Kyoto [Closed]

[Nicholas Hyde]

Hyde gave a quiet nod in reply, looking at the castle before them. He had to admit, people made some pretty damn beautiful buildings in this world. Maybe he should spruce up the Deck a bit after this date...nah, probably nod. The Deck was a military (or rather, para military) base after all. It wouldn't work. He glanced over at Odette, remembering when they first met, how she had helped with the design and the construction of the place. He gave a small smile, remembering that day.

Of course, they couldn't spend the whole day standing around looking at the place. As easy on the eyes as the castle was, simply looking at a castle all day wasn't exactly a choice idea for a date. "So, anything you wish to do now?" he asked, passing the torch of deciding what to do back to her.

she would look around and then looked at Hyde who would be also looking around. She saw him then look towards her, making her smile somewhat. She wondered on if he would be okay with going to something like what she wanted to do. He asked her on where she wanted to go which made her blush somewhat even brighter. ''W-well...I wanted to go to one of those fancy eat, drink and relax in those bathing things...'' she spoke somewhat shyly as she tried to imagine Hyde in a towel and that being it. She then thought of what it would be like with her just being in a towel till she was in the water, turning into nothing. Just read about how today was mix gender day, as genders would share a room. She would look away, waiting for him to pick and choose on rather or not he wanted to do that...or if it was just silly.

Hyde blinked, listening to her request. Eat, drink and relax in a bath? Well, Japan did have those hot springs after all.

Then he started picturing Odette in a hot spring, relaxing in the warm water in very, VERY little clothing. Hyde blushed at the thought. Still, it would be nice to do something like that. Relax and enjoy the warm water with someone you care about. Still blushing, he gave her a warm smile. "Sure, we can do something like that. I'm sure we can find a place around here somewhere." He reached out to take her hand, trying to keep himself calm. Dammit, he had kissed this girl and held her in his arms. He could handle this. Then again, this was kind of a step up from kissing and cuddling. But it was a step up Hyde was willing to take if she was.

She looked at hide a little, tilting her head and then looked forward. Her hand would feel into his as they held hands, feeling his lively pulse. She would make a small smile, walking forward as he agreed to go. 'Didn't think he'd agree...' she thought calmly, but was quite happy. They'd walk up the path up the hill, passing by trees, birds and beautiful flowers. Her pink eye would look around at everything that were within her sight. Her head tilted up as she saw the sign after several moments of a peaceful walk with Hyde. Her heart felt now nervous more than ever as she was then stepping on the wooden steps. She would let go of Hydes hands a bit and walked up to the counter. ''Watashi wa watashi no bōifurendo to issho ni nyūyoku shitai to omoimasu.'' Odette spoke calmly and looked at the woman that was in charge. The woman looked at Hyde and then at Odette. ''Puraibēto matawa paburikku?'' she asked and she giggled. ''Puraibēto kudasai..'' Odette would speak. She would show her ID and then the woman would nod a couple of times. After that she would then grab a pass and then went into the hall way. ''Kochira e dōzo.'' the lady spoke. She would walk to hyde, grabbed his hand and then followed the woman.

They would go into the door that was opened and then be separated so they could change. She would sigh and look up at sunroof of the room. Head then looking down she would grab her towel, undress and then wrap herself. Her long beautiful white hair would sway as she walked out, each curve of her hourglass showed from the wrap of the towel, her chest was half-way shown. Her face blushed as she would see Hyde not there yet. Sighing in relief, Odette would slowly go into the bath and relaxed. Finally she took her towel off, put it on top of her head and let the steam hide her body. She felt embarrassed, but she felt the need to relax.

Hyde mentally kicked himself when he realized that for all his knowledge, he didn't know any Japanese. Or French for that matter! He made a mental toe to study up on the French language. After all, if he was to be in a relationship with her, he should make the effort to learn her native tongue. As he listened to Odette speak to the woman at the counter, he did pick up one word. Bōifurendo. Did she just call him her boyfriend? A small smile appeared on his face. Guess they were official then. Not that Hyde had any problems with that.

Although his glee gave way to nervousness as they were led to the hot spring. They would be by themselves. On one hand, Hyde was glad they weren't sharing the water with any old Japanese men. On the other hand, this would mean he was alone with Odette...in the water...naked...

