NOAH
I wait and tell myself "life ain't chess,"
Noah had not had a lot of emotional sex in his life. Most of it was out a sense of necessity, thrown into the heat of passion and carnal desire. In his life, Noah had never had a steady significant other. He was often too aloof, too dedicated to his own pursuits of serving the people of Halo. But Delphine was someone Noah would try to cling to. He would try his best to balance what his duties to Halo were and his duties to her. There was something different about her than other women he had been with, something enticing and comforting and good.
He lay with her, breathless and naked, soaking up the aftermath of their encounter. His heart still beat heavily in his chest, and his head was rolled back onto his pillow. He as both exhausted and satisfied, his arm curled around Delphine and his fingers tracing circles on her back. He was content to just lay here with her curled up against him, warm under the covers and safe within his--their--home. Though when she spoke, rousing him from his pleasure and exhaustion induced near-sleep, he did not resent it.
"Yes?" He asked, blue eyes shifting down to meet hazel, face relaxed and happy.
But no one comes in and yes, you're alone...
