It took trust for them to get here and would take much more past this point.
They truly loved each other, loved each other enough to forgive their faults, and work together through challenges.
They loved each other past every bend of the road and every bump.
Roderich saw Vash's insecurities and his fears splashed on a face that tried to hide such thoughts and feelings with eyes that gave too much away once one was willing to look for it.
The Austrian did not regret where his hands laid nor his own growth above and beyond his past.
He had Vash to worry about and defend; he had Vash to live beside.
The Swiss man also had Roderich to concern himself with, to memorize, and to support.
Vash had never known of such a powerful love nor such a difficult experience, because there were moments where they both felt it to be hopeless and wanted to give up.
They never did though.
Vash had never known of something where no matter what both individuals refused to give up or let things rest or fall apart.
He had never known someone that would put up with something so trying and never give up; Roderich had become someone who refused to back down when confronted with difficulties.
Vash had never known someone who had loved him so much especially amid difficulties.
Love may have difficulties, but they had each other to help guide them through such difficulties.
