“So uh…” IRyS starts talking. “How’d you like your couple experience?”

Oh yeah, we were doing that.

Kronii had gotten so used to IRyS’ clinginess she forgot the reason she even started acting like that.

“It was… alright”

IRyS stares at her with a bit of a frown. “Just alright?”

Kronii looks back at her. “Well, besides you never letting go of me, it… didn’t feel that much different than usual.”

“…What do you mean by that?”

“Wellll…” Kronii takes this as an opportunity to keep teasing her. “Since you were my girlfriend”—She does air quotes while saying that–, “I kind of
expected… I dunno, something more direct?"

IRyS’ expression doesn’t change. “What would you have preferred, then?”

“Like, you know, maybe being more aggressive… no beating around the bush…” She smirks at IRyS, she doesn’t respond so she keeps piling on. “Maaaaaaybe something more… yabaIRyS? I never know with you.”

Satisfied with her bullying, she grabs IRyS’ arm. “Now let’s go to the station already. The train’s about to leave.”

IRyS doesn’t budge.

“Hm?” Kronii turns to look at her. “What’s wrong?”

Only after thinking a little does she remember that most of what she described are things that IRyS already does.

While she’s in her demon side, that is.

Kronii feels something changing with her friend.

…Is that a dark aura she sees?

“Uhh, y-you know that was a joke, ri—”

IRyS grabs her face.

“I-IRyS?”

She pulls her in, forcing her lips onto hers.

“Mm! IWy—!”

The nephilim wraps her lips around hers. She attacks her again and again.

“Wai—”

She doesn’t let Kronii talk. She bites her lip hard enough, so Kronii feels some pain.

“Mmsto—”

Just as she tries to open her mouth, IRyS inserts her tongue.

What is she—?!

Kronii can’t even think correctly as the nephilim’s tongue intertwines with hers. It almost tastes like chocolate.

During the kissing Kronii can’t avoid drinking some of IRyS’ saliva. With each kiss, something feels increasingly wrong. The clock starts feeling hot. She also notices there are a few couple staring at them, slack jawed. IRyS’ display of affection might be a little too much even for Valentine’s day.

“I-IRy— Mm! N-not… Mmph… in public…"

IRyS listens to what she says and starts slowing down. After what feels like an eternity, IRyS finally stops kissing her. She leaves the clock gasping for air, having to clean her mouth from all the nephilim spit.

“W-what is wrong with you?!”

IRyS completely ignores the question.

“So it’s fine if we’re in private, huh.”

She grabs Kronii’s arm and starts leading her in the complete opposite direction from the station.

“Hey!”

Kronii tries to pull back to no avail.

“IRyS, what are you doing?!”

“I’m just doing what you said to do.” She doesn’t look back and keeps walking. “You said you wanted something yabai, right?”

She squeezes Kronii’s hand.

“I’ll give you exactly that.”

A shiver runs down Kronii’s spine.

What the hell does she mean by that?

IRyS takes a different turn from the walk they had taken. With the way she’s walking it’s like she knows exactly where she’s going.

“If it’s because of the teasing, I’m sorry, okay? I really enjoyed our time together!”

“…”

Ignored again.

In all her time knowing her, she’s never acted like this, no matter how much Kronii makes fun of her. Frustrated, Kronii tries to look around to see if there’s anything that can help her learn what triggered this change. She takes a peek at IRyS’ bag and notices something different. The box of chocolates she got for her is open, it seems she ate a couple of them.

When did she even eat them?

Is that really why she changed like that?

*…What the hell is in those chocolates?!”

Kronii doesn’t get a chance to ponder those questions when she notices the building they’re approaching. It looks completely ordinary other than there are no windows, only couples are entering it and there are hearts in some of the signs.

…Oh no…

“H-hey, man.” Kronii’s voice trembles a little. “L-let’s think about this for a second, okay?”

