Phineas glanced at Shiro when she spoke, feeling grateful when she stood up for him and Nik. His eyes softened when she leaned on his chest, asking for a hug. The pianist's face reddened; was she giving him a freebie? She didn't seem to be allowing him to move, so it also seemed a bit like a forcing thing. But Phin obliged, leaning his head on her shoulder as he hugged her tightly, watching as the last of the Magic Council left.
"We'll get him out of there, I promise," he said softly, trying to sound as soothing as possible despite all the chaos. He began to stroke Shiro's hair. Would now be a good time to do it? Here and now? What if he screwed up? Phineas didn't know what happened, but after all these thoughts that it wouldn't work, he spoke again. "....Shiro....I wanted to tell you something earlier, but I couldn't find out how to say it. I...I know it's a bad time, but I can't hold it back anymore. Because...." The half-Neko pushed a strand of Shiro's hair out of her face, leaning in to kiss her. After pulling away, he cleared his throat, his cheeks blazing red now. "You...you had me at the carols we played together on Christmas Eve. It was one of the first times someone sang along to my piano accompaniment. Your voice is really beautiful..." Phineas looked at the floor; a couple of tears streaked down his face. Mostly from sadness of losing Valken; the other part being him worrying about his and Nik's future. And a small part being proud of him finally gathering the courage to do this.
Despite the fact that the Magic Council had found them.
They were both in danger.
But why waste this opportunity to not do something he hadn't dared to do for months?
"....And I love you, because you've given me motivation to keep hanging in there and shown me that there is nowhere else Id rather be than here, with this guild, and with you. Miss Shiro Ai....will you go out with me?"
