(Part 2 for this piece) --- Two years later...

The night air was crisp as Kira took a deep breath and went to do some last minute fix up around the camp site. This ran her rather ragged, as she was busy with official Alliance Lunar New Year celebrations. She kept this to herself, with a few alliance droids assisting in lifting some heavier stuff to the woods.

At the end of the first night of the lunar new year, Kira had slipped a note for Theron to meet her here, along with a gift, wrapped in red and gold. She sucked her breath, having a feeling that Theron knew what she asked. After all, he was a spy boy and kept tabs on everything around, even small stuff like Kira sneaking off with extra lanterns. Or getting a pot to heat up water. Or ordering extra items that wasn’t on the official list that Hylo and herself had ordered.

Just as she was fixing up the last lantern, she heard slight footsteps. Quickly, she turned to see Theron with a bashful smile. Kira approved at his arrival, as relief swept upon her that he was wearing the gift she had left for him. Admittedly, Kira was rather worried as she was a bit too risqué for Theron’s taste. But he wore the lunar new year outfit she left him, much to Kira’s delight at the sight of the intentional wardrobe malfunction.

“You’ve been rather busy Kira,” Theron took a glance around as he turned back, a faint blush developing across his cheek. “I didn’t have time to bring anything…”

Kira waved a hand. “No need, handsome. It’s not as grand as a few years ago but it’s just for us…”

“Along with the official celebrations.” Theron walked up to her and gave her a soft squeeze. “I thought what you were planning was going to be yesterday but I was surprised when you left me the note to meet here.”

Kira leaned into his warmth for a moment. “I had been planning this for months.” Regrettably, Kira lets go and gestures to the sitting area for them. “Let’s sit down and enjoy the snacks and the moon.”

She paused a little, awkwardness setting in. Even with Kira forgiving him during the last year and Theron relieved beyond measure, she was still relearning what they had before. But she knew things were different and they were both older. Probably not much wiser but it was a step forward for them. “And each other’s company.”

Kira felt the urge to smack herself, as she was not used to being rather needy of Theron. It was a normal thing in a relationship, one so precocious in their rebuilding as theirs.

Theron probably had sensed what she felt and gave her a small kiss. “I would love that,” Theron spoke softly, pulling them down to the sitting area before leaning in to kiss her again.

A laugh came to Kira’s lips as she didn’t expect the sudden movement to be plopped down on top of him. “Slow down there, handsome.”

Theron gave her another kiss on her cheek before moving away. “Sorry, got a bit carried away there…”

Kira got herself comfortable with the dress she wore and snuggled up to Theron. “One more kiss before we admire the stars for the rest of the night?” she asked, grinning in happiness.

Theron answered her with another kiss before they settled in for the night of quiet, for the new year.
