( 𝓮milia resisted the childish
urge to stomp her foot against
the ground in protest, her pout
giving way to the smallest of
smiles. )
jeez .. honestly, subaru .ᐟ oh,
but that reminds me - do you
have anything planned for
today .ᐣ
⠀
⠀
⠀
( A nervous laughter escaped him. She was so adorable, he couldn't resist .ᐟ )
Who says " blockhead " in this day and age .ᐣ But, alright, alright, that's enough of my teasing. Still, that's a really nice pout, Emilia — tan. ~ ☆
⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀“ 𝓷o, i was in the wrong .. so, please accept my humble apology, ” insisted emilia, as she took one of his hands into her own, threading their fingers together as to silently anchor herself. “ you looked awfully offended .. ”
⠀
⠀
( . . . ⁉️ )
“ O-Oh, Emilia!
Don’t say that! It’s not your fault at all! You’re perfect just the way you are!
”
At the slightest hint of doubt, Subaru panicked, trying to keep that faint sense of guilt from spreading any further.
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀“ 𝓸h, please forgive me .. i should know better than to draw such hasty conclusions without proper consideration .. ” giving his attire a second look, she could tell that he was being genuine. “ no one is at fault except me. ”
⠀
⠀
his head tilted in slight confusion. . .
“ Tasteless. . .?
I made it myself! I based it on your magic robe! It even has little pointed ears.
I like it because it's like yours!
( • • • )
Did someone say otherwise?
𝐖𝐇𝐎 was it? . .
I want to know. . ”
⠀
⠀
𝓪aahhh, stop being a blockhead,
subaru .ᐟ i might actually get truly
angry with you if you keep this up.
i-i’m not cute, either - ( unwilling
to accept his compliments, her
pout only grew more pronounced. )

( Subaru chuckled, rubbing the back of his head. He made sure not to miss out on her mini rant and expressions .ᐟ )
A flustered Emilia — tan. . . so cute .ᐟ You're in luck, today truly is a little warm, but that shade of pink your face has taken is unmistakable .ᐟ
⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀“ 𝓯irst of all, ” she turned to face him, worry still etched in her brow. “ why is it that you’re wearing those robes .ᐣ it’s .. tasteless .. even as a costume. you know that. ”
⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀
𝓶y heart is n-not fluttering .ᐟ
it’s just .. it’s just 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 warm
out today, and you came up
so close, and - and you're
saying such embarrassing
things again .ᐟ ( she pouted,
puffing out her cheeks. )
⠀
⠀
⠀
E — Emilia — tan. . . ( 💘 )
( Her name could barely be uttered. Seeing her in this state tugged at his heartstrings that he could faint at any second .ᐟ )
Does that mean——my flirting is very effective now that it gets your heart fluttering .ᐣ.ᐟ Yo ~ shaaa .ᐟ ☆

⠀
⠀
releasing her gentle hold on him no more than a heartbeat later, emilia settled down and pat the spot adjacent to her, inviting him to sit. “ .. because i have a few things i’d like to talk to you about. i hope that’s okay. ”
⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀ 𝓵etting go of his face, she reached down and took his wrist by the hand, already leading him to a large bed of flowers that had long since blossomed in a nearby field. “ if you don’t have anything to say, that’s fine. ” ⤸
⠀
⠀
This wasn't a conversation; words wouldn't even come, as if merely uttering them were a sin against everything known.
“. . .”
He is fine—
he always was fine; it is simply a matter of how he feels and how he expresses himself.
A ‘ 𝙋𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 ’ existence.
