CW: DR3 Spoilers

[She follows quietly with him to his room, keeping her hand in his but staying otherwise quiet and letting him process.

This motive had hit him hard, it was clear, even if she was largely untouched. But, if she could help him...]

Comments

[exequte]

[She watches as he flushes and turns rigid and uncomfortable and earnest and honest and willing and painfully transparent and trusting and still respectful of her through it all and is hit by a sudden wave of almost unbearable fondness that pulls her body up and to his until she kisses him, arms coming up to rest around his neck.

The kiss is soft and gentle and chaste and full of all the fondness in her, as sweet as honey. When she finally pulls back, gently, and lets it break, she is truly blushing, but she's also smiling, though it seems shy.]

Um... it might be nice, if you wanted to hold me for a while....

[unpossibilities]

[And...it's perfect. Kaito's face continues to burn bright red - a mercy, considering all the cold - but he gently kisses her in return, and it's chaste, and gentle, and it feels so nice and so right that he'd be shocked to find out that despite them obviously coming from very different places...they had to be made for each other. They just had to be.

Once it breaks, his entire very being is warm. It's perfect. He has nothing in this entire world he could complain about.]

Of course. I'd love to.

[And so he does, gently holding her close.]

...Cuddling is almost necessary in this temperature, anyway. Heh.

[exequte]

[That makes her giggle, and pull him down with her onto his bed before she curls up in his arms, up against him, pressing gently against the warmth of him as she snuggles close.]

I'm pretty lucky too, I think.

[unpossibilities]

[He's tugged down with her, and he ends up laughing as well, holding her close.]

You think? There's plenty of--...no, no, wait, yeah, you are. I'm Kaito Momota, Luminary of the Stars! I'm better than any other guy because that's so!

[A beat.]

That's what a cool guy would say, right~? I'm right. It's true.

[He's obviously joking.]

[exequte]

[She looks up at him with bright eyes, still smiling, still blushing, pressed close against his warmth. Her eyes are almost sparkling at his words, and she giggles.]

Hmm... when you say it like that, I guess I'll have to say you're not cool at all.

[But then her expression softens into something like pleasure as she tucks herself a little better into his arms.]

You're better than that. You're warm. And I'm glad. I'm so glad.

1/2

[unpossibilities]

I'm--I'm not?

[she's right, but she was still so upfront about it...he's not cool...]

2/2

[unpossibilities]

[oh...oh wait. He gets it, and immediately smiles, softening again.]

Well...yeah, I guess the last thing we need is more coolness right now. Yeesh. Though you're pretty warm, too...guess y'should be, considerin' the jacket...

[That's as much hers as is it his now.]

...You deserve to be happy, though. Always.

[exequte]

I am happy. I'm happy right now.
