You couldn't get it at first, sure Tombo was a dork but he never talked this much over some girl. It wasn't until you saw her, her delicate figure soaring across the auburn skies with the setting sun bathing her in a warm glow, did you finally see why your friend had such a sudden interest in the little witch.

Every time you saw her gliding oh so elegantly along the painted skies, only one word filled your thoughts: beautiful. Your hands itched for your camera, to capture the enchanting sight. The town hadn't had a witch for as long as you could remember so having the opportunity to see one made you feel so lucky. Seeing her was always the highlight of your day.

But one day you stopped seeing her in the skies... It had been a couple of days and you were getting worried. Tombo said she just got sick, but she couldn't possibly be sick for this long.

Today your older sister Ursula was coming to town to supposedly visit a friend. Mom urged you to tag along saying, "You never hang out with your sister anymore, go spend some quality time with her, she's family!". So now here you were, dragged along to go pick up her "friend"

"C'mon (Y/N), pick up the pace you bum! I want to go see my friend!"

You only groaned in response, mumbling with annoyance, "Since when did you even have friends"

You froze as you both came to a stop at a very familiar bakery.

"Hey Kiki!"

Your muscles stiffened and your face turned a rosy pink as you watched your older sister talk animatedly with her friend, who just so happened to be your crush! Your sister turned back giving you a knowing smirk once she saw your blushing face.

"Hey Kiki this is my little brother (Y/N), he'll be joining us today!"

When she turned to face you it's like the world stopped as she gazed at you with her onyx eyes. Oh god her eyes... words couldn't even begin to explain the beauty and the life in her eyes. Your heart beat loudly in your ears as you fell deeper and deeper into her mesmerizing obsidian eyes.

"Um hello? Are you ok?"

Her sweet honeyed voice snapped you out of your trance, red hot embarrassment burned your skin.

"U-uh yeah I'm (Y/N)!"

Then she laughed, soft and warm like being cradled and hugged as if you were something precious.

"I know that, your sister already introduced you to me silly! I'm Kiki!"

"Nice to meet you Kiki..."

"Well let's go inside. don't want you both waiting for me out here in the heat!"

Being in your crush's room was sending your already overwhelmed heart into overdrive. You barely even talked to her but you couldn't help it, you were invited by her and now she was telling you about her troubles! your sister too but that's not the point.

This was officially the best day ever, your crush was actually talking to you, laughing at your jokes, and even playing around with you. You were glad she was feeling a lot better, although you'd never admit it out loud, your sister did have an amazing way with words and could make anyone feel better.

Spending all day and night with Kiki and Ursula made you itch for your camera. Seeing them laugh and play and cook and talk made an incredible sight. Seeing their souls dance and shine like little embers becoming ablaze with life. Oh what you'd give to capture these moments and preserve them like precious gems.

But all good things must come to an end. The next morning Kiki hugged both you and your sister goodbye and went on her way. You felt sad that is was over but you were glad to at least have spent a whole day with her.

"(Y/N) COME OUTSIDE AND BRING YOUR CAMERA, THE DIRIGIBLE IS FLYING AWAY AND TOMBO IS HANGING OFF THE ROPE!"

Hearing your friends' cries you practically flew out the house, camera in hand. Running through the streets, worry filled your heart, you could only pray that Tombo was alright. Arriving to the scene, Kiki's figure attracted your attention like a magnet. She looked so majestic, despite her not-so-majestic flying, bravely trying to save the shaking Tombo. Everyone held their breath as they watched the desperate rescue attempt. Then...

He fell

She dived down

You raised your camera

Click

Cheers erupted all around you as people rushed to the two children. You stayed back, forgotten, staring down at your camera. There on your camera was the picture perfect scene, Kiki hanging onto her broom with one hand and holding onto Tombo with the other. Their hands seemed to fit so perfectly, like something out of a fairytale... Oh how you wished it was you she was smiling down at, her hand holding onto yours with a quiet desperation...

You glanced up at her once, your eyes meeting.

Then you left.

Kiki's POV

She couldn't understand it, she just met you yesterday but it felt like she has known you for years. That day at the cabin with you and your sister made her feel alive again. You and your stupid jokes brought her back to life... Now meeting your gaze, her heart ached seeing you so dejected, your camera falling from your hands to hang limply from its strap.

She remembered the photos your sister showed her when you were sleeping. The photos you took were so full of life and soul, as if you captured the subject's very essence into one small photograph. The scenes they portrayed always felt so real, like she could feel every emotion behind it.

Now watching you run with one last picture that she just knew held heartbreak and longing, she couldn't let this end like this. The cheers and praise turned to background noise as she ran, only one thing filling her thoughts, you.

"(Y/N) WAIT!"

You stumbled to a stop, turning around in disbelief only to see Kiki racing towards you.

"K-Kiki..?"

She looked up at you, those deep dark eyes that you've come to adore, staring deep into your (e/c) eyes. Then she spoke, her words soft and shy,

"I flew again just like you and your sister said I could... do you- do you want to come celebrate with me..?"

A pleasant warmth spread in your chest as you looked at her, with her blushing oh so cutely, and you responded with the obvious and only answer,

"Of course."
