1x1 Jewels of Aether - Starting a new (ShirexTala)

If Kiseki could jump with excitement, she would, but the teaes of sadness and happiness came first. She was so happy to see Kirito again. She was so lonely for the past year and shd was glad fhat he found himself again. "You came back," she struggled to speak, covering her mouth with her hands.

 

Kiseki ran towards Kirito and gave him a tight hug. She had been waiting for so long, and now that he's finally here... She couldn't contain her tears. "I'm sorry, I just can't believe you're finally back..."

 

Kiseki wiped her tears with her outfit. "Not much, really... I've been trying to take care of the Pokémon." The girl had many questions in her head due to the fact that she was beginning to forget most of the things she had done. She didn't know exactly how she got to Fractalia, but she knew that she came here because she loved Kirito, and that was enough reason to stay.

She held Kirito's face before kissing him. When it was over, she spoke. "I just thought I needed to tell you that I love you... in case I wouldn't be able to tell you in the future."

 

Kiseki shook her head. "It's nothing," she softly spoke. "We shouldn't be sad. Today is your brithday, right?" She then smiled.

 

Kiseki turned to Kirito and smiled. "I thought... after you threw your ring, I thought you didn't want to marry me anymore." She sighed, happy that he didn't change his mind. "But yes, I still want to marry you."

 

"I never changed my mind," Kiseki spoke, her words calm and soft, "because I knew you'd return. And I'm so glad you did."

She smiled when she saw the ring. "That ring is so pretty!"

 

Kiseki looked up when she heard that Kirito made it. "Really? Wow, this is amazing!" She blushed. It had been a year, so it was natural for Kirito to do some new things. "Should I be wearing it now?" She asked, laughing.

 

Kiseki smiled. Even Kirito had been doing something for the past year. She took the ring and placed it on her finger, not keeping her eyes away from it for it looked so beautiful. "It does seem like you've been busy. I'm glad you're... oh, nevermind. Just... thank you."

She was about to say something about him enjoying something other than magic, but that would seem too insensitive.

 

Kiseki smiled, "Thank you." She then looked around after hearing the question, but after realizing that Kuran wasn't home, she gasped. "Oh, right, I believe he went to work?"

 

Kiseki looked at Kirito's eyes before shaking her head. "He didn't say anything."

She then sighed, trying to remember that day. "He didn't tell me much when you left... But I know that he really cared about you. I know your relationship isn't in its best state right now... But I think it's time for the both of you to fix things."
