Jaakuna couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Wait. That’s a bold-faced lie. He can believe what he is hearing cause he knows Emiri and he knew that she loved him. He was waiting for her to realize it and finally admit it to not only herself, but to him as well. Jaakuna couldn’t be any more happy than he already is at the current moment. All the words she would speak, it would just resnonate in his ears as a symphonic melody sung by the angels high above. If last night when she stayed when him didn’t make him the happiest man on Ivalice, then definitely hearing her utter those three simple words with his name at the front of it made Jaakuna truly happy.

Jaakuan didn’t speak words. He knew they were cheap and actions were the only thing that would make sense. Taking his left hand, Jaakuna ran it across the right side(her right) of her face, stroking her ear, and brushing her hair behind said ear. He would then look deep into her eyes — her deep, violet eyes — and he would kiss her, but this time was different. All the previous times that he would kiss her(or vice versa), it was just out of pure ecstasy that stemmed from sexual desire and attraction. However, this time was different — deeper. The way he kissed her was different, the way he took her was different, and the way his lips met hers was different. It was like no other time before for the two of them. The aspect of guests being up was no concern to Jaakuna right now. He didn’t care if Wesley or Nadeline were up and about nor if Savayna was as well. All he cared about was this moment, this woman he’s sharing it with, and the kiss that, in his mind, would last a life time. Truly, this one kiss, for as long as it would carry on for, Jaakuna would cherish it just as he will cherish her, his baby, Emiri.