They go inside and IRyS approaches a pane of glass. She still hasn’t let go of Kronii’s hand.

“We’d like to rent a room.”

What appears to be a staff member behind the glass starts reaching for a key to one of the rooms.

“Overnight?”

IRyS takes a quick glance at her partner.

“Yeah.”

OVERNIGHT?!

Kronii can almost feel her heart beating out of her chest. All the blood is rushing to her face. She starts to sweat, her thoughts going a mile a minute thinking about everything that could happen in the next hours.

IRyS finishes paying and pulls Kronii towards the elevator. She pins her to the corner as she pushes the number of their floor. She kisses her even more aggressively, occasionally licking her neck or biting her ear.

“Ha! Ngh! IRyS!”

Kronii tries pushing her back but IRyS won’t stop. She grabs both of her arms and places them against the wall. She puts her knee between Kronii’s legs and presses against her crotch. Kronii’s chin drips with IRyS’ spit from all the kissing. Slowly but surely, her resistance dwindles.

The elevator door opens and Kronii hears people having a conversation. She opens her eyes to see another couple staring at them. She turns beet red and tries to shake IRyS off, but the nephilim continues to relentlessly kiss her. The couple starts blushing, they can’t take their eyes off of this scene.

-“I-IRyS… please…”

Miraculously, IRyS stops kissing Kronii. She stares at her for a minute. Kronii looks at her, her eyes somehow still have the same kindness in them… it’s just that there’s now quite a bit of lust as well. IRyS grabs her arm again to pull Kronii to their room. While walking, she wipes off some of Kronii’s drool and drinks it. The couple they encountered don’t take their eyes off of them until they enter the hotel room.

IRyS almost kicks the door open. She pushes the reluctant Kronii in then slams the door shut. Their room has a TV, a sofa, a table, a bathroom that probably has a jacuzzi and a huge bed. IRyS doesn’t seem to care about any of that, focusing only on Kronii.

“C-can’t we just talk and sleep?” Kronii tries to bargain. “We’ve slept together a few times already anyways.”

IRyS smirks at her. She takes of her jacket and approaches her.

“We have, haven’t we?”

Kronii backs away as IRyS keeps walking. Eventually, she walks into the bed and falls. IRyS follows her and straddles on top of her.

“We’ve gone on a lot of dates too…”

Surprisingly, the nephilim only kisses Kronii’s cheek as she looks at her.

“Hey, Kronii…”

She caresses her face and moves her hair out of the way.

“Wanna try touching third base?”

Kronii’s eyes widen. From her tone of voice and from her face, IRyS isn’t joking.

“I… I don’t think… that’s a good idea.”

IRyS leans in to start attacking her again. She licks her ear.

“Hmmmm? You sure?”

Kronii can only muster a nod.

“Really, really sure?”

She nods again.

“Then why haven’t you done anything?”

Kronii blinks.

“H-huh?”

IRyS throws the sweater behind her, showing off her bra.

“You know, stopping time?”

“T-that’s…”

She’s right. Why didn’t Kronii just snap her fingers? She also could’ve easily avoided all of this if she just turned back time and answered IRyS’ question differently.

“Kronii…”

IRyS leans in again, Kronii tries to stop her with her hands. The nephilim responds by biting and licking her fingers.

“Maybe…”

IRyS licks her neck.

“Juuuuust maybe…”

She playfully bites her shoulder.

“You actually wanted this?”

“W-WHAT?!”

“Hehehehe…” IRyS moves to her ear. “I didn’t know you were such a perv, Kronii~.” She blows on it.

“Nngh!” Kronii covers her ear. “N-no I’m not!”

“It’s okay, Kronii.” IRyS pulls back and looks at her from above, giving her a mischievous smile. “It’ll be our little secret~.” She starts taking off her sweater. Her tiara falls to the side of the bed.

She reveals a white bra with black patterns, almost like stained glass. The apexes are adorned with flowers, and the center reminds Kronii of the nephilim’s chest brooch.

