Arlecchino | Kiss Me

Have you received the same lecture sometime last week? Yes. Did you genuinely listen to any of the words that were said? Yes. Then why are you sitting here, injured once again?

On top of that, instead of getting treated by the usual pharmacist, however, you unfortunately had to run into your girlfriend while you were heading to get patched up.

And that was quite a surprise encounter... because according to Lyney, she was supposed to be out on a mission today in the Beryl Region. Yet, here she is, still around the area, elegantly walking toward you with some mint, golden berries, and some sort of other unknown plant in her hand.

Although the expression on her face is one of seriousness as usual, no indications of anger, annoyance, nor disappointment, her silence is making you feel a little stiff and awkward.

Arlecchino crouches down in front of your legs, which are decorated with fresh cuts and rashes. She continues to remain wordless as she begins to mash some golden berries and mint into her hands together before applying the paste onto your skin. A slightly tingly, cooling sensation is left behind.

She continues to repeat this application process for the rest of the injuries on your arms as well. Since you happened to have a cut on the side of your face, she gets a small amount on her forefinger and carefully dabs it onto the wound. Her dark gaze is focused on the task at hand, not bothered by your shy stare.

"Recklessness," she begins, her deep and soothing voice filling the silence, "is not always ideal, for it often leads to failure."

You pout and lower your head, as to which she quickly grabs onto your chin to steady your head upright. "Sorry... I'll be extra careful from now on," you murmur, gaze averted to the side.

She hums and continues to apply the natural healing paste onto your small cuts. "And I presume you announce the very same thing rather often."

"What... no..."

Arlecchino's thumb gently presses under your eye as she strokes the area slowly. It feels so loving and sweet... a contrast from her serious and nonchalant demeanor. Your heart flutters as you meet her eyes, your fingers gripping onto your pants in a mixture of nervousness and happiness. It seems she always has this intense effect on you whenever she's this close—so much so that you guys can almost kiss as her lips brush against yours.

A surprised gasp falls from your lips when she smirks and moves away, slowly rising to her feet.

The reaction is expected, but still... you can't hide the sheer disappointment this time around as you immediately reach out to hold onto her sleeve.

She raises a brow, remaining wordless.

You have a sudden urge to just kick yourself, or better yet, jump into the nearby lake. It looks pretty deep enough to the point where you can drown yourself. Anything to escape from her burning stare and deadly silence is much needed right now, but then again, you don't know if you even want to deal with her wrath after you attempt to drown.

She wouldn't show mercy to your ghostly form either; you're certain of it.

Laughing awkwardly, you let go of her sleeve and rub your neck."Um... my hands slipped. Anyway, thanks for—A-Arlecchino?!"

Your girlfriend leans down, her fingers firmly around your chin, as she hovers her lips above yours in a teasing manner. She's messing with you...! You can feel yourself getting hot, almost suffocating, as you swallow nervously. Is she using her pyro abilities right now? You swear it feels like you're sweating profusely at this moment, your eyes losing focus on the lovely white, black, and red.

Then, her breathy voice fans your lips, "I have no objections to kiss you. What are you waiting for?"

Aside from the evident stuffiness, her natural way of speaking and moving in such an elegantly sensual-like manner is making your heart soar badly. Yes, you want to kiss her, but you can't move. She's keeping you frozen, able to control your movements with her invisible threads—simply her voice and attention.

She loosens her hold on your chin.

"Kiss me."

Even getting this first kiss with Arlecchino is difficult. She just wants to see you squirm under her touch and gaze.
