Home Is Where Your Stuff Is (Xian)

[Maverik]

San Francisco… Its golden bridge stood as a monument to the city, a city that would soon be changed forever… After the events at Varron Academy, most of the schools best and most renown were offered a second chance… They were offered a place in a school known as Hircine High, located quite near to that very iconic bridge itself. And along with the students, a certain Dean was offered a position on Hircine’s staff…

A taxi pulled up outside a large apartment complex, and from it stepped none other than Maverik. The new Dean of Hircine High… He looked up at the building and nodded approvingly. It wasn’t a very rich place, but it was still nice. A two bedroom apartment, with a lounge, a kitchen and a bathroom with a separate toilet. Being so close to the water, the rent wasn’t very cheap, but it was affordable considering Maverik’s bank account.

Maverik turned back to the taxi, and reached inside, taking the hand of a beautiful young woman. With a gentle tug, he helped Tong Xian Tian from her seat to the street by him. He smiled warmly at her, knowing that she didn’t need to say a thing to make him happy. She had achieved this, simply by saying yes when he needed her to the most.

Maverik had told Xian that he would have to move to San Francisco, and that he wanted her to come with him. But he told her to think about it, but regardless of her decision, he would leave the next afternoon. He had waited for her at the terminal, as he was to fly to the city, not wishing to take the mass transportation offered to him. And just when it looked as though she would not turn up, she appeared from the crowd and told him that she did want to come with him.

Their things had already been delivered a few hours ago, so they didn’t have anything to carry up with them as they entered the building. Maverik took a pair of identical keys from the man at the counter, and they got into a lift. As they waited for the moving box to bring them to the 13th floor, Maverik wrapped his arms gently around Xian, slipping them under her own arm’s, and gently resting his forehead on the top of her head.

They soon arrived at the floor, and Maverik took her gently by the arm, leasing her to room 105. Their new home. Slipping the key into its lock, Maverik turned the mechanism, listening closely to the click before flinging the door wide open. He stepped inside and breathed in deep, looking at the boxes and various pieces of furniture. “Home sweet home” He said with a smile. “So, what do you think?” He asked with a grin as he turned to Xian.

[Tong Xian Tian]

It was a new begining. It seemed so unbelievable. There she was, in a cab with her lover, leaving the city where she lived for about a year or two. But she had to go somewhere. After the school being blown up, Xian didn't know where she was going to go, she needed to go to a school, but which one? Either way, the only school she could go to was one outside of the city where she went to school. But luckily for her, maverik said he was going to San Fransisco. It was far away and she wouldn't be able to see her family for a very long time, but she needed education and she would prefer being around Maverik. At least that way, she would feel safe.

After a good long time, the cab stopped. Maverik stepped out, Xian following behind, letting him help her out of the vehicle. The young Chinese girl looked up at her new home. It wasn't perect but it was beautiful notherless.She looked towards Maverik and smilled, happy that she would finally live with him. It was a dream come true, it was definately what she always wanted. Plus it was a good leap to living the independant life she dreamt about for years. Only she, Maverik and THEIR home, no one else, with their rules.

Walking inside the biulding with him, Xian stayed close by to him, feeling alian to the new building. Maverik took the apartment keys and led the young Xian to the elevator. The door closed behind them and soon after, Maverik was holding her, her arms over his. Xian giggled as he placed his forehead upon hers. It was always sweet the way he held her and showed his affection towards her. But as they got higher, Xian got more and more nervous to see her new home, but yet she was excited. Whatever teh feeling was, it didn't matter.

Then the elevator stopped and the door opened, soon after she was feld by the arm again and directed to the apartment. Xian took a deep breath when she was released, watching as Maverik unlocked the door. She then closed her eyes and walked in, only opening them once she was inside. What she saw, made her gasp in disbelief. It was beautiful! Her new home! All she needed to do now was unpack and decorate a little and it would be the home she wanted. Xian walked inside some more, spinning slowly as she wanted to look at the biulding from all angles.

"Oh my god, Maverik! It's perfect! It's even better then I had imagined!" Xian exclaimed joyfully. She then ran up to him and hugged him. "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!" she then peck him softly on the lips and ran off to the rooms, looking at which would be hers.

After entering the first room, she saw her boxes inside, indicating that this was her room. It was fairly large, enough to hold all her 'girly' things. Xian immediately opened her boxes, putting her clothes in the dresser and closet, her products being put on her dresser which also had a giant mirror and some of those products being placed in the bathroom. After that, she made her bed and placed some of the frames with family photos on the wall and the little furniture beside her bed. On that, she also placed a phone. All was almost done in her room. Xian then walked out of her room to see what maverik was up to. After that, she would work on the living room.

