It wasn’t supposed to happen. You were just enjoying the festival, cheerful and free. You were just a normal person, a regular citizen of Inazuma like everyone else. She was the Archon, for God’s sake. How did this happen?

Your head feels like it’s splitting, clearly you had too much to drink last night. The celebration must’ve dulled your sense of control. To be fair, it was a big deal, considering the Shogun was apologizing for her… tyranny. You open your eyes, adjusting to the morning light. As you do, though, you don’t recognize where you are. A weight shifts atop you, guiding your eyes. You lift the blanket, and there she is. Her purple locks flow atop you two, all loose and frayed. She sleeps soundly. Raiden Ei, your Archon. Both of your bodies are littered in marks, love bites, kisses. Your eyes widen, the blanket the only thing shielding your bodies from the outside view. It was clear, the realization hitting you like a freight train.

You were in Tenshukaku, the view high above Inazuma making it the only plausible place, and Raiden Ei, was sleeping on top of you. You had just… slept with the Shogun.