Ok, keep it cool Hyde. She wouldn't have suggested this if she didn't want to do it. Besides, it's not like she'll take one look at you, freak out and run. She's missing an arm too you know.

As he got undressed though, he glanced at his mechanical arm, where it had been grafted onto him.

Still, she probably makes it look better as well.

He would step out of the changing room, covered only in a towel. He would see Odette already in the water, her towel wrapped around her head. Which meant...no dammit! Play it cool! He couldn't hide the blush though as he approached the water. He had to get in. He hesitated for a moment, bracing himself. Then, as quickly as he could, he pulled off the towel and slid into the water, letting the steam and the water hide his frame. He let out a sigh as the hot water surrounded him, before daring a glance over at Odette. Did she see anything? What did she think?

Odette would slide her back against the waterproof wood that felt glazed and smooth. The air was rather calming, not humid nor was it too hot. She would tilt her head back as her neck rested against the edge. Her eye would close and simply yawned till she heard Hyde get in. Her face felt hot and warm as she imagined Hyde with no clothes. 'No...no...' Odette tried to think as she didn't want to think of a guy naked. 'Yes, YES Odette!~ It's your chance to feel a guys chest for once.' she heard Chiwa spoke and declare. 'No...' Odette would simply respond to her in her thoughts.

Chiwa sighed and just relaxed in the pool as her spirited self. Her eye would open and look towards Hyde. She blushed, stood up and looked away shyly. ''I...I wanted to note that I had to say boyfriend b-because they wouldn't let us in here otherwise.'' she would shyly and softly speak as she would wrap her arms around her chest. She saw how Hyde was on the other side, looking towards her. What was he thinking about? ''H-hyde? Are...y-you uncomfortable to sit by me? Or...am I not worthy to?'' she asked lowly and lowered her gaze. She couldn't wrap her knees close to her face since the water was that deep...so she'd just cover her chest. Although that was true, it's not like you could see anything within the soapy water anyways.

Hyde blinked as she spoke about her referring to him as her boyfriend. Guess she figured he caught that huh? Well, fair enough. The lanky man gave a small nod in understanding. No need to rush things like this afterall. It was only the second date.

Then came the question. Was she not worthy for him to sit beside her? A brief look of panic swept across Hyde's face. "What? No! Of course your worthy enough! I mean, I just didn't want you to feel uncomfortable, that's all." He blushed brightly. While they had gotten comfortable enough for kissing and all that, and despite the fact that water hid their bodies from view, there was still no denying the fact that both of them were completely naked! But seeing that sad look on her face was just heartbreaking. Slowly, Hyde made his way over towards her, sitting himself down beside her and gently draping an arm, his real arm, over her shoulder in a comforting gesture. "I could never be uncomfortable around you. It's just, well, this really is a new experience, I think for the both of us."

Odette would look up at him as he seemed to have a somewhat panic reaction to her question. 'Don't give him a heart attack now.~' Chiwa teased and floated within the air. She could hear the water move a little and the small movements of Hyde walking towards her. He would sit by her, wrap his arms around her shoulder and spoke about never being uncomfortable around her. Her heart would beat fast as she felt his skin against her own naked skin. Her face felt hot, head tilting to be against his as her body uncontrollably turned to where his arm was between her chest as her stomach was against his sides, cuddling against him. It felt right, it felt like...Chiwa was doing her shenanigans again...''H-hyde...I'm sorry if...I'm doing this too fast for you...It's just...it feels nice for some reason.'' she spoke softly, taking Chiwa's blame in most of it, but she didn't lie...it felt nice within her cold heart.

[Nicholas Hyde]

Hyde's blush darkened as she shifted her body, pressing herself up against him as she apologized for moving things too fast. Hyde gently shook his head. "It's ok, really. I'm glad it feels comfortable for you." he gave her a smile as he held her gently, "It feels nice holding you too." He shifted his body, allowing her to get more comfortable against him as he blushed, feeling her naked body against him. More importantly, his arm was pressed firmly against her chest!

Don't think about her boobs. Don't think about her boobs. Don't think about her boobs.

He turned to look down at her face, looking into her pink eye as he gave her a warm smile. "I hope the water's fine for you."

