Today was an eventful day, for you at least. You had a rough day fighting against the enemies that had to do with the Stellaron. You and Gepard work together hand in hand, fighting monsters, keeping people in line, going on patrols, and basically just keeping the town of Belobog safe. It's no surprise that you and Gepard work so well together either. You and the Landau siblings were extremely close when growing up, and you still are. You were just about to leave the Backwater Pass when all of a sudden, a rush of Stellaron monsters makes their way towards you and Gepard. Normally, this would be no issue for you and Gepard, but the both of you were very tired after after the long day, and the past week as well if you had to be honest. You glanced over at Gepard, because out of the two of you, he's the calm, rational and strategic one, but now, even he had a slight look of worry in his eyes. 

You looked around your surroundings desperately, well aware that the both of you were in no condition to fight, and that the only way to survive this would be to escape.  That's when it clicked. The run-down café had its door open because of the wind. Sure, it was risky, and sure, you had no idea what could be in there, but it was your only hope. You looked over at Gepard again and the both of you made eye contact. Oh how you could spend hours just gazing into those beautiful, sapphire pools of his, but this was not the time. You glanced over to the café and then back at Gepard, who gave you a nod in reply. You grabbed his hand, the all too familiar feeling from your childhood heating up your insides, and just as the monsters were about to attack, you ran.

You couldn't even look back, all that mattered was getting you and Gepard to safety. As the two of you ran into the café with the little energy you had left, once you both were inside, Gepard pushed himself up against the door, holding back the monsters. You put a couple of chairs against the door as well, but you knew that even that wouldn't be able to hold them off for much longer. You had to think of something, and fast. Gepard said "Look, behind the counter!" you snapped your head in that direction and saw a closet. It would have to do. You hoped and prayed to the Aeons that there was a lock on the door. You looked towards Gepard and gave him a nod. "On three," you said, trying to stay as calm in this situation as possible. "1... 2...."

"3!" The two of you ran towards the closet. You went in first, and Gepard followed in suit, locking the door behind him. You could hear the Stellaron monsters break through the door of the café, and you began to panic. The little space in the closet did not make it any better, but then Gepard did something you didn't expect. He put a hand over your mouth, and embraced you against his body with his other arm. You could feel the heat rise to your cheeks. "shhhhh..." He whispered, so close to your ear that it sent shivers down your spine. "Just try your best to breathe and calm down. Everything is going to be alright." He whispered again, now removing the hand that was over your mouth and placing it around you, so he could pull you closer to him, now rubbing light circles on your back.

That calmed you down very easily, and you were now melting further into his embrace, just like old times. You remember all the times where you, Gepard and Serval you hug like this. So warm and relaxing. Oh, what you would do to have that happen again. But wait... it was, but this time, with just you and Gepard. After a couple of minutes, and after you were both sure that the Stellaron monsters had left, Gepard pulled back a tiny bit, to look you in the face.

You then noticed how close your face was to his. His beautiful blue eyes, his fluffy dirty blonde hair, his soft lips. Everything was so close, yet still so far. You looked back up at his eyes only to notice that he was staring at your lips. You stifled out a soft giggle, which snapped him out of his trance, a light red decorating his cheeks. "I- I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable! I was just- I-" He tried to say, clearly tripping over his own words. "It's alright," you reassured him, slowly bring a hand up to his face, cupping it, and softly rubbing his cheek with your thumb. "You can kiss me if you'd like." You said, a hint of tease in your voice.

Gepard was stunned. Not even, stunned was an understatement. "What?" He asked, clearly not believing that this could be true. "I said, you can kiss me if you'd like." You replied, leaning in a tad bit closer to show him that you were being serious. "Alright," He said, "Can I kiss you?" How cute of him, asking for permission even though you already told him twice. "Go ahead." You said with a small giggle. Then, it happened.

He slowly pushed his lips against yours, and when they met, you could feel a spark. Finally, after so long this was finally happening! You reciprocated softly, as this was your first time after all. The kiss didn't last much longer after that, it was short, soft and sweet, and you loved it. You pulled away first, to catch your breath, until you felt a finger under your chin, lifting your head up. "[name]..." he whispered, and you knew exactly what he meant. You gave him a look, and he kissed you again, this time with a bit more passion than before.

He tilted his head as he kissed you, his hands now resting comfortably on your waist. You wrapped your arms around his neck, moving in closer, the kiss still continuing. You then had your hands in his hair, curling it around your fingers as he let out a soft groan. Oh, how you loved this man. He broke the kiss, as the both of you were heavily panting, trying to catch your breath. "I love you" he said, making your eyes shoot wide open.

"I love you so much [name]." He said, pulling you into a hug. You couldn't believe it, but you did the only thing thing that you could think of. 

"I love you too."
