Christmas Cute [Kirika/Hei]

[carrythesin]

There was a winter chill in the air. The snow settled down tonight allowing the stars to shine the sky. Even though the chill remained, it didn't stop this one. From what she could remember, Christmas wasn't one she recalled, least not yet. Tonight, no jobs would shackle her. It was finally her night with someone who was always deared to her, someone who has watched her back as she watched his. That person was Hei. Thankfully tonight, he accepted the invitation to Paris, a home Kirika was custom to. Thankfully, her world had the real stars.

After the coco drinks were set, Kirika walked both mugs upstairs from the apartment room. On one arm a fleece blanket hung over. With a push from the door with one arm, Kirika walked outside with no mind to the chill. With conversations about the stars, Kirika's curiosity grew. When she saw him there, his back against her, she couldn't help but smile. Hei was a brother to her, family, if that what family meant. She exhaled watching her own frosty breath before she walked towards him. With Hei, she didn't really had to say much or warn him. Kirika extended one mug towards him on one side.

"Here."

He hadn't been to Paris much, if at all. Things seemed the same in this world though, just with the lack of Contractors. Assassins were still around, but he would do his best to protect his little sister. Nothing would make him lose another person as family. He may have lost Lucy, but he still had family, even if not bound by blood. And hey, Paris was a nice place to stay at.

Spotting the mug, he smiled at Kirika. "Thank you."

[carrythesin]

Kirika continued to smile as she wrapped herself with the blanket before she joined him. She looked up to him quiet with a hint of concern.

"...Are you cold?"

[legitlessgrump]

He nods; came with the territory of coming out here for the view. "A bit. I take it you are too?"

[carrythesin]

She shook her head. Yes, it was cold, but she didn't let it bother her. Kirika extended her blanket out to share. She always shared a bed with her partner, why would this be any different.

[legitlessgrump]

He took the offer, letting the blanket cover him as well. One arm wrapped around Kirika too, keeping her close as they watched the city in front of them.

"It's quite beautiful here."

[carrythesin]

She nodded to him while she leaned against him takig a sip of that hot coco.

"The stars, they are bright."

[legitlessgrump]

He took a sip from his own cup, smiling at the stars above. Had been a while since he saw the sky like this.

"And beautiful. Been so long since I saw real ones like this."

[carrythesin]

"Real ones?"

[legitlessgrump]

"The stars in my world were mostly fake thanks to the Gates and Contractors. They were still beautiful, but watching a star fall usually meant the death of another."

[carrythesin]

"So you have your own star." She said as a fact and smiled up in the sky.

[legitlessgrump]

"Well not in this world. Wondering how that would work though now that I am here though."

Would it vanish? Would it drop? Who knew...
