Cor chuckled a little, brushing a stray strand of her hair behind her ear. Her smile was… Well, perfect. Just like she was. And he made sure that he would treasure… everything about her. From just spending time with her to the rare but so worth it sight of her smile.
"What?" Nora asked, noticing his laugh.
“Oh, nothing.” he smiled softly. “It’s… You have a nice smile.” he admitted.
"I do?" She held four fingers up to her mouth, as though she could feel the smile hiding behind her lips. She vaguely remembered Kaira saying something about her smile, once, long ago, but she had almost forgotten it now. When was the last time she had smiled, before she'd met Cor? She couldn't remember.
“Yeah. Small but nice.” Cor nodded. Though he certainly wasn't judging. Most of the time, especially as Black Light, he just smirked and there was usually a degree of coldness or sarcasm to the expression. Now, with Nora, it was gentle, warm, and occasionally playful but definitely sincere.
Nora placed her hand on Cor's chest again, watching Bit pulse above their heads. Everything was very quiet.
Cor sighed and placed his hand on top of hers, enjoying the peaceful intimate moment.
Yes, Bit said, and Nora smiled.
Cor blushed a little as he glanced up at the Bit, a little confused by the encouragement. The fact that the rascal had landed on his hand did assure him that Bit liked him, especially considering how the Bit had pulled away from him the first time they met. But did this mean that Bit trusted him too? Trusted him with Nora?
"I think Bit likes you," Nora said, smiling a little at Cor.
“I think so too.” Cor smiled, glancing up at the mischievous polyhedron. “But I wouldn't be surprised if there was something else Bit was trying to tell us.”
Yes, Bit responded, zooming in a ckircle.
Cor chuckled at the Bit’s antics and took a playful swipe in its direction.
No, Bit beeped indignantly, zooming around Cor's head a couple of times.
Cor chuckled again and leaned back against the couch, wrapping his arms back around Nora.
Nora sighed happily and curled into his arms, allowing herself to melt into him. Good stars, this felt good.
Cor would have to agree with that sentiment as he let out a soft rumble, lightly pressing a kiss to her neck.
Nora pressed her forehead against his neck, splaying a hand on his chest.
Cor let another soft contented rumble and gently held her close.
"Cor," Nora whispered into the still silence.
Cor hummed softly in acknowledgment and looked over at her.
"Cor," she whispered again, sitting up a little so that their noses were touching.
“Nora?” he whispered back, smirking faintly at how close they were.
She peered into his eyes. "Cor." His name was the best sound her mouth had ever shaped.
Cor chuckled softly again and gently kissed her cheek. “Nora.” he breathed. He really loved the way her name just rolled off his lips.
