Hacking #13: Rest (Closed)

[technologic]

Characters: April and Aleph
Setting: Floor 25 (Locked to Aleph).
Format: Brackets to start with, but I can match you
Summary: Due to a combination of Aleph's towerversary and recent plot happenings, they decided a date was needed in order to unwind a bit.


[It's in the evening when they head down to the meadow floor, April with a couple of bags slung over her shoulder; one with food and one with something she had made for Aleph. She eventually flops onto the ground under a tree with a sigh, and glances over at him with a small smile.]

It's nice to have a bit of a break, huh?

[alephbet]

It feels... warm. Like the sun.

[technologic]

Aha, it works! A-and you can open your eyes. [April grins happily to herself.]

You mentioned once about worrying over not remembering what the sun felt like, s-so I made this. It's not as strong as the sun, b-but I wanted to make something to help...

[alephbet]

{Eyes open.

Hugs. So much hugs.]

[technologic]

[Squeak. And she hugs back.] A-Aleph?

[alephbet]

Thank you... [Still hugging.]

[technologic]

[Just gonna reach up to pet his hair gently.]

... I-it's nothing, I said I would do it a-and I always keep my word.

[alephbet]

But it means a lot to me.

[technologic]

W-well, I do want to make you happy... A-and this is easily rechargeable too, j-just let me know when it starts getting dim a-and I can recharge it, so it w-won't completely die for a while...

[alephbet]

You're the best. The absolute best.

[technologic]

Wha- I-I'm not! I just... I-I just wanted to make you happy. A-and there's something else I want t-to give you too...

[alephbet]

Really? What is it?

[technologic]

Well, um, h-here... [And he'll be getting a fox plushie offered to him.] I-I dunno, I was making this a-and I thought of you, s-so...

[alephbet]

It's... it's really cute!

[It, too, is getting snuggled.]

[technologic]

[So much snuggling going on now.]

I-I'm glad you like it! And t-the light too.

[alephbet]

You're really talented, you know. The absolute best.

[technologic]

N-no way... I-I just like making things for you.

[alephbet]

I'll learn how to make things too and make you something.

[technologic]

Eh? Y-you don't have to d-do that. [Though April still snuggles close to him anyway.]

[alephbet]

I'd like to! If it would make you happier.

[technologic]

It... I-it would. [She fidgets shyly, and then leans up to kiss him.

[alephbet]

[Smooching is great. He likes smooching.]

[technologic]

[That's good, since she does too, though air is required, which means she has to eventually pull away.]

T-t-thank you... A-and I'm sure I'll l-love whatever you m-make.

[alephbet]

I'll try my very hardest to make it something great.

[technologic]

Ehe, I know you can do it. But I think anything you make would be great.

[alephbet]

That means a lot to me.
