do not start.

[𝑩𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒚。 @Saiyadite]

Aren't you. . .Panda's "friend"?

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

Eheh~. I guess so… I do, too.

But hey— y’ask me, we’re already kinda living that future, aren’t we?

I—I mean, like… the majority of it and all.

[𝙽𝚞𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚞 @NUDORUSAIYAJIN]

I know, I know. But I can't help but daydream about it y'know?

There's a lot to look forward to and I enjoy thinking about it!

( His cheeks lit up slightly after her lips touched his own. )

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

Mm. I like taking things a day at a time. You know this by now, dude.

( a smile… and she returns with a light kiss to his lips. )

We can figure all that /fancy stuff/ out later on, don’t ya think?

[𝙽𝚞𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚞 @NUDORUSAIYAJIN]

Well, good. I like the idea too.

I mean I won't make you go into detail don't worry, just the fact that you want to spend the future with me. . . That's enough for me.

( He leant in and planted a small kiss on her rosy cheek. )

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

— So I’m far from rusty~.”

She proudly proclaimed, despite having done little, save for freeing Brandy before the true battle commenced.

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

She raised a brow for a faint moment before it settled back, her lips drawn in an exasperated sigh.

“… Ugh— I’ll kick their asses sometime…” she freely muttered, rolling her eyes. It was the only way to keep a lid on her own emotions.

“Y’know— it’s not hard to hear the —

[𝙽𝚞𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚞 @NUDORUSAIYAJIN]

-- ' Speaking of, we need to have a date night soon, it's been way too long.

And don't forget about our match, okay? '

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

— right, especially with all the trainin’ in magic I’ve been up to~. I’m just a flame you won’t ever put out..!”

She suddenly raised her head, grinning like a madwoman.

“I’ve already helped with a siege of my own! Helped reclaim a kingdom with a friend and everything. —

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

—

I—I don’t know how I can word it. I /like/ the idea.

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

( agh. Why’d he have to pull this so suddenly? )

( cheeks flushed, she exhaled faintly, smile reappearing. )

… I like the idea of our future. Y’know. Homely. Training. Just spending time together— I mean, I guess I just… it’s like what we’ve got now? But more? —

[𝙽𝚞𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚞 @NUDORUSAIYAJIN]

Maybe I want you to steal the stage.

Maybe I want to know how you feel about our future together, yknow? Gotta talk about it sometime.

( He grinned, booping her nose as he leant closer. )

So? Tell me your thoughts.

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

— stuff shouldn’t have happened, s-so… don’t let them get in your head, Noodle. Stay you, er— yeah…”

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

However, Panda wasn’t quite satisfied yet. She could see in his eyes just how much it bothered him. As such, it bothered her as well.

Her brow lightly furrowed. “Who are they to decide you weren’t supposed to make it? That’s /stupid/ of them. /Anything/ can happen..! —

[𝙽𝚞𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚞 @NUDORUSAIYAJIN]

-- none of that matters now, because I got you. '

He gave a sweet smile as he gazed upon her. Man he was a lovestruck dork.

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

— pout. “… And something tells me that you don’t like that fact either, so, hey— let it out. Who’s going to hear you? Me?

… I’m not telling any of ‘em. I’ll lie in their time court if it comes to it. Straight eye stare lyin’.

… I mean— I’m pretty sure /lots/ of —

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

I—.

… /listen/. We’re talking about /you/ right now. I’m not stealing the stage here.

… but I won’t deny the fact that it would be nice, Y’know… ah— hehe…

… a-anyways!!!

[𝙽𝚞𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚞 @NUDORUSAIYAJIN]

Awe c'mon, couldn't let me tease you for just a little longer?

( Once again, a playful pout came to his face before he let out a small laugh. )

Can ya really tell me you don't want the same?

( An eyebrow raise accompanied by a teasing smirk. )

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

( oh. she’s gone into meltdown. She may just explode. . . But wait ! )

( she set her own hand atop his, snickering away to try and erase the feelings of a rushing heart. )

Pfft—! Look at ya, tryin’ to steal control back and… all that..! How goofy!

[𝙽𝚞𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚞 @NUDORUSAIYAJIN]

( The smile returned to his face as he reached a hand over and placed it against her cheek. )

You're so cute when you get shy.

( He leant towards her and gave her a quick kiss to the forehead. )

I mean every word I say.

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

—

Her face slowly softened as she reached out to take hold of his hand.

“… I’m glad you’re here. An’ that whatever that time patrol nonsense is, goin’ around claiming and all… that you’re alright. Well— you know what I mean, it’s…

… confusing to word.”

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

“Heh— deal, fine. If I win… mm. I’ll get back to you. I need time to think… it’ll probably just be a movie or something.”

She shrugged, leaning in to relax and listen. As he spoke, she found herself tensing at the overall absurdity of what he was saying.

—

[𝙽𝚞𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚞 @NUDORUSAIYAJIN]

-- even get back here, but I needed to see you. '

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

—

“… But you’re still you. Whatever happened, whatever they said, they can suck an egg, dude.”

She suddenly turned in order to better face him, her face tensing with care.

“… Still. That probably doesn’t just erase the thought. I… don’t get it. But I hear you.”

—

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

( and it was at that moment… that Panda.exe completely crashed. She could give it, but taking it?? That was another field altogether. )

I— ah, oh, a—

( a flirt that when cornered, would ultimately falter… )

.. ah— I. I love you too. I— didn’t expect to hear that, eheh…

[𝙽𝚞𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚞 @NUDORUSAIYAJIN]

-- speaking again. )

Fine.

I said I'm gonna marry you someday. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

— just standing /and/ flying.

“… Hmm. You wanna get into it? Sounds like a hell of a lot went on. I’m all ears, Noodle— and I mean… I think I can believe anythin’ you throw at me, heh. World’s crazy enough.”

[Pᴀɴᴅᴀ — ❮ 孫 パンダ❯ @TacticalLegacy]

“Hah— sounds like a challenge. Should we throw a win-loss condition onto the line as well, when we get to that?”

Her playful snark slowly dissipated out as her hand took hold of his, just long enough to get the two to sit down on the grass. It was more comfortable than —

[𝙽𝚞𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚞 @NUDORUSAIYAJIN]

-- His lips downturning into a frown slightly.

' I do get that, the job thing I mean. You wouldn't believe what I've gotten up to in the time since I last saw you. . . '
