Elements of the Heart (Red and Gemma)

She is quiet and we eat dinner in silence. I can't remember a time that we were this quiet. That things were this awkward between us. I eat quickly more or less just shoving it down to be done and go to bed.
She whispers if I am her brother still. I set down my fork not sure what to say right now. I sigh and rub my face before I look at her.
"I can't be your brother like that anymore, Mari. I love you and no matter how hard I try to push that down, it's not going to change." I tell her.

I looked back at him when he tells me that he can't view me as a sister anymore. My chest tightens a little and i looked down at my plate. He told me that he loved me and i just try to not cry right now.
Doesn't he get it? I can't love like that. I can't offer him anything other than what i have right now. What's left of me is this scared fragile girl that only believes that is cursed. That's it.
"Okay." I whispered not sure what to say.

She looks down at her plate looking like she was going to cry. She whispers okay after a few minutes and I still there silent. What else could I say. I love her and I would do anything from her, but she wants me as nothing more then a brother.
Thanks for the food, Mari. It was good." I say picking up my finished plate, leaving it in the sink for tonight. "I'll go grab some stuff for you to crash on the couch." I tell her.
My heart hurt like it was being squeezed hard by an invisible hand. She would never love me back and our years of friendship, only being able to rely on each other was falling apart.

I see him walk away to put the food away and to tell me that he was going to bring some blankets for me to sleep with on the couch. I did everything in my power to not cry at this very moment. It felt like our entire lives were falling apart.
It's like the bond we built together this past decade was literally going up in flames and there's nothing we could do....
I love you too...
I looked at my plate and just pushed it away and went to go clena the dishes so i didn't leave anything dirty.

I come back out with some sheets, blankets and pillows so she can try to have a comfortable night of sleep on my crappy couch. I notice she had done the dishes and sigh a little, shaking my head.
"You didn't have to do that. I would have gotten around to them tomorrow." I say and set the stuff on the couch. "Hopefully this will help make a night on the couch a little more comfortable. If it too uncomfortable then just tell me and we can swap."

I looked back at him when he tells me there was no need to do it since he was going to come around in doing it himself. It was the little things i could do for him. To show him... that i'm trying here. Trying to save whatever we both created together.
"It's fine, I'm leaving tomorrow morning there's no need to leave a mess before i go." I whispered to him and helped him set up the couch for me.
"Thank you, for you hospitality"

She tells me there was no need to leave a mess since she is leaving in the morning. I nod a little and she comes over to help me set up the couch for her. I do my best to try and make it decent enough for her to get some sleep on.
She thanks me for my hospitality. "It is no problem, Mari. Like I said I didn't want you out there this late." I tell her with a little smile and then sigh mumbling to myself. "Wouldn't be able to sleep if I didn't know you were safe."

Mariana
I looked back at him and just nodded my head when he tells me that he wouldn't be able to sleep not knowing if i was safe or not. I didn't say anything before i took off my sweater and just sat down on the couch.
"Well it makes me wonder how you've been sleeping all this time." I whispered to him

John
She nods a little and is quiet as she strips off her sweater and stills down. She whispers that it makes her wonder how I've been sleeping all this time.
"Not well, can't you tell from the bags under my eyes." I tell her with a little chuckle and sigh. "Good night, Mari." I whisper and lean down to kiss her forehead.

Mariana
I looked over at him when he tells me that he hasn't been sleeping well. That couldn't i tell with the bags that are under his eyes. i couldn't believe that i didn't noticed it.
He leans in to kiss my forehead when i reached over and cupped his kind of rough cheek, He hadn't been shaving either. I just look at his eyes and just let out a sigh... "Why... you need rest."

John
She reaches up to cup my scruffy cheek and looks me in the eyes as she sighs. She says why and I need to rest. I sigh and rest my forehead against hers. "Because I worry about you all alone in the cabin without me. I want to be there but I have to finish things here first." I tell her.


Mariana
I have this urge to be closer to him. To just do something that might just literally put me on blast on how I really feel for him. He’s the one that has given me so much love and tranquility. I didn’t want to lose that. I don’t want to lose him and yet I have this weird feeling that something is not right.
“Will you ever tell me what’s going on?” I whisper to him. At least I don’t want him to lie to me.

John
She whispers as she looks at me and asks if I will ever tell her what is going on. I sigh and look at her meeting her eyes. "Maybe one day but right now it is better for you not to know anything." I whisper softly.
I hated keeping things from her but I didn't want her to get tangled up in this is things went south. I had to make sure that things finished up here so I could come home without the worry that someone would come after me.

