Fern and Frieren had already started to doze off, leaving the frozen unconscious Stark alone with Kraft. The latter was tasked to help him gain his composure again. He carried him up gently and put him near him, he then wrapped his arms around him, holding him closer. His muscled body gently pressed against Stark.
Kraft felt like he was in a higher position, as if he was shielding Stark. "He's quite adorable..." He thought to himself. A few moments later, Stark started to regain consciousness. Whereas the girls were half asleep, as if they were on autopilot.
"W... What is this warm breeze...? I'm sure I was in a blizzard mere minutes ago..." Stark thought before gently waking up. He was shocked when he saw Kraft, loudly letting a small scream of fear. "Agh.. quiet there, bud... Your friends are sleeping.. I warmed you up" Kraft said a bit disturbed by the yelp. "Warmed me up... Huh? You do have a nice body don't ya?"Stark said in an odd tone. "Oh? Am I someone's first boy crush?" Kraft said a bit teasingly yet oblivious, slightly tilting his head and pointing at himself. Stark quickly blushed and got embarrassed "N-no! I don't mean it like that!! But you do look nice..." Kraft smiled gently and got closer to Stark, cupping his cheek and stroking it gently. It startled Stark but he didn't want to admit he liked it
"Awww... You do look quite adorable.. But let's not get ahead of ourselves." Kraft chuckled out. Stark snapped back to reality, "What's your name, young warrior?" Kraft asked "Oh, I'm Stark, and those are Frieren and Fern, they're mages. We're in the same team." Stark answered politely yet nervously
. "Ah, interesting... I haven't seen an elf in quite a long time too.." he said smiling quite handsomely... Which only made Stark's heart beat quicker and get redder "I must say... It... Oddly felt nice being held by someone so strong like you..." He randomly admitted, not even feeling it roll off his tongue. Quickly covering his mouth after saying it looking embarrassing as hell! "Well... Why not go for another turn? I don't mind"
he said, almost wooing Stark away.
"I can't say I wouldn't want to..." Stark says somewhat ashamed in himself "Ah, don't be ashamed of yourself... It'll be fine" Kraft reassured him gently stroking his cheek again
, with that said, he pulled Stark closer. Making him embrace tighter and lovingly
, probably the best Stark felt during these past times... "It's too early to say but I feel weird when I'm like this... But not in a bad way..."
"Heh, I get that, little guy!" Kraft replied playfully to Stark
Time would pass as they opened up slowly but surely. Until Stark had this urge in his body he couldn't control, an intrusive thought... He got closer mid-conversation and rested his arms on Kraft's broad shoulders
, slowly adjusting to him. Their faces were some inches apart "Oh? Anything bothering you?" Kraft said softly, "N-no, actually, quite the opposite" Stark reassured
. "You know what?" Kraft said, piquing Stark's curiosity "W-what?"
then, suddenly, Kraft pulled him into a soft embrace. Their lips softly met, sending tingles to Stark's body... The latter was surprised at first but fell into the warmth of it "Maybe this isn't so bad... We'll enjoy each other's company.."
