"Sir I've already told you. You can have my money. My kids. My wife. My emergency food. My social security. My dignity.
Everything.
It's all for you now-"

"...what have I done..."

My hands were clasped together as I recited what I had said over and over.

A blissful look on my face as I did.

I could practically hear the blood gushing into my head, coming down from the high that was the kiss right before this.

Not like I haven't been kissed before... but...

"Im using this as clout. Yes ma'am, im using this as full-on, hard-blown clout. Time to make enemies of the whole damn world cause I just got kissed by a stupidly hot man-"

"...I didn't intend to go this far..."

The male had clutched a handful of grass near my head, eyes narrowed and glaring at the ground.

His head was still wrapped up in what had happened.

"Oooh~ say can you seee- by the daw-"

"I apologize (L/n)! It must have been my karma-!"

Expertly picking myself off the ground, I sat up, grabbing Xiao's cheeks in the process and smushing them between my fingers.

My eyes widened with glee, smiling while I kneaded his soft flesh.

"Stop! No! Don't apologize! That was a cute moment! Don't you dare say otherwise!"

*B O O M*

Another explosion sounded, this time an orange firework lighting up the sky as if counting down to the eminent finale.

Xiao's crestfallen look faltered his eyebrow twitching in response to my affirmation.

"You misunderstand (L/n)... I've... I've done something... that I cant- ive...."

It was unlike Xiao to fail with his words like this.

There was obviously something he wanted to say, but couldn't quite get the words out.

But...

"It's crazy... but I already know what your gonna say."

The sensation of a small smile forming on my face made the moment ever more somber than it already had been.

A twinge of guilt flashed through the Yakshas eyes.

I didn't know if he was aware of it, but he had dug his head further into my hands.

"I'll accept it as an 'in the moment kiss.' After all, we both have responsibilities to uphold... I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did."

Slowly letting go of his cheeks, I moved my hands to grip onto his.

There was a pause after I gave him a reassuring squeeze, the two of us only looking into each other's eyes.

Once again, another thread leading to happiness slipped away.

I was getting used to it by now.

"Still."

The hand I held quickly turned in place, interlacing its fingers with my own.

Albeit a bit stronger, Xiao reciprocated my squeeze.

"I do not regret what I've pledged to you.
If you are ever in need of me...
If monsters dig their claws into you...
...If.... death.. comes knocking at your door...
Call out my name... (Y/n)."
