Let's See What You've Got {Frosty}

[sbs]

Frosty chuckled, "It's the complete and utter opposite with me... I can barely stand the cold. Hell when it gets cold down in tampa I was always cuddling with a heater." He said laughing, "Chilly I don't mind... but cold or freezing... nu-uh." He said with a smile as he took another sip. "This is really good, I like the way you make it. It doesn't turn out the same whenever I do it." He set his cup down and started to try and massage his right shoulder area near his neck. His face looked a bit contorted from pain.

God did this suck, an Ax kick he suffered from last week had hit the main nerve in his neck and it's been hurting him ever since. No matter what he did he couldn't get the pain to just go away. Even Icey hot didn't even work and that stuff always worked no matter what! He stopped after admiting defeat to it and rolled his shoulders.

He cracked his neck and then picked the coffee back up and taking a sip from it. He looked over at Reina. He ment to glance but he couldn't stop just staring. She looked really beautiful with the glow from the fire radiating off of her skin. He shook his head as he started to stare into the fire becoming mesmerized by the hypnotic dance the flames created.

"Ah...I've always loved the cold, even as a child. I grew up in the mountains but then moved to this area after I was turned two years ago." She smiled at him and returned to sipping her coffee. It was then she noticed that Frosty was rubbing his shoulder, grimacing in pain. Huh, now what happened to him?

The mug was back on the floor and she got behind him, hands resting atop his shoulders. Fingers gently dug into his skin, trying to loosen up the tensed up muscles, "Sheesh. I haven't met anyone with muscles this knotted up." Thumbs went to work along the shoulder blades while the others tried to help ease the pain on the right. "Stretching after exercises will help you out as well but...damn. You've got a pretty bad knot right here."

"Yeah... A fucker I was fighting at Zetsunai had nailed me with an ax kick really hard and I've been hurting there ever sense." He said and then laughed, "Would you beleive I'm actually relaxed right now?" He said as he was trying to hold back a groan of relaxation. It felt soooooo gooooood! He couldn't believe at how good it felt to have a massage. He couldn't take it anymore, "Oh my god this feels so good..." he groaned.

He couldn't help it. She deffinatley knew how to move her fingers and use her hands. Dear lord was she good at this! He damn near feel asleep he was becoming so relaxed. He lifted his head up making sure not to slunch or anything. Normally when people tried to massage his neck and loosen up the muscles it would hurt but she knew exactly what to do. It was probably becuase she was in martial arts and had learned ways to moved the muscles around without inflicting Pain.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina smiled at Frosty, "It took a long time for me to get this good but to loosen these muscles, I will have to get a bit rougher, so it won't be as relaxing." She started to focus all her attention on the right shoulder. Did he ever loosen it up? Did he stretch? Well..that axe kick would do something...Just the thought of an axe kick to the shoulder...

"Don't fall asleep on me, love. I might take advantage of you...I'm kidding. I'm kidding." She laughed and returned to loosening up the knot in his shoulder. It was starting to soften so she returned to using both hands on both shoulders. This was her toughest "job" yet.

Frosty couldn't help but smart off after her remark of taking advantage of him if he feel asleep. He smirk and started snickering before he finally said. "Awwww you really do love me!" He busted out laughing. He couldn't help but to fall asleep it was just so relaxing. While she was massaging he somewhat leaned, back, he didn't mean to he just... did.

It was actually quite comfortable leaning agianst her somewhat, His eyes were closed and he was holding back a yawn. The fire felt warm along side of her massaging. "I can sit back up if you want..." he said in a mumble. He hadn't been this relaxed since... well since ever really. He laughed inside a little, wow how it felt good. But at the same time it felt weird at the same time becuase no one had ever done anything like this for him before in his life. He was always used to being the outcast and misfit of everything. He was used to being a loner...

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina raised an eyebrow at Frosty's exclamation, "I may be on my way to that but let's not rush things now, shall we?" There was a hint of laughter in her voice while saying that. No, love took a while to develop. Or so she thought. She had heard stories of people falling for each other when they first meet! But eh, in her mind they were only fantasies and nothing more. Romantic? Maybe.

"Nah. You don't have to sit back up. I can probably get a bit deeper into your muscles tissue at this angle." And so she did. By now she might have lessened the tension enough to make it easier for him to move around without that kink. With a slight pat on his shoulders, she slipped forward, resting her chin on top of his head, staring into the fire...

[sbs]

Frosty yawned he was getting tired when Reina placed her chin on his head he smirked. He felt so... comfortable around her. Unlike every other girl he's been alone in a room with. His smirk widened as he thought of something. "You know... I never asked something that I wanted to. I just told you I liked you and stole a kiss from you." he said as he smiled and watched once agian the hypnotic dance of the fire that was burning in the fire place.

Watching the way the flames moved so vivid and gracefully in a mesmerizing manor anwsered his question of why he liked fire so much. Just being able to watch something burn was fun. Fire was a very cool thing to Frost, then agian he was a pyromaniac back in his teen years. He remebered an old Vampire known as Thorn he had met in the park one day who said she was capable of pyrokenesis. He wondered if he met back up with her if she would teach him. Or perhaps Master Kang knew and could teach him.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina tilted Frosty's head back, lightly pressing her lips against his forehead, "Pretty bold move you made back there though. Normally I'd bitch slap the guy who tried and knee him in the crotch for good measure. Though I know that your intentions were honorable. Other men I've met only tried to kiss me in hopes of getting into my pants. Oh well, made them think with their head instead of their penis after I was through with them."

