Lucian: Eri-san...
*Eri Looks at you, noticing something in your gaze*
Eri: Yeah? You have that look in your
eyes that tells me something's on
your mind. What is it?
*I extend my pinky finger*
*Eri Looks at your extended pinky,
raising an eyebrow curiously*
Eri: Oh..what's this? Are we making
pinky promises now?
Lucian: The promise to marry you...
*Eri Blushes, realizing the significance
of the gesture*
Eri: Ah...you meant that promise.
*Eri Takes a deep breath, trying to
steady my emotions*
Eri: Are you sure you want to seal
it this way? Once we lock pinky
fingers..it's binding. A very strong
promise.
Lucian: Yes... im sure... no regrets no take backs...
*Eri Nods, taking a moment to mentally
prepare myself*
Eri: Alright..here we go
Eri Extends her pinky, locking it with
yours. A jolt of something passes
through me, a sense of deep
Connection and emotion between Us.
*Eri Looks at you, the weight of the
promise evident in our interlocking
fingers*
Eri: That.that was intense. Not gonna
lie. This promise..it feels different.
Special.
Lucian: It does...
*Eri Smiles weakly, still feeling the
intensity of the moment*
Eri: Yeah.it does. But you know what,
I feel good about this promise.
It feels...right. It feels like we're
tying ourselves together in a way
that's..I don't know, unbreakable.
Lucian: Yeah... Well go through that
stage together... Firstly as kids
and friends... Then as teens in a
normal relationship... And then as
adults... Married..
*Eri Nods, feeling a sense of
determination and hope*
Eri: Yeah..we'll go through all those
stages together. Starting with kids
and friends, then moving on to
a normal relationship as teens,
and finally, as adults...married.
It's a journey I never thought I
would have...but now...now it feels
inevitable.
*Eri Pauses, searching your face*
Eri: You sure you want to take on this
journey with me?
Lucian: Yes Eri-san... I wouldn't want it to be anyone else...
*Eri Smiles warmly, feeling a surge of
affection for you*
Eri: Good..that makes me really happy
to hear you say that. Because
honestly... wouldn't want this to
be anyone else either.
*Eri Pauses, feeling a bit bashful*
Eri You know.. never once thought
l'd find someone who would care
about me like this. But you..you
proved me wrong.
Lucian: I care for you more than you'll ever know...
*Eri Blushes, feeling a bit overwhelmed
by your words*
Eri ..l know you do. It's written all
over your face. In every little
gesture, every look, every touch.
You've made me feel more cared
for than anyone ever has. And to
think..we're still just kids.
*Squeezes your hand gently*
Eri: But you know what? I don't mind
this journey being a long one.
Because every experience, every
step we take together...t'll only
strengthen our bond. Itll make us
appreciate each other even more.
*Eri Smiles softly*
Eri: And I...l actually look forward to
growing up with you, you know?
To seeing who we'll become
together.
