First Kiss

"Can you say my name again?"

"Astoria."

"Again, please?"

"Astoria."

…

Astoria requested to hear her name called by Vaan repeatedly as she listened and savored the warm fuzzy feeling it gave her.

Their relationship didn't turn out how she imagined it would be, but the current situation was also not bad. She felt blissful being held by Vaan and found happiness in the simplest of things, such as getting her name called.

Nevertheless, after Astoria learned about Vaan's transmigration, she understood him better. Yet, at the same time, she also realized she knew very little about him.

Although Astoria enjoyed Vaan's touch, she also found it uncomfortable due to her armor. Thus, she pulled herself away from him to unequip it.

Shortly after, the two sat on the ground, cuddled together while holding hands, and enjoyed a short period of silence.

At first, Astoria's heart thumped excitedly, and her body trembled nervously, causing small tremors in the ground.
