@swordrisen said ; It's a difficult reach ( he's tall , she is lacking in height compared to him. ) But she reaches anyway , reaching for his cheeks , finger tips tenderly grasping them as she tugs him down to land a soft kiss to the tip of his nose. ❛❛ Happy New Years , Cu ! ❜❜ She then moves , slipping her arms around him tight with a soft chuckle against his chest , ear pressing to listen to his heart. ❛❛ I hope this will become a wonderful year of rebirth. ❜❜ / from : 𝐔𝐍𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐃
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧’𝐭 why Koto was there, no— the question was what in the world was she attempting to do— With confusion still lingering within Cús mind, his red eyes remained fixed on her as he attempted to discern what was it that she wanted to do- luckily enough, it didn’t take long for him to notice that Koto seemed to be struggling— struggling to do something... Something that apparently required her to reach out to him, which was rather unfortunate when one took in consideration that there quite some inches that separated them both. ❝ You know, you can always jump if all fails- ❞ Ah... There it was- and just when he thought he could hold down his teasings for at least new year’s .... Well, one slipped by but thankfully enough, Cú Chulainn felt the need to redeem himself if only for this particular day, so right after his teasing, he waited no longer in order to bend down a little as to allow her to finally reach him. With curiosity still lingering, little did Cú know that what was about to happen was going to end up taking him completely by surprise-
One little kiss on the tip of his nose— that was all it took for the legendary and mighty hero Cú Chulainn to feel his knees begining to.... weaken? No- no, what !? Pfft, As if he’d let that happen ! straightening up his posture in an uncaractheristically quick manner, ( far different from his usual cool behavior ) Cú looks away, faking a sudden interest in the.... boring white walls of chaldea- little did he know that it only made the reddish tint on his cheeks strike even more in comparison-
❝ That was it ? Y’ could have asked if you wanted to kiss me so bad for new year’s- ❞ Ah yes, an attempt to redeem himself and his pride- yet for anyone that wasn’t him, it was painfully obvious that without a doubt, the mighty hero Cú Chulainn was feeling embarassed. The very man who cut through skulls with ease, now feeling shy ... An odd sight yet not an impossible one. Despite this, he still looks at her from the corner of his eye..... And her chuckle makes him smile. What a nice sound -he thinks-, how joyous it was... Such was the impact that for a moment, his spirit pushes his own embarassment to the side, ( if only for a little while ) and as he stares down at a smiling Koto who’s arms were now wrapped around him, Cú proceeds to also wrap one arm around her shoulders, almost as if wanting to keep her there, if only for a little while.
❝ Yeah , yeah .... Happy new year to you too, Koto .. ❞ How odd it was that for once, his voice wasn’t so loud ... this time, one could even say it sounded calmer, softer in a way, almost tender, almost contradictory to how Cú showed himself to be ..... and like this, with those silent words being said, he carefully pushes her bangs up with his free hand and places a small kiss over her forehead. An eye for an eye- simply because he despised owing things to others- even if that thing was something as simple as a little kiss ......
