Chapter Text
Aeth: “alright it’s only a few more steps this way” he said leading dehya
Dehya: “ this so called “spot better be worth-“ she said as she was cut off by the beauty of the landscape
Past Sumeru city and a couple of trees and leaves Aether lead dehya to a secret area where there is soft like grass, flowers that bloom like the moonlight, a waterfall with refreshing taste, and a open view to see the stars at the night
Aeth: “well you just gonna stand their?” he said laying on the ground patting a spot next to him for dehya
As she lay down right next to him they both watched the stars shine bright like a diamond like how they did yesterday last night
Dehya: “ this is beautiful” she said amazed “does anyone else know about this spot?” she asked
Aeth: “nope it’s just you & me” he said “I found this spot awhile ago when I was exploring by myself’ he explained “and well I figured this was the perfect night to use it” he said
Dehya: “well you certainly impressed me today” she said with a smile “thank you for showing me this” she said with a smile
Aeth: “no problem consider it as me repaying you for the food and clothes” he said “just don’t tell any about it ok?” he said
Dehya: “my lips are sealed” she said making a gesture
As the too sat in silence for awhile watching the stars go by for every passing minute dehya breaks the silence by suggesting:
Dehya: “hey you wanna play a game?” she asked
Aeth: “sure” he said “what game did you have in mind?” he asked
Dehya: “hmmmmm how about… Truth or dare?” she asked
Aeth: “yea that sounds fun” he said
Dehya: “cool I’ll go first” she said “truth or dare?”
Aeth: “truth”
Dehya: “is it true you battled the electro archon herself?”
Aeth: “yes it wasn’t an easy fight but I did manage to beat her in the end”
Dehya: “woah” (so the rumors weren’t no joke this guy is strong)
Aeth: “my turn” he said “truth or dare”
Dehya: “hmmm how bout truth”
Aeth: “is it true that you beat up a group of eremites with nothing but your bare fists?”
Dehya: “yea it’s true” she said “I wouldn’t be called the Flame-Mane for nothing if I couldn’t handle a few small fries without my weapon” she said smiling & grining
Aeth: “coooooool”
Dehya: “ yea yea anyway truth or dare”
Aeth: “truth”
Dehya: “… is it true your dating someone?” she asked
Aeth: “heh I wish” he said “why do you ask?” he asked
Dehya: “no particular reason just a little bit curious” she said turning away
Aeth: “well ok if you say so. Truth or dare”
Dehya: “truth”
Aeth: “what about you? Has the famous flame-mane settled down for some she likes?” he asked
Dehya: “yea I like someone” she said
Aeth: “oh… well I won’t pry any further but whoever they are they sure must be one lucky person” he said
Dehya: “yea they are” she said smiling “anyway truth or dare”
Aeth: “hmm dare just to spice it up” he said
Dehya: “oh well someone is daring tonight I wonder what I can dare you to do” she said with a mischievous smile
Aeth: “don’t make me do anything crazy will ya” he said sounding like he’s already regretting his choice
Dehya: *chuckles* “relax I’m not gonna make ya do anything to crazy… yet” she said teasing him
Aeth: “oh boy” he said
Dehya: “alright now I dare you to stand up, close your eyes & you can’t open them or move until I say so” she said standing up
While aether is hesitant at first he does exactly why dehya tells him to do it is a dare after all
Aeth: “alright now what?” he asked
Dehya: “now you just stay right there and no matter what you can’t move or open your eyes until I say so” she said
While aether was standing there he thought to himself
Aeth: (oh boy what is she planning? Is she gonna do something weird, don’t tell me she’s just gonna up and leave me here)
While aether was trying to decipher what she was going to do to him he then felt that dehya was very close in front of him. He then felt her hands touching his waist gripping it as she pulled him even closer to the point he could feel her soft breath
Aeth: “D-Dehya?!” he said nervously to afraid to move or open his eyes
Dehya: “shhhh it’s all apart of the dare” she said
As she pulled him in closer aether felt a soft yet sweet taste on his lips almost like if he was eating candy. He then decided to open his eyes only to see dehya pressing her lips up against his with her hands wrapped around his waists so tight yet so gentle. Dehya then stops & realizes aether has his eyes open
Dehya: “hey I thought I told you to not open your eyes” she said blushing
Aeth: “i-i-i-I” he said stuttering
Dehya then uses her hand to stop aether from stuttering & calm him down, then she uses it to cover his eyes and go back in for another bitter sweet kiss. They stand there for a few mins before she pulls back
Dehya: “well how was the dare?” she asked
Aeth: “i-I don’t know what to say I didn’t think you would kiss me like that” he said touching his lips where dehya pressed hers against his
Dehya: “well how else was I supposed to do it?” she said interlocking and holding both his hands
Dehya: “ I’m sorry if I came on to strong but… it was just my way of saying I like you” she said “ I understand if you don’t wanna you know with me but I thought you should kno-“
As she gets cut off aether brings her cheek in and gives her a smooch
Aeth: “while I will admit you did catch me off guard it’s been awhile since… someone has kissed me like that” he said blushing as he pulls dehya in for a hug
Dehya: “I’m glad you feel the same as I do” she said blushing while hugging him back “but if it’s all the same to you I rather keep this a secret. I don’t want random ppl or mercenaries coming after you to get to me” she said
Aeth: “you do know I took on an Archon, a dragon, and a water god right?” he said
Dehya: “yes I know but still ANYTHING could happen and I don’t want anything to happen to you” she said hugging him tightly
Aeth: “I see while I don’t completely agree I understand we can be a secret” he said
Dehya: “thank you for understanding it puts me at ease knowing there will be less danger your life” she said with a smile “and besides it just means with get more moments like this” she said
Aeth: “yea I guess your right” he said
Dehya then kisses aether on the forehead asking
Dehya: “do you mind if we stay here like this for a little while?” she asked
Aeth: “we can stay for as long as you like” he said with a smile
As dehya holds aether close and tight under the shining dark yet bright moonlight that concludes the night with both Aether & Dehya’s new found love in their new relationship. (To Be Continued?)
