"Yeah.. what with you being old," he teased. Joking, while not something most people associated with Keir, was becoming more common in Prim's presence. She brought out a lightness in him. She filled him with joy. How could he leave campus? How could he possibly leave her when things were just getting started with Prim?
Her kiss was well received, and Keir tilted her chin up to meet his lips. He didn't care about morning breath. He cared about saying goodbye properly before the mission. Keir wanted something to savor while he was off doing whatever, wherever. "When I get back, we're not leaving this bed. Not for a long time." Maybe if the mission was difficult enough, the school would give him and the rest of the students a day off to recover. He could spend that time with Prim.
