Blind Match [Closed]

[Odette Delacroix]

Odette made a small sigh as her attempt for him to make a move, failed. She would make a small smile and slowly take her hand back to rest on her lap. 'Awe, I swore he would've at least held your hand.~ All mushy and gushy.~' Chiwa teased. 'Oh well, not everything plays the way you want them, Chiwa.' Odette told her by thought. She would listen to him as how traveling can be cheap and that he never really thought of his dreams. She chuckled lightly and turned away as to see the waters. The lights started to come on as it was getting dark. ''Yea, but you know...Even when I have Chiwa and my sister...I oddly feel alone in the world. Traveling like that isn't fun, you know?'' she spoke, looked up at the stars that were appearing as lights dimmed. The violin music was grand, at this moment romantic.

[Nicholas Hyde]

Alone...yeah, Hyde remembered that feeling well. He had effectively been alone for most of his life. Sure, he had loving parents, but when you're on an intellectual level much higher than everyone around you, you could feel completely isolated in a crowded. He glanced over at her. He could understand how she felt very well. He hesitated for a brief moment, before gently bringing a hand up to rest on her shoulder. "Well, who says you have to be alone anymore?" he asked, giving her a warm smile. After all, she didn't just have Chiwa and her sister now. She had him...though how she had him, he'd leave up to her.

Odette would look at the beautiful waters, but then she felt a hand on her naked shoulder (due to the type of dress). Her face blushed as she quickly turned her head to look up at him as he spoke about not being alone anymore. 'OOOOOooo~ I think he's moving in.~ Chikachika bang.~' chiwa teased as she danced. '...Damn you.' Odette spoke coldly in her thought to Chiwa. She would lower her gaze and blushed still, her white long hair, swaying slowly to where her bangs would half cover her pink eye. She felt weird inside, but all she could do was bring her hand up to go on top of his that was on her shoulder and held it. Her head tilted a little with a small smile and a tiny chuckle. ''I...I guess that is true.'' she would speak, head tilting down to lower her gaze. She didn't want to admit on what he was proposing as she sort of wanted him to say things, express it...Things that she never got to experience, as most were afraid to even signal what they wanted.

Hyde blushed as Odette's hand rested upon his own. He seemed to be doing this without even thinking. This was his first date ever, despite all the experiences he had in life. Granted, he had never met a girl like Odette before. And the girl seemed just as she as he was feeling right now. But he couldn't stop now. The two were having a moment and Hyde's only option was to keep going. The problem was, just what the hell was he going to say? "If...if you ever feel lonely...I'm always here for you."

Dangit, what am I doing? This is our first date ever and I'm already saying stuff like this. Then again, I've never been with anyone like her before.

He was afraid to say anything else, waiting for her response before continuing. He didn't want t overstep his boundries and ruin the whole evening.

Odette Delacroix

[Odette Delacroix]

Her body felt weird, her brain was on auto pilot, her heart was confused as Odette has never done this. She felt her own hand twining their fingers as if her body was in control. 'W-what's going on?' she questioned in her thoughts. 'I'm going to let your body follow your heart! Thank knowledge!' she spoke with a trolling-like tone and facial expression. She sighed softly and lets this happen, as long as it didn't get too far. As sadistic Chiwa could be, she wouldn't harm Odette in any way. She heard Hyde's words as he was saying that if she ever felt lonely, he was always here for her...sparking her heart like two cable cords sparking up a car. ''I-I...'' she was able to let out that word alone as her face blushed bright pink. Her eye would look at his and then turned her face away. ''I appreciate it..and as I will be for you if you need anyone as company.'' she spoke rather shy as her heart was hurting from fear of 'What if I say something wrong?' kind of thing.

Hyde had to admit, Odette looked rather cute when she was blushing. His own heart jumped when her fingers intertwined with his own, her cute and shy response to his own words. His mind was scrambling to think of something, anything.

