[Closed Log]

[librariansheart]

Who: Sheska and Itsuki Koizumi
What: Stuff and things - relationship things
Where: Sheska's apartment
When: July 3rd? The 5th? Somewhere in there.
Warnings: possible angst, definite mushy stuff


Except for the incident with the firecrackers, it has been a fairly quiet day, and a productive one for once. The apartment have gotten cleaned - something that it had sorely needed, many of the loose texts have been re-shelved, her Dave stash has been refilled... She even has some meals ready for the days when she couldn't bring herself to cook.

The evening is reserved for getting more work done on her latest literary reconstruction project, but for now, she's settling into her sofa with a new book on medical anatomy and physical therapy. She certainly isn't expecting company.

He really believes they can do this. That even if it crashes down in fire and ruin it will have been worth it. Sheska meets his eyes of her own accord, his kiss burning like a benediction on her brow. He's smiling... With all his wounds, all his burdens, he wants to take on another. But that's just like him, isn't it.

She finds herself smiling too, the bright fire of hope driving back the clouds and mist, at least for a little while. She feels more like herself than she has in a long time. Gently, she reaches out to capture his hand in both of hers.

"All... All right. Yes, Koizumi Itsuki, you may certainly court me. So long as I can court you, too. Okay?"

Koizumi's eyes widen in surprise, caught completely off guard - but then he looks down, lips curling into an almost shy smile. He glances up at her, still smiling softly, his cheeks a little red. It makes him look younger, somehow.

He thinks it's just like her to turn the tables on him like this - and he finds he loves that about her.

"I didn't know it before, but... yes. Always, yes. I wouldn't want it any other way."
