Like A Fairytale♥ {Dylas/Popuri}
"Dylas!♥" Popuri chimed, running over to the tall man and wrapping him up in a big hug. Nuzzling her head on his chest, she murmured with a smile. "Hi again."
The periwinkle-maned man sighed gruffly in reaction to her gesture. "Popuri... what are you doing?"
The pinkette pulled her head back, her lips forming a small pout. "It's called a hug and usually this is the part where you hug me back." Bringing her head back to his body and closing her eyes. "So go on."
Dylas hesitated for a moment before wrapping his eyes tightly around the small girl. "Alright..." He grumbled, running his fingers through her bubblegum pink hair. It was soft and he could lightly smell how sweet it was.
When he tightly embraced her small figure, the girl was just a bit surprised. Usually it took him longer to hug her back and she would have to pout a lot more before this point. So this was.. nice. It was really nice and she wanted it to last. Being with the, at times, grumpy man had become something she yearned to have. Eating at the restaurant, walking through the forest, or even watching him fish. Just having him as company made her feel like she was in a fairytale.
Then he gently pushed her away and held her by the shoulders. His amber eyes latching onto the gaze of her wide, scarlet ones. "Why are you doing this, Popuri?" He asked, breathing out through his nose.
"Dylas... What do mean?" She furrowed her brows in confusion, not understanding what he meant by why. Wasn't that obvious at this point?
Not breaking the connection of their eyes, he furrows his brows back at her. "I'm not like you... I'm some grouchy, horse-man and you're--"
"I'm what, Dylas? What am I exactly?" Popuri shook her head, not looking away from him for a second. "I don't care if we're different... You bring me into a world that I've loved for years. You make me smile and laugh." Reaching up, she gently touches his cheek and smiles fondly. "Don't you understand how I feel?"
"I..." The taller man's cheeks burned pink with embarrassment before nodding his head silently. "I just want you to be sure. Will you really be happy with me?"
Popuri giggled delightedly, the corners of her eyes tearing up a little. "I already am happy, silly! You're my fairytale, Dylas. And I love you. Grouchiness and all!" She didn't think she'd ever be able to feel this way. To let go of someone else she'd loved for years felt so... so--
So right.
"I--" His face even a darker hue, he quickly lifted up the pinkette, spinning her around while holding her close to him. She held onto him, feeling herself get lifted off the ground and into his embrace. "I love you too..." He murmured so softly, that only Popuri could hear him.
"Sorry, what was that?" She asked teasingly, being selfish for a moment.
"Sh-Shut up!" Dylas stammered, his ears twitching in a flustered fashion. But as Popuri pulled back her head he brought his lips to hers and kissed her longingly. She returned the kiss-- her first kiss-- and tangled her fingers through his hair. Breaking the kiss for a moment, the man murmured lowly. "Did you hear me now?"
"Loud and clear♥"
