"I'm doing… you."
Aiden noted her flushed cheeks, her unfocused eyes. Synthai was so obviously and uncharacteristically smashed, but he couldn't help but be a little flattered. "Oh is that so?" he laughed.
"Yuuuuup," her lips popped on the P sound, and she turned to look around is his suite.
Synthai gasped when she spotted his dinner, half eaten and sitting on a room service cart. "Can I have some of this?" she asked, sauntering over to his food and taking a giant bite of a baguette before he even had the chance to respond.
"Help yourself," Aiden chuckled.
She practically moaned, before looking over to him. "I love bread," she declared with her mouth full. Synthai was usually so prim and polished, untouchable. There was something about her drunken playfulness that was oddly charming. Aiden couldn't help the smile on his face.
Synthai picked up his empty wine glass and looked into it with disappointment before she turned to him. "We should get more wine!"
"Actually," he began, approaching her slowly, "I think you've probably had a little too much wine tonight." He took the wine glass from her hand and she pouted.
She opened her mouth like she was going to protest, but then became distracted by his uniform hanging across the room. Synthai practically skipped over to it before she ran her fingers gingerly over the fabric. She peeked over her shoulder at him, opal eyes mischievous, "you look soo good in your uniform," she purred.
"Uhh, ya think so?" Aiden said scratching the back of his head and letting out an embarrassed chuckle.
Synthai inspected his captain's hat before she put it on her own head. Then she turned around and looked at him like she knew something funny that he didn't.
Aiden raised an eyebrow as Synthai strolled right up to him with a serious expression. She stared up at him for a moment before declaring in a voice deeper than her usual, "I'm the captain now."
He couldn't help it when he burst out laughing and she started laughing too.
"You're adorable," Aiden said once their laughter faded. He smiled softly down at her as their eyes met and Synthai's face fell.
"Nooooo!" Synthai pouted, throwing her arms down at her sides. She gazed down at her feet like she was actually upset.
"Oh I'm sorry," he apologized, confused, putting his hands up in mock surrender. "You're not adorable."
Synthai peeked back up at him. "I'm sexy," she told him. Aiden just smirked, he couldn't disagree. "That reminds me!"
Without warning, she pulled off her modest sweater, revealing a delicate, lacy white bra. Aiden could help when his gaze flickered down at her ample cleavage and vaguely wondering if her panties matched.
He willed himself to look back at her face and she was smirking and backing up on to his bed. Aiden laid down, her indigo hair fanned out around her head. Never breaking eye contact.
"Don't you think I'm sexy, Captain Aiden?"
Aiden covered his face in his hands, trying not to blush and praying to every god he knew for strength.
"Oh wow!" Synthai sighed. Aiden peeked through his fingers to see her hugging all the pillows. "These pillows are so soft!" she moaned before smashing her face into one of them. She said something else, but the sound was muffled.
Aiden looked up at the ceiling and shook his head. What had he gotten himself into? When he looked back down at Synthai, big opal eyes were already gazing at him.
"Will you take my shoes off?" she asked and lifted her petite foot towards him. With a sigh, he walked over to the bed.
"Sure," Aiden chuckled as he pulled a white sneaker off each foot. Better her asking him to remove her shoes than her pants he supposed.
He could tell her eyes were starting to get heavy and wasn't really sure how much longer he could go along with her antics. "Why don't you go to sleep," he suggested, pulling on the big, fluffy comforter and tucking her in.
Synthai stuck out her bottom lip. "But I'm not even tired," she whined.
"Shhh," he shushed, putting a finger to her lips. "Close your eyes." It wasn't but two minutes of being wrapped in the warm comfort of the hotel bed before Synthai was passed out and softly snoring.
