The Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices Roleplay discussion

Aaron was walking through the forest when he found the spring. He thought "Nice place for swimming." he looked around and snapped his fingers.
Black mist swirled around him and his pants changed into swim trunks. He took off his shirt and dove into the crystal clear water

Susan had been sitting in the cool shade of the low lying trees, her knees bent, her arms folded across her knee caps as she rested the side of her face on top. She had been visiting the spring for about a week now. The clear, blue waters reminded her of the two years her family had spent in Greece, before everything went to hell. The scene was soothing.
Her head jerked up when she heard the quiet splash of something entering the water. Frowning, she assessed the area to see a long form gliding beneath the surface.

Aaron swam to the middle of the lake, the sun's light making the bottom of the lake shimmer. It reminded him of when he used to swim in the lagoons in Hawaii during his summer vacation. He swam to the surface and gasped. He shook his head, sending water flying everywhere. When he stopped, his hair fell perfectly back into place

Susan watched as a dark head emerged from the water and she couldn't help but roll her eyes light-heartedly. This guy was everywhere. If she didn't know better, she would have thought Aaron was stalking her. Resting her head back on her arms, she waited to see if he would notice her or just go on with his business.

Aaron looked around and saw Susan. "Are you stalking me?!" he asked a bit loudly. Ever since he met her at Central Park 2 days ago, wherever he went she was there. It was becoming really weird.

A slow smirk began to turn up her lips and with her head tilted to the side, she kind of looked like the Cheshire Cat. "I was here first, so I should be asking you the same thing," she replied simply, allowing her voice to be carried over the water.

Aaron made a face and said "Whatever." he dove back under the water, making almost no sound as he did

Susan shook her head slightly and closed her eyes, a gentle breeze lifting her hair off of her shoulders. What was his problem? It wasn't her fault that he showed up while she was here. As a lot of Americans would say, it's a free country. He didn't have to give her attitude.

Aaron thought about what he said and his head popped out of the water. "Wanna take a swim?" he asked

"Don't have a swim suit," she told him simply as if the single statement explained everything.

Aaron grinned and pointed his finger at her. Black mist swirled around her and turned her clothes into a bikini. "Now you do." he said trying hard not to laugh

Susan frowned looking down at herself. "What the hell did you do with my clothes?" she demanded, her hands self-consciously moving to cover the multitude of pink scars that covered her body. Unlike Shadowhunters, she refused to take the luxury of using healing runes, so while they had thin, white lines, she had pink, jagged marks marring her skin.

"Those are your clothes, I just changed them." he looked at her scars and said "Hold still" he got out of the water and walked towards her.
He put his hand onto her skin and concentrated. A wave of purple energy flowed over Susan's skin, erasing the scars

Susan sat there, her lips parted in awe. She ran her hand over her bicep which had once held a long scar from the top of her shoulder to the inside of her elbow. The skin was now smooth, no scar tissue to be seen. She could only assume that was what had happened with the rest of her scars. "You didn't have to do that," she said, her fingers creeping along the side of her face and she held in a gasp when she felt that the scar on her temple was gone as well.

"I know, It just felt like a nice thing to do." he said smiling. "Now C'mon let's have some fun!" he said pulling her to come swim with him

Susan allowed him to pull her to her feet and towards the water's edge, but she stopped there. Though it looked shallow, she knew that water this clear was usually deceptively deep. Wanting to make sure she made it past any of the shallower parts, she took a few steps back before getting a running start into a swan dive, her body slicing into the water with the tiniest of splashes.

Aaron dove into the water, not making a sound. When he came back to the surface, he was 6 feet away from the edge. He turned around and splashed Susan playfully

Susan narrowed her eyes at him, none to thrilled to have water splashed into her face moments after surfacing. Two can play at that game, she thought to herself as she slewed her arm across the top of the water, sending a spray of it back at him. She moved back, trying to find something to stand on so she wouldn't have to tread water.

Aaron coughed and then laughed he splashed her again before diving under the surface for cover

Susan turned her face away, only turning back when the water had fallen back. She growled when she saw that Aaron had gone back under the water. "Coward!" she chided, as she looked for his body. He needed to come up some time.

