He's sitting there, staring off into the distance as if he has the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Maybe he does.
A cool breeze rolls through the valley and his unbound hair whips into his face.
How beautiful.
He scratches the palm of his cursed hand.
I cringe.
He lets out a loud frustrated sigh, and his eyebrows knit together.
I wonder what he's thinking.
As the sun drops low on the colorful horizon, all pretenses of a smile fade from his face.
I don't like it when he looks this sad.
He pats the grass the grass behind him, puts down his staff, and flops backwards and closes his eyes.
I approach him and he doesn't move.
I look down at him and he doesn't move.
I drop to my knees at his head, and he doesn't move.
In one fluid movement, I place a hand on either side of his head and lower my lips to his.
Now he moves.
Violet eyes fly open, and a gasp escapes his throat that I gladly swallow.
He doesn't push me away.
When he responds, I smile against his lips.
I like this.
I think he does too.
When we part, he sits up and looks at me with curious eyes and flushed cheeks.
I just sit there patiently waiting for the question I know will come.
He blinks a few times, opens his mouth only to snap it shut again.
I laugh at this and he glares at me.
"What's so funny?" he asks me.
"You are," I reply, "to be our resident hentai, you sure do embarrass easily."
"I've just never kissed another male before."
"Me either."
We let the confession hang between us, and with our heads together we watched the sun set.
