The village was on fire with how the lanterns lite up the night sky. Rin was mezmerized by the sights. She could smell fried foods, covered in sweet and sticky sauces. Her senses were drowned in the sounds, sights, smells, and sensations.
She bounced around the street intoxicated by the sights and smells. She stuck to Law's side not wanting to be separated from him. Law's attention seemed to be else where, but his hand had snatched Rin's a little while ago. Rin led him to shops, booths, and crowds.
She was enjoying her time in the beautiful festival and spending it with Law. She would find herself peeking looks at Law, as they walked. She liked the way he held her hand, her face felt hot every time she looked at him. She kept smiling the whole time. Rin wandered around the festival, not ever sure of where she was.
They had sat to watch a play about the god of winter. The actors dressed all in white, even their hair was dusted white. They moved elegantly and told the story with their bodies. Rin was mesmerized by the performance, Law was not as taken by it as she was. As they were leaving the play a women handed Rin a white mask and gave her a sweet smile. Rin put it on and starred at Law until he noticed.
"How do I look?" She asked him when he had looked down at her. He just shook his and led her down the street. She slipped the mask off and giggled to herself. She tided the mask to a side loop on her pants, the white mask blended in with her white sweater and popped off her slim black pants tucked in black boots.
"Thank You" Rin said out of the blue as they walked. Law looked down at her, not expecting her to say that. "For taking me to this festival and taking me on as a crewmate." She continued, her eyes where closed. Law watched her for a second before opening his mouth.
"Yeah" Was all he said. Rin smiled wide as she began to run, pulling Law with her. She ran out of the village and up a path. She came to a frozen pound, with frozen lotus flowers poking out the sheet of ice.
"It's pretty, isn't it? Those ladies from yesterday told me about it" Rin set her left foot on to the ice, then her right. The ice held her weight as she slid her feet across it. She knelt down to one of the lotus flowers, and cut it at the base. She slipped the knife back into her boot, before she slid off the ice.
She handed the preserved flower to Law. "You can have it" She smiled to him, he held the flower for a minute or less before setting it back into her hands.
"Its yours" He said to her, her face flushed as she looked at the flower in her hands. She looked around the preserved scene, trying not to look at Law. She could feel him watching her, and the heat of her hands were melting the frost. Her stomach knotted itself, filling with butterflies.
Law grew a smirk on his face as he watched her. She tried not looking at him, but never moving her feet. Her heart was close to almost beating out of her chest. The sound audible to both of them. She just now becoming conscious of how she felt about him. She wanted to tell him how she felt, but could not find the words.
Her mouth opened and closed, every time her blush grew redder and redder. Her face had become almost the shade of her hair. She was trembling slightly as she tried to say something.
"Law...I...I..." She tried to find the words but could not seem to find what to say. Rin looked up at him, studying his expression, as she did this Law held her hand and bent down, and softly kissed her. It lasted a second, but for Rin it felt like forever. She touched her lips with her fingers. Her face growing redder.
"Law, I love you" She finally finding the words. He smirked "I know" He kissed her again.
