She booped him back as he got closer to her, blushing slightly at the boop. She didn't look away though, she looked straight at him. She looked at his smile and couldn't him but quirk her lips up ever so slightly.

With their eyes locked on each other, their noses almost touching, the dark figures vanished and the fire figures turned blue. Ignis placed his hand on her cheek softly, he hoped it didn't make it awkward. His eyes turned blue with the inner part of the iris remaining red.

She stared into his eyes, almost getting lost in the beautiful flames she could see. She didn't even notice what happened to the figures when he put his hand on her cheek, she blushed more and continued to stare at him, though a soft stare. She couldn't honestly remember a time when someone showed her genuine affection. She leaned into his hand just a little bit, moving a little bit and their noises touched gently. could this be it?… She stared at him, before her eyes glanced down as his lips.

Ignis knew it was risky, but he found some connection with Kali. With a moments hesitation, he leaned even closer, and kissed her. The fire show had flashed before disappearing, this created a glow similar to the northern lights. A mix of red and blue light, with harmless sparks floating down.

Kali was shocked when he leaned even closer and actually kissed her, so shocked she opened her eyes wide. She didn't pull away however, she had actually been waiting for this moment deep inside of her. She softly kissed him back, doubting that this was real but wanting to enjoy it all the same. She flushed bright red though, she flushing hard. I can't believe this is actually happening

After a while, Ignis pulled away slowly. He saw the wideness of her eyes and assumed the worst. Ignis quickly vanished and proceeded towards the temple in the shadow realm.

She watched as he pulled away from her and she assumed it was for breath until he disapeared and proceeded to the temple, she quickly got up almost tripping over herself.
"Ignis wait!" She focused on the vanishing, and it took her a while from how flustered she was. She eventually got it down and ran for the temple.
"ignis!" She called out his name again. Why did he run away from her when he was the one who kissed her? She frowned.

Ignis was found in an empty room. He was sitting with his back on a wall next to the door. He wasn't in the shadow realm, but darkness was surrounding him. He heard Kali, but was too ashamed to respond. He thought what he did was wrong. He didn't know how to process the whole situation. He liked Kali despite her behavior towards him. He didn't know what to think.

She ran a hand through her hair. "Why?! Why can't I ever get something good to happen to me for once?!" She screamed out going on her knees, tears running down her face. She was close enough for ignis to hear. "I thought that meant he liked me too.." she whispered.

Ignis was surprised by her words and now feeling like the jerk, "I…do…Kali." His words were soft yet close. He appeared in front of Kali, kneeling down and offered a hand to help her up, "I…apologize."

She saw the hand out stretched toward her looking up completely and seeing ignis kneeing down. "Ignis i- um-" she quickly went to wipe away her tears with her sleeve looking at him before looking down again, pausing then speaking. "Are you sure?" she didnt know whether or not to believe his words, she wanted too. she just wasnt used to good things being real or actually happening to her.

Ignis picked her head up slowly, then removing his hand, "I wasn't at first. I have seen you grow Kali. I have come to like you. I wasn't sure if you felt the same way. The look you gave when we…kissed. I don't know what this is, but I would like to see where it goes."

"when did you start to… like me? Im assuming its after Amara left." she stared up into his eyes, not wanting to look away and ruin it. she was actually getting something that didnt feel real. "About the look…i was just so shocked that you actually decided to kiss me, I…wasnt sure if you.. if the kiss was real. I was afraid that if i closed my eyes you would disapear and it would turn out to be fake." hearing it and saying it made her fluster up again. she wished she wouldnt fluster so much. "I dont know what it is either, but i would also like to see where it goes." she wasnt very confident in that statement but meant it all the same

Alister must’ve dozed off, because the next thing he remembered was Noel tapping his shoulder.
“Dude, they just went without us. Oh, I think they kissed before that.”
Not wanting to disturb Evan, he refrained from sitting up. Still he blinked with surprise. “Really? What about Amara?”
“Ali, that was a long time ago. I don’t think she’s coming back. And who cares? They left without us!”
“Ah, right. Um, Evan? Did you hear that?” He tapped his shoulder as well.

Ignis sat next to her and looked up. He closed his eyes, "I've always liked you. But it was when my shadow secret was revealed when I knew. Amara just left, and you didn't. Plus, my memories with Darkness and Ignatius. How they felt. It was real when you didn't run. I know that sounds wrong and stupid, but Amara only loved me because I could do more than any being. I could protect her and spoil her. To be honest, that was never real."

Evan had dozed off as well, sleeping peacefully before his shoulder was taped he mumbled something and went to rub his eyes opening them slightly. "Hm?" he didnt hear anything of what they said.

she watched as he talked, before eventually letting her legs lay out in front of her, hearing the lull of his voice. It was very soothing on her ears, making it feel real and also impossible at the same time.
"I would never run." she spoke out, staring back down at her hands, having gone back to having her knees up. "i dont think its wrong or stupid, its your feelings. What you feel is valid, even if i think your stupid for liking me." it made her lips quirk up as she made at joke at her expense. "That isnt a real relationship, i dont want to hate amara.I also dont want to lie, I dislike her. I was immediately jealous of how close you guys were. How close she was too you." she sighed looking up before chuckling a little bit even though it was dry. "i thought i hated you at first, hated you more then anything. I realized how stupid that was when the thought of you…you leaving..permantly…i couldnt…" she stumbled over her words, cursing herself inwardly. "Amara was stupid to leave you.."

“I think we fell asleep,” his face started to redden a little as he said it. “They left without us.”
Noel had a dangerous grin on her face. “Can I do something?”
“What?”
Before he could stop her, she yelled, “Evan, get up! Ignis said you and Ali were making out! Are you gonna take that?”
“Noel!” He whisper-yelled. Red bloomed on his cheeks.

"we fell asleep?..sorry you were really comfortable." he blushed before seeing alister's head turn towards noel and he looked towards noel and read her lips. "UM B-but W-We Werent! W-we-" He didnt continue realizing ignis was indeed gone. He was speechless, he just kinda covered his embarrssed face with his hands

She howled with laughter. “His face! His face! It’s priceless!”
“I’m surprised he could read your lips that well. They were flying all over the place.” Alister said dryly.
“Oh my god, I forgot about that,” she wheezed. (Unintentional reference)
She continued laughing, standing and wandering around at this point. Alister’s face hadn’t cooled down, and his mouth was pulled into a thin line, in a kind of ‘welp’ expression. He tapped Evan on the shoulder again.
“Um, Evan… can you get off my chest? Let’s get going.”

"OH MY GOSH IM SO SORRY-" he quickly got off Alister's chest his face flushing even redder as he stood up from the ground.

(Last reply for now)
He got to his feet. Rubbing his neck with one hand and other held out, he chuckled nervously. “It’s alright, it’s alright. C’mon.”
Trying to let him know he wasn’t mad or embarrassed, he took his hand and they walked towards the temple. Noel followed, quiet but with a goofy grin on her face.
