Pencil and Scissor, out! | Not Accepting (4/9)

[basically this x x]

　He’d agreed to drop the pending workload he had to do for the sake of new years’ eve—or rather, because she’d seemed enthusiastic about it, and since this was the first time they’d spend the particular holiday with one another, he supposed he could bend to it for a bit. After all, his intention had been helping her develop more humanly and independently from her set functions (even if it was almost impossible to achieve this fully), so what better way to normalize human behaviors on her code than making her part of traditional celebrations?

　As his thoughts had trailed off and the clock hit midnight, he had unexpectedly received a kiss on the cheek from the android girl―it left him blinking and staring, with cheeks growing a pinkish blush. But her grin was contagious, so even if it came out embarrassed, he offered an awkward smile in response.

　He’d come to this beach not only for relaxation or to avoid the stressful pacing of the new year festivities, but also to visit an old acquaintance―the siren girl had grown on him during all the time he’d spent with her, secluded in her home. And since he’d been a little busy lately with his part-time jobs and own workload...

　His phone lighted up, and soon followed the alarm sounds signaling midnight, and thus the passing of one year to the other. He’d felt the adrenaline rush coursing through, as the fireworks reverberated loudly behind them, but his eyes didn’t immediately turn away from the stars, until he’d noticed Yadira moving from the corner of his eye. He turned to look at her, and then... he was left speechless with a brief surprise from her part. The rising blush from his cheeks was thankfully hidden under the darkness of midnight.

.&& A DAY OFF ? Absolutely unheard of in this one very busy Altesse’s life. Every single minute of every single day was dedicated to assuring a smooth sailing to the Kingdom, and they rarely even had the time to tie their shoelaces without someone running into the room to alert them of a new crisis or particularly important event they had to attend to. Thus, the logical answer to Zero’s quiet demand would be I’m busy, maybe tomorrow, which was really the default answer, the one Sha’n used whenever the poor guy so much as tried to make a change in their schedule. I’m busy, I don’t have the time, later, tomorrow, another day, another week, in another life maybe, at this point. They could always be uselessly strict and carelessly brush off their lover’s feelings in favor of the Kingdom’s well-being ( they should, in fact, always place the Kingdom first ), but the sight of the bracelet alone was enough to make their last futile attempt at resistance melt like snow under the sun.

HE wasn’t demanding or ordering anything out of them — he gifted them something, with an observation more than anything else, and all they were thinking about was turning him down. How cruel and heartless of them.

OFFERING him their wrist to allow him to tie the bracelet around it, Sha’n voiced their thoughts then, and not those of the Altesse,

         «  It is so wonderfully splendid ! You have so many talents do you know that ? Including that of talking me out of my job, but there’s no way I can say no to you on such a day. Tell me, what do we have planned, then ?  »
