"What makes you think that you can help me?" asked a girl with two shades of purple eyes.
"Nothing but a promise I made." replied a man with two shades of red eyes.
Turning around the girl asks, more like demands, "And what was this promise?"
The guy just looks at her, before walking up to her and putting a hand on her shoulder. "To always be there for you when you need me, especially in times of doubt and pain."
She took his hand off of her shoulder, "You may think that, but how can you possibly-"
She was silenced as the man kissed her. The girls eyes went wide in surprise as she blushed deeply. After a couple minutes of kissing, the guy pulled away and stared lovingly at the girl.
It wasn't long until he said, "I love you Ria, and I always will."
Ria, still surprised about the kiss, took a moment to think about what he had said to her. When she was done thinking, she told him, "... I ... I love you too, Red."
The young couple smiled lovingly at one another, both of them where happy that they had said what they wanted to say to each other for a long time. They stood there in each other's arms, enjoying the cool breeze of the wind. It was perfect, until Ria's face went from happy to upset.
"Red?"
"Yes Ria."
"... Can you promise me something?"
"... What is it?"
Ria took a deep breath before saying, "Can you promise to have faith in me, no matter if we fight or not and... can you also promise me that you won't abandon me?," Ria rests her head on his shoulder, she whispers, "... I don't want to be alone again."
"Ria," upon hearing her name, she looks up at Red while he tells her, "I can promise you that I won't loose faith in you, because I never have and never will loose faith in you, no matter if we fight or not. I can also promise you that you will never have to be alone again or abandoned, but there will be times when I can't be there for you."
Ria smiled, yeah she knew that Red couldn't always be there for her, but the fact that he promised everything else, was good enough for her.