Mariana
I nod my head being okay with that at least. I stay close to him for a little while longer before I’m the one that I had to pull away. I combed my hair behind my ears before I took a seat on the couch.
“Well we both better get some shut eye then.” I whispered to him just taking my shoes off and laying down on the couch before I just looked at him. Times like these wed sleep together... but I guess that all changed after the proposal

She nods her head a little and we stay together like that for a few more moments before she pulls away and combs her hair behind her ears. She tells me we both better get some shut eye. She gets ready to go to bed and I make sure she is settled.
"Good night, Mari." I whisper and head over to my room to go to bed. I hated having this distance between us when all I wanted to do is hold her close. But after her rejection to my proposal I couldn't bring myself to being close to her like that when she didn't feel the same.
I strip down to my boxers and flop on my bed with a sigh, turning out the light before I try to get some sleep.

I stayed up a little while longer. Just looking up at the ceiling when my heart just started thumping hard against my chest. My soul belonged next to him and yet this is the greatest distance we’ve ever come across. We usually make it...
I get up from the couch and went to the window. I opened it and just sat on the ledge just getting a deep fresh air. I needed a breather right now.

I find it hard to sleep even when she is right here with me. I guess it is because she is not where I want her to be, in my arms. I feel a draft and get up to see her sitting on the window ledge. I take not to think about how beautiful she looked as the pale moonlight shines on her through the open window.
"You'll catch a cold like that." I whisper to her softly.

I looked back when I hear his voice and I give him a little smile. Come rain or shine he still takes care of me when I do this. “Mmm well I don’t think it would be that bad if I got sick. You’d be doting on me.” I whispered to him before I just breathed in the night air a little bit.
“That’s why I like the cabin. The woods have this crisp refreshing night air and the city is beautiful but quite toxic.”

She looks back at me and gives me a little smile. She whispers that well she doesn't think that would be so bad because then I would be doting on her. She breathes in the night air and adds that she likes the cabin because the woods have this crisp refreshing night air and the city is beautiful but quite toxic.
"It would be. You know I hate it when you get sick. It makes me worry about you." I whisper and wrap my arms around her middle as I rest my chin on her shoulder. "I miss the cabin too." I admit.
I wanted to go back but I needed to finish things with icyn here and get those detectives off my back.

I looked back at him and I felt my fluttering heart settle down when he wrapped his arms around me and was close to me. This is how we’re suppose to be. No distance between us just raw vulnerability between each other. He admits that he misses the cabin but I guess whatever has him here has to be important.
“Yeah.. but I’ll wait for you to come home. Just don’t keep me in silence for long periods of time okay?” I pleaded with him when all of a sudden I hear a knock on the door.
“Johnny boy open up. It’s your favorite trickster.” The man days from the other side of the door and I’m a bit puzzled so he’s made friends here?

She looks back at me and tells me she'll wait for me to come home but just to not keep her in the dark for long periods of time. "I won't, promise." I whisper softly and freeze as I hear someone knock on the door.
I curse a little under my breath and let go of Mari. "Go sit in my room and close the door. Don't come out unless I tell you too, okay." I tell her moving her towards my room before I head to the door.

I feel soothed when he tells me he won’t leave me in the dark. I look back at him when he tells me to go to his room. I guess he doesn’t want me to meet his friends or anything. I let him take me to his room but before he pulls away I pull him towards me and give him a kiss on his cheek.
“Just slip in the bed when you’re done with your friend okay.” I whispered to him and let him walk away. He closed the door and I stop hearing the knocking before I climb in the bed.

I nod as she kisses my cheek and tells me to just slip into bed when I am done with my friend. She heads into my room and I sigh making sure the door is closed before I strip the couch real quick so it wouldn't look like anyone was sleeping on it.
I head over and open up the door. "What do you want? It's late and I am trying to sleep." I grumble at him.

(Lol same kaname picture!!)
I grinned when he opens up the door and he hides the fact that someone was in here. I take a sniff of the air and grin. Oh a water elemental now that could be fun. But I just stay with dealer act.
“Oh please you never sleep Johnny boy. So icyn is really hiting big man. Rich kids are loving it and of course they desire it.”

I frown seeing him grin and tells me that I never sleep. He adds that icyn is really hitting big out there and the rich kids love it. So course they want more. I roll my eyes and glare at him a little.
"If you are looking for. Another batch won't be done until tomorrow probably around noon if things go right." I tell him.

