feeling her hand run up his spine he'd give a little shiver, he loved the feel of her soft fingers as they brushed against his back, against the scarred texture. As the kiss deepened Patrick felt her tongue caressing his own, only to circle his around her in turn. As she pulled him in further his free hand would once again slide down her side as he felt hers doing the same. Patrick couldn't help but thinking how perfect this was. Even though he had been with, and loved Zea, this was different. He didn't feel like he had to hide with her. For some reason this felt so much more real. Not that Zea hadn't been great, but still. Patrick loved his time with Kazumi, never afraid that she'd reject him for his past.

As her hand made its way to his hip as his did to hers he'd grasp her as she did him, with a gasp and

TIME SKIP

His heart racing he lied facing her curled up in the blanket. Looking at her lovingly his hand would reach up out of the blanket stroking back some hair and resting on her soft cheek. With a smile he'd whisper, "There isn't another one like ye, Kazumi."

Everything about this moment, just perfect...

[Kazumi O'Connor]

She laid there, her breathing labored and heavy as she felt her heart pounding away rapidly within her chest. Eyes closed, they would open as she felt his hand brushing back a few strands of her hair. Currently she was laying there on her side, facing him, a little smile gracing her lips as she felt his hand resting upon her cheek. Then, when he spoke, she would reach out and lightly trace her finger along his scar. Delicate as always, affectionate and loving....

"There will never be anyone like you either baby..." A soft little whisper before she would inch forward just a tad and lightly brush her lips against his before scooting down just a bit and nuzzling her head against his chest, simply curling into him and closing her eyes once more. A deep breath drawn in, taking in his scent which was not tainted with the slightest hint of lilac....just like she was certain that his scent now lingered upon her. Which, to be quite honest, she kind of liked.

Feeling his warmth against her, she would let out a soft, content little sigh, simply savoring the moment and allowing her mind to wander just a tiny bit. "Baby..." She paused for a moment, thinking about what she wanted to say and finally settling on the right words. "I want you to know....that I have never been as happy as I am when I am with you....Even before the whole thing with Earth...." She knew it was a little random and yet it felt like the right thing to say just then. Lips brushing against the bare flesh of his chest before she would simply nuzzle into him once more.

[Legion]

Patrick would smile as her hand came up to his face, finger tracing his scar. His eye closing as he allowed the finger to move over his eye. This touch of hers, was probably one of his favorites, just because it was so uniquely hers. His smile widened when she told him, basically the same thing that he had told her, but with her own unique twist. Some may call it a cliche lover thing, but Patrick knew the truth. She wasn't just saying those words, she really meant it, and that meant the world to him.

As her lips brushed his he would steal a quick little kiss from her, before she moved to nuzzle into his chest. Patrick's hand moving from her cheek to hold her head to his chest, stroking her hair affectionately. As she did Patrick would take a slight inhale of her scent before letting out a rather content sigh. There really wasn't anywhere he'd rather be right now then here, with her wrapped in his arms.

When she told him her feeling about being with him Patrick would smile, even though he knew that she couldn't see it. He really appreciated it. Even before earth, after he had pushed her away, pretended she didn't exist. Pretended that she didn't mean any thing to him. She was so much more then he deserved. Patrick would smile as he said softly, "Kazumi, my feelings for ye never changed. Even when I was pushing ye away I still really liked ye, cared about ye. I'm glad that after all that, ye still want me. It's more then I deserve, and I appreciate ye that much more for that."

[Kazumi O'Connor]

She let out a content little sigh as she felt his fingers softly toying with her hair, stroking it in an idle fashion as he held her against him and spoke up about his feelings toward her. A little smile once more curling upon her lips as she softly traced her fingers down along his side. Content in this moment and not wanting to move at all, even though she knew eventually they would have to.

"You deserve more than you give yourself credit for baby." Speaking softly before pressing another light kiss against his chest and then nuzzling into him, just breathing in his scent and letting it relax her and calm her in a way that nothing else really could, savoring the feel of his arms wrapped around her small frame.

