"Mooch, mooch!"
However, our moment was suddenly interrupted, a little redheaded boy appeared behind us, as if he had just seen everything we did.
"Zephy?!"
It was my little brother! The little ruffian sneaked right in this moment…
"D-Did you see anything?!" Aquarina asked.
"I saw… kiss!" He said while giggling.
He was only almost four years old by now, but he could perfectly understand what happened here.
"Please don't tell anybody about this…" Aquarina said.
"Yeah! Do it for your big sis, okay?" I asked.
"Oway…" Zephy said. "But why were you two kissing? That's only what mom and dad do!"
"W-We… Well, we were…" I muttered, trying to think of something.
"It was just practice when we grow older… Nothing else!" Aquarina came out with a little lie.
"Oooh! Can Zephy practice?" He wondered innocently.
"N-No!" We said at the same time.
"Guhh…" Zephy sighed, walking away.
As he walked away, we sighed in relief.
"That Little Zephy's really a handful! Well, he's already on the age he begins wandering around everywhere and looking at places and… spying on people." I sighed. "Sorry about that…"
"Ah, no, it's fine. Zephy's so cute. I wish I had a little sibling too." Said Aquarina with a smile.
Without realizing it, we've been holding hands all this time.
"Erm… W-Was it good?" Aquarina gently touched her lips. "Sorry if I went overboard, I had so much pent up… I kind of kissed you more than ten times didn't I?"
"You sure did…" I sighed, looking into the sky. "You don't need to apologize though, I liked them. All your kisses were like precious gifts…"
"Sylphy…" Aquarina blushed a bit. "Do you… Do you really meant it?"
"Huh?" I wondered.
"That… you love me?" She asked. "Not just as friends… That you like me?"
"I guess I never made it clear unlike you…" I said. "But yeah, for… years now. I just didn't wanted to rush it and make it feel… awkward or uncomfortable. We were way younger back then too."
"Hm, I suppose you're right." Aquarina smiled. "Now I wonder what we should do… I never planned anything after this moment… It feels like I am floating over a cloud."
"Honestly, same… But I guess we've just gotta keep going like always?" I said with a smile, looking at her beautiful blue eyes. "It's not like everything has change drastically around us, right? It is just… between the two of us."
"Hmm… Yeah." Aquarina smiled.
"It is not the end of the world now or something either… In fact tomorrow I have planned helping mother by taking commissions from the townsfolk." I said.
"Commissions?" Aquarina wondered.
"Yeah, like doing them requests, anything! I am experienced enough in alchemy now so I could make them medicine, or something else. Like that we can gain more of their trust and respect while I help them out." I said.
And also so I can trigger more quests and get rewards!
"Sylphy…" Aquarina sighed with an enamored gaze. "You're such a good person, I guess that's a part of why I love you…"
"Ahahah, you're exaggerating, I am just doing it cuz' I'm bored." I shrugged.
"Still… Those things just doesn't simply come out of people normally like it flows from you so naturally!" Aquarina said. "I'll help you as much as I can as well!"
"Really? Then we're all set! Maybe we can grab Zack and the rest of the gang." I said with a nod.
"Sure, sounds like fun…" Aquarina said. "Though it would be nice we could have some time alone sometimes… the two of us."
"Oh…"
Maybe she wants to have a date?
I guess she's right, dedicating some time for one another is also important now that we confessed and all…
We've known each other for so long, but we've always had little time with one another without anybody else getting in between.
"I don't mean I want to neglect our friends or forget about them… When I was younger I used to hate Zack a lot. But he's like my brother now in a way, I kind of care a lot for him." She said. "Buuut… Sometimes, he really gets in the way!"
"Yeah, I can tell…" I laughed. "So you want a date? Sure! We could arrange something~"
"A-A Date?!" Aquarina blushed a bit. "R-Right, I guess it would be a date…"
"Where do you want to go? Maybe we could go to a small restaurant?" I wondered. "And take a trip around the plaza. Or go fishing in the river or the lake. You name it!"
"Ah… I don't know, I didn't thought it through. Let me think about it for now." Aquarina said.
"Sure, sorry about being pushy, I got a bit excited…" I sighed.
"No, it's fine. It was cute, actually… You're always cute…" Aquarina said, petting my head.
She was actually taller than me now by a few centimeters, her amazon bloodline was beginning to rapidly develop her at her age.
"M-Me?" I asked while feeling flustered.
"Yeah, you're always brimming with energy. You always lift me up when I'm gloomy or bored. I guess life's never going to be boring when you're around." Aquarina smiled back.
"Aww… Look at you say all those things!" I sighed, hugging her back.
"I always wanted to hug you like right now…" Aquarina sighed happily, as she suddenly touched my chin and gently lifted it up, kissing me softly.
Uwaaah! She's totally killing me right now!
How come she got so charming out of the blue?!
It feels like she became a prince charming or something!
Her strong arms make it even more immersing!
"Uwaahhh…"
I couldn't help but make a weird noise as I rubbed my nose over her silky silver hair, it smelled so good too!
"Fweehh…"
Without realizing it, I was growing so red that even steam was coming out of my long ears.
"S-Sylphy?! Sylphy are you okay?!"
Aquarina panicked, as I passed out right there on the spot.
