The Firelights decided to throw a small celebratory party for the success of today’s mission. They held the party in Ekko's honor—the man that made everything possible for the Firelights and the man that will always be admirable to their eyes.

And that man only happens to be your lover. Your lover who doesn’t forget to entertain every single one of the people. It was his beautiful selfless way of conveying that he appreciated everything they gave. But Ekko is also a man whose social battery dies a bit too fast.

You were in the middle of a conversation when you and Ekko caught each other’s eyes from across the open place. He was already seated, an almost empty glass of drink in his hand, but then suddenly stands to come and get you.

There’s an attractive grin on his face when he grasps your arm from behind. “I’m sorry ladies, but I might have to borrow this one for a minute.”

And Ekko does, dragging you away from the party and into the shadows of a closed underground tunnel inside the base. He keeps you gently against the wall, towering over you as he places a soft peck on your cheek.

“Come here please,” he whispers with a soft smile, pulling you into his chest then hugging you around your neck.

He needs your presence to bring back all the energy he’d lost in socializing since you’ve always been great at bringing the best out of him anyway.