[Maverik]

Maverik grinned playfully as Xian darted into her room and began unpacking. She was such an energetic girl. Something that he was quite fond of. He looked over to the right, seeing that his room was the door right next to Xian’s. He let his hand fall upon the door handle, and he turned it, slowly creaking the door open. Inside he saw a double bed with no sheets or blankets, a small chest, and a duffle bag lying in the middle of the floor. That old bag… It had been with him since he first left Japan, and his entire life was contained within it. He grabbed the opening and loosened the string, opening the top and reaching inside.

He pulled out the first thing he felt, a photo in a frame. It was of an old Japanese man wearing a very nice traditional Japanese outfit, standing by a small boy of about nine years old. The boy also wore a nice traditional outfit, and was smiling happily, as the old man’s face showed a content smile, his wise eyes looking towards the camera gently.

A slight smile came across Maverik’s lips, as he just stared at the photo for a while. Soon, a single tear slid down his face, dripping gently onto the glass in front of the image, landing on the old man and sliding down to the frame. Maverik gently placed the photo on the dresser next to him and spoke. “He was my Sensei… He took me in when I was no better than the trash on the street. He trained and cared for me, but he was killed by the local gang in Kyoto…”

He knew that Xian had approached the open door and seen him there. He wasn’t ashamed of his emotions, but he felt that he shouldn’t keep things from her. And after such a display, she would have definitely had some questions… Maverik didn’t get up, he simply sat there, his eyes since fallen to the carpet as he looked away from Xian.

[Tong Xian Tian]

OOC: (sorry for the late reply. Was at Ran's for a bit. ))

As Xian walked closer to his room, she could hear him speaking. She just stopped for a bit and layed her back on the wall next to the door to his room. His words were sadening and the way he spoke, she could tell that he was in tears. 'Something wrong.....I might as well talk to him about it. It might make him feel better.' she thought before she pushed off the wall and walked inside. And there he was. Just as she immagined, crying but also holding a picture. A picture of his sensei and by the way Maverik spoke of him, he must have beena really great man and very important to him.

"Maverik...." she softly said. Her eyes were calm and were sadened for him. She wanted to help him and that's what she would do. She had to, she knew it would make him feel much better.

So the young Chinese girl walked up to her lover, her body facing his sitting one. She then bent down a little hugged him a little, his head in her chest.
"Oh Maverik.....you're heart is aching......" she then moved away from him and sat beside him, holding his hand with her own, palm to palm. "You want to talk about it to me?" she asked, keeping calm and rubbing his hand softly with her fingers to keep let him know that she was there and not going anywhere else.

All she knew at the moment was that his sensei was prebable the most important person in the world and now he was killed. Xian would have to help him the ebst way she could. Plus she knew how it felt to lose one that you cared much for. She did lose her mother at the age of four and lived teh rest of her life miserable until her aunt saved her from the misery of her father. But right now, Maverik was the most important person to her and she would help him anyway she could. It was what she wanted to do.

[Maverik]

Maverik felt Xian wrap her arms around him and let his head be placed upon her chest. Her voice was soothing and he remembered exactly why he fell for her. She was a kind and gentle soul, with a fiery disposition and the will to protect that which was dear to her. It was these things that aided his feelings for her, but at the same time, those feelings he held were also fearful.

She sat next to him and held his hand, and asked of him to share his troubles. And so, for once in his life, he opened up completely. “Xian… It’s not just Sensei… Every one I’ve ever loved… Ever cared about… They’ve all been either suffered from me, or been put in harms way…” He took his other hand and gently placed it on Xian’s own as it held his right hand. “My foster family was mostly killed by the demon within me… Atsuko, the first girl I ever fell for was killed, and Kira has been placed in danger one time to many. My friends have been forced to fight battles not their own, and I have even tried to kill my best friend…” He brought her hand up to his mouth and kissed her fingers gently, his eyes now wet, though he held back his tears.

