Blind Match [Closed]

[Nicholas Hyde]

A blush crossed Hyde's face as she gently brought her hand to his cheek. On one hand, he was still nervous about all this, but he was glad she was starting to relax. His heart pounded as their faces grew close.

And then the boat operator interrupted them, telling the ride was over. Hyde gave a small, audible growl in the man's direction as Odette pulled away. Way to ruin a moment guy! He got to his feet, following her onto the dock and standing by her side as she asked where to go now. He pondered. He hadn't thought that far ahead. But thankfully, something drew his eye. The crown jewel of Paris itself. The Eiffel Tower. "I think a nice view above the city is in order, wouldn't you say?" he said, gently taking her hand, feeling a bit more comfortable after their little stargazing moment. Hand in hand, he would gently lead her towards the tower.

Odette would wait, standing in her rather beautiful red satin dress. Her eye would look towards him as she would then see him go towards her and grab her hand gently. He spoke of the tower in which honestly...she never has been up there besides once with her sister as she chatted her head off about power. She nodded as she followed within his lead. They would walk through the streets and then to the stairs of the tower. ''Here we go then.'' she would speak quietly to herself, but outloud. Slowly she would walk up the stairs with him as if they were walking up towards an unknown path as to what this would bring between them. She has heard stories about what people have done up here...from killing someone all the way to things that were too sexual for her to think. Step by step, Odette would then let go of his hand and ran up the stairs as they were closer. After being at the end of the stairs, she would wait for him to be beside her and then lead her to whatever what was next. Her heart was beating anxiously in curiosity on what he had planned.

It didn't take them long to approach the tower, and surprisingly enough the place was kind of empty. Guess it was just late. As they made their way up the stairs of the tower, Hyde was beginning to think they should have found an elevator. Hyde was used to walking long distances, but what about Odette? Poor girl's feet must be killing her.

And then she proved him wrong by running the rest of the way up. Caught by surprise, Hyde broke out in a run after her, his long stride serving him none on the stairs as she beat him to the top. At least he wasn't out of breath. And neither seemed she as she was waiting for him. Gently taking her hand, he walked her over to the railing, giving them a wonderful view of the city of love below, a blanket of light.

As they stood there, watching the view. Hyde would gently drape his arm over her shoulders, pulling her close. "Top of the world," he murmured to himself with a small chuckle.

Odette would wait for him as she got to the top of the tower first. Her body felt tired at first due to all the running up, but then she could feel his hand gently escorting her to the railing of the tower. Everything was small, besides the family business tower. 'Of course it's about taller than the tower...' she would think as she then felt arms over her shoulders, pulling her close. A small instant blush would appear on her face as she would feel his chest against her back. Her head would be somewhat against his chest as well, due to their height difference. She would let the cool wind swarm around them, her heart beating now calmly, although still somewhat nervous. She heard him murmur something, making her giggle a tiny bit and looked forward. ''Hyde...I wish to know...What is your heart wanting? What is your brain thinking? Are they agreeing? Arguing? Mine...mine doesn't know what to do...I'm confused. Sadly, out of all the logic I know, this is the one thing I don't know.'' she would say softly as her chest was in pain rather it be a good thing or bad, it was new to her. She wanted to know how he felt, what he was thinking as he was a logical man...Odette would accept his words, no matter what they were...unless it surrounded her self-worth..which was none.

As they stood there, looking out over the city of Paris, Odette would begin to speak,asking him what his mind and heart were saying. To be honest, his heart had actually calmed down, growing comfortable with the situation and growing to enjoy this. His mind on the other hand was still having a hard time grasping all this.

"This is all new to me as well. Despite everything I've done in my life, I've never actually been on a date, or been with a woman." He blushed at the little confession, looking down at the beautiful Odette. "My mind's still reeling from all of this, scrambling to figure out what to do. But my heart? I think my heart's actually figured out what it's doing, even if my brain hasn't." He gave a rueful chuckle, "Though I guess it shouldn't be anything new. I always jump into things before my brain fully grasps it."

He gently turned her head so he could looking into her eye, a warm, tender smile on his face. "Maybe, maybe we should just put out minds in the back seat and let our hearts do the steering. They seem to know what they're doing,"

Odette looked at the sky, the stars and the view of all Paris. She listened to his words as she swore she saw some blushing when she peaked up. He was saying that this was all new to him, even though he has done a lot in his life. After he was done speaking, she would chuckle softly as she looked up into his eye, smiling back. ''Perhaps, yes...'' she started softly and then looked down. ''Even though I act rather cold, cruel and even fearless in battle and probably around everyone else...I'm different around you, I feel different around you...'' she started to explain as she didn't quite understand herself. Her heart was hurting and then she turned around so her back as against the railing, looking up at him with a smile. ''Even out of all I know...When I see you, I feel like I know nothing...'' she would claim as she then lowered her gaze...confused.

[Nicholas Hyde]

Hyde listened quietly to her arms, watching as she turned to look at him with that beautiful smile of hers. So, she was different around him huge. He felt the same way. With most people he would be dropping snarky comments and insults left right and center. With Odette, it was different. He had nothing but respect to the white haired beauty in front of him. With a warm smile, he brought his real hand up to her cheek. "a well, guess this is a learning experience for both of us then," he said, before slowly leaning in, his lips gently pressing against hers. And this time, he didn't pull away. At least, not unless he got a sign from her that she was uncomfortable. But something told him that wouldn't be the case.

