Dream's POV:

"Techno!" I shouted, rushing up the side of the hill.

Techno was standing by a large rose bush, fingers caressing delicately at each careful bloom. The petals lied gracefully around, embellishing the ground with flakes of color.

Startled, he turned to face me, eyes seeming to light up.

"Dream." He acknowledged, voice blank as ever. Although, there was a disguised sense of awkwardness. Almost nervous. He was hiding something.

It's because I'm leaving, isn't it?

"You don't have to be sad. I'll be back within a week," I cooed, laughing a little, "I would never leave my bride behind."

He rolled his eyes at that, tsking a little, "You really think I'm sad? Affection is cringe." he snapped. Although, his voice held no real malice. Just a bare hint of sadness.

We really have been spending too much time together... even a few days seems long-distanced...

Coyly, I tilted my mask, flashing a fake sad expression, "You won't miss me? And here I thought we were getting along."

I gave an innocent pout, "I guess you really hate-"

"I-I didn't say that!" Techno protested, going a little red. "Maybe I will miss you a little..."

A light grin crept onto my face at that. God, he was cute.

But even through the adorableness, I couldn't help feeling sad.

A deep, unsettling misery curled in my chest. I really wanted mother to come to the wedding... I even wrote to her multiple times. Maybe that's why she hadn't responded recently. Probably ill in bed.

Heaving a sigh, I glanced up to meet Techno's concerned gaze. His soft, wispy curls were billowing longer now, lingering past his shoulder. Mother would love him. She did always like beautiful things.

Reaching out, I brushed a lock from his face, tucking it delicately behind his ear. He flushed a red, eyes averting bashfully.

"Your hair is nice," I laughed, smiling at his flushed expression. He shuffled in place, clearly avoiding my eyes.

The atmosphere has changed. Especially with the scenery... it was almost as if...

A sudden pair of arms wrapped around my body, holding almost hesitantly. The deep embers of affection immediately ignited within, burning like a fireplace hearth. And I, a helpless moth, allured to its touch.

"I thought you hated hugs," I whispered, caressing at his back. Techno laughed breathily in my ear, pulling me a fraction closer. His mellifluous giggle flooded every thought. Sweet, sweet music.

"Not when it's you," he murmured, a little shy. My heart was racing so impossibly quick, practically beating out of my chest. The surface inches of my skin tingled with a sparkling desire. The feeling was electrical.

Then, pulling away slightly, I faced him. His stare was soft, face still dusted with a rosy pink. My eyes trailed down the art piece, grazing onto the soft curves of his smile. Like a true fairytale prince. Ethereal, ethereal being. And then...

Chu~

He leaned in, gracing a bare brush of the lips. At first, chaste and gentle. Hesitant almost. Then, forming into one of vigor and passion. It sent my head dancing a new high.
