When Evie finally, finally came home, she almost actually broke down the door to the apartment from the force of her slamming into it in her rush to open it.
"WE KISSED!"
"Good."
Evie did some sort of jiggly dance that in no way described all of the excited buzzing her nerves were doing at the moment—
—and then she saw the massive pile of weaponry carefully organized on the coffee table.
"Kai! Don't you dare scare him away!"
"I wasn't going to. I just had some time on my hands, and my guns looked a little dusty." Casually, Kai continued oiling his beloved Titan. The barrels of the gun were gleaming brilliant from a fresh polish that you could probably use it as a mirror, too.
"Ugh, fine, be that way. I'm going to bed!"
"I'll know if he shows up in your dreams."
"Ugggh."
It was a long while until Evie could even settle down in her bed. She kept twisting this way and that, inwardly screaming in excitement from the fact that Karok liked her back and they kissed today!
It was nearing three in the morning when a soft and soothing violin melody made its way through the walls of her bedroom, and only then was Evie able to close her eyes and doze off with a goofy smile that seemed permanently affixed to her lips.
