25. pastel
"D-Diane, what're your favorite colors?"
He had his back turned to her as he made stitches across the cloth. He avoided looking at an exposed Diane as much as he could. He didn't want anything more than the blush he already had.
He can hear her cute thumping steps from behind him, almost as if she was deep in thought. "I like light colors, orange and so~" Harlequin nods at that, a bit awkwardly, "Ahh…It suits y-you."
'Bright and warm.' he thought, blushing happily as he stitched a few times more.
He went hunting for orange flowers later that afternoon.
26. kites
He didn't trust humans, much less the things they create. They fought amongst themselves for pointless things. Diane knew that side of him, so she decides to change that.
"King, over here!" she shouts, gripping unto coiled string and an odd diamond thing. "Hold unto this for me, okay?" He watches her in awe as she ran across the street, the silly thing catching wind and rising higher and higher. "Hold unto the string!"
He grips unto it tightly as Diane throws the diamond upwards. "It's a kite! Isn't it great?"
Harlequin laughs from his side of the street -"Yeah!"
27. fragrant
He wondered what Diane would smell like one night, the night after everyone humiliated him with how both his forms smelled differently. The event made him too curious. He snuck out the window beside his hammock.
He cuddled his chastiefol close as he hovered over Diane; her brows relaxed and lips slightly parted. He gulped down a nervous groan as he placed his nose near her hair. His heart thumped loudly, 'It's…a sweet smell?'
Certainly, it wasn't something you'd find ordinarily. It was a fragrant scent and nothing could compare, he thought.
He slept with a goofy grin that night.
End notes:
[1] I'm on a roll today hehe :P. Just one more set to go guys, wish me luck :3.
[2] I highly recommend reading the manga for those who haven't read. The anime picks up/ends around the 100th chapter or so. It adds up to the experience, and you get to follow the flow of things here too. Since some of my drabbles are manga-based. Also, my next works would revolve around the manga a lot. :) I read my manga on kissmanga since it's in a long strip format with no advertisements in between the pages, it's a cool site, so try it out. :3
[3] I'm nearing the end of my first Kiane series, expect more to come! But up until now, there still aren't many Kiane english fics. Please guys, if you want to contribute, you're free to do so. :) Spread the word too, request to fellow writers or so. If any of you want a break from my fic, I found a cute AU fic of King and Diane on Archive of Our Own. It's called wanna be yours by thanatopis. Go have a read and bask in the romance~
[4] I'm tired of speaking like mushroom...XD. Anyway, until the last set everyone! Have a good read!
