Bridging Destinies

Chapter 36: Confessions and Intimacies

It only took two cups of the alcoholic beverage for Namjoon to feel it. He noticed it took more for Felina, as she was now finishing her third cup, but perhaps she was used to it, he thought giddily to himself. She laughed as she watched him, teetering a little on the logs they had brought over to surround the portable fire pit they'd brought with them, preferring to sit on the logs rather than the ground. As he finished off the last of his second cup, he held it out for more. Laughing again, she resealed the jug with a shake of her head, putting it aside, "Oh no, Joonah. If you have more, you will be lost to it." She told him.

He frowned and looked at his empty cup then held his cup towards her, speaking carefully, "I can handle my liquor." She smirked, but said nothing about his confidence and took his cup from him. Thinking she was going to fill it again, he grinned cheekily at her, but she set it down with her own out of the way.

"Later." She said, still appearing to be in charge of her faculties, "We can save it for tomorrow, yes?" Namjoon pursed his lips, but conceded to her suggestion with a pout.

"Ya." He suddenly exclaimed, as he held out his hands, staring down at them, as if forgetting that he was supposed to be pouting, "What is this glowing? Like, I'm glowing!" He continued to hold out his hand as he swayed a little, "Wow! Is this from the Drommata?" He said, mispronouncing it in his inebriated state. Felina watched him, highly amused and nodded. He glanced at her, then back at his hands and wiggled his fingers, "Am I glowing from the drink, or am I just seeing the glow now 'cause of it?"

She stood and took his hands, then maneuvered her body to straddle his lap while he sat there slightly swaying. He wrapped his arms around her and linked his hands together, threading his fingers to hold onto her tightly, "Well hello there." He said softly, briefly distracted from his previous questions, and gazed at her.

His distraction didn't last as he studied her, then announced, "Huh. Look at that. You are glowing too. Well, more than normal." He leaned his body away from her, so he could get a good look at her.

"I'm always glowing." She explained, "You just don't usually see it this well."

"I didn't think I could glow too." He said with a faint frown, then grinned, "Am I absorbing your glow or something?"

Felina laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing the corner of his mouth softly, with a feather light touch. He hummed in pleasure at the kiss and his pleasure grew into a sense of gentle contentment as he listened to her melodious voice which seemed more beautiful than it had before, "It's your aura, sweet Joonah." She told him with a simple explanation. "It's the spirit that drives your body. It is what glows."

He smiled back at her, with a look of faint awe gleaming in his eyes, "It's beautiful. The glow." He continued to gaze at her, his heart in his eyes. "You're beautiful." He continued, "So very beautiful."

Felina responded with a soft smile. "So are you, Jagiya." She whispered softly and kissed the other corner of his mouth in the same manner as before. He hummed again, his voice almost sounding like a song. She laughed on a soft breath, the sound barely audible, then kissed his nose.

"Do it again." He suggested and she tilted her head and leaned back to look at him curiously.

She questioned, ignoring her extra sense of him, as if seeking mystery in her communication with him, "Do what? Kiss you?"

He pulled her closer to his body, nuzzling her neck with his face affectionately, "No. I mean yes, but not yet. I mean that thing. I don't know what it is, but it feels good and I can feel you doing it sometimes. I feel warm all over when you do it and it feels like I am wrapped in a soft, sexy blanket. I think you are doing it a little now."
