Finally A Confession!(And The Future In Their Capable Hands!).

The demon lord's rider avatar with it's Eldritch Anomaly horse steed fade away, the black skeleton whispering You will succumb before its voice also fades away, as Phenics sees the black haze fade from his vision he is suddenly reminded that Yuki just kissed him... ON THE LIPS!!! FOR FRICKING REAL!!!!! And she's still kissing him! his face suddenly combusts into the color of a very ripe tomato.

Wait! Why is she still kissing me?! She's snapped me out already! Crud, I'm staring into her eyes, that's... Awkward.

Finally Yuki pulls her lips away from his, she is smiling at him with the biggest, most joyous, most toothy grin he has ever seen on her face, and despite himself he finds himself shyly smiling back at her, not pulling a flustered bluster out of his usual playbook, just quietly accepting it, the first time he sees her eyes in their transformed state, no pupils, just two baby blue irises.

He's sure she must be equally mesmerized staring into his own eyes, and that's not cause he has an ego, it's cause he knows a lone fiery yellow iris in one eye and another lone divine purple in the other must look weird, but oddly stunning as well, just like her own two blue ones, he finds joy in being able to look into her eyes while they are transformed like that.

"I got you back, you silly goose, welcome back, I was so worried, Phenics, you had no idea how I almost lost it back there, I almost... I almost thought I'd lose you, but you held on for long enough.

Yuki's first words to him since the cooldown kiss come spilling out of her mouth, relief and oddly enough, joy lacing her words despite the sentence that she just uttered.

"You did get me back, didn't you, Yuki? I knew deep down you'd come to my rescue... but gosh your eyes are stunning when ya in your transformed state, one of my favorite things ever.

Phenics responds in the same tone and then for the first time since their reunion he compliments her, he can see the slight flush of red dusting her cheeks... and she's grinning again.

"You really believed in me huh, birdbrain? You really think my eyes are stunning like this? yours are gorgeous."

Yuki utters the nickname she loves using for him, a term of endearment, and then she compliments him back.

"I think now is the right time to say this, and I've been waiting for eleven years to do so, but I love you, Yuki Yuuki.

Phenics finally admits to his eleven years standing childhood crush and her grin is now even bigger if that's possible.

"About time! Now you know why I've been so affectionate since our reunion, I love you too, Phenics Amaterasu!

Hollering, clapping and wolf whistling is heard from their friends and only light clapping from Michealus as Phenics leans in, Yuki does too and their lips meet again.