Odette would look at hyde as her hands then slide onto his naked chest, feeling it. 'O-oh god...' she thought as her eye looked away, feeling her heart rapidly beat from this experience. She tried to contain herself, keep away Chiwa from doing things that would ruin her and so on. Before anything else though, she would hear the door open. ''Your dinner and drinks are ready.'' a woman spoke quite good English as she bowed and then walked away. People came in and set down a feast pretty much with a lot of sake'. Slowly she would move away from Hydes embrace, grabbed her towel and quickly covered herself as she would get up. After getting up, she would walk towards the other side and sat back down after removing the towel. Her chest went against the waterproof wooden wall within the bath pool as Hyde would see her naked back and sidings of her breast. ''Hyde.~ It smells wonderful.'' she spoke happily as they would then leave. She picked her chop sticks and waited for hyde, before doing anymore.

[Nicholas Hyde]

When the door opened, Hyde almost jumped in surprise, ready to declare that nothing untoward was happening. Thankfully, the people bringing in their meal didn't say anything. Guess they were used to this sort of thing, working in a place like this. As they set the meal and Odette rose from the water, Hyde quickly closed his eye to give her some privacy, only daring to open them again once she was back in the water. Though that didn't stop him from catching a glimpse of some side boob. He tried to hide the blush, instead enjoying the sound of her happily admiring the food as he slowly made his way over to her. Thankfully, all he had to hide was firmly in the water.

"Mmmm, it is good," he said, breathing in deeply and smelling the food. He reached for a set of chopsticks and reached for an appetizing piece of chicken.

She cornered her eyes to look at Hyde who was creeping up to be right next to her. She would shyly smile and looked forward at the food. She would go for the beef chicken with Hyde and then for the noodles and then finally the shrimp fried rice. She would slowly eat in front of him as she would enjoy the savoring taste. As a french woman, she loved chinese food, but not French food...being an odd one to most. She didn't know why, but the tastes of food from other countries were just wonderful to her. ''Mhmmm.'' she would make the sound, nodding as she ate a little more normal, trying to be more comfortable around him. She would slowly scoot next to him as she could feel the warmth of his skin against her sides as they would be on their knees, eating this wonderful feast. Odette would then eye some sake, slowly going for it and then opened it. Her eye then saw the cup and poured some for herself and then a cup for him, just in case he wanted any. Finally she'd slowly drink her sake as they would enjoy each others company.

[Nicholas Hyde]

Hyde let out a small series of delighted sounds as he sampled the Japanese cuisine. Japanese and Chinese food were always a pleasure to eat, and here, eating it while relaxing in a hot spring with a very beautiful woman, well, it was these moments that made life worth living. And judging by Odette coming up next to him as they ate, she seemed to agree.

When she reached for the sake and poured them a couple of glasses, he gave her a warm smile, giving a nod of thanks as he accepted his own. "Well, here's to us," he said with a smile, taking a gulp of the rice wine along with her. Being a functioning alcoholic had its perks, like being able to enjoy fine booze, AND remember the fun times afterwards.

Odette would drink her sake with her good friend Hyde. She would make a small smile and started to drink one after another as she ate her food. It tasted well, amazing and soon after a bottle was gone...she felt weird. A warm feeling, unbalanced body and her mind second thought of things. She would continue to nom on the food that was in front of her. Taking a small breather from all of the eating and drinking, she would look over towards Hyde. She smally smiled, feeling rather weird, but in an interesting way as she never really felt like this before. 'You should ask him stuff! Drunk people are funny during question times.~' Chiwa would speak to her. Odette would wonder if she should as she was curious about males and some other things she never got to experience. ''So...d-do you mind answering things?'' she'd ask rather soothingly and soft, easily being told that she was kind of drunk.

[Nicholas Hyde]

Hyde was quiet as the two of them enjoyed their meal together. This was nice. Good food. Good sake, good company. He was even getting comfortable about the fact that they were in a hot spring together. When Odette then spoke up, Hyde glanced over at her, curious. Answer some things? Like what? There was also something about her eye. Something about the tone in her voice.

Oh dear...

Hyde sometimes forgot that others got drunk off of this stuff, not to mention some people were lightweights, and no doubt Odette was one of them. Still, what she said was innocent enough. He just had to be careful while she was in this state. "Erm, sure. Ask away."
