Exhausted but happy, and definitely lighter, Lunafreya and Nyx headed back home in the late night. Lunafreya herself felt giddy from the gift giving, from seeing how their friend's eyes lit up at each surprise. Nyx had chosen most, knowing the others better than she, but some had her own touch. Eos needed a holiday like this, she decided. The joy was infectious.

Still, one gift remained, from her at least. She'd thought about Nyx's gift, about how she could show him how she cared. It had taken time and she worried all the same, but now the moment was here.

"Hey, it's after midnight," she murmured, as the door closed behind them. "That means it's Christmas, right?" Her smile was almost shy as she took out the small box she'd been hiding in her pocket. "I think I rather like this Earth holiday."

She had two gifts for him, truly. One, the box, had a handmade leather bracelet in which two emblems were expertly carved, of Tenebrae and Galahd. They were intertwined. The second was bigger, a framed painting. She'd found an artist to paint a picture of he and Libertus and Crowe. She'd gotten all the details from his torn uniform, and the photos he had surreptitiously around the place.

The indecision, the warring emotions on his face she knew were mirrored on hers. Despite her words, her plaintative plea, it wasn't so easy as that and she knew it. They'd grown up as what they were. Bound up in duty and oaths and restrictions. Had either of them actually lived? She remembered each and every time they had told each other of what they had to do right then, from trying to save King Regis to destroying the city to stop Niflheim. Where had there been time for a life?

So when he finally broke, something she could almost feel under her fingers, Lunafreya welcomed it with relief of her own. He felt it, too. She had doubted, had worried. His kiss wasn't gentle or restrained like before; firey, it felt like he was letting every thought and need consume them. She wrapped her arms around him as he nearly picked her up off the floor, her fingernails digging into the skin on his back through his clothes, as she returned the kiss with equal fervor. No one else had made her feel like this, not Noctis certainly. That was why she knew that lingering sadness for the months she traveled Eos alone after Nyx's death. She'd known that the possibility of this passion was gone forever. Had it been why she never resisted her own death?

She couldn't respond to his groaned words because his lips did not let up again. But she felt them. This was the first time they really had a choice. She would take it, greedily. And when they came up for air, she said, voice uneven and distracted, "Nyx....we are free, that's the promise."

It was just like that, they both ran from what was their own duty of the past. Ran from what they had known for the better part of their lives. Her the Oracle, him a refuge and soldier. The oaths that they took from their past lives lifted like a weight from his own shoulders. Who knew if he'd have second thoughts later if he was making the right decision, but one thing he knew right then and there, this was the right thing.

The way her fingers dug into his body, only caused Nyx to gasp lightly against her mouth. Not displeased, but very intent and happy with the feel. Just having her hands on him, or her arms around him was enough to drive Nyx to push forward more. Just as she felt the almost lift, Nyx didn't hesitate this second time. His mouth heated against hers, his fingers trailed down her body coming to land just on the upper part of her thigh. Just a shift of his weight, and another step forward, Nyx lifted Lunafreya up with ease and pressed her against the nearest wall to pin her there, as if he was afraid she'd flee at this point.

The proclaimed freedom did just as it should as their mouths parted. "Yes." He agreed with a light kiss to her lips. "I swear myself to you, Princess." He whispered to her gazing at her face. "Myself, my service, and my body and soul." He promised. Kissing her lips the slightest tender kiss. "I am yours alone." He kissed her again softly as if to seal the promise he just made.
