The fact that Zelda had even thought about Astoria when making this blanket meant a lot to the blonde. She loved the gift and would treasure it for years to come.

“Usually, I don’t like surprises. But this one is the best kind.”

Astoria did a little twirl for Zelda with the blanket over her shoulders, an almost child-like giggle sounding from the blonde.

“It’s so beautiful. Thank you. No one’s ever done anything like that for me before.”

Homemade gifts always meant more to Astoria. It was always the thought that counts.

“It’s beautiful.” She said, wrapping it around her shoulders.

As she takes the blanket from her lover, she smiles softly, fingers tracing delicately over the stars. “This is so beautiful. Thank you.”

“What does this sky remind you of tonight then?” She asked, her mind ever curious.

When Zelda finally joined her and made herself comfortable, Astoria settled a little better herself. She propped cushions up behind her, half sitting up and her gaze focused on the one thing that had never failed to calm her ever-running mind.

Her tone was soft. Her voice calm. She just cared about the elder witch so much and wished she would relax.

“Come, join me.” She said, gesturing to the space beside her. “Sit. We can stargaze from here.”

Realising her nervous laughter had gotten her into trouble, she bit down hard on her lip, sucking the drop of blood up that formed quickly.

“I know, I know. I’m not saying you’re not a strong witch.” She said softly. “I’m just saying that the world will not end if you just relaxed for +

She composed herself quickly though. “Sorry. I just find it hard to believe that you can’t be relaxed. I bet I could crack that.”

She chuckled upon Zelda’s words, a playful roll of her eyes following. “Okay, okay. Fair enough. But just… be at peace then.” She said, bursting out into a fit of +

Being the last of her kind wasn’t easy and Astoria had felt like she hadn’t belonged it quite some time. But Zelda had changed that. So tonight? This was her way of +

Zelda was such a stubborn woman and one who did not fall in love at all. Astoria was quite the opposite. She felt deeply and whenever she was shown affection, she allowed herself to feel it. Although it wasn’t always for the best.

But with Zelda, she had shown her true love. She had taken +

Standing out on the dainty and decorated balcony, Astoria nodded her head, letting go of Zelda’s hand only to wrap her arms around Zelda from the front. Arms tight around her partner’s waist, she hugged +
