There was a wide smile on Sin's face. I was proud of the fact that I had created that. "Do we really need to go back?" he complained, throwing himself on top of me. I laughed and shrugged him off as the island of Sindria came closer.

"I said we should head back, not that this was over," I assured him. I slowed down as we approached to roof of the palace, I lowered us down, and I stood up, Sin hesitantly following my lead. I approached the blanket, lighting the candles with magic as we approached. I glanced back at Sin to see an expression of slight disbelief on his face. I held my hand out to him which he kindly took and I led him the last few steps to the rooftop picnic.

I sat down first, and he sat down next to me, pulling me into his side. I was hungry from the fact I hadn't eaten all day, so reached out for to most appatising plate there was. Fruit tarts, that I spent way too much time making. Sin had taken it upon himself to pour us some wine. "Couldn't wait could you?" he asked in a laugh as he noticed my puffy cheeks full of food.

I quickly choked it down so I could reaspond. "I'm starving," I complained, "I haven't eaten at all today, and the hours I spent making all of this didn't help." I chopped down another bite.

"You made all this?" he asked in astonishment. It was like he forgot at nine point in his life I cooked every meal he ate.

"Yeah," I answered timidly, taking a sip of my chalice if wine. A tan hand came and pushed the cup away from my mouth. Glad in blue met in a comforting gaze.

"Have I ever told you I love you? " he whispered under his breath. I felt both his hands find their home on my hips.

"Not recently, but I know," I told him with a hunt if playful arrogance in my voice. A smiling smirk played on our lips as we drew closer. My moved my arms up to be around his neck, so his hands were the only thing keeping me up right. I was anxiously waiting for our lips to connect like they had so many years before.

They never did, and he just pulled away. I silently sighed in disappointment. I pulled my knees up to my face and pouted into them. "So where did you go?" he asked me, not noticing my pouting.

"I was capturing a dungeon with Hasim and Jamiya," I answered nonchalantly. I watched as Sin choked on the pastry he took a bite out of. "It's not like it's the first one. I've done it with Yukino, Shakir, Serin, Kouei, and Ivan. This one was actually the easiest." I curled my hands around my cup, taking another sip. I didn't get it, he gives so much attention to any woman, but when it comes to me I'm like the plague.

Well our last kiss I ingbitiated and I'm a feminist, why do I need to wait for him to make a move. But I don't want to force him to do anything. But he says he loves me, so what's so wrong about kissing. Awe screw it, I want to. "Hey Sin," I said, forcing my voice through the lump in my throat. He turned his attention to me.

I reached over grabbed him around the neck and pulled him down to my height. I forced our lips together, it wasn't that great and extremely forced. It was my second kiss with a guy, I didn't know what I was doing. Luckily Sin did, and after the initial shock he took over. He pulled my onto his lap, so we weren't both sitting in awkward positions. His arms wrapped around me, pulling me as close as we could get. His lips encased mine, as I mimicked his actions.

He was the one to pull away. We just took a moment to process what just happened. I thought he didn't like it, but he kissed back. Maybe he is more in love with the idea if me than actually me. I mean, no one really knows what to expect with me. I started climbing off his lap, when he pulled me tight once again. "Don't go," he begged into my hair.

It all made sense now. The last time we had any kind of intimacy I left, for years. And even when he originally confessed I left with no response. I broke his heart time and time again. I traumatized him. I was an idiot for not realizing this. My grip on him grew tighter and I buried my face into his chest. "I'm not going anywhere," I told him. My right hand slid down into my pocket, feeling the ring I had placed in there earlier. I thought it was a stupid idea, but I think we need a little stupid right now.

"Hey," I said in a lighter tone, and rolling off his lap so I sat next to him. I looked him in the eyes to see a few tears rolling down his face. I gasped and reached up, cupping his cheeks. "I'm not gonna leave again. I was an idiot for doing it back then. I love you, and I don't want to part from you ever again." He closed his eyes, enjoying my touch and closeness. "I'm sorry for making you wait this long. It wasted so much time we could have had. I don't want to waste any more time..."

I slipped one of my hands into my pocket pulling out the ring, and holding it in front of his face. "So wanna get married? Can you at least try to picture it, we've left that place far behind, where we avoid war. We have a quaint kingdom, which you worked hard for. It's just us, and our friends, and some kids aren't out of the question." He snickered, recognizing the monolog he said before I left. He opened his eyes, which widened in sight of his mother's ring in my hand.

"Is this...?" he couldn't even get out the full sentence. He gently took the ring from my hands, as if it were the most precious thing in the world.

"Yeah," I said in a meloncholy tone. "She gave it to me a week or so before she died." He snapped up to look at me, seeing the regretful smile on my face. "I shouldn't have left then either... All it seems I do is leave you. But I don't want to anymore, that's why I..." I couldn't choke out rest of the words.

Sin laughed, seeing my flustered face. "Ady," he pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead. "No matter how much I love the gesture. I need to say no. But maybe in a couple months I can see if you still want to."

"So more time?"I clarified with a slight laugh.

" Yeah, " he agreed," But I'm gonna hold onto this for the mean time." I smiled and leaned I to his shoulder, just enjoying being there with him.
