[Aigis straightens herself, removing whatever weight she had put on Minako.]
I-I love you. [she answers back] Even if I cannot be with you in the way others can. Even if I am not a man, or human at all. Do you still wish to be with me? I don't want to force you... but I want to be by your side. Always.
[Yes, Minako just confessed to her. Yes, she still assumes Minako doesn't want to be with her despite that.]
Aigis, I... [ she holds on tighter at that. minako finally pulls back enough to look at her, before pressing her lips firmly to aigis's, arms still wrapped around her. it's impulsive, as the first kiss with someone goes, and maybe she should have asked aigis but if this girl has ever made anything abundantly clear to minako, it's how she feels about her.
she breaks it off after just a moment, hoping the point is made. ]
It doesn't matter that you're not human. And I think I like girls better, anyway, but... that isn't the point.
I love you, Aigis. Seeing you grow over those months, I... that day, on the roof, the way you sounded. And now. Have you listened back to your voice when we met, and your voice now? It's so different. Maybe you're not human, but you're a person. I know all of this sounds dumb, but--
[ she smiles, glancing down. ]
I want to be by your side too. Whatever future we can have here is okay.
[As Minako kisses her, Aigis stays completely still. It's probably a similar feeling to kissing a statue, but at least the statue is Aigis.]
That was... a kiss. A show of affection. [Is she heating up a little? Maybe.] I am unable to feel that sort of stimulus the way you would, but it still... makes you happy. It makes me happy too. Thank you.
[That's... the proper response to being kissed, right? Well, she is thankful! Very thankful!]
I have grown. It has been difficult, without you. But I cannot be afraid of that change any longer. That's what you, and the others, have taught me. And still... [she blushes, a lone tear falling down her cheeks] No matter how little time we have here together, I want to spend it with you. I can no longer say I will never leave you, but as long as I am able... I will be there. That is the answer I have found.
[ aigis's response to the kiss has her smiling, endlessly fond of her as always. it's different, so thoroughly aigis. minako starts crying a bit as aigis goes on--another crack in the dam. ]
I never wanted to leave. [ she knows she's said that a few times, but still. ] I'm sorry, Aigis, I... the last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you or the others like that. How long has it been? Since I...
