She did pull away from him slightly, only to shift so that she was loosely straddling him to make it more comfortable. One hand lifted to tangle loosely in his hair, her lips pressed intently to his. There was no reason for him to be afraid, she was perfectly fine staying right there forever.

Sadly, Fate had other ideas.

“You absolute fucking dumbass.” A voice called grumpily, as the door swung open. The owner of the voice stopped it just before it hit the door, as he stepped into the room. Yusha Shou, Osora’s ex and the son of one of the most influential couples in Tokyo, was standing in her room. And he had only just noticed she wasn’t alone. “Holy fuck. Reeha wasn’t kidding.”

His entire body language relaxed at her touch. Her fingers sent tingles running down his spine and cast a hum from his throat.

Tali started at the voice, immediately breaking the kiss. His face went cherry red at being caught by someone Osora knew well. “Ah… you have a visitor, Osora.” He mumbled, burying his face in her neck shyly.

@croccin-champagne

Osora didn’t seem to embarrassed, instead lifting he head to raise an eyebrow at Shou. “There’s a thing called knocking, Yusha.”

Shou gasped dramatically, placing a hand over his heart. He was wearing the remnants of a suit, blazer gone and tie undone, an old leather jacket thrown on over it. “We’re reverting back to common names now, Tokino? I feel so jilted. Who’s the guy? Do we know him? Reeha said he was new, but I don’t trust a single word that woman says ever.”

Tali chuckled lightly at their exchange, slowly releasing Osora and lifting his head. “Tali. My name is Tali.” He rumbled, offering a dorky grin to the other male. “And I am rather new to this whole thing.”

@croccin-champagne

Osora didn't release Tali, perfectly fine with holding onto him like that still. And funny enough, Shou didn't even seem to care. "Name's Yusha." He greeted in return, tilting his head with a wink. "Like the multi-billion dollar company, yes, before you ask. So you are new. Does that mean-"

"He does know, yeah. Kind of hard to keep it a secret when I'm climbing through my window covered in blood." Osora said, answering his question before he'd even finished it. "Tali, this is the Shou I was on the phone with. He's an asshole, and another one of my friends."

Tali chuckled lightly, leaning his head against Osora’s lightly. “Mm, think I’ve met a few working under that name.” Slept with a few too…

“It’s a pleasure to meet you Shou.” Tali lowered his head and paused, wrapping his arms back around the female in his lap. He bit his lip, suddenly self-conscious. “Are you also not exactly human?”

@croccin-champagne

Osora and Shou exchanged a look, one black and one yellow eye meeting red, before Osora tilted her head. "Is Powerdrill with you? There's sugar water in the bottle on my desk."

"She doesn't let me go anywhere without her, you know that." Shou said, making a shooing motion at something near his head. "To answer your question, yeah, I guess. We all are, you know. All five of us." A small honey bee buzzed over, landing happily on Osora's nose and settling there.

@Toxic_Persephone group

Tali tilted his head, confused for a moment. Powerdrill? He let his eyes wander around the room for a moment, arms tightening around Osora.

“Ah that’s good to know. How many of us are there out there?” He asked gently, watching the honey bee with a small smile. “Cute.”

@croccin-champagne

"We don't know. All we know is, we managed to find a few of them right here in Tokyo." Shou said, shrugging a shoulder as he unbuttoned a couple of the buttons of his shirt, grumbling for a moment about not being able to breathe. "That's the five of the Surutameni, you, Mr. Yamamoto, and…the League of Evil. We're not sure how many of them there are, but there's enough to match us."

"Assholes." Osora muttered, one arm releasing Tali so that she could gently scoop the bee off her nose. "How you doing, honey?" She murmured to the bee, lips twitching slightly with the ghost of a soft smile. "The League of Evil are basically our counterparts. At least, in terms of how they use their abilities. Have you heard any news about Wildfire?"

Tali puffed out his cheeks as he thought. “There were a few in America. Rather arrogant but still there nonetheless. I only met a few, and they didn’t quite take very kindly of me. Something about me mimicking their appearances threw them off.”

