Kailen paced around the small room just before the holding cells. He had left Katya a message to meet him there. It had been too long dice he had seen her, smelt her, held her... Just thinking about it made him grow slightly more impatient with each minute. He had chosen the cells, since barely anyone ever visits them, except himself. As punishment for what happened, Omari had put him in charge of cleaning the cells, feeding the captives, and any maintenance they needed. Basically, he was a glorified janitor.
He peeked his head out of the door, checking for Kit again, and then retreating sadly when he still didn't see her. Walking down through the cells, he passed Alijah's cage. Alijah had returned to the cells the night before, knowing the full moon was approaching. He sat down outside his cell returning the nod Alijah gave him. He had talked to Alijah about the entire happening between him and Katya up top and down below. Alijah was a good listener, and had plenty of advice for him, and Kailen was overly happy to receive the advice and put it to good use.

Katya was trying her best to walk as quickly and quietly as she could, especially since she hadn't had time to change out of the heels she wore since leaving for the lab. She had managed to switch her white lab coat for a long black jacket, though, to help her maintain an inconspicuous audience as she slipped away. After getting Kailen's message, she had done her best to do the cleaning duties that her parents thought were the best punishment for her, short of being kicked out of the lab completely. She would've rebelled if it had come to that, but as it was, she submitted to their authority and tried not to make faces at some of her dad's or sister's failed experiment messes. The smells alone made her regret going aboveground at all, but the looks of them were repugnant. She was glad to get away now.
She had her golden hair pinned up, knowing that it would make her easily spotten when she was trying to stay on the down-low, and was glad that she managed to make it down to one of the lower levels without so much as being recognised. Even still, she couldn't help being anxious walking alone down there by herself, so she quickened her steps, convincing herself that she just wanted to see Kai again rather than that she was afraid.
Since she wasn't used to walking around in the lower levels by herself, she bit her lip and glanced around, wondering whether she had gone far enough or too far, or if she was lost now. Closing her eyes, she placed her hands against the walls, but unfortuantely she couldn't get a feel of any electricity anywhere near. "Kai...?" she asked tentatively, her quiet whisper sounding almost too loud in the quiet around her. "Kai?" she asked again, voice somewhat louder.

Kailen's head perked up when he heard a soft noise, looking down the hallway. He slowly started to stand when he heard her call his name, and sprang down the hallway knowing it was her voice. At a light jog, he rounded the corner and looked out of the front of the building, frowning since he didn't see her. Emerging from te front door he looked around and saw her bear the wall. His face burst into a smile that covered his face, and a hint of laughter at her covert outfit. "Kit," he said softly, waving for to follow him and went around to the side door, holding it open for her to enter.

"Oh, shut up. It was either this or the white lab coat, take your pick," Katya told Kailen with a roll of her eyes, but she grinned up at him as she passed. Entwining her fingers with his, she pulled him inside right behind her. She turned around and cupped his face, giving him a small kiss. She was glad that she hadn't changed from her heels after all, or she wouldn't have been able to reach. "So, what's the story?" she asked, waving her hand around to indicate the building they were inside, wondering why they were meeting at the cells. "Was 'mari really angry?" she asked, taking her bottom lip in her mouth to bite on it lightly as her expression turned slightly guilty.

Kailen sighed happily as he snaked his arms around Katya's back, resting his hands on her lower back. "I am now the sole cleaner and wolf feeder in this place now. Well we don't really have many captives besides the shifters that have to shift during the full moon," he said with a shrug. "Believe me... Having you in my arms is worth me working in this place," he said, kissing her forehead lightly. "Dad was pretty pissed. He's just happy we're safe. And he's happy at how happy I am now... Which is all because of you... Might I add.."
"So is Liam gonna kill me after Tristan is done?" he said, hoping his playfully chuckle didn't sound as forced as he had to make it. After a moment he sucked in a breath, "Does Mia hate me?" he asked, frowning when he voice cracked annoyingly.

