Aya AU: meeting Cat

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan is hanging out near the station, waiting for Aya to get off work. Every now and then his hair makes a semi-disgruntled mrrp? noise. The reason for that is the small black cat who is not in the cat carrier at his feet.

She wrapped her legs around his waist as a matter of course, but her attention was really on his lips. Her teeth were small and human, but it was still fun to nip slowly along his lips until she could kiss the corner of his mouth.

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan's teeth are worn down, compared to when he was young, but still slightly sharper than hers. He makes a strange little noise of pleasure, kin to a purr but not quite, into her mouth.

[mitochondriaaya]

Her lips stretched into a grin at that sound. There were advantages to dating Dilan. One of them? The sheer range of sound he could make. It made her happy. Jesus.

She couldn't purr. She could worry his lower lip a moment more then give into to kissing? Or exploring the inner shape of his mouth really. she liked to know these things.

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan, if he ever knew that, would grin. As it is, he's just going to concentrate on kissing her more. Mmmm. Aya.

[mitochondriaaya]

She'd probably never tell him? Just kinda grin. A lot.

The problem with a semi-public pool was that eventually some one would come in. In this case it was Nara who cleared his throat politely then dropped a towel over the couple's heads. "Thrilled you're dating Aya." he remarked teasingly.

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan just grinned, like a maniac. How could he not, when caught making out with Aya in a pool?

[mitochondriaaya]

Well, considering she'd gone a lovely shade of red and was giggling into the current kiss like anyone caught out...well...she couldn't exactly shake fingers at him. "If we stay under this towel do you think he'll forget we're here?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Doubt it." Dilan mock-whispered, "I'm probably still shedding into the pool." He did his best to get all the loose hairs off before getting into pools, but cats shed. That's just what they do. Katzu shed nearly as much.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Eh, that's what the cleaning crew is for." And gym fees. Not that she paid gym fees, but she would for the benefit of swimming with Dilan. "Few more laps?" Before Nara did something drastic, like hose them?*

[sliceitwithwind]

"Few more laps sound good." He shoved himself off of the wall and back into the rhythm of swimming; long strokes to stretch his body a bit more before they left.

[mitochondriaaya]

Which left her...holding the towel while Nara chuckled somewhere nearby. It was only natural to throw the by-then sopping material at her trainer and stick her tongue out like a nicely mature woman. And just to prove she could be good, she swam in the lane next to Dilan, working her shoulders and arms more than her legs.

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan did his usual laps, above and below the water, for another few loops and then heaved himself out with a faint moue of distress. Being in the water? Fine. Being out of the water and wet? Ick ick ick.

[mitochondriaaya]

She finished her last lap when she noticed him climbing out, then rested her chin on the edge to watch him. HE WAS NICE TO WATCH!

Cue more Nara chuckling before he got down to doing his own laps.

When she noticed his discomfort though she hopped out and made a sliding dash for towels! TOWELS! "Wet cat?" She asked, draping him liberally.

[sliceitwithwind]

"Wet cat." Dilan agreed, scrubbing at himself to dry it off, "I love swimming. I hate being wet out of the water."

[mitochondriaaya]

She passed more towels as he seemed to need them, happy to cart soaked ones to the bin by the pool edge. "Given that..thank you for swimming with me." She gave him a soft grin and helped him squeeze out his hair (there were a lot of dreads to deal with!). "And you look incredible good regardless of discomfort?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Oh, I love swimming! It's worth the ick. I just like to keep towels on hand." He waves one of them briefly before returning to squeezing, "And thank you."

[mitochondriaaya]

"I can still thank you, whether you enjoy swimming or no." She paused in the drying to find a spot on his face under the towels to kiss. "Thank you, thank you, thank you." She smirked and gave him a peck for each thanks.

[sliceitwithwind]

He nuzzled her with a laugh and said, "Well thank you for the invitation, so there."

[mitochondriaaya]

"And thank you both for not making me make new rules about pool conduct!" Nara called after one of his laps.

Aya stuck her tongue out at her sparring instructor and finishes squeezing Dilan's dreads. "We can exit and spare Nara's sensibilities?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Thank you for not hitting us with a cold hose!" Dilan called back, "Lets shall." he murmured to Aya, giving her a quick hug and then heading towards the locker room.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Well, you're not kids, so you get one warning before the hose!"

Aya laughed and flicked the end of a towel at Nara before he ducked back under the water. "Meet you after showers in the gym then dear." Time to dash to the showers and get dressed! Hmmm, she owed him a dinner didn't she? Somewhere in there?

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan's laugh floated back towards Nara, then he went in to shower and get dressed again.

Afterwards he went to peer around the gym, cat-like, poking into this, that, and everything.

[mitochondriaaya]

Aya was content to lean against the door back into the gym, watching her boyfriend...prowl. Prowl and poke. It was adorable. "Inspecting one of my homes away from home?"

"Making sure it passes par would be my guess. He seems the type to want assurances his girlfriend is well taken care of." Nara opined, towel around his waist and an amused expression on his face. "So, my gym suit?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Yup!" Dilan said, grinning, "Can't help it, I'm feline. I have to poke my nose into everything. It's a good gym, sir. Do you give classes to beginners?"

Not him. Beginners.

[mitochondriaaya]

"I can see that. I'm glad it works for you." Nara was pretty sure Dilan wouldn't have talked Aya out of attending his gym but...he was still glad! "And yes, I do. Both martial arts beginning classes, mixing several styles as students require...and less standardized self defense courses and confidence building."
