Ah, fighting. Nathaniel liked fighting. He was, in essence, a sort of violent person. He knew what he wanted, and what he didn't - what he liked and disliked. And he did what he could to make his surroundings comfortable for him... which often ended up with the aforementioned fighting. 

He was what was often described as a bully. Opinionated, loud, and unafraid. With always ready fists and a seemingly never ending barrage through the days of stupid, annoying people to force to leave him alone. It was good.

Nathaniel waited, behind the main school building for today's opponent. In preparation, he tied his longish dark brown hair back in a messy bunch, several shorter locks of hair springing free and falling about his face. He rolled his broad shoulders and stretched his legs a little. Though he wasn't as wide and heavy-set as many other bullies, he often used it to his advantage. He'd been doing martial arts training since the age of six - he was a Dan in Tae Kwon Do. They certainly couldn't do what he could do. Which was why he had his pedestal, and he often found it so easy to kick away those who tried to knock him down. 'Would today be different?', he pondered as his opponent came into sight. Taller than him by a few inches, and certainly a bit wider, he was...well horrible. But Nathaniel was eager. Fun time.

Anna was peacefully eating her lunch. Her brown hair fell over her brown eyes. She was one of those students who sat aloe at lunch. She had a few friends but, they were in 'clicks' and didn't talk to her at school. It was strange though. Every day at school she would sit on the bench on the side of the school, because no one ever went back there. That is until she noticed Nathaniel walk around the corner. Waiting on someone? She flinched and grabbed her bag. She was the type- to wish she could do something. But unable to stop a single fight. She didn't do sports- unless you count extreme painting. Then she was a normal school girl in her mind. Hidding behind the bench. She noticed a small group of people surround Nathaniel and a rather tall person. It was annoying... fighting just because someone liked it. Maybe some one could destract the other, and that would stop them? May so...maybe not. Taking out a usless pencil, she stood up and walked quietly to the fight that was taking place already. Going into the croud unscene, she tossed the pencil her hand. Her aim a bit off...it ended up hitting Nathaniel in the back of the head. She flinched and steped back into the croud.

Nathaniel was about to swing a punch...when a pencil hit him in the head. "Wait a minute, yeah?" he said to the taller boy who, seeminging quite stupid, nodded. He whirled around and picked up the pencil. "Who threw this? Seriously, who the hell throws a pencil?! Honestly!" he yelled, waving the pencil in the air.  Blue eyes shone - with more irritation than anger, really.

Someone in the crowd pushed Anna forward. Causing her to trip and hit the ground. "It was her!" The crowd said stepping away from her as if she caught the pleague.

Anna flinched and looked up at Nathaniel. "It wasn't supossed to hit you.." she said softly.

Nathaniel quirked an eyebrow as he peered down at the girl. 
"What kind of an idiot interferes in a fight? Whether via pencil or whatever. What were you hoping to achieve?!" he exclaimed, flicking the pencil down at her so the blunt eraser end would tap her on the forehead. His brain mulled over the options. People were watching...he didn't like hurting women, he didn't. But he couldn't exactly just let her skip off on her merry way, could he? 

Anna touched her forehead. "I'm sorry." she said slowly standing up. He was taller then her.. "I didn't mean to...and you seem busy." she looked away. "S-So I'll just go." she said turning to push through the crowd.

He shook his head, reached forward and grabbed her arm gently, tugging her so she would be pulled back.
"No. You'll stay. You'll wait over there, please." he said - it was clear that even though 'please' was used, it wasn't a request. Nathaniel pointed to a little bench off to the side, and the circle shifted a little so it was inside it.

Anna closed her eyes for a second, then went back to the bench she was sitting at. Putting her bag beside her, she waited.. "What's he going to do?" she thought to herself.

Nathaniel nodded as she sat, and turned back to his opponent. 
"Alright, let's go." he said with a little smile, and with a swift high-kick to the other boy's chin and a smooth roundhouse, he was down. 
Nathaniel bowed and glanced around the circle, which slowly started to dissipate.
"Ah, I was hoping he'd be more of a challenge..." he said almost apologetically to the friends of the felled boy who dragged him away before he turned to Anna.
"So. What the hell were you thinking?!"

"I-I was trying to destact the fight.." Anna said flinching slightly. "Their are to many people in school who hate fighting.." she said closing her fists. "I-I had to do something."

"Perhaps, but they're not involved in this. I only fight those who like to fight. Everyone here fights of their own free will - no one's forced. Pacifists aren't forced to watch - even you weren't forced to watch. You were forced to stay, but not to watch. It's all about choice, kid." Nathaniel said, shaking his head. Ah, people jumping in before they knew the whole story - horrid.

Anna looked away. "We're just a year apart. Don't call me kid." she said closing her eyes. "What do I need to do?" she asked looking up at him. "To make you stop fighting...?"

Nathaniel scoffed.
"So? You're still younger than I am, and it's better than admitting I haven't a clue what your name is." he shrugged before continuing.
"Why would I stop fighting? It's /fun/. Why do you even care anyway?" he asked, suddenly curious. 

"It's Anna." she said looking at him closing her hands tightly. "Because it's pointless and stupid." she blurted out before looking away. She didn't mean to say that...but it was to late she had sad it.

"It's not pointless, nor is it stupid. It's a natural thing for a person to do. Survival of the fittest? But you seem like the kind of person to give into the 'flight' urge rather than the 'fight' one..." He nodded, as if he had her figured out. 
Taking her hand, as if it had been offered, he raised it to his lips and placed a kiss on it. It would have been charming if not for the teasing smirk "Pleased to meet you, Anna. Now I'll thank you to cease throwing pencils at me, and leave me to fight and do whatever else I may want to do in peace." 

Anna brought her hand back to herself blushing. "I won't stop until you stop fighting." she said stairing up at him. "You...don't scare me." she said quietly.

Nathaniel tilted his head to the side and leaned forward so his face was mere inches from hers.
"Ah, but I should scare you. If you had any sense, you'd be scared out of your wits..." he whispered, running a finger along her jawline before drawing back a little.
"Nevermind. I suppose you'll be throwing pencils at me forever then. I'm not going to stop fighting."

Anna looked away. "I guess I will be." she said looking back up at him. "I'm not afraid at all of you." she said staring at him.

Nathaniel, a little bored now, decided he'd straighten up and just leave. His feet thought differently though - one had fallen asleep while they spoke. So when he tried to step back, his foot went sideways under him, and he was launched forward. 
Onto Anna.
Covering up the accident, he quirked an eyebrow. As if the falling on her had been on purpose.
"Really? Aren't you?"

Anna blushed and glared at him. "Get off of me.." she said closing her eyes. "Pervert." she whispered keeping her eyes closed. "No I'm not afraid of you."

"Not even of what I could do?" he asked, lowering his lips to her ear. "Or is that a separate thing? I'm sure you think I'm a monster...how can you not be afraid of me?" Nathaniel continued in a whisper.
It hurt, a little, to he called a pervert. It really hadn't been on purpose. He would continue to pretend it was though.

Anna tilted her head away. "I'm not afraid of you! So just drop it.." she whispered softly. "Get off of me...before I knee you." she said trying to push him up.

Nathaniel laughed and gracefully rolled off of her. 
"Brave, very brave. Took you a while to make any active move to remove me, though. Makes one wonder if you didn't like me on you..." he teased, letting his hair out and tucking the hairtie in his pocket. 

Anna looked away. "Stop teasing me.." she whispered softly. "I didn't like it." said said fixing her skirt that had rose up slightly. "Pervert.."

"Sure you didn't, dear. You keep telling yourself that." Nathaniel said and he winked. He believed he had found a new hobby. Teasing the quiet girl. Her responses, after all, were priceless!

Anna put her back to him. "I will...don't worry." she said softly.

Silently stepping closer, he bushed her hair out of the way and kissed the back of her neck before jumping back and smoothing down his jeans, and pretending he hadn't done anything. 

Anna jumped slightly and made a noise any guy would go crazy for. "W-What...was that for?" she asked blushing as she touched the back of her neck. "Idiot.."

"I really haven't a clue what you're on about. Unless you're having physical hallucinations about me. If so...I'm flattered. I don't think you're my type though..." Nathaniel shrugged and laughed softly. AH, fun. 

"Don't play dumb." she said glaring at him. "Oh, nevermind..." she said grabbing her bag.

"Don't play dumb? ...Strange thing to say to somebody you just called an idiot, isn't it?" he asked nonchalantly, stepping closer to her and peering down at her face.

Anna took a step back, until she felt a wall behind her. "You're right. It's just natural for you. isn't it?"

"Oh, that's so very cruel. You don't really mean that, do you?" he asked as he semi-pinned her to the wall with one arm, and lowered his lips to her ear. 
"Don't say things like that unless you really mean them..." he whispered, blowing into her ear gently. He felt like a bit of a pervert, yes...but he wouldn't hurt her. And it was fun. 

Anna gasped quietly. Blushing darkly, she lifted up her hands to cover her chest. "I do mean that.."

Nathaniel chuckled softly. "But you barely know me. To make such a large judgement...it's a little arrogant, no?" His free hand caressed her side gently. 
'Ah,' thought he. 'She's sort of cute when she blushes. Sort of.'

"A-Arrogant?" Anna whispered looking up at him. "No, it's not.." she said leaning against the wall blushing an even darker red.

Nathaniel nodded.
"How do you figure, Anna dear?" he asked, as if they were just seated, talking casually. And not pinned awkwardly against a wall. He peered down at her bright eyes shining enchantingly.

"You were clearly acting like one..s-so." she looked away from his eyes. "It's not arrogant.."

His hand moved from her side to her face, gently turning her to face him.
"Oh, but it is. Judging someone so harshly after a...ten minute aquaintance? Definitely arrogant. But then there are those who find arrogance rather...intriguing..."

"You're the one who pinned me to the ground." Anna said staring up at him. "You asked for it."

"Ah, but you were being so...self-righteous. Who are you to tell me to stop fighting? You weren't being easily silenced. I needed to do /something/ to stop you harping on at me." Nathaniel laughed softly.

"But seriously. Fighting is pointless." Anna said not looking away. "It's seriously stupid to keep fighting..."

"But the adrenaline rush is unbelievable. You get out there, and there's the rush, and no matter how badly you're hurt, it doesn't. Not that I'm hurt all that much. But even so it's ecstacy, you're floating, flying. It's amazing. Why would I want to give up a feeling so exhilerating?" he asked, eyes sparkling with reminiscence. 

"Because. it's..pointless." she said glaring at him. "I won't leave you alone. And that's that."

He laughed softly. 
"What if, however, I start bothering you? I could make you /beg/ me to leave you alone. And then I could fight in peace..."

"Like that will ever happen." Anna whispered feeling cooped up in the corner. "I won't let you fight anymore."

"...I still don't understand why you're focussing on me. There must be at least fifty other boys in the school you could discourage from fighting. Why me, Anna dear?" Nathaniel couldn't get nearer of course...but he could still bother her, keeping her in the corner and touching her hair or face or side from time to time. 

"Because you're the one who fights the most out of all of them." Anna said looking up at him. "That's why, Nathaniel." she said leaning back into the corner even more.

Nathaniel poked her nose with his index finger and quite suddenly stepped away from her. 
"You can try to stop me from fighting, but you'll fail. You'll give up eventually. Have fun, hon. Do your worst." he said with a wink as he slung his bag over his shoulder. 

After school, Anna had followed Nathaniel secertly. He was up to something...she just couldn't figure out what. She quietly stood and watched him talk to a boy.

The boy was a boy in his Tae Kwon Do class. They were sparring partners within the class, and they occasionally fought normally outside of class. For fun.
They set up another fight for the following day and went their own separate ways. No fighting that afternoon - it was his only afternoon with no class or work in the entire week...he wanted to be alone. And it was to that end that Nathaniel set off towards the park. Not knowing at all that he was being followed.

Anna blinked and followed behind him quietly. Her foots steps were quiet.

Quiet...but not silent. In the near complete silence of the park, he could hear her, though he made no movement that would give it away. 
He moved to a large tree, and without looking back, he sat neatly.
"I can hear you, you know. Yeah, not great at spying..." he said loudly, still not looking back. 

Anna came from behind the tree. "Shut up.." she whispered softly. "What are you doing?" she asked staring down at him.

He peered around. 
"I do believe I'm sitting under a tree. And yourself?" he asked casually, as if he didn't already know the answer. He took a cigarette from a pack in his pocket and slipped it into his mouth.

"!" Anna almost tackled him, but grabbed the cigarette out of his mouth. "Don't smoke, it'll kill you." she said softly flicking it away. "Making sure you stay out of trouble." she said softly crossing her arms.

"Eh, I'm going to die eventually anyway. I'd rather die young - leave a beautiful corpse, you know?" Nathaniel laughed softly, popping a new cigarette in his mouth and lighting it quickly.
"Who hired you to be my babysitter?"

