Chapter 2: Perfection
I looked into his eyes. I wondered what he meant by loving me. He'd just gotten back from the Ginnungagap, and I was incredibly happy. I missed him so much, that I couldn't put it into words. I went up to him and said, "Emil, how are you doing? I mean it's been so long." Emil looked at me, and I looked back. He gave me his smile, my favorite smile in the entire world. "Marta?" I stood up straight. The way he said my name made my face turn red. I hoped that he hadn't noticed. I said with a nervous smile, "Yes, Emil?" I felt like jumping up and down, but I didn't want to embarrass myself. I expected Tenebrae to interrupt this moment, but I realized that he wasn't here. It was just me and him. Just me and him…what a pleasant thought. It was more than pleasant, it was perfect. Words couldn't describe it.
He said to me in his perfect voice, "Richter once told me that emotions aren't as powerful when put into words." I looked at him with a confused look, as if I didn't understand what he meant. But little did he know, I understood perfectly. But I wanted him to draw it out; after all, I loved it when he and I were romantic. "Emil, I don't quite understand." Emil laughed and said, "Well, I suppose it's more sensible to say that actions speak louder than words." I looked into his eyes, and found the comfort I needed in them. I smiled and said, "What actions are you referring to?" Emil looked at me and said, "I don't necessarily think that statement is completely correct. I think a mix of the two is effective too." I smiled at the thought. He looked into my eyes, and my face turned red again. He had his way of doing that, and I enjoyed it. He moved towards me and said, "I love you." He then put his lips up to mine, and I embraced the kiss. No matter how many times he kissed me, it never got old. His lips were soft, and his hands that embraced me were so warm.
"Marta?" I responded quickly, "Yes, my love?" He smiled instantly. I had to admit, I was surprised that he liked it when I called him that. He held my hand and said, "We need to go to Luin…I want to introduce my aunt and uncle to my girlfriend." My face turned to an even deeper shade of red and I repeated the words constantly through my head. "Your girlfriend? But we…" Emil smiled at me and said, "Oh..you don't want to be?" Emil was as dense as ever. "I do. I do so much!! It's just a shock!"
My Emil looked towards the ground and said, "I guess I'm not worthy of you." I took his face in my hands and said, "Cheer up. Take it like a man. If we don't hurry up towards Luin, then you won't ever be able to introduce me as your girlfriend!" I saw his face turn red, and I took his hand. Each day was getting better and better with my Emil. I loved him. He loved me. These moments. The moments I spent with him were not just great, they were perfection. I leaned against him and said, "Time to go to Luin!" He and I both smiled, and we began walking hand in hand.
