She picked up a CD and looked it over, smiling slightly, “This Of Monsters and Men album looks good, what do you think?” She raised the album for him to see, “And what kind of music do you like?” She asked as she picked out through the rest of the CDs, her other hand still captured by his.
“I can listen to most anything but I prefer hard rock, classic rock, any kind of rock really, oh and some metal too.” He said cocking his head to the side while he thought about his music tastes.

Her eyes, laughing, amused, teasing back, “It may be a request, but you never said any rules that applied to that Seto. I still say its a question and because I asked it. So you need to follow through and tell me one embarrassing story. Don’t tell me you can’t. The great Seto, never backs down from a challenge. It shouldn’t be hard for you. It will be our little secret.”
“Hey I never said I wouldn’t answer the question, I just meant that you should actually phrase it as a question rather than a request.” he said defensively.Then he cocked his head to the side a racked his brain for a suitable story. With a flush of his cheeks Seto thought of something to tell her. “Alright…I’ve got one but you’ve gotta be serious about it being our secret. Seriously, you’ve gotta take it to your grave Korra.”
She rolled her eyes, chuckling, hands on hips, a smug look on her face awaiting his story. He began to tell his story. “Of course, Seto. I won’t tell a soul. A secret is a secret. I promise.”
Seto sighed and ruffled his hair. “Well…back when Maya - our team’s firebender - first joined up with us she…was uh…not very familiar with the shower rooms…and she ended up going into the guys shower room. Luckily or…unluckily, depending on your point of view, I happend to go in there before anyone else and I saw her…uh…bathing. I-in full view.” he said, hoping she’d get what he was implying. Honestly he didn’t know if he could straight out say that he had saw Maya naked.
“Seto pulled away and blinked at her in confusion before realizing what she was asking. “Oh well..I think I may have implied it before but after me and Maya were attacked I went looking for a way to get my bracelet back and after asking around for a while…well, I found you. More specifically, you were the best option there was.”Listening to what he was saying, she could only wonder who this Maya person was? Perhaps his girlfriend or just a good friend. As much as she wanted to ask, Maka kept the question to herself. “Oh, well yeah. Honestly, I’m glad we bumped into each other.”
Seto shook his head. “Well like I said…I went looking for you Maka. That night in the bar was a planned out event. I knew where you’d be and at what time, and even what to say to get you to help me when I needed it. I even had a few back up plans in case that didn’t work. Not all of them very nice.” he admitted, not able to meet her eyes as he said that last part. It wasn’t something he was proud of but…he knew he woudl have done whatever it took to get his mother’s bracelet back.
//I think I can imagine what those good things are. And let me just say: me gusta.
Seto raised his eyebrow at that. “And what, you did that with the spiders too? Did you like, start a soup kitchen for arachnids but with flies instead of soup?”
Runa chuckled, “No, i just never let people kill spiders in front of me, and if they do i scold them.” She…
Seto stopped in his tracks and stopped her too by pulling on her arm lightly. Then he put his arm around her and kissed her temple. “Hey. C’mon. Don’t look so ashamed. Runa I’ll admit its not normal to thimk like that, but it certainly isn’t bad. Iys actually very sweet and admirable. And one of the biggest reasons I love you is BECAUSE of how sweet you are.” He whispered.
Runa looked up at him and smiled a little, “T-thank you, Seto..” Her smiled widened, “you accept me for who I am, weirdness and all,” she chuckled lightly, “Oh and I love you too,” she leaned up to kiss his nose lightly. “And you’re the best boyfriend ever.”
Seto shook his head with a smile. “You make it sound like loving you is hard. How you love a troublemaker like me is a little bit more difficult to believe though.” Seto wasn’t exactly a troublemaker per se, but he did get into fights sometimes, skip classes every once in a while, and he very rarely did his homework at all. He had good enough grades to get by without doing it, and homework was just a nusiance that cut into his personal time.
So yeah, it was a little bit of a miracle to him that Runa could love him like he did her.
“You’re such a teddy bear under that rough exterior,” She giggled, “And you’re sweet, thoughtful… And awesome.” She added with a smile, “There are plenty of reasons to fall for you. And I must say, I’ve defiantly fallen.” Her lips quirked into a small smirk, “I’ve hit my head on the way down though, i think it deserves a kiss.”
Seto leaned in so that the tip of his nose was touching hers and smiled. “I really am lucky to have you Runa.” He whispered before kissing her deeply, letting his arms wrap around her waist.
Runa smiled into the kiss and tilted her head to deepen it more. She wrapped her arms around Seto’s shoulders, and remembered another reason to love him, he was an extraordinary kisser. She bit his bottom lip lightly and let a little contented sigh into his mouth.
Seto shuddered with pleasure and pulled away from her slightly. “Easy gem, we’re in public remember?” he reminded her reluctantly. Truthfully he was all for continuing right then and there but it probably wouldn’t be to wise to let things get too…heated.
She pouted slightly but nodded in agreement, god forbid one of her small group of friends see them and tease her relentlessly and playfully about it. “You’re right, I guess..” She paused and pecked his lips, “To be continued?” She asked, a touch of hopefulness mixed with her voice.