[Odette Delacroix]

She looked at him, wondering on the possibilities between them. Odette could still feel his arms around her, even with her turning away. A small chuckle would escape her lips again as she would hear him speak of how this was a learning experience for both of them. Nodding simply she would then see him leaning forward, their lips softly and slowly going against her own. 'Oooo lala.~ I shall disappear for this.~' Chiwa teased as she would then hear complete silence, for once. Her heart beated faster, her body respond on its own as they wrapped around his neck. She would tippy-toed for better reach. The kiss would turn from short to a longer and passionate kiss as she enjoyed this beautiful night with someone she felt totally different. Odette couldn't move as her body stayed and her lips stayed upon his.

[Nicholas Hyde]

Hyde's heart raced as the two of them kissed, the contact drawing out longer and longer as Odette wrapped her arms around him, reaching up on her toes to get closer, a sort of passion seemingly awakening inside of her. Hyde didn't know just how long the kiss lasted for, and quite frankly didn't care. Eventually though, their lips out part, but only a little bit, remaining only a few inches away from eachother as Hyde would slowly open his eye, looking into her own. The whole world seemed to vanish, leaving just the two of them. A gentle wind tugged at their hair, barely reminding him how high up they were, with Odette's back against the railing. A small smile spread on his lips as he gazed into that beautiful pink eye of hers. "So...what's your heart telling you now?"

Odette Delacroix

[Odette Delacroix]

The kiss would last, her heart would beat like horses galloping throughout the grassy fields. She would feel breathless for some reason as he departs his own lips from hers a couple inches away. He asked with a small smile on what her heart was saying to her now. She didn't really know on what her heart was saying to her. It was confused as much as her brain, but her body on the other hand would be in some kind of hypnotic control. She was guessing that it was her confused heart that was controlling her body. She had to think of words, words to speak and describe, to answer his question. ''M-my heart?'' she questioned herself and then looked into his eyes, really thought for a second and then opened her lipis a little to speak. ''I...I don't know...besides...like..call me crazy, but it's as if I don't wanna let you go.'' she speaks and then faces away, blushing.

[Nicholas Hyde]

As Odette gave her response, turning her head away shyly, Hyde smile, gently pulling the girl close to him, letting her rest her head against his chest as he stroked her hair softly. "Well, I'm certainly not going to make you let go," he chuckled, wanting to put her at ease. He let out a soft sigh. The woman was warm, and it felt good to hold her in his arms. He glanced out over the city beneath him, shifting his body to shelter Odette from the breeze. He gently rested his cheek against her head, closing his eye and allowing himself to enjoy this moment. It would have to end eventually, especially since he would have to escort Odette home, but for now. For now there was only them, and Hyde was perfectly ok with that.

Odette could feel his heart beat as her head was again st his chest. It felt nice and rather relaxing to feel, to hear someone elses heart beat that wasn't her own. She would enjoy this simple embarrass for the small time they had left. It felt hurt that she would have to let him go, but perhaps this was just a starting of what could end up as an 'always'. She knew how some relationships work and most took some time as some other relationships, took a long time. She would look up with a small smile that would be somewhat grim. ''I guess it's time for us to go home?'' she questioned as she would stay within his grasp. It felt secure, comforting and she honestly didn't want to leave his arms for sure. Odette wasn't sure though on where they would go next, as in their friendship/relationship. She would leave that up to him on asking, rather it be now or later.

[Nicholas Hyde]

Hyde would give a small sigh and a nod. It was getting late, and he was sure Odette's family wouldn't appreciate her being gone all night with a stranger. "I believe it's only right that I should escort you home," he said with a smile, releasing her before offering his arm to her, the two of them beginning their descend down the Eiffel Tower and making their way towards Odette's home. As they walked, Hyde would give her a warm smile. "So, where shall we go for next time?" He pulled out his digivice, "With these babies we can go wherever you like. London, America, China, Africa, Australia, all entirely up to you. And you won't be traveling alone." He remember what she had said about her being lonely. Well, that won't be the case anymore.

Odette Delacroix

[Odette Delacroix]

She chuckled softly and quietly as she would hear him talk about how their digivice could help them travel. Not only that, he would be traveling with her. She wasn't so sure if that was him asking her out or just being generous, so she'll see it as the latter. Odette wasn't so sure on where she would want to go next, but some places did sound good and better compared to some other places. She would think on the way to her place, rather he offered his hand to her (her taking it) or not, she would walk down the stairs. It was quiet for some moments as they went down and to the bottom of the tower. ''You know...Japan would be nice next time.'' she would say calmly, walking on the path to her building. It was nice and quiet, great to enjoy her time with hyde...or at least till she was dropped off at home where she'd be alone once more.

[Nicholas Hyde]

"Japan you say? Very well then. Our next date shall be in Japan then," Hyde smiled, "I'll start looking up some good places for us to visit. May as well take in the sites as well as spend time together." As the two walked along the quiet Paris street toward her home, Hyde's mind once again picked up speed on what will happen. He had often seen on tv and such how some dates ended, with the guy being invited in for 'coffee'. Would that be one of those times?

Don't be stupid. She's a lady of class. Besides, wasn't the rule you never do that on the first date?

They would eventually arrive at her home. Hyde turned to her, looking at her with warm, caring eyes (well, eye in this case). "I had a really good time," he said with a warm smile, "I can't wait for next time,"
