Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: Hi guys! These are going to be kind of scattered from now on because my brain can't make up its mind on what to write. But hey, you get what you get. Sins of Love might be updated after this one, but I'm not quite sure where I'm going to go after this one.

KCL: Thank the cheese! I was already starting to miss your reviews, and I hadn't updated yet! I understand that you might not be able to make it every day, so I understand if you miss reviewing one. If there's anything wrong, it's alright to skip reviewing. I understand completely you have your life to run. :)

Prompt 48: Falling In Love Again

"It's funny," Alistair said one day. He and Kitty were sitting on their bench, Kitty resting her head on his chest. Her wheel chair sat off to the side of them, currently not in use. Kitty, slowly, had been regaining strength in her legs. She was able to, with help, move short distances. Her voice was getting better as well.

"What is?" Kitty asked him.

"After the kidnapping… I feel as though we've fallen in love again," Alistair said. "It sounds crazy, even if just a little… but I've realized that you are pretty much the one thing I cherish above all else. I almost lost you… and by doing so, I've grown to love you more than I ever have before."

Kitty cocked her head with a smirk. "I should almost die more often," she giggled. She noticed Alistair fiercely shook his head. Kitty gave him a soft smile. "Sorry, I was only joking," she said.

"You have a morbid sense of humor," Alistair said. The couple laughed at that and fell silent. "I find it curious how we haven't fallen apart yet. With this many problems, you would think we'd have broken up for one reason or another. But… every time something bad happens to us, we just seem to get stronger. Is that curious to you too, or is it just me?"

Kitty didn't answer for a moment. "I've loved you since before the curse of Wonderland started," Kitty said. "I waited two years to be with you again. I knew being in a relationship might have issues Alistair… just not this big of problems. But… every time something bad has happened, all it's made me see is how much I need you. You've never caused any of these hardships. It's mostly my fault."

"But you had reason," Alistair said. "Granted, a bad reason… but you felt alone, lost. You did hurt me when you…" Alistair stopped.

"Almost committed suicide?" Kitty finished. "It's ok to say Alistair. I did it. I have to live with the fact I almost threw away my life and I damaged you."

Alistair nodded. "You hurt me when you jumped," he said, "but I knew that you must have been hurting so much to even remotely consider it. Thing was, you turned to me when you needed help. I love you Kitty and I know you love me. I just think… almost losing you so many times has made me realize that I love you more than anything else."

Kitty nodded into his chest and was silent for a long time. When Alistair was about to say something else, Kitty said, "We should get married."

Alistair was stunned by this, and was about to say something and Kitty put a finger to his lips. "Not right now," Kitty said. "We're only sixteen Alistair. Let's just… promise each other. If we're still together by the time both of us turn eighteen… we should… get married."

Alistair looked at his girlfriend closely. "How sure about that are you?" he asked her.

Kitty giggled. "It's just the idea," Kitty said. "I'm not sure if we'll be together when we're eighteen… I don't know what people would think if we got married… but Alistair, I know I love you enough to marry you. Maybe it's just my teenage hormones… but if you asked, I would say yes. Just… think about it for the next two years, ok? For me?"

Alistair smiled down at his girlfriend and kissed her. "For you, anything," he said to her. Kitty smiled and snuggled closer to him, closing her eyes. Alistair looked up and smiled. She'd say yes if I asked, huh? He thought to himself.

BN: *a giant baby comes into the room and cries giant baby tears then leaves* Thanks Babybert! Anyway, this chapter was to show the amount of love between this couple and entertain the notion of marriage in the far future. I just wanted to get some fangirl screams from that proposal (not the proposal). I truly think that these two have gone through a lot, and I'm personally sorry, but it really is great to see the love these two share, even though the hardships. It seriously brings tears to my eyes to see how amazing these two have turned out. KCL, be proud of yourself for making these two bloom. Because really… they deserve it.
