Creaack...
"Aestrea, you're back!"
As soon as Aestrea opened the door of his dormitory, a figure instantly jumped into his arms, wrapping her arms around his waist tightly.
The force almost pushed him back a step, but he smiled instead.
"I'm back."
He gently slipped a hand under her chin, tilting her face upward. Christina barely had time to blink before his lips met hers.
Her eyes widened in surprise for half a second, then softened.
"Mhm~!"
She melted into him, arms sliding up around his neck as she kissed him back without hesitation.
When they finally parted a minute later, her cheeks were faintly pink, her breath warm against his.
"I have some news for you," he said quietly, brushing his thumb through her golden hair.
Her head tilted in curiosity, a familiar sparkle lighting her eyes. Before she could ask, Aestrea lifted his hand and twisted his wrist slightly.
Crack...!
The dormitory vanished in a soft distortion, and the next instant, the air changed.
