Another morning another da- no. Today was different, you had a girlfriend now and while nothing was technically different, it was the simple fact that you loved each other that made this special. But you had work to do so it was time to get up.

(Y/n): "hey... Shion, wake up." While not ecstatic, she got up rather quickly.

Shion: "is it morning already?"

(Y/n): "yep, im going to go set up the table outside, do you mind making breakfast?"

Shion: "ya, i think i can do that." And with that you went off to go set up your table and her to try and make breakfast

You had joked that some people had started worshipping you as a fortune god. This wasn't entirely unfounded, some villagers had indeed been leaving you gifts and whenever you caught them, they'd just hand it to you directly.
After setting up your table, you noticed another one of these gifts and took it back with you.

(Y/n): "im back!" You noticed that Shion had actually been able to cook, which was a pleasant surprise.

Shion: "oh good, breakfast is ready." And indeed it was, and no you were actually wrong, shion can not infact cook, at least not well. Either way, food is food. While you were eating you told Shion about the gift at the door

(Y/n): "i also got one of those gifts i was telling you about."

Shion: "wait, you were serious about that?"

(Y/n): "yep, this time its incense! This stuff is usually burned for worship."

Shion: "do they really see you as a god?"

(Y/n): "i think they see me as more of a prophet, but 'the god of fortune' just kind of sounds better. Also it complements you pretty well." She seemed flustered by the remark.

Joon walks into the room having smelt smoke from her's and upon seeing Shion at the stove, immediately began to question the company she keeps.

(Y/n): "oh, hey Joon! When did you get up?"

Joon: "a while ago, actually I was waiting for you to bring me my food but..." She glared at Shion. "Im not eating that girls cooking."she went about the kitchen scavenging for something to eat.

(Y/n): "sorry, i was just setting up the table outside. Speaking of which, do you want this incense?"

Joon: "huh? sure, why not?" In addition to the food she scavenged from the kitchen, she took the incense and went back to her room, but not before making a remark. "Just because you're dating my sister doesn't mean you have to eat her cooking" it had been less than a day, was it really that obvious?

You and shion were left there blushing as you finished your breakfast, from there you did your standard readings and eventually dusk came. But... The night was still young and you wanted to do something with shion, so you decided to go stargazing.

(Y/n): "come on Shion, you're almost up!" You were trying to climb the roof so you could stare at the night sky. "Just reach a little higher" she had already boosted you up, now it was your turn to pull her up.

Shion: "i-im trying!" She was reaching for your hand until... "Wait. I could probably just fly."

(Y/n): "you can fly?" It had been over three weeks and you had walked everywhere with her. This would have been great to know

Shion: "ya... i guess i should have told you." And with that she flew up onto the roof

(Y/n): "well better late than never. Anyway, now that were up here we can just lie down and look at the stars." Didn't sound as romantic out loud but she was a poverty goddess, this was probably the most romantic thing shes experienced.

Shion: "ok, then what?"

(Y/n): "well... Then we point out constellations and the moon and other pretty things in the sky." It was a clear night, so stars were plentiful. "Oh, like that one! Its called leo." You assumed that she knew where you were pointing

Shion: "leo?"

(Y/n): "ya, its named after the Nemean lion. Though now a days people only care about it for astrology, and stargazing i guess but mostly astrology."

Shion: "its still pretty i guess" at this point you were both laying on the roof, just looking up, admiring the view and each other's company. "what's astrology anyway?"

(Y/n) : "well, its kind of like cartomancy in that no-one believes its practical. But while cartomancy uses playing cards to tell the future, astrology is used to determine a persons personality by using 12 specific constellations and sometimes Ophiuchius."

Shion: "12?" Her arms were wrapped around one of yours

(Y/n): "ya, the 12 zodiacs, and ophiuchius i guess..." You started telling her about the zodiacs and various other constellations. You seemed so passionate about it and that made her happy. "... and thats why astrologists are bad at dating"

Shion: "do... Pretty lights in the sky really hold that much meaning to people?"

(Y/n): "ya, but most people only learn their zodiacs for fun. A select few however let it dominate their life and personality."

Shion: "and what about you?"

(Y/n): "i like to learn about this type of stuff, astrology, cartomancy, folklore and a bunch of other stuff, but just because i enjoy learning about it doesn't mean i really believe it"

Shion: "i guess that makes sense...

(Y/n): "ya, and now its my turn to ask you a question. Why do you like me Shion?"

Shion: "I... I think its because you're one of the few people that I can be around without anything bad happening. I mean... you're not entirely immune but you and your charm suppress my powers pretty well, also you've been really nice to me ever since we met." She was a bit closer than before. "And... Why do you like me?"

(Y/n): "Well, I could say that your cute, which you are, but that's just a surface reason. I can't really put my finger on it, but maybe its the way your traits all come together. Rather than one of your qualities, its just you as a whole that I like." she was a bit caught off guard by your unorthodox answer. It could easily be seem as lazy or cheap, but she still found it endearing. She snuggled closer to you. "Do you... Want to go back inside?

Shion: "maybe after some more stargazing"

After gazing at the night sky for a bit longer, she flew you down and from there you went back inside. The house was quite, Joon was likely asleep and you were kind of tired, not really exhausted, just sleepy. Upon entering the room you lied down on the bed and Shion next to you.

(Y/n): "did you enjoy tonight?"

Shion: "ya, it was nice... Thank you for this." You held her close as once again, sleep began to claim you.

(Y/n): "good night Shion..." She wrapped her arms around you in response.

Shion: "good night (y/n), sweet dreams..." Annnnd sleep
