"Race you to the ridge?" You turn to face Kronii who was all swaddled up in a large coat with a fluffy faux fur hood.
"I can't run in these!" She motions to her heeled boots, they weren't very practical for a night walk but they complimented her outfit splendedly.
"I'll carry you then-"
Kronii dodges you and sprints up the hill, laughing, you pursue.
"I win! Ha-ha!" Kronii taunts you as you just crest the brow of the hill.
It was a chilly but calm night, and from the ridge you both had the awe inspiring vista of the twinkling nights sky and the town below.
Kronii sits and drags you down with her, pulling you back ontop of her. You both rolled around on the grassy knoll, laughing in one anothers presence, eventually stopping to lay next to one another and gaze up at the galactic panorama.
Kronii was pointing out constellations and stars that Sana had taught her about, she seemed really into it and so you peacefully listened to your girl prattle away.
You both held one anothers hand, fingers interlocked. You noticed how Kronii would squeeze tighter when she looked at you, how her face would always mallow and default to a smile when with you.
Kronii had slowly stopped babbling and you both lay there in quiet contemplation.
"Anon?" Kroni turns herself over to face you, her body presses against you
"You- you meant what you said right? About helping me?"
Turning over yourself, you stroke her face with your other hand
"I promised, didn't I?"
Kronii shifts an arm and extends her pinky out
"Pinky promise me"
You oblige, her small digit enrapt around yours.
"Promise?"
"Promise"
Kronii smiled, content with her man's answer, shifting herself back to laying besides you, wrapped in your arms as you both look up at the sky.
A star shower had began in earnest the past few minutes; a cosmic seal on your promise, seemingly, the universe itself was rooting for you two.
