Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

They left Jaakuna and Emiri to be alone. After the embarrassing moment that they probably put them in, Wesley and the two girls would just let them be. It was obvious they wanted alone time, and Wesley was going to make sure they had gotten that. As the doors were closed, Nadeline, trying as much as she could, evaded the subject of talking about it and she simply stated that she has more texts to translate for the espers. Wesley thought that was a wonderful idea. "I shall assist you to do that." He said. As he would start to follow her, Savayna was just staring at the door of Jaakuna's room. She started to walk to it but, Wesley prevented her from doing so.

"Come on, you're coming too." Wesley said.

Savayna looked at him, like before, as if he was stupid. "I'm not going anywhere." She exclaimed.

Wesley had no choice. He picked her up by the waist and as she would kick and claw at him. She would yell and curse and do just about anything she possibly could as he would carry her when he would follow Nadeline.

Meanwhile, back in Jaakuna's room and on his bed, he and Emiri are just sitting there most likely thinking about what just happened. When Jaakuna was just thinking about what had just happened, he heard Emiri laugh. Why is she laughing? That was his initial thought. He didn't even know why she was laughing, but then when she spoke, it made sense. She was laughing at just how they probably should have went down to breakfast when they had the chance.As she said that, she turned her gaze to Jaakuna and he did the same. He couldn't help but chuckle at it too. Jaakuna would let the laughter expire before he spoke. "No, I don't." He said as he took Emiri's hands and looked into her eyes. "Despite what just happened, I'm happy you stayed up here with me." He said smiling at her,"what we did, what we shared, it's everything I imagined and then some." He said just looking into her eyes, still holding her hands, but this time he raised them up as he had both of them in both of his.

Jaakuna couldn't believe, Wesley couldn't believe it, Emiri no doubt couldn't believe it, and it would seem that Nadeline couldn't believe it. The bluntness that Savayna had was met with just disbelief and everybody in the room just gasped and looked at her. Savayna would look at everyone in this order: Wesley, Nadeline, Jaakuna, and Emiri. That would involve her turning around in a full circle and the awkward gazes. However, Savayna didn't really care. No one else was going to ask the question, so she had to.

Just as Jaakuna was about to go off again,Wesley did something that would save Jaakuna more words and less strain to his voice. "Okay, we're leaving." Wesley said.

Savayna looked at him like he was stupid. "Are you fucking stupid? This is the best thing to happen to me all morning." She stated.

Wesley gave the former general a stern look. "We're leaving. Now." He said with a firm stance. "You too, Nadeline." He said turning to her.

Wesley would get the two ladies out, guiding them forcefully with his two arms — his right guiding Nadeline out and the left for Savayna. — Once they were all out, Wesley closed the doors(there were two of them). Wesley breathed in deeply and then exhaled out. This was a stressful situation and he knew that letting Emiri and Jaakuna at least adjust to it would do everybody some good.

Sitting there quietly, Jaakuna didn't know what to say. He almost outed what he and Emiri were doing and now as he would gaze over to Emiri slightly, he saw that she too had embarrassment across her face. Jaakuna never was like this before — this venerable, and he just didn't know how to handle it. — Jaakuna was just trying his best not to go off on his friends again, but he still wanted to give them more pieces of his mind. However, before he would get a chance to do as such, Nadeline would go on to say that they couldn't find Emiri and even worse, she wasn't in her room. Jaakuna had then looked up at Nadeline with a dumb look on his face. He knew it. They were down and awake when Jaakuna had suggested it to Emiri that they should go down, but the moment of what they were having and the emotions of their feelings took over and they didn't go down.

Jaakuna looked like he felt so sorry. "Oh, uh, sorry..?" Jaakuna's voice trailed on like it was a half-statement, half-question. He didn't know whether he wanted to ask that if he was sorry or simply state it.

Wesley looked to Jaakuna and by result, to Emiri, but he would turn away. Wesley felt uncomfortable in the current situation. The raised voice of Jaakuna didn't help much either Did they really come at a bad time? Wesley didn't know whether to stay silent or just say something. "My apologies for barging in on you two." That's all Wesley could say.

Savayna, being the who had initially kicked the door open, she was the one who was the most silent one. She didn't know why that was, either. There was just something about this all that made her not say anything. She wanted to, but the words wouldn't come out. That was until she just decided to blurt out something and she knew that she was going to regret them. "So, were you two fucking or what?"

Everything was leading up to this moment. Emiri was on top of Jaakuna, he looked at her as her hands came away from his chest and she would go to removing the scrunchie that tied her hair and all it flowed angelically down her shoulders and back. The way her hair naturally flowed over her frame, Jaakuna was mesmerized by her beauty. A part of him wished she would have her hair like this all of the time. She looked so angelic like that. When she would remove the ribbon and her hair released as a result, she would take the ribbon that held her dress up in fitted position and remove it. The dress would remove itself via the natural aspect of gravity. Jaakuna's heart was racing at this point. It was a good kind. This is the moment they've both been waiting for..

