16- Lantern Rite Date pt.2

She's been too good to me, no amount of riches or wealth I give her would ever repay her back.

I watched her, as she excitedly ate her food, it was too cute. The way her face lit up, the way her cheeks looked so soft, the way she carrried herself, it made me admire her more. I wanted kiss her so bad at that moment.

Flashbacks of the last kiss I had with her were flooding my head.

Soon enough, without realizing it, I grabbed her face; it just happened without me thinking.

But I mean, I'm not complaining.

Now is the perfect chance to ask.

I was staring deep into her eyes.

She looks so pretty, I thought.

The way she looked at me, it gave me that feeling.

I had mustered up the courage to ask her,

"(Y/n), may I ki-"

I forgot people were staring at us.

That darn food vendor was staring at us.

What was I thinking?

God, that was embarassing.

I let go of her face, not saying a word. She looked red as hell. Its kind of amusing, if I'm being honest.

-

Well anyway, that happened. I still couldn't recover from the embarassment of trying to kiss her in the open like that.

But this 'date', as mortals call it, is not over.

I took her to clothing stores, jewellry stores and everything. I bought her a couple of things, and maybe a few accessories, even though she said she didn't need them.

(Actually, he was seriously considering buying an entire stall)

I tried to ask for a kiss at the paper theatre thing, but no luck there. That mortal made (Y/n) playsome of the paper puppets too.

That pathetic mortal asked (Y/n) to perform alongside with him. The audacity. I had to sit alone throughout the whole performance, watching (Y/n) play the character 'Braveheart'.

But I guess it didn't go all in vain, seeing (Y/n) performing was the cutest thing I had ever seen.

I watched as she carefully moved her paper puppet around, here and there. The other two mortal kids were watching in awe.

I kinda wish I was the puppe-

Anyways.

I couldn't get the chance to ask for a kiss. Those damned filthy humans kept taking her away from me.

It was getting annoying.

The whole day just went like that, in the blink of an eye. I'd try to ask for a kiss, but something or the other would come and interrupt us.

We had finally reached a quiet place in the city, where I could ask her but..

"(Y/n)."

She looked at me with a smile on her face.

"Yeah? What is it?"

"Can I-"

"OH- HEY (Y/N)!!"

I flinched at the sound of that loud abnoxious mortal.

I thought to myself, again, another interruption. I really wished I could punch Xiangling for her impeccable timing.

But then again, she was (Y/n)'s friend. I couldn't just tell her to go away like that, so I sat there, just waiting for the both of them to be done with their conversation.

Thankfully, it didn't last very long, or I would've lost it.

(Y/n) finally looked back at me,

"Ah, sorry bout that. I haven't chatted with Xiangling for a while."

"It's fine, I suppose."

"Oh right! We have to watch Xinyan and Hu tao's performance, it starts in fifteen minutes, I think."

I reply, "It's not too far off. Let's go."

I hate the crowd, I loathe it, but I suppose I could give loud noisy performsnces like this a chance, since she's here.

We made our way to the venue, standing somewhere in the front, while I held (Y/n)'s hand tightly. I didn't want to be separated from the croud.

-After the performance (i dont like using timeskips but i have to ok im sorry :'D)

The performance wasn't to my liking, but I can't say I hate it entirely. Perhaps I didn't hate it fully because (Y/n) made it alot better.

But that aside, we were finding a good spot to place the teapot so we could finally go to sleep. Holding her hand while doing so was nice.

It didn't take too long for her to find good spot, she place the teapot down, and we took out our realm dispatches.

-

Entering the mansion, I had to ask her.

There were no interruptions here, only the two of us.

I REALLY wanted to kiss her now.

So when she was not looking, I used my arm to wrap around her waist and bring her closer to me from behind.

I rested my neck on her shoulder and whispered into her ear,

"(Y/n), I've been really wanting to ask you for a ki-"

Before I could even finish, she brought her soft lips onto mine at the speed of light somehow, holding my face, bringing it closer to hers.

I melted right there on the spot.

I was so stunned by her sudden action that I couldn't even react, I just stood there.

In the end, I just closed my eyes, and held her face too.

It was soft and gentle.

I liked it alot.

Sadly, like how all good things come to an end, the kiss we shared was no exception.

She let go first for air.

I wanted more but, I'm not needy. Atleast I shouldn't let her know that I am.

She teased, "Heh, you wanted one so badly, huh?"

I couldn't help but feel embarassed.

"N-no."