"If you keep smoking you won't be so beautiful." she said crossing her arms. "I told you I wouldn't leave you alone. Didn't I?" she said taking out the cigare from his mouth, and tossing it. "Seriously don't smoke those." she said bending down to him. "Where do you keep them?" she asked getting to close for confort and feeling around his pockets. "Which pocket?"

"Ah, you think I'm beautiful, huh? Interesting. And...heh, you can feel around there all you like...ah, left pocket sweetheart. They're in my left pocket. ...You can reimburse me for them if you're taking them from me though." He smiled charmingly.

"Stop twisting what I said." she said blushing darkly. "Pay you back for taking something that's hurting you?" she asked lifting them up. "No thanks, I'm good." she said throwing them into a trash-bin near by.

"I twisted nothing, hon. At all. All the same though, I spent my hard-earned money on those. You owe me." he nodded and lay back, sighing softly. Comfortable. 
"Besides, they're calming. Have you ever smoked a cigarette? They're good. It'd do you good to unwind a little...you're too tense. But then, you would be tense, worrying about me like you clearly do. Still don't get why you care."

"Because." Anna said simply sitting next to him, taking out her sketchbook. "I know you're really not some heartless fighter." she chuckled at the cigarette. "Thanks to my health, I can't even be around the smoke. I pass out if I breath in any." she said softly and quietly. "I'm following you...to make sure you stop fighting."

Nathaniel quirked an eyebrow.
"Wait a moment there...heartless? Who said I was heartless? I'd be dead if I didn't have a heart...so really, I can't be heartless, can I?" Rather silly, in his mind. And even so, he didn't act heartless either. He kicked ass with the best of them, but...well in his real life, he was compassionate. When he had to be.

"Ah, shame dear. And even so...I don't see why you care about me fighting. Unless you secretly adore me and fear that I'm going to hurt myself." he said offhandedly. Teasing.

"Maybe I am afraid you are going to get hurt." she said sketching. "Or maybe, I want you to really stop fighting." she looked up at him. "If you didn't do it as much, I wouldn't be on your back.."

"But I /like/ fighting. You would too if you felt the adrenaline, you would. You need to release that tension. How about...tomorrow afternoon, come by the Tae Kwon Do centre, okay? It's safe, and free for your first week. You can't tell me to stop if you don't know the goods and bads of it, can you?" he smiled sweetly. She'd probably look cute in the uniform too. Heh. 

Anna looked over at him. "The tension goes away quickly for me." she said smiling. "Thank you anyways." she said closing her sketchbook. "I could try it out. But, I won't like it." she said softly.

Nathaniel nodded. "Well if you don't like it at all, you can keep bothering me, telling me to stop. But if you like it at all, you have to quit trying to make me stop." he smiled and peered at her sketchbook.
"Whatcha drawing?"

"Deal." Anna said softly, looking back at him. "Abstract." she said lifting it up. "People usually don't bother me about this." she said softly. 

Nathaniel sat up some, and peered at it.
"Hmm. I like it. I'm not going to pretend like I understand it, but I like it." he nodded and slipped a piece of candy from a small bag in one of his pockets and slipped it in his mouth, before offering the bag to Anna.
"Would you like a sweet, my dear stalker?"

Anna looked up at him. "Sure." she said sighing. "I'm not your stalker." she said putting the piece of candy in her mouth.

"Yes you are. You stalked me. Therefore...stalker. It makes complete sense." Nathaniel nodded and poked her in the side.
"Not that I mind of course. Prettiest stalker I've ever had."

"Sto-Stop teasing me." Anna said looking away blushing. "I'm not stalking you." she said closing her eyes. "That's the last time I'll say it."

"Because you're sick of lying. I think so. Cute little stalker, but a stalker all the same. I wonder what would happen if someone being stalked decided to stalk his stalker..." Nathaniel pondered as he moved a little and lay his head on her lap. 

Anna blushed and pushed his head off. "I'm not.." she said sighing. "I need to go somewhere." she said standing up slowly. "I'm meeting someone."

"Ah, really? Abandoning me at a time like this? I could run off and kick someone and you'd be none the wiser. So much for not leaving me alone..." Nathaniel shook his head as if disappointed in her conduct. 

"I made plans." she said crossing her arms. "Before I started to watch you."

"Well fine...leave. Have fun, dear. If he sticks his hand down your top, remember to bite him." Nathaniel said nonchalantly, popping another sweet into his mouth. 
He decided then to stalk her in return. 

Anna waved bye to him, and ran off. Meeting a boy from her class, they started for dinner. Before they entered the dinner place, he pulled her to the side to talk to her quietly. He put a hand to her chin. She tilted her head away shaking it no, she didn't want to. But he tilted her head back towards him, and lowered a hand to her chest. Clearly force.

And, of course, Nathaniel was there. He'd been watching silently for a while, but the boy's conduct made him quite angry, really. 
And so, he walked out, right up to them. 
"Hey you wouldn't know where the bathroom is, would you?" he asked loudly, directly at the boy who was forcefully groping her. In the better light, he wanted to hit the boy. Hard. 

"Nathaniel.." Anna whispered, breathing un-evenly. It was clear she wasn't used to being touched like that.
"Damn it.." The boy whispered leting go of Anna, and running off. 
"...." she touched her chest, breathing unevenly. "Why did he.."

"Because he's an asshole. You alright?" Nathaniel asked gently. He wanted to chase after the boy and bash him. Badly. But he didn't - Anna's wellbeing was more important at that point.
"...Sorry, I was stalking you a little in return. Did he hurt you? I couldn't see exactly what he was doing..."

"He groped my...chest.." she whispered staring up at him. "He's made me breath unevenly.." she said blushing.

Nathaniel couldn't help but laugh softly. The blush...well it was just too cute. 
"Ah, I'm sorry - it's not funny. Come on...he was going to take you to dinner right? Well no point in not eatin just because he's been ungentlemanly. Shall we?" he offered his arm and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"And yes...that's usually what does happen when a woman's surprised or..." he trailed off, deciding not to finish that sentance, considering the forced gropery.

Anna stared up at him. "Or what?" she asked softly. "What else is there?" she asked looknig away. "Can you just take me home please?" she asked softly.

"Or...well...aroused I suppose..." he coughed softly, feeling a little embarrassed frankly. That surely couldn't have been the case, after all. 
"Yes, I'll take you home. Think of me as your weird little bodyguard..."

Anna looked away. "I don't g-get like that though." she said softly as she began to walk. They arrived at her house quickly. "That can't be why..."

Nathaniel quirked an eyebrow. "You're joking, right? You must get like that from time to time...after seeing a handsome musician or movie star or something...I'm sure I could make you breathless..." he teased. Not the most appropriate time, of course...but if it could take her mind off the creep, he'd do it. 

"Test me." Anna said crossing her arms. "I doubt you can arouse me.." she said in a challenging tone.

Nathaniel sighed and swiftly spun, pinning her against a brick wall, one of his legs nestled between the two of hers. He moved her arms, holding them above her head by her wrists.
 "I'm surprised you would say something like that, considering. Or do you trust me?  You really shouldn't trust me..." he whispered in her ear, blowing in before nipping her earlobe. 

Anna gasped and closed one eye. "I do trust you.." she said blushing. He was pinning her, against the wall. She stared at him. "I do..."

"Ah, I don't see how. There's so much I could so...would do. You're so weak, you couldn't stop me. Unless, of course, you secretly want me to do those things..."  he growled, his hands releasing hers and creeping down her sides. One paused on her hip, the other on the side of her breast. Not groping, no...he wouldn't do a thing against her wishes. But then she had given him permission, as such. 

"You won't do anything to me." she said staring at him. "You wouldn't.." she was blushing.

"I would. You're so lovely when you blush..." he whispered, lowering his lips to her neck and kissing the soft skin, nipping gently as he drew back.
"You shouldn't tempt me...you don't know how much I can stand before I break..."

Anna closed one eye and began to breath softly. "But you wouldn't..." she said touching her neck, blushing. "I won't get aroused because of you.."

"I think you already are, a little. If I wanted to, I could make you pant, moan, arch, quiver at my touch. I think that thought makes you wonder...ask yourself if it could be true..." Nathaniel whispered, his voice quite low and seductive. His hand on the side of her breast moved slowly to gently cup it. 
"It's all up to you though. Will you let yourself?"

Anna stared up at him and let out a small gasp as he cuped her breast. "I said I wouldn't, when I have my mind set on something...I won't do it." she said looking away, ignoring the fact her heart was beating so fast.

Nathaniel chuckled softly, rubbing with his thumb gently where he assumed her nipple would be. 
"Ah, but sometimes our bodies betray us. Animal reactions which we have little if any control over...and it's so very much fun that way, is it not?"

Anna's breath began to get heavy. "Stop it...Nathaniel." she whispered staring at him with one eye closed.

Nathaniel slowly released her, but stayed against her for a moment longer.
"I do believe I won." he said conversationally as he finally stepped away and held out his hand for her to take. A small half-smile formed on his lips, and his eyes sparkled so. Ah, fun. 

Anna stared up at him, and she took his hand. What was she doing? She had no idea..

"You said you never got aroused. That heavy breathing...ah, I won. Don't feel bad, it's a natural reaction to what I did. It proves you're human." Nathaniel caressed her cheek and laughed softly. 
"Come on, we're taking you home."

"Just because my breathing picked up, doesn't mean I was aroused." she said stopping mid step. "I didn't...get aroused over you touching me." she said turning her head away. "I dared you to arouse me, you didn't do a good job at it."

He laughed. "Oh stop it. I did a fine job, and you know it. I could have done so many things...SO many things. I didn't want to invade your private space too much, you see. Which was why I kept it...clean. But you did like it. You could have pushed me away at any time...I wasn't really pinning you, not really. You want to try and prove me wrong again, ask any time..." he turned her head back gently. "I think you like me. You do. And it's not a bad thing." he said almost seriously. 

"Prove me wrong." Anna said glaring up at him. "And do a good job at it.." she whispered looking away as he said she liked him. 

Nathaniel quirked an eyebrow.
"...You yourself are confused, aren't you? You want me to arouse you, but you don't want to admit to yourself that you like me. It's...well it's strange. Because it makes my job harder too. Blurs the boundaries, you see?" 

"You're just afraid too, aren't you." Anna said walking passed him. "Never mind then, I won't ask someone who's afraid to." she said softly looking back at him.

He grabbed her and pulled her back.
"I'm not afraid. If I'm to do this right, I refuse to do it in the middle of the street - don't want to get arrested for indecent exposure..." he trailed off and smiled teasingly.
"My house. Are you going to come along...or are you scared?"  

"Lead the way.." Anna said glaring at him, pulling her arm out of his grasp.

Nathaniel nodded and winked, walking on in much the same direction that they were already going. 
"So then, to pass the time...what do you like? Hobbies and such. And what do you dislike?" he asked casually as he walked backwards. 

"I like to draw and write books." Anna said looking up at him. "I dislike fighting." she said sounding like some hippie. "It's the only thing I dislike." she said looking up at him. "What about you?"

"I like learning and teaching and executing different fighting styles. I like reading. I don't like...jelly. I don't trust how it moves..." Nathaniel said lightly, as if not trusting jelly was incredibly normal.  

Anna let out a small laugh. "Jelly?" she asked tilting her head slightly. "Unexpected from you." she said sighing. "But that explains so much to me at the same time.." she let out a sigh, as he stoped. "This is where you live?"

"Yep. After you, My dear." Nathaniel said, opening the door for her and inclining his head. A small smile played on his lips, and he followed her in, wrapping an arm around her. 
"So then, what do you think? It's nothing special, I know...but it's comfortable."

Anna held back a blush and looked back at him. "It's better then the streets.." she said looking away. "I still think you're afraid too.."

Nathaniel escorted her to his room, which was surprisingly devoid of anything to do with fighting. Just a clean white room, with a red four-poster bed, a built in closet and a desk with a computer. 
"Why would I be afraid? What is there to be afraid of?" he asked, curious. 

"How should I know?" she asked looking away from him. Crossing her arms.

"You're the one who seems to be afraid. Very afraid. You have to relax though, dear. I won't do a thing that you don't want me to..." he said turning her face to look at him and wrapping an arm around her pulling her closer. 

Anna looked at him and closed her eyes. "I'm not afraid." she said pulling out of his grasp. "You're the one who wasn't going to do anything."

"You're the one who keeps pulling away." Nathaniel said simply, sitting down on his bed and watching her with bright eyes. He patted the soft bed next to him. 
"If you're not afraid, join me." 

Anna looked over at the bed, then sat down next to him. "See.."

Nathaniel nodded. "You've done well, thus far." he admitted, and he moved to the centre of the bed. 
He peered at her, glancing over her form. Trying to plan. But she was difficult to read...

Anna looked over her shoulder at him. "Why are you staring at me like that?" she asked softly.

"You're really quite lovely. I do so apologise if I've made you uncomfortable. But then this isn't exactly a normal situation, is it?" Nathaniel laughed softly. 

"You're right." Anna said looking away. "You can't arouse me."

Nathaniel raked hand through his hair. 
"You're so negative..." he sighed and with a rather quick tug, he pulled her over to him. "I can and will."