Aannnnd it's gone.

Two things were the cause of the moment going away. The first was the door to Jaakuna's room flying way open with such severity of force. The second, and this something Jaakuna knew all too well, was the yelling of Savayna. When the surprise made Emiri immediately pop off, Jaakuna instantly popped off not noticing that there was a sudden rise of activity down south. Jaakuna was beat red, just as Emiri was. However, unlike Emiri, he was more angry as fuck rather than surprised like Emiri. Though, she would express some anger at Savayna and the two peepers looking through the door. Jaakuna saw them. "I CAN SEE YOU TWO!" He yelled out, anger clearly expressed across his face.

By the time that the two had came in, Jaakuna would turn his gaze to Emiri for a brief moment, and well, he saw her wonderful breasts. Shaped to perfection. Those assholes, they ruined what would have been the perfect moment.I'LL KILL THEM! JAakuna was livid and he would only continue to curse them out in his mind. As he would do that, however, Nadeline would go on to say how dare Emiri, as she put it, frolic around in such a way that she was doing. Jaakuna lost it. "YOU STUPID, IDIOTIC, MOTHERFUCKING, INTERRUPTING DUMBASSES!" Jaakuna had begun his cursing train and it would not end there. "First off, if you guys had any awareness at all, you would have simply asked Iris about our whereabouts. But, noooooo, you took upon yourself to enter my private chambers and god-forbid you should knock. I swear, what possible reason could you have for barging in to my room while Emiri and I.." And there it was. He heard himself. Jaakuna stopped as, for the first time in a long while, Jaakuna was embarrassed. He simply sat there silent.

The door of the elevator closed and NAdeline would make a comment about how the idea of having the button that led up to Jaakuna's room was a good idea to have it as it was if one was intoxicated. Wesley laughed at this and nodded. As he would press the button, the elevator started to move upward and after about fifteen seconds, it would stop, and the doors would open. This meant that they had arrived on the floor to Jaakuna's room. As the three of them walked out, Wesley couldn't help it but be amazed at how fancy Jaakuna's set up was for his room.

"Quite the setup he has here." Wesley said, admiring Jaakuna's set up.

When they arrived at Jaakuna's room door, the nervousness was pretty high among Wesley and Nadeline. She would tell Wesley that he should be the one to open it. Instantly, Wesley turned to Nadeline, face full of surrpise. Now she brings the lady card up He thought just looking at her with surprise. "I think not. I need not to see what 'business' he is doing, either." Wesley said as politely as he could.

Both Wesley and Nadeline would go back and forth on arguing of who should open the door. While they were doing that, Savayna took it upon herself to kick the door wide open with the full force of her right leg. "SURPRISE JACKASS!" She yelled as the door was flown right open..

And so they were off, to Jaakuna's room to venture off for the truth. The Mystery Gang would go from the kitchen, well that was before until Wesley would put away the food. That took about five minutes and though he didn't see their eyes, Wesley could feel the impatient eyes beating down upon him from both ladies. He could hear the tapping of feet. This really didn't make it any better for Wesley, but he would hurry as quick as he could to get all the food put away. When he finally did, The Mystery Gang would enter the Elevator just down the hall and as they would enter it, Wesley would press the button that read 'My Room." Wesley couldn't help but chuckle at that. "It seems Jaakuna surely knows which button leads to his room." Wesley admitted in a slight chuckle. As the door closed, the elevator would go up to Jaakuna's room.

It was a nice suggestion and Wesley was considering that as an option too, but if they would have went out, Iris would have informed them. Or at the very least, would have given the notice that people left the airship. Unless, of course, they told Iris not to tell anyone in the event that they wanted to be alone. Wesley was considering all angles and it's surprising because he's usually not this way when he wakes up, but he had a good breakfast, so all is good. Savayna, on the other hand, was just being as uninterested in the current topic of conversation as possible. To her it didn't matter if Jaakuna and Emiri were gone. If they were gone, then they were gone. If they weren't, then they weren't. She would just let out a groan of boredom.

Wesley would speak as he would hear Savayna release that bored groan. "Perhaps we should go check Jaakuna's room. We might find some answers there." Wesley suggested.

"Whatever." Savayna just groaned at that suggestion. She didn't care, but anything beat sitting around thinking about the 'what ifs?'

Enjoying the breakfast that he made for his friends, Wesley was happily eating some of it as well as Savayna. He was enjoying some of the eggs and one of the pieces of Dire Wolf Steak he prepared while Savayna herself was just having some of the Blueberry pancakes. All the while they were having that, Nadeline seemed to be on her cranky pill this morning, at least that's what Savayna thinks. Nadeline seemed to not want the coffee that Wesley had prepared for everyone, but that matters not. She would just make her own, it would seem, and while Wesley and Savayna were just making small talk about how Jaakuna and Emiri were nowhere to be seen, that is what seemed to get Nadeline's attention slightly. She said no words, and Wesley thought that was weird.

