Way to the Dawn [Eng Version]

Chapter X: Operation Brighton

Seems like this "nap" had lasted much longer than expected, since when Keith woke up, the day was already dawning.

-...A new day begins, huh...?

He yawned openly while leaning back a little more against the brunet who was still sleeping peacefully. Strangely, he still held him in his arms, despite this improvised nap. This finding made the redhead smile, and he amused himself by observing the serene face of his angel.

-...Such a beautiful Angel...How could I have been so lucky?

For a long time the 12th Top Ranger was lost in contemplation, playing with the soft brown locks from time to time, until their owner began to emerge from his slumber.

- Hello my Angel...~

-....Hello Sunrise...

The younger one, after muttering his response under his breath, dislodged himself slightly so he could hide his head in his boyfriend's neck. The latter let him do so, deciding simply to rest his chin on the top of his head.

Aw...~ What an adorable partner...~

- Haha... You're not a morning person, aren't you?

- Leave me just 2 minutes, the time that I recover my neurons...

- As you wish.~

The youngest purred in contentment while enjoying the warmth created by his partner. And true to his words, he quickly became operational, ready to do any mission.

The two ended up getting out of bed, not without exchanging a little kiss before that.

- Well, I'll let you get ready in peace. Shall we meet up there?

- It's fine with me! Oh, and if you see Fischl, can you tell her that she can come back?

- No problemo. See you later, my Angel.

Keith bent over slightly and kissed his boyfriend again, then happily walked out of the room. This made the owner of said room chuckle.

-...See you soon, Sunrise.

A good quarter of an hour later, the brunet finished preparing himself, as well as his feathered beast who had joined him in the meantime.

- (I told you it was all a big misunderstanding!)

- N-No need to remind me!

...She was also gently teasing her partner.

- (Anyway...I'm glad to know that it ended well. I admit I panicked a little when Sapph got us out of there.)

- I can't really blame you...But know that I'm really sorry for worrying you and Sapphire.

The Staraptor nodded gently before starting to rub her head affectionately against Kellyn's.

- (Don't worry. No one died.)

She felt the human relax a little as he tenderly returned her affection. The fact that it worried him didn't surprise her that much. He was always very empathetic after all.

- (Let's forget this little accident and focus on the present. We have to go see the chairperson, right?)

- Yeah. Let's hope they were able to discover something about the Incredible Machine...

The duo headed somewhat hastily towards the Operations room, preferring that to being worried sick over theorizing.

When they reached the 3rd floor, Fiore's duo was already there. The 12th Top Ranger's crimson eyes lit up happily upon seeing the brown hair.
