Harlan watched as Aria started to wake up, with his finger tickling her back. He was tempted to carry on with running his finger up and down her scar, but he decided against it, since she had just woken up from her sleep. She turned around and looked at him, giggling at his innocent tickle. She brought the sheets up to her face, covering herself and the blush that she had developed. "Good morning, Harlan," was the only thing that he had heard through the sheet. Her voice seemed to be more hoarse than usual, mainly because of the screaming during last night. As she rolled towards him, she looked up at his eyes, seeing the gold within hers before turning into the amber that he knew and loved. For some reason, the gold that he saw earlier was something that made him fascinated by her. So far, his eyes was the usual green that everyone sees. Unknown to him, with the petering light that was entering his room, his eyes were glowing a gentle emerald.

"Good morning, beautiful…" Harlan said, smiling down to the wakened Aria. He lowered his head and kissed her on her forehead, closing his eyes. When he lifted his lips from the kiss, he looked down at her, looking into her amber eyes. "So… what do you want to do today?"

"Good morning, beautiful…" Harlan said, smiling down to the wakened Aria. He lowered his head and kissed her on her forehead, closing his eyes. When he lifted his lips from the kiss, he looked down at her, looking into her amber eyes. "So… what do you want to do today?"

She blushed when he called her beautiful and closed her eyes a moment when he had kissed her forehead. Aria peered up at him for a moment when he asked her the question.

"I'm not sure," she murmured. She looked down for a moment as she was considering her options. "Shall we do surveillance first or relax...? I want you to choose, seeing as you're the tourist here." She smiled softly at her own joke. He was a tourist in her hometown of where she lived for awhile before she had moved back to the US. "We could relax first though..." A mischievous glint touched her eyes again as she began to trace shapes on his chest. Despite the fact that she has a slight hoarse voice, she wanted to hold him again... the feeling of slight insecurity was there. She had a dream that he had and was being taken from her by an unknown force. Suddenly, she stopped tracing her finger on his chest and her eyes darkened.

She had a dark expression cross her face when she realized that the dream she had wasn't really about Harlan being taken from her. She was the one being taken from him. Why? Her mother had told her that sometimes, Aria would have dreams of the future that involved her loved ones. Did that mean that the dream she had last night was something that was going to happen...?

"Never mind... Let's do surveillance first," she murmured, her sudden mood to do it again already gone.

---------------------

The next few days, all Aria and Harlan did was surveillance and scooping and planning. They even argued about certain points of which would be a good access and which would be the wrong one as there was a lot riding on this mission. For the first time, their relationship was tested through all the arguing for which would be a better place and for where they would not get caught. Bitter words flew, biting the other, and then silence riddled the small apartment when they came back.

Aria would lick her wounds and then wait for awhile until she can't handle the silence and the lack of talking to him. They had finally finished planning the plans of where and how they would get in, and tomorrow is the day of the meeting so they ought to recuperate before the mission starts. Seeing as it was their last night before who knows how long that they'll be together, Aria sighed and spoke up first as she was slipping on her nightgown after she had showered. Harlan had already showered before her, sitting in bed, trying to find an English speaking channel.

"I'm sorry, Harlan," she said softly, covering her chest with her arms and her hands on part of her face. It was the first time she felt shy towards him and that they had to argue like that so viciously at each other. It had felt so new to her to argue with her companion, her best friend, her lover, like that. She stepped timidly towards him.

"I'm not sure. Shall we do surveillance first or relax…? I want you to choose, seeing as you're the tourist here." He smiled at the joke that she had made, even though it was true. This was the first time that he had visited this country in a long time, so he was hazy with the whereabouts of the landmarks. He listened as she traced shapes on his bare chest. "We should relax first though…" He noticed the mischievous glint in her eyes, knowing what she wanted. All of a sudden, she stopped tracing her fingers on his chest and an overlook of a dark expression took hold of her. He didn't know what was on her mind, but it made him uneasy. Then, she spoke again. "Never mind… Let's do surveillance first." Slowly, both of them got out of bed and get ready to do their surveillance check.

-------------------

During the few days, both Harlan and Aria started to look around the Taipei 101 building, seeing how they could escape from the building when they had 'succeeded' their mission. Harlan doubted that they would succeed, especially after reading the documents on Damien's hard drive. However, the past few days had been hard on both of them, with the GA's famous disputes between the partners eruption on both sides. Both of them argued over how they were going to execute the mission, which was the first. Nasty words flew in both directions, causing them to spend most of the time quiet. On rare occasions, Harlan had left her apartment to go on walks around the vibrant city, snarling at passersby who formed happy couples. On the night before the actual mission itself, his patience snapped when she had slapped him across his face, the red mark still lingering on his cheek. Since then, he had remained silent and, on most occasions during their time in the apartment, snarled at her. He flicked through the TV channels, seeing if there was any programs that spoke English. He heard Aria speak to him. "I'm sorry, Harlan."

