She's lifted up, and by instinct, Lucy wraps her legs around Musashi's waist, ankles crossed at the berserker's spine, both hands cradling the back of Musashi's skull. She pours into the kiss everything that she has; her rage, her loss, her affection.
When Musashi pulls back, they don't part very far, still sharing the same air. Lucy shudders a sigh into that space.
"Hey," she breathes. Eyes wide, staring at Musashi like she's the only thing worth beholding in this universe, like there's an empty space inside of her that only the sight of a freshly-kissed Musashi will fill. Intent, gaze flickering over every detail of Musashi's face.
She really thought she'd lost her. In the end, Tenma hadn't been too bad, but Lucy's a pessimist. Shit changes for the worse, she's going to believe shit's staying changed. She'd taken one look at Tenma and something inside of her had screamed that Musashi was never coming back, just like David was never coming back, just like Maine and Dorio and Kiwi and Rebecca and Pilar. Because that's just how her life goes, isn't it?
Except Musashi came back.
"You-- fucking asshole." It comes out choked. "You courageous fucking idiot. You brave, self-sacrificing, short-circed--"
Lucy cuts herself off by swooping in for another kiss, needing Musashi's lips against hers more than she needs air.
