Ari's POV

Today was- what's the word- weird, after I overheard Chief Garack tell Shirayuki that she is traveling to another town to retrieve supplies,  I volunteered to go with her. I wanted to go for two reasons: one, I have a few friends in Laxdo and two Brobi was going with Zen and the others to Fort Laxdo for his final trial period as an attendant. I don't enjoy Brobi being so far I always feel lonely even though I would have Ryuu and the chief here, I still worry about Brobi.

Honestly,  I really just want to prove myself.

I asked Chief Garack and she said that it would be okay for me to go.

I'm so excited! I have to tell Ryuu!!
I looked for him but he was nowhere to be found. I look in his office one more time and look around to see if he is hiding. I came up to his main desk and noticed something new. There was a curtain on the bottom of the desk. Maybe he's under there, I pulled the curtain and there he was!

He was asleep and I didn't want to wake him up and disturb him. As I walked away, I stepped on a loose floor and he stirred.
"Hnngggghhh.." he groaned
I froze, God Please let him go back to sleep I prayed. Apparently, God didn't hear me and instead woke up Ryuu.

Ryuu got out from under his little bed area and yawned. "Ari? Was there something you needed? You should've woken me up?" He said still half asleep.

"Its nothing Ryuu, I can wait until you are well rested."I assured him.
He denied and told me to just tell him what's on my mind.

"Well I wanted to let you know that I am finally allowed to go help do some official work as an apprentice court herbalist with Shirayuki! We are going to Laxdo in a few days to pick up some supplies. I wish you could come with me though then I could introduce you to my friends!" 

Third POV
As Ari said this Ryuu thought
'She's so lucky to have friends, I dont deserve her. I hope that she won't leave me behind like they did.'

"I wish that I could come with you to, Ari. But at least you will be able to learn how we do things in a familiar place." Ryuu says with a small smile.

Ari sighs but smiles. She walks to Ryuu while looking down trying to hide a blush. Unbeknownst to her Ryuu had the same blush. She goes up to Ryuu and gives him a really tight hug and hides her face in Ryuu's shoulder. It seemed humanely impossible but Ryuu's face turned as red as Shirayuki's hair.  Ryuu was so shocked that he couldn't even hug her back.

"I'll miss you Ryuu💖.~"Ari said with sadness, tightening the hug.

Ryuu snapped out of his shock and hugged her back, placing a hand on her head and her back. "I'll miss you to, Ari. I know that if anyone can do this you."

Ari pulled away and looked up at Ryuu still a but red, she smiled and nodded. "Thanks Ryuu, I will definitely do this for you!"

After they walked and talked a bit, they went their separate ways to sleep. And the next day Ari and Ryuu had to temporarily say farewell.

"I'll be back Ryuu!"Ari said as she hugged her best friend one last time.

"I know you will. Stay safe Ari." Ryuu said softly.

"Don't worry it's not easy to hurt me. Don't be sad or lonely without me Ryuu, okay?" She told him firmly.

Ryuu chuckled, "I mean, I'll try." He was lying because he would miss her so much. Ari would miss him to but she thought that he felt nothing more than friendship between them. Both felt things for the other, a bond stronger than friendship.

Obi tried not to interrupt the two's moments but he knew that be and Ari had to go. "Hey lovebirds!! Don't worry you guys will see each other again soon, Its not goodbye forever!! We gotta go Ari!!" Obi shouted which embarrassed the two almost teenagers.

Ari and Ryuu looked at each other one last time and both decided to have one LAST hug.
"I'll be back soon Ryuu." Ari whispered as she pulled away.

Ryuu looked at her retreating figure and said, "I will wait for you, Ari." They both walked away from each other and both made a promise to themselves,

I won't ever stop loving you...