The female grinned and tilted his head back a tad further, lightly brushing her lips over his. "You got away with murder." She teased. Without warning, the power suddenly shot on, causing poor Reina to yelp in surprise. She landed on her back and stared up at the ceiling, "Curse you electricity...curse you..." Ruined a good moment too! Of all things...

Oh well. "One of these days...one of these days.........I don't know. I'll think of something threatening but for now...just one of these days."

[sbs]

As the power Cut back on Reina leaped back letting the light hit Frosty's eyes suddenly. "Gar!" he groaned covering his eyes. and then started chuckling, "Damn... a perfect moment freaking ruined by the electricity... I say we turn out the lights and stuff I was having fun when the power was off." he said as he laughed. "Besides, I could see alot better without the lights on..." he muttered as he put his hands over his eyes trying to block out the light.

Damn, he would've kissed her back if the power hadn't startled her. He was wondering what time it was as he looked out the window and say the sky was turning a purplish blue. Wait... That normally ment... Shit. Frosty had pulled several all nighters enough to know when Dawn was coming... and all the curtains and blinds were open. If the sun rose they'd both be fried... "Shit Rei, Help me right quick. Sun is coming up." He said as he got up and started closing the blinds and shutting the curtains.

[†The Blood Countess†]

The sun was rising? Aw, great. "Ain't this a lovely bunch of oats..." Reina grumbled before sitting up. Rather than getting worked up like Frosty, she calmly closed the curtains and pulled down the blinds. The sun won't come up over the horizon for another few minutes so there was plenty of time to shield themselves from those deadly UV rays. "Some of these windows have a coat on them that blocks the rays that turn us to ash but....I don't like taking chances."

So after the sun was blotted out completely, Reina turned off the lights, allowing her eyes to readjust to the darkness...or what's left of it. The sun was now up, hitting the curtains, giving the room some lighting. Great. At least the sun wasn't on them. It was then Reina realized something, "Shit. I left the window open in my room upstairs. I can't go in there now because the sun literally floods into it unless the window is covered."

Reina sat down on the sofa and rubbed her eyes, "Stupid priest. Shouldn't have done that exorcism...then vampires wouldn't have trouble out in the sun."

"Well then... It looks like we're both crashing out here... I'll sleep on the floor." he offered as he went back towards to grab his cup of soda/blood. His coffe was already gone so he took the mug and placed it in the sink. Afterwards he sat down on the couch next to Reina. Taking a sip of his soda he yawned a bit. "You know, just to make this offical... You wanna go out with me?" he said with a slight smirk and blushing a little.

He was shocked at how blunt he was about asking her, normally he'd beat around the bush until they figured it out but no, with her he could be blunt and honest and he loved that. He took another sip of his soda. Well not much of a sip, more like a gulp. He couldn't beleive that one of his concoqtions actually worked and tasted good.

[†The Blood Countess†]

"I'll sleep on the floor too. I love curling up in front of a nice, warm fire while bundled up in a thick, fuzzy blanket." Reina laid back on the sofa, arms folded. Yet, right when Frosty asked her if she wanted to go out with him, there was an eerie silence. For a moment or two, she sat there, staring at him. One might think she's about to say "no" or "repeat that again" but she didn't. Suddenly, she pounced forth, tackling Frosty onto the sofa!

This was unexpected, "Yes! I'd love to." She laughed, "It's funny. I was about to ask you a moment ago but you beat me to the question...be right back. Going to put on my jammies. They're in the laundry room thank God." She pecked his forehead and walked off towards said laundry room, closing the door behind her.

About four minutes later she emerged in an over sized T-shirt and jammie bottoms that had dark pink blood splatters imprinted on them, "Hang on. I'm going to turn on the dishwasher."

[sbs]

Frosty smiled, he couldn't beleive she had said yes. It was awesome! And hopefully this relationship wouldn't end like the other one did. Hell hopefully it wouldn't end period. He got up and with his drink and laid down near the fire place. The carpet was soft on his bare back. He looked up at Reina when she came out in her pajamas. "Nice Pj's, love the blood splater." he said pointing at her pants. He sat up and took the last couple of gulps from his drink.

He set the cup down reached into his pockets pulling out his pack of Newports and tossing them up. Amazingly they landed on the table. "Wow... That actually work." Frosty said as he looked at where the pack had landed in shook then busted out laughing. "That's just freakin awesome."

[†The Blood Countess†]

"Thanks, got them a long time ago when I was in southern California visiting a cousin. Saw them on sale at Mervyn's and I couldn't resist. The tank that goes with it has a skull on it but...I lost it somewhere. Don't know where it went." She poured dawn into the dishwasher, closed it and turned it on. When the wash started up, she went back to Frosty, laying down on the carpet next to him, head resting in her cupped hands.

The fire was starting to dim, so she rolled over, snatched a log and threw it in. Sparks flew up and vanished into the chimney. "Can you believe Thanksgiving is coming up so quickly? I'm thankful I can keep eating human food. My mother makes the best apple pies..." She grinned and closed her eyes, sighing in delight, laying back down on the ground.
