Ce smiled in a way that made Da's heart miss a beat. It was their first moment alone since her return from Italy, and she'd be lying if she said she wasn't looking forward to it. She blushed and glanced away. "Do you want something to drink?" she asked, slipping away into the kitchen.

"Got a coke?"

"Should," she said distantly. Ce stretched as he walked down the small walkway to her couch. Plopping down, putting his arm over the top he rested his leg on the coffee table and took a deep breath. He had missed her apartment. More importantly, he had missed her. She came walking out, carrying a coke can and a glass of tea. "Pick out a movie," he said. She nodded, smacking his leg, before going to her movie collection.

She put one she was sure he would enjoy, at least more then Gone with the Wind or Titanic, and made her way back to the couch with the DVD remote. He looped his finger through her belt loop and pulled her almost into his lap. She gave a small 'eep' before settling against him. "Did you have an okay day?" she asked, skipping the previews.

"It was okay. Took forever though, since I planned on coming here."

She blushed. "It was actually kind of nice to just be at home today. Thankfully nobody called. I loved my trip to Italy, but it's getting tiresome retelling my tales to everybody. I'm only glad Xiao went to. I can send most her way."

"You're so evil," Ce said, wrapping his arm around her waist. "Now shush. Movie is starting." He whispered the last into her ear, making her give a small shiver. As the movie played, Ce slowly inched his hand under her shirt. Da ended up jumping, but it was Ce's face that twisted up in confusion and shock. His thumb, while crawling its trail up, had grazed over something smooth and round.

"Ce!" Da said, jaw dropping as he twisted around and pinned her on the couch. "What are-stop!" she hissed, her face doing a wonderful impression of a cherry. Ce ignored her, and lifted her shirt just under her bra, simply because he still remembered how modest she was. He was surprised to see a little pearl stud in her belly button. His girlfriend, Da Qiao, had gotten her bellybutton pierced. He glanced up at her, to see her blushing, lips pressed together tightly in anticipation.

"When were you going to tell me about this?" He asked, circling the piercing. Her stomach gave a lurch and she giggled. She was rather ticklish.

"Later."

"Later?"

"When I thought of a way to broach the subject," she mumbled. "Do you not like it?"

"It's shocking, but hell if I don't think it's sexy."

"It was a dare by some of the classmates. Xiao ended up picking to get a tattoo."

"A tattoo?"

"Yeah. They said we had to get a piercing or a tattoo. She got a little panda and a butterfly on her lower back. I wanted a piercing since, if I didn't like it, I could always just take it out." She was almost whispering, and chewed on her bottom lip when she finished.

"I like it. Wouldn't have ever thought you to be the one to get a bellybutton ring, but I'm not going to complain. Though…" he said, trailing off as he stared at the little pearl. Really, it was so going to ruin the moment, but he couldn't resist. He'd probably never get the opportunity again, if he though about it. Unless he wanted to ruin a real moment. Smirking evilly, he glanced up at her. "It does give me a perfect reason to do this."

"What?" Ce lowered his head and blew on her bellybutton. Da shrieked and started kicking and jerking to get away.