He listened to Osora speak, sighing gently at her words. He watched her with the bee, narrowing his eyes at the thing. Usually he would have swatted something like that away, but it seemed to belong to the other male.

@croccin-champagne

"Wouldn't that throw anyone off?" Shou asked, raising an eyebrow almost playfully as he grinned. He lifted a hand, clicking his tongue a couple times, and the bee left Osora to return to his hand. "There are a couple good Megumareta in America. Ren's mother was one, a vigilante like us. Hey, Osora, does she seem a bit off to you?"

"Powerdrill? Yeah, actually. Looks almost sick." Osora said, resting her head on Tali's shoulder but keeping it angled to watch Shou.

@Toxic_Persephone group

“Mm maybe. Seems pretty normal to me now. Hard to throw the skin-stealer himself off.” He let out a gruff laugh and watched the bee. “Mhm. Too many for their own good… I’m worried we’ll all be exterminated or something.” He mumbled, shivering.

Tali fell silent again, letting the two talk to one another. He seemed oddly disconnected from them and he didn’t like it. It felt like he was being left out. He withdrew into himself and fell oddly quiet for a little bit.

@croccin-champagne

"Yeah, she does, doesn't she." Shou mused, studying Powerdrill carefully. "I'll take her to Michael, see if he knows how to help her. So, where're you from man? Definitely not around here, least this neighborhood."

“I was born in Korea. Lived there for a while before I moved here to Japan, lived in a shrine for the longest time of my life. Got bored of being a deity and left, to America. It’s a rather interesting place I’ll tell you that, but it was nice nonetheless.” He suddenly nuzzled into Osora’s neck, sighing deeply. “I came here because, well, something told me I needed to come back. Ended up meeting Osora.”

@croccin-champagne

Osora ran her fingers through Tali’s hair, the movement almost instinctual when he nuzzled her. “Ran into me, actually. On the street. Though that might have been more my fault than anything.”

“Doesn’t surprise me. For a ballerina, you’re clumsy as hell.” Shou teased, snickering. “What was America like where you were? I’ve been a few times, and I prefer Japan, but people have a lot of varying opinions on the country.”

group
@Toxic_Persephone group

Tali let out a soft, happy sound, his head pressing up towards her fingers. It felt good. He wanted more.

“It’s noisy, crowded, and people there are rude. But it’s also beautiful and relaxing if you find the right place. I lived in a small apartment in a small town. It was quiet and I got to know a lot of good people.” Tali smiled at that, humming softly. “I liked living there.”

@croccin-champagne

"People here are definitely more polite. The locals, at least." Shou mused, nodding in agreement. "Americans are extremely entitled. No offense to Ren." He made a quick gesture with his hands, and Osora snorted. It was an inside joke between their group, that even accidentally insulting Ren was about the same as talking bad about a god.

"The one time I went to America, I crashed a train and was yelled at for fourty minutes by an American for getting his coffee wrong, despite the fact that I have never worked in a coffee shop ever, and we were in a bank." Osora said, rolling her eyes as she worked her fingers through Tali's hair happily. "Maybe I should have found a small town. There wouldn't be much crime of my type in them though." Maybe if she ever retired from hero work…

group
@Toxic_Persephone group

The skin-stealer laughed softly as they spoke, listening to their opinions and stories with amusement in his eyes. “Yes, Americans are like that. But in the smaller towns they are much kinder. But I do have to admit, there weren’t as many crimes… hardly any at all at times. Nothing big at least. Just drug busts. I wasn’t too interested in hero work…” he admitted sheepishly. He wouldn’t say it in front of the two crime-fighters in the room but Tali was definitely more of a villain.

@croccin-champagne

"I don't think I could live in a small town, no matter the country." Shou said, shrugging a shoulder as he checked his buzzing phone. "I need the bustle of big cities. The noise."

