Where: All over the city
When: February 14th-February 22nd
Warnings: None

Oh shit, what even happened last night? You're pretty sure you had a normal night, no crazy drunk antics (unless that is your normal night). But this morning you woke up with a brand new tattoo, and it's... a name?

Maybe it's a name you recognize, one of your good friends. Maybe it's a stranger. Maybe it's someone you can barely stand. No matter who it is, you kind of feel like you should look for them and figure out what's going on with this weird tattoo. And when you find them - well, they've got one too, except this one is your name. It would seem weird, except as soon as you see each other you kind of understand. Of course you'd have a tattoo with the name of the person you've found such an amazing connection with. You were meant to be together.

So enjoy your time with your newfound soulmate. Who knows, you might wake up tomorrow with a whole new name on your arm, a new connection, a new love. Make the most of it!

That's good because there's nothing that brings me more joy than seeing you happy. I will certainly try to find a lot of time just for the two of us.

[She's radiant right now, she had never felt happier than this and it's so hard to believe all she needed was him. The summoner places a kiss on his chin, more descending on his neck and finally rests against him with her eyes closed.]

Of course I will be by your side, I don't trust you on your own. [A small grin appeares on his lips as she nibbles on his skin. As if she could leave him alone, he made so much progress during the last months- there's no need to give him a chance to mope and get all depressed once more.] But I certainly know I want everyone to know. Can you imagine Odin's face? And us being a couple will also make you a son of Leviathan as well? They will love you as much as I do. And then there are our other friends, as soon as you feel you can finally face Cecil and the others [She partially wants to rub it in Rosa's face what a chance she missed but that Rydia is keeping for herself.] But in the meanwhile... yes, we have all the time we want.

Good, because you're the only one I want to be with. Believe me, you're already making me happier than I've been in a long time.

[Kain sighs contentedly as she settles against him, kissing the top of her head as he holds her close.]

Wait... you don't trust me on my own? Am I really that hopeless? [He has to wonder if he'd lost himself more than he'd realized. Is he only now returning to his true self here and now? He feels a lot more alive now than he has in a very long time, that much is sure.] I'd like to see Odin's reaction, as well. I hope he'll approve... and that Leviathan will as well. I'll try to prove myself worthy for them both. For our friends as well... Though I have a feeling Cecil and Rosa will be happy for us, too. [They've both always been supportive, better friends than he deserves, surely, so he knows they'll be quite pleased they've found love.]

Hey, it's unfair, I can't kiss the top of your head. [But at least his lips are within reach and she moves a bit behind, steals another kiss between giggles and returns to the safety of his hug.]

You aren't, my dear, but I don't trust you would keep smiling if left alone, nor that you'd stay around people as you should. [And she wants to be with him all the time, that's certainly another reason she'd rather follow him to Mount Ordeal than return home.] Oh, Kain, he loves you... of course he will approve if he sees you happy. [The summoner raises her hands to squeeze his cheeks and moves behind the dragoon, wrapping her arms around his neck once more and hopping up on his back, hugging from behind.] I just realized... you basically have a bit of eidolon family as well, this is so cool. And- I'm sure mother and father will need no proof to know you're worthy. And yes! We need to head to Baron and let them know! And until then... it will be my pleasure to take care of you.

[Kain leans in to return the kiss, eagerly pressing his lips to hers before she settles in again.]

I suppose you're right about that. I do spend a lot of time alone... I can't help it, that's just how I am. And I haven't had many reasons to smile, recently. Not since... well. Since everything happened. [He sighs a little.] But you're changing that for me right now. Being with you changes so much for me...

Yes, you're right. Odin... the king... he raised me for quite a while, before he became an eidolon. He was as much of a father to me as my own. [Sure, they had their disagreements, since his majesty sometimes seemed to favor Cecil, and had wanted Kain to become a Dark Knight... but he still had looked up to him, admired him despite those things.] I'll look forward to visiting our family and friends, then.

[He smiles again as he glances back at her from her new spot on him.] I've never had anyone do that for me before.

Mh... I'm sorry but I am afraid you won't get much alone time anymore. [That... is definitely not something Rydia would usually say, nor she would like to be told 'you will not have time for yourself' but now nothing can take her apart from Kain.] And I know, my dear, you were forced on a path full of pain and adversities... but now I promise I will face everything with you. [She snuggles against him] I am just glad I can help, nothing makes me happier than your smile and this is the greatest motivation to try my best.

I don't know your history with him but I just... I don't know. I just want him and literally everyone else to know we're one and be happy for us. Perhaps even jealous, after all I can see Rosa biting her own tail once she realizes what wonderful man she let ran away... [She blinks] Is this why people are sometimes so loud about their love? To think I used to think they were silly or even ridicolous at times.

[Rydia places a kiss on his cheek when he turns to look in her direction.] And that's certainly something we need to fix, you deserve all the love. And talking about love... what about some shameless cuddling since we have all the time we want?

If it's time spent with you, I don't mind that at all.

[Kain may be an introverted loner, but that doesn't mean he can't enjoy others' company. He's just very selective about the specific people he cares to spend time with. Of course, he'll always have time for the love of his life. His heart beats faster just knowing she feels the same way about him.]

Having you with me changes everything for the better, in fact. I don't know why I struggled alone for so long… I suppose I wasn't yet ready to face the idea of finding someone else…

[He smirks a little bit, since he can't help but be deeply pleased by Rydia's suggestion. She's truly meant for him, isn't she? He nods eagerly. Sure, he isn't one to think too highly of himself, but… he rather likes the prospect of making others feel the jealousy he once felt.]