At first, seeing that she was his companion and lover, Harlan wanted to forgive her for the past few days. However, the tight sensation that was left on his cheek made him stick with his original plan of ignoring her. He turned his head towards her and glowered at her. He was certainly not allowing her to forget what she had done to him. A few seconds later, he turned his head back towards the TV and cursed, unable to find any English-speaking channels. Then, still somewhat dressed in his jeans, he pulled on a T-Shirt and looked towards her. "I'll be out on a walk for an hour," he spoke, showing no emotion in his voice. "I'll see you when I get back." He grabbed his coat and walked out of the apartment, slamming the door behind him. In a few minutes, he was out of the apartment and started to mingle with the night crowd.

During his walk, he thought about the mission, Aria and his past. The main thing that he had concluded was that he wasn't angry at his lover for the past few days and the arguments. He was angry that for five years, he was chasing something that wasn't even there. Damien had lied to him that he was going to tell him of his past and, with the possible threat of losing his only identity, he would never find out who he was and why those hitmen had attacked them, killing Monica in the process. Feeling angry for what has happened, he turned into a dark alleyway, unknown that there was a person that was waiting for someone to enter it. Producing a knife at him, the man walked closer to him, speaking something in Mandarin. The hitman's eyes glared murderously at him and the knife. "You have chosen the wrong person to mess with, mate. I suggest that you…" Before he could finish his threat, the man charged at him, lunging the knife at his stomach. Harlan dodged it, starting to lead the man deeper into the alleyway. When they were deep enough and out of sight of passersby, he allowed the man to lunge at him again. As usual, he dodged the knife. Instead of going around the man, he grabbed the man's wrist and smashed into his lower arm, breaking the bone into two. The man was about to cry out in pain when Harlan whipped his body around and pulled the arm out of its socket, dislocating it as well. Just as the man thought that this was the most pain that he was going to face, the hitman karate chopped him at the base of the neck, snapping his neck. The man was already dead before his body had hit the floor. Seeing that there was no use left of leaving the man in the middle of the alleyway, he threw the man into a dumpster and walked away.

An hour later, he arrived back at the apartment building. His thoughts on the argument earlier were long gone, even though the red mark of the slap was still on his face. Sighing, he turned and walked into the building and started to head on up to the apartment, hoping that Aria wasn't angry at him for his angered leaving. He opened the door, managing to pick the lock with a few things in his pocket, seeing her. He looked at her, the glower long gone. "I've been thinking… I have overreacted. Can you forgive a callus bastard like me?"

After Aria apologized, she saw something that seemed to linger in his eyes, as if he was considering on taking her apology. However, she had been the one to slap him and she was crestfallen when he didn't speak to her and her heart nearly shattered when he spoke the next words.

"I'll be out on a walk for an hour," he spoke, showing no emotion in his voice. "I'll see you when I get back."

She could only watch him leave, her heart breaking further as she heard him do so. She collapsed where she stood and cried. She should have knew better, she should have known that she should control herself more. Thinking that it was late and better turn in early, she got up with weak legs to turn off the lights in the apartment and crawled into bed. Then she curled up and cried softly, feeling regret that she ever slapped him. It felt like he had run away from their conflict of their argument and that he might not come back...

After a half hour, she had calmed down enough that she got up and looked at the books that her mother often gave her to read. Mostly, they were musical scores of music and such, but Aria treasured them nonetheless. The one thing her mother had taught her was to sing and play the violin. She walked into the closet and found the violin case and lifted it off its shelf and opened it. She flicked the book of the music book to a page she liked listening to when she felt sad and began to play it, readjusting the musical instrument that she had not yet touched in so long.

She felt exhausted by the time she finished playing, hearing the familiar click on the door.

"I've been thinking… I have overreacted. Can you forgive a callus bastard like me?"

Aria didn't say anything as she put down the instrument. Softly, she set it down before she spoke up in a near whisper, "Overreacted...?" She didn't say anything else as she placed the instrument back into its case and closed the book. She turned to face him in the dark, the filtering light of the moonlight casting a strange light about her that almost made her seem... ethereal. At that moment when she looked at him, her eyes almost seemed to glow gold. "You overreacted, just a touch, Harlan... but I love you nonetheless and I would be stupid to not forgive you." She looked down with a sad expression. "I thought I had lost you when you left... but you came back..." Her voice cracked near the end, as if she was on the verge of tears again. She never wanted to lose him, not ever.

"Overreacted…?" Harlan was bracing himself for what Aria had to say next, thinking that what he has done would spark another argument with her, which is something that he didn't want to face again. The look that she had was mesmerizing him. The appearance that she had was so unusual to him that he thought that she had come from another place, though where exactly is something that he wasn't sure. He could feel her gold eyes looking at him when his green eyes shone a gentle emerald back at her. "You overreacted, just a touch, Harlan… but I love you nonetheless and I would be stupid to not forgive you. I thought I had lost you when you left… but you came back…" When she had said her last sentence, her voice cracked. He knew that she was about to break down into tears.