“I was not born of love or even a moment of passion. I was brought into this world an experiment by my father… A man who even to this day wishes me to become that which would destroy all…” Slowly, his gaze rose from the floor to Xian’s eyes. “I’m not afraid you will leave or that I will be hurt… I’m afraid that you may be hurt by me…” The worry in his eyes was pure as the sky above them. He was concerned for his love. He knew that she was not incapable of defending herself… But often, martial arts were not enough to stay alive in Maverik’s world. It was in fact surprising that Maverik himself was still standing after all this time. “I love you Xian… And I don’t want to see you hurt because of the way I live my life…” He confessed as his hands went limp and his head sank once more.

[Tong Xian Tian]

Xian stayed beside him, waiting to see if he would tell her what he was thinking. Plus it showed that he wanted to talk about it. Just the way he was breathing told her so. And at least if she knew what was on hios mind, she could help him somehow. Or at least try to.
And then he spoke. Told her everything that was on his mind. He then placed his other hand upon her own and spoke sopme more. What he said was a little hard to take in. It reminded her so much of Setsuna. But hopefully, Maverik would not leave her because of those reasons like Setsuna had. Xian really wanted to try and make she and Maverik work out, it was all she wanted, so she hope dearly that all would go well.

He then looked at her for the first time after entering in the room and spoke, then looking down at the ground once more. So much was on her mind now, but she had to try and put it into words.

"Oh Maverik......" she softly said, not too sure how to say what was on her mind at the moment. "I know you've been through a lot. I know you're just worried, but I don't mind. I understand about your past. And I know that after all your lovers have been harmed, you fear about my safety. But I am the one taking the chances." she started, pointing all her fingers to her chest.
"You have fears and possibly regrets, so do I. But you need not to worry about me. I can easily defend myself, and if I get hurt, it doesn't matter. I get harmed all the time for multiple reasons. Just a month or so before we met I had just fully healed from getting shot in the hip." and there she giggled a little from embarrasment. It was a little funny on how she got shot. And on that day she learned that teasing people with guns and beating their allies was not a good idea. "I'm sure I won't get in trouble and if I do, I'll try and get out of it. Plus, I'm an accident waiting to happen. It's normal for me to be hurt. So don't worry about me. Right now, you still need to heal from your inner wounds. Worrying about me is just making it harder for you, so stop." she said playfully.

[Maverik]

Xian’s words were strangely comforting, bringing a smile to Maverik’s face. “I know… I just worry…” He took his hand and placed it on the side of her face, stroking her cheek gently with his thumb. “I know you’re a capable person… Its part of the reason I first asked you out. But you have to understand that when my past catches up to me, if we’re not ready, then we won’t see another sunrise together.” He gently pulled her head in and kissed her forehead.

“Don’t worry about me. I’ll cope as I always have. The picture just caught me off guard because I haven’t seen it is so long.” He stood up, giving Xian a hand along the way. He seemed back to normal now, his usual smile returned. If Xian were to look closely, she might notice a similar smile in his Sensei’s face.

“I’m going to start the Watchmen again.” He said suddenly. “I’ve spoken to the headmaster of this new school, and by the sounds of things, tensions are going to be running high between the Hircine students and the transferring Varronites.” He reached into his duffle bag and fumbled around for a moment, finally pulling a bamboo roll out, and holding it towards Xian with a smile. “I’m going to pre-empt that tension before it has a chance to get out of control.” The roll was very familiar. It was the laws of the Watchmen he had imposed when he first opened the Varron Dojo, a building now being looked after by a close friend of his who now teaches a variation of Kung Fu.

[Tong Xian Tian]

The smile on his face pleased Xian very much. It was what she wanted to see. This obviously made Xian smile also, making her feel like she did some good. For once. And then he rubbed her cheek with his tumb, Xian moving her face a little with his strokes, liking the feeling of his skin on hers. "I know you do, and it's okay to an extent." she giggled a little. Xian moved her face away, a little shocked and confused by what he had just said, "What? What do you mean?" she asked, fear seen in her eyes. But he then pulled her head in and kissed her forehead, Xian letting him do so without moving away or struggling at all.

And now it seemed like none of this had happened at all as Maverik's normal smile came back into view as he got up, helping her up also.
"I'll try not to." she stuck her tongue out playfully. Though she acted happy and calm, deep inside, she still feared and did not understand what he meant before.

"I see. Well that's good. I'm still in the Watchmen, right?" she asked playfully. "And I know about the tensions. I've heard from some people and from what I've heard they think that all Varronites are bad cases. Sure I was bad in my first American school, but once I transfered to Varron, I acted kind and hardly caused any trouble. But even if they knew that, I know they'll still bother me when I go to my first class....." she said worried about how her first day would be.