"A small town might be nice, if I could bring myself to leave." Osora looked over at her friend, arching a brow. Her and Tali's joking traveling ideas were wonderful in theory, but there was a certain obligation she felt to this city. Something tying her down here, a rope she couldn't sever. "But this is what I'm good at. And drug busts aren't my area of expertise when it comes to crime. I'm betting there weren't that many, either. What things do Americans do for fun, besides be rude to strangers?"

group
@Toxic_Persephone group

Tali understood that. He needed it to at times. Cities were an easy place to find some idiot to rob blind or some businessman to fool.

“Ah, there weren’t very many drug busts at all. I just had to escape the city. I couldn’t stand the people anymore. And I think they were start g to grow suspicious of me too.” He laughed gently and leaned his head into Osora’s fingers. “They watched a lot of tv, but there really is a lot of things to do there. There were a lot of fitness places some Americans went too, and large theatres and small places where one could go paint or throw pottery. A lot of fast food too, though, not as good but convenient.”

@croccin-champagne

"Our fast food will forever beat American fast food." Shou stated, moving to riffle through Osora's things. Not for any particular reason, it seemed, but she also didn't seem to care, perfectly content with petting Tali.

"Cinemas? Good to know they at least didn't skip over those." Osora said, harrumphing softly. "You really should be more careful with your….pastimes, Tali. If you aren't, you're going to get caught, one of these days."

group
@Toxic_Persephone group

Tali was perfectly content letting her pet him. “You’re right. But I am also partial to Korean cuisine. It was such a large part of my childhood”

Tali’s smile faded from his face moments after her words processed through his mind. He closed his eyes and sighed softly. “I almost want to be caught, Osora. I’m not even sure of who I am anymore, it gets rather tiring, you know. The more you wear the faces of others the more of yourself you lose.

@croccin-champagne

Osora's expression was so soft, for someone who was so emotionless half the time. She moved her hands to cup his face, pressing her nose to his gently. "So find yourself. You can't do that stuck in a jail cell, though." There was something so sure about the way she spoke, like she had absolute confidence in his ability to find himself.

Shou watched the two of them for a moment, lips lifting in a small and conspiratory smile as he slipped quietly out of the room. He was going to go bug Maki, and leave them to themselves for a bit. But he was glad too see Osora so open with someone, in a way she hadn't been in a while.

@Toxic_Persephone group

The skin-stealer's hands rose to meet hers, resting softly over them. He soaked in the warmth he felt from her, closing his eyes softly. "What else am I to do with this power of mine?" He asked calmly, relaxing against her soft form. She was beautifully reassuring for someone who didn't quite express her emotions.

His eyes flickered open as he heard Shou leave, curiosity lighting up in his eyes. He didn't question the male, however, rather thankful to be alone again with Osora. He liked just speaking with her.

@croccin-champagne

“I don’t entirely know. But we can figure that out together.” Osora said, her voice as soft as ever in the quiet room. Her eyes, that strange and slightly scary blood red, were warmer than seemed possible from her. She was making a promise, and she intended to keep it. “I save people, I help them, remember? You’ll just be a special case. Because you’ve got a little bit higher importance.”

group
@Toxic_Persephone group

He chuckled lightly, tilting his head as he studied the color of her eyes. Thought slightly unnerving, Tali found her eyes rather stunning. “A special case? I am a special case aren't I?”

@croccin-champagne

“The most special.” She said with a quick nod, bumping his forehead with hers gently. “You don’t have to do this alone. I’ll be right by your side while you figure things out.”

group
@Toxic_Persephone group

“Why thank you, Osora. I’m flattered you’re so willing to help me.” He replied with a grin, smiling. “You’re the most special to me too, you know. You can tell me anything. I’ll help you through it all.”

@croccin-champagne

"I'd rather not burden you. I've already shared a bit too much, Tali." She said, shrugging a shoulder. Her fingers traced his lips, the shape of his grin, and her own lips flickered briefly. Like she was trying to copy the smile, however she could, but couldn't. "But it's nice you think of me that way. Sweet. Just like you."

group
@Toxic_Persephone group

"You won't burden me, Osora." He reassured, holding still so she could freely explore his face with her fingers. He tried his hardest not to change his expression but it was hard when she was so cute. "You're sweeter, you know. You're always so kind towards me."