…Was this custom made?

“Do you like it?” IRyS flaunts her chest proudly. “I bought this pretty recently!”

“Were you… planning on this?”

Kronii tries to get up, but with IRyS on top of her she can’t get away.

“Nope.” She gives her a quick kiss on the lips. “But it was a nice coincidence.”

“G-good for you…”

“Come on, Kronii~.” IRyS slides her hands under her sweater. “I bet you put something really cute on.”

Kronii doesn’t put much resistance anymore. She just looks away while blushing. IRyS pulls her sweater off and admires the treasure she found.

“I knew it~... Wait, do we match?”

A white bra with blue frills on the upper cups. And almost like IRyS’, there are blue flowers right where the straps connect.

“You’re so cute, Kronii~.”

“Shut up…”

She makes Kronii lie down again as she continues to kiss her body. Starting from her shoulders, she moves to her collarbone, tracing it with her tongue.

“Hrn…”

Instead of going for her breasts, IRyS moves over them to kiss her stomach.

“Nice abs~.”

She presses her hands against them, carefully caressing Kronii’s body.

“Hmm… Nh…”

Kronii tries to resist, but it’s getting harder and harder to suppress herself. The tickling sensation when IRyS carefully runs her fingers down her abdomen and the rest of her body is starting to be too much for her to handle. There must be something that’s making her resistance wane so quickly.

IRyS enjoys the clocks reactions when she looks up to her. She licks just above Kronii’s pants and reaches her navel. She kisses it a few times before inserting her tongue.

“IRyS…”

“What? Do you want me to play with something else instead?” She moves her hands and pushes Kronii’s breasts together. “Or some other things?”

“I never said tha—”

“I’d be glad to~.”

IRyS fondles her breasts and kissing whatever isn’t covered by Kronii’s bra.

“Mm…”

IRyS smiles when she listens to Kronii’s moans.

“Feeling nice?”

Kronii snaps out of it and glares at her.

“How could I ever?”

IRyS rolls her eyes. “Oh yeah, sorryyyy.” She plays with Kronii’s breasts. “I forgot I only bring you pain.”

“Glad you… realize it…”

The nephilim moves next to Kronii’s shoulder.

“Maybe you’ll feel this.”

Kronii tries to look at her, but she can’t see what she’s doing.

“What are you— OW!"

DID SHE JUST BITE ME?!

“Did you feel that?”

Kronii can see the bite marks she left on her. The most prominent ones being from her fangs. She turns and glares at her. The nephilim simply smiles, showing off what caused her harm.

In a rage, Kronii gets up to push her down. Surprisingly, IRyS doesn’t attempt to resist, she lets Kronii take her down. She even pulls Kronii in to make it easier for her.

“…What are you planning?”

IRyS smirks at her.

“Who? Me?”

Kronii feels something on her back… IRyS’ hands?

“I’m just helping you out~.”

She unhooks Kronii’s bra.

“Got youuuu~.”

“YOU FREAKIN—”

Kronii jumps from the shock. She turns her attention to her back and tries to fix her bra. IRyS takes this chance to get behind her.

“Aw Kronii, don’t be like thaaat~.”

She moves her arms away right as she was about to fix her top.

“Let’s let those puppies out~.”

She takes Kronii’s bra off.

“Oh those are some BIG puppies.”

“Please shut up.”

IRyS hugs her from behind and plays with her breasts again.

“Mm… ah…”

Kronii bites her finger to try to stop herself from moaning. IRyS keeps fondling her, massaging her breasts, trying to weigh them or just squeezing them.

“IRyS…”

She pays no mind to Kronii. Using her fingers she slides to Kronii’s nipples and gently pinches them.

“Ah!”

IRyS giggles hearing Kronii’s reactions. She keeps squeezing, pinching and pulling her nipples all the while kissing and licking her neck and nibbling on her ears.

