Someday
She grabs her horn.
“…Angel? Nephilim? More like a devil… That’s right…”
“Meanwhile you got that veil on your head, are you getting married?”
“…Excuse me?”
IRyS laughs.
“Why don’t you brush your hair, IRyS?” She grabs her hair and plays with it while she fiddles with the computer with her other hand.
“HMMM??? THIS IS AFTER I BRUSHED MY HAIR!”
“Yeah, WHATEVER—” She stops streaming. “You don’t even know how to brush it!”
“YEAH I DO EXCUSE YOU???” IRyS scoots towards her and ruffles her hair. “How dare you!”
Kronii can’t hold back her laughter, she leans on IRyS.
“Did you turn it off?”
“Did I what?” She looks up at her. “Oh, yeah, stream’s done.”
IRyS gets up, letting Kronii fall to the couch. She leaves to another room.
“Wh— Hey!" Kronii tries to reach out at her. “Wow, busy much?”
IRyS comes back with a brush in hand. She puts it on Kronii’s stomach, and she sits down on a chair close to the couch.
“…What?”
The nephilim pouts.
“Isn’t someone going to show me how to brush my hair?”
“Oh my god.”
Kronii smiles and gets up. She picks up the brush after it fell off her stomach and moves behind the chair. She holds the nephilim’s hair, spreading apart some knots that were made while she played with it.
“Mm-hmmm-hmm…”
IRyS hums and sways left and right, enjoying Kronii’s fingers running down her hair.
“Don’t move.”
“’Kaaay.”
Kronii starts brushing her hair, gently moving it down. She switches to her fingers whenever she encounters another knot, softly undoing it.
“You’re so lucky it’s so soft.”
“Hehe, what?” IRyS reaches behind her to poke Kronii’s side. “You weren’t going to brush it if it wasn’t soft?”
Kronii smirks.
“Maybeeee…”
IRyS pinches her stomach.
“You’re sooooo ruuuude!”
They both smile, knowing they can’t see each other’s face.
IRyS keeps humming, watching her fairies lamps create light in her room now that the movie is over.
“Hey, Kronii?”
The warden stops brushing for a second.
“Mm-hmm?”
“That movie sucked.”
“Pffft…” She looks away, surprised by the sudden remark. “Yeah… yeah, I know.”
“I have no idea why Calli recommended it.” She pulls out her phone like she’s about to message her. “Actually…” She lightly shakes her head and puts her phone on the table. “I do know why.”
Kronii giggles.
“I can imagine.”
“You owe me one!” IRyS tries to reach out to her face. “That would’ve been so much worse if your dearest IRyS didn’t watch it with you!”
Kronii keeps brushing her hair.
“Am I not repaying you right now?”
“Of course not!”
“Woooow!” She lightly bops her head with the brush. “That’s power abuse!”
“But you’re the boss!”
“Whatever, man.” Kronii ruffles her hair. “I’ll beat you up in badminton anyways.”
“Suuuuure!”
When she’s almost done brushing, Kronii sighs.
“Man...”
IRyS looks up again.
“What?”
“Why did you say that…?”
“I said a loooot of things, Kronii.” She grins at her. “You have to be more specific.”
“The…” She stops brushing her. “The veil…”
“Hehehe, what’s wrong?”
“Now I don’t even want to wear it…”
IRyS keeps giggling.
“There’s a simple solution to that, you know?”
Kronii leans on the chair and puts her head on top of IRyS’, carefully avoiding her horns.
“Rewinding time and shutting you up?”
IRyS leans forward almost making Kronii fall. She turns to look at her with a smug smile but a full blush.
“Wh—" Kronii backs away, her face quickly turning as red as IRyS’. “Th— I—"
Completely flustered, she looks away. Meanwhile, IRyS’ lips start to quiver from the embarrassment. She slowly tries to bring her hands up to cover her face.
Kronii quickly goes back to her.
“Not in a million years.”
She places the brush on her lap. She walks to the couch and sits down, showing IRyS her back.
The nephilim takes the hint and walks towards her. She sits behind her and starts brushing.
“So what you’re saying is I just have to wait a million years?” She runs her fingers down her hair. “Doesn’t seem that bad since we’re both infinite years old~.”
Kronii covers her face.
“Ohhh my gooood…”
“Hehehehehe…”
They stay silent for a little while. IRyS takes her time carefully brushing Kronii’s hair. The warden takes a deep breath.
“…Work on your proposals…”
IRyS stops brushing her. She blinks a few times. Her lips curl into a smile. She lunges at Kronii to hug her.
“Sure!” She brings her down with her. “I promise I’ll get better!”
Kronii tries to get up, but she quickly resigns to her fate. She strokes IRyS’ hair.
“Why is that the one thing you promise…”
“Cause it sounds like fun~.” IRyS rubs her face against hers. “Maybe you’ll say yes if I keep trying!”
Kronii sighs. A blush returns to her face.
“…Maybe someday…”
