“Do you wanna kiss me, Gale?”
That was… certainly an interesting question. Inappropriate at that. One moment, Heat is talking to Argilla like “normal” (there was nothing normal about Heat and never would be)—a rarity—and now, he’s bringing up some term Gale couldn’t recognize. There was a fifty-fifty chance he recognized anything seemingly unfamiliar, so this wasn’t all that surprising.
As plainly as ever, he followed that up with, “What is kissing? Does that help us reach Nirvana?”
That appeared to hit some sort of nerve with Argilla, first looking mortified before she covered her face with her hands and groaned. “Why didn’t I join Jinana’s tribe?!”
What did Jinana have to do with this “kissing” thing?
“Yeah. Sure. Guess it does.” Heat was barely holding back a laugh. Argilla fell to the floor but went unnoticed.
“Hmm… If so, then yes, I do want to kiss you.”
[The following scene has been redacted because it’s too beautifully awful for words. Please refer to the link in the notes for the 10/10 kissing.]
As soon as Serph and Cielo rolled up to see the horrific make out session before them, a sudden mix of disappointment and yearning hit them both. Meanwhile, Argilla fucking died or something. RIP.
