Prompts: happy endings ; pillow ; last kisses
"I need to know that it's possible that two people can stay happy together forever"
- Juno
She hated how boys would leave, leave after sometime.
It had happened with her before, of course it had. Boys would come into her life, last for sometime, and leave. Never would they stay.
So that was what she thought when Lorcan entered her life: they'd be for a while, and then after a month or so, they'd break apart.
She hated the lot: last kisses, goodbyes, promises that faded with time, pillows wet from heavy crying…the list went on.
So she spoke out one day.
"Wait, Lorcan," she said, just as he was bending down to kiss her.
"Is something wrong, Lils?"
"Lorcan, I just- I just want to be sure that what is going on between us isn't just some games of yours."
"I love you, Lils, what could you want, more?"
"That's what every one of you says. Lorcan, I need to know that it's possible that two people can stay happy together forever."
"Lily, have you ever looked at your own family? Your family is filled with happily ever afters, don't you know that? Just look at your parents. They got their 'forever', didn't they?"
She nodded.
And that was how Lily slowly began to believe in love.