Kronii’s breathing turns heavy trying to endure this. She doesn’t even realize she’s leaning on IRyS. She rubs her legs and her back slowly arches.

“Ha… ha…”

“There’s no need to hold back~.” IRyS kisses her cheek. “It’s just the two of us here.”

“Are you… done…?”

“Hmm…” IRyS still hears some anger in Kronii’s voice. “I guess I am for now.”

She lets Kronii go and moves back in front of her. The clock falls to the bed trying to recover.

“I do prefer looking at your pretty face~.”

“Shut… up…”

Kronii stares at IRyS’ smug face. She was already blushing but now she can feel even more blood rushing to her head. She tries to cover her breasts with her hands and turns away.

“Oh, Kronii.” Her smile turns softer. “Stop being so embarrassed.”

Kronii refuses to look at her.

“Here.”

IRyS unhooks her bra and takes it off.

“Now we’re even.”

Kronii takes a quick glance at her. Now she’s the one looking away with a blush on her face.

So even this side can get embarrassed.

“We’re not equal at all.” Kronii gets up and pinches one of IRyS’ perky nipples.

“Mmm… maybe…” IRyS gives her a quick kiss on the lips. “But you’re already enjoying this soooo much.”

IRyS’ hand slides down Kronii’s pants.

“So it’s fine!”

“H-hey!”

Kronii falls onto IRyS’ chest from the jolt. IRyS holds her while feeling around Kronii’s pussy with her fingers. Kronii’s legs almost crush IRyS’ hand as she tries to take it out. She looks at it and smiles.

“Mm-hmm.” She licks her fingers now covered in Kronii’s fluids. “You’re really enjoying this.”

Still on IRyS’ chest, Kronii can barely talk back.

“…So much for being a princess…”

“Hehehe… rulers need to de-stress too, Kronii!”

She slowly makes her lie down again.

“So much for being a sadist.”

Kronii looks away, covering her eyes.

“Leave me alone…”

“Awww, don’t say that!” IRyS holds her hand. “I’m not leaving you!”

“That’s not comforting at all, you know.”

“And that’s so rude!”

IRyS kisses her again and again. It’s gotten to the point where Kronii actually kisses back.

“Finally getting into it?”

“I don’t have much of a choice anymore.”

“Oh, c’mon Kronii.”

IRyS’ hand slides her hand down Kronii’s pants again.

“If you really don’t want to, just tell me to stop~.”

IRyS rubs Kronii’s labia as she licks her nipples. At times she slows down to a crawl when her fingers bump into her clit, taking her sweet time running her fingers on it.

“Just…” Kronii struggles to speak, does she really want this to end? “Mmm…” IRyS isn’t even looking at her, she’s focused on her job of pleasuring her. She closes her eyes, not sure if she can enjoy it or if she wants to stop it. “Ahh…”

“Kronii, if you don’t say anything I’ll keep going~.”

IRyS just barely, barely puts her finger inside Kronii’s pussy. She lightly bites her nipple only to do it seriously immediately after. She teases her as much as possible for her own enjoyment.

“Just…” Kronii makes up her mind. “Just get it over with.”

IRyS smiles.

“Got it~.”

She takes Kronii’s pants off, leaving only her white and blue panties. She takes them off as well

To ‘stay even’, IRyS removes her skirt, revealing her black and white panties with a pattern matching with her bra. Trying to retaliate a little, Kronii’s the one to take them off, as awkward as it is for her.

IRyS lies down next to Kronii as she continues to finger her. She stares at her face, enjoying every reaction she makes. She smiles whenever Kronii flinches from the pleasure and giggles when she tries to cover herself.

“Kroniiiii~, let me see you.”

“Could you stop… ahn… saying my name so much?”

“And here I thought you loved your name!”

The nephilim moves to face her with a smirk.

“What am I supposed to call you, then?”

She moves closer.

“Honey?”

