"Ryuuzaki, just stop." I knew I didn't have the ability to hurt him any longer. "Ryuuzaki... those promises... I guess that's just what you call forbidden love."
==============
As I listened to Light stressed over some wedding details on the phone, I laid on his bed, day dreaming about the past, a few years ago.
.... "I love you too."
"I love you
Ryuuzaki Lawliet."
"Why are you
sad?" I looked up from the flower that I had picked and saw
Lawliet standing beside me. "Nothing." Tears started
whelming in my eyes as I thought about what I was here for. The
reason as to why I was crying now. When Lawliet sat down beside me, I
slid a couple of inches away, the max the wooden bench would allow. I
felt his hurt expression as he watched me retreat. "Did I do
something?" I didn't reply. "I did, didn't I?" I shook
my head. "Meyumi, why are you sad?" "Because..."
He stared at me, confused as I refused to tell him. "Because
what?" he urged. "Because... I'm never gonna get
married." I declared. He stared at me bewildered, his eyes
filled wih confusion. "Why?" "Because..
Lawliet-kun will never marry me." I looked at him straight in
his eyes. Was there a use in hiding it now? But when my tears started
streaming, I turned away. I heard a thud beside me and turned around
to see what happened. Lawliet was on the floor clutching his stomach
in endless laughter. "This isn't funny!" I
protested, my cheesk flsuhed red. He stopped laughing and propped
onto one knee. I glared at him in frustration, "I said I wasn't
joking!" "I never said I was joking either." he
added. I stared at him in awe. "Meyumi Ren, I promise I
will love you you marry me?" "Yes."
He took my hand in his. "A promise is a promise." "Forever."
