starsfated asked: While trying her best not to make a sound, Kairi sneaks up from behind Yozora & places her hands right over his visage, completely blocking his sight. All through, she’s struggling to their height difference, however, that doesn’t stop the excitement as she chants: “ I got you a present! But to get it... you have to keep your eyes closed! ” & thus, with hands no longer in his eyes, the girl guides him along with her, to the place where his gift would be waiting to be handed over. & then... once they arrive, she lets go of his grip, reaching out for the unnecessarily large & colourful item. “ Open them! ” In her palms now, is a water gun, which is quickly handed over to the King. With a smile on her face & an endless joy in her heart, she speaks: “ Here! This is yours now! Just as I promised! ”

TRUE to the princess’s promise, the REAPER KING found himself a GUEST on the islands Kairi called HOME. Crystalline oceans crashing against the CLIFF FACE, delivering the BALMY SEA BREEZE known to tropical realms: brine GLITTERING in windswept locks. Yozora was a FISH out of WATER, scarcely adapted for COASTAL LIFE. He adamantly donned his abyssal black clothing, SWELTERING beneath the sun’s perpetual glow. Albeit, the COMMANDER was sensible enough to REMOVE his leather jacket and boots, SETTING them on the side of the PAOPU TREE he was perched upon.
TRANSFIXED by the rolling tide, the KING’S ATTENTION was averted long enough for KAIRI to surprise him, tension DISSIPATING upon recognising the VOICE of his ambusher. ❛ ... A present? ❜ Yozora QUESTIONED quietly, obediently keeping RUBY and SAPPHIRE lidded as per his sworn sister’s request. The PATRIARCH allowed the champion to TAKE HIS HAND, guiding him blindly down STONE and BEACH-GRASS, until bare toes sunk DEEP into warm sand. Even AFTER Kairi’s fingers fleed from his OWN, Yozora maintained his CLOSED LIDS, a lightweight object no sooner PLACED in his open palms.
❛ Well... it’s not a “gun gun”. It’s a water gun ! Have you never seen one ? ❜
The VIBRANCE of the object was the FIRST THING the monarch noticed: a MOTLEY of translucent neons piecing TOGETHER its vaguely firearm-shaped form. ❛ So this is a water gun... ❜ Night sky incarnate murmured, carefully INSPECTING the toy with CURIOUS HUES. It had already been FILLED with water, lucid liquid SLOSHING in its fluorescent interiors. The SENTIMENT was enough to PAINT a soft smile upon AUSTERE FEATURES, a calloused hand finding PURCHASE upon her crown, ruffling CHERRY-RED TRESSES. ( A gesture of GRATITUDE. )
The QUESTION remained about what the PURPOSE of such a pistol was. True ENOUGH, the cybernetic king had only EVER been exposed to FIREARMS of the warfare variety... NEVER in the form of RECREATION. With the SUN mercilessly beating down on ASHEN FLESH, Yozora begun to understand the BENEFITS of such a toy, in COOLING scorched bodies. And no doubt, with the TORRIDITY of that afternoon, the bequeathed ‘ WEAPON ’ would soon prove its WORTH.
And THUS, did the king of truth commence the GAME Kairi so implied. AIMING the water gun in her DIRECTION... and pulling the PLASTIC TRIGGER.