Kronii looks away.

“Sweetie?”

IRyS leans right in front of her ear to whisper.

“Darling~?”

Kronii can’t take it anymore and moves away.

“Forget I said anything!”

IRyS just laughs and moves on top of her. She gives her another kiss on the lips.

Wanting to see more of her, IRyS licks, bites and scratches different parts of Kronii’s body, sometimes leaving marks from how hard she bites her or from how much she digs her nails into her. She twirls her tongue around her nipples as she sucks on them.

Kronii suddenly embraces her. All the stimulation is too much, she can’t hold it in.

“AHHH!”

Her body spasms as she cums. She holds IRyS tight even digging her nails into her. She doesn’t let go until she calms down.

“You finally got in the mood, Kronii~.”

IRyS pulls her to her chest and strokes her hair.

“I… ha… hah… don’t know what you’re talking about…”

“I’m glad my VIRyS actually worked~.”

Kronii’s eyes widen, she looks up at IRyS.

“Your… what?”

An evil smile appears on the nephilim’s face.

“Didn’t you notice anything, Kronii?”

That’s why I started to feel different?

“Like your body getting hotter and hotter?”

She moves and licks Kronii’s ear.

“Slowly wanting to do more? Letting me have my way with you~?”

Kronii’s pushes her away.

“Are you serious, IRyS?!”

“Pffft…” IRyS covers her face. “Hahahaha!”

“What’s so funny?!”

“You’re so gullible it’s cute!”

“YOUUUUUU!” Kronii brings her down. “Why would you say that?!”

“To help you calm down~.” IRyS tells her with a smile. “You’ve been so tense this entire time, I got worried.”

“Did you forget that funny little event where you’ dragged me here without my consent?!”

“And you’re the one who still refuses to stop this while having the easiest way to do it.”

IRyS grabs Kronii’s hand and squeezes it.

“T-that’s…”

“Kronii…”

They face each other.

“I told you this could be our secret.”

IRyS kisses her on the lips. She presses her against her body, letting Kronii lie on top of her. She gently caresses her back.

“Mm…”

“You can be more honest.”

“But I told you to…”

“’Get it over with’, yeah.” She pinches her cheek. “But that just makes it sound like a chore.”

Kronii stares at her.

You’re just enjoying my embarrassment.

With her face completely flushed, she gives IRyS a quick peck on the cheek.

“…Let’s keep going.” Her eyes refuse to meet with hers. “…Please.”

IRyS freezes for a few seconds, then quickly turns Kronii around.

“Wh— IRyS!"

She goes down on her, kissing her all the way.

“I’m turned on now.”

“You weren’t earlier?!”

IRyS pinches her nipple to make her moan.

“Again I mean.”

Kronii tries to stop her by closing her legs. The nephilim kisses caresses them slowly whittling down her resistance. Eventually, Kronii’s breathing turns heavier and IRyS reaches her objective.

She licks her drenched pussy, almost lapping up Kronii’s juices. She kisses her clit, dragging her lips and taking her time with it, making sure Kronii can feel as much as possible.

“Ah! Mmmm~.”

While kissing her, she inserts her fingers into her pussy. She starts off slow, just moving in and out, softly caressing her.

“Ha… ha… IRy— MM?!"

She’s silenced by something covering her face. IRyS changed positions, placing her ass right on top of Kronii. She doesn’t say anything and keeps licking the clock. Kronii takes this as an invitation and tries to make IRyS feel good. She awkwardly licks her, moving her tongue up and down. Gaining a little more confidence, she spreads her pussy and inserts her finger.

“Ah!”

IRyS didn’t actually expect her to do anything, so even these nervous attempts at pleasuring her make her shiver.

“Mm… yeah…”

IRyS picks up the pace whenever Kronii’s hips move, asking her to go faster. She switches to licking her pussy and rubbing her clit or fondling her breasts then back to the former from time to time, so Kronii doesn’t get used to it.

