A/N: Trying to fit in the 'Forever and a Day' concept with my favorite couple and desperate for some serious writing, this piece came into being.
This is a direct companion to 'His Witch'.

"How long?"
-
-
-
That was what he asked.
-
-
-
-
-
"How long should I stay?"
-
-
That was what she heard.
-
-
-
-
-
-
"Why should you?"
-
-
-
-
She asked back.
-
-
-
-
-
"Because that was my promise."
-
-
-
-
His answer. Straight. Too fast.
So she did not believe.
-
-
-
"Will I have to wait for death?"
-
-
-
-
-
If she answers that, will he bear it?
But she knows that he knew the answer.
So she wouldn't reply.
-
-
-
-
"Should I not? Tell me. I wouldn't."
-
-
-
-
-
And those violet eyes were honest.
For someone who lies so much, she saw as much honesty.
If not more.
-
-
-
But her ageless golden eyes couldn't bear it.
-
-
-
-
It's impossible for him, anyway.
-
-
-
-
-
-
"Shut up."
-
-
-
She said that.
-
-
She meant it.
-
-
But he asked again.
-
-
-
-
-
"How long should I stay?"
-
-
-
His voice did not falter.
-
-
As she feared.
-
-
-
He wasn't afraid of the answer.
-
-
-
-
-
-
"Forever."
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Her heart was in grief when she said so.
-
-
-
Immortality was a curse.
-
-
But his eyes did not waver.
-
-
-
So she challenged him.
-
-
-
"Will you stay?"
-
-
-
-
Because she wanted him to.
-
-
-
But it was a curse.
-
-
-
He won't bear it.
-
-
-
Because he's selfish.
-
All humans are.
-
She knew that.
-
-
-
-
But still...
-
-
-
-
-
-
"Yes."
-
-
-
-
He said that word.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
"Forever,"
-
-
-
And he did not hesitate.
-
-
-
-
"...and a day."
-
-
-
-
-
But she won't believe.
She won't believe.
She shouldn't.
-
-
-
-
"Liar."
-
-
-
Even though she wanted to.
-
-
-
But still...
-
-
She looked at those unwavering orbs...
-
-
-
And there was no uncertainty.
-
-
-
And he said...
-
-
-
"I meant it."
-
-
-
And she closed her eyes.
-
Because she might believe when she knew she shouldn't do so.
-
He wanted the curse.
-
Because of her.
-
-
He was insane.
-
-
-
So she decided check his sanity.
-
-
-
-
"Why would you stay?
-
-
-
And for once tonight...
-
-
-
-
-
He was sensible in the most senseless way.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
"Because I'm your warlock."
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
It was foolish.
-
-
-
-
She knew that.
-
-
But she believed, anyway.
-
-
-
-
-
Because he was not one to doubt his own will.
-
-
-
-
.FINIS.
A/N: 69 lines. One sentence each. A fetish of mine. I decided to try a serious outlook on their story because for once, I was feeling.. romantic.
It scared me to hell that I did write this - but damn... I liked it.
Tell me if you do, too! :D
Oh, and read 'His Witch' if you haven't yet - you're just totally obligated to do so if you liked this one.

Review?? (puppy eyes)
