Yagate Kimi ni Naru [TetsuEli]

Christmas always felt like such a wonderful time for Elise, the day that she could enjoy getting spoiled by her beloved iron-blooded knight from the entire day, so it came as no surprise that the Germanic lass was in such a delightful mood. She had just finished changing out of her pajamas when she heard a light knock on the door to the apartment. "Coming~" Elise called out, for a moment wondering who it might have been. After all, Tetsuko had her key to the apartment so she was a bit curious. Upon reaching the door and unlocking it, Elise opened the door and saw the pleasant surprise that awaited her. "Tetsu~" Elise chimed happily, although the sight of the bouquet of flowers in her lover's hands. It might have been a cliche gift, but for someone like Elise it was clearly perfect. It was such a sweet and romantic gesture, that Elise's smile brightened instantly and her cheeks flushed up in a blush. "Come inside~" The Eisenberg lass said, stepping aside to allow Tetsuko to enter the apartment and after closing the door behind her hummed happily. "Let me quickly get a vase for those flowers~" Hurrying over to one of the cabinets in the living room, a short search allowed her to find what she needed, and soon a vase was ready, making her take the flowers from her lover and gently lower them into the vase.

Now that was done with, it was time for her to greet her beloved knight. With almost childish glee she hopped over to Tetsuko, both arms wrapping around her lover's neck as she leaned in to kiss her lips. It was an innocent kiss, a mere tender brushing of their lips, but to Elise it was more than enough to convey their feelings physically, not to mention enjoy a taste of her iron-blooded girlfriend!

"hehe~ good morning Darling~"

Elise spoke with a playful smile as she finally let go off their embrace, a peek down at the plastic bag making her grin softly. "and I see you already came prepared for breakfast~" Good thing she did! In all honesty, she had learned to rely on Tetsuko so much for their meals, that her own cooking skills were somewhat lackluster. "Want to open presents first? Or do you preffer to eat breakfast instead?" Speaking of presents, in the living room a modest-sized Christmas tree was visible, with a pair of presents nicely wrapped in gift paper. "Speaking of presents~" Elise chimed playfully, revealing the three paper tags she had picked up earlier. "Remember those? I do hope they don't have an expiration date~" A playful wink followed at her jest, her smile still evident, no doubt caused by her lover's presence. "hehe~ It's a TetsuEli date~" The girl chimed happily, clearly having to do her best to not start bouncing around in joy. Indeed, it was because of who she spend Christmas together with, that this holiday was her most favorite day of the year.

Indeed, it was such a remarkable growth, and one that Elise clearly adored. The fact Tetsuko could give her those flowers without blushing fiercely and fidgeting helplessly showed just how much their relationship had come to grow. Indeed, the sight of the flowers was already something to put her in a lively mood, and the fact they were given by her lover made it an even more precious gift. The pink-haired lass slimed happily in the wake of their kiss, and as Tetsuko greet her, she answered with a delightfully happy. "Merry Christmas Tetsu~"

However, Tetsuko's explanation made the Germanic lass shake her head lightly in response. "They might just be pastries from a bakery, but the fact I'm eating them with you makes them super delicious~" Indeed, perhaps a silly thing to say, but to Elise everything felt so much more amazing when it involved her beloved Tetsuko. Humming happily as Tetsu placed the bag of pastries on the table Elise nodded her head excitedly at the mentioning of Christmas presents. However, when she revealed the old gift, the revelation that they didn't expire made Elise let out a playful 'wee~' and with a childish spin on her heels she looked excitedly at the present Tetsuko gave her.

"Aye~ Let's see what my adorable Tetsu brought for her princess~" A bright smile on her lips, the Eisenberg lass watched with a hint of childish curiosity as she was given the rectangular prism, carefully unwrapping it and upon the revelation of the present, Elise's cheeks flushed up again, especially when Tetsuko mentioned she had them custom designed. "hehehe~ My very own 'Tetsu headphones' Thank you darling~" She chimed happily as she opened the box and looked at the unique design. While on the surface they might had resembled earbuds, they were much larger, like one of those earpieces you might see in a sci-fi movie. It was a lovely present, and Elise clearly had an idea, for she swiftly pulled out her phone, connected the earpieces and handed over one of the earpieces to Tetsuko, upon which if she decided to put it on, she would no doubt recognize the cheesy love song that was playing through them, after all it was the very same song she had made for her beloved knight and played at the fourth corner!

