Everlasting Love
Snow Villiers was sure he had never loved another woman as much as he loved the one standing in front of him. Her name was Serah. Serah Farron. She was a short little thing, with kind and gentle light blue eyes, and light, wavy pink hair that was pulled into a ponytail on the side of her head. She looked up at him, a small smile playing across her soft pink lips, as a cool ocean breeze blew through the town, causing the long beige trench coat Snow always wore to rustle softly by his feet. The two of them were standing on a pier that jutted out a couple feet into the ocean, in their hometown of Bodhum.
It was gorgeous where they lived; a quiet seaside town, with a relatively small population. Snow was the leader of an organization called NORA, a group consisted of him and 4 of his friends, that taught the townspeople to live off the land and to fend for themselves. He was a tall man, with blonde hair down to his chin, the top half of which was hidden under a black beanie. He had blue eyes that seemed to constantly be smiling, a wide mouth that was perfectly suited for laughing, and blonde stubble on a strong chin. Normally Snow was a little bit of a loudmouth, but with Serah he was gentle, sweet and caring. Maybe a little bit overprotective. But who could blame him? She was his, the light of his life and the very meaning of his existence. He would do anything for her, if it meant seeing her smile.
And so he placed one of his black glove clad hands on her shoulder and pulled her close to his side, resting his blonde head on top of her pink one as they both looked out over the ocean. Serah sighed contentedly. She was so glad to have him in her life. Her older sister, Lightning, was often away at work, and so it was always too quiet and overwhelmingly lonely in that house by herself. Their parents had died while they were still young, leaving them to fend for themselves. And so the two sisters had grown up without their parents to guide them. Lightning joined the Army when she had turned of age, so she would be able to support both herself and Serah. Serah became a teacher a their local elementary school. She had a small class, consisting of about ten boys and girls, but they adored her, and she adored them.
Snow placed a finger under Serah's chin, tilting her face up and placing a soft kiss on those pink lips of hers, before pulling back and staring seriously into her eyes for a moment. She tilted her head to the side, staring back at him curiously. It was rare that he ever looked serious like this. "Snow?" she asked softly, questioningly. He stared at her a moment longer, then pulled something out of his pocket, holding it out in front of her. It was a necklace, in the shape of Cocoon, their home planet, with a ring resting on top of it. "I got us something the other day," he said with a crooked smile. "I…don't know much about jewelry," he admitted as he fastened the clasp around her neck. "But, I hope you like it." Serah put a hand up to her neck, touching the necklace gently with her fingertips, as Snow took a step back, clearing his throat nervously.
"Serah," he began earnestly. "I want you to know that I will stand by you, no matter what happens. I'm yours. Forever. And so…. Serah. My one. My only." He knelt down before her on one knee, placing his right hand over the blue shirt he wore under his trench coat, right above his heart. "Will you marry me?" Serah stared at him for a second, shocked, her hands help clasped in front of her. She mouthed the word at first, then, finding her voice, blurted it out. "Yes!" she said happily. Snow looked up at her, a happy laugh bubbling in his throat, and he jumped up happily, shouting out to no one in particular, "She said yes!" He then grabbed his now fiancee in a fierce bear hug, spinning her around and around in a circle, both of them laughing happily. After a moment, he set her down, then rested his forehead against hers. He grabbed one of her small hands in his own, much larger hand, and held it to his heart. "I swear, I'll make you happy." He vowed. "Always, and forever."