Dammit, say something! You've always had a sharp remark before! Then again, this really isn't the time for some snark. Though maybe a little humour will break this damn tension!

Very gently, with his remaining hand, he took her chin and slowly tilted her head up to look at him, looking into her eye with a warm smile. "You know," he said, coming up with the words on the spot, "You're rather pretty when you smile." He mentally kicked himself. What kind of thing to say was that!?

Odette Delacroix

[Odette Delacroix]

She wondered on what was going through his mind. She would regularly guess that some perverted thought was going on, but Hyde didn't seem that type. When she looked away, she felt his hand lift her head up to look up into his eye. Their faces were about ten inches away from each other. Her heart was pounding face as she was then complimented of her smile. Her eye looked away, half closed and bit her lower lip for a second. 'I...I don't know what to say...' she thought and then mumbled softly, ''I...I don't think I do...but thank you.''. She honestly didn't feel great about herself, her body nor her personality. She felt worthless to the world besides doing some stupid magazine and being a face for her family. She remembered that she wasn't even noticed for her logic or anything as a person, just her appearance. Even though that was true, she bores upon things that are logical...

Their faces were so close together, only ten inches away. Hyde swore he could feel her breath against his face and he was certain she could feel the same. He was using all his self control not to tremble as his heart went crazy in his chest. He really did mean it when he said she was beautiful. And not just for her looks either. She was strong, collected, intelligent, she was more than just a pretty face. That's probably what drew Hyde to her.

Then, all of a sudden, before he realized what was going on, he felt her lips against his own. He had actually leaned in and kissed her.

What the hell are you doing!? AbortABORTABORT!

Hyde suddenly pulled back, his eye wide and his face bright red. "I-I'm so sorry. I got carried away!" Dammit! And the evening was going so well. Any minute now she was going to slap him with that artificial hand of hers, and it looked like it would hurt.

Odette would look at him as she would wonder once more on what was on his mind. She couldn't tell with him as she only felt the warm pulse from his hand as their fingers were twining. Her heart kept beating painfully, but the good kind of painful. Something felt shocking as she then closed her eye, felt a pair of lips against hers, making her heart skip. Her face became hot with her cheeks burning, her eye was glistening and sparkling like an ocean of pink colored water, reflecting the moon and stars. Slowly with her artificial hand, she touched her lips and felt them. Due to her technology...she could still feel with her fake hand. Slowly she would feel her own lips, thinking about the kiss...as that was her first. Slowly she licked her full lips in thinking how she actually enjoyed that feeling. Her head would tilt up and look at Hyde. He seemed rather flustered of some sort, freaking out and thought he was getting out of control. ''So...that was what they call a kiss, huh?'' she spoke softly and shyly, continuing to feel her lips and then lets her arm and hand down. ''It...felt nice and interesting...'' she spoke kindly, tilting her head a little. If it was some other guy, she'd most likely drown them right about now, but it was Hyde...He seemed different from the rest.

[Nicholas Hyde]

Ok, so her reaction to what was clearly her first kiss wasn't indignation, rage, or any brutal slappings. In fact, she seemed to enjoy it, granted in an unusual way as she described how she felt about it, but it was better than flushing the entire evening down the toilet because of a reaction. Hyde let out a small sigh of relief. "Well, glad to hear that." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Again, sorry about that. I've never actually done anything like this before. I mean, I've read about it, but actually experiencing it is a whole different story." He was still flushed, unable to believe he actually did that. He leaned against the side of the boat, taking a deep breath to calm himself down. If Odette wanted to come closer, she was free to do so, though he was ok with giving her some space right now after what he just did.

Still, it did feel good to kiss someone, especially when that someone was her. A small smile appeared on his face.

