Emira paused for a moment as they sat together in Hexside; Edric was passed out beside her, his soft snores making Emira smile faintly in the dimly lit halls. On her other side was Alex. In the quiet, Emira murmured, “I know things are kind of fucked right now...but this very instant...it isn’t so bad, huh?”
Maybe it was the fact that it was a quiet moment between the chaos that was their current situation and maybe it was just her finally coming to terms with her feelings. But Emira turned her head and kissed Alex’s cheek, dangerously close to his lips. Then, without another word, she rested her head back against the locker with a smile.
It was peaceful for one of the few times in Hexside after all the fiasco with Belos and now the Collector and Boscha inside Hexside, at least Boscha was taken down and things were a lot calmer in Hexside. This was about as close as he could get to having a romantic moment with Emira, so there was a slight blush on his cheeks as he enjoys the moment.
Hearing Edric’s snoring shattered that moment, but he would lightly laugh, looking over at Ed, to make sure he was alright. He would listen to her words and smiles nodding his head, resting his head against the locker. “Times like this, everything feels almost separate from what is going on.” He answers lightly, unsure if his blush was showing.
Feeling Emira’s lips on his cheeks, Alex let out a quiet, surprised, and flustered eep of surprise. He wasn’t expecting the contact and the darkened blush on his cheeks would give away his response.
He would look between her and his feet several times. Eventually, he manages to decided to act. He would lean over and return the gesture, though his kiss on her cheek was shaky from nervousness, but it was still dangerously close to her lips.