Aaron popped up out of the water and said "Boo!" he splashed her, before diving again swimming a few feet away out of range

Susan managed to contain her startled yelp, letting out a snarl instead as she wiped the water off her face. Glaring at him, she told herself she would be ready when he surfaced again.

Aaron swam back and popped up behind Susan. He snuck up behind her and crawled onto the rock she was on. He put his hands around her waist and said "Got you" before falling off the rock into the water, pulling Susan with him

Susan gasped when she felt him come up behind her, which was probably a good thing because she didn't have any other chances to take in some oxygen before he pulled her into the water. Holding her breath, she placed her hands over Aaron's, squirming in his grip.

Aaron and Susan swam back up to the surface and gasped for Air. He laughed and said "Sorry, I just love swimming, splashing and diving"

Susan narrowed her eyes at him, flicking his wet shoulder. "Clearly," she said, attempting to shake some hair out of her face.

"Oww.." he said, but he sounded amused. He pulled her close to him and said "Now that we're all alone, I need to tell you someting"

"Okaaayyy, spill it," she told him eagerly, whatever irritation that might have been in her vanishing. Curiosity tended to do that to her sometimes.

((Sorry GTG))
"I feel like I really like you, and I don't know why. And I just can't seem to get you off my mind." he said pulling her closer. He didn't mean to, but he kissed her

((kay))

Susan furrowed her brows at his words, trying to think of how to respond. When his body and lips came to press against her's, she simply closed her eyes, not making a move to pull away. She knew she would be lying if she said she wasn't drawn to him, but she was just as confused as Aaron.

Aaron wrapped his arms around Susan's waist and felt his heart racing

She carefully moved her hands up to cup the sides of his face, curiosity mingling with her confusion. This kiss was far different from their first, and she had to admit, a slow fear began to creep into her mind, reality on the edge of her thoughts.

Aaron let out a soft whimper and ran his fingers through Susan's long brown hair

Susan shivered as if her body was longing to press closer to Aaron's to share his warmth, but she refrained from doing so. She kept her eyes shut tightly in an attempt to hold onto the moment for as long as she could, but eventually she couldn't help it as her hands moved to his chest to anchor herself as she inched her lips away from his.

Aaron realized what he just did and broke away. "I'm so sorry" he dove under the water and swam as far away from her. He needed to clear his head

Susan opened her eyes, blinking when Aaron disappeared under the water. Taking a deep breath, she turned away. Her hands moved up to hold her head, palms pressed to her temples. That was a bad idea. She should have pulled away sooner. Now she really was a hypocrite, getting angry at her brother for kissing some random girl at the club and now this. Combing her fingers through her wet hair, she silently began moving towards the edge of the water.

Aaron swam to the bottom of the spring an back up again. His head popped up and he gasped for air. Sighing, he swam to the other shore and got out.
Standing up and drying his hair, he put on his shirt.

Susan heard him emerge from the water as she stepped out. She kept herself from hiding her back, remembering that the scars were no longer there. Angling her head so her words would travel in his direction, she said, "I need my clothes back."

Aaron turned around and pointed at her. A smokey-purple substance swirled around her and changed her clothes back to normal.

Susan sighed softly, pulling a hair tie from her wrist and tying her damp hair back into a knot at the back of her head. She moved towards where she had been sitting before Aaron had shown up to retrieve her book. She debated about saying something to him.

Aaron handed her book and said "Here"
He blushed and said "I'm really sorry for all the kissing, I don't know what comes over me."

Susan took the book from him and avoided his gaze. "Don't be sorry. It wasn't just you," she assured him, not wanting him to be burdened with guilt. He could kiss whoever he wanted. Susan should have taken the same luxury.

"Wait does that mean you...." Aaron trailed off and looked away. Of course not. He may look 'amazing' but all girls thought he was a horrible person

Susan screwed her lips to the side and looked down at her feet. "Yeah. I'm just as confused about it as you are," she replied quietly.

Aaron forced a weak laughed and said "Yeah.." he turned around and looked at the spring
"Beautiful Place Isn't it?" he said

She gazed down at the crystal blue water and nodded. "Yeah. It reminds me that I was happy once," she mumbled, tucking her book under her arm.

Aaron looked at her and asked "Why do you dislike Shadowhunters So much?"

"They took everything from me," she said quietly. That wasn't entirely true. They had certainly tried.

Aaron couldn't help asking "Why"
