Ephemeral

The Trigger

In Thomas' bedroom

Eva *closes her eyes and blushes* - hey, you are too close...

Thomas *cracks knuckles* - well, I have to be this close for me to do it

Eva *eyes still closed* - do...what? no, wait...that's n-

Thomas - here I go!!

Thomas grabs Eva's waist and starts tickling her as he holds her legs down with his, so she doesn't escape. 

Eva *laughing uncontrollably* - whaaa hahahha...no hahahah...stop hahaha...this...

Thomas - who is better now? Me or the Prince? say it!

Eva *out of breath*- You....you...you are...

Thomas *grinning*- Finally, I wi-ack!

Eva *smacks Thomas' head* - STOP IT THOMAS!

Thomas stops and falls beside Eva while Eva tries to get up and move herself far away from Thomas to prevent herself from experiencing that again. But Thomas grabs her hand and pulls her into his embrace, giving her a back hug while lying down.

Eva *scared* - Thomas please no more, I already said-

Thomas *gently kisses her ear* - let's stay like this for the night. I have missed you.

Eva *calms down* - I...I missed you too

Eva turns around suddenly and hugs Thomas, burying her face into his chest while shedding tears of joy. At the same time, Thomas feels the same way and hugs her tightly. The two sleep peacefully in each other's warm embrace as their heartbeats synchronize. 

The purple and turquoise gems glow and share their colours, Thomas' necklace has a hint of purple and Eva's bracelet gets a hint of turquoise.

In the morning

As the sunlight gradually enters through the windows, it falls onto Thomas' face making his eyes twitch and open slightly. As he opens his eyes completely, the view he sees before him brings a soft smile as he admires it. The view was nothing but Eva's cute sleeping face, Thomas goes closer and gives a small peck on her nose causing her to wake up. 

Eva *half-asleep* - Thomas...hmmm...it's morning?

Thomas - yeah, good morning beautiful 

Eva - goo moning!

Thomas - OMG!! she's so cute!! what's with her cute pronunciation, ah, I just wanna squeeze her and put her in my pocket!!

During this whole panic inside Thomas' head, Eva slowly goes up to Thomas and kisses him on the lips. This causes Thomas' brain to shut down as he couldn't process just what happened, thinking this was a dream he closed his eyes and tried to wake up.

Eva *confused* - Thomas? Are you going to sleep again? You remember we have to meet up with Dad right?

Thomas *surprised* - wait!! Is this real? did you actually...ki...ki...kiss..

Eva - yes. 

Thomas *feels a sharp arrow piercing his heart* - that means...I can gi-

Eva- omg, yes, you are so slow. Never mind, I am just going to get ready. See you in the King's hall. *gets up and leaves the room*

Thomas *frozen*- but...but...I was about to do it...*sad*

In the King's Hall

King Percious - I see, they are here, let them in