Seto grinned widely at that. “Oh abso-freakin-lutely.” He then went into a fit of laughter at the amount of eagerness in that statement. Man, he really was hopelessly in love with her! And what made that even funnier was how much knowing that made him happy. Despite how hooked on her he was, he just didn’t mind in the slightest.
Runa chuckled with him. She brushed some of his hair out of his face, some times he was just too much, too cute and handsome and sweet, and gah…. She loved him so much, she’d opened herself up to it even more when her father accepted that they were together. She was so happy with him. She smiled up at him and kissed his nose, “I’m just as lucky to have you,” she told him, hugging him close.
Seto nuzzled her nose with hers. “Yeah, I feel the same way about you gem. Now c’mon, lets go buy ourselves some music yeah?”
Runa smiled and nodded, she took his hand and they walked to the mall’s main entrance. “Where do you want to go first? I don’t go into the music stores, I usually buy allot of my music online.” She asked as they entered.
Truthfully he didn’t BUY his music at all, unless it was a CD of course. His digital music, the kind he listened to on his MP3 player, came from YouTube to MP3 comverters. But he wasn’t going to tell HER that. She’d probably scold him or something. “Umm…why don’t you pick first, then I’ll pick where we go after that. Sound good?”
“Sure,” she smiled, “I heard the fye sells some good music, lets go there.” She squeezed his hand lightly and they made their way to the store. She smiled as she noted their large CD collection, “Oh, I was right,” she chuckled lightly and lead him to the alternative section, she liked rock too but she’d check that later.
Seto rested his chin on her shoulder. “Find anything good yet gem?” he asked idly, not seeing anything that caught his eye in the alternative section yet.
Inia set up her small studio moving about so that everything was in it’s designated spot. The clock on the wall ticked as the pendulum swung and the sun lit up the entire front room. She had a variety of props and furniture within reach not knowing which her client would prefer.
It was half past the hour and her appointment was fifteen till. It would be her first appointment in months. She really needed to get more work lined up but no one seemed to want their photos taken recently.
Seto panted as he ran down the street. Why in the name of Yue did he always get himself involved in every random crime or trouble he came across in the city? True he was helping a lot of people by doing so, but he almost always got into more danger than he originally planned to. Maybe he should just join the police force so he could at least do this kind of thing with proper backup and resources.
But first things first: he had to get away from the benders who were shooting fireballs at him, prefferably without any injuries.
Seto cursed as a fireball sailed past his ear. Realizing that they were getting a little too close for comfort to him, he turned a corner sharply and entered the first building he came too and braced himself against the door. After a few seconds he heard the firebenders run past his hideout, shouting and cursing his name. Seto sighed with relief.
//Hmmm..I think imna pop in as Howl for a little bit.
//So I’m on mobile now. Yay! I owe bendingpsycopaths (I think I misspelled that) and ladygrowls a response but I’m going to wait till tomorrow to get to those particular responses. Hopefully I can get on a computer then. I’m still waiting for responses from everyone else. So imna pop into askboxes and stuff.
*bumps into you*
“Oh yeah! You rock! Thanks Maka!” He said loudly before throwing his arms around her waist and holding her tightly. “Hahaha, I know this sounds weird but I’m sorta glad those thugs jumped me in the first place.”Not expecting him to suddenly hug her, Maka couldn’t help but…
“Seto pulled away and blinked at her in confusion before realizing what she was asking. “Oh well..I think I may have implied it before but after me and Maya were attacked I went looking for a way to get my bracelet back and after asking around for a while…well, I found you. More specifically, you were the best option there was.”
There was a breif silence as Seto appreciated how cute Maka looked when she blushed like that. But then he did speak up again, clearing his throat nervously before doing so. “So..hey..Maka…when they let me out in a few days..you wanna hang out sometime. It’d be awesome if I could get to know you better.” He paused and chuckled. “Especially without some dangerous mission weighing on our minds.”Looking at him, her blush on the tops of her cheeks deepened in color. Was…was he asking the strict and stubborn officer on a date? Or was it just to be friendly? Either way, she didn’t mind it. Chuckling at his last statement, the firebender opened her mouth to speak. “Sure, why not. I don’t see any harm in that.”
Seto grinned and supressed the urge to pump his fist. “Alright sweet! Hey but this doesn’t mean you’re off the hook for coming to visit me while I’m stuck here though. Oh and I’ve decided I want you to cook for me too, bring me something like those eggs you made me!” He didn’t want to be overbearing…but he still had her services for the next six days. Might as well make the best of it right?
“Of course I’ll visit. I’m not going to leave you here alone until you get out. Although, I do work night shifts this week.” Bringing a hand onto her hip, she couldn’t help but laugh at how happy he seemed. Maybe during the while he would be in the healing side of the hospital, Maka could get to know more about him. “I knew you liked those eggs. But don’t worry. I’ll bring those and a couple of other things too.”
“Oh yeah! You rock! Thanks Maka!” He said loudly before throwing his arms around her waist and holding her tightly. “Hahaha, I know this sounds weird but I’m sorta glad those thugs jumped me in the first place.”
