Aspiration

"Tell me more." He urged, fingers idly playing with a strand of her hair as they lay amongst the bedding in the messy, communal space. Legs as intertwined as feasible with their restrictive clothing, merely reveling in the closeness and the intimacy afforded with such a luxury. "We still have until the light touches the sky before we can even consider returning to the mortal world, and I want to know everything I missed."

"Well," she started, shifting closer to him and pressing her shoulder into his chest, and his other arm that was supporting his weight moved to cushion her head bringing them face to face. "It's my aspiration to become a famous painter. My studio is actually located on the bottom floor of my house; just up the way from the entrance to your lake. If my sense of direction was right, my house probably sits right over top of it."

"So the entrance is close to where you reside, is it?" There was a faint smirk touching upon his lips, but she didn't read much into it, instead turning slightly to press her face into his chest, and the hand that was playing in her hair smoothed down her side to anchor itself around her waist.

"Mhmm. I usually jump off the cliff right behind my house when I want to go swimming, and right around the corner is the cove; the entrance is carved out of the cliff face there, headed inland. It's so beautiful Kohaku; I think you'll love it there."

"I still have to win it first." He murmured against her forehead, and the implication was clear. I have to win you first.

Note: -Yawns- Afternoon everyone. I just rolled out of bed so ya'll are getting an update before I've even have breakfast. Aren't you so lucky.
