Re: Mission 5: Amaya's Gate
Nao's head arched back in shock when the breastplate of the Daisy opened up, revealing Junko's bare shoulders, smooth flawless skin, and outstretched hand. She winced a little as the other reached out, and smoothed away her own tears. "J-Junko..." Nao's voice softly surprised. She decided. Nao reached up, grasped the other Sprite's hand gently, and moved it downwards and to her lips.
She could taste the salty tears, Nao's lips slowly nipping Junko's fingertips. Despite this, her own eyes stayed firmly on Junko's.
The dark-haired sprite's eyes widened. She parted her lips slightly - not in a smile, or a grimace, but enough that her teeth showed, and considered the picture before her for several long moments before she relaxed her hand, and her expression.
"Nao," she said, quietly, "Ah, etto-..."
Junko trailed off, and fell silent. Gently, she ran her thumb along Nao's lower lip, her expression falling into disappointment, almost sorrow.
Her frown made Nao smile slightly. "I know. I know. And it's all the more reason for us to come back." She still held Junko's hand, and moved it to cup her cheek as she tilted her head to the side. "I want to remember this. I don't ever want to forget this and will do everything I can from here to make that happen. And I'm sure you will too."
This close, Nao could feel the warmth of Junko's breath, and the softness of her hand. The sprite leaned in closer, as though for another embrace.
And Junko kissed her.