"Well once you have everything ready for teh Watchmen, tell me all the info and so on. I want to be there when the first meeting in San Fransisco starts." she said nodding.

[Maverik]

As Xian asked him about her place in the Watchmen, he smiled and kissed her lips gently and unexpectedly. “Of course you are Xian… After all, I can’t have the one I love missing out on all of the important thing’s we’re going to do.” He then smiled as she told him that she wanted to be at San Francisco’s first meeting. “I wouldn’t have it any other way love” He cooed as his right arm gently slid under the small of her back.

He could feel Xian’s warm breath on his face, and her eyes seemed to sparkle in the light of the room. “You know… We’re never going to get any unpacking done with you being so cute” He joked, gently kissing her nose. His right arm slipped out from behind her and he winked playfully at her, before turning around and placing the scroll to the side, then reaching into his duffle bag again, pulling out a few more things like his electric razor and some other knickknacks, including the box of left over Watchmen rings and placed them all on his dresser.

His bed was already made, so he didn’t need to touch it, but beyond that, he was pretty well done. He had left most of his cloths in Varron, and had yet to go shopping for more, and so he had nothing else to unpack, because the rest of the duffle bag’s contents were that which he never unpacked. The things he never took out, yet always brought with him.

He turned around to see that Xian had decided to start unpacking the rest of the house, and as he walked into his doorway, he could see her looking through a box. He leaned against the doorway and smiled. She was everything to him now. Just the sight of her peering into the cardboard box was enough to make him revel in her radiance. He said nothing, just watched until she noticed him.

[Tong Xian Tian]

She had not expected the kissed and almost moved away wondering what he was doing, but as soon as his lips touched hers, Xian moved forwards a little to kiss him back, a smile clearly seen at the corner of her lips.

Xian giggled and nodded as he spoke so cheerfully,
"That's good. I want to be there for the excitement!" she exclaimed happily.
Xian giggled as Maverik held her gently. It was always nice when he held her. Plus the words he used were always sweet but playful, just the way she liked it.

"Well you'd have to let go of me." she playfully said stciking her tongue out again. Maverik then kissed her nose, she winking as he did that and he then released her. Xian giggled away into the living room to unpack more things and get their new home organized and good looking.

The young Chinese girl immediately went off to place the living room tables where she wanted, one in front of the couch and the others next to them, and then looked through a box to see what needed to be put away.
The first box she looked into had a bunch of books which needed to be placed in the small library furnature. Xian pushed the box, not able to lift it, towards it and emptied the books, placing them in order into the furnature. Then from a distance, she could hear a funny nose comming from a pile of boxes stack upon eachother. She looked behind herself to see Maverik standing there looking at her.

"Mav? Did you hear that? I think I heard something weird...." she said softly.

'But what would make suck scratching and biting sounds......?' she thought.

"MING MING!!!" she yelled, running towards the boxes, moving them aside and taking out an animal carrier, in it was a little Golden lion tamarin monkey. Xian immediately opened the carrier, the little monkey comming out and rested on her head, galring at the 'prison' that he was in for a few hours.

"Oh Ming Ming! I can't believe I forgot you!" she exclaimed, removing him from her head and hugging him. The monkey squeeked happily, glad to see his master. Xian then stood up and walked towards maverik. "Maverik, this is Ming Ming, my little monkey. I don't thik you two have met yet."

The monkey jumped out of Xian's arms and landed on Mav's shoulders, playing around with his hair a little.
"See! He likes you already!" she smilled and cocked her head to the side.

[Maverik]

Xian suddenly stopped her unpacking and looked about. She spotted Maverik, but seemed more concerned about the scratching sound that was becoming louder and more definite. Suddenly, Xian flung into a frenzy as she realized what was making the noise. After a few moments of desperate searching, she produced a golden cage from the pile, and inside sat something completely unexpected…

“A monkey?” Maverik mouthed soundlessly as his eyes widened and his mind suddenly went blank. She hugged it and playfully called it Ming Ming… She walked over to the stunned man and introduced the small creature as her pet, who then promptly leapt onto his shoulder causing him to jerk back a bit. This didn’t seem to bother the monkey who decided to stand up and start rifling through his hair.

“Y-you have a monkey?” He asked rhetorically, still a little shocked. “I can’t say I was expecting that” He added, now standing up straight again, trying to ignore the strangeness of the situation. Ming Ming seemed to tire of looking for bugs and climbed out onto his shoulder, using it as a vantage point to survey the room. “Inquisitive little fellow isn’t he?” He joked, deciding to try and become more used to the situation, as he wasn’t likely to have much choice in the matter.

