Description

Nicky had been visiting the library more often ever since he had gotten the knack of hunting down the recreational literature hidden between dry and aging volumes on everything from intergalactic geology to magic. It was a great excuse to spend some time with the nearly permanent resident of said library who always seemed to have one of the latter books in her hands and tended to avoid his gaze shyly everywhere else on the ship. Besides her own room this was her domain, her sanctuary, a quiet place for study where there was rarely anyone to disturb her until now. She didn't mind, not even when he took over her favorite chair because, for once after all these years, she finally had something far more interesting to study than all those yellowing pages. She could peer over the top of her books and stare at his beautiful face for hours. And when she thought he wasn't looking, Kysha would inch closer to him every day until she had edged right up beside her old seat.

He noticed. The time he had dozed off in the library and awoken with her face hovering very close to his had been a big hint, long before he had told her he loved her. Of course Nicky would never grow tired of taking the initiative to kiss her himself, but it was about time Kysha kissed him first for once. He was going to make this very easy.

This was a scene :iconhawkw: and I never got to do in Infinity, because it died before we even got to ship our characters properly.

*cue the Captain walking in on them*
C: *comments*
K: *runs away crying*
N: Do you even KNOW how much effort it took to kiss her like that without her fainting!? *fume*

See that excuse for a background there? It's supposed to be the Infinity's library. I used a lot of references for the first panel and to try to get the kissy stuff right (I phail at drawing kisses) but I kinda winged it for the rest. I had SO MUCH TROUBLE drawing people's faces in this thing, and every time I drew both of these people their faces turned out differently.