Anna stared up at him. "I dare you.."

Nathaniel smirked a little and half-lay on top of her. 
"You dare me, huh? Well you should be warned that I take dares very seriously..."

Anna swallowed slightly. "Good then.." She said staring at him.

Nathaniel lowered his lips to Anna's, kissing gently at first, but soon escalating it to a rather passionate level. His hands caressed her sides a little to establish a jumping off point.  
Anna blushed and then kissed him back. Trying not to get excited from this, she pulled away for a mear second to breath.

When Anna pulled away to breathe, Nathaniel slipped down to kiss her jawline, and then down her neck to her collarbone. One hand which had been caressing her side above the shirt slipped under the shirt to just hold her side. His hand was cold, and he smiled against her skin at the warmth of her side

Anna shivered slightly as she felt his cold hand. "You're cold.." she whispered out quietly. "I'm...not aroused.."

"So? I like it. You're so warm..." Nathaniel whispered in return, slipping the other hand under, holding both on her waist. He licked just under her collarbone and moved back a little, looking over her. Once his hands had more or less been raised to Anna's body temperature, they started to slowly creep up. Stopping just short of her chest, they swept to the middle and back to the sides. Soft skin.

Anna stared down at him. She blushed and closed her eyes. Trembling slightly. "You like when I'm like this?" she asked softly. 

"I like you. When you blush, when you're so amazingly self-righteous...you're different. It's not every day that a girl dares a boy to attempt to arouse her. You're bold and strong and obstinate. I like that." he replied, his voice gentle. 

Anna's face darkened. "You like me?" she asked looking away. "First time...someone's said that to my face." she said touching his arms slightly. "What are you planning on doing to me?"

"I'm not sure, actually. I tried to read you before and failed. ...I don't know quite what would work on you. I have a feeling you like the feeling of danger, but beyond that, I'm lost. First time, I can assure you. You're difficult to decode...I don't understand it." Nathaniel admitted. 
"It does seem that your chest is quite...sensitive though..." he said musingly. 

Anna stared at him. "...It's extremely sensitive." she admited looking away. "I'm not that hard to read, am I?"

Nathaniel smiled ever so slightly. 
"If you weren't difficult to read, you would be shivering at my every touch by now...and not just because I have cold hands..." he laughed softly and shook his head. 
Well at least he'd read a little bit correctly. His hands still rested beside her chest.
"May I...?" he asked. Well at least he was polite.

"...Why are you asking me?" Anna asked looking up at him. "You're the one who's trying to arouse me." she said softly.

"Yes, but not by force. Never by force." Nathaniel said firmly. He wasn't that kind of boy. Sure, he was violent when he fought, but never with intimacy. Never when it was serious.
"Can I take that as indirect permission?"

"Y-Yes.." Anna said blushing. "You have permission." she said looking away.

Nathaniel tilted his head to the side.
"Why do you keep looking away?" he asked, not doing a thing yet. It bothered him a little. 

Anna looked back at him. "I-I don't know. I'm sorry." she said staring down at him.

He withdrew his hands from her shirt and caressed her cheek. 
"Don't apologise. It's just a little strange. You...you really are scared, aren't you?" he whispered, his voice filled with realisation. 

Anna stared at him a bit shocked. Before closing her eyes. "No, I'm not." she said quietly. "This just doesn't always happen to me...my crush doing this." she pulled away slowly from him after realizing what she said. "I-I mean.."

Nathaniel raked a hand through his hair, and eased himself to lay beside her, on his side. 
"And so the truth emerges." he said, his voice holding not even the slightest amount of sarcasm or mockery. Honestly...he was a little happy. No, more than a little. For he understood.  

Anna stared back at him. "I'm sorry." she said quietly. "I should go." she said as she began to stand up. Embarassed was what she was even more, the fact she freely said it.

He shook his head and grabbed her hand, pulling her back.
"I wish you wouldn't." Nathaniel said softly, large eyes shining. "I meant what I said...about liking you."  

Anna looked back at him. "You promise?" she said softly turning back around and laying down.

Nathaniel nodded.
"I promise. Why would I lie about a thing like that? It takes guts to throw a pencil at someone bigger and taller than you and tell them to stop fighting. To openly stalk them...I like it. I like you." he caressed her cheek again and replaced it with his lips. 

Anna blushed and closed her eyes. "It wasn't stalking actully...I was just making sure you stayed out of trouble." she said looking up at him.

"Oh you were stalking. I said it before and I'll say it again...you're the cutest stalker I've ever had." he laughed softly and poked the end of her nose. Very cute.  

Anna blushed a deeper shade of red. "Meh." was all she said as she tilted her head down, to hide her blush.

Nathaniel tilted her head up and shook his head. "Don't you meh me, missy. And I love it when you blush, so no hidey..." he smiled.   "Okay?"

"Okay.." Anna said softly. "What are you going to do to me now?" she asked gently.

Nathaniel bit his own bottom lip gently.
"Haven't a clue. Hmm...here's a new tack. What do you want me to do?"

"W-What ever you're thinking." Anna said shyly.

"We did this the wrong way around, didn't we? I ravaged you before we even knew we liked each other. I'm thinking that...I was going about it all wrong. And I'm sorry. I was scared. Scared that I wouldn't be able to...that I wouldn't be enough. Is that silly?" he asked softly. 

Anna shook her head. "No..." she said looking away timidly touching his hand, lifting it up and placing it on her right breast. "H-here.." she said softly.

Nathaniel squeezed it ever so slightly, moving to caress the side and cup it from the bottom. He watched her face as he caressed. He wanted to know how to please Anna. He did. 

Anna's eyes closed as her breathing picked up slowly. She let out a moan, and blushed almost instently. "Nathaniel..."

Nathaniel couldn't help but laugh softly. Anna was really ever so adorable.
"Anna...?" he said in response. The moan...well it made him rather happy. Because he could only assume that he had caused it.

Anna's breathing was heavy now. "I-I was wrong...you can...arouse me." she said blushing.

"Only because you let me..." Nathaniel whispered, dipping his head and nipping gently at her nipple through her clothing. 

Anna let out another moan, sounding more suprised. "...Na-Nathaniel.." she whispered breathlessly as he gently bit her.

Nathaniel peered up at her, tilting his head to the side a little. He assumed it was good from the moan...but then moans can be deceiving.
"Mmm?"

"T-That feels good.." she whispered breathing quietly. 

"I would hope so..." he whispered back. His hand remained on her breast, but his lips moved up, to gently connect with hers. 

Anna kissed him back, and timidly lowered her hand to his private place. She closed her eyes as she gently closed her hand around it.

Nathaniel, a little surprised, gasped into the kiss. He glanced down and tilted his head to the side. Well it was certainly unexpected...

Anna blushed and glanced up at him. She felt embarassed, but kept her hand down there.

"Anna...you don't have to..." he trailed off. There was no doubt that she could arouse him, but that wasn't part of the arrangement, was it? Not that he didn't like it, that wasn't it at all.

Anna flinched slightly, and pulled her handd away. "I'm sorry." she said softly leaning against him.

Nathaniel released her breast and wrapped his arms around her.
"No apologies. I was just a little surprised. This is supposed to be all about you, okay?" he whispered, kissing her cheek.  

Anna closed one eye and looked up at him. "Nathaniel..." she whispered softly, before she felt her phone go off. "..Crap." she whispered softly sitting up. "It's home, I should of been home...an hour ago." she said looking over her shoulder at him.

Nathaniel laughed and raked a hand through his hair. 
"Ah, I'm sorry. I corrupted you and made you late. I have a feeling they won't want to meet me after that..." he laughed again and buried his face in a pillow. 

"The exact opposite of that.." Anna said gently getting off the bed, before looking down at her shirt. "I can't go home yet.." she said blushing. "You made my shirt wet..remember?" 

"Oh dear. I even messed up your shirt. I'm a bad boy...ah, we can air dry it!" Nathaniel nodded and followed, blowing lightly on the little wet spot. He shook his head. 
"I have a hair dryer...think that'll work?"

"Y-Yeah." Anna said figiting slightly. "Look away please.." she said softly grabbing a sheet and covering herself as she took off the shirt. Keeping herself covered.

Nathaniel nodded and looked away. Buried his face in a pillow so couldn't peek. And honestly...he did want to peek...
He wanted to peek a lot. But he didn't.

Anna sighed. "I'm don,e Nathaniel." she said softly going back over to him. "It's safe to look...I sat it out."

Nathaniel nodded and removed his face from the pillow.
"I really am sorry...took advantage of you a little..." he smiled apologetically and sighed softly

Anna sat down on the bed. "It's okay." she said looking over at him. "Who knew you would apologize." she said smartelicly.

He gasped softly in faux-surprise.
"Hey...that's not nice, miss 'dares boys to arouse her because she's stragely shy'..."

Anna blinked slightly. "That was a dare." she said blushing.

"Yes. And I don't turn down dares...I trust you enjoyed the outcome at least a leetle bit..." Nathaniel smiled a more suitable smirk and turned on his puppydog eyes.

Anna looked away crossing her arms. "I was wondering if you were done or not?" she asked glancing back at him. "Because, I dare you to do that to me again. With out asking me anything."

Nathaniel smirked again.
"Ah, but don't you have to get home? Your parents are worried. Perhaps tomorrow,  miss"

"My shirt is drying." Anna said tilting her head to the side.

"Yes but it won't take long. And I would so hate to return you to your parents all...hot and bothered..." He stopped himself from laughing. Though he did find it very humourous.

Anna let out a small sigh. "Alright.." she said lowering an arm to her chest. Maybe tease him would be fun. She quickly lowered the sheet, and covered her chest with one arm. "Are they showing, Nathaniel?" she asked curiously.

Nathaniel peered up and coughed softly.
"Uhm...not really..." he said quietly, glancing away. He was used to teasing, not being teased. It surprised him a little...

Anna leaned in closer. "Oh really?" she asked bairly hidding them now. "Are you sure..?" she asked softly.

Nathaniel took a deep breath. "Okay, they're obviously mostly showing /now/..." he said sarcastically and he rolled his eyes as if he wasn't being affected by it at all.

Anna tilted her head. "Come here." she said blushing. She was enjoying herself. "I'll show you more."

"Ah...I think your shirt may be dry by now..." Nathaniel glanced away. He wasn't used to not being in control. It was a little awkward...

Anna sighed. "Fine." she whispered softly getting off the bed and grabbing her shirt. "See you tomorrow at school." she said softly. 

Nathaniel got to his feet and quickly gave her a hug.
"Adieu, dear Anna. I apologise...I was a little surprised. But I'll make it up to you tomorrow, alright?

Anna looked up at him. "Alright, but you better do one heck of a job tomorrow.." she said blushing.

"I can only try, my dear. Now hurry home..." Nathaniel whispered and nipped her earlobe gently before he released her.

Anna blushed and touched her ear, and smiled. "See you." she whispered running out of the house.

Nathaniel watched her go, peering out of his window.
He smiled...too cute.

The following morning, Anna walked into school to find Nathaniel confronting the guy who bothered her yesterday. "Nathaniel?" she whispered coming from behind him.

Nathaniel smiled when he heard her voice. "Hi there, Anna. I'll be with you in a moment...I'm just having a conversation with this gentleman." He peered over his shoulder and smiled sweetly. He turned back to the boy and whispered something in his ear. What he said must have been incredibly frightening, because the boy fled.
"Ah, fun."

"What did you say to him?" Anna asked looking up at him confused like.

"Not much...just that if he ever did that to any lady ever again I would find out, hunt him down and castrate him..." Nathaniel wrapped an arm around her. "But I didn;t touch a hair on his head.."

"Good boy." Anna said looking up at him. "You get one cookie." she said closing her eyes.

Nathaniel pouted.
"Aii, only one cookie? I like cookies..." he said with a little sigh and he licked her lips just as her eyes closed.

Anna opened her eyes blinking. "A cookie equals anything you want to do to me.." she said blushing.

"Ah, is that so?" he asked, a small smile on his lips. He liked that idea...

Anna slowly pulled from him. "I need to get to class, alright?" she said smiling up at him. "See you later." she said running away towards class.

Nathaniel watched her run away, only then realising he too had a class.
"Adieu!" he called after her, and ran in the opposite direction. Ugh...maths.

After class, Anna left the class room quickly. Never would she think she was eating lunch with Nathaniel. But before she could get outside, someone grabbed her arm. She looked over her shoulder to see a rather tough looking guy. "Can you please, let go?" she asked trying to get her arm out of his grasp.

Nathaniel had decided to surprise Anna by meeting her at her classroom. He had set off early, but someone had started to talk to him, and had babbled about /something/. By the time he had been able to escape, it was a little late. Doubtful that Anna would still be there, he called out softly.
"Anna?"

"You go out with Nathaniel, correct?" The boy asked in a mono toned voice.

"I don't...really know." she whispered to herself. "What do you want?"

"Come with me and you'll see." He said with a lustful smile. "This could break him, and let my school win." he said pulling her by the arm forcefully. "Lets go."

