Chapter 34: My Feelings

November 8th, 2088

Veronicas POV

I am sitting in the back room of the Nine Lives Trading Outpost, which apparently is the home base for Terra. I am sipping on some freshly brewed tea and the memory of facing death just a few hours ago seems so distant. Kira is sitting across from me, also drinking some tea. We have long since introduced ourselves and I have discovered that she is a very nice girl.

We had a good deal of fun swapping stories about Terra and I feel like she could be someone I could eventually become friends with. Although for right now, the thought of trusting someone else just doesnt seem possible for me with the exception of Terra. As a bounty hunter he must have heard about my bounty and the 700 gold coin reward for my capture. Yet he instead chose to save me and risk setting an entire country against himself.

I am no longer alone. This thought is echoing over and over again in my mind. I finally have someone by my side. The only person in this world that I trust, the only person who I have wanted to be with in the last 70 years, the only person that I love. Terra then spoke up again as I had just finished my revelation. And since you have become someone I can trust, I guess Ill show you who I am.

Suddenly, his cat traits started to vanish while a pair of rounded ears appeared instead. I should properly introduce myself. My name is Minato Cross. I go by the name Terra and I am a human. Normally I would be completely shocked at this, but right now I dont care. It is amazing how feelings of love can make everything else seem inconsequential. The fact that Terra is in fact a member of an extinct mythical species means absolutely nothing to me right now. I love him. I stood up and said Thank you for everything Terra.

I then walked right over to him and passionately kissed him. He didnt resist as I pressed my lips tightly against his and stuck my tongue into his mouth, savoring his sweet taste. My arms boldly wrapped around him as I embraced him. There was no space between our bodies and I could feel his forged muscles through his clothes as we pressed tightly against each other. Kira let out a loud Nya! in surprise at my actions, but I dont care. I simply focused on the wonderful feeling I was experiencing from this kiss. My heart was beating wildly and I felt alive like never before.

Only when I was about to run out of breath did I finally let him go. That was my very first kiss. I know that my face and ears are now a bright red, but I dont care. You said earlier that I had ruined your vacation. This is how Ive decided to take responsibility. I said that to him while my eyes were lowered.

I received no response, so I timidly looked up at Terra to see that he had an absolutely dumbfounded look on his face which was as red as mine. It was too adorable and also too funny. Pfft, hahahahahaha! I couldnt help but burst out into laughter. This was also something that I hadnt done since my mother died. My first smile, my first kiss, my first laugh. I look forward to all the other firsts that I am going to experience together with Terra in this new life of mine.
