Promise of a Lifetime
"Elsword!"
"Stay back!"
"Huh..?"
"I'm fine... I promise I'll protect you... Even... If it costs my life..."
Aisha clutched the red pendant in her hand and closed her eyes. Tears slipped down her face as she put her understanding aside. It was like this all the time. During a mission, Elsword would always be the one to protect her as she stayed behind weak, and useless. Through every pain he would get, she would just sit back, protected like a selfish person. It was hurtful, how he wouldn't rely on her even when he needed it most. She fell to her knees, feeling broken as she sung to help the tears go away. It was the same this time, Elsword got hurt all from her foolish actions. That's when she remembered his speech.
"I promise, I'll protect you... Even if... It costs my life... I don't want you be to hurt, or worried about me... Just... Please smile... Never lose that light you always radiate... Please..."
She held on to the last faint hint of hope, comforted to know he always there, to hear her every prayer. This was our Promise of a Lifetime.The only thing she could do right now was smile, take away his concerns. Wiping away her tears, the mage took a gulp of air, silently opening the door. On the white bed-sheet laid the knight, a bandage around his head, his eyes dull. Scars and cuts were on his arms. The moment her footsteps echoed in to his head, Elsword turned to look at Aisha. A broad and radiant smile lit up his face as his eyes shined once more. The mage walked over to the bedside quietly.
"Elsword..." Aisha reached a hand out and stroked his cheek, more tears slipping down her face yet her smile still there.
The knight raised his hand and held the hand near his cheek, using his other hand to wipe away the tears.
"Smile... Always smile... Okay...?" Elsword said softly, smiling as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her forward.
The mage's tears came out faster but the smile still brightened her features as she buried her head in to his chest. She listened to his heartbeat, taking in his warmth and comfort.
"I can fight to you know... Please... Don't always take the burden for yourself..." Her smile tilted down in to a line as she clutched on to his shirt.
The knight glanced down at the mage, eyes wide. He sighed and tightened his hold, nuzzling his nose in to her head.
"You know... I'm already comforted as long as your always there... So don't make me lose my Promise of a Lifetime to you..."
Aisha pulled her head up and glared at him through blurry tears. Elsword kissed her forehead and placed his forehead against hers, staring in to her amethyst eyes. Aisha softened her face at the action, slowly giving in.
"Fine... But... Be careful... Okay...?" She closed her eyes, her tears dropping down on to Elsword's cheek.
"Of course." Elsword chuckled, pressing his lips against her soft one for a simply loving kiss.
My promise of a lifetime, is to always be there for you and to always smile...
My promise of a lifetime, is to always protect you, and allow your radiance to shine brightly...