"I said let go!" Anna screamed out loud, trying to get from his grasp.

Hearing a distant scream, Nathaniel hastened towards it. He truly ran, hair bouncing in the movement. He was panicked - because he was sure it had been Anna's voice he'd heard. Someone was hurting her, and that enraged him.
He turned the corner of the corridor that her classroom was on, and paused to catch his breath. He'd kick the behind of whomsoever laid a finger on Anna.

The boy named Sai looked up from Anna. "Speaking of the devil..he's here." he said smiling and tilting his head. "Hello, Nathaniel."

Anna looked over her shoulder at him. "Nathaniel.." she whispered softly, as she was spun around by Sai. He was going to have fun pushing Nathaniels buttons.

"Let everyone know that my school won that fight a week ago." Sai said lifting up his hands, and touching Anna on the stomach. "If you don't this...lovely little girl will become my new bunny." he said touching Anna ever so slightly on the chest. "Deal?"

Nathaniel's fists balled at his sides. Not only was the bastard feeling up Anna, but he was ordering him to lie about the outcome of a fight.
"Ah, but you didn't...your school failed dismally..." Nathaniel muttered, walking over slowly. He wanted to hurt Sai so badly that he wouldn't be able to be recognised as human any more.
"Let her the fuck go before I kick your ass again..." 

Anna closed her eyes and blushed darkly. "I said let me go.." she whispered elbowing him in the stomach, then punching him in the face. She held her fist, and back away from him to stand in front of Nathaniel. "That hurt." she whispered holding her fist and staring down at the knocked out Sai.

Nathaniel gasped and stared.
"You...you knocked him out. He's down, you...oh my little pacifist knocked a guy nearly twice her size out. I'm so proud of you...now let's go quickly, yes?" he wrapped his arms around her and placed a kiss on her cheek before raising her fist to his lips and kissing the knuckles gently too.
He really was quite proud of her.

Anna blushed and looked away. "Y-Yeah. Come on." she said softly and began running off with Nathaniel. As soon as they got outside any away from everyone, she touched her chest. "...Why does every guy lately touch me here?" she whispered out blushing.

"...Guys are drawn to breasts. And those are pretty spectacular, you have to admit..." Nathaniel joked, trying to lighten the mood a little. He poked the tip of her nose and shrugged. 
"...If you were really desperate, you could bind them down. If there's nothing to fondle, people usually won't try..."

Anna looked up at him. "Yeah." she said softly and leaned against the wall. "You gain another cookie...you want to use one of them?"

Nathaniel tilted his head to the side.
"...Well do I get a real cookie too?" he asked hopefully, leaning against her ever so slightly. His hand caressed her cheek and he smiled despite himself. Ah, she was just so /cute/...

"If I have any." Anna said blushing and leaning against the wall. "Or you could pretend I'm a cookie.." she whispered softly.

Nathaniel smiled at the blush - damn near delectable. "So you want me to eat you all up?" he whispered into her ear, his voice a purposely seductive growl.

"Yes." Anna whispered softly to him. Shivering slightly. "Sorry, had a chill." she said smiling slightly.

Nathaniel laughed softly and shook his head.
"You're a riddle. Excited by danger...and all at once you seem to be afraid of everything and nothing..." he whispered and licked a long line from her ear to the corner of her mouth...Nn. Tasty.

Anna kissed him softly on the lips. "Maybe...I get aroused from seeing you overprotective of me." she whispered softly. "After all..." she slowly pulled out of the kiss. "You might love fighting...and I don't but, I like seeing you defend me." she said closing her eyes. 

"Ah, but I didn't get a chance to defend you - you punched the bugger out. And you have no idea how /hot/ that is to a guy like me..." Nathaniel wrapped his arms around her securely.
"I don't think I really need to defend you, but...well I promise to as much as I can..."

Anna looked away resting her head against his chest. "When someone corners me, or holds me back. I snap sometimes, and punch." she said softly looking up at him. "That was hot?" she asked blushing a dark red. 

"Incredibly so. A woman able to give some back, and not just be a meek little thing...mmm..." Nathaniel nodded and placed a kiss on her forehead. He shivered a little - and not from the cold.
"I almost want you to hit me...but I'm a little afraid of how much it could hurt..." he smiled teasingly.

Anna blinked. "If you ever do anything stupid enough for me to hit you, I will." she said softly and leaning against the wall. "Two choices: Save it, or use a cookie right now."

Nathaniel groaned softly and pressed himself against her gently. "You rush a man, don't you? Even so...you do look simply delicious at the moment...cookietime, I suppose..."
He wondered what would happen if Anna decided cookietime was in order and he had no cookies saved up...it made him laugh inside.

Anna closesd one eye. "W-well, I'm just saying." she said softly looking up at him. "Do I really?" she asked quietly. "You can eat me."

Nathaniel took a deep, calming breath and lowered his lips to her ear again.
"I'll bite and kiss and lick every inch of you...but not here, anyone could see. I want to preserve your modesty, missy."

Anna trembled slightly. "Want to...go to your place?" she asked quietly. "Say we got sick?"

"I don't mind that idea at all...you're more mischievous than I give you credit for..." Nathaniel picked her up a little, pulled her tight against his body and spun around with her in his arms until he was the one closer to the wall, and the the one in front. He offered his arm to her. 
"Shall we?"

Anna nodded and walked towards his house. Holding his hand, ignoring the stares from the students. After telling the teacher they were sick to there stomach, and getting their stuff. They arrived at his house. She looked up at him as they entered his home, and tilted her head to the side. "What...are you going to do to me?"

Nathaniel drove her to a wall - how they seemed to gravitate to them - and pinned her firmly. 
"Well...it's not completely formed you see, but thus far I start right around here..." he whispered into her ear again and nipped the earlobe gently. "And then I kiss and lick down your neck to your collarbone. From there, I keep going down as far as I can before your clothes inhibit me. Then your shirt leaves, and your chest gets the attention it deserves...that's all I've got thus far, what do you think?" he finished, brushing his hand carelessly across the fabric covering her chest.
Damn fabric.

Anna blushed and nodded her head slightly. "T-That sounds...about r-right." she said studdering slightly. She wasn't scared, just excited.

Nathaniel smiled and slipped his hands to hold her waist.
"So then...do you wish to do this standing, or lying?" he asked curiously, slipping a hand under her shirt to caress her hip.

Anna gasped quietly. "Lying." she whispered quietly as she closed her eyes.

He chuckled and removed his hand, instead slipping it into hers.
"Well come on then...you remember where my room is, right? Or were you too blinded by desire?" he cooed teasingly as he led her.

"I-I remember." Anna said blushing softly as they entered his room.

"Of course you do...clever little minx..." Nathaniel said as he shut the door behind them and gently pushed her down upon the bed.

Anna stared up at him blushing. "I remember things...remember that." she said quietly staring up at him.

Nathaniel nodded and brushed his lips against hers.
"Why does it not surprise me that you remember things? You're already too perfect, you had to have a fault -- I'm kidding, don't kill me for that..."

"I'm far from perfect." she whispered kissing him back. "I won't kill you, just punish you.." she said quietly. "If that's okay with you.."

"Punish away, dear...I do deserve it after all. Just a note though...don't as if you can punish someone, it breaks the meaning of punishment..." he laughed softly. Funny.

Anna tilted her head slightly, and blushed. "Okay. Okay." she said softly. "You first...this is one cookie you're using" she said softly. "Come get it before it flees."

"Yes yes...said, cookies can flee?" Nathaniel asked, slipping his hand under her shirt again and letting it nestle on the small of her back.

"Yes they can.." Anna whispered softly. "Come on.." she said tempting him even more, when she placed an innocent look on. "Please.."

He growled ever so softly and started with his half-laid plan, kissing and licking and nipping his way slowly down Anna's neck and across to her collarbones. He breathed gently on the trail tis tongue had left, chilling the skin, before he licked down as low as he could before he was stopped by the fabric. He peered up and pouted.
"Nn...I don'tike your shirt..."

Anna trembled and looked down at him, breathing softly. "D-Do something about it.." she said swallowing.

"I do believe I will..." Nathaniel agreed and quite skilfully he undid did the buttons down the front, immediately slipping his spare hand onto her skin too. He liked how she reacted to his cold hands. 
"Much better. Much."

Anna stared up at him, trembling from his cold touch. "S-So cold." she whispered softly. The only thing in his way now. Was her bra. She just realized how big she was in that one area... Self-contious about it. She closed her eyes, blushing. Her bra was over flowing- she had been meaning to get a new one..

Nathaniel bit his bottom lip gently as he peered at the large mounds of flesh. Hands, a little warmer now, slid forth and caressed the skin that what bared. He leaned forward and placed a few kisses where his hands touched. 
Nn...soft.

Anna let out a small noise. Almost sounding suprised, but the noise of pleasure soon came after. In a quiet moan.

"I was aware they were large, but not quite so...heh..." he whispered, a pleased smile on his lips. His hands continued to caress the skin, the left moving now to pinch gently a nipple through the fabric.

Anna let out a gasp, then a moan. "I-I've been meaning...to get a new bra.." she whispered blushing.

Nathaniel laughed softly. "Maybe I could help with that...it always helps to get an outside perspective as to fit, right?" he bent and licked a nipple through the fabric, replacing his hand.
"I guess it doesn't matter if this one gets wet then, huh?"

Anna stared down at him. "I-It doesn't matter if it...d-does." she whispered quietly.

Nathaniel took the aforementioned nipple into his mouth, still with the fabric over it, and nipped and licked and kissed and sucked it until the fabric covering it was completely soaked before he moved on to the other.
Was it wrong that he was thoroughly enjoying his 'cookie' thus far?

Anna's breathing quickened very fast. Her face redened as she touched his head slightly. "I-It's hot.." she whispered blushing.

"That's because you got me all hot and bothered..." he said with a small laugh as he moved up again and captured her lips, continuing to fondle her chest.

"Bother-" she was then cut off when he kissed her, she moaned a couple of short times. Then pulled out of the kiss to breath.

He peered at her with quite wide eyes as she breathed, studying her small movements. She really was quite spectacular...

His fingers crept up and gently brushed the bared skin of her neck.
"Nothing. Nothing at all..." he whispered truthfully, kissing her neck where his fingers had just left.

Anna kept her head tilted as she let out a pleasureable moan. "...Nathaniel.." she whispered out, shifting her leg in between his legs. Gently pressing againt his private place.

Nathaniel gasped and moaned ever so slightly. 
"Nn..." he said breathily, licking and kissing the silky skin again. "Heavenly..."

Anna gently rubbed her knee against him. "Y-You're aroused by me.." she whispered blushing, as her breathing picked up.

"How could I not be?" Nathaniel said in the same breathy tone. "You're gorgeous...and ever so sexy..." he practically purred, hands caressing her sides.

Anna looked up at him blushing an even darker shade of red. "A-And just the other day...you said I wasn't your type." she whispered quietly. "Your cookie is almost used up.."

"Oh no...I was so wrong though, so very wrong...and that's a short cookie, Anna..." he sighed. Ah, she was mean...but still lovely. Which was why he kissed her properly again.

Anna smiled up at him before kissing him back. She kept laying back, before sitting up slightly. "...Last treat.." she whispered in a breathless voice, as she fooled with her bra. She took it off and tilted her head. "Ready for the last of the cookie?"

Nathaniel nodded and smiled. He couldn't remember being happier - and he'd been happy quite often with his fighting. But this was just...well it was better, really.
"Ready, yes. But I mourn the loss of it..." he said with a small sigh. Teasing, nothing more.   He bit his bottom lip gently. GOD she was gorgeous.

Anna tilted her head slightly. "What are you going to do~?" she asked quietlly blushing. Teasing him as she covered them up. "They're waiting on you.."

He reached out, uncovering them before he touched them. His hands caressed the sides gently, thumbs slipping up to rub the nipples in a circular motion. He liked touching them...so firm but somehow soft... 
He moved closer and moving the thumb of one hand away before he captured that particular nipple in his mouth. He kissed and licked and nipped at it, glad for them to be free of the fabric so he could pay proper attention to them.

Anna tilted her head up breathing deeply as he began to give her breasts attention. "A-Ahh...Nathaniel...!" she whispered out breathing deeply for air.

Nathaniel chuckled softly against her skin...ah, so cute.
He drew his lips from one nipple and gently blew to chill the moisture he had left behind before he took the other into his mouth, beginning a repeat of the previous ministrations.

Anna let out a rather loud moan. Trembling under him, she closed her eyes. "N-Nathaniel.." she whispered quietly.

"Nn?" he responded, questioningly - did she want him to stop?
He gave the nipple a long lick before he blew on it too, and teased them more with his fingertips.

"Y-You've used your cookie up.." Anna whispered quietly in a teasing tone.

Nathaniel pouted and gave the left nipple an extra tweak before he drew away.
"Meany..."

Anna stuck her tongue out at him. "Naw.." she said teasing him again. "You're really that excited over me...aren't you."

"Well you're exciting..." Nathaniel said, semi-defensively. "Hard to not be when you're like that..."

