4th Wall Star

I guess Gremio needs to cook up another batch of stew for you all. But welcome to our home none the less! But, um...

Maybe we could all do this outside? I know it's cold and there are monsters and all but, really, it's WAY overcrowded in here right now.

-It was an oddly mutual debate. He understood now what she had felt back then after the war. He knew that feeling of just... being alone. How could he have been so cruel? His lack of faith in himself... it had only ended up hurting those around him with a pain that was, in some ways, worse than death. So of course he could forgive her... she had forgive him, after all.

All he wanted, in that very moment, was to be wit her. This was more than childish infatuation... more than a heart made fonder by time and absence. This was...-

Kasumi, I...

-The words hitched in his throat. He could barely speak at all. He only hoped she understood what he was trying to say...-

[She held him tighter. The words could mean anything. They could mean what she wanted them to mean, they could be what she wanted to hear. His words trailed into an endless list of possibilities, but if there was a chance of them taking her from what she could believed them to be, hoped for them to be --but then, whatever she hoped or wished it to be was meaningless in the end, wasn't it...?

No... No, it wasn't. After Rokkaku, with Rokkaku, ever since the war three years ago... this feeling had always been with her, never weakening. So if she could just have this, if she could let herself believe, even pretend. Pretend it was more than her wishes or what she wanted to believe; to gather up the courage to let down her guard and and to challenge her fear of what his words may be and the fear of reality.]

... I do, too...

[There was no strength in her to say the words she wanted, and she felt her face come closer to his chest after saying them. Please, please... Her heart was beating so hard.

Just this one time, just once. While duty was so far away and she could admit what she felt.

Because no matter what, her heart would always remember this.]

-There was an odd bit of peace that came from this. Tir didn't have to worry about Soul Eater stealing her away from him. He didn't have to worry about taking her away from her duties. He didn't have to worry about all of the things that worked against them being together. Not in that moment. They could just simply... be. And it was the most uplifting feeling he had been blessed with in a long time.

But he also knew that it wouldn't last. It was transient. Temporal. It only had as much meaning as it had time. So in that sense... he couldn't waste it. She deserved more. A wordless admittance of love... he needed to complete it.

Slowly, he moved a hand to cup the tip of her chin, tilting her face towards him. In this moment... in this moment he would seal it. He got lost in her eyes then. They had always been so beautiful...

And then, tenderly, he brushed his lips against hers. It was what they both had wanted... right?-

[Kasumi allowed for her face to be brought up to face his, the eyes that she had closed when against his chest opening up to look at him. The pounding of her heart seemed to stop, frozen in the anticipation as they came closer. Her lips parted to meet up to his...

How many times had she nearly thought about such a thing? All before she would become to embarrassed by what she was thinking and cast away the images from her mind. He always had felt so far away, a person she knew she should have nothing else but respect for - there was a reason why he should feel far away. She knew that. Yet now, right there, she could forget all reasons.

It was sweet. The feel of another's lips against her own made her body tingle and brought back the beating in her heart, but she ignored it. With that feeling came the daring courage she had been wishing for, and she took hold of it. Wanting more than to feel just a brush of his lips, she pressed her own more firmer against his as a hand found its way to his cheek and held it.]

-It felt like he had been missing out on the wonderful feeling coursing through him all his life. In spite of all the protests the real world around them gave, and how their situations forced them to be like that, well...

It felt warm and beautiful and just so... right. And he partially wondered how long he could get away with ignoring his other guests to ensure this moment lasted as long as possible. It was worth a shot, but...

Eventually, he pulled back just slightly, though there was a smile where the kiss had left off.-

When I return... I'm returning to you. That is my promise.

-He didn't say "if".-

[Of course it had to end... Her hand fell back down to her side when the kiss was broke off and she opened her eyes once more. To his words, his promise, a smile crept onto her still parted lips. Was the idea of him returning to her still just the both of them still stuck in that moment? Where nothing else mattered.

It didn't matter if it was. Somewhere inside was the ignored knowledge of what going back meant. Having returned back to Rokkaku from Discedo, she knew there was no memories of Discedo. Feelings, perhaps, but nothing she could act on. She didn't want that to matter though. She'd remember, somehow, she would.

She was left speechless for a moment, unable to form - or find - the right words to say back to him. "I love you", "I'll wait"; one too strong of a confession and the other, perhaps, not needed. Instead what came, softly, was...]

Thank you...

~~[Countdown to remembering everyone else: 10, 9, 8...]~~

-It was the happy ending they both deserved after so much turmoil. Maybe a quiet life in Rokkaku was ideal... maybe that was the trick to keeping the Rune at bay. Maybe it all wasn't but... for Kasumi, he had to try. It was what they both needed in the end, after all. To stop finding excuses not to be happy and just...-

We should head back. The others might be getting hungry by now and Gremio's but one man, ha ha...

[Too bad reality hates happy endings, but they for now could think whatever they wanted to.~~Wanna give me the name of the kids?~~]

Ah, yes... I'll give my help in serving your guests, too.

I'm sure Gremio will be grateful.

-~~Son Teo, Daughter Mizuki, IDK I'M NO GOOD AT THIS!~~ He takes her hand in his. They'd do this together.-
