Enunciation
"You had to give me the option of saying... no." His enunciation of each word was slow and deliberate, as if he was testing the meaning of each before speaking.
"Yes?"
The next moment found her wrapped in his arms and flying towards the floor, landing amongst pillows and blankets that were strune haphazardly across the space, his weight caging her as he let out surprised peals of laughter into her neck, his arms still fit securely around her waist and holding her flush to him. The thick fabric of is Kariginu robe blocking the feeling of his chest from her, but not his warmth.
"What's so funny?" She demanded, fingers finding their way up into his sleeves to grasp onto bare skin.
He sobered slightly, looking down at her with an expression she'd only ever seen on his face once before; on the night she had remembered his name. "You are. Did you really think 'no' was a viable option? I would follow you to the ends of the earth if I could."
And in that next second his lips found hers. Slowly. Softly. Hesitantly. Perfectly.