Anna laughed softly. "Sorry.." she said softly kissing him on the lips.

"You are not. And I love that about you...wait, nope. You said my cookie was over. No kissy...against the rules..." he pulled away and shook his head.
"Tsk tsk missy..."

Anna tilted her head to the side. "Fine fine." she said slowly slidding off the bed and putting her bra on the best way she could. Then putting on her shirt.

Nathaniel lay on his stomach, watching her. He liked her movements.
"...You sure you don't want to come by my dojo some time in the near future? You'd be good at the fighting...plus you got natural padding..." he laughed softly.

Anna looked over her shoulder at him. "I'm sure." she said smiling at him. "Thank you for the offer." she said softly standing up. "I'll see you tomorrow at school, okay?"

Nathaniel nodded and blew her a kiss.
"See you. And be safe...please be safe. Want me to walk you?" he asked, half-getting up, showing he would happily do so.

Anna smiled waving a hand. "No, no. It's alright." she said softly smiling at him. "See you tomorrow."

He smiled and waved back, watching her go. He sighed happily and snuggled into his pillow.
"Ai..."

The following day, Anna came to school with a boy. She was talking to him with a smile on her face, also fermiler with him..

Nathaniel had been looking for Anna for a while when he came across her with some...boy. Simple boy.
He already knew he disliked him.

He hurried up, a faux smile  on his lips. "Good morning."

Anna looked from the boy, Chris and smiled. "Good Morning Nathaniel." she said waving up at him. "This is Chris."

Nathaniel nodded and looked over Chris. In his eyes, he was...boring. Uninspiring. And not that good looking.
"Nice to meet you..." he lied.

"Like wise." Chris said looking from Nathaniel to Anna. 

Anna blinked. "I'll be right back." she said running off from them. "I need to get something."

Chris looked at Anna then to Nathaniel. "What did you do to my little Anna?..." 

"I could ask you much the same thing..." Nathaniel said, his hands quickly tightening into fists at his sides.

Chris smirked. "Your the one who changed her...she wasn't like that when we went out." he said crossing his arms. "By the end of the day...we're going to be going out again."

"Changed her? I've not done a thing...well actually, I have. Have you? She came to me ... obviously you weren't good enough for her, so back off." Nathaniel stepped forward and pushed Chris quite hard.

Chris stumbled back slightly. "I left for a year. Had no choice." he said pushing Nathaniel back. "Oh we had a wonderful time in bed a year ago.." he said getting in his face. "She hasn't slept with you yet, has she?"

Nathaniel's face hardened. He'd done WHAT? He didn't feel inadequate though...he'd known her for perhaps four days...

"That was a year ago. Times change...and I really don't think that's any of your business..." he said, pushing him again, harder. How he HATED him...

Chris pushed Nathaniel away. "I can tell! She likes me!..." he shouted at him pushing him away again. "She only went to you because she needed comfort."

"At least I was there. You weren't." he said simply, turning as if to leave, before turning back and placing a kick squarely on his chest.

"Nathaniel!!" Anna screamed at him, staring at him. "What did you kick Chris for?" she asked glaring at him. "He didn't do anything to you."

Chris winced and held his chest. "Jeez.." he whispered glaring up at Nathaniel, before tackling him to the ground.

"He was saying horrible things about you -HEY!" he exclaimed as he was knocked down. The punch to his chest winded him, and he quickly rolled over to punch Chris in the jaw.
Bastard. 

Chris then was knocked out. "Nathaniel.." Anna said closing her hands. "Why the heck did you hurt him!?" she asked going over to Chris helping him up. "Go to our spot, I want to talk to you." she said in a snapping voice, and going to the nurses office.  Five minutes later, Anna came around to the side of the building. "Why the heck...did you fight with him..?" she asked in an angry voice.

"He was saying things that were just...bad. He said you had a wonderful time in bed a year ago when you two were together...that you only came to me because you needed comfort...that you'd be his again by the end of the day...I couldn't let him say those things! Not about you!" he exclaimed, running a hand through his hair.
"He's a bastard!"

"Shut up.." Anna snapped closing her eyes. "Chris isn't like that. Stop lying." she said glaring at him.

"I wish I were lying, Anna! I wish I were...he's...you know what, fuck it. You want to believe him over me, go ahead. I don't just fight, Anna. Not with random people. It hurts that you..." he trailed off and shook his head, stepping further away.

"It hurts that I don't take your side..when you're wrong?" she asked looking away. "Jeez.." she turned away.

Nathaniel shook his head. "But I'm /not wrong/!" he ran forward and grabbed her arm, turning her back.
"Don't turn away from me."

Anna looked up at him. "Let go." she said pulling her arm out of his grasp. "You are wrong." she said stepping back from him. "Chris isn't that heartless."

"It's what he said though. He asked what I did to you, said that I changed you. That you weren't like this before. Maybe he's changed since he's been away. He's...how could you have even ever liked him? He's horrible!" Nathaniel raked a hand through his hair and groaned. This was so wrong. SO WRONG. He was starting to feel that rush one gets before a fight which was absurd, considering he didn't fight women...

"He isn't horrible!" Anna said closing her eyes. "Stop saying that, Nathaniel!!" she said looking away. "This is pointless..." she whispered walking passed him.

Nathaniel grabbed her again, pinning her against the wall of the building.
"It's not pointless. Why don't you believe me!?"

Anna flinched and stared up at him. "Because it's just stupid!"

"How is it stupid? He was being a bastard, I stopped him!" He stared down at her, eyes on fire.

Anna looked away. "Because, he isn't like that!!"

Nathaniel turned her face to look at him. "He /is/!"

Anna looked up at him. "No he isn't!!" she shouted at him.

Nathaniel, more to shut her up than anything, pressed his lips to hers.

Anna let out a muffled gasp and then pulled away. Wincing, she felt gums get cut open. "You're lying!" she said closing her eyes. "Let me go.."

"I'm not lying and I'm not letting you go. I refuse..." Nathaniel licked her cheek - damn it, it was getting him all excited.

Anna shivered slightly as he licked her cheek. "Let go, right now." she said glaring at him. "Nathaniel."

Nathaniel shook her head and manouvered between her legs - so she couldn't knee him. "I don't want to."

Anna gasped quietly. "Let go!" she shouted again at him. "You're acting perverted.." she whispered blushing, as she pushed her arms forward to try and pry him off. "He isn't...like that!"

He grabbed her arms and held them up high, above her head.  "Did you sleep with him? He insinuated that you did. He said you had a great time in bed last year, and I don't think he was talking about playng cards..."

"What..." Anna whispered as she stoped moving. "No I didn't! I'm still a virgin..." she whispered quietly blushing. "I know you don't like him, so stop making up...lies.."

"I would have thought him a fine person if he hadn't said those things. But he did. He insulted your honour. I had to hurt him, I /had/ to. I couldn't put up with that!" He whispered back, moving so both of her hands were in one of his, and his spare arm was wrapping around her to  help her be as close against him as possible.

Anna stared at him. "...I don't...believe you." she said as she was pulled closer. "Chris, hasn't changed toward me so." she looked up at him. "Stop being...jealous."

Nathaniel growled softly and lowered his lips to her ear. "You didn't hear him. Of course he hasn't changed towards you, he wants in your pants..." he nipped her earlobe.

Anna shivered and closed her eyes. "No he doesn't." she said flinching slightly as he nipped her earlobe. "...You're just jealous of him."

"I am. I'm very jealous of him. Because he touched you like I do. And what's more, you believe him over me..." Nathaniel purred. It hurt him, it did.

Anna looked up at him. "Because...we were dating." she said looking away from him. "You couldn't ever touch me like he did. You have to /ask/ for permission to touch me." she was pushing him buttons to see how he ticked...the wrong approach, but the only way to see.

Nathaniel shook his head.
"No...I like to ask permission...I don't have to though. I'm touching you now, and I'm pretty sure I have no permission now..." he said simply, his spare hand moving from holding her gently to carressing a breast through her clothing.
"I could do whatever the hell I wanted. But I'm considerate...most of the time."

Anna gasped slightly. "You have...no permission to touch me." she said trembling in place. "I'm...not getting aroused." she said breathing softly. "I-I'm not." she swallowed deeply and shook her head. 

Nathaniel laughed softly. "You obviously are. You like me...even when I have you up against a random building. You like the danger...that's probably the only reason you like me, too..." he growled and licked her neck as he continued to fondle her. 

"No I don't." Anna whispered trembling in place, before pushing him away from her. Touching her chest and neck. "Pervert." she hissed turning away.

He grabbed her again, she turned her to look at him again.
"I still have one cookie left. If you're going to leave me and go back to that slimeball, I'm using it." 

Anna's face darkened. "N-Not fair." she said pulling away from him. "No, I won't let you have that cookie." she said stepping away from him.

"But you already gave it to me. You can't take it back now..." Nathaniel shook his head, tsking. "What...worried you'll like it?"

Anna didn't answer him, as she turned away. "I won't let you take the cookie from the cookie jar." she said walking from him. 

"What if I don't care? What if I just take it?" Nathaniel asked, following her and stepping in her path. "I might just do that..."

Anna backed up from him. "You wouldn't.." she said glaring at him.

Nathaniel quirked an eyebrow. "You don't really believe that, do you? I'm ruthless...dangerous. That's what you think of me, right? That I fight anyone and don't give a damn...so what makes you think I won't just steal the cookie?"

"Because, I won't let you." Anna said keeping her eyes on him. "You wouldn't hurt me.."

"Who said anything about hurting you?" Nathaniel darted forward and grabbed her hands, holding them behind her back. "I don't want to hurt you, and I won't.  But I'll still be getting that cookie. "

Anna looked up at him, squrming around. "I said no." she said closing her eyes.

"Too bad." Nathaniel kissed her - quite gently, considering the situation. As if coaxing her.

Anna pulled out of the kiss breathing softly.

Nathaniel moved smoothly to kiss down her jawline and her neck...so lovely. He felt horrible about having to do this, but he /had/ to. 

Anna trembled slightly. As her breathing picked up slowly. "..N-Nathaniel.." she whispered out trembling. "S-stop...please.."

Nathaniel walked her back to the wall and pinned her there firmly with his body, happy to be able to let go of her hands now.
"I can't stop..." he purred, smoothly slipping a hand under Anna's shirt and grabbing one of her breasts. He squeezed it roughly...and how nice that was. For him at least. 

Anna moved slightly, and let out a moan. "Nathaniel. Stop it.." she whispered out breathlessly.

Nathaniel shook his head. "You liked it...I heard you moan..." he whispered back, quickly opening the buttons of her shirt to see. 

Anna's chest was excited alright. She blushed and stared up at him. "...Nathan-iel." she whispered trying to cover her chest up.

Nathaniel took her hands and held them at her sides before dipping down to lick the skin.
"Mn..."

Anna's breathing went slightly un-even. "...Stop it...s-stop.."

"Why? You can't say you don't like it, that would be a lie..." Nathaniel slipped down the fabric of one side of the bra and gave a long lick to the nipple. 

Anna let out a quiet moan. "I won't say anything.." she whispered trembling slightly a blush on her face as he licked her nipple. 

Nathaniel nodded and nipped the nipple gently before taking into his mouth properly. The other, lacking the oral attention of the first instead got attention from his hand. 

Anna looked down at him, breathing deeply. She pushed him away, only to have herself fall to the ground. "I told y-you to stop it.."

Nathaniel joined her on the ground and pulled her into his lap.
"You don't want me to though."

"Yes I do...!" Anna said tilting her head down. "I won't let you touch thes again.."

Nathaniel poked one with his fingertip.
"You don't want me to. You liked it. You moaned, and you were breathing so fast...you like it. Being forced..."

Anna let out a silent noise as he poked her. "I won't...I w-won't be turned on again..I was hot." she said getting out of his lap quickly. 

Nathaniel grabbed her and pulled her back. "But you admit it. That you were turned on..."

"It's you fault." Anna said closing her eyes. "I didn't want to be.." she said crossing her legs slightly. "You got me...excited down /there/, Natheniel." she said pulling away from him quickly. 

Nathaniel coughed softly but quickly recovered, and grabbed her, pulling her back again.
"Well you know...that's usually what happens when a lady is truly, deeply aroused. I hate to hear that I got you excited down there and you want to leave unfulfilled..." he purred. 

"I'lll just go to the b-bathroom." she said trembling as he pulled her back again.

"No, no. This is something I have to do...you know you want me to..." Nathaniel ran a hand along her back.

Anna's face darkened. "...N-No I'll just go to the bathroom." she said closing he eyes.

Nathaniel purred and licked her neck.
"No you won't. You'll let me take care of it. I turned you on, I should finish you off, shouldn't I? It's only fair..."

Anna opened her eyes. "N-No...you shouldn't..." she said covering her private place. "No.."

"Why not? Convince me not to, if you really don't want me to. I don't think you'll be able to...you really do want me to, I can tell..." Nathaniel didn't make a move to touch her, not yet. Not there. 
He wrapped his arms tighter around her and licked her cheek. "You know it..."