I smiled stepping around the place. When he tells me that he’ll have the next batch ready by tomorrow. I grinned and just looked around taking a real whiff of the girls powers and I smiled.
“You sure about that Johnny boy. I really hope that there’s nothing that changes your mind in creating this kingdom. Your kingdom.” I said looking back at him

I narrow my eyes at him as he says am I sure about that he really hopes there is nothing that changes my mind about creating this kingdom, my kingdom.
"I told you up front I didn't want a kingdom. I want to make a lot of money fast and get out of this hellhole town." I tell him in an icy tone. "It has always been about the money. You are get your cut, I get mine. When I have enough I'm gone. I'm not sticking around when those cops are sniffing in my direction."

I can see that his ego is swelling and I didn’t mind playing the beta for now. I see him just unravel when he starts talking about moving away from the hellhole. I take out my cigarette and light it up in front of him.
“Oh please Johnny boy, kings are made when times are rough. Don’t forget who helped you out of your hell petty hole when your heart was smashed. If you want to make enough money to get away from her than fine. But I want you to reconsider, you’re becoming great and what the police have is circumstantial they’ll need a warrant to even get the dna of your ice.” I said stepping to the window and smiled.

"I'm not looking to become great. I just want my money and to get the hell out of dodge while I still can. They brought on some damn new detectives. A shadow user and I don't even know what the hell the other one is but she senses stuff that normal elementals can't." I tell him seriously as he goes over to the window, smoking his cigarette.
"I'm not risking a chance of them figuring it out that it is me whipping this shit up." I tell him.

I looked back at him and smiled. “Oh yeah the avatar girl. She’s interesting. But look if you’re so worried about them finding out about your past. There’s always the option of becoming a ghost. No past no strings attached to yourself.” I said to him when I looked at the door and grinned.
“You only have one string attached to you Johnny boy. Maybe it’s time to cut the string.” I tell him just smoking my cig

He looks back at me and smiles making a comment about the girl. He adds if I am so worried about them finding out my past then just become a ghost. No past, no strings attached to myself. He glances at my bedroom door and grins sickly saying I only have one string attached to me. That maybe it is time to cut the string.
"Don't even fucking suggest that." I growl my eyes glowing a little. I could never... Mari is everything to me. The one ray of light in my ever dark world. Without her I would be lost.
"I want this to be fucking done so I can pack up and get the hell out of here. Do you understand me. If they start getting any closer to me then I am pulling the plug and running." I tell him dead serious.

I think it’s cute that he buffs up and has his element take control of his anatomy for a bit. It’s like he thinks he has an option right now. But I don’t say anything when I just raise my hands up and I looked back at the door and smiled.
“Alright alright I won’t bring it up again. Now let’s just calm down and we’ll revisit your early retirement later?” I asked him and just smiled when I walked out to the door.
“Why don’t you introduce me to Mariana?” I asked

He raises his hands in surrender and smiles as he says he won't bring it up again. He adds let's just calm down and we’ll revisit my early retirement later.
"We'll see." I say as I calm down a bit and he asks about introducing him to Mari. "No." I say with a bit of snarl.
"She is not a part of this and I don't want her involved with what is going on." I add with a growl. "You hear me, Crow. She stays out of this."

I raise my hands and just give him a playful smile. “Alright alright. Just thought since she said no to you maybe it’s time for her to meet other men. Men that might be much more appealing to her.” I tell him in an innocent sing song tone.
I walked back to the entrance door and looked back at John. “So again I’ll be around by noon and we’ll talk a little more about your predicament with the police. And maybe by then I’ll be able to meet Mariana in a friendly way of course.”

He raises his hands in surrender again and tells me he just figured since she turned me down that maybe it was time for her to meet other guys. I growl a little until my breath at his tone and he heads back to the front door. He tells me he'll be back tomorrow at noon and we can talk more about the cops.
"Not a chance in hell, Crow." I tell him as he adds maybe he can meet Mariana in a friendly way then. I close the door behind him and lock everything up before I head over to my room.
I climb into bed and wrap Mari up in my arms, burying my face in her neck. I needed a moment to compose myself. To calm down. Crow would not lay a hand on her unless he has a death wish. Even if she told me no. She was still mine. I wouldn't hand her over to anyone unless I approved.

I smelled his scent in the sheets and somehow that calmed me down a little bit. Enough to slip me into a momentary phase of sleep. I don’t know how long I was asleep until I feel arms around me. I groan a little bit but I wake up enough to look back over my shoulder and see that it was John
“Is everything okay?” I asked him a little bit when I tried to open up my eyes and look at the time. It was around 2 am in the morning

She groans a little and sleepily looks back at me, asking if everything was okay. "It's fine, Mari. Just go back to sleep." I whisper, kissing her head as I snuggle her to me close. I hold her close to me as I relax a little, knowing she was safe in my arms.
For tonight I needed this. Just to know she was safe here with me. Tomorrow I would get her out of here as quickly as I can and sent back to the cabin before Crow comes. Like I said I didn't want her involved in this and I had a sneaking suspicion that Crow might use her against me since he clearly knows she is my weakness.

