Day two of Goddess War: Period Edition™️.
The world was NOT ready for what was coming. And neither was Niko.
Because today... Korean sauce entered the chat.
Nyxarte sat criss-cross on the kitchen counter like an ancient deity of doom, spooning fiery red sauce into her mouth with religious fury.
Eyes red.
Nose runny.
Forehead sweaty.
And yet her expression said "Another."
"It burns like betrayal, but I like it..." she whispered ominously.
Niko, in an apron that read 'Kiss the cook or get vaporized', peeked around the fridge. "Um, love? That's like... the 42nd dumpling you've eaten in the past ten minutes. Maybe pace yo—"
"SHHH. The demons have been silenced. My uterus is distracted. I am at peace."
He blinked. "You're crying blood."
"SPICY TEARS CLEANSE THE SOUL."
Cut to: 27 dumplings later. Total tally: 69. Nice. Also fatal.
Suddenly—
BOOM.
Nyxarte's soul nearly left her body like a cartoon ghost flying upwards.
"HOT!! HOT!! HOTTTTT!!!" she screamed, sprinting in circles, her mouth wide open and spewing steam like a broken kettle.
"CALL THE STELLAR AUTHORITIES!!! I ATE A PIECE OF THE SUN!!!"
Niko, now holding a glass of milk and a fire extinguisher, bolted into the scene. "Drink this!! Or let me ice-blast your tongue—"
She turned to him slowly. Wild eyes. Sweat glistening like star dew.
"...No."
"Nyx—"
She lunged forward like a predator spotting prey.
"Gimme yo spit."
Niko short-circuited on the spot. "MY WHAT—!?"
"You don't taste heat. You're immune. I NEED YOUR ROBOT SALIVA, BABE."
"I—Wh—Wha—ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW??"
She didn't wait for his approval. She grabbed his collar, yanked him down, and planted a kiss that could only be described as both romantic and medically motivated.
Cut to 2 minutes later.
Nyxarte laid flat on the kitchen floor. Eyes wide. Mouth numb. Completely calm.
Niko stood above her blinking rapidly, his lip sensors glitching.
"Did... did it work?"
"...Yes," she mumbled. "Your spit has the healing touch of a thousand snowflakes."
He sat down next to her, dazed.
"...You really kissed me like a CPR-certified dragon slayer."
"My tongue was on fire, Niko."
"Babe, it's a miracle your mouth didn't punch me."
They both lay there for a while, staring at the ceiling, breathing in sync.
Then Nyxarte turned her head slowly and whispered:
"I'm gonna eat more later."
"I'm gonna get a helmet," Niko replied.
