Soulless x Grace: ......I Love you.

"..." He said not a word.

"Hehe." She giggled and sat closer to him.

They were at that fountain again. The fountain  where they first met. The same sunset, the same scenario, the same 'Mons.

"What is it?" He said, a small blush started to surface on his expressions. "...You called me here, and what were you going to say?"

"Oh, come on, you agreed to come~" She teased him with a wink. "But yeah, anyways, I was going to say- no, I was going to let you say something~"

"...?" He tilted his head so that he was looking at her diagonally, a confused expression on his face. "Say...what?"

"You know it~" The Zorua elbowed his chest, giggling uncontrollably. "I'm beginning to wonder whether you are like that when you talk to Rai, hmm..."

"..." Soulless was silent again.

"You really don't talk much, huh."

"I just...don't know what to say."

"Eh?" She suddenly turned and looked at him, staring straight into his eyes. The Buizel started to blush again, this time his cheeks were redder than before, and it became clear what was on his mind.

"W-What is it?" He even started to stumble on his words, which made him more awkward.

"Pfft- Ahahaha!" Grace couldn't help but burst out laughing as he said that, holding her sides. "I...I didn't know you were so dense! Pfft- ahaha! Well, I gotta admit I wasn't expecting this reply~"

The Buizel let her laugh for a minute before finally settling down, to which she suddenly grabbed his head and pulled her into an unexpected kiss.

"Mmff!?" His reaction was priceless, she could swear, as she smiled and closed her eyes, enjoying the moment and hoping he would too. Soulless tried to struggle against it, but eventually gave up and hugged the Zorua tight, almost squeezing her, but she didn't mind, and nor did he.

This moment lasted for several minutes, but to both they felt like it lasted forever, until they had to pull away from each other to catch their breaths.

"W-Why..." He said between breaths, paws resting on his chest. "W-Why do I have this special feeling...in here...?"

"Idiot...it's called love..." Grace placed her paw on top of his and blushed. "You know...you have a soul inside...you just need to not ignore it..."

"Really...?" He started to smile a little, although a little sadly.

"Admit it." She said. "Admit that you have feelings."

"..."

Silence followed for a few moments before he inhaled a deep breath and whispered into her ear.

Tears streamed down her cheeks.

Tears streamed down his cheeks.

He pulled her close.

She pulled him in.

No more words were said.
