[No one had ever said her name like that; a way that made her breath hitch and her knees weak. It barely lasts two seconds, yet the effect lingers dangerously. She'd thought names and such couldn't possibly bear any real importance. She was... wrong.

It makes her want to hear his more.

There are two things that Maki knows. First, that his name is Chinese. Second, that it's important. More than one reason exists for such secrecy. She'd come face to face with them several times in her life. The reason doesn't matter. It matters that she knows-- that she was let in, allowed to come in contact with this intimate part of himself.

Yan Qing...

[Her voice treats the foreign name like a magnificent work of art, unique and beautiful. It's soft, softer than she has any right to be.

The grip on his clothes loosens and her right hand comes up to brush against the side of his face, tracing the curve of his jaw. As it slid to the back of his head, she pushed herself up on the balls of her feet and rekindled the kiss. Arms loop around his neck. Gentle, where her kiss is an uncontrollable flame.

She's contained and suppressed the part of her that was most human for so long that when it comes out, it breaks out wildly. Maki has a long way to go if she ever hoped to restore that. But it was still there inside of her. It wasn't as dead as she liked to think.
