Crystal sighs softly. “You know what I am speaking of, do you not?”

[Jasper19]

He nods " marriage right? "

[Sharidi37495]

She yelps in surprise, turning cherry red. “Uh.. I meant telling each other that we love each other. We-.. we have not done that yet.”

[Jasper19]

He blushes " oh"

[Sharidi37495]

She blushes furiously. “Were you really thinking of marrying me?” she says very softly, astonished.

[Jasper19]

He nods" yeah because I love you "

[Sharidi37495]

She swallows, suddenly overcome with guilt. ’Well this mission has certainly taken a detour.’ “Excuse me,” she says quietly, getting up and feeling her way to the bathroom.

[Jasper19]

He nods

[Sharidi37495]

She sits in the bathroom, turning the sink on to hide the quiet sounds of her crying.

[Jasper19]

He sighs 'did I mess up ' he thinks

[Sharidi37495]

She loves him, but her mission. And if she didn’t carry it out.. she takes a shuddering breath, not wanting to think about the consequences.

[Jasper19]

He sighs and gets underneath the blankets

[Sharidi37495]

She sighs and washes her face, rubbing away the tears. She comes back to him and crawls under the covers with him with a small yawn.

[Jasper19]

He smiles back " how are you ? "

[Sharidi37495]

“Tired,” she closes her eyes and rests her head on his chest. She’s soon asleep.

[Jasper19]

He nods and after a couple minutes he also falls asleep

[Sharidi37495]

She has fitful dreams of betrayal and fusing, marriage and heartache.

[Jasper19]

He sleeps peacefully

[Sharidi37495]

She wakes, sweat rolling down her back such as tears are on her face. She pants, trying to stay quiet.

[Jasper19]

He stirs but doesn't wake wrapping his arms around her in his sleep
