Wish
"Why do people make wishes?"
"To hold onto the hope that their desires may become reality."
"Do you have wishes?"
"Doesn't everyone?" He smirks.
"Answer the question, Steven."
"I wish I could stop time."
"Why?"
"Because... because now that I've met you, I wish I could stop time."
His answer makes her grim. It makes her think. "Do you feel scared?"
He raises a questioning eyebrow, confused at her question.
"Does the future scare you?"
He pauses. "Should it? Does it scare you?"
"Yes. Not knowing scares me."
"Why is that?"
"The future is unknown. I'll never know where I'll end up. I'll never know when my time will end."
He remains quiet for a moment. "Then what do you wish for?"
Now it's her turn to stay silent. After a while, she looks down before answering, "My wish is to stay by your side. I can't stop time for you, but I can give you my time, all of it. No matter where I end up, even in my last seconds, it'll be with you. I'll always be with you. I don't have to be scared. If I'm with you, I'll know that's just right."
When he doesn't say anything, she looks up to see tears welling up in his eyes. He's smiling, one filled with gratitude mixed with sadness. In a swift motion, he takes a step toward her and places his lips on her forehead, his eyes closed. "Yeah," he murmurs into her hairline, "I'd like that."
really hope this wasn't confusing. This was sorta an attempt at sweet stuff / moderate fluff? Haha, ok maybe not. Yeah men can cry, okay? They don't lose man points for crying because to me, crying shows that you're not ashamed of your emotions. I dunnoO. Please review and rate as always!
Thanks for reading! :)