As him and Savayna were finishing up their breakfast, Wesley would get up from the table and go to the sink. He would put his plate into the sink and turn on the fosit. He would adjust the settings to slightly warm and as the water would wash down any of the excess food leftover, he would then turn it off and walk back to his chair and sit back down. Savayna would then get up and do the very same that Wesley did. It would only take her a moment or so to do what Wesley had just done. As soon as she finished, she also sat back down at the chair that she was sitting at. By this point, Nadeline came back to the dining room/kitchen area with a curious and confused look on her face. She would then go onto say that Emiri seemed to be missing. Both Wesley and Savayna looked towards her in shock. Like, they literally turned their heads to Nadeline in unison. She would also go on to say that Emiri was not in her room and obviously not in the kitchen/dining room area.

When Wesley thought about it, he thought it was definitely odd. He didn't know Emiri as well as Nadeline did, but he knew that if someone was going to sleep, they would definitely be in their room, either remaking their bed or still sleeping. So, for Nadeline to say that she was not in her room really made him worry about her. Okay, maybe it was more curiosity rather than worry, but still. "Hmm, this truly is troubling." Wesley said thinking about where Emiri could possibly be.

Savayna was the only one not bothered by any of this. She really didn't care and it showed on her face. "Perhaps she took off running, that IS what she's known for right?" Savayna said looking as bored and uninterested as she possibly could. Her head rested on her right arm and her body was shifted in her chair to a counterclockwise position and her left leg crossed over her right.

The kiss meant more this time. It was both of them at a state to where they truly were happy. Jaakuna felt it, Emiri most likely felt it to. Added to that, Jaakuna could feel the confidence from her to him and vice-versa. It was unlike anything that Jaakuna had experienced before. The emotional overload was off the charts. He felt love and it was real. It was like he was on Cloud Nine. It was only him and her, both of them with each other and nothing would end the moment, not if he had anything to do about it. That’s when, slowly, but surely, Jaakuna would guide Emiri on her back, and gently taking her. His right leg would find its place on the inside of hers and his left on outside of her left. It didn’t matter how early it was outside, the moment was perfect.

---

Down in the kitchen/dining room area on the ship, everyone else found themselves enjoying a breakfast that Wesley had prepared. Everyone had just gotten up. Wesley had prepared a wonderful breakfast feast as there was three different stacks of pancakes — blueberry, strawberry, and Apple&cinnamon . Added to that, there was a big bowl of scrambled Cockatrice Eggs, Dire Wolf steaks, and plenty of toast with chocobo butter spread available to use on the toast. As the three of them were adjusting to waking up, Wesley sits down as does Savayna. They both look around the table and they notice the absence of two of their friends,

“Wonder where Jaakuna and Emiri are at?” Wesley says as he chews on some toast.

Savayna yawns and spoke. “Jaakuna is always a late bird, so I’m not surprised that he’s not up yet. I have no idea about Emiri.” She says sheepish.

Wesley just lets out a curious moan. “Perhaps one of us should go wake them up. It is unhealthy to stay in bed for longer than the minimum.” Wesley suggests.

Savayna groans. “I’m not doing it.”

Jaakuna couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Wait. That’s a bold-faced lie. He can believe what he is hearing cause he knows Emiri and he knew that she loved him. He was waiting for her to realize it and finally admit it to not only herself, but to him as well. Jaakuna couldn’t be any more happy than he already is at the current moment. All the words she would speak, it would just resnonate in his ears as a symphonic melody sung by the angels high above. If last night when she stayed when him didn’t make him the happiest man on Ivalice, then definitely hearing her utter those three simple words with his name at the front of it made Jaakuna truly happy.

Jaakuan didn’t speak words. He knew they were cheap and actions were the only thing that would make sense. Taking his left hand, Jaakuna ran it across the right side(her right) of her face, stroking her ear, and brushing her hair behind said ear. He would then look deep into her eyes — her deep, violet eyes — and he would kiss her, but this time was different. All the previous times that he would kiss her(or vice versa), it was just out of pure ecstasy that stemmed from sexual desire and attraction. However, this time was different — deeper. The way he kissed her was different, the way he took her was different, and the way his lips met hers was different. It was like no other time before for the two of them. The aspect of guests being up was no concern to Jaakuna right now. He didn’t care if Wesley or Nadeline were up and about nor if Savayna was as well. All he cared about was this moment, this woman he’s sharing it with, and the kiss that, in his mind, would last a life time. Truly, this one kiss, for as long as it would carry on for, Jaakuna would cherish it just as he will cherish her, his baby, Emiri.
