It was exactly 11:40 PM and I was still reading books about strategy and magic. Studying can be so boring, but it is necessary. It was also very lonely since everyone was probably asleep already. A few minutes later, Henry appeared. "So you're still awake huh? Hehehe... Thought so, you neeeeever sleep early." "Yeah, I was finishing one of the strategy books I borrowed from Chrom." "Aw you can finish it some other day! I want to take you somewhere!" He grabbed my hand and took me to the forest. It was very creepy at night, but he didn't seem to mind. After a long walk, we finally arrived at our destination. It was a beautiful place illuminated by the moon. It had a great view as well. We sat down next to each other, observing the ocean's calm waves. "Aah the moon looks amazing at midnight, don't you think?" He said gazing at the moon. "Yes, indeed." He looked at me with his light purple eyes, eyes that shined with the moon's bright light. "I'd like to thank you... For making me happy here... So it was really you who summoned me here?" "Yep! Cool right?" "Yes... I'm honestly glad that I'm not in my world. It's so much better here, I feel alive. But tell me, what happens with the real 'me'?" "Time stops when someone comes to our world, it's like everyone is simply freezed. And if you die here, everything returns to normal, you return to your world, but your memories do not fade." "Ah I see... I don't want to die here then..." "Nope, you're not going to die here, I'll protect you until I die! Oh! When do you think that will be?"
"Not soon. I want to have a beautiful future here with you, I want Morgan to grow up with a family, when the present one is born. Anyway..." I laid my head on his shoulder and smiled. "Do you see that? That's Carrion Isle, where the Shepherds found me for the first time." "Oh nice! I've heard of that place before. But what would happen if they never found you? Would you be here with me right now?" "Yep! It's fate remember? No wait, it's not fate at all! Robin once mentioned some bond thing!" "Ah yes... 'we're not pawns of some scripted fate. There's something between us all. Something that keeps us together... Like invisible ties... Connecting us.'" "Oooooh! Yes yes that! How do you know his exact words?" I laughed at how surprised he was. "Hehe, I guess everyone had their secrets, mister."
It was almost 1:00 AM and I was almost falling asleep when I heard crow noises. "H-Henry... Isn't it dangerous here at night?" "Nope! It's normally safe here, but if Risen try to kill you, I have my tome here so I can give them hell!" I smiled. A single smile means more than words. He got closer to my face until our noses touched, soon enough our lips touched as well. Since I'm not good with words, a kiss is perfect for me to express myself. To tell him how special he is, how grateful I am for everything he did to me...
We broke the kiss soon enough and I immediately laid my head on his chest.

'I love you to death.'
