Prompt: Kiss
Pairing: Chisaki/Tsumugu
Chisaki has grown up knowing the shine of Ena all her life, the silvery sheen it casts over skin when the light hits it a certain way. It looks different on Tsumugu—his skin darker, not porcelain like hers, and she finds herself studying him as they amble through Shioshishio.
She can sense his heartbeat through his fingertips, entwined with hers, and she wonders if it's faster because of their proximity or because they're in the city he has dreamed of seeing for so long. Knowing Tsumugu, it's probably a combination of both.
They reach her house, finally, and although Chisaki isn't used to seeing Tsumugu nervous—hasn't ever recalled a time, really—she senses a slight uncertainty in his voice when he asks, "What have you told them about me, exactly?"
"Only good things, I promise," Chisaki smiles, squeezing his hand.
Tsumugu presses his lips together and nods. He starts to untangle their fingers, ready to meet her parents properly, and Chisaki feels a burst of pride. There is so much spread out before them, a whole future she'd never considered because she was too embroiled in the past, but now it opens before her, shimmering and wide.
Midway, Tsumugu seems to reconsider and turns back to her, fingers threading through her hair, mouth angling towards hers. She smiles against his lips.
This is a different kind of shining. Tsumugu's touch leaves sparkles in its wake, her skin tingling as the pads of his thumbs trace patterns over her cheeks.
"For luck," he says when they break apart, and though she has never felt short of breath underwater before, thanks to her Ena, she feels a little dizzy now.
A fish darts between them. Tsumugu laughs and Chisaki begins to laugh too, and then her mother is opening the door and wondering, "Well, aren't you going to come in?" and Chisaki watches Tsumugu's skin gleam and thinks, so this is what happiness feels like.
