How. . .alluring. She is certainly a pretty site to behold; one that is attracting Neptune as well.

“Ooh, hehee. . .”

“Why not have some? Pudding is always better when you share it, y'know!”

Neptune scoops some more up, but holds it close to Astrid's lips.

Astrid chuckles and pats her girlfriend's head softly.

"I've never made it before, so I'm glad."

Neptune continues to scoop some of the pudding, savoring the flavor of it having a grateful, jovial expression on her face.

Astrid's now just looking off to the side with a bashful expression.

"I-It's good?"

Taking a plastic spoon into her hands, Neptune opens the container of pudding and scoops some of it into her mouth.

The result? Well, her excitement says it all.

“Mmmmh~! Soooo delicious! Yum-myyyyyyy~!”

She chuckles awkwardly before placing the box in Nep's hands.

Astrid opens up the box – it's a huge container of homemade chocolate pudding. Surprisingly, it's still chilled; although she *did* run all the way here at record speed.

ᅠ ‍‍‍✿ ‍𝚐𝚞𝚊𝚛𝚍𝚒𝚊𝚗 𝚐𝚘𝚍𝚍𝚎𝚜𝚜. נ‍『 ᅠ⎯ «« @planeptxne.bsky.social · Jul 18

“Oooh? What's inside?”

The sweet scent was already wafting through the small crevices in the box, meaning it was some sort of treat. Neptune has a suspicion on what it is already.

“You made it yourself, huh? Well, whatever it is, I'll appreciate it tons!”

Astrid takes a second to breathe before handing Neptune the box with slightly shaky arms.

"...I made it myself. It, uh, took a while to get the recipe right..."

ᅠ ‍‍‍✿ ‍𝚐𝚞𝚊𝚛𝚍𝚒𝚊𝚗 𝚐𝚘𝚍𝚍𝚎𝚜𝚜. נ‍『 ᅠ⎯ «« @planeptxne.bsky.social · Jul 18

“Oh—!”

Neptune just now noticed the box that had nearly slipped out of Astrid's hands. She simmers down a bit, taking a step back and putting her hands together in front of her.

“Hehee, sorry. . .I just got so excited, I couldn't control it!”

"H-Hey, ahaha, enough!~"

She tries to calm Neptune down by patting her head.

"You're gonna make me drop your present, silly."

As the two regain their balance, Neptune starts peppering Astrid's face with rapid-fire kisses. Her cheeks, her forehead, and her lips; no place was safe from Neptune's kisses!

“Mmmwah~! I missed youuu!”

Astrid's ENTIRE face turns bright red, and she nearly drops the box. She clearly didn't account for *this* outcome~

ᅠ ‍‍‍✿ ‍𝚐𝚞𝚊𝚛𝚍𝚒𝚊𝚗 𝚐𝚘𝚍𝚍𝚎𝚜𝚜. נ‍『 ᅠ⎯ «« @planeptxne.bsky.social · Jul 18

Neptune immediately pounces and gives Astrid a biiig hug, tightly wrapping her arms around her girlfriend.

From sensing feelings to sensing an energy source, Neptune is already getting excited since she knows *exactly* who it is. As she waits near a doorway, she's getting ready to surprise her favorite person in the whole multiverse.

“Hehee. . .come ooon. . .”

Astrid rapidly inputs coordinates on Pangaeic Refactoriser right before landing, which calibrates her destination exactly, resulting in a precise landing as she jumps off and resheathes the sword at the last moment.

"...Oh, wait."

She holds her hand out, catching the boxed pudding as it falls.

How about that. . .

For some reason, Neptune can sense an incoming feeling of joy and literal sweetness, despite not even having stepped foot off of her bed yet. Perhaps it's a sign!

Cue Astrid fricking sprinting across walls before throwing her sword forward, jumping on it and riding it like a hoverboard on her way to visit Neptune.

She's holding a box of chocolate pudding in her arms~
