In a church that stood broken and forgotten,
shattered glass covered the floor
Seris was kneeling at the center
The moonlight fell over her
Her hand slowly moved to her left chest—
resting over her heart
Her voice came out in a soft murmur
"...This pain here…"
"I've never felt anything like it… before I met you."
"…Itsuki."
A faint smile touched her lips
She continued quietly,
"Yet… it's oddly beautiful."
"And comforting at the same time."
Her fingers tightened slightly against her chest
"I'm afraid of love."
"Because it can destroy you."
She paused
Her voice trembled just a little—
"Yet I can't help…"
"…but fall in love with you."
Silence filled the broken church
"It reached a point where…"
"I'm not afraid of loving you anymore."
Her eyes slowly softened
"…I'm afraid of losing you."
"For the first time since I was a child…"
"I'm afraid of something I never feared before."
She closed her eyes
_"…Emptiness."_
A tear slipped down her cheek
"Because after meeting you…"
"I never felt empty."
"You always gave me warmth."
Her voice dropped into a whisper—
"The cold… is all I've ever known."
Her hand trembled slightly
"And now…"
"I'm afraid of going back to it."
Itsuki was a little far from her he was standing beside the door
His hair was fallen over his eyes hiding it
He walked towards her
The moonlight fell all over the place
The broken pieces that was all over the place shinned in the moonlight
The place glowed
The sound of his footsteps echoed softly through the empty church
She Heard the footsteps
But she didn't flinched nor she was aware like she used to be
Because she knows who it is
_"It's her weakness"_
itsuki kneeled infront of her and softly lifted her face
Their eyes locked with eachother
Itsuki:
"…Seris
His calm beautiful voice melted her eyes and heart
Itsuki:
You're wrong
Seris asked softly
..... "what?"
Itsuki's golden eyes softened
"You're not going back to the cold."
He leaned closer—
Just enough for his forehead to touch hers
"Because I'm not letting you."
"As long as i breath"
Her breath caught
He took her hand and put it to his cheek
His eyes were filled with yearning
He hold her hand tighter
_ My love_ ...
"If the world tries break or hurt you…"
"I'll destroy it to shreds."
"Life with me won't be easy"
"I Iive in darkness"
"My hands have been filled with bloods"
"You know me and the life I live"
"Life with me will be like"
" Life between life and death "
"But i will promise you"
"I will protect you and love you"
"I want to live with you"
_" I want you seris"_
_Will you love me despite everything _
_Will you marry me _?
Seris eyes sparkled
Seris :
Do i deserve the love you give me do i deserve the life you are giving me
Itsuki:
You deserve everything that is beautiful
Seris broke into tears
Itsuki wiped her tears and kissed her forehead
She smiled softly her face was red
He took out a beautiful ring
Itsuki:
Will you marry me seris?
He asked while smiling beautifully
Seris chuckled and said
_"I would rather die than live without you"_
She offered her hand
He took her hand and kissed it
She was melting hard
He put the ring on her ring finger
