Mink gives Jake another hug. In her chest she felt her heart give a little flutter. 'is this what love feels like?' she asked herself. Without her parents to teach her these, she only had few books that they could gather. But they do also say somethings you can't find in a book, and only in experience.

Jake reciprocated the hug. And like Mink, he felt his heart flutter. He was suddenly once again thinking back to Mink kissing him after he was revived. Did she only do that because she was caught up in the moment? Or was it for some deeper reason?
He suddenly felt the urge to ask her, but could not muster the courage to do so.

Mink’s smile reached her ears. For the first time as long as can remember, she felt true joy. “Fate is a kind thing,” she said. A day before she would have thought the opposite. But now the curse is gone and all she wished for was finally here. To be on the surface without fear or pain. Never need to taste blood ever again. Held by the one she loved. Wait, loved?
She did feel happy being with Jake and she was overjoyed that he lived. But did she kiss because of that are was it really more?

Still holding Mink in his arms, Jake lifted his face to get a better look at Mink, looking her into her eyes and smiling. "Living with me, hopefully you'll always think fate is kind." he joked. "I'll try not to drive you too crazy."

Mink moves in a gives his cheek a peck and then pulls back a little. Her eyes were looking down and her cheeks turned red.

If Mink had not casted her gaze downwards, she would have seen a dumbfounded expression on Jake's face. She had kissed his cheek a few times before, but that time felt a little different. A little more... romantic? And to think, he had literally just been wandering what her true feelings were toward him.
Deciding to be a little daring after all, Jake gently cupped Mink's chin and lifted her head so their eyes could meet again.

Forced to see his face, the red in her cheeks grew brighter. "Ja.." the word caught in her throat.

Not given Mink any time to try to say anything else, Jake brought his face closer, closed his eyes, and pressed his lips against hers. He tightened the hug slightly.

The kiss held back her gasp of shock that came out like a squeak. But quickly the shock went away. Mink closed her eyes and returned the kiss. Her chest burst with a new warmth brighter than any. Yes maybe this is love, and as long as the two of them are together fate was indeed good.
The End
