Oh Beautiful For Spacious Skies... (Cain)

[Deleted]

So ever since Cain originally brought Sang Hee to see the United States... or one small section of it anyway, Sang Hee had been hooked. And it wasn't just because she enjoyed the country. She was hooked because she loved spending time with Cain. Had she enjoyed his company this much in school? Maybe... but did that matter? She liked being around him now.

Ever since the first trip, she had been anxious to go back... to see more. But how to ask Cain without being rude? She damn sure didn't like to sweet talk. She barely liked to talk at all. So what strategy to use? Be subtle? Bring it up in casual conversation and hope Cain picks up on it? Write it down and send it to him via owl?

Ah screw it...

Sang Hee approached Cain at the Ministry and looked right at him, her eyes locked on his.

"I want to go back and see more of America," she said. "....... When you have time to spare." She then turned around and walked off, certain he would find her when he made the decision.

She also noticed how good he smelled then.

Wow, that didn't take long at all. Sang Hee stopped and simply turned to Cain when he approached her. He made the suggestion of the time-turner, which was quite odd to her. Was he willing to go that far to spend time with her? And why would she argue? Was it possible he had some of the feelings for her that she had given up on telling herself that she didn't have for him? She couldn't help but give him a small, quick smile and nod.

"Alright, we'll do that then," she said. A time-turner couldn't be that bad of an idea. After all, with the way a time-turner worked, if either Cain or she would do anything odd because of it, they would be able to tell by now. At least she thought it worked that way. But she wasn't worried. She was going to spend more time in America... and more importantly... more personal time with Cain.

"I'm ready when you are," she said.

Sang Hee was quite anxious once she saw him with the time turner. If anything, it would give them more time together and in that most interesting country. She tried not to blush but failed when the necklace drew them close, and then looked down and blushed more when he offered his hand. She supposed she would have to take it for this to work. But why was she thinking it such an "obligation"? She... wanted to take his hand, and a lot more quickly than she expected, she did, smiling at him a bit.

In a flash, they were no longer in the Ministry or the present, but in a gorgeous part of the United States. Where, she had no clue, but she was anxious to know given how magnificent it was.

"It's beautiful here," she said looking around. She then turned to Cain. "But... where exactly is here?"

Sang Hee was almost sad when Cain slipped his hand away. Why was she though? The only physical contact she had ever really enjoyed was beating the hell out of a dark magic user. This contact was obviously different and she... well she couldn't lie and say she didn't enjoy it.

She decided to focus on the beauty of the place again as Cain told her of the little town and the Winter Fair. She wanted to see how more American Wizards and Witches lived, so this would be perfect. She turned to Cain, finding herself cracking another small smile upon looking at him. She was almost mad at Cain. He made her smile too damn much and she hated smiling.

"Okay, let's go there," she said, not showing the far strong amount of readiness to head that way that was inside her. She then found herself extending her hand again for him to hold. She almost drew back upon realizing it, but found that was even more awkward to do that, so she kept it out.

When Cain took her hand, Sang Hee was glad she had extended it. She found holding hands with someone one cared for a very good feeling.

Sang Hee had not been to many festivals, and certainly not one like this. It was weird seeing so many people having fun in an innocent way. The "fun" she was usually used to seeing was the chicanery of dark folk in Knockturn Alley when she was on the hunt. And her idea of fun was taking some of them down. But the sight of these people was... joyous.

When Cain asked what she wanted to do, Sang Hee looked around before seeing a wand firing booth. She watched as people hit moving targets to win prizes. She smiled at Cain and motioned to it. Though as she headed that way, she smelled something very interesting... and very good. She turned to see a both selling something called "Corndogs".

"Perhaps something to eat first?" she asked.

Sang Hee took the corndog and looked at it curiously. She had hotdogs before on rare occasions, and found them enjoyable, so she supposed she would like this as well. She watched as another person nearby placed mustard on it and applied some herself. She took and bite, took it in, and nodded to Cain.

