Three Young Promises

Kyra POV

"Asta slow down Yuno can't keep up," I yelled out towards a sprinting Asta as I slowed down so that I was by a teary-eyed Yuno who had just tripped.

Bending down, I let out shushing noises as I lifted him up so that he was in front of me on his knees as well. Reaching up, I wiped away his tears before kissing both of his cheeks to soothe him faster. "It's okay Yuno, now C'mon! Sister and the others are waiting for us up the hill."

Yuno looked at me before looking up at Asta who had run back down to us. Nodding his head he started to stand up only to paused as Asta stretched out both of his hands for me and Yuno to grab.

Giggling, I grabbed his hand, already knowing Yuno did the same. As soon as he had both of our hands, Asta began to sprint up the hill, dragging the two of us behind. Looking over at Yuno, I met his eyes and flashed him a smile, eating a small one in return from the black haired boy.

When we finally made it up the hill, we were met with the sight of Sister Lily and a sleeping Nash and Recca. As soon as we settled down Sister Lily handed the of us some bread. Thanking her, I bit into the bread, or at least I tried to, the bread today was harder than usual.

I frowned when I realized what bread this was, it was most likely from the batch father and I made yesterday. I had accidentally added in too much yeast making the bread stiff, add that to fathers ability to make bread mysteriously turn hard, it's not a good combination.

I heard Yuno say that the bread was too hard causing guilt to fill my stomach. I was about to apologize but was cut off my Asta's shouts of "So good!" as he crunched away on the bread that was harder than marble.

I cringed at the sound of his teeth clinking against the stone like bread. "Please stop," I whispered out. Either he didn't hear me or he completely ignored my plea as he bit down harder. Pausing he looked over at SIster Lily, "Sister, it's really good. You cook so well, do you think you can cook for me like this when he get married?"

Sister didn't seem fazed by his words, instead, she said, "I didn't make this though, father and Krya did. Are you perhaps saying you want to marry father?"

Asta let out a loud gasp as he began to fuss about, "Why father? Why couldn't you ask if I would marry Krya? Wait!" He stopped fussing and sat up turning to me with sparkles in his eyes, "Krya, will you marry me then?"

I looked at him, shock was written on my face before it morphed into a closed eye smile, "Yep! Right after you grow taller than me I will!"

Once again he began to fuss about while Sister let out a small flow of giggles. "No fair! No fair!" I couldn't help but let out small giggles as well. Currently, I was taller than both Yuno and Asta since I hit my growth spurt early on. Right now I was three feet and five inches while Asta was three feet and Yuno was three feet two inches.

Growing tired of his whining, Sister raised her grimoire which made the grey-haired boy immediately shut up and sit up straight. SIghing, Yuno bought the attention to himself, "Asta, Sister is a woman of the cloth, there's no way she can marry you." This caused Asta to start complaining again.

"Then I'll just grow big and marry Krya-"

"No way!" Yuno huffed out, catching Asta and myself by surprise since he's usually so quiet, "Krya is gonna marry me, one day I'll make Krya my bride!" I heard Sister Lily let out a small laugh but it was practically drowned out under the sound of Asta's shouting.

Shushing Asta, I turned towards Yuno, "Yuno, there's no way I'll be the bride. Besides like Asta I won't marry you unless you meet the requirements." Yuno was silent as he stared at me exceptionally, waiting for his requirement. "While Asta must grow taller than me, you must grow stronger than me."
