Crimson Dust: Realize

I stretch and make my way into the forest. I'm already at a high level but training is always good. It's been a few days since what happened to 3 o'clock. I wonder if Dictator is here today... even though I think it would be akward meeting him now that I realized that I, well, love him.

„I already thought you would be here" Dictator says from behind me.

I jump startled and turn in his direction „Y-yeah!..." /Speak of the Devil/

He smiles „You go a lot into this forest"

I nod „Y-yeah. It's near and easy to Level here. Why are you here so often?"

He looks surprised „I don't really know. I think I like to come here and you are here, too. In this way I can talk to you..." He suddenly looks rather uncertain.

„What's wrong?" I wonder curious.

He averts his gaze „I wanted to tell you... Well, since you problably don't know it... that I'm a... NPC (AI)... and not human..."

„…And? What's the big deal?" /I don't get him. It definitly won't change my feelings! Wait... he doesn't know that I... well, love him/

He perks up „You... don't mind?"

I heavily resist the urge to puch him straight in the face. It should be obvious that I don't mind!

„Of course not!" I yell at him „I love you after all!"

Realizing what I just said my face grows a heavy shade of crimson. He looks at me with a loss of words.

I stutter out my next words „I-I-I-I d-didn't mea-"

I come no further as he silences me by pressing his mouth onto mine. My heart almost stops. Never before have experienced such a peculiar sensation. A strange, unfamiliar wave of heat enfluges my body. He grabs my head with his right hand and pulls me closer with his left one. I can't help but moan as he deepens the kiss even more. I grip his shoulders and lean into him. Once we break apart I catch my breath and lean against his chest. My face is still painfully hot.

He smiles at me „I love you, too"
