Elemental | KTH | ??

I slept in the next morning, since this was our full day off.  

Just as I was getting out of bed, a knock on my door came and I saw Elle poke her head around the door, "most of the Vampires have gone to feed, and I'm going for a swim if you want to join me, the swimming pool is at the end of the corridor downstairs"

I yawned, "I'm probably just going to have a long shower. I've just opened my eyes"

Elle smiled, and gave me a wink before shutting the door.

I went and drank a full bottle of water, grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl downstairs, as I could hear some laughter from the common room.

Jimin and Hobi were watching TV, both dressed similarly to me in lounging clothes. Hobi gave me a big smile as he saw me in the doorway.

"Where's Joon?" I asked.

"Library, you've spiked his interest in Fairy history" Jimin replied, smiling also.

I grinned, and waved as I turned to go back upstairs.

I flexed my barrier, finding that Tae was inside of his room, and I wondered idly on what he was doing, as I grabbed my things to shower. I rooted through the box that Olive gave me, finding new things to try.

As I stood under the shower, the hot water felt great. I let my hair fall down behind my back as I wrapped the white towel around me. The only downside about these cubicles, was that there was no mirrors, so I had to go outside to the row of basins.

My hand stretched over to the lock, and I rose an eyebrow.

"Are you stalking me?" I called out.

I heard Tae's chuckle, as I opened the door.

He was leant back against the basins, arms folded over his chest.

I walked over, putting my little bag on the counter to the right of me, since Tae was on my left. He tilted his head down to look at me as I leant my head back to grab my damp hair, and brushed it out. I pushed out the heat, to dry my hair faster.

"Clever" Tae breathed out, feeling the heat from me.

"It's very handy" I smiled, looking at his profile in the mirror in front of me.

I rooted through the bag, grabbing some face cream.

"I don't know what half this stuff is" I muttered.

"Ask Elle and Lily" Tae replied.

I nodded, "I'm going to have to"

Tae turned around, looking at me in the mirror. I gave him a little smile, as I put my hair up on a bun on top of my head, since it was nearly dry, and it kept it away from my back. I adjusted the towel around my chest, making Tae try and hide the smile forming on his lips.

"It's probably not a good idea, you being in here you know" I muttered.

He rose one eyebrow, "it's communal bathrooms"

I rolled my eyes playfully.

He took a deep breath in, and I saw his eyes drag down my body, this towel was shorter than I would prefer it to be, but I didn't realise I would be having company after the shower.

Tae moved very purposely, taking a step to the side, standing behind me.

I was midway in finding my toothbrush and toothpaste, when I felt a hand brush against the back of my neck. It made me shiver, which made me look up to see Tae smirking at me in the mirror.

I glared at him, but I was smiling.

"Stop bugging me" I teased.

His whole demeanor changed, like a switch. His eyes were narrowing, that intense stare was back, as his lips parted lightly. His tongue was poking out ever so slightly in the corner, making me look at his full lips. He took a slow step forward, and I watched as he leant forward, putting his large hands on the counter, either side of me.

He wasn't touching at all, but he tilted his head to the side, just looking at me.

My heart started beating faster, and his eyes shut, as his lips turned into a small smile, "each time you do that, it makes everything rush around your body and your scent just pours out even more"

"Do what?" I wondered.

"Get nervous. Your heart beat increases" he breathed out, opening his eyes. The black vines were back in his eyes.

"I'm not nervous" I muttered back.

"No? I don't make you nervous?" he said quietly.

I thought about it for a second, "it's the anticipation"

Tae purposely moved forward, as I felt his chest press against my back.

With a smile, I knew exactly what I was doing as I slightly leant forward, arching my ass back to grab my tooth brush. I watched as Tae flexed his jaw, gritting his teeth together.

For the whole two minutes, I was brushing my teeth, I was looking at Tae in the mirror.

"Are you trying to test my will power?" Tae muttered, eyes still intense as he looked back at me.

I bent over to spit into the sink, and ran the tap to wash my mouth, all while trying to hold back my smile as I knew what my ass was leaning back against.

As I slowly leant back up, Tae was leaning his head back, looking at up at the ceiling, with his jaw tightly shut. I almost chuckled, as I put my stuff back in the bag.

I saw in front of me as Tae's hand came around, resting on the soft towel on top of my stomach. It made me still, as I looked at him in the mirror once again. His hand travelled up, moving away so he didn't brush over my breasts, and then it rested on the bottom of my neck, cupping it.

I took a deep breath, and I put my hand on his forearm.

Tae slowly lowered his head into the side of my neck, looking at me until he bent forward, and I felt his nose and mouth press into me on the softest part of my neck.

My legs felt weak.

He let his lips drag along my neck, going down my shoulder, until he looked back up at me. His eyes were nearly all fully black, with the amount of tiny threads covering the whites of his eyes.

This wasn't making me at all scared for myself, in fact it was doing the complete opposite.

And Tae knew this. He pressed his hips forward, going into my ass even more, making me lean against the counter harder.

With a sigh, I leant my head back on his chest as he slowly leant back up. I knew that was exposing my neck even more, but we both knew it wasn't an invitation, nor will it ever be.

His hand ran along my neck, and drifted upwards, cupping the top of it around my jaw. His thumb tipped up, and brushed against my bottom lip, making them part.

With a sigh, I turned around, his hand slipping from my neck and going to the back of my head as I stood in front of him, still very close to one another.

His eyes had calmed down slightly, but I was still picking up on his emotion.

He was the one that was nervous now.

"Why are you nervous?" I asked.

Tae rose an eyebrow, realizing that I could understand what he was feeling.

"I think you know why" he breathed out. 

We just stared at one another, both of our breathing getting heavier.

"Is this still one of your trust games?" I asked, knowing that they never were to do anything to do with trust.

Tae breathed out a smile, looking down at me, "if that's what you want to tell yourself"

I drew in a deep breath, "we can't, Tae"

He was silent for a few seconds, before doing a loud sigh, "I know"