"S-Stop..." she whispered out blushing an even darker red. "Nathaniel, quit it.." she said crossing her legs, gasping quietly. Did she...just came? Yes she did.

Nathaniel raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly. 
"I heard that...was that what I think it was, dear? I think it may have been..." he teased, holding her close. A little proud that she'd...well. And he'd not had to do anything, really. And she was so cute when she blushed...

"It was nothing!" Anna said quickly. Trembling inn her place. "Let me go to the bathroom.." she said keeping her legs crossed.

He shook his head. "Not going to happen, dear. Either you stay here, or you go to the bathroom and I come along too. Your choice..."

Anna shook her head. "N-Nither.." she said pushing passed him quickly, and ran as fast as she could.

Nathaniel sighed and ran after her - poor girl. He quickly caught up - he was clearly fit, and fairly fast. He grabbed her around the waist, stopping her from running any longer before he threw her over his shoulder and continued towards the bathroom.

"Ah!" Anna blushed and held down her skirt. "Put me down.." she said closing her eyes. As soon as they got to the bathroom, she looked away.

He closed and locked the door behind them, and put her down neatly. "You're down. Did you not appreciate the lift?"

Anna was blushing an even darker red. "It was embarassing..." she whispered softly. "W-Why did you lock the door?" she asked stepping back a step.

"I figured you would appreciate the privacy. Considering..." A small smirk played on Nathaniel's lips, but he made no effort to step towards her. There was nowhere for her to really go. There were a few other cubicles in the bathroom, she could have fled and hid in one of those. But it didn't matter. 

Anna swallowed and steped away from him again. Going into a stall and locking it. "No, I won't let you finish the j-job.."

Nathaniel wandered over and knocked on the door. "But you want me to. Why do you keep denying yourself, Anna?"

Anna closed her eyes. "I said no..."

"You didn't answer my question. Why do you keep denying yourself?" Nathaniel asked gently. Damn near caringly.

"Because...I don't want you to touch me.." she lied through her teeth. Knowning it was a lie.

Nathaniel shook his head and pressed himself gently against the door. "You know that's not true...at least give me a try. I wouldn't tell a soul..."

Anna's body was moving on it's own as she unlocked the stall. "...Promise?"

Nathaniel nodded. "I would never tell anybody..." he said smoothly - it was true, after all, he wasn't one to...uhh...touch and tell. 

Anna stared up at him. "...Okay." she said getting out of the stall and leaning against him.

Nathaniel, in a move that nearly seemed practised, lifted her into his arms and held her close to him before he slipped his hand under her skirt.

"A-Ah.." Anna said sounding startled for a second. Before leaning against him, breathing softly.

Nathaniel chuckled softly and continued on. Touching and rubbing her gently. Every sound, breath, he could hear. And he enjoyed it. 

"N-Nathaniel.." she whispered trembling in place, letting out a moan.

He kissed her as he worked, muffling her moans. Delicious as they were for his ears, it would have been suspicious if others had heard...

Anna's knees buckled, and she clinged onto him to stay up. She pulled away breathing rather deeply.

Nathaniel smiled and he pulled her back gently, caressing her cheek with his...uhh...other hand. "So then..." he purred.

"...I-I can't stand up.." Anna whispered blushing darkly.

Nathaniel smiled and picked her up neatly, sitting on the lid of a toilet and putting her on his lap. "That's normal. Sit here until you can stand again, okay?" he whispered.

"O-Okay..." Anna whispered softly to him blushing again.

"Ah, you're so cute when you blush..." he whispered, teasing her a little and poking her gently in the side. His lips brushed against her cheek. He hoped he was forgiven...he hadn't really done anything wrong after all...

Anna let out a small peep from her mouth. "M-Meh.." she whispered softly. 

Nathaniel wrapped his arms around her and licked her cheek a little. "So then...was it all that bad?" he whispered

"N-No...it wasn't." she said softly. "You used up your cookie.."

So it seemed he wasn't forgiven.
He nodded, but didn't let her go. "I suppose I did. Thank you. You were very...well you were...it was fun while it lasted..." he said softly, looking away. Poor boy.

"What...are you saying?" Anna asked looking up at him, before looking away. "Oh..Ch-Chris. I forgot about him." she said swallowing slightly. "Nathaniel?" she whispered looking up at him confused. "You like me right?...so why aren't we going out?"

Nathaniel's eyes lit up. "You said all those things...about Chris. I thought you didn't want to be with me any longer. And with the things he said, he made it seem as if I was a temporary thing. That you two had had such a depth in your relationship that you would immediately go back to him now that you could..."

Anna shook her head. "No. No. No." she said tilting her head down. "I wanted...to be with /you/ not him.."

"...Wanted? Does that mean you don't any more? I still like you...and would love to continue to go out with you...if you didn't have any reasons for us not to..." Nathaniel caressed her cheek.

Anna pulled away a little bit. "Continue...?" she whispered sounding confused. "We were going out before..?"

Nathaniel tilted his head to the side. "Ah, I was going to solidify that this morning...but instead I beat a guy up and had a cookie. Sorry..." he smiled apologetically.

"...So you were going to ask me this morning." Anna blushed. "Why did you?" she looked away with wet eyes

"Why did I what?" he asked, turning her face back to look at him. He sighed softly - he felt horrible now...

"Ask me?" Anna ased looking up at him, rubbing her face into his chest. Feeling tiny all of a sudden. "I really like you, Nathaniel."

"I really like you too, Anna. I have, since you threw the pencil at me..." he said softly, caressing her hair.
"And I believe I always will..."

Anna lifted up her head and looked at him. "Ever since...then?" she asked quietly. "Will you go out with me?"

Nathaniel nodded and kissed her cheek.
"It would be my honour, Anna."

Anna slowly pulled away from him and wipped her her eyes smiling up at him. "Th-thank you." she said softly. Before slowly standing up. "I'm alright. Knees need to get a grip though." she said laughing to herself.

Nathaniel laughed softly and shook his head. He held her hand for support and he too got to his feet.
"You're welcome...well then, may I assume you forgive me and my violent little ways?" he asked, pouting ever so slightly. He looked adorable - as he had intended. Though nowhere near as adorable as she.

Anna let out a sigh and patted him on the head. "I guess I don't have a choice when you look at me like that, Nathaniel." she rubbed her neck and opened the stall. "We need to go to the nurses office..." she said looking away. "See if Chris is still alive, alright?" 

He nodded and smiled.
"Ah, I wasn't that bad on him. I could have done a lot worse and you know it. Especially considering what he said - and I know you probably still don't believe me, but all the same...I could have done worse..." he nudged a cardboard toilet roll with his foot, sheepishly. It was SO his fault.

Anna sighed and streched slightly. "I know I know.." she said unlocking the door to the girls bathroom. "Come on." she said grabbing him by his hand.

Nathaniel squeezed her hand gently in his and led her from the bathroom. Luckily, no one seemed to be there.
"Nurse time. Lead the way - I've never had to go..."

"Alright." Anna said walking ahead of him, looking like she was pulling him along with her. They got to the nurses office quickly and she looked over her shoulder at him. "Come on, Nathaniel." she said walking inside.
Chris was sitting in the bed rubbing his brused up chin. Glancing over his shoulder as Anna came in, he looked suprised and happy. But when Nathaniel walked in holding her hand... He glared at him. "Why are you holding Anna's hand?"

Nathaniel smiled brightly.
"Well actually she's holding my hand. Why are you holding my hand, Anna? Shall we tell him?" he asked, leaning closer to her and purring into her ear. As if it were something special...and it was. They were going out.
Wouldn't Chris be furious?

Anna blushed slightly and smiled slightly as well. "W-We're going out." she admited holding his hand tightly as Chris got out of the bed. 
"You can't be..." Chris said approaching them. "You belong too me, Anna." he snapped snatching her away from Nathaniel. "We agreed to be together till we die."
Anna stared at Chris. "Chris." she said shaking her head. "Let go of me."

Nathaniel shook his head.
"...Told you, Anna. Chris, let her go...she's not a toy to be won, you can't own her. No one can. She belongs to herself..." he protested. He needed to get Anna away from him before he could hurt him badly. He didn't want to risk hurting her - he adored her.
"She's asked you to let go of her, Chris. Respect her wishes..."

"Shut up Anna and stop moving." Chris ordered groping her. "Choose, me. Who knows how you tick.." he whispered to him smirking to himself as he knew Nathaniel would get mad at seeing this. "Ever sweet spot you have...I know where."
"Le-Let...go..." she whispered closing her eyes. "Please."

Nathaniel stepped forward and grabbed the back of Chris' neck, pushing down ever so slightly on a pressure point. He knew it would feel as if he were digging his fingers in with all of his might.
"You WILL let her go. You WILL stop touching her. Or I will push down on this pressure point more and make you pass out. Do you comprehend?"

Chris let go of Anna. And Anna stared up at Nathaniel, a bit frightened. "Nathaniel...he let me go. Let him go."

Nathaniel let go immediately, and stepped back.
"It's okay, Anna. I let him go...for you." he said softly. It was clear he wanted to beat the shit out of the other boy. But he abstained. For Anna.

Anna looked away for a second. "Thank you. I-I need to be somewhere." she said in a stuttering voice.

Nathaniel's eyes widened a little. He wrapped his arms around her and lowered his lips to her ear. "Please don't leave me alone with him. Don't...I'll end up hurting him, and I know you don't want me to..."

Anna blushed and looked over her shoulder at him. "D-Don't hurt anyone, please." she said closing her eyes. 

"Fine, but if he throws the first punch..." Nathaniel sighed and ran a hand down her arm gently.

Anna nodded. "I-I know...you'll fight back." she said pulling away from him rather quickly. "See you." she said running out of the room.

"Adieu." he said to her retreating back before he sat neatly in a chair in the room. "So then..."

Chris wasn't in the room anymore. He had left when Anna and Nathaniel were talking.

Nathaniel blinked and glanced around. He glanced towards the door before getting to his feet and running out - he didn't think Anna was safe...

Anna turned the corner and sighed. Touching her chest, her heart was beating rather quickly. "Calm down." she whispered to herself trembling in place slightly. 
"It's alright, Anna. He was protecting you from me."
"Chris?" Anna whispered looking up at him confused. "Why are you acting like this?.." 
Chris didn't answer her, he just walked up in front of her. Pinning her to the wall, he leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Lowering his hands to touch her, causing Anna to blush. But unable to pull away..

Nathaniel walked not long before he turned the right corner...and saw all he needed to for him to get so incredibly angry.
"W-What the hell are you doing!?" he exclaimed, moving forward and wrenching Chris away from Anna. "You...how could you..."
She hadn't even been trying to push him away...not even trying.  He felt...well betrayed, honestly...

Anna stared up at Nathaniel with wide eyes. "I couldn't...move." she said trembling in place, feeling confused and broken at the same time. "I couldn't move, Nathaniel.." she said putting one hand to her head.
Chris smirked then waved goodbye. "Mission complete.." he whispered running of quickly.
Leaving Nathaniel and Anna alone. 

"You didn't even try to push him away! He was groping you - groping you! He was kissing you and touching you and you didn't seem to give a damn! You try and push me away...but not him. Why not him?" he asked, getting a little quieter...it hurt him SO badly. 
"It was stupid of me to think a girl like you could ever like a guy like me..."

"I couldn't move...Nathaniel.." Anna said trembling in place. "I'm sorry. I-I couldn't...m-move." she was scared. "I like you, Nathaniel!" she said looking up at him.

"He wasn't touching your arms, Anna. You could have pushed him away if you'd wanted to...but you didn't want to. He was right - he does know your every spot, your triggers...that's why you couldn't move...you wanted him to t-touch you..."

Anna stared up at him, trembling she gently touched his arm. "I-I can't move whenever someone touches in those places." she said in a quiet voice. "I'm sorry, Nathaniel."

"You move when I do. I guess I just don't touch you as well as he does..." Nathaniel pulled his arm away from her. It felt so wrong to him that a touch from someone else could paralyse her so completely.

Anna stared at him, and pulled her arm back. Looking away she blushed. "I have a spot on my stomach..." she whispered shivering. "...That if someone touches it, I can not move."

Nathaniel stepped closer - intrigued.
"...Where on your stomach? Would you be prepared to show me?" he asked, still a little reserved. He wanted to know...to experiment with it. He didn't even know people could have spots like that...

Anna lifted up her shirt a bit. "R-Right here." she whispered touching the spot gently. "Add a bit of preasure.."

Nathaniel reached out and pressed the spot ever so slightly.
"Here?" he asked, peering at Anna's face.

"A-Ah..." Anna whispered out as she stoped moving. "...Yes.." she whispered blushing.

Nathaniel stepped closer, still touching that spot.
"So I could do anything I wanted to do to you, now, and you wouldn't do a thing...because you couldn't..."

"R-Right.." Anna whispered closing her eyes.

He wasn't all that angry any more - having a helpless Anna in front of him stopped that. "I won't lower myself to his level...if we do things, we do them [mostly] because we both want to..." he whispered, lifting his hand off the spot and peering down at her.