Yes, this is why people like to show off their love for one another… one of many reasons. I want the world to know about us, to see how happy we are together… and yes, making others jealous would feel good to me. Certain others did make the wrong choice, but… right now, I don't mind that. It means I have you, after all.

That's good because I can't help but desire to spend my whole life with you. I don't even care about where we will be, I just know I need your company.

[And she's social but all the company she truly needs is right there with her. She finds herself snuggling once more against him, his warmth fils her with so much joy and the closer they stay the better she feels.]

We both.... help each other out? I am neither human nor a true monster and I think I always wondered what to do with my life. Living in the Feymarch seemed the most appropriate solution since I don't fit between your people but I- You are my new purpose now.

I am really sorry you had to suffer for so long but... [The summoner grins widely. Oh, if he doesn't think highly of himself she'll make sure to remind him what an exeptional man he is. She leans closer for another kiss, eagerly pressing her tongue against his lips once more because she craves more intimacy.] If I have to be completely honest I am glad she failed to see your charm because now it allows me to claim you as mine. And I don't care if she'll regret her poor choices, I'm not letting you go.

Likewise... I need you, Rydia. I need you in my life, I need your companionship and... more beyond that. [He steals another kiss, lingering, taking his time, starting to feel even more confident about their relationship and future together.] I love you so much. I'll do anything for you, as well... and if a day ever comes that you miss the Feymarch, I'd come with you, as long as the Eidolons will have me.

[He already knows Rydia wouldn't take "no" for an answer when it comes to having him with her. He truly would do anything for her, follow her anywhere, whatever she wants.]

You're right, though... I'm better off now than I ever was before. [Sure, he would rather not have been forced to betray all of his friends, or live with the guilt and jealousy he constantly feels. But maybe now it's time to start moving on a little more from that. His feelings for Rosa are swept away, as if carried off by a strong wind. He only loves one woman now.] We were meant to be. I see it so clearly now, even if it took all of this time to get here...

I will give you all I have and all I am if that's what you need, my love. [Her eyes flutter close at his touch, his lips are so delicate and warm and his taste drives her crazy, if anyone will want to take her away they'll have to rip her from his arms.] Don't be silly: I want you to be happy and you aren't one who'd thrive in the underworld, I will be content looking at you soar the skies. Not that the eidolons wouldn't open their doors to the man I chose but... I'd never trap you in a cave.

[Isn't this a healthy love, is it? It's an obsession, yet right now all feels right and perfect.

That's good, that's good. My only regret is not realizing it sooner, we could have been so cool... imagine, two strong power couples saving the world together! And Edge, I guess. [If friendship was such a great source of power who knew what Love could do.] But we are not to live in the past, are we? Just think of all the things we'll do from now on.

Ah, Rydia... thank you. It means everything to me to hear such things... you mean everything to me. I love you more than the sky itself, truly. [It's not a declaration he'd ever make lightly, but it's very much how he feels. No one has ever made him this over the top in love before.] But I'm happy you're willing to be with me on the surface. I wouldn't mind visits to the Feymarch, though.

[All right, even that remark about "power couples and Edge" gets one of those rare sort of laughs out of Kain.] I like the sound of that. Well, who knows, if we return, we may have opportunities yet. Though I hope it remains mostly peaceful, there will still always be monsters to fight, and other enemies, I'm sure... I've never cared to think about the future that much, but now... now I have a great deal of hope for it.

How can I top that as declaration of love? How? [Is there anything Rydia ever loved more than Kain? No place, no people matter more than him.] I can't express more feelings but I can offer you this. [She jumps off his shoulders, stepping once more on front, rasing both hands to her head and taking off her treasured headpiece, offering it to the dragoon.] Please, keep it. It was my mother's and as you love the sky I kept this with me... and I want you to have it.

[It's true Kain won't probably have any use of it and it's one of the most ridicolous things she had ever done but it's a battle of 'I love you more' now.]

Oh wow... [And she likes the sound of his laughters. Her hand is once more raised to caress his cheek, will she ever be able to look away?] Who knows... personally I'd rather live in peace, grow and age with you- [Oh, she will be disappointed when she'll find out her body is out of synch with the human world.] but I wouldn't say no to creating new legends at your side. With a friend like Edward I believe it won't be too hard to have a ballad or two dedicated to the wonderful dragoon of Baron.

Ah... Rydia...

[Kain watches her closely, then accepts the headpiece with a great deal of reverence, holding onto it as carefully as he would a living thing. He knows what it means to her, especially considering that it originally belonged to her mother. He's left speechless for a moment, struggling to come up with the right words for such a significant gesture.]

I'm deeply honored. I promise you, I'll treasure it always, the same way that I treasure you. It... it means more than I can ever express... [To Kain, it's not ridiculous at all, but the single most romantic thing anyone has ever done for him. He's never been happier. He leans in to kiss her as thanks, a heavy, passionate kiss.]

I hope for peace as well. We can still have our excitement and adventures... perhaps I'll restore the dragoons to their former glory. It would be a lot of work, but... perhaps I can even find a dragon to train... I'm sure Edward could indeed make a few songs out of that. [He knows he still has some work ahead to truly move on from his past, but with Rydia beside him, it all suddenly seems more possible than ever before.]
