To Tie Us Together

Chapter 2: Making it Perfect


Shizuru placed her hands gently on Natsuki's shoulders. She watched for a moment as her love played through Neverwinter, waiting until a good moment for her to take a break. Once it looked like the action had calmed down, she reached her arms down and wrapped Natsuki in a hug. "Na~tsu~ki~" she said, in her best alluring voice.

As the fighting died down on screen, Natsuki felt a pair of arms wrap around her. She certainly couldn't resist that voice. "Yes?" she said.

"I'm just getting excited," Shizuru said. "Our wedding's coming up soon, after all. It's hard to believe, but just... it makes me so incredibly happy." Tears briefly filled Shizuru's eyes as she spoke, but she didn't fight them.

Turning around in her chair, Natsuki pulled Shizuru to her. Shizuru shifted her position gracefully, and Natsuki soon wound up with her love in her lap. A smile was on Natsuki's face, reaching her eyes. "I know. I'm excited too."

Shizuru's eyes met Natsuki's, and she smiled back at her love. She slowly leaned in, bringing her lips to gently touch Natsuki's. Her lips moved slowly against those of her love, feeling every slight motion of them. With every motion, every sensation, she felt her chest grow warmer, her heart filling even more with love.

Natsuki softly hummed, gently kissing Shizuru back. Her arms pulled her fiancée closer, enjoying the closeness and intimacy of their kiss. When at last they parted, Natsuki gazed into Shizuru's eyes. "I love you."

Shizuru brought her hand up to Natsuki's cheek, gently cradling it as she gazed back into her love's eyes. "I love you too, my dear fiancée," She said. "My Natsuki." It was finally happening. Just a few weeks left now, and Natsuki would be her wife.
