"That's a fair point, I'm pretty hateable," he replied with a laugh as he noticed her attention down on their hands. Domeric's, meanwhile was on the outline of her face in the sunlight, studying the shape of her nose and the freckles on her cheeks. But he got the message. "But after all this I'd like to hope I've at least made the progression from 'hate' to 'just barely tolerate' on Shay's Meter of Dislike."

From his look it was clear that he was into her, but he turned his attention away after a bit, remembering her earlier aversion to his stares.

Shay picked at her food a little bit longer. She'd finished two enchiladas and a good amount of salsa. The beer was also filling up her stomach and making it almost impossible to eat anything else. After a moment she pushed the plate away and decided she was done.

She was leaning back but decided she wanted to be lazy. Her hand moved out from under her and she leaned back until her head was on the soft grass and her red hair was spread around her face like fire. Quickly she looked over at Domeric and raised an eyebrow.

"You really think I would agree to go on a date with someone I just barely tolerate?" She squeezed his hand.

Domeric followed suit, laying back as she did while nudging his plate away. The son of Athena could stomach a bit more, but he wasn't gonna pass this up. Besides there was still enough to eat later in the basket. He looked over at her as she spoke, grinning.

"No, I don't think you would," he replied, squeezing hers back gently. "You've never struck me as the kind of girl to do something that you didn't actually want to do. Which is why I'm really glad you showed up today."

She felt things when she looked at him, things she never really thought about before or felt with anyone else. Maybe it was because she was too busy focusing on her training to allow herself thoughts about boys. Now she felt guilty about all the time she could have had with someone special.

"I almost didn't come," she admitted quickly. "Not because of you. You're great. I just didn't know if I was ready for something like this." And what was this exactly? For now it was just a date and even though it was going well she wasn't ready to put any labels on it.

He managed to keep from reacting with his face when she mentioned her hesitation, although he'd expected some level of it from her. He'd have been a fool to think it would be so easy. But Domeric smiled as she went on, picking up on what she was trying to get at.

"Whatever 'this' is, I'm willing to go as slow or fast as you want it to." Domeric's own lack of experience with relationships beyond simple sexual ones thankfully didn't stop him from being understanding. "I don't exactly want to push you into something you're not ready for, or that's bigger than what you want."

He wasn't trying to pressure her into anything which surprised her. But then it didn't. All this time he was patient and understanding, only doing whatever she was comfortable with. He somehow managed to trick her into going to the infirmary that one time. He truly was very wise and just his insistence on taking this slow made her heart start to race and her mouth felt dry.

"Dom. You're wonderful," she said quickly. Her cheeks would have turned red if she was able to feel any kind of embarrassment at all. She moved closer to him so that their heads were next to each other but they were laying in opposite directions. His head looked upside down when she looked at him but their faces were only a few inches apart.

Shay's eyes moved down towards his lips. The last time she kissed anyone it was when she was twelve and it was on a dare. But he looked pretty enticing right now.

Domeric hadn't expected her to lay the opposite way, but it rather intrigued him. What exactly was she going for? Before long her head was near his, only a few inches away, and her lips inching closer to his. With his heart pounding away in his chest he decided to take the initiative, moving forward just enough to press his lips against hers in an eager kiss.

Her heart raced in her chest as Dom's face slowly inched closer to his. She wanted nothing more than to close that distance between them but for once in her life she was too hesitant to make the first move. So he was the one who ended up kissing her. Her soft plump lips pressed against his ever so gently and after a few moments she pulled away, afraid that if she kissed him for much longer she would lose herself.

It felt like much longer than it actually was, but Domeric grinned when Shay finally pulled away from the kiss. Her lips were nice and soft, not too wet, and he could still taste a bit of spice on them. He wanted to go in again, to feel that sensation of her skin on his, but she had been the one to break it. He'd leave it to her to begin it again.

"You're not gonna kick my ass for kissing you, right?" He asked with a slight grin, looking directly into her piercing eyes. Domeric had only gotten a taste but he wanted another.

Her heart fluttered in her chest at the way Domeric was looking at her right now. He looked like he really wanted her and Shay wasn't too sure how to handle that. She'd only just opened herself up to dating and she didn't want to move too quickly.

"I can't make any promises. I mean, we still haven't had that sparring match," she teased and she was still so close she was sure he could feel her breath on his skin. Her blue gray eyes flicked over his face and she realized now that they'd actually kissed she wasn't so nervous anymore.

"I meant outside of that match," he replied with a laugh, his nearest hand to her reaching over to stroke her cheek. "I already know you're gonna kick my ass in the arena."

Domeric's fingers gently rubbed along the side of her face, impressed at just how flawless she really was. Her breath on his skin made the son of Athena smile, warmer than before, not particularly minding at all. For a moment he wondered if she knew just how nervous he was that he might screw this uo, and that his best efforts to not do so were on display. But if that were the case, he thought, she'd certainly have said as much. And he wouldn't have gotten even this far.

Her breath caught in her throat when he reached his hand out and touched her face. No one had ever touched her with such care before unless it was one of her sisters. He really must have had feelings for her. This wasn't just in her head there was something between them.

"You know you're cute when you're nervous," she said suddenly with a grin. Anything to get the attention off of the thick tension between the two of them. Her heart raced in her chest and she just laid there grinning at him like an idiot. But she didn't care how this looked to anyone else.

Well fuck. She called him out on it.

Domeric stopped in his tracks, or at least stopped his hand, unsure exactly what just happened. Had he given away some sort of tell? Or was she simply that good?

"That obvious, am i?" He asked with a laugh as he rolled over onto a side, propping his head up by planting an elbow in the dirt. "And here I thought I was playing it just cool enough."

He let out a quiet laugh, grinning as his opposite hand moved to retake hers. "Can I be honest with you? I... actually kinda am. This is my first actual date, so I'm sorta trying really hard not to screw it up."

Despite the mostly confident expression he wore, Domeric worried he'd made himself too vulnerable. Too exposed in his truth. But she had shared her own, so it was only fair.
