Cherry:
Yugure saw him leaning forward and immediately pecked him on the lips, then turned back to the gift in hand. It was rather peculiar to see the rigid soldier so... unguarded. Then he asked for the gift, and she got a bit nervous. Hearing him swear that he'd even like a giant rock didn't help calm her any. In fact, that made it worse. If her present sucked, he'd like it just to like it. He wouldn't be impressed or awestruck by the thought, simply "it's the thought that counts" wouldn't be enough.
Then Haruka started petting her again. Pupils nearly morphed into hearts before reminded she needs to get a hold of herself. Right, calm, relax, breathe. A sigh, happy to hear that he's happy, but her gift... It probably wasn't worth the money he spent on his. Even so, looking into his excited gaze forced the soldier to mentally wave a white flag of surrender. Not giving it to him would be even worse than it being inferior. Yugure requested someone fetch a watch from father's office, as the duo of the family shared it all day.
A maid arrived, handing it to the queen. Turning to Haruka, a... rather feminine wristwatch was presented. A red exterior with a heart shaped design, having navy blue, purple, and gold colored hands ticking about behind glass. Each color was supposed to represent the four clans they used, but she didn't say it out loud. A bit of an embarrassing touch, as the multiple colors seemed more tacky than convenient.
"I... made this", the woman confessed. Being a magical blacksmith brought interest in making art beyond weaponry. Unfortunately, that was difficult with powers. It took much assistance to get the device together as fast as they did. Though proud of her first handmade creation, the opinion of her sweetheart took greater precedent. Even so, she shyly cast a gaze off into the distance.
Jello:
Haruka looked at the watch, then took it into his hands. At first his reaction was, well, sort of blank. His heart was searching for the right response here, because he honestly had no idea how to explain to Yukino how much he loved the gift. But it was, in reality, far more difficult to express it normally. He blinked for only a moment before a small smile formed. That small smile became a somewhat bigger grin. Then a simper.
He had his arms wrapped around her saying, "Thank you, Yukino!!!! I love it!!," much faster than he anticipated. He didn't know how else to thank her than the formal thank you, but he was a bit too excited to see what she had got him. The sentiment behind it. It was far different than what he had expected. He honestly expected some giant sword or yet, an axe or something like that.
But she... She made this? SHE MADE THIS!
Haruka was in a state of ecstatic happiness. He honestly was just completely speechless. He took no more than a minute or so to fix the watch to his wrist. He even rolled up the sleeves of his uniform to show it off. It was weird having something so colorful attached to him after wearing nothing but black and white for so long.
"H-Hey... Thank you, Yukino. I appreciate it a lot. It's so much better than what I did. You actually made something... for me! That's crazy! I just spent a bit of money on something I thought was cute but this is really something else... Mmm, god I love you so much." Once more, he embraced her. He was perhaps a bit... too excited about this. But there was no other way to show he meant it.
"Ahh... This is awesome. I actually never had a watch before. I used to have a fancy little chain watch thing my Uncle gave me before I went to middle school but I broke that. This is nice, I appreciate it."
He pulled her in close for a moment, getting close to her ear.
"The heart was a nice touch." He smiled, kissing her cheek.
Cherry:
Yugure was rather terrified, more scared than when the nightmares she had a year ago kept repeating. As a soldier, you should not fear danger. In battles, blood will spill, yours included. As a result, the woman learned the pain of physical wounds was not something to dread. No... instead, she dreaded not being able to make him happy. This fright quickly vanished when he started grinning like a giddy schoolgirl. Suddenly finding herself in his embrace, she was pleased with his reaction.
He liked it... This pleasant thought repeated itself for a few moments. Watching him quickly throw it on kept her smiling. The Meister still didn't think it was better than his gift, personally, as she slapped together a bunch of random themes that'd make him think of her. In addition to that, it was designed as if she expected to wear it herself. Hence the girlish look. Still, seeing the thrill he conveyed brought her joy she hadn't felt in years.
"It's weird... Your gift isn't gaudy or anything, it's better than mine. I'm sorry... I love you too-" Yugure tried to keep her pride down, apologizing for the mess of a trinket presented. However, this ceased when Haruka squeezed at her again. Cutely mewling in response, arms wrapped around him in turn.
"I wanted to give you something that would remind you of me, even if we had to be apart... You don't have to worry about it breaking or anything, I can use my powers to fix it."
It wasn't replicated by magic, but it was still using mystic workings as a power source.
He got a bit close to her ear, and his nearby breathing was setting her off a bit. Thighs fidgeting, rubbing together, she muttered: "I'm glad you like it."
Jello:
"Y-Yukino... you okay over there?" Haruka whispered. He ran his hand and down her back gently, barely grazing the nape of her neck and every time he reached up.
"You seem a bit antsy." He kept up this tone of voice, breathy and close to her ear. She seemed to have really cute reactions when you teased her like that. Haruka wasn't usually that kind of devious, but messing around once in awhile was healthy for the soul. And Yukino had a lot of soul she needed to let have a break from work. She was obviously fatigued after all that soldier work, and he wasn't about to let the opportunity go to waste.
"We can take this upstairs if you want? I'm sure you don't want the staff to see you like this? Besides, it's easier to talk in private, yeah?" Haruka took one of Yukino's hands in his, slowly leading her out of the kitchen area, interlocking his fingers with hers, maintaining eye contact. That was probably the most important part of the spell. His attention was all her's, and all on her.
"To your room?" He smiled, gesturing forward. He didn't know where it was anymore. It's up to her to lead him around for now. Haruka was happy he finally got a night to himself with Yukino. This hadn't happened in a long, long time.
Cherry:
"Y-Yeah... Yeah..." Yugure responded, thought a bit mindlessly. "Antsy" was putting it lightly, as she had a lot of inner frustration to work out. Honestly, the woman wanted to knock him out after the first two questions considering his actions. He knew, seeing her squirm. The movement of his caressing her back... whispering softly to ear... goddamn this man, making her lightly moan. This feeling of agitation was completely foreign, a new kind of impatience for a craving unable to be described. He mentioned the staff seeing her like this - who cares? They're getting paid, so they shouldn't complain even if their orders were to watch paint dry.
Admittedly, however, the man had a point. Not a point that was coherently reasoned out in the mess of the soldier's state of mind, but a point nonetheless. Private quarters of the queen were a suitable destination. Having a hand taken by her dearest, longingly staring at him for as long as possible, she was led out of the kitchen. It barely occurred to the animal that Haruka forgot where her room was.
Tightly gripping at his hand, Yugure led him up the stairs, through the hallway, into her room.