Anna moved her arm around abit, before looking up a Nathaniel. "...But you did...earlier." she closed her eyes. "Don't you...be angry with me." she snapped softly. "I didn't know what was going on.." she said looking away from him and whispered something under her breath. "Idiot." tilting her head away.

Nathaniel shook his head. "You didn't believe me about him. Do you believe me now? Well do you?" he exclaimed, taking hold of her chin and turning her back to him.  

Anna flinched and pushed him away. "You're the one who didn't believe me.." she said looking away. "...I believed you about him, I was just---" she stoped talking then looked away from him. "Pushing your buttons.."

Nathaniel turned her back.
"Why? Why would you do that? Why deliberately push my buttons? I don't get it...it hurt. Do you understand that? It fucking hurt!" he was...well he didn't like not understanding things. 

"I wanted to see how you tick.." Anna said wincing slightly.

Nathaniel shook his head. "That's a horrible thing to do. HORRIBLE. Well what did you find out that you didn't already know then, huh?"

Anna didn't look up and him. "...I-I'm sorry, Nathaniel." she said closing her eyes. "...I didn't...find out a thing.."

He tilted her chin up with his index finger. "What were you hoping to find, then? Tell me that at least..." he said, near whispering.

Anna stared up at him. "...I don't know." she said staring at him.

"Well I hope you're pleased." Nathaniel said simply, shrugging. How she could have done that was...beyond his comprehension, honestly...

Anna closed her eyes. "I'm not pleased." she whispered looking away from him. "I should go.." she said keeping her eyes closed.

"...How weird is it that I don't want you to? That even now, I want you to stay...?" he whispered, staring at her. What /was/ it about her? That she had been bold enough to stand up to him? He didn't know...just just he clearly wasn't the only man to have gotten addicted to her in the past.

Anna opened her eyes and stared up at him. "I...don't know." she said leaning against the wall. She gently moved in a quick pace. And for some reason, she hand pinned /him/ against the wall. Not saying anything, she rubbed her knee against him. Then leaned up and kissed him.

Nathaniel looked at her questioningly - her pinning him? Well this was certainly a different series of events. A VERY different series of events. And he didn't mind, honestly. Not even when she rubbed against him did he make a sound - he refused to. He was a little angry still, but it subsided when she kissed him. He kissed back, of course - a man would have to be made of stone not to.

Anna slowly pulled out of the kiss for a second. Before kissing him a bit harder this time, she wasn't in control of her body it seemed. She closed her hands around his wrists, and pushd against him a bit more. "...Nathaniel.." she whispered pulling away slowly.

Nathaniel peered down at her - eyes wide, and burning. 
"So then...what was that for?" he asked, at a loss for words. They'd been having a disagreement and then...pin-kiss. And a reversed one at that. Just...hmm.
But it was good all the same... 

Anna looked away blushing. "I don't know.." she said softly. "I had the urge too.." she whispered softly as she looked back up at him. "I'm going to go now.." she said walking passed him.

Nathaniel shook his head and grabbed her arm.
"No. You can't do that. You're not just kissing me and leaving..." he pulled her back, hard, so she bumped against him. He wrapped his arms around her and peered down.

Anna blushed and winced slightly peering up at him. "...I-I'm aloud to do whatever I w-want.."

"What if I don't let you go?" Nathaniel asked, tilting his head to the side ever so slightly. "What if I just keep holding you?"

Anna closed her eyes. "I-I'll struggle then."

"And what if I keep holding you...and perhaps press that spot on your stomach so you're helpless?" he whispered.

Anna looked up at him blushing. "Y-You wouldn't.." she said moving around.

Nathaniel shook his head and crept one of his hands down her side. "Do you not know me at all?"

"Let go." Anna said moving around again.

"Why should I?" Nathaniel asked, ghosting his hand across Anna's stomach gently before pressing that spot.

"A-Ah.." Anna suddenly stopped. Her arms were unable to move. "Nathaniel...don't do anything perverted.." she said closing her eyes and blushing.

Nathaniel smirked and kissed her cheek. "That depends on what you call perverted really, doesn't it?" he said,, voice smooth as silk. Ah, and she was blushing. It drove him mad.

Anna opened her eyes and looked back at him. "No...t-touching me..." she said trying to move, but failed.

"What kind of touch...?" he purred, licking down her neck gently. As he moved, he began to, incredibly slowly, ease the pressure he was putting on that spot on her tummy.

"...No touching my chest, or private place." she said bluntly with a dark blush. "Y-You don't have...a-a cookie.."

He laughed softly. "Nn...but I do. Not your kind, but the edible kind. In my bag. You wouldn't let me swap one kind of cookie for another, would you?"

Anna shook her head no. "N-No...I won't." she said crossing her legs slightly.

He sighed softly and caressed her cheek. "Aw...but you want me to. I can tell you do..." he cooed, kissing Anna on the lips fairly chastely.

Anna closed her eyes, then pulled out of the kiss. "I said. No, Na-Nathaniel..."

Nathaniel lifted her in his arms a little before pinning her when she had pinned him against the wall. "But I can make you say yes." he growled, doing a 180. He was clearly fed up with being sweet and cajoling.

Anna winced slightly, and stared up at him. "...I-I won't...let you!" she said covering her chest and trembling slightly. He sounded angry. 

"Ah, but did I say you had a choice in the matter?" he asked, moving her and pinning her arms above her head with one hand, before sliding the other down her side. He touched one of her breasts a little roughly through the fabric - soft.

Anna gasped suprised and closed one eye as he grabbed her breast roughly. "..N-Nathanial.." she whispered trembling slightly. "Stop it.."

Nathaniel tweaked the nipple before he pressed his lips to hers.
"But I don't want to stop...I'm quite enjoying myself...as you will too."

"...A-Ah.." Anna whispered out in a moan. "S-Stop it...I won't.." she whispered trying to move her arms from his grip. "Nathaniel, stop it..r-right now."

Nathaniel chuckled, pressing his body against hers. 
"I'm not stopping a thing, Anna. And there's not a damn thing you can do to stop me...this is how it always seems to happen - you struggle against me...you tell me to stop...but then you give in. And now I don't care if you give in or not..." he growled, licking her cheek as he continued to fondle her.

Anna tilted her head away from his. "N-No...you s-should care." she said keeping her eyes closed. "..Stop...please, Nathaniel.." her blush was covering her entire face. "We're in the middle of the school, d-don't..."

"Ah, so we are...I find it a little exciting, personally...anyone could see..." Nathaniel growled, dipping his mouth and nipping the nipple gently through the shirt - making a small wet spot from his saliva.

"A-Aaah.." Anna whispered out, before pushing him away. Breathing deeply she covered her chest, and shook her head. "N-No...d-don't...do...t-that.."

Nathaniel watched her for a moment, allowing himself to be pushed back before he pushed her back to the wall.
"You're practically panting...you can't talk straight. I have to do that...I can't just leave you hanging, can I?"

Anna opened her eyes and stared at him. "Y-Yes you can." she said tremblling in place. "...I don't want- a-anymore." she said keeping her arms tightly around her chest.

Nathaniel forcibly moved her arms away from her chest and tsked.
"Tsk tsk...lying to yourself? No. You mustn't. You need to give in..." he said ever so slightly harshly - almost trying to shock her, ever so slightly. He doubted it would work, but he had to try.

Anna closed her hands up into fists. "N-No I won't give..i-nto this." she whispered looking away from him, moving her arms from his grasp. "I-I w-won't give into you.." 

Nathaniel shook his head and pressed against her.
"Yes you will. You did before, and you will now, and you will again..." he turned her face to look at him. "You will. And it'll only hurt you to fight against that."

Anna stared up at him with wide eyes. "...Then I-I'll fight against it." she said closing her eyes, letting out a small noise as he pressed against her.

"You want to hurt yourself? Ah, but then you like danger...you probably want /me/ to hurt you...and that's rather strange...isn't it?" he asked, wrapping an arm around her and slipping a cold hand under the back of her shirt.

As she was pulled toward him and hugged, she closed her eyes and kneed him while she could. "Let g-go!" she said squriming out of his arms with wide eyes.

Nathaniel groaned softly, releasing her and doubling over. It hurt. A lot. Why did she have to knee him like that?!
"That...hurt..." he gasped, peering up at her with large, despairing eyes. He nearly looked...betrayed.

Anna's eyes softened and she gently lifted him up. "...I'm sorry.." she said putting him against the wall, she looked fragile as she stared up at him. "You were out of control.."

When Nathaniel had caught his breath again, and straightened up, he looked down at Anna with a VERY different look in his eyes than betrayal. Perhaps...success. Triumph?
Yes. He turned so she was the one pinned, again, his legs between hers - so he couldn't knee her again.
"Out of control? How so?" he asked, smirking.

Anna stared up at him with wide eyes. "Y-You tricked me..." she said sounding almost hurt. "Get off of me.." she whispered tilting her head away from his.

"No...it did hurt. What did I do to trick you, then? And you still haven't answered me...how was I out of control?" he asked, caressing her side again. How he loved to touch her...even when she was being so...adorably stubborn.
That little smirk was still on his lips.

"You won't listen to me.." Anna said blushing and staring back up at him. "Get off.."

"I'm listening...talk fast or I'll pin you here for the rest of the day..." Nathaniel warned - and the look on his face insisted that he really /would/.

Anna looked up at him. "Get off of me..I don't want to do this, Nathaniel." she said quietly to him. "Please."

"We're not doing anything. Just tell me, how was I out of control? If anything I was quite toned down..."  Nathaniel said, slipping his hand under her shirt again, to rest on her hip. It would seem a lot more intrusive than it actually was...for at that moment...he was mostly bluffing...

Anna closed he eyes "You wern't listening to a word I said before." she said looking up at him as he slipped his hand into her shirt.

Nathaniel shook his head. "Ah, but that's not true. I was listening...and then disregarding whenever you lied to yourself. Which was often..."

"You're not a lie detector, you don't know when I lie." she snapped glaring up at him. "Get off of me, Nathaniel."

"I can tell when you want...certain things, Anna. You don't want me to get off. In fact, I think you'd be disappointed in me if I did...I'd be disappointed in me too. It's against my very being to leave a beautiful girl restless you know..." a teasing little smile - ignoring her snapping and glaring.

Anna trembled in place. "I'm not...restless." she said scooting back from him slightly, since he was between her legs. "I'm not wanting this." she said closing her eyes and looking up at him. "Get off of me."

Nathaniel groaned and wrapped one arm around her, so he was sandwiched between he and the wall, with the arm in the curve of her back, locking her to him.
"Stop it. You're trembling, you can't tell me you don't want this...of course you do. Your body gives you away..." he growled forcefully, tweaking her nipple through the clothing as he picked up his game a little.

Anna closed her eyes and began to breath softly. "S-Stop it.." she whispered hearing the forcefullness in his voice. She stared at him with one eye open. "No..."

Nathaniel lowered his head to lick her neck and didn't bother to speak words...he let his touch do the talking. His suddenly a little rough, but masterful and passionate touch, caressing and teasing her chest...only above the shirt for the moment though it was certainly subject to change...

Anna let out a small noise as she was unspeakable as he touched her the way he was. "Nathaniel.." she whispered trembling slightly. "This isn't...fair.."

"How so?" he inquired, lips against her ear, not ceasing his ministrations. It was almost as if his hands were moving of their own accord...

"M-My...body might say yes...but..I'm saying no.." Anna whispered to him in a fragile like voice.

Nathaniel sighed near despairingly and nipped her earlobe. "But your body /screams/ for my touch...when it screams that loud, how can I ignore it?" he asked matter of factly, slipping his hand smoothly under her shirt again.

Anna closed her eyes. "I d-don't know.." she whispered quietly. "Why aren't you listening to /me/ and not my body?" she asked staring up at him as he slipped his hand up her shirt.

"Your body is part of you, no? You know I can please you. Let me..." he bit down on the skin of her neck gently, licking it afterwards to soothe any possible pain - though he doubted it would actually hurt.
His hand snuck up her side slowly, before easing under one of the cups of her bra.

"I don't...want to be pleased right now.." she whispered closeing her eyes as he cupped her breast. "Let go of me right...n-now.."  she whispered out then let out a loud moan.

He laughed softly and squeezed her breast gently, the thumb ghosting the nipple.
"You do...and I can't, not when you moan for me like that..."

"Ah...Please.." Anna whispered out crossing her legs even more. "You're going to make me..."

He licked her lips teasingly as he continued to touch her.
"I want to make you..."

Anna's eyes widened and she closed her eyes tilting her head away blushing. "N-No..."

Nathaniel moved down a little, moving his hand to the other cup, to caress the other breast. His lips close around the nipple of the recently vacated breast though the clothing, and he made a small, affirmative sound in the back of his throat.
"You want to...let it..." he said softly, before returning.

Anna moaned loudly and then grunted softly. "I-I Won't...I won't..." she cried out in a soft distent voice. "I won't-.." she closed her eyes and breathed deeply as it was released against her will. "..N-No.." she whispered embarassed.

