𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐃𝐀𝐘, 𝐈𝐓 𝐒𝐄𝐄𝐌𝐒, 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐄𝐓 & 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐄 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑. it's the most delightful part about this mission--- it pays in so many ways. from the breathtaking scenes to the friends they make along the way... getting to witness the impact they have on the development of humanity... aurea finds herself nowadays hoping they can stay here forever, even after the deviants have gone.
most importantly? she's found herself wanting to spend that forever with another. eyes drift shut, a deep breath taking in the fresh mountain air as the setting sun warms her skin. the footsteps that come from behind her are ones she's learned well--- she know's chrys' approach far too well, to the point her heart has become distracted with his very existence. they both know better, know that they shouldn't allow themselves to be distracted from their mission... but every day, her heart grows fonder of him. her soul aches for him.
wordlessly, she turns to him, eyes opening to meet his in the golden light. slowly, his hand rises, brushes wind-blown hair from her eyes. it's that simple touch that makes her heart beat fast, cheek leaning into his touch against her better judgement. it's in that moment that she caves once and for all, a step forward closing the space between them. leaning in carefully, she presses her lips to his own in an intimate, deep kiss, one to convey every feeling, every thought, every emotion she's held captive for so many years. a kiss to show chrysafenios that if there is one place she belongs, it is with him, eternally.
