*Changed the Gothic Cross costume a tad. Skirt= shorts
The red haired human hadn't heard the Shura sneak up, hadn't heard her soft footsteps over the lush grass or her stifled breathing as she grew near. For the first time in a long time, the young hermit was not at his usual haunts. Instead he had walked out to a safe hill in the North Eversun region over looking the crystal clear water of the Eversun river.
Whomp.
Thankfully his sword wasn't still on his back…
"Morning Ash! Fancy meeting you here." Aysu chuckled, pushing herself up so that she straddled the hunter's waist, hands splayed on his chest. 'Tacklehuggle': one of the most efficient attacks in Aysu's little arsenal. It was more effective when the girl was wearing something more revealing than the shorts of her Gothic Cross outfit.
"'Fancy meeting' indeed, sense you invited me out here." Ash remarked as his hands slid up to rest on the Shura female's hips. She grinned.
Sitting up more, Aysu brought her backpack up (setting it on the man's chest). "Well, last time I went over to the house, I noticed you hadn't used, or moved, that money I returned to you."
"I told you I didn't want-"
"So I thought I'd try to force you to take it." Aysu interrupted, a trait she was known for. Her nimble hands dug through the knickknacks and bug eggs until she produced the money bag he had set on the table months before.
Ash sighed. "If I didn't take it than, why would I take it now?"
"Just opened the damn bag and take what's in there or I'll never let you feel me up again and I will never wear that dress."
"Low, my dear…." With a grunt, the hermit pushed himself up, Aysu sliding off to sit on the grass beside him, purple eyes wide as she watched him open the bag.
"Aysu…."
"Well, I couldn't get you to take the money back and I couldn't afford the present by myself. So I did the first thing that came to mind." explained the Shura hastily. "It's kinda girly, but you could always hide it."
Inside the bag, was a glittering, gold, box link necklace, and dangling from a gold loop was a sparkling, sapphire scarab.
"The chain I had to buy, but the buggy piece I found in the attic." Ash took the girl's hand, placing the necklace in it.
"I can't accept this, Aysu. It's to…"
Aysu leaned forwards, wrapping the chain around the man's throat. She pulled back to place kisses on his cheeks, foreheads, and finally, lips. "You don't really have a choice." She teased. "Happy Valentine's Day."
Reaching out, Ash caught the Shura before she could pull away, catching her lips in a kiss.