"Yes...about time. You need to lose a few of those inhibitions, Anna. It's healthy..." he purred, licking the nipple through the shirt once more before he let it be. He was obviously pleased with himself...

"..." Anna kept her eyes closed. Breathing deeply, she touched her breast and grunted her teeth. "...M-My...nipple.." she whispered in a suprised voice. "...It's...i-it's excited."

He couldn't help but chuckle at her surprised tone.
"Well of course. With what I was doing, it's only natural..." he slipped his hand from her bra carefully, and just held her there...waiting to monitor her response. He expected her to be at least a little mad...

Anna swallowed slightly. "Why...did you...do this?" she asked quietly in a confused tone as she stared up at him.

"Because you needed me to...and you were driving me insane..." he whispered, brushing his lips against her cheek.

Anna turned her head away from his kiss. "...I needed you to?" she asked a little mad. "I didn't say anything about it." she said closing her eyes.

Nathaniel shook his head. 
"I said your body was screaming to me...plus, to be honest, you did start it. When you pinned and kissed /me/, and then just said you felt like it...well...I knew you needed to..." he said honestly.

Anna blushed. "T-That was..." she looked away. "I didn't mean..." she fell silent and kept her legs crossed.

"You didn't mean what? You needed it...that much is obvious..." Nathaniel grabbed her chin and turned her head to look at him.

Anna stared up at him. "...No I didn't." She closed her eyes. "I didn't mean to kiss you."

Nathaniel stared at her for a moment before letting her chin go.
"...Not consciously maybe. But your body meant to..."

"Shut up.." she whispered tilting her head down. "Stop telling me what my body does."

Nathaniel forced her head up again and kissed her...surprisingly gently, really.
"I've never met anyone as disconnected from their own body as you are...it's a shame..."

Anna blushed and kept her eyes half way open. "..Nathaniel it isn't..I'm not disconnected." she said staring up at him sadly. "I'm not.."

"Then why do you keep denying me? Denying yourself? Do you really not like me?" he asked, his voice as sad as her eyes.

"I do...like you." Anna whispered softly as she gently lifted up a hand to his face. "I'm just not used to..this."

Nathaniel peered down at her, and a small smile formed on his lips.
"This?"

"Y-Yes, this." She said blushing again.

"Well do you like...this?" he asked, curiously. Hopeful.

"...I'm not going to lie.." Anna whispered blushing. "I..do like it."

He smiled and his grip loosened around her quite a lot. 
"So you don't mind...?"

At the moment he lossened up, she pulled away blushing. "..Right now I do...because I don't want to anymore." she said softly looking up at him.

He kissed her cheek and smiled ever so slightly. "Well as long as you're not going to punch me out for touching you..."

"I won't." She said softly. "N-Now...Can I get to a bathroom please?"

He laughed and pouted. "...I want to help. Let me?" he batted his eyelashes.

Anna blushed. "I actully have to pee.." she said bashfully.

He too blushed and laughed more loudly, stepping back and bowing.

Anna blinked slightly before she took off running. "I was just joking!" she said as she turned a corner.

"OH YOU BRAT!" Nathaniel called out and chased her - Ah, she was cheeky!

Anna got to the bathroom and got into a a stall quickly.

Nathaniel quietly entered the bathroom.
"...Anna? Oh Anna? Which stall are you in, mon cherie?"

Anna finished using the bathroom. "I'm done using the bathroom~"

Nathaniel sighed and bounced on the balls of his feet.
"You know...I bet our teachers aren't pleased..."

Anna sighed. "I think...they'll get over themselves." she said getting out of the stall. "I need to dry my shirt.."

Nathaniel poked her side.
"I can dry your shirt..." he smiled cheekily.

"H-How?"

"Air power?" Nathaniel bent slightly, so his lips were against the wet spot, and he blew gently.

Anna gasped quietly and leaned against the stall door. "...Air power...is co-cold.."

Nathaniel chuckled and blew a little harder.  "Yes...I have to admit, that's one of the reasons I chose this mode of drying..."

Anna trembled slightly in place. Moaning softly in her place.

He absently caressed her side as he blew, changing how he blew for a quick burst of hot air before returning to the cold - contrast was fun.

Anna shivered slightly, then touched him on the head. "It's dry, Nathaniel." she said softly with a smile on her face. "We should...go to class."

He peered up and pouted. "...In your words, the teachers should get over themselves..."

"Don't pout at me.." she said rubbing his head gently. "We've skipped...three periods. We need to get to class."

"...Well we've skipped three, why not just skip school alltogether for today?" he suggested, wrapping an arm around her to hug her a little.

"If we're caught..." she sighed tilting her head down onto his shoulder. "...I'll kill you. Okay?"

"Kill away. I'll give you the gun myself." he kissed her hair and smiled. AH, SUCCESS.

Anna blushed and closed her eyes. "That was tacky Nathaniel." she said smiling up at him. "But that's alright."

Nathaniel winked. "You loved it anyway. Tacky can be fun, as can cliches..." he smiled back happily.

Anna sighed and patted him on the head. "Notice you're not acting like an asshole now?" she asked crossing her arms looking up at him. "Why did you force me in the first place..anyway? Because you like seeing me fight?" she asked in a confused voice.


Nathaniel laughed softly.
"No...I was a little mad. About you purposely trying to make me mad, about you kissing me and trying to run...I forced you because I like to see the fire in your eyes...but I hate to see you fighting against what you want. I can be an asshole again if you want me to, though..." a cheeky smirk formed on his lips, and his index finger brushed her jaw as it had before...teasingly.
"I'd be more than happy to..."

Anna blushed and looked away. "P-Pervert.." she whispered closing her eyes. "You can act whatever way you'd like." she said rubbing her jaw slightly. "I-I didn't get excited...over /that/ Nathaniel."

Nathaniel poked her side and shook his head.
"Ah, but you lie. It's when I put the pressure on you that you really seem to react...strongly. You quiver and moan and it's wonderful...you don't react in quite the same way when I'm all gentle..." he wrapped his arms around her, kissing her neck.
"And you know it."

Anna gasped softly. "How...can I act not so aroused? My body is sensitive.." she said softly looking down with a dark blush as he kissed her neck. "Y-You're acting perverted...a-again." she said closing her eyes. "Nathaniel."

"I think you like it. You like it when I'm perverted..." he chuckled at her reactions - just a kiss and a hug. It was definitely the attitude.
"I know it is...but it seems so much more sensitive when I growl into your ear, and nip and kiss in just that one, slightly arrogant way. When I touch you a little roughly..."

"T-That...wasn't enough to make me want to sleep with you.." she whispered out blushing. "N-Not...enough." Why was she saying this? She hadn't got a clue. It wasn't like her to say that. "I-I won't let myself get like that.."

Nathaniel shook his head, a small smile still lingering.
"Who said anything about sleeping with you? I'm more than happy just continuing as we are...why jump to such a drastic conclusion?" he purred, kissing her earlobe.

"Nothing.." she whispered closing her eyes as he kissed her earlobe. "I'm just saying you couldn't...do it." she whispered looking away from his face.

"That's fine - anything like /that/ would only happen when you were ready. I push, but not that hard..." he caressed her side, and blew into her ear a little. Aw, she was so cute...

Anna blushed again. "I dare you to then...Nathaniel.." she said closing her eyes. "Make me /want/ you that much..."

Nathaniel wasn't sure how to respond. He was being dared...to make Anna want him more, it seemed, than she had ever wanted any man before. And, honestly, he wasn't sure he could...and so, he refused.
"I'm not going to treat /that/ like a game."

Anna blushed and then sighed. "I want you too though...I want you to make me feel the need for you, Nathaniel." she said closing her eyes tightly. "Please.."

Nathaniel smirked a little and caressed her cheek gently. "Really now? Well I can't help but say yes, can I? Now that you've really asked me instead or daring...how could I say no?" he purred. Aww...she looked so cute...

Anna opened her eyes slightly. "W-What exactly...are you going to do?" she asked in a quiet voice.

"Well...I've not exactly decided yet..." his other hand moved to draw small circles on her lower back. "I'm thinking...I wing it. Go with the passion of the moment..."

"O-Okay.." Anna said swallowing softly. "Should we do this...here at school?"

"We should do this wherever you feel comfortable..." Nathaniel nuzzled her cheek.

"Your house.." Anna said looking up at him with gentle-like eyes. "Is that alright?"

Nathaniel nodded and let her go, swiftly taking her hand in his. "Of course it's alright..."

Anna leaned in closer to Nathaniel as they left, suprisingly the school once again didn't notice he two leave. Sighing as she squeezed his hand tightly, she closed her eyes. "I'm scared to get that excited..." she admited as they arrive at his house.

Nathaniel smiled and brushed his lips against her cheek. "There's no need to be scared, especially not of that. Why would you be afraid of that?" he asked, his voice full of intense curiousity.

"It's just that, it's never happened to me.." she said taking one step away. "Maybe we shouldn't d-do this."

"Ah, but Anna...you know what they say about having to face your fears..." Nathaniel shook his head and tugged gently on her hand.

"N-No.." Anna said pulling away from him. "No Nathaniel, I'm sorry." she said turning away from him.

Nathaniel wrapped his arms around her and sighed softly, kissing the side of her neck. "Ah, but you came so far..."

Anna sighed. "Y-Yeah I did. But, it's time to stop playing this.."

"Playing what, mon cherie? Who said anybody was playing?" Nathaniel whispered and licked just behind her ear.

Anna looked back at him with wide eyes. "No..Don't tell me you're going to make me.."

"Make you what, Anna?" he purred, in that silk voice of his. What he would in the future dub his 'asshole voice'.

"Make me...do what you want.." she whispered looking back at him.

"Of course not, dear..." he paused and blew into her ear a little, before moving to rest his chin on her other shoulder. "I may make you do what you want, though..."

Anna pulled away and stumbled backward. "This is...just like last time." she whispered staring at him. Trembling in place she let out a sigh to calm herself. If she had to run, she would.

"And shall we look at what happened last time? You melted in my arms..." Nathaniel leaned casually against a wall, as if nothing was wrong. "You must admit...last time you did need something you wouldn't let yourself have. You must wonder if this time is really any different..."

Anna took another step back. "It is different." she whispered looking away before turning to run. "Because I won't give into you." she said glancing back at him for a second, and running up a thing of stairs that lead up to his second floor.

Nathaniel sighed and ran after her, up the stairs. "I really didn't think people in real life ran /up/ stairs to get away from people. I though that was just what silly people did in movies..."

Anna turned around a corner quickly and sighed. "Silly people are in real life...run up the stairs."

"Well clearly. You know...there's nowhere to go up here..." Nathaniel raked a hand through his hair and rounded the corner.  "Hi?"

Anna backed away. "I-I don't want to do anything, Nathaniel!"

Nathaniel stepped closer, his head tilted to the side a little. "You dared me though, did you not?"

"But you refused..." she said as she neared a wall. 

"Ah, but then you asked me again...you said please..." he purred, sweeping forward to gently pin her.

Anna stepped to the side to avoid the pin. "But I don't...want to." she whispered stumbling backwards towards the stairs.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "Then why did you dare me? Why did you ask me? Why did you practically beg me?"

Anna flinched. "I don't know." she said closing her eyes.

"Well it's obvious you do. Remember the first time you dared me? You were scared then too. But there was nothing to be afraid of...was there?"

Anna stared up at him. "I- said no." she said glaring at him now and pulling out of his grasp.

"Ah, but no to there being nothing to be afraid of...or no to me? Or both?" he asked, taking her hand more gently. A ploy...a sneaky ploy.

"Too...both." Anna said looking away from him. "And I keep my mind on one thing whenever I say it!"

Nathaniel nodded. "Fair enough. But what are you afraid of? I just need to know. It's a little sad you don't trust me..." he sighed, brushing a few strands of hair from her face. The smallest almost-arrogant smile crept back.

Anna's eyes widened. "It's not that I...don't trust you." she said softly pulling away from him again. "It's just I changed my...mind."

Nathaniel took her hand and squeezed it gently, before placing a kiss upon it. 
"But why? Why did you change your mind though, Anna? You seemed certain, you even dared me again. A very sudden mind change, wouldn't you agree?" though he held her hand gently, it was the sort of grip that could switch into a dangerously solid grip in a snap, if need be. 

Anna stared up at him, and started to pull her hand out of his. "IT was a quick c-change of heart." she said looking away. "But then I thought about it and I'm not...sure about /that/ anymore." she answered him closing her eyes.

Nathaniel tightened his grip on her hand and pulled her a little closer. 
"You don't seem sure about your own words. Are you keeping something from me? You know you can tell me..." he purred, caressing her cheek with his free hand. 

"I'm not...keeping anything from you." Anna said staring up at him. Flinching slightly. "Let go, I don't want to fight you to let me go."

"I can't let you go, and you know that. You dared me. I can't back down from a dare, now can I?" he said matter-of-factly. He liked it when Anna went all fighty... 

Anna moved her hand around. "Yes you can, this one time." she stated keeping her expression normal, for the most part.