"Well, I just figured that you could use somebody who didn't give up on you the first chance they got....Somebody that didn't run away..." She shrugged, being rather honest about that whole thing. There were several reasons that she didn't give up on him, that she didn't stop trying....those being some of the main ones. Though of course there had also been that feeling for him which drove her to keep trying as well, as though she somehow was afraid that she would lose it forever if she gave up on him and allowed him to push her away like that...."Figured maybe you needed somebody just as stubborn as you are..." She was teasing about that last bit, a little giggle escaping her, though she did try her best to sound oh so serious....She just yeah....failed.

[Legion]

Her finger traced down his side, sending a little shiver down him, feeling the same as she did. Her really didn't want to move at all, though eventually that time would come. But for now he was comfortable with pushing the idea out of his mind and enjoy the moment for as long as possible.

As she told him he deserved more then he though he did, Patrick smiled. He disagreed, but he kept his mouth shut. He was glad that she thought so. Not out of some idle sense of vanity, but because deep down, perhaps he needed that. Someone to tell him that he deserved, something, if not more. Someone to bolster his own self image. But he also knew that he was not a good guy. He had done a lot of reprehensible things, but still he liked that she believed that. Smiling as she kissed his chest softly.

When she told him she thought he needed someone who would run he'd grin. Someone like her perhaps? Though he didn't want to ruin the moment or interrupt her so his lips remained sealed. But joking aside he really appreciated the sentiment. He loved her for not running away when he had pushed oh so many times. Patrick was glad that her persistence lasted longer then his stubbornness. If it hadn't, they wouldn't be lying here today.

"So someone not too stubborn then?" Patrick chuckled at her joke, finding her giggle quite cute, his arms tightening as he joked, holding her closer to him...

[Kazumi O'Connor]

At his joke she would giggle lightly and then shake her head. "Nah, not too bad. I mean, every girl wants a boyfriend who could make a mule jealous with how stubborn he can be." Feeling his arm pull her tighter against him, stifling back another little laugh at her own joke.

Truth be told he wasn't THAT bad, well not when it came to her at least. Though she was sure he they would have their moments in the future where they would clash due to their stubborn natures. Holding her eyes closed, she would let out a little content sigh and otherwise fall silent. She didn't know how much longer they could manage laying here like this together, but she was going to make the absolute best of what time they did have.

Her small form fitting so perfectly into his arms and against his larger frame, his scent surrounding her and soothing her into a rather calm, relaxed state. Idly her fingers would continue to trace along his side, slow and gentle movements...nothing more than a desire to feel his flesh beneath her touch and to feel him against her. Slowly but surely memorizing every bit of his body, every curve, every scar, ever muscle outline.....

Once more a little sigh would be released, content as was the ones prior....though she would silently mouth the words "I love you"....sure that he could not see her nor tell that was what she had done. Then, with that matter once more dancing through her mind she would simply nuzzle into him and then fall still. Content to just lay there until it was time to head back.

[Legion]

"Oh?" Patrick asked with a chuckled, grin crossing his features, "Well then I'd say ye got yer hands on a prize piece here."

Patrick chuckled again, his hand moving back to idly stroking her hair. He knew that their time here was going to becoming to an end, all too soon. But damn it, he was going to make the most of it. Her warm body pressed against his under the blanket, protecting them from the cool breeze. It couldn't be more perfect right now, her scent wafting into his nose as he gave a sight, completely content right not. Hell, if he slept, now would probably be the time, he even dared to say that she made him comfortable enough to not mind trying.

As he lay there, with her in his arms he thought about them. About what they were doing, where they were going. Seemed like valid things to consider. Not that he wanted any of it to end, but damn. The way she made him feel. He never thought he could feel this way. Not anymore, hell he had closed off that idea a long time ago. But here it was rearing its pretty head. Patrick smiled again, sighing once more. It really was a shame that it was to early. Decided that if he couldn't say it, at least she couldn't see him. Mouthing, "I love ye..."
