“Falin.” She turned around to see a very nervous Marcille. “Um, I need to- I think you should know that, that I-”
Falin tilted her head and asked, “What?”
“ThatI’mInLoveWithYou!” came out all in a rush.
“Oh, really?” Falin asked. She hadn’t noticed before, but looking back it wasn’t exactly a surprise either. “For how long?”
“I, well, I’m not sure when it started, but I only realized when we were bathing together after we rescued you the first time,” Marcille admitted. “I was still trying to figure out what to do when, well…”
Falin nodded in understanding. “I’ve been a little in love with you for a while, myself,” she said. She’d actually thought about asking Marcille out beforehand, but had decided against it - they were already quite close and happy with each other, as friends, so what would dating really change that much about their relationship? She wouldn’t mind being proven wrong now, however. “So, if this is your way of asking me if you want to date…?”
“I- yes! Absolutely!” Marcille grabbed Falin’s hand. “I, Marcille Donato, would absolutely love to be your girlfriend!”
Falin grinned and kissed Marcille’s cheek. She blushed, but happily returned the favor.
End Notes: Bonus info/headcanons that I couldn't figure out how to fit into the fic: Senshi, Chilchuck, and Laios all managed to figure out Marcille's feelings (I'm basing Laios being able to figure that out on the changeling section). Chilchuck told Izutsumi right after she joined, but she probably wouldn't have figured it out on her own even if given time
