There was an awkward silence between Ecru and Kanto. To them, it felt like their heartbeat was starting to get louder and louder, time seemed like it slowed down, and their neck was starting to heat up. It was getting unbearable until Ecru finally broke it.

"So ... " He said, ".... when's your brother going to leave?"

He somewhat regretted it as Kanto shot a glare at him, fortunately, his 17 year old girlfriend decided to calm down.

"Within 2 days .." She said, " .... at least he's not going off alone."

Ecru noticed her pouting and stifled a giggle, understandably, Cyan was planning to leave the village with his team for something, he'd have to leave his sister behind.

"I'm sure he'll be fine ..." Ecru said, " ... besides, you're going to be enrolled in Haven by next week, so cheer up so that he won't worry about you when he leaves."

Kanto nodded, it was true that she's going to enroll in Haven Academy. From there, she would have to face a situation like her brother's, new people, new enemies and so on. Her mind thought of a way to respond, she only found one choice, changing topic.

"Ec .." She said as she held his shoulder, " .... come with me."

Ecru couldn't reply as Kanto suddenly used her magic to pull the both of them to her inner world. Ecru saw himself in a landscape with no arrows sticking out of the ground, instead, it looked like it was about to rain on a spring laden forest, a clear sign that she's feeling conflicted.

"Ec ... " Kanto asked " .... what did you see in me that made you fall for me?"

Ecru stood silent, his mind processed the question but was struggling to find an answer. After a while, he answered.

"Well ... you were the first girl who had enough guts to deal with a jackass like me, you taught me what I needed to fix about myself. And lastly, you showed me a reason to act as a performer, you make people smile, you made me smile better than before."

He noticed that Kanto's cheeks were reddening, and so were his. He also noticed that the clouds were starting to clear up. Kanto asked again,

"Are you sure you mean all of those?"

Knowing Kanto, Ecru sighed, it was natural of her to double check whether whoever she's talking to isn't lying. He answered with,

"Yes."

Kanto understood that her Fennec Fox boyfriend was being sincere, a far cry from his initial trolling days.

This time, it was Ecru's turn to ask.

"Kanto. You sure you love me?"

If there was anyway that Kanto would respond, it would have involved him flying a few feet for saying something that stupid. This time though, Kanto just pulled him in and hugged him and said,

"Of course stupid. Why else would I drag you here .."

Ecru heard her voice waver and sniff, it sounded like she was crying. Just like Cyan, Ecru hated seeing girls cry, he stroked her head to calm her down when she continued.

" .... I'm really happy to have fallen in love with you."

It was when they looked at each other did Ecru see her face, tears were streaming down her cheeks, her eyes looking puffy, but she was smiling in the sweetest way possible and her eyes were also carrying that same glow ..

... she was crying tears of joy.

He didn't know what to do next, so he gently stroked her face and smiled at her. He didn't expect her to suddenly pull him and smash their lips together.

Then it really felt like time stopped for them, although the clouds cleared, the entire inner world faed to an electric pink haze as cherry blossoms started fallling.

They had to break after a few seconds for air, both faunus looked at each other in the eye and smiled.

They would have had this within the 10 min duration of her inner world if it weren't for a familiar voice saying.

"I finally approve of this .. "

The couple turned towards the voice and saw a really happy Cyan looking at them in approval.