"Oh, well I guess a congratulations is in order!" Katya teased at Kailen's news of being the 'sole cleaner and wolf feeder', as if it were some kind of honorary title. She ducked her head when he said that she was worth being punished, and she tried to hide the light blush that crept across her face by laying her head against his chest. She was filled with guilt once more at the mention of Omari, Kailen's father, being upset for any reason, especially since he had no need to be - he'd gone through so much already. She had to admit that them going aboveground was stupid, and she had cringed at the look on her brother's face when he had heard; her parents hadn't exactly kept quiet while chastising her. On the contrary, she felt much better when she was told that Omari was happy for them, and she beamed winningly at him. "Mummy doesn't hate you, she couldn't. She's thrilled that she could actually think of you as part of our family now," she told him, giggling slightly in rememberance of her mother's reaction when they were finally done with their lectures. Her smile melted from her face at his questions, furrowing her brow a bit before she took a deep breath. "Daddy... wasn't pleased, as you could've guessed, but if he was angry, that's nothing compared to Liam," she said, her voice going quieter. "I can't decide what he's angrier at, that we're together or that we were aboveground; you know how he is," she said, playing with his shirt a bit at his chest to keep her busy so she wouldn't have to look at him just yet. "But like I said, Mum's happy for the three of them!" she assured, not liking that his voice had broken. "And she has nothing on me," she added, grinning crookedly, her eyes spiralling several different colours as she finally met his.

Kailen breathed in her scent when she put her head against his chest. "You... Smell.... Like chemicals..." he said witha chuckle. Though it was masked by her natural scent which his sense flew straight to before smelling anything else. "I'm glad Mia is happy... As for Tristan, well he didn't break down my door and turn me into a science experiment, which I'm grateful for," he said leaning back and twisting a lock of her hair that escaped her up-do. "I couldn't live with myself if I let anything happen to you," he whispered, almost to himself, his skin paling at the thought. "Your brother...well I have no idea what to do about him, except hope he comes around in the future," he said with a shrug.
Looking around the room they were in, it had a desk and a small couch that was rarely used. "Sit with me" he said picking her up and settling himself on the couch with her on his lap. "Best part about me being the only person working this place, we don't have to worry about people popping in to find things to do that would keep us apart."

"Well, that's my punishment. Instead of working with Daddy and Emika, I have to clean up after them," Katya explained, pulling a face at the thought. "I'm not allowed to work at all for a while, until I'm back into my parents' good graces or until Daddy's thought I've had a good enough punishment. You'd better be glad that I've learnt how to block my mind, or I'd get hell for slipping out like this," she teased, finally shutting up to give Kailen time to get a few words in to comment about her family. She smiled in agreement at her mother and nodded her head at his conclusion about her father, but she couldn't quite keep a straight face when it came to Liam. "I want to say that Li won't hurt you, but if he thinks that there might be any reason that he should, I'm glad that you're able to take care of yourself," she told him, not intending to downplay what he was capable of, but not stupidly trying to brush off her brother's actions.
She glanced up when he did, turning to see the desk and the small couch, then back at him in confusion. "Okay," she agreed, making a sound of surprise when he picked her up and thew her arms around his neck. "Warn me next time," she told him in a mock-threatening voice, but she didn't complain. She rearranged herself in his lap so that she was comfortable, then grinned at what he told her about privacy. "Does this mean I get to kiss you whenever I want?" she asked with a smirk, and just to test out her theory, she leaned forward and kissed his nose. "My, that was awesome!" she laughed jokingly, leaning forward so she could hug him and lean her head against his shoulder. "This is nice."

"I'd rather avoid any scuffles with Liam. I mean, I'm not weak, but Liam... Well he's Liam... That says enough," he said witha shrug. He waited for Katya to make herself comfortable and rested his hand on her lap and leaned his head back to look at her. He scrunched up his nose when she kissed it. "That's exactly what that means," he said kissing her along her jaw in short pecks and finishing with one on the lips and then a cheeky grin. "Is Tristan working on anything new? Or top secret?" he asked raising his eyebrows at her. He loved the fact that she and her family were super smart and scientific. He often teased her, calling her a mad scientist, though only jokingly, he did try to learn all the cool secret stuff they did that he would have no idea how to even attempt it.

"Well, don't do anything stupid and I'm sure I can sweet talk him into being nice to you," Katya nodded with a grin. She laughed when he pulled a face when she kissed his nose, and then pinched his cheek. "You're so cute," she told him, making a coo'ing face at him as she pursed her lips together. She was surprised when he started kissing her jaw at first, but she was soon closing her eyes and enjoying the sensation those kisses stirred in her stomach. She wasn't really a girl who was really gushy and anxious when it came to boys, she was her parents' child, after all, but that didn't necessarily make her immune to butterflies. When he kissed her lips, she caught his face with her hands again, cupping it to keep him there for a few moments longer before letting him slip away. "Oh, he's working on plenty, but nothing really new. Just modifications on what we already have to improve them. I think Emmy's on the edge of a break-through, but if she is, she's not telling until she's sure," she told him, then poked her tongue out at him. "And if we were working on anything top secret, I wouldn't be able to tell you, now would I?" she asked, waggling her forefinger in front of him like a teacher chastising a naughty school boy.