[Tong Xian Tian]

Xian smilled as Ming Ming happily looked through Maverik's hair. But obviously, there was no bugs and Mav's hair was brushed, so Ming Ming had nothing to do. No bug picking and no hair to groom, so he got bored and moved to his shoulder, looking around his new large unorganised home. It was a different place for the little guy so he did not know what to expect.

"Yeah, my uncle got me him back in Varron so that he would keep me company and get jelp if I ever ran into trouble." she explained. "Isn't he cute?! Yeah, the little guy likes to learn about new things. He's also a rare specie, only the truly rich can get one of these so I'm really happy I have my uncle."

Xian then pet Ming Ming whom was preocuppied, playing with Maverik's sleeve, curious by the material. The monkey squeeked softly and rubbed his head on her palm, then grasping her hand and licking her fingers.

"He's really affectionate. It's great that he likes you. He doesn't like just anyone. When I used to live with Da, Ming Ming hated him and often caused troubles for him. I kindda feel bad."

Xian the took a deep breath and looked around again.
"Well I'll continue now. You can play with Ming Ming if you like, if not then just put him down. He'll look around and stuff. And don't worry, he's house trained and very intelligent." she said, looking back at all that she had to unpack. "I just need to make him some kind of doggy door to go outside and he's all good. But I'll worry about that later."

Xian then returned to her unpacking, now decorating the living room before going to the kitchen.

[Maverik]

Maverik looked back at the monkey and grinned. “You’ve got a very thoughtful mum double M” He said with a chuckle, giving the small humanoid a nickname almost absentmindedly. He gently picked the little guy up and placed him on the couch, letting him scamper about the apartment of his own volition while Maverik helped Xian unpack by moving into the kitchen and began stacking the cupboards.

As he sifted through the boxes, it became very apparent that almost all the plates and cooking tools were Xian’s. His own box contained nothing more than a very particular glass, a coffee mug with his name on it, one single plate, and a few forks and spoons. It was a true testament to how he had been living the last few years. He couldn’t cook at all, and so ate take out or instant ramen constantly. He sighed and placed his few things in their own corner of their respective cupboards, mixing his own cutlery with Xian’s.

The kitchen wasn’t very enclosed, only using a counter with the sink in it to separate the strip of room from the rest of the house, and so as he worked, he found his eyes falling back to Xian regularly, and each time they did, he couldn’t help but smile. The way her slender body bent as she dug deep into the boxes of their personal affects… The way her hips swayed a little as she walked about the room… Even the way she gently brushed the hair from her face whenever she stood up straight again…

The unpacking took several hours, but finally, the house was mostly done. Maverik had finished the kitchen and packed away the linen closet, finally coming out to where Xian had been working on the lounge for most of the time. There was indeed a lot to be done there, as it was also their dining room of sorts, and contained the majority of their things.

“I think that’ll do for today hun…” He told Xian with a hug from behind. “We’ll finish off this room tomorrow after I get back from work” He added rather pointlessly. “But for now, I think we can finally relax a little…” He gently kissed the nape of her neck before stepping back and letting her turn around. “Even unpacking a house you’re beautiful” He told her with a warm smile. “I’m glad that you agreed to come with me Xian… I love you too much to have lost you like that…” He grinned as he sat down into their couch. “Mind sitting with me? We can watch some TV” He rubbed the spot next to him a little to emphasize his request. He just wanted to be with her for a while…

[Tong Xian Tian]

Xian smilled and giggled at the little nickname that Ming Ming was given. It was sure easier to call him that anyway. She looked at Maverik for a bit as he placed her baby down onto the couch, the little guy immediately running off to have an adventure somewhere in his new environment. Though Xian knew that she was most likely going to either her room or Maverik's. The little golden monkey preffered to sleep in others' beds anyway, he slept with Xian every night. Then Maverik went off into the kitchen to start some of the work there and she went back to do her own things in the living room.

The young Chinese girl looked about the room at where she should place certain things and how the room would look better. The extra things were placed in a box all together and was then moved to the closet for storage. But either then that, all was in place, and all the extra boxes that once contained objects were all formed into thin cardboards that could easily be made into boxes again. Some times, she would back at Maverik whom was also putting things in place. She admire the way his arm muscles flexed as he moved them, and just the way he was build. It was a sight that she loved to see and made her blush a little. Though she looked away quickly each time he would look back at her. She didn't want him to know that she was checking him out.

