"I didn't know that you had a heart", Monica said, struggling to pull her hand out of his. "I already apologized. Why do you insist on being stubborn about everything?", Brant inquired. He pulled her to his chest and starred down at her, mesmerized by her beauty. Yes, she didn't have much in common with his childhood sweetheart. But he suddenly felt drawn to her nonetheless, especially now that he knew she hadn't been pretending all along. " I want to live in peace", she said, slowly allowing herself to get lost in his eyes. "Then let's do that. Start over, and live in peace", he said in strange desperation. At this point, he would do anything to be with her.

" I'm not like everyone else", He said to her, pushing both her hands off his helmet. It wasn't the first time she tried knowing his identity. Surely, it wouldn't be the last. "i know that. And I'm not asking you to change", She replied reaching for the helmet again. He couldn't understand her obsession with him. from the day he had saved her till now, she never for once doubted his golden heart. and her adamance made his surety waver everytime. "I'm evil. I have no fear of death, pain and i am emotionless. You have no chance with me", He insisted, stepping away from her. He knew how hurtful his words sounded, but he made no move to retrieve them. But within her beautiful brown eyes glistened hope like never before. "then I'd rather die trying with you than to be with anyone else", she replied walking to him once again. This time, he made no effort to move away from her touch. He let her take off his mask, revealing whom he truly was. "you have the most beautiful eyes... Loco", she whimpered, starring into those Hazel-blue eyes, mesmerized by his unparalleled beauty. Loco starred back at her. He didn't notice time fly by, and only wished to be here, with his beloved.
