[ She's about to say something else, when she feels his hands move up her arms, one resting on her cheek, an she's cut off abruptly when his lips suddenly meet hers. Her eyes widen a fraction from sheer surprise, but whatever formality that she'd had earlier gets dropped pretty quickly as she allows her eyes to drift shut so that she can properly indulge as she returns his kiss wholeheartedly. She's even so bold to wind her arms around his neck to pull herself just a little closer to him, fingers tangling loosely into his hair -- she knows her face must be as red as a tomato at this point, but she doesn't care.

This has been a long time coming, after all, and she's not going to waste this opportunity. His kiss is enough to tell her what she's been wondering to herself this whole time as well; he feels the same way as she does, at least she thinks he does -- it gets her hopes high and makes her feel as though there is no wrong in the world so long as she's with him.

That thought, along with his touch and kiss, is enough to send a pleasant shiver crawling up her spine -- if it were up to her, she'd stay like this forever, because right now all is right in the universe. It's only when she hears another couple who are passing them start giggling at them that she's dragged back to the realm of reality, and very slowly she pulls her lips away from his, but she doesn't go far, smiling happily and burying her face into the crook of his neck as she struggles to think of something that doesn't sound absolutely stupid to say. ]

Wow. [ Because that's not stupid, right? She doesn't mind, though, as she absently continues to play with his hair and trying to ignore how breathless she sounds when she speaks. ]

...You're wonderful, you know.

[runawayprince]

I don't know, I was going for impulsive but wonderful works.

[He'll take it. He can still feel her lips on his, marking him with a sensation that lingered like little sparks against his mouth. What had they been about to do before? His brain can't quite catch up because he feels like he's floating, but at the same time there's a sense of grief that still lingers. If he'd saved her they'd have been able to do silly impulsive things like this back home, right?

Even so, his arms are around her torso, though he still keeps his hands to himself. He's able to hold her close like this now, able to close and open his eyes again and have her still be here. He doesn't want to take that for granted. He can ignore giggling couples, as much as it makes him feel like denying anything intimate was going on out of embarrassment, because Luna is here and she kissed him back just as earnestly.]

Sorry if I, uh... if you want this to slow down I'm fine with that. I just feel like I'm kind of making up for the last week or so.

[Making up for the time he's spent struggling to sleep and struggling to reconcile that she's gone and no longer able to send him notes in their book or talk to him in that sweet voice of hers. Their home had hyped up this whole wedding thing, sure, but the feelings behind it were real for the both of them.]

[luxoraculi]

Wonderfully impulsive, then.

[ She's glad for this, for the fact that he's not letting her go just yet or stammering to make excuses to the people around them. As per usual, Noctis is so very genuine, only this time it's not pen to paper but instead up close and personal. She can't really remember the last time she'd been so happy -- the past few weeks before her passing it seemed like she'd done nothing but be sick and cry. She hadn't been able to find as much joy or happiness lately, mostly because she knew that her time was limited and things were spiraling out of her control. She wasn't sad about her inevitable death, though... she was sad for Noctis, because she'd known that it was going to hit him hard. She'd been sad for her brother, too... they didn't see eye to eye, but she loved her elder brother and knew that though he was encouraging her to continue on, he didn't really want her to.

As cold as Ravus could be, she knows he loves her just as much as she loves him, too.

Noctis' words have her humming and lifting her head again, her content smile still blissfully in tact as she leans in to lightly press her lips against his again, allowing the contact to linger just long enough to let him know that she is, in fact, perfectly fine with this, and that he doesn't need to worry or be nervous. She lightly pulls away but remains close, her eyes practically sparkling with the happiness that she's feeling right now. ]

I don't think you understand how happy you've just made me... but you've nothing to make up for. I'm just glad that you are here. I know that you are needed at home as well, so please forgive me for being so selfish.

[ But really, while she's got the chance, she definitely wants to keep him all to herself, even if it's just for a little while. ]

[runawayprince]

Lets not worry about home for a minute, okay?

[Because damn it every time her lips touch his he feels as if everything else could very well melt away. Just as she lingers, when she tries to pull away he follows, going in for another kiss. It was more than he could have dreamed of, to have a chance to be with her again.]

I mean... sure. Everything back there is important but I'm thinking it might be a while before we figure out how to get back there, right?

[Yup. Definitely still distracted by the kissing thing. Forget going to eat food or people gawking at them. He'd gone from swimming in grief to feeling like he was floating in the clouds. Let him float a little longer. Duties be damned.]

We'll figure it all out. I promise.

[And he's not exactly in any rush to go where she won't be.]

[luxoraculi]

Gladly.

[ She's not being very responsible right now and she knows it -- her job is to inspire Noctis to continue on his journey after all, but she's kind of doing the exact opposite right now. To be fair, though, it's not like he could go gallivanting off right now even if he wanted to. His kisses and touches are more than enough to push any thoughts of home or duties aside; as a matter of fact, as she meets him half way for yet another kiss, she could care less about what's happening at home right now. In her mind, all that matters is the here and now and him. ]

Agreed... we can worry about that later.

[ She can't quite recall the last time she felt so incredibly content, as though everything was right in the world. Everything is certainly right in this particular world, at least she thinks as she smiles against his lips. So long as she's got Noctis with her, she can handle whatever this particular place throws at them, because right now she's got not even a single worry.

Her smile widens, and she hums as she leans up to press light kisses all over his face, feeling pretty darned bold right now considering what they've just been doing, and she's not in any hurry to move. ]

I know. We have plenty of time.