It took a few hours but it was all worth it. The living room was well designed and looked great. There were a few boxes left for other placed but Xian was now tired and had enough for one day. She took a deep breath and wiped her forehead with her arm as she saw Mav comming up to her by the corner of her eye.
He then went behind her and hugged her letting her know that it was enough for now and would continue the next day.

"I agree." she calming said, moving her head to one side as he kissed her neck a little. She then turned around and laid her hands on his chest a little, her body almost on his as she blushed. "Am I? Well you also look good doing so yourself." she said going on her toes and kissing his lips softly. "I'm glad too. It was a great idea comming here. I have my new home, my new life, and especially with the one I love." she smilled, her eyes half-open.

Maverik then moved away and walked towards the couch, and sat on it, asking her to also do the same and watch some television with her. Of course she nodded and smilled, walking towards him and sitting down right besides him, laying her head down on his shoulder, her hand to his chest. "What's on anyway?"

[Maverik]

“Why don’t we have a look?” He asked rhetorically as he poked his tongue out at her playfully. He picked up the remote and flipped the now set up TV on. Its screen slowly faded in as the sounds of a news report beat the picture to their senses. It was the end of a report on the large student transfer into Hircine, the city’s most well known school for its reputation of producing well mannered members of society. The news broadcaster went on to say how it was still a mystery as to why such a prestigious school had accepted the Varronites, given their violent tendencies.

This caused Maverik’s eyebrow to rise slightly as he thought that such a move would have been well justified. Never the less, the news then went on to do a report on a new restaurant on the river in the form of a very beautiful luxury boat. Maverik chuckled a little, thinking that perhaps he should take Xian there one day, before flipping the channel over to see what else was on.

The TV landed on the weekly movie, which was by pure chance a movie about two kids fresh out of high school, and how they fell in love. Maverik smiled and put aside the remote. He gently wrapped an arm around Xian and just sat in silence with her as the movie played. Maverik however, wasn’t paying much attention to the film. He was more interested in the small Chinese girl who was cuddled up to him. He felt at ease with her there. Completely at peace with the world. A luxury he usually wasn’t afforded.

After the movie had played for about an hour, the two protagonists had come together, but been torn apart when the boy was killed in a car accident. But his ghost had found her again, and was trying to comfort her by holding her as she waited outside her office hopelessly for a taxi. Maverik gently kissed the top of Xian’s head, holding her closer. “It’s sad that he died… But he doesn’t seem to give up” He said with a smile. “A stubborn quality, but one we share I guess” He added with a slight chuckle.

He tried to keep watching, but soon felt his eyes becoming heavy, and his awareness slipping in and out. Xian’s warm body comforted him, and her sent filled his head with a dizzying sensation. “I love you Xian…” He murmured before finally, his eyes closed completely, and he fell asleep with a smile on his face.

[Tong Xian Tian]

Xian giggled as Maverik turned on the television, though the irst thing she could hear was a new report, obviously being about the Varronits transfering. She could not understand why such a transfer was such an important topic, but everyone else took it the same way as the news. Sure, the Varronites were known from far and wide to be trouble makers, but not all were like that, some like Xian, Ran and others were very kind and only thrown in Varron out of a pure misunderstanding. But it didn't seem to matter anymore. Xian was now a Hircinian and would accept it. At least if she managed to prove to the Hircinians that she wasn't as bad as they thought, she would be able to fit in as one of them and possibly be happy and have a good time at her new school. Though she had a feeling that convincing them would not be a very easy task. But no matter, she would try anyway.

Then Maverik changed the channel to a weekly movie which looked very interesting. She watched it with much interest wanting t cry on some scenes but tried to keep it in. The only time that she couldn't though was when the guy died. Xian sobbed a little, trying to wipe her tears in secrecy, not wanting him to know that she cried while watching most lost movies.

"Yeah...it's so sweet....." she said softly. "I agree." she smilled while looking at him, though as she looked at him closely, she appeared to be very sleepy. Xian didn't say anything, she only watched him every here and there to see if he fell asleep or not. She then smilled, her eyes-half open again.
"I love you too."
Then then fell asleep, so Xian got up and went into her room. She reached into a cupboard and took out a blanket. She then walked back into the living room and placed the blanket on him, after that, she moved the blanket at where she was before and sat there, placing the warm cloth back onto her as she laid her head on his chest and soon fell asleep also.