Grinning sheepishly at Tetsuko she quickly took one of the presents from under the Christmas tree and presented it to Tetsuko with a wide smile. "Tada~" It was a small box, shaped like a square, and upon opening it Tetsuko would find quite a present waiting for her. It was a pendant, the necklace connecting to it was crafted in a way the metal seemed like a pure silverish color, almost elvish even, and the locket connected to it had the initials T x E engraved on the back, and opening it would reveal a picture of the two girls that was taken a while back. "hehehe~ This way I'll always be with you, even when you're busy at the hero academy~" Elise grinned sheepishly as she explained with childish excitement. "Gai-sensei helped me for the metal, knew a really skilled jewelcrafter in Kashima..." The girl shuffled her feet lightly while she hummed softly. "After all~ Life is the most fun when Tetsu and Elly becomes TetsuEli~"

There was something about seeing Tetsuko blush that always felt so endearing to her, to know that there was such a soft side to the iron-blooded knight that was reserved exclusively for her. Indeed, as she saw that blush appear on her lover's cheeks Elise couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat and a sheepish grin emerge on her lips. Indeed, as the exchange of gifts came and Elise carried out her plan, the endearing words of her girlfriend quickly earned a goofy smile of the Germanic lass who replied playfully. "Mhmm~ Can't skip an opportunity to show the world just how much I love you~"

Indeed, even if the popularity of her song had been a source of embarrassment for the Eisenberg lass, she still felt the song was one of the key elements that had led to their relationship to blossom even more, just like a beautiful flower.

The sudden peck on her cheek made it that this time it was Elise's turn to blush, a soft 'hehe~' escaping her lips as she smiled brightly at the sight of her lover having enjoyed the gift she had prepared. Indeed, those presents might had been a physical reminder of their love, but even without them, they would never be alone. After all, their love was undying, infinite and could reach across any time and space.

With the gifts properly exchanged Elise took a seat at the table, watching with interest to see just what sorts of pastries Tetsuko had brought along. Fresh croissants, some pieces of bread with chocolate pieces inside them, and even a sausage roll! It seemed she had kept into careful consideration the Germanic lass her European roots, something which made Elise grin as she took the sausage roll and took a bite from it.

"Mhmm~ I had brought some popular movies that we can watch together, or maybe if you're interested I got some discounted tickets for that newly opened Aquarium in town~ It seems like it's a really beautiful and nice place... perfect place for a romantic date~" Elise chimed with a playful smirk at her lover."

She had some ideas in mind already, especially with the day being so long, and looking back at the old present she had left on the table, Elise couldn't help but quietly ponder for a moment about an idea she had in mind. Was it too early? She didn't know, after all it was hard to say, but like her father said to her once: honesty is an important part of a relationship, and only through communication, love and understanding could it truly prosper.

"Maybe I should get you to sing me a Christmas song~ Like 'All I want for Christmas is 'You'~" A mischievous snicker escaping her lips Elise looked at her lover, the endearing gaze clearly expressing just how happy she was to spend this day alongside her beloved knight. It truly felt like when she had Tetsuko at her side, that there was a little paradise on earth, just for the two of them...

Perhaps it was because of who they were, that their relationship had allowed to blossom into something so beautiful and strong. Indeed, ever since they were young their lives had already been strongly intertwined. Tetsuko who had always upheld the role of her beloved knight, a guardian who would support her through all the hardships of life, and tried her utmost to protect her from the evil that threatened their peaceful existence, and Elise was her spoiled little princess, who always relied on her, but in return also showered her with limitless love and affection. Over the years it only intensified, her affection and love growing into romantic feelings, and in the wake of the music night where she had delivered her song, their feelings had finally reached one another. To Elise there was no joy as great as feeling that love the two girls shared between each other, a bond that was so special that it was meant for only the two of them. However, in the recent days Elise came to realize that it was not just bliss she felt from it, but she also gained a determination that was so special, so strong that it allowed her to muster the courage to face the hardships of reality. Indeed, it was because they had each other, that they could bring out the best in each other.

As she shared the breakfast with her beloved Tetsuko, Elise hummed happily as she listened to her lover's opinion of the ideas she had in mind for their day. Indeed, an aquarium was a timeless choice, a quiet and romantic place filled with so much beauty, and the idea of enjoying an pleasant aftermath by watching some movies together while snuggling in front of the television sounded like quite a good idea for the Germanic lass. Indeed, Tetsuko's words brought a smile to her lips as she nodded her head lightly in agreement. "Mhmm! Leaving the choices for when they come is part of the adventure~" The Eisenberg lass declared happily as she finished her breakfast.