How did she find out my weak spots… so fast?

Kronii tries to imitate what IRyS does, a lot slower and less direct but it still makes IRyS moan, though she stops at times because of the pleasure she’s receiving from the nephilim.

“Ahh… Ha… Mmmm…”

“IRyS… Mmm…”

When Kronii finds one of IRyS’ weak spots, she focuses on it unlike the nephilim. This makes IRyS press her face harder against Kronii’s pussy. They squeeze each other with their legs when they cum.

“Ahhh… fudge…”

IRyS flops to Kronii’s side, both of them catching their breath.

“Was… was that enough?”

Kronii rubs her legs together, still feeling the afterglow.

“Hehehehe…” IRyS gets up. “Hahahahaha…”

“You really are scary sometimes…”

“I don’t know what you mean, Kronii~.” She grabs an electric massager next to the bed. “I just haven’t had enough~.”

IRyS moves herself closer while giggling a little more. The giggles turn into moans when she lifts Kronii’s leg and presses her pussy against hers.

“AH! …Is your demon side a succubus or… mmm… or what…?”

The nephilim turns the massager on. She rubs it against Kronii’s body as she moves her hips.

“That doesn’t matter, Kronii~.”

She slides the massager down Kronii’s stomach, reaching the place where their pussies meet.

“What matters is that you’re enjoying this.”

She keeps moving, playing with the intensity of the massager.

“Ah! IRyS!”

“Mmmhmhmhmm…”

IRyS’ evil grin returns as she stares at Kronii. The clock covers her face from the embarrassment, but she still moves her hips alongside IRyS. They rub each other keeping a steady pace and IRyS places the massager in different parts of Kronii’s body. She slides it all over, making Kronii squirm around.

“I-IRyS, I— Mmmm!"

“Ha… ha… Kronii~!”

IRyS presses the massager hard against their pussies while they cum. Their backs arch and their bodies tense up.

“AHHH!”

They gasp for air after using up the last of their stamina. Kronii lies on the bed, about to pass out. IRyS manages to turn off the massager and joins her.
All they hear before dozing off is the sound of their breathing.

---

They can barely get a few hours of sleep before the sun comes up. IRyS is the first one to open her eyes.

“Mmm…”

She rubs them while she gets up. She realizes she can’t because someone’s clinging to her arm. She looks around. Slowly, her eyes widen.

“W-what just…?”

She turns to Kronii. The clock is snuggled up beside her. She realizes they’re both naked. Eventually, the memories of what happened last night flood her mind.

“Oh my god.”

“Hrm…”

When Kronii manages to wake up, she finds IRyS bowing to her.

“I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.”

“…I think I’m feeling déjà vu…”

She scoots over to pat the nephilim’s head.

“It’s okay. It… really surprised me but… it’s fine.”

IRyS looks up at her, teary-eyed.

“A-are you sure? You could turn back time…”

“No I…” Kronii looks away. “I kinda don’t want to do that…”

She glances at IRyS, she’s beet red.

“I… o-okay…”

They can’t keep that conversation going, they stop talking entirely for a little while. IRyS grabs a pillow and hugs it.

“So, uhhh…” Kronii speaks up, “That was… surprising.”

IRyS tightens her hug.

“I have to wonder… how much experience do you have.”

The nephilim grabs a blanket and covers herself with it. Kronii notices she’s still blushing.

“W-wait…” Kronii moves closer to her. “Was that your…”

IRyS avoids her gaze but still slowly nods.

“Oh my…” Kronii’s stunned for a second. “So you really are a succu—”

SLAM!

Kronii receives a pillow to her face for her troubles.

“SHUT UP!”

She almost falls from the impact.

“It’s your fault for being so rude!”

Kronii’s tempted to return the pillow but stops herself.

“How was that any different from the usual?!”

“I DON’T KNOW!”