I could sense that something was wrong. He felt a little off almost scared if I didn’t know any better. I lightly run my hands along his arms and even if he’s telling me to go to sleep. It’s hard to do when I feel him like this.
I turn a little so that I’m facing him. He has his eyes closed and his breath is a little uneven. Could it be about the man that cane for him? I ran my fingers through his almost white hair. Until my hands are lightly cupping his cheek. I wanted us back... whatever he was facing I wanted us to do go through it together. Every tragedy we faced drew us closer to one another. I leaned in and lightly kissed his lips.

I feel her turn and her fingers past through my hair. She lightly cups my cheek and suddenly I feel her lips brush mine. I debate for a moment weather or not to keep pretending I was asleep or to kiss her back.
I think screw it and kiss her back softly. My hand reaching up to tangle in her blond hair as I cup the back of her head.

I am slightly taken back but I don’t pull away. Not thinking about my curse but how right this felt. I gasped for breath and just placed my hands on his chest. Kissing him back when our lips mold together perfectly.
Everything just made sense and somehow a little reminiscent of this kiss. Like we’ve kissed before like this. With carnal desire instead of sibling touch. We aren’t siblings... not by blood.

She gasps softly her air as her hands rest on my chest and she kisses me back. Our lips molding together as we kiss each other desperately. I couldn't remember the last time I could savor her like this.
My free hand drifts down her back to rest on the small of it as I press her closer to me. I didn't care if she pushed me away kicking and scaring after wards. Cursing me up and down for kissing her back because right now things were perfect.

I couldn’t find my will to stop right now. All of surprised emotions about John were just flooding out like a broken damp in a river. I just couldn’t stop I’ve loved him for so long and this spark between us was hard to lie about.
I nipped at his lips when his hands were at the small of my back. For tonight I want to love him the way I shouldn’t be living him. I’ll let him feel what’s in my heart. I pulled away from his lips and started kissing down his jawline. Nipping and kissing at his neck while my hands ran under his shirt.

I groan a little as she starts to kiss down my jawline, nipping and kissing at my neck. Her hands running up under my shirt. My fingers run through her hair as my other hand slips under the back of her shirt.
This is what I wish we could be like. Just us together. I wish she would have said yes to my proposal.

It’s like our bodies were yearning for one another. These two weeks away from him were hell on earth. And right now it’s like I can’t hold back what I desire. After seeing him today. After everything I just didn’t want to deny it.
I lightly tug his shirt up and over his head before I tossed it to the side. I kissed his Adam’s apple softly before I pulled away to look into his eyes. My free hand cupping his cheek lightly before I lightly kissed his lips. “I love you.” I whispered to him

She lightly tugs at my shirt and I sit up a little as she pulls it over my head and tosses it to the side. She kisses my adam's apple and pulls away to look me in the eyes. Her free hand cupping my cheek as she kisses me softly. She whispers she loves me and I groan a little under my breath.
"I love you too, Mari. So damn much." I whisper kissing her deeply. My hands slips under her shirt a little more to run my hands along her skin.

I groaned again when he kissed me again. It felt like he just sighed in relief when he confessed his love to me again. I moan against his lips. His touch feeling magnetic to my heart and body. Just pulling towards him like this attraction. Our lips mold together again and our tongues collide.
I felt this want and need for him grow unbearably. I moaned against his lips when I just pulled away and stripped my shirt off forgetting that I didn’t put on... a bra. I was in a hurry to get here and it’s not like I’m well endowed so it didn’t seem like a big deal

She groans against my lips and kisses me back before she moans. I kiss her back and soon she is pulling away, stripping off her shirt. I look at her stunned seeing her bare chest. I sit up a little and press my lips to her chest.
"Damn, you are so beautiful Mari." I whisper against her skin. My fingers exploring her soft warm skin.
I looked back at him and i just didn't know what to say. We never fought or had this weird moment between us. It was nothing like that and yet... I sat on the chair and just bit down on the food.
It's like i lost the flavor in my taste buds. The world was turning gray and it was all because of him... because i felt like i was losing him and in some weird way... is that was for the best...
"Are you my brother still?" I whispered to him
