🧴— How long can they go without touching? And what do they do when they finally do touch?

Cheren is pretty patient. When he kisses Diana, his hands either cup her face, lightly grasp her shoulders, or simply remain over her's in her lap. When it comes to intimacy, he always prefers to make sure she is in the right headspace first. But there are times where Diana wants to test him, see just how far he could go, because even he has his limits. There's a hidden desire, a need, for her that he can't ignore for long. He whispers to her, asking for her permission, and makes it clear to Diana that he longs to make her feel good. When he recieves her approval, he says "thank you", like any good boy would, and slides his hand further up her skirt, mumbling praises into her shoulder.

As for Lear, he is not so patient. Whatever he wants, he believes he deserves to have it. However, like Cheren, Diana also wants to test him... though, it's more of a punishment rather than a test and happens a little more often. So, Diana slows him down and tells him to be patient because only good boys get what they want, in time. If he truly needs her that badly, then he can just beg her for it. As much as he resists, he ends up whining for her, promising he'll be good for her. When he (at last) recieves her approval, Lear instantly perks back up and gives her his thanks (how embarrassing!). His hands slide up her back, undoing the clasp of her bra and murmurs against her ear, something about how she'll regret toying with him.

She is escorted back to Lear's villa, albeit a bit tired from moving around all day. In his room now, her coat is gently peeled from her body.

Her clothes are switched for a pale nightgown and lingere to match. Cheren muses about Lear being bored – worried, even – without her around, about a forlorn number of chess games won in her absence, as he brushes her hair. He and Diana share a laugh, and from the bedside, Lear huffs, telling him to shut up.

Cheren asks Diana if she was okay on her own that night. At this, she fidgets with a strand of her hair and quietly admits to missing he and Lear while she was away.

"Is someone feeling needy, by any chance?" The teacher sets the brush down, smiling knowingly, and Diana's cheeks turn pink. She's led to the prince's bed, and after slipping herself under the covers, she finds herself in between her two partners.

"Seems to me, she looks like she wants to be taken care of." Lear, seated on her left, sweeps away a chunk of her hair behind her shoulder, exposing the skin of her neck. "Is that right?"

Slowly, Diana nods. It was a bit embarrassing to be read so easily like this, but perhaps that's part of the reason why she feels so safe around these men.

"Oh, Diana," Cheren sighs, rubbing comforting circles against the small of her back, "It's alright. You can relax."

She's carefully lowered onto the prince's soft pillows and mattress, instantly feeling the hands of her partners gently coil around her waist like vines, their breath warm against her cheeks. She mewls as Cheren kisses quite close to her ear, and Lear's lips press against her cheek.

"You don't have to think about anything else."

"You don't have to worry about anything else."

LORE. A model & dancer born in Kalos. Her father lived in the seaside town Coumarine City as a fisherman and budding inventor, working with small trinkets and antiques such as clocks, music boxes and carousels. Her mother is of the upper class, and fell in love with the fisherman while visiting Coumarine in her youth. Diana was born in Coumarine City, living a quiet and happy life as a child by the sea with her parents, growing to love her father's music box and his stories of the ocean, and discovering a love for music and dance through her mother. She was a natural, learning rather quick for her young age. One birthday, Diana recieved a shiny Furfrou, a gift from both of her parents, to be her companion, and she was so very happy to recieve a Pokémon of her own. Diana's father treasured her, wishing for nothing more than her happiness and finding love. If she followed her heart, she would get what she desires. But then, at one point in Diana's childhood, her father passed while out at sea, and her life slowly turned gray.

Diana's mother, in her grief, began to obsess over molding her into the perfect picture of grace and beauty – all to continue the family legacy. Diana spent more time practicing dance, piano, and cello, but her mother cared more about her precision rather than her enjoyment. Diana could not speak her true emotions about anything, being taught to nod and smile and obey. To lie to herself, and only feel her true, vulnerable self when no one is watching her. Now a lady, Diana moves to Lumiose City and meets Diantha, who takes her under her wing to debut as a model and soon, actress. Diana's passion for music and dance remained, as it is something that serves as an escape to her now. A back door to the secret gardens of her mind. Performing is all she has, and in her mind, it is all she'll ever be – a beautiful bird in a cage, only to be appreciated and gazed at from the outside. But, is she truly inside, or is she on the outside looking into the lives of others from the pedestal she sits on?

PERSONALITY. Diana is a quiet girl, at times, preferring silence to conversation. That isn't to say she isn't observing everything around her, listening. Though she often pretends she doesn't feel her true emotions, when she does, she feels them quite strongly. Diana is clever and passionate, underneath her calm and collected exterior, and is a romantic at heart. Adores dance, the piano and cello, her father's old music box and other antiques or trinkets, chess, poetry, and museums.

APPEARANCE. Diana has fair skin, silvery blue eyes, and long silky ash blonde hair often held back with a ribbon or worn loose adorned with a headband. Fond of the dark academia and gothic lolita styles.

THE JOURNEY TO PASIO. In Kalos, Diana recieves a letter pressed with a wax seal bearing an unfamiliar crest, the contents entailing a plan she had no memory of being a part of. That is, being married to a prince from a faraway country – arranged by his father and her mother, apparently – all to boost their respective families' statuses. In delicate cursive, she reads his name, "Lear Alik Falstelo."

But, that, is a story for another time...