After bickering for a few minutes, they take a quick shower so they can leave.

“Ow!”

Kronii starts feeling the pain from everything that happened last night. IRyS notices and gets up.

“Wait, let me help.”

She grabs the first aid kit and makes Kronii take off the bathrobe.

“I’m sorry…”

IRyS keeps apologizing while patching Kronii up.

“I already told you it’s fine.”

“Can’t you turn back time on these wounds?”

“Why would I do that?” Kronii flicks her forehead. “That would be letting you off too easily.”

“Alright…”

She finishes treating Kronii, so they start putting their clothes back on. Kronii stares at IRyS who has her back turned to her. She notices the scratches she left on her when IRyS moves her hair to the side to put on her bra. Kronii feels a small tinge of guilt.

“IRyS, come here.”

“Hm?”

She turns around but Kronii stops her.

“Show me your back.”

“Uh… sure?”

IRyS does as she’s told then realizes what’s going on. She feels Kronii’s fingers touching her.

“Don’t turn back time on them, Kronii.”

“What, why?”

She turns to smile at her.

“If you won’t then I won’t either.”

“…Fiiine.”

Kronii does the same treatment she got from the nephilim. After making sure the both of them are fine, they pick up their bags and head outside.

Before opening the door, IRyS puts her tiara back on.

“…Are you still going to wear that?”

“Of course I am!” She walks to Kronii and holds her arm. “I still have my knight with me~.”

Kronii shakes her head and they leave the room. When they get out of the elevator IRyS tries to hide behind Kronii.

“This is such a contrast from last night.”

IRyS pushes her to leave the keys of the room.

“Well just forget about last night!”

Kronii laughs.

“Kinda hard to do that after… you know…”

“STOP!”

As embarrassed as she is, IRyS refuses to let go of Kronii’s arm. They walk to the station. The city’s back to normal with some shopkeepers removing their decorations and putting up “after Valentine’s” sales. Kronii’s a bit tempted to buy some extra chocolates, but IRyS pulls her away.

When they reach the station, IRyS seems a bit reluctant to go.

“Mm…”

Kronii rolls her eyes.

“You’re such a princess…” Realizing what she just said, she facepalms. “…Let’s grab a bite first.”

IRyS lightens up as they walk away.

They pass by the café from yesterday. The same waitress is happily attending some customers. Kronii starts to smirk.

“Hey, IRyS.” She nudges her. “Wanna tell your friend how it went?”

IRyS blushes as she notices the waitress. She walks back and grabs Kronii’s hand.

“No no no no no no no no…” She pulls Kronii along trying to walk in the opposite direction. “Nonononononono…”

“Nononononononono…” —Kronii laughs and snaps her fingers, stopping time— “nononononononono…”

IRyS hastily dodges all the frozen people, not noticing they’re not moving.

“Nononononono…” They reach a spot where IRyS thinks they’re safe. “…NO!”

“Wow, IRyS,” Kronii snaps her fingers again, letting time go back to normal, “you really are a singer! You held that for so long!”

“OH SHUT UP!”

“Okay, okay…” She wipes off a tear from laughing so much. “I think I saw another café nearby.”

“Let’s go there instead!”

Kronii leads the way, and they eat their fill. IRyS avoids trying to get too friendly with the waitress there, thinking she’d be as interested as the one in the other café. Kronii does her best to contain her laughter.

They manage to reach the station. There’s the usual amount of people waiting for the train, Kronii stops being too worried that she’ll leave IRyS alone. They chat for a little more, but she notices the nephilim starting to fidget.

Kronii pats her head. “Don’t forget to message me when you get home.”

“You too.” IRyS stabs Kronii with her horns one more time.

It’s a bit awkward now, huh.

Kronii looks at her, she’s just staring at the ground moving her feet around.

“…Did you have a good time?”

IRyS stops and looks back. “Of course I did.” She gives her a soft smile. “It’s always fun to go out with you.”

