Forget-me-not

It was dusk as he sat upon the ring overlooking the home he had made over the years. It was surrounded by different plants, and flowers that he'd found during his adventures. The foliage that fanned out across the land gave it a lively, and colorful atmosphere even going into the night. Next to him was the iconic hat he was known for, even if only few knew where it came from. The wind gently combing his gleaming blonde hair, he was waiting for the love of his life. The soft beating of wings were heard, followed closely by the crunch of leaves.

"Sorry I'm late, my angel. Work went longer than planned." a soothing feminine voice called out.

"Do not fret, my goddess. I would wait lifetimes, eternities even, just to see you again." The man states his voice crisp in the night air.

The man, now standing, kisses the woman. The kiss was quick, filled with love and pure happiness. As they pull away from each other, the man reaches into his cloak and as he withdraws his arm, he presents a bouquet of Asters*, Calla lilies*, pink and red Camellias*, and forget-me-nots*.

"Phil, my sweet angel, they're absolutely Beautiful," The woman smiles lovingly, and chirps. "Though I doubt that I'll ever forget you, or the love you've shown me."

The man, now named Phil, smiled almost bittersweetly.

"I know Kristin," Phil looks down sadly. "But I can't help it. Every time I think about the future I want to have with you, I'm constantly reminded about my mortality. That one day I'll die, and my memory will fade. You are the goddess of death and I, the clumsy mortal man who falls in love with you day in and day out."

Both Kristin and Phil were in tears. Phil isn't scared of dying, he welcomed it. He found it hard to fear a big part of his heart's* life, so he found peace in passing. Kristin embraced Phil tightly, Her wings closing around them almost like a shield, protecting them from unwanted eyes.

"Phil?" She started grabbing his attention. "If I could give you a chance to stay by my side forever. Would you take it?"

With no hesitation and looking into her eyes Phil said, "Yes. I would follow you like the sun does the moon. As long as I can be with you, I'll be happy."

Kristin smiles vibrantly and asks one final question, "Will you be my Angel of Death?"