Odette Delacroix

[Odette Delacroix]

ODette say him move back to his original position. She was somewhat saddened by this and wondered if it had to do with her reaction to the kiss. The people continued to play their violin, the other rowed the boat and her...she kept looking at him, wondering on what to do. 'C-chiwa...I..I don't understand.' she thought confused and somewhat dumbfounded for once in her life. 'Oooo?~ You want my opinion and help?!~' she questioned excitedly and twirled around, flicking some force onto Odette who would fall forward against Hyde. ''I-I'm sorry...'' she stuttered as she would have fell on top of him. Her chest against his, her eye looking straight up at him as she would blush. 'D-dammit Chiwa...' odette stuttered as she would feet her heart beat again, not able to move due to her feeling some shock.

[Nicholas Hyde]

When he got no response from Odette, Hyde was afraid he might really have screwed everything up. He looked over towards Odette, just in time for the girl to suddenly crash into him, knocking him flat on his back with her atop of him. He blinked to clear his vision, only to find Odette's face inches away from his own, her face as pink as his suddenly turned when he realized he had a beautiful woman laying atop of him. "I-It's ok..." Hyde replied, his body frozen from the contact. It took him a couple of minutes to realize that she wasn't making any attempt to get off of him. Well, it did feel nice to have her against him. Hesitating for a moment, he gently wrapped his arms around her, holding her tenderly. "Feeling comfy?" he joked with a small smile, showing her that he wasn't minding her being so close, and trying to defuse the awkwardness of the situation. Help her relax. Though he still wondered just how she managed to fall on top of him. The boat hadn't made any rough movements or anything. Was she approaching him and tripped? No, she didn't seem to be the clumsy type. Well, whatever happened, now he had a French beauty laying atop of him.

Odette Delacroix

[Odette Delacroix]

She would see him look at her, afraid that he might get mad or something. Her heart felt like bursting from being so close to him. He could feel her chest beating fast due to her somewhat revealing dress (braless) going against his own chest. She would instantly to her surprise, his arms wrapping around her, holding her gently. He joked of feeling comfy, but in her situation, she was. ''Y-yes...'' she shyly spoke and kind of moved a little to get more comfortable. ''A-are you okay?'' she asked softly, enjoying this. She would probably be squirming and trying whatever to get out of the embrace, if it wasn't for Chiwa's control of her emotions. She never did well close to guys and now, Chiwa was giving her the ability to handle this and enjoy. Her real hand would rest against his chest, the part she wasn't laying against as the other would rest by his shoulder. Odette's eyes would finally then just look up at the stars that were rather brightly shining.

[Nicholas Hyde]

Hyde gave her a warm smile. It seemed he had managed to help her relax as she got comfortable atop of him. "Oh, just a second," he said, starting to shift his position while still holding Odette in his arms. Managing to get himself in a comfortable position, he settled back, still holding Odette as he followed her gaze upwards to the starry sky above them. All the while, the violinist was still playing. Man the guy was dedicated to his job. "You know," Hyde spoke up, still looking skyward, "When I got that request for a date. I honestly did not expect it to turn out like this." He looked down at her, a tender smile on his face. "And really, I wouldn't have it any other way." Gently, he brought a hand up, brushing a strand of white hair out of her face, giving him a better view of her pretty visage.

Odette Delacroix

[Odette Delacroix]

She heard him speak, to wait a second in which she did. Where was she going to go? She felt him get into a comfortable position as Odette then saw him looking at the sky, like she was earlier. He talked about how he didn't really expect all of this to happen, which was about to make her feels hurt, or at least till he then said that he wouldn't have had it in any other way. She felt him part her hair away from her eye, making her look into his. Her real hand would touch his cheek, getting up a little so they were eye-to-eye and their nose touched, or till the boat stopped. ''Alright, time to go love birds.'' one spoke as she would then leave his grasp, had her face move away from his and stood up. She would slowly get out of the boat as she picked up the bottom of her dress so it wouldn't get cut. She'd stand on the bridge, waiting for Hyde. Odette would then start walking slowly as she then spoke softly, looking up at the sky. ''Where to now, Hyde?'' she questioned, ignoring the boat guys that called them 'love birds'.
