Gifting 2

Suddenly, a laugh erupts from her, unexpected and pure- a sound so unlike Blossom that it catches me off guard. She is not one that tends to laugh at all. Not because she tends to be depressed, but more so because her airhead brain rarely picks up on humor even when it's laid out in front of her. 

Or she just doesn't find the same things funny that humans do.

Blossom's eyes are shining, full of genuine happiness. "Hana told Master back then." She mouths between merry giggles. "She said that she made the greatest choice when she swore her eternal loyalty to Master. Her instincts couldn't have been more right!"

Before I can respond, she leans in and kisses me deeply. Blossom has never been one to initiate kisses like this- it's always me taking the lead. At most she tells me what she wants me to do, and waits to see whether I oblige her request or not. But this time, there's a vividly burning fire behind her forceful action, a sincerity that matches her words.
