Trigger Warning: Uhhhh the word hell? Is that a trigger warning?

*☆*――*☆*――*☆*――*☆*――*☆*――*☆*――*☆*――*☆*

Hearing a sound behind me, I shift quickly. Pulling out my axe. Only to hide it, realizing it was Xaria. Jesus! I almost did something stupid. Fucking A.B.Y.S.S.

"Hey Crafty, I have something to ask you..."

"Oh! Sure! Umm... What's up? " he asks, running his hand through his hair nervously

"Would you..." e pauses.

"Would I what?"

"Would you like to go on a date with me?" They blurt, face entirely red. His heart skipped a beat. Of course! He wanted to shout, but said nothing, did nothing but looked at the ground. Wanting to except, wanting this to be true. That Xaria, this beautiful creature whose hair lied gently on hir shoulders, whose smile made him warm inside, to actually like him. To want to be with him. But something in his gut silenced him. That this was like another who had come before.

This can't be true. It can't be. They're only doing this because of him. For their own gain. Everyone always uses me for their own gain. Looking back up, he notices something different in Xaria. Worry. E was always so confident. Did sie fear his rejection? Fear, that he did not feel the same? That he did not love eyr?

"S-sure." He finally replied. Damn it... You always do the same stupid thing... You trust someone and they stab you in the back like always. Though he thought this. He did mean what he said. He wanted to go. Smiling weakly, he finally makes eye contact with hir. But the gut feeling still remained.

"Really?" They replied, looking overjoyed. And he nods in reply. "Well, then." Sie starts, pulling something out. Then grasps his hand. Suddenly they shoot up in the air. Gasping at how they even reached such height amazed Crafty, but what impressed him the most was how they were not falling. But gliding forward. How is this possible? A wild smile covered his face. Looking up at Xaria, e was grabbing my wrist with one hand and holding fireworks in the other. Which was only possible due to him being incredibly light.

As they flew through the sky, Crafty let out a cry of joy. This is amazing. How? How is this even possible

"How are you doing this?" He cried out with joy over the wind. To which Xaria smiled. Passing the basic frame of Crafty's house. They dropped down into a small clearing in the woods. Lanterns were hanging everywhere, they landed gently on soft red carpet. "This is, this is amazing!" The flying, the setting, it all was so fantastical. Crafty didn't even know that humanoid creatures could fly.

Turning back to Xaria, a huge grin spread across his face. Third face went red, as sie smiles. "Well, we're here. I hope you're hungry. " E states as sie holds out a pumpkin pie. One for me and one for hir.

"Oh, thank you!" He replies, taking the pie. The two eat in an awkward silence. Not speaking. Finishing the last piece of pie, Crafty looks up at Xaria. They were nervous. But that's all he could tell. "The pie tastes great."

"Oh, that's good." E replies looking up, with a small shy smile. " Um... I also got you the dark oak you wanted! As well as a few other gifts... They're in the chest." Pointing to the box at the side of the carpet. Opening it, Crafty found a few stacks of dark oak, more baked goodies, and a bunch of flowers. Pulling them out, he puts them in his inventory.

"Thank you." Giving Xaria a big hug. Both of their faces turning red. "Sorry..." He adds once they finished their hug.

"Again with the sorry." Sie giggled. He wanted to kiss her, right then and there in that moment though his gut stopped him... E's just using me. I-I want to but... what if. His thoughts spiralling. Stopping him from doing it. And they were sitting in an awkward silence again. After a while Xaria's expression turned to annoyance.

Suddenly sie reaches forward, and pull him into an embrace. Her lips locking to his. He didn't want it to stop. He felt light and happy. As they kiss.

      Eyyyyyy, another chapter.... We pretend that I published it on time. Totally. Did not take me a month. Never....... Anyways, THEY FINALLY FREAKING KISSED OH MY GOD THAT TOOK WAAYYY TOO LONG. And unfortunately, we're actually getting pretty close to the end of the book! I planned for it to be about 10 chapters long and as we're trying to follow actual canon plot, this would technically be where the book ends.... As my account freaked out and Froggie never actually logged back onto the server before it ended...... BUT, this is fiction and we're going to make it up as we go! But the canon ending stays because yes. Anyways, eat some water, drink some food and as always:

      Ladies, gentlemen, theydies and gentletheys, have a FAEtastic day! -Faerie
