The next night at the café,
Yuzuru and islyn sat together
Two plates of chocolate cake rested on the table between them
They ate quietly
Yuzuru kept staring at Islyn
She suddenly looked up and caught him staring
Her cheeks immediately turned red
A small smile curved on Yuzuru's lips
"She's really cute…" he thought
After finishing their cake, they walked together through the quiet streets
The wind was extremely cold that night
Yuzuru glanced at her
"Are you cold?"
Islyn nodded softly and replied
Islyn:
"Yes."
Yuzuru asked calmly,
"Do you want to hold hands?"
Her face instantly turned bright red
Slowly… very slowly…
Her hands reached for his hand
Yuzuru pov
Damn..... adorable
His grip tightened slightly
"It's warm," he said
Islyn smiled and replied
"It is."
Days passed
They became closer
Closer than either of them had expected
But one night,
Yuzuru sat in the cafe with Itsuki
His expression looked unusually serious
"Itsuki…"
Itsuki looked up from his coffee and asked
"What?"
Yuzuru looked down at his hands
"I'm scared of losing Islyn."
Itsuki raised an eyebrow
"Why?"
Yuzuru's voice became quieter
"…Would she still love me if she knew who I really am?"
Itsuki stayed silent
Yuzuru continued
"I'm a merciless gangster."
"I've killed people."
"Life with me isn't safe."
He clenched his fist
"What if she hates me when she finds out?"
Itsuki answered calmly
"Then tell her everything."
Yuzuru didn't reply
In the Dark Alley
Later that night, Yuzuru and Islyn walked together through a quiet alley
Yuzuru suddenly stopped walking
"Islyn."
She turned toward him
"Yes?"
His voice became serious
"There's something I need to tell you."
She waited patiently
Yuzuru took a breath
"I'm not someone who lives in the light."
His eyes darkened slightly
"I live in darkness."
"I'm a merciless gangster."
Her eyes widened
Seeing that reaction made his chest ache
But he continued anyway
"Life with me might be dangerous."
"Maybe one day I'll even die."
He looked directly at her
"…Would you still love me?"
Before she could answer—
Several voices echoed behind them
"Well well…"
"If it isn't the merciless gangster Yuzuru."
A group of rival gang members came from the other side of alley
Yuzuru instantly moved in front of Islyn
Protecting her
The men noticed her
"She's cute."
Yuzuru's eyes turned cold
The men walked closer
Too close
One step forward
Before he could reach them—
Yuzuru punched him hard across the face
Yuzuru:
"Not so close."
The fight exploded
Punches
Blades
Bodies slamming into the walls
Yuzuru fought like a storm
Blood spilled across the ground
Within minutes, the alley fell silent
The enemies were down
Yuzuru stood there breathing heavily
Then he slowly turned toward Islyn
His hands trembled slightly
For the first time…
He felt afraid
"Isl—"
But she walked past him
His eyes widened
He turned immediately
He reached his hands
But she was too far
His vision blurred
A tight pain gripped his chest
It was hard to breathe
Rain began falling from the dark sky
Yuzuru whispered quietly
"Is this… what they call love?"
The rain soaked his clothes
"If it is…"
"…it's really painful."
He stood there alone
He stayed in the rain eyes lowered
He felt someone's hands over his Head
His eyes looked straight and saw Islyn holding her hands above his head
Her eyes were filled with tears
His eyes widened seeing tears in her eyes
The rain stopped
Islyn muttered
You're hurt yuzuru
She took the medicine and bandage
Islyn:
Let me apply it
Yuzuru:
Did you went to buy it
Islyn nodded her head
He felt something warm at his chest
He chuckled with tears in his eyes
He took the medicine and bandage from her hands and put back in the bag
Yuzuru:
It's fine it's not a big deal
He took islyn hands put the on his cheek
His eyes were filled with longing
Islyn kissed yuzuru on the lips
He kissed back
She wrapped her hands around his neck
He wrapped his hands around her waist
They stepped toward the wall while kissing
Islyn Head gently touched the wall
Yuzuru put his hand on the back of islyn's head
Not letting the wall to touch the back of her head
He broke the kiss
Islyn kneeled down in front of him
She took a little box out from her bag
She Opened it
Inside it there was beautiful ring
Islyn:
Would you be my boyfriend
Yuzuru pouted
Islyn with clueless expression
Yuzuru:
Only boyfriend
Islyn chuckled
Seeing her chuckle yuzuru's world stopped
Islyn:
Will you marry me
Yuzuru
Yuzuru kneeled down
He chuckled and said yes
He gave his hands
She put the ring on his hands
He kissed the ring on his hand
He looked her with warm eyes and muttered
_It's beautiful like you my love_
Islyn burned fully red
He gently touched her cheeks and kissed her on the forehead then hugged her tightly
