Thank you both.

Spoiler for sneak peak 2:

“May I have this dance, my lady?” Chrono extend a hand to her

“…With pleasure, good sir.” She hesitated for a second, before Carim took the hand.

A slow melody started up, and they both they let their bodies follow the music. The Knight enjoyed the silence between them, before the Admiral spoke up.

“You once said … that you wanted to steal my heart, right? Were you… serious about your claim?” the blunette asked her.

“Yes” Carim grimaced slightly. She didn’t want to deal with this. It was a spur of moment, and part of her regretted it, because it could destroy their friendship.

"What would you do then, if I were to tell you that you can’t do that?” Chrono asked

Carim wanted to look away, but she decided not to. Instead, she smiled at her dancing partner. “Really? And pray tell, why not?”

Instead of answering, the Admiral starts a walkaround turn. Midway into the move, he suddenly brought both of their arms down. Carim squirmed, and she can feel a blush forming on her face.

“After all,” Chrono whispered into her ears” It’s not stealing if it already belongs to you".

When she turns to look at him, any questions she might have left her thoughts as Chrono captures her lips with his own.

Edited. Thanks Crax.