"I have not," she said. "It is really something. Perhaps I'll have another before we leave here." She then looked over at the wand target game. "That game looks incredibly simple, but I want to try it. It seems the victors are awarded interesting prizes." She watched as a boy carried a giant stuffed Hippogriff toy that he had just won for his girlfriend. "... very interesting."

She turned back to Cain and smiled.

"If you don't wish to do that, we can do something else though," he said. "I just enjoy being here with you, Cain. You are good company." From some, that might not have meant much. But from one like Sang Hee, it meant a lot. In fact, she never recalled telling anyone else they were good company.

Sang Hee shook her head as Cain said they might be cheating at the game. She didn't quite pick up the humor in what he said.

"I do not agree," she said. "There are no rules stating that a person must be of a certain skill level."

She did smile when he complimented her eyes and smile. Her face then felt funny again. Why did it feel so funny around Cain?

"Thank you," she said. "You have very handsome features as well, Cain. There is an expressions I have heard. You are easy on the eyes." She turned and smiled at him a bit. She almost felt like asking him if he would consider being involved in a deeper relationship, but... she had never even discussed that regarding other people, let alone her and someone else.

She pushed the thought out as the man behind the counter spoke to them. She smiled when Cain said she could go first. Such a gentleman.

"Very well," she said. She picked up the wand and of course hit every target perfectly. She then looked at the shocked fellow behind the counter. "Is it possible to raise the level of difficulty?" The man just shook his head.

Sang Hee couldn't help but smile at Cain's play in the game. It made what had turned out to be an incredibly dull game a bit more entertaining. The man behind the counter asked them to pick their prizes in a way that it seemed like he was trying to get rid of them. Sang Hee ignored the rudeness and was about to pick her prize when the chaos erupted. Sang Hee went for her wand with a rapid pace and turned to face the men. She listened as Cain spoke to her about the wanted men. When he suggested they put their wand-slinging skills to good use, Sang Hee nodded. She was a bit upset that this might ruin their day together, but she was always ready to fight.

When the dark wizard verbally representing Garran said they would wipe the two off the face of the earth, Sang Hee's eyes narrowed as she used her Non-Verbal Magic to blast him with her wand. She then aimed for the next one who tried to attack her.

"Today I have discovered the joy of having fun with a good friend... and the annoyance of having it ruined," she said coldly as she fired her next blast.

As she listened to Cain speak of how this was his life, Sang Hee knew right then and there if she was to ever have a man in her life, Cain was it. She was dedicated to her career and Cain was dedicated to the same career. Sang Hee focused on the enemy at the moment, but she wanted to have a little talk if... when they survived this.

Unlike Cain, she didn't need to chant her spells. She had Non-Verbal Magic down cold, which made her all the more a dangerous predator to those who did dark magic. She relieved two men of their wands and then hit them with bone breaking spells. Sang Hee was noble in the cause she worked for... but she would never call herself gentle. She wanted those who caused fear to fear her. She wanted them to reveal what cowards they were.

Sang Hee could tell Cain wanted this over with so the two could enjoy their day. She found that was amazing of him, and thought of a way to make him feel better as they fought.

"You promised we would have fun... and I am having fun," she said, and meant it. This... kind of was her idea of fun. "Thank you, Cain."

Sang Hee had little time to react before he grabbed her and the large stuffed toy and the two apparated.

She soon found herself in a gorgeous part of the countryside and was under a lone tree. Sang Hee could barely take in all in before Cain turned to her and confessed his love for her. Sang Hee had heard too many guys in her lifetime give her crude remarks and cheesy pick-up lines. Those guys ended up in St. Mungo's. But never had a guy tell her he cared for her so sweetly as Cain did. And the straight up fact was that she felt the same feelings for him. So why would she... how could she say no? She wouldn't say no. But she had to think of the proper way to respond to such an amazing speech.

"Okay, Cain," was what came out of her mouth. She closed her eyes and sighed. Something better than that, Sang Hee. She opened them again. "That is to say... yes, I would like to be involved in a relationship with you. I would like to be your... I believe the correct term is girlfriend." She then slowly leaned in at first, but then quickly kissed him on the lips and drew back. So that was what that felt like. It was... nice.