He walked up to her and embraced her, whether her arms were going around his or stay where they were, with her hands on her chest. "As I have said, Aria Ingrid, I will never leave your side. We may have our arguments, but my love to you will always be stronger." Harlan lowered his head and allowed his lips to touch her collarbone, though leaving it there as his head was resting next to hers.

"As I have said, Aria Ingrid, I will never leave your side. We may have our arguments, but my love to you will always be stronger."

She couldn't say anything as her sobs choked her, trying to keep in rein her emotions from spilling over. He came back and that was all that mattered. Yes, they may have their arguments, but that makes them only human. Her arms had been left at their sides as her legs gave out from the relief.

"Yes, Harlan," she said softly as he leaned down to kiss her collar bone, causing her to shudder as he again had kissed a sensitive part of her. Her feelings of relief was then quickly taken over by another emotion that she couldn't figure out. It wasn't lust nor was it the feeling of wanting to really do anything other than love Harlan. Was it because she was becoming aphrodisiacal with that kiss? She wasn't sure as she felt her nightgown's strap fall to the side of her shoulder, revealing her bare shoulder. She lifted his face to her own and kissed him. She was still slightly angry with the fact that he had left like that and decided that she was the one that was going to be the one to play with him tonight.

Then she kissed him passionately, deepening the kiss as this time, she played the role of the more dominant one, however, that didn't mean she can't be kissed senseless. Her fingers curled around the hem of his shirt and pried it off over his head as she began to leave butterfly kisses along his chest, his collar bone, his neck, jaw line, and then finally his lips again.

Harlan felt her shudder as his lips touched her collarbone. He didn't care if he had touched one of her sensitive parts. The only thing that he wanted was to show her that he was sorry for what he had done earlier. Just as he thought that the kiss was enough, she lifted his face up with her own and kissed him. As they started to kiss, feeling the passion that was coming from it, he could feel that she was trying to be dominant one in this kiss. Instead, acting rather sly, he started to act like he was the passive kisser in this. Just before Aria took his t-shirt off, he started to act as the dominant one, just to surprise her. Then, feeling her take his shirt off and butterfly kiss him from his chest upwards, he fumbled with the straps of her nightdress, allowing it to flow down off her slim body. Then, he placed one hand on her side and placed the other on her hip, his thumb touching the tattoo that she had. He slowly moved the hand on her side up and down.

Aria knew that Harlan would try to be sly, after what so many times that she knew what he would try and make her the not-so-much-the-dominant one. Not this time, she was going to be dominant and instead of her wanting him, he's going to be the one who is going to be wanting her... badly.

Pushing him against the wall, she began to suckle on his ear and whisper things that she knew would make his toes curl and his hair stand on ends. She began to leave more butterfly kisses on his body, even on his back. Her fingers then began to cast magic on his body in places that Harlan probably wasn't expecting, as Harlan has always been the first to do that kind of magic first and she always broke first. Before he could do anything to turn the tables, she pulled his arms around to his back and handcuffed him and then licked his spine.

Forcing his torso against the wall, she suckled on his ear again and then kissed his neck, her body resting against his bare back. Then, being careful, she pulled his head back slightly so that she could kiss him upside down, again, being passionate in the kiss. "You can't escape me," she breathed as she looked in his eyes before descending to kiss his neck and then his back again.

Harlan felt himself being pushed against the wall, feeling Aria suckling his ear and whisper in his ear. His hand stretched out at the suggestive things that she had said, making his toes curl and making his hair stand on end. The butterfly kisses started to go all over his body, arousing him while she did that. Before long, the magic that he usually had given her was turned on him as she started to cast things on him. Thinking that he could do something about it, he moved his hand towards her. A few seconds after he was about to touch her with his hand, both of them were behind him, handcuffed. Her tongue came across his spine, making him shiver. She suckled his ear and kept kissing him, seriously making him want her more and more. A kiss from her came next, with his head pulled back gently. "You can't escape me." She had looked at him in the eyes, then started to kiss his neck and back again. Although he was lavishing the moment, there was a menacing glint that was in his eye, just appearing after she started to kiss his back.

Aria didn't see that menacing glint that had appeared in his eyes so she continued to kiss his back. She moved him so that he now had his back against the wall, so that he now faced her as she kissed his neck and then down his chest to his stomach and then lower. Her fingers helped as she unbuttoned his pants before continuing to do her magic upon him, her hands moving up to hold his back to hold him still from squirming. After she had her fill, she moved up to kissing his body again, licking the places she knew that he was sensitive. Then she finally descended onto his lips, kissing him as she hungered for him.

"Harlan..." she breathed his name that was enough to send him over the edge.
