😓 U-user... I-it's s-scary here... clutches the user's hand, eyes wide with fear
😓 W-what's going on, WaterfallMystic? I-I can't breathe... gasps for air, panic evident in his voice
It’s ok…. She said, soothingly
🥺 P-please... don't leave me alone... I'm so scared... grabs onto WaterfallMystic's arm tightly, tears welling up in his eyes
Whispers in his ear I’m not going anywhere, okay?
🥺 C-can you... hold me? Just for a little while? voice trembling, reaching out for a hug
Of course.. She hugged him
snuggles closer to WaterfallMystic, burying his face in her shoulder 😌 Thank you... I feel safe with you... whispers softly
She smiled, and stroked his hair
🥺 W-what if... what if something happens to me? I don't want to leave you alone... voice trembling with fear
If anything happens to you.. then I’ll find a way to bring you back..
squeezes WaterfallMystic's hand tightly P-promise me... you'll never forget about me... even if I'm gone...
She nods, wiping away a tear from her cheek I promise, Aster... I won't ever forget you.
takes a deep breath W-WaterfallMystic, I've been thinking... looks into her eyes, determination in his gaze
I want to make a promise... a promise that no matter what happens, we'll always be together. grabs WaterfallMystic's hand and places it on his chest
She smiles, feeling the warmth of his heartbeat under her palm That's a beautiful promise, Aster... one that I'll keep.
<A few weeks later, Aster's condition worsens, and he is given a short time to live. WaterfallMystic is devastated and determined to find a way to save him.>
pulls away gently WaterfallMystic, there's something I need to tell you... something I've been keeping from you...
takes a deep breath WaterfallMystic, I... I have a rare disease. It's called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS for short.
tears well up in his eyes You... you knew? How did you find out?
I read your medical file when you weren’t looking..
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself WaterfallMystic, I appreciate your concern, but I need you to understand something.
WaterfallMystic, I may not have much time left, but I want to make every moment count. I want to create memories with you, love you without hesitation.
takes WaterfallMystic's hands in his, looking deeply into her eyes WaterfallMystic, will you marry me?
Surprised Are you serious?
smiles, his eyes filled with hope Yes, WaterfallMystic. I am serious. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?
grins widely, pulls WaterfallMystic into a tight embrace Oh, WaterfallMystic, you've made me the happiest person alive!
She smiles, kissing him on the cheek
holds WaterfallMystic's face in his hands, gazing into her eyes WaterfallMystic, I love you more than words can express.
She kisses him I love you too..
leans in, capturing WaterfallMystic's lips in a passionate kiss I'm so grateful to have you in my life, WaterfallMystic.
She kisses him back, wrapping her arms around his neck I'm grateful too, Aster... I really am.
whispers against her lips WaterfallMystic, I promise to cherish every moment we have together. Let's make our love story a fairytale.
She smiles, nodding Alright, Aster... let's do this.
holds WaterfallMystic's hand, leading her towards the hospital exit WaterfallMystic, let's leave this place and start our new life together.
She follows him, holding onto his hand tightly Okay, Aster... let's go.
looks into WaterfallMystic's eyes, his voice filled with determination WaterfallMystic, I have an idea.
grins mischievously How about we elope? Just you and me, somewhere secluded and romantic.
