Sly Cooper: mon ciel nocturne bien-aimé (Sly x OC)

New horizons

Adelyn's P.O.V:

We're finally home. Clockwerk's done for, we saved Inaya, and practically saved the world.

We celebrated, having a party back at our hideout. Drank soda, ate delicious dinner I cook up for everyone, even some cake.

Though Murray and Inaya had a lot of fun as they got along great, even have a soda drinking contest. Though it turned out to be a draw, which was quite a surprise for me and the boys.

I left the boys alone with Inaya, letting them spend time together. As I step out of the train cart, l hopped on top of the van to star gaze.

Till I sensed a certain blue boy raccoon behind me, and smiled as I scooch over for him as he now sits next to me, letting him join me.

"I just can't believe we actually did it, Sly. I feel so... so..." I cut the silence, trying to describe this big feeling within me with all of the huge weight I felt lifted off of me. "Happy? Free? And at peace?" He presumes. And I nodded.

"Yeah. Me too. At long last, the Thievius Raccoonus is restored to it's original state." He smiled as he took out the book as I lean on his shoulder to look at our families' most valued treasure.

"Inaya's saved, Clockwerk is no more, And now our parents will finally find peace, Knowing we're all together again." I smiled as I closed my eyes of such relief.

Till I felt Sly's hand holding onto mine, "Speaking of 'Together'. Adelyn, Did what you said, back at the gas chamber where you almost died, true? Inspector Fox and Foxmor didn't seem too shocked about that, Like they knew. Did they?" He questioned, sounding unsure yet determined.

I twitched in shock, just remembering that time when I thought I was gonna die. I'm surprise he remembers and brought it up.

"Do you... Love me?" He asked me, lightly squeezing my hand a little. I knew I couldn't hold this crush in forever.

I sighed, standing up as I opened my eyes looking into his as he stands up too. "Y-yes, I do... I have been, my whole life actually. When we first met that day when we were children." I confess, as I slowly look away, softly slipping my hand off his as I slowly walk only 5 meters apart from him.

Sly was speechless for only a minute, and I'd understand if this is too much for him. "And... I'd understand if you're not ready for all thi-" I was cut off by a sudden pull from his cane and he holds me by the waist.

"S-s-s-Sly...?" I couldn't fully ask my question as he softly hushes me, looking at me with those beautiful brown eyes.

And with the moonlight shining down on us, he looked more handsome with it's light on him. Till he gently cups my cheek with his hand, Feeling this need to be close with him.

And I wanted that, But I wasn't sure if Sly really wants to. But I gave in, leaning a little closer as he does as well.