Still, Tetsuko's remark about a Christmas song earned a soft giggle from Elise who smiled warmly at Tetsuko. "Hehe~ Then again, a Kiai-volume confession sounds quite romantic in its own way~" Teasingly poking out her tongue at the remark, the Germanic lass had just finished picking her jacket, a stylish black coat she had recently purchased from a store in Tokyo and nodded her head sheepishly at her lover. "Mhmm~ Then first off: To the Aquarium!" Elise chimed happily in return, wrapping her arms around Tetsuko's arm as they left the apartment and made her way to the aquarium.

Fortunately, their destination wasn't that far of a walk, and the city itself was a pleasant scenery to enjoy thanks to the Christmas decorations and all the festivities going on. Humming happily as she nuzzled against Tetsuko the Germanic girl could already see the Aquarium's buildings in the distance! To be honest, she couldn't even remember the last time she had been to one! So to visit this one alongside Tetsuko made it an even more special occasion for her!

There was something romantic to Tetsuko's notion that they didn't need to plan ahead when they were together. Letting things just flow naturally, basking in their love and affection for one another might had been the truest form of an adventure in the Germanic lass her opinion. Still, Tetsuko's comment about the jest of a loud confession made Elise snicker softly, inwardly musing about the thought if that meant Tetsuko was loud when she got excited. It already earned a sheepish grin from Elise who mused playfully. "I should keep that in mind~ After all, I'd prefer to hear every endearing word that flows from your lips~"

Indeed, winter was such a pleasant season for the two of them. The snow was always pleasant to look at, the weather was much more agreeable with a slime girl like herself, and she had plenty of reasons to snuggle close to her beloved knight. Indeed, as they snuggled against one another on the way to the aquarium, they soon arrived at their destination, upon which Elise handed over the tickets to the person at the lobby and once they were inside it almost felt like they had stepped inside a different world. The coldness had faded away, and snow found itself replaced by water, like aquariums containing all sorts of aquatic animals. At first there were several differently colored fish of variating sizes, and after that, they arrived at what appeared to be an aquarium that contained several jellyfish. "Oooh! Jellyfish! Aren't they the fishies whose tentacles can make you go numb if they touch you? I think I read about that before..." Elise mused softly as she playfully nuzzles against Tetsuko, sneakily slipping a hand under her jacket to tickle the girl's abs. "hehe~ I'm a Ellyfish~ and with my tentacles, I'm going to make you squirm till you go numb~"

Giggling heartily at her playful teasing, and enjoying the feeling of Tetsuko's abs, Elise grinned playfully as she withdrew her hands and hummed softly. "Anything you're curious to see? I think there are some seals over there, and dolphins that way~" Happily pointing from one direction to the other, it was clear that Elise was quite excited for having this date with her beloved Tetsuko.

Elise couldn't help but giggle mischievously as Tetsuko squirmed at her tickling, the hand that shooed her away earning a playful grin on the girl's lips while she hummed softly. "Fine~ I'll spare you this time~ I'm such a merciful lover aren't I?" Teasingly poking out her tongue, Tetsuko's request to see the seals, and the way she described them earned a gentle chuckle from the Germanic lass. "I totally get what you mean! Like when they flop around or end up bouncing a beach ball on top of their head, and the way they rub their noses against you! They are so adorable~" However, as Elise prepared to step toward the seals, a hand reaching toward Tetsuko's, the nimble shift of her lover's hand came as a surprise, and the unexpected ticklish touch of her side earned a soft girlish yelp from Elise, who soon found her cheeks flushing up a bright crimson hue at the embarrassing sound she had just made. Indeed, despite being a bit of a trickster and a teaser, Elise was quite vulnerable to being teased herself, and could get flustered quite easily! Her hand grasping a hold of Tetsuko's own, she mumbled something under her breath and yet the bashful smile on her lips clearly showed that she was enjoying this adventure a lot!

Soon they arrived at the seals, one of them was, just as she predicted bouncing a beach ball on its head, one was flopping around the area and another seemed to be gazing with a curious intensity at the arrival of the girls! "All the seals~ I'm sure that will 'seal' the deal for this place~" Elise mused with a sheepish smirk as she looked forward to see who of the seals would draw Tetsuko's attention first!
