another union academy: From Weakest To Strongest

chapter 39

As Winter prepared to leave, I couldn't resist teasing her a bit more. With a playful pout, I exclaimed,

Me:Where's my kiss?

Her cheeks flushed crimson as she turned to face me, clearly caught off guard by my sudden request.

Winter:You really wanna die, don't you?

Winter retorted with a mix of amusement and embarrassment, her eyes narrowing slightly.

I flashed her a mischievous grin, undeterred by her warning.

Me:Kiss me, and then you can kill me

I quipped, leaning in slightly to emphasize my playful challenge.

Winter's blush deepened, but a small smile tugged at the corners of her lips. "You're impossible," she muttered, shaking her head in mock exasperation.

Me:come on, Winter, don't leave me hanging

I teased, leaning closer in anticipation.

After a moment of hesitation, Winter relented, leaning in to press a quick, chaste kiss on my cheek. Her lips lingered for a moment, sending a warm tingle through me, before she pulled away with a faint blush still coloring her cheeks.

Winter:There, happy now?

Winter asked with a playful glint in her eyes,

I chuckled, feeling a sense of satisfaction at having teased Winter successfully. "Ecstatic," I replied with a grin, waving her off as she made her way to the exit.

As Winter blushed furiously at my playful insistence, I couldn't help but pout, expressing my desire for a kiss on the lips rather than just the cheek.

Me:I wanted on the lips

I puffed my cheeks in mock disappointment, teasing her further.

Her blush deepened even more, her embarrassment evident in the way she fumbled for words. "You... you," she stammered, unable to form a coherent response as her cheeks burned with embarrassment.

Seeing her adorable reaction only fueled my playful mood. With a mischievous grin, I decided to take matters into my own hands – or lips, rather. Without hesitation, I floated closer to Winter and pressed my lips against hers in a deep, lingering kiss.

At first, Winter was taken aback, her eyes widening in surprise. But as the kiss continued, she melted into it, her initial shock giving way to a soft sigh of contentment. Her arms instinctively wrapped around me, pulling me closer as she leaned into the kiss, her own lips responding to mine with a gentle fervor.

The world seemed to fade away as we lost ourselves in the moment, the warmth of the kiss and the closeness between us creating an intimate connection that transcended words. It was a tender, affectionate exchange that spoke volumes about our friendship and the bond we shared.

When we finally parted, a soft blush still tinted Winter's cheeks, but there was a shy smile playing on her lips.

Winter:You... you're something else

she murmured, her voice filled with a mix of bashfulness and fondness.

I grinned, feeling a sense of warmth and happiness at having shared such a genuine moment with Winter.

Me:Just keeping things interesting

I replied playfully, floating back to the ground with a lightness in my step.

As Winter turned to leave, a pang of longing tugged at my heart. I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness knowing that her job and my own responsibilities often kept us apart for long periods of time. Before she could take another step, I impulsively wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her close in a tight embrace.
