"Ra Natha, would you be my eternal?"
How could a single line sound so beautiful?
There were times in his life, when Natha felt like time had stopped;
The first time he embraced Valen.
The first time he realized it was Valen.
The first time he kissed Valen.
The first time he made love to Valen.
The time he saw Valen running in the field of snow.
And the time Valen asked for his life and his time, bathed in the glow of sunset.
Time had stopped; stopped so he could see everything in clarity, sense everything in minute details. The bright, captivating green eyes that hide nothing; the lovely lips delivering beautiful words; the warm glow of the twilight, and the fragrant scent of never-ending spring.
At that time, as everything felt beautiful and perfect, Natha came to understand his teacher's decision to preserve a part of this world.
He wanted to preserve this moment.
"Yes,"
