Today you decided to go to that antique shop you've been eyeing for a while. As you headed inside, you saw a bunch of goodies but what caught your eye the most was a feather duster. As you go and reach for it, your hands almost full from other goodies from the shop, you hear a small yelp as it turns out it was a tail rather than a duster.

A crane, which was the one who had let out the yelp, looked towards you and blushed embarrassingly.

"M-my aplogies, it's a bit tight in here. Please let me help you with those!"

The crane spoke, it's voice soft and velvety. There's no way a crane like that could be able to own this antique shop on its own. So it must be one of those poor cursed guys again!

You remember yourself saving some guys before that were cursed just as the crane himself was. But the problem was, each one of them needed something special to break the curse, yet you can't seem to remember what it was...

After your purchase you came again the other day and asked to help the poor guy out, which he immediately agreed on. Day after day, you both started hanging out, getting to know each other and just actually having a good time. You also learned that the crane's name is Xianyun.

As a new day began, you went to the antiques shop again and entered as you saw Xianyun. He seemed rather... spaced out today which was unsual for him. So, with the kind heart that you have, you took him to the park with the cherry trees to help him relax a bit. There, you two walked around and admired the beautiful scenery in front of you both as Xianyun suddenly stopped you.

As you turned towards him, you couldn't help but feel your heart race with worry and... excitement? These past few days have been rather troubling you as you begun to sort your feelings out for Xianyun. The man was a gentleman to say the least. A dream guy everyone would want. A guy you would want.

So as he went to speak about something, you suddenly lost yourself in his beautiful bright red eyes and just kissed him on his beak. You kissed the crane. The very crane that had become your friend was suddenly transforming? A few pink sparkles came out of him and a pink mist and tada! He wasn't a crane anymore!

Xianyun was now half human, while he still had some feather in his hair from his curse crane form. He couldn't help but freeze as he felt your lips on his beak from before, so he stood still, staring at you with a small blush.

A few seconds went by, and as your expression quickly turned into a horrified one, after realizing what you have done, you quickly went to apologize when you were shut up with this time... his lips on yours.

Shock over came you at first but then later reciprocated as you both got lost in each others love and passionate touches. He broke the kiss afterwards to a few deep breathes as he stared at you lovingly.

"Was a kiss all that was needed to break this curse? Your lips felt like a strange sensation passing throughout my whole body. Is kissing you always this magical...?"
