[garudas]

[Her arms tighten around him as if she is afraid he is going to run off then. Not this time...!!!

But she senses what he is doing, and while she could keep up this little game of theirs for a little while longer, the warmth of his breath mixed with the soft touch of his lips is far too tempting, and the moogles making noise at them and throwing glitter over their heads will stop once they finally do kiss.

So, with a grumble and a groan, she will finally capture his lips with his. It is a touch messy, tasting so much of wine, and she leans all of her weight over him, like she means to trap him where they are.

Above them, Kupli and Puksi cheer and squeal with delight, after joint groans of how long it took them. "Fiiiinally, kupo~"]

[ramuhs]

[He just watches her like the fox that he is, and when she finally gives in there will be a rumbling laugh as his arms tighten around her while he returns that kiss. No matter how messy or sloppy it is, it's still one that brings that bubbling warmth.]

I won.

[He still sneaks in between another kiss.]

[garudas]

[She swats him on the chest and devours his words with another kiss, sighing softly and contently into it.

Meanwhile, the moogle sisters are flushing and are deeply embarrassed.

"Should we leave them alone, kupo?"

"Maybe... I don't know how long they're going to be like this. They've been doing this allllll niiiight, Puksi, it was so annoyinnng..."

Benedikta waves them off.]

You may go harass some other poor soul now.

[ramuhs]

[He just chuckles as his eyes remain on hers.]

Aye, I doubt you'll want to be around for the next part.

[And with a mischievous grin he picks up Benedikta in his arms, the moogle sisters squealing as he does.

"Aaaahh let's go let's go!!!"]

[garudas]

You got your kiss, what are you both squealing about?

["Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa~ Kupopo~~"

Puksi covers Kupli's eyes as Benedikta continues to pepper Cid's lips and cheeks and nose with kisses, before the older sister drag her off, leaving them alone up on the balcony together. At long last.]

It took you long enough.

[ramuhs]

Me? I was waiting for you.

[A wry grin as he starts making their way back to the house.]

[garudas]

Noooo...

[She drawls out the word almost petulantly.]

You owed me, so I was waiting for you.

[And she boops his nose.]

But I got impatient and tired of waiting. That does not make you the winner.

[ramuhs]

The bet was to see who would fold first, and you clearly did.

[Kicking open the door~]

[garudas]

[The kicking of the door earns a small giggle from her, followed by a click of her tongue.]

And so what is it you want for your "hard earned" victory?

[ramuhs]

I think you know.

[A devious grin as he pulls her up closer, but then he gives her a more cheerful smile.]

However, there is still one thing left for the night before we get into that.

[Instead of their bedroom, he takes her to the living area where he'll set her down on the couch.]

[garudas]

[She is fully expecting him to whisk her away to the bedroom for the night, so when he takes a different route instead, she glances back over his shoulder with a confused sound.]

There is...? And what might that plan be?

[She may have forgotten about it in all the kiss and mistletoe chaos...]

[ramuhs]

[He just grins as he straightens up and holds up a hand.]

Just wait right there.

[And off he goes to disappear further into the house, specifically his office. When he returns, he'll have a few boxes in hand.]

[garudas]

[She is restless as she waits, wondering what he could be up to, and by the time he returns, she'll have found a way to lie down and stretch across the couch, and she is kicking her feet up in the air.

But she snaps upright the moment she sees him and the several boxes in hand, and her hand shoots to her mouth with a gasp.]

Shit... I forgot about the gifts... I have some for you too, I must—

[When she rushes to her feet, she wobbles...

And plops back down onto the couch.]

[ramuhs]

[He laughs when he sees her try to get up, and he just sets down the gifts down near her as he sits down next to her.]

It's all right. Admittedly I should have done this before you had that last glass.

[And then a quirk of his brow before he chuckles.]

Or three.

[garudas]

[She stares at him with a pout.]

Please, Cidolfus. I am not that drunk, just a little...

[Okay, maybe she is, but she is not so intoxicated that she can't appreciate what he's doing, and she throws her arms around him instead of finishing that sentence. It doesn't matter.]

Let me go fetch yours...?

[ramuhs]

[A soft chuckle as his arms go around her, pulling her closer.]

Think you can make it?

[garudas]

[Her laugh is giddy, and in spite of her words, she wraps her arms around his shoulders, allowing herself to be pulled in.]

Well, not if you hold me like this, I will not...

[ramuhs]

Mmm, such a tough choice...

[A grin as leans in closer.]

Can't you just be my gift? I'll enjoy "unwrapping" you just as much...

[garudas]

[Her laugh turns into a delighted squeal when he leans in, and she boops her nose against his.]

You may have that as well. But you would spoil all the other surprises with this one?

[ramuhs]

I can always have them later.

[And his lips already move to her cheek and then her jaw, hands moving to her side.]

[garudas]

[She nuzzles into his neck, lips trailing along the curve of his shoulder, welcoming the touch that she has missed in the last few hours.]

But I want to know what you have in those boxes.

[ramuhs]

More than you want me?

[A playful nip at her neck.]

[garudas]

Oh...

[She drags him down onto the couch with her, legs wrapping around his waist to keep him from escaping, as if he would.]

That is unfair, Cidolfus. You know well enough what will happen if we indulge now...

[Yet here she is, not doing anything to stop him, and even pulling him in for a kiss.]

[ramuhs]

[A rumbling chuckle as he accepts that kiss, pulling her in further as he leans back against the couch.]

Mm...quite the quandary.

[garudas]

Mm... Indeed.

[She rests against him, and whatever tension she had left in her body leaves her in a single exhale.]

Whatever will you do...? Free me so I can fetch your Winterstide gift, or perhaps we will be stuck here for the rest of the night?
