Gaius/Lissa
Lissa sighed as she stared down at what she had created. The stitch work was messy and the embroidered words on the fabric were barely legible. There was no way she could give this to him. He would surely laugh at it.
"Maybe I should just forget about it..." The princess said sadly as she reached for the scissors nearby. But before she could reach them, she felt the small pillow leave her hands. Her eyes widened as she looked up to see the ginger thief holding the thing she worked so hard to make for him.
"What's this, Princess?" Gaius asked as he looked over the stitching on the pillow. "You trying to make yourself into a pin cushion again?" Lissa gave a small huff at his mocking words. She knew it was all in good fun, but sometimes the things he said stung. The man chuckled a bit at her reaction as he looked over the small pillow again. With every passing second, Lissa's heart raced faster as she worried what Gaius would say about what she had made for him.
Gaius' smiling face soon turned into an expression of shock and disbelief. His face flushed red as he realized what had been stitched into the pillow. Lissa hid her blushing face in her hands as she mentally prepared herself for rejection. But to her surprise, it never came.
"Man, your embroidery really needs work, Princess. I almost didn't catch what you were saying here." The thief was smiling again, his face still a light shade of red. Lissa stared up at Gaius as her head swirled with emotions. He chuckled again at her dumbfounded expression. "But I gotta admit, this is a pretty cute way of telling me you love me." Hearing him say that just made Lissa blush even more.
"So..." Lissa began, still nervous of how he would respond. "Does that mean you like me too?" Gaius paused for a moment as he thought of how he would reply. Their time together so far had always been fun to him, and he had to admit that she was pretty cute to him. After what felt like ages, Gaius finally gave his reply.
"Guess it does." He smiled as he saw the young princess' face light up with joy and relief. And as he hugged her close to himself, he thought of how fun their future would be. There were a lot of ways he could joke with her now that they were together, and he looked forward to every second of it.
