Hector managed to emit a final nervous laugh before swallowing inaudibly before taking one final intake of air. The ambience of the moment just didn't seem right, but if he didn't do it now, then all the hours of courage would've gone to waste. He relaxed his shoulders a bit, and slowly bended down, placing his kneecap firmly against the ground. The position was a bit uncomfortable as he tried to keep a firm, straight up stance as he faced her. The power held within her eyes almost detoured him instantly, but before he could stop himself, he proceeded forward.
" So uh.....Mae, Makero. The last several months up until recently have been torture.....Only being able to be with you at night, in the facade of discreetness that the twilight radiance brought. Now though...it has all changed. We are no longer hiding ourselves, or our bond from anyone. This should’ve been right from the start, but the ordeals we have have gone through I feel, have caused this bond to become what it is. Everyday I feel more it’s draw, the toll of the implications it brings, and the knowledge and wisdom to persist through, to do what I’m doing now. "
He scooted forward along his knee, snatching her hand as his pulse began to accelerate.
" Everything has changed, these months of unknowns, these times of useless battles, these tribulations. I have always held one thing with me.....your unconditional love. My attention span...wavers easily"
Yet another nervous laugh managed to slip from his lips.
" Yet....theres something about you....When I was younger, and corrupted by my own power. I never stopped to think about the true repercussions, and bliss of love, and thus, made mistakes, many. I....don't want to do that anymore. You are not a mistake, you are my blessing. I should've realized all this sooner, and I'll never forgive myself for not. There is only love prevalent in those eyes of yours, only true benevolence to me, and the assurance that everything is going to be alright in the face of all adversity. Your words have tamed my soul many times, your touch coarsed my physicality in it's entirety. Never will I taste the courage you have known, but.....maybe you can share it with me. There are many reasons why I shouldn’t be given the honor, to raise my head and taste such courage. But isn’t this what love is about? Regardless of all the doubts, and indecision someone may have, there is that certain dormant feeling….that overrides everything and gives you clear sight of the One."
He looked at both sides of his palms, cursing his unpreparedness.
" I don't have much to offer....but myself. Marry me."
