"Don't let them get you until I return."
He would always say those words when he went on ahead for a sneak attack. And every time he said them, she would always answer silently, I won't, I promise.
And every time he returned after mission accomplished to find the ship in tact, just the way he'd left it, he would smile, his eyes saying I knew you'd be all right.
It was a mutual agreement, though one made almost subconsciously. She would always fend them off, not once failing to keep to the agreement. And he too, kept his word by returning with a victorious smile every time.
When it was almost over, he had reiterated his terms.
"I'll be right back, with victory in hand."
She nodded, believing that if they kept to their routine, everything would be fine. After all, he had always kept his word before, as long as she kept hers.
Come back, I'll wait for you.
Once again, she kept her terms, waiting patiently for his return.
But he didn't.
Just once, he'd failed to keep his word.
She had kept her end of the agreement until the very end, but he had broken his.

Word count: 200
AN: a double drabble this time, inspired by how Mwu always says those words before going out. I wanted to write something with an exact number of words, and believe me, it was harder than it looks...
