Vacation day had finally come. Kite had booked a hotel for the two of you for an entire week, selecting one of the most renowned hotels in Swardani City. From the details you were given, you knew that it was a five star establishment located nearly at the heart of the city, and that most of the expenses were paid in full without you ever needing to consider dropping a single coin on anything. These were the only details you were given; that and the fact that you'd be going in for a late check-in. Kite refused to tell you why you were set up to check in at around dinner time, so you spent most of your day bouncing excitedly around his home until you finally departed for the city, your excitement still spilling forth from you.

"You're gonna be tired by the time we get there, love." Kite chuckled, noting your bouncing leg as the cab entered the city.

"Ah, sorry. I'm just so excited! I genuinely can't remember the last time I took time off for myself." You apologized.

"All the more reason for us to have come here then. You deserve some free time to relax." He nodded, taking your hand in his. "Look, we're here now."

You tried your best to calm yourself as the cab driver pulled into the drop off area of the grand hotel you were staying at, Kite's thumb brushing gently over the back of your hand as you gazed up at the tall building. It didn't take too long to arrive after you passed the city limits thankfully. So you stepped out of the cab to really get a good look at the place. It had to have been at least forty stories tall, definitely not the tallest building in the city but it was certainly one of them. It wasn't often you got to stay in such a modern fancy place since you were a little more used to camping out at ground level.

"What floor are we on?" You asked Kite excitedly as you unloaded your bags.

"Thirty-seven I believe. Not quite the top but it's definitely up there." He responded.

"Oh hell yes~! I can't wait to see the room!" You hummed.

"Likewise. I hope they set things up the way I requested them to..." He then mused, loading your suitcase and his onto a little card to make things easier.

"Kite... What did you ask them to do?" You inquired, raising a brow at him.

"Oh, you'll find out soon." He smiled with a hint of mischief to his tone.

You pouted at him when he refused to tell you his plans once again. He really wasn't gonna give you any hints either. The only way to get that information was to get up to the room, so you rushed inside with the cart to claim your key card with him and hop into the elevator, bouncing in place as the gold trimmed room ascended and brought you to your floor. One you were there, you walked down the posh halls to the room number that matched the one on the card and tapped it to a little black box on the door, unlocking the room to you. With one swift push you revealed the room to your eyes, and your jaw simply dropped.

The room before you was huge; ginormous even. Large windows made up the better part of the far wall with layers of curtains both sheer and opaque hanging over them. The kitchen had a large island in it, and the crisp white tile cut off into a beautiful plush carpet that indicated the start of the spacious living room, large sectional couches and glass tables filling the space. Off to the side you could see the king sized bed through an open sliding door, the bathroom surely being inside the bedroom with even more grand beauty to show. You couldn't explore that area just yet though as something that sat atop the kitchen island had caught your attention. Atop the marble was a full range of dinner and dessert consisting of your favourite food items, candles and a bouquet set up as the centrepiece with a little card leaned up against the vase that said 'let's relax my love' in neat handwriting. The only thing that snapped you out of your daze was Kite coming up next to you and setting your suitcases down before his arm snaked around your waist and brought you back to reality.
