Summary: Hesperia drags Nathalie out on a midnight adventure much to her chagrin and anxiety but perhaps he can prove to her that this little outing was worth it for both her and someone else.
“I don’t think you realize how risky this is,” Nathalie grumbled for what seemed like the hundredth time in the past hour.
“Shh!”
The soft pad of Hesperia’s pointer finger met the bow of her lips.
She scoffed, a flurry of both slighted annoyance and poignant worry swarming through her. Her voice pitched to a slightly higher, reverent whisper.
“You can’t be out here! Bobbling about! Out in the open! You can’t—”
“Shh! Look…” Hesperia interrupted, his voice low, his gaze focused on something in the shadows of the forlorn alleyway.
The eeriness of this little secret midnight escapade left a tangle of knots in Nathalie’s stomach, causing the hairs on the back of her neck to stand on end.
She huffed as Hesperia gently set her down on the cool pavement, his hands remaining on her shoulders. She blinked, allowing her eyes to adjust to the darkness surrounding them.
She gasped.
It wasn’t obvious right away, but if she looked closely, she could see the outline of what looked to be a little insect… something white? A moth perhaps? Or…
“A kamiko?” Nathalie murmured, her hand instinctively reaching out for the little creature.
“Look closer…” Hesperia whispered, his lips grazing against her ear.
Nathalie’s brows furrowed. The kamiko’s wings fluttered quickly, but it did not take off. It was stuck, somehow trapped between two throngs of twisted barbed wire covering the security gate blocking one side of the alleyway.
“Oh, the poor thing…” Nathalie cupped her hands, leaning closer.
“How come it won’t come to you?” Nathalie asked, while trying to coax the kamiko forward from its mini prison.
Hesperia chuckled, his blue eyes glistening.
“This one isn’t attracted to me.”
Nathalie snorted and couldn’t help but roll her eyes at that comment.
“Oh, please, how can a butterfly not love a butterfly-loving man like yourself?” she asked, teasing.
Hesperia smiled, soft and fond.
“Because kamikos respond to emotions, especially strong ones like love.”
Nathalie’s face heated, but she covered it well with another eye roll, though she was distracted by the feeling of a soft, tickling flutter against her palms.
She looked down to see that the little kamiko had made its way into her hands. She smiled, her heart melting as she nurtured it.
“Oh, and look at that,” Hesperia mused, “he’s found a home… with you,” Hesperia paused, a smirk on his lips as he kissed her cheek, “just as I have.”
Nathalie grinned, pressing her lips to his. She opened her palms between their embrace and set the little creature of wonder free.
