More thanks to @supern-a-vengers for the seeds on this one!
- Ukai isn’t sure what wakes him up but when he finds his girlfriend
missing from his bed he isn’t concerned at first, she probably just went to the
bathroom or something. But as more time passes he grows concerned and goes to
make sure she’s ok. - What he does not expect when he opens the door into the
hallway is to see her standing by an open window…glowing…with opaque wings
sticking out of her back! - His voice is caught in his throat as she flutters those
sparkling appendages and leaps out of the window which he rushes to only to
find her soaring into the night sky. - He pinches himself hard, but when he realizes he’s not
dreaming he rushes to his bedroom to grab his shoes and jacket, though he’s not
sure if he’ll be able to see her by the time he gets outside. He’s also not
sure why he’s following her. - Upon exit of his home, he sees a faint trail of what he would
have previously presumed was dust were it not glowing so brightly. Going for
broke, he rushes through the dark streets in pursuit. - When he reaches the edge of a forest, he gulps; it’s awfully
dark in there. But a momentary flash of light signals the direction to head and
he charges forward. - As he comes upon a clearing, he sees she’s shrunk to the
size roughly of a humming bird, flitting from flower to flower, sprinkling
something over their petals. After a short glow, they seem to perk up. In fact,
the whole area seems brighter and more full of life. - She turns, a startled squeak escaping her lips and her eyes
are wide. How did she not notice him following her? - “Keishin,” she whispers, enlarging to her full human form,
though her wings are still present. “I…I…” she’s at a loss for words. - Swallowing his trepidation, mostly at the discovery that the
supernatural realm is a lot more real than he previously believed, he steps
fully into the center of the trees, arms open to her. - She rushes forward hugging him tightly and he keeps his
hands on her waist for fear of crushing her wings. - “I won’t ask the stupid question of why you didn’t tell me,”
he mumbles into her hair, “I just…wow, you’re so beautiful.” She pulls away to
look at him, tears hanging in her eyes. “I mean, I thought you were beautiful
before,” he flusters, cheeks red, “But this, you…you’re stunning.” - She sighs, leaning up to kiss him and he smiles against her
lips. “So this is why you took so long to stay the night with me,” he chides
softly, “you have a super secret, forest saving job.” - She giggles, tugging his hand towards the entrance of the
forest. “That’s not all I do,” she confesses. “I…I also heal minor illnesses
for people in the hospital. I can’t save the full fatal ones,” she goes on
sadly, “but I can help make sure those who have small diseases don’t get worse.” - He stares at her with wide eyes then pulls her into a more
fierce kiss. “I love you, I love your heart, I love everything about you,” he
admits and she blushes. He releases her, giving a confident smirk. “Get your
wings in gear, baby, I’ll be waiting for you at home when you’re done.” - She nods, kissing his cheek before soaring into the sky.
