Chapter Text
Lumine was staying in lyney's apartment for a few days after she returned from natlan. She came back looking tanned, had a few burn marks here and there and a few more scars that looked major, and a big bandage wrapped around her whole forehead that she made sure to keep hidden. She came with a huge smile on her face as always but once she looked at lyney, she realized that her appearance made him cry upon seeing her. Safe to say, she never expected that reaction..she was holding up by a thread, especially after the latest encounter with aether, so she cried with him and they ended up hugging and wiping each other's tears after it.
Now, they were both under the sheets with a candle between them while lyney showed her doodles of the new magic trick he had in his mind. He was surprised to learn that lumine was actually pretty good at drawing, so they both started working on it. Lumine drawing everything lyney said and he in return got a clearer version of his previous art work.
After they were done with it, rosseland decided to join them under the sheets. That little menace seemed to like lumine's company more than his own childhood friend! How hurtful! Lyney started putting on a dramatic act to show his sadness to an audience of an unimpressed cat and his lover. After he got those clearly unimpressed gazes, lumine's gaze softened and she smiled warmly at him
"You are such a drama queen, you know? I love that in you, lyney. Never change that in yourself."
"ah, you flatter me, ma chèrie..it was a silly thing, really..but..if it means I will get this look from you again, then I will do it more often just to see this beautiful smile of yours."
She chuckled softly and then leaned in and kissed him gently
"I love you, lyney"
"I love you too, lumine.."
as they were savoring this intimate moment with one another, they were met with the displeased meows of their little companion, if rosseland was a human, they would've seen the clearly disgusted look on his face. Lyney and lumine both laughed before cuddling with rosseland, receiving soft purrs from him.
As the night went on, rosseland and lumine fell asleep. Rosseland was getting so comfortable curled up on lumine chest that it made lyney a bit envious..but then he stroked his beloved cat's fur. Rosseland was getting more chunky, that was fine by lyney but now he was a bit concerned. After he stopped stroking this mischievous cat's fur, his whole attention was turned to lumine, the absolute sleeping beauty in front of him. He ran his fingers through her hair gently and caressed her cheek before leaning in and giving her a kiss on the forehead. He noticed his eyelids growing heavy, but he didn't mind it as long as he is sleeping under the sheets with his dearest cat and the love of his life.
The trio ended up sleeping together, under the sheets. The candle has melted a long time ago and the candle wax gone cold.