"It never hurts to try asking," Kailen replied, giving her his best puppydog face, eventhough the only person it seemed to work on was his mom. "Wait!!! You mean I don't get extra perks for being the mad scientist's boyfriend?" he stopped and frowned, "I am your boyfriend right?" he asked, rememberih they kind of just happened together after the fiasco above ground. "Well I can fix that," he said turning to face her straight on. "Katya Kentarou... Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked, nudging her expectanly, though he was just joking about the whole thing and already considered her his girl, but hearing her accept would be nice.

Katya gave Kailen an 'awww' expression, clearly taken with his apparently successful puppydog face. "This is true, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm going to tell you," she replied, then made an TT expression when he called her the mad scientist. "Exuse me? I thought it was enough of a perk that you get to date the mad scientist's daughter," she pointed out, arching a brow at him and crossing her arms. "And if you call me a mad scientist again, you just might find yourself drugged and on my work table one day with an extra toe or something," she mock-threatened, knowing full well that he wasn't intending to stop calling her that, not that she really cared. She gave him a droll look, one that pretty much said how dumb he was acting. "Yes, Kailen Maxim, I'll be your girlfriend, now where's my ring?" she asked with a grin, looking around as if one would just appear out of nowhere since they were being all formal and it reminded her of a wedding - not that she was ready for that step yet. "Seriously, dude, a doughnut would work," she told him with a laugh.

Kailen's eyes got big and his hair turned bright blue as his eyes darted towards his Chuck Taylors and imagined a big toe next to his pinky toe and shuddered. Shaking his head, he smiled at her loving every bit of her sassy personality. When she said she would be his girlfriend, he laughed and pulled her in squeezing her tightly. Looking down at his hands, he took off one of the dark Tungsten bands he wore on each middle of his middle fingers. "Your gonna have to wait for the fancy ring for this finger," he said playfully kissing her ring finger, not at all thinking about marriage so soon. "But this one I want you to have," slipping the ring onto her thumb which was the only finger it could have possibly fit. "We belong together," he said touching the ring on his finger to the one of hers, making a small clinking sound.

Katya grinned smugly, glad that her words weren't taken lightly and that she was able to unsettle Kailen, if only just a little bit. "I promise I won't deform you," she vowed, raising her right hand and placing her other hand on her chest. "I swear on my heart that I won't do you any harm... unless rightfully deserved," she told him with a nod, squealing a bit when she was crushed against him. She let out a slight sigh, smiling widely as she watched him give her an actual ring instead of the doughnut she asked for, despite the fact that she didn't expect him to have either one. "Oh, I don't mind waiting. I'm fine keeping you in one piece as it is with you just being my boyfriend. I don't want to become widowed before I have a chance to enjoy the beginning of the relationship," she teased, resisting the urge to say some cheesey superhero line when he clinked their rings together. "Of course we do," she agreed, shifting so that she was leaning against him. "But I still want that doughnut..." she added after a few moments of silence.

Kailen breathed a sigh of relief he hadn't know he was holding. He didn't think she would really do anything like that, but he knew she was more than capable of doing it with the skills she possessed. He smiled as she promised nt to deform him, but raised an eyebrow at the added part about if he deserved it. "Woah Woah... Did I hear the word widow?" he teased jostlig her slightly on his lap by moving his legs. He raised his head about to say something when Katya whispered about a doughnut, literally facepalming. "I don't have a doughnut... I have Red Vines, Skittles, and Hostess Cupcakes... I'm trying to lose weight," he smirksd at her gesturing at his stomach which was completely flat and sported a row of clean abs. He stood up, picking her up with him and deposited her lightly on the desk before leaning over and opening a drawer and pulling out his secret candy stash. "I also have a Snickers, some Cheetos, and.... A couple KitKat bars. Those were Mom's favorite, though she denied eating sweets at all. And I never share my stash, except now I'm staring it with you."