Kronii didn’t expect a direct response, but she manages to smile. “I’m glad.”

The train arrives and opens its doors. The people who were waiting get in after saying their goodbyes. IRyS is still fidgeting.

“IRyS?”

“Yeah?”

She gently pushes her a bit. “I’m glad we went out.”

IRyS starts walking towards the door but stops again. She takes a deep breath.

Kronii almost tries to walk up to her. “…Are you okay?”

Suddenly, she pulls something from her back and runs back to Kronii. She pushes it onto her.

“What’s thi—”

Kronii feels something on her lips, by the time she realizes what happened, IRyS already stepped back.

“Thank you for yesterday… and today.”

The nephilim quickly turns around and gets inside the train right as the doors close, she doesn’t look back as it leaves the station.

Kronii’s completely stunned even after the train’s gone. She leaves the station with her mouth open and still holding onto whatever IRyS gave her.

“I can’t believe you’re embarrassed even after what happened last night.” She sighs, staring at her gifts. “…Guess that was her angel side.”

When she finally recovers, she checks out what she received.

A big box and a much smaller box, pretty similar to the gifts she got for the nephilim. The big box is full of chocolates with hazelnuts.

She laughs to herself. “I would’ve finished these instantly if I got them yesterday.”

Kronii puts it in her bag and turns her attention to the smaller box. Like IRyS, she shakes it to try to check what it is. It doesn’t make a sound.

“…Did she ask about a jack-in-the-box because of this…?”

She looks around to make sure no one’s staring at her. She carefully opens the box.

“…Huh.”

She grabs the gift. It’s a golden bracelet, just like the one IRyS was wearing. This one, however, has a blue heart in the middle.

“So this is what she meant.”

Kronii recalls how IRyS fumbled her words while trying to explain herself.

She laughs. “And you were making fun of me about my setup to give you your gift.” She puts small the box in her bag and wears the bracelet.

Kronii smiles at it. “I guess it looks good.” She brings her wrist closer to get a better look. “Wait…” Her eyes widen. “Is this a sapphire?”

She pulls out her phone to message the dork.

You bought a sapphire?!

Did you want a diamond??? D:

NO!!! Why did you get this?

A princess has to treat her subjects well :D

Kronii facepalms. She receives another message.

Wait wait wait did you put it on? Take a picture! I wanna see!

Kronii sighs.

“You’re just impossible to deal with.”

She holds her arm up, her bracelet shines against the sun.

“Man, why am I doing this?”

She snaps the picture and sends it to IRyS.

Here.

IRyS replies back with a picture of her wrist wearing her pink bracelet in response.

Now we match!

Kronii laughs to herself.

I know, I saw you wearing it. Did you already forget the time we spent together?

What?! Of course I didn’t!

Oh my god IRyS you’re unbelievable

WHATEVER. I BETTER SEE YOU WEARING IT

FINE, THANK YOU

She’s about to write more, but she second guesses herself.

“Do I also talk about…” She shakes her head. “Let’s just leave that for later.”

Take care, okay? Message me when you get home

And I already told you to do the same : P

ByeRyS, IRyS. Hope you had a good Valentine’sRyS

That makes NO SENSE. KRONARA.

“That’s still not it, you dork.”

Kronii keeps walking back home. People that pass by her stare at her, wondering what could have happened that would make this girl so happy. She eventually notices herself grinning from ear to ear and starts blushing.

She stares at her new bracelet. The sapphire shines a bright blue against the sunlight.

She could’ve picked any other gem but… Kronii thinks about her eyes, and how she keeps calling them sapphires. That’s probably why.

While thinking about everything that happened last night, she slowly stops moving. The memories from the hotel and the station haven’t gone away. Everything happened so fast she didn’t have time to process it. She touches her lips, recalling the blush on IRyS’ face when she kissed her one last time.
She curves her lips into a smile.

“…How sweet.”
