For the 7th and final day of MaouEmi week 2020! Hope you like this!

Sunday theme: Festival

Festival Traditions

Alas Ramus giggled happily as she walked around the beautifully decorated town with her parents. Both her hands held by Maou and Emi, Alas skipped between them with sparkling eyes. Maou glanced at the little girl and smiled lovingly. "Having fun?" he asked, making Alas jump up with a grin "Yes!". Emi also smiled at them both secretly. Their daughter has been very excited about the festival since last week.

Maou glanced at Emi's smiling face with a soft smile of his own. She truly was beautiful in his eyes. "Emi?" he called and she looked up at him, tilting her head. "Y-you look pretty with your hair up", Emi's eyes widened slightly as she small blush formed on her face. "A-ah thank you" she gave him a small smile in return.

Compliment the girl…check.

The happy trio went to different stalls, tasting various foods and playing some games. "Papa, my feet hurt!" Alas pouted at Maou as she tugged on his sleeve. He immediately gathered her in his arms and sat her on his shoulders, "There you go!". The little girl hugged his head and exclaimed, "Papa is the best!". Maou laughed and waited for a chance to make his next move. There were several excuses he could use for that too.

The place can get crowded and we could fear getting separated, or someone can bump into her and she might lose her balance, or she can find it hard walking in those s-

His thought process got interrupted when suddenly Emi stumbled a little and grabbed onto his arm. Maou quickly helped her steady herself and held her hand. "Those shoes giving you trouble?" he asked to which Emi gave a sheepish laugh "Yeah…hey, l-let me go…". She gestured to their hands but Maou just gave her a smile, lacing their fingers together. Emi didn't pull away.

Hold the girl's hand…check.

"Papa! Papa! I want that doll!", Alas exclaimed from her place on Maou's shoulders, pointing at a stall. They had to hit the doll they wanted with a ball to win the game. They had three chances and Maou hit the target in his second try, much to Alas's pleasure. Then he turned to Emi "Which one do you want?", to that Emi gave a surprised look but pointed at one nonetheless. He missed it at the first two times, and was getting nervous about the last try left. "Oh, just give it to me!" Emi laughed at him teasingly and grabbed the ball, hitting the doll square in the face with it. She flashed a smirk at him and took her prize, as Maou sweat-dropped.

Win the girl a gift…check?

They chose a bridge as their spot to watch the fireworks show. They wanted to have a place with a great view for Alas. The said girl was sitting on the railing, Maou's arm wrapped around her protectively, as she stared at the sky impatiently for the fireworks to start. "Today was fun" Maou stated, to which Emi smiled faintly "Yeah". Just as the first firework shot into the sky, Maou turned to Emi, "Emi?". A little ticked off at being disturbed, Emi turned her face, only to me met with a pair of lips on hers.

Emi stared at Maou's closed eyes with her wide ones, completely frozen. It was warm and gentle, but before she could even think to respond, he pulled away.

Kiss the girl during fireworks…check.

"W-wha-what was that for?!"

"…festival traditions"

This is the end of the MaouEmi week 2020! Hope you all enjoyed it! Thank you all for supporting! ^-^
