If this was a Movie: Not a Simple Hetalia Fanfiction

Chapter 18 : All I Ask of You

24th September 2018

It's a clear and peaceful night and the full moon was high upon the sky. I was sitting on the rooftop, appreciating the moonlight, while Francis was beside me.

Under the moonlight, there were only us. We were cuddling together on the rooftop, only us, no others. There were no mistresses, nor other men around, just us.

I asked, "Francis... is the moon beautiful?"

He said, "oui, but there is something more beautiful... something around us."

"You?" I chuckled a bit and looked at him. He looked at me and said, "no. That's you."

I laughed a bit and muttered, "ha, I've already known what you are going to say."

I knew he was going to kiss me if I blushed when hearing his words. Now, he was looking at me with no plans in his mind. I kissed his cheek softly and whispered, " ' think you need a kiss."

Francis looked at me, then giggled a bit, said, "nice kiss ma chérie."

My cheeks heated up a bit, staring at him. He pressed my lips with his, gently and softly, then pulled away and looked into my eyes.

"Tu es beau, ma chérie."

"So do you, mon cœur."

The blonde was looking at the brunette lovingly, their lips were only an inch apart. He leaned a bit closer, then our lips met again. This time, the kiss was long and passionate.

Time stood still, and I have you under the moonlight. There was no stalkers or paparazzi around, nor stars peeping us through the night sky.

The night was clear, and our lips were dancing under the moon.

Finally, I need a grasp for air, so I pulled away from him slightly, slowly. He was smiling at me; my eyes were looking at his.

"I promise, I'll never run around and desert you." Francis whispered, "you're the moon, you're the stars, you're everything to me; I'll never let go."

"Really?" I asked, "will you break it?"

"No, I swear to the moon and the stars, that I would never leave you." He held me close and I spoke softly.

"Francis? I have something to tell you."

Then I started to sing.

"Say you'll love me every waking moment, turn my head with talk of summertime. Say you need me with you, now and always. Promise me, that all you say is true. That's all I ask for you."

He held my hand and sang.

"let me be your shelter, let me be your light. We're bonded, no one can break us. There's nothing for you to fear of."

I replied.

"All I want is together, our chain will never break. And you will be beside me, filling me with your love."

He replied.

"Then say you share me with one love, one lifetime. Let me take you to our paradise. Say you need me with you, here beside you. Anywhere you go, let me go too."

Francis then kneeled down and said, "Cara, that's all I ask of you."

I lift him up and replied, "say you share with me one love, one lifetime. Say the word, then I'll follow you."

He said, "share each day with me each night, each morning."

I whispered, "say you love me."

He pulled me towards him and said, "you know I do."

We sang together, "love me, that's all I ask of you."

Our lips collided once again. It was sweet and tender.

"I've never thought that you have a sweet voice, ma chérie~" Francis smiled, then sang, "anywhere you go, let me go too."

"Love me, that's all I ask of you..."

I glanced at him, with a smile on my face. He was holding me close, as he pulled out a rose from nowhere.

"Ingrid, I also have something to tell you."

I took the rose and smiled. Suddenly, he back away a bit and kneeled down.

"Ingrid, it has been a year since we started dating... and..."

"And what?" I was sceptical about what he would going to say next.

"I feel like... I'll shelter you, protect you, and love you forever..."

I looked at him and paid attention to his speech carefully.

"T-That feeling from me is real, ma chérie, and I would like to be with you forever. I know it might be too fast for us but..."

Then Francis pulled out a ring and asked, "Cara Chan, will you marry me?"

I stared at the diamond ring for a second, then gazed at him. His eyes were sparkling and telling me that he really wanted me to be his. Nevertheless, that was too fast for me, maybe?

Oh lord tell me what should I do...

I looked away and thought for a while, then gazed back at him. He was still kneeling with one knee.

'So... what should I speak? Should I say yes or no? Or just leave this on hold?' My heart was still tangling between the two options.

For me, it was rather hard to decide. Firstly, I was too young. I am just 17, a year behind the legal wedding age. Secondly, I am not really ready to settle down to be a wife... but would I stop working when I got married?

To be honest, it was rather... difficult to pick the option. However, after a moment of thinking, I had decided.

"Yes!" He got up and kissed my lips passionately. This kiss was longer than usual, and it's unforgettable.

This must be the best night, ever in my life.
