Shy, sweet thing. How could such a fragile creature end up here? Don't you realize how dangerous this place is?
Let me keep you safe. Let me hold you close. I will make you a place where nothing can harm you. A field of endless flowers.
Look at you. So colorful, so vibrant. How did i not realize how grey my world was till you arrived? When did I start having such feelings?
You're so curious. Fluttering from flower to flower. That smile.... it makes my heart race. But I can't say that... can I?
I want to talk to you. I want to hear your thoughts. I want to know about where you come from and what you like. If only I could understand what you're saying. I know it's ridiculous. I shouldn't think such things. But... then you go and surprise me.
Why... why does it feel like my breath is stolen? Like my heart might explode! It's just a few words. I say them all the time.
But when you say it. When you parrot the words I've told you countless times... it's the most wonderful sound I've ever heard. I want to hear more. I want to have real conversations with you. I want-
No. First thing is first. A way to communicate. It would be wonderful if we could speak to each other. Maybe there was a spell?

There wasn't. It was enough to drive one mad. Fine... if there wasn't a spell then it was time to make one. Just a little longer. Just waiting a bit longer.
Sullivan was as... eccentric as ever. But thank goodness the older demon seemed interested in the odd request. Though... that new butler of his was rather... rough around the edges.
Still! It won't be long now. Soon. Just a bit more. A little more research. More practice. One day the words will definitely be heard.

Days. Weeks. It didn't matter. Every hour was a step closer to her. The thought of her was all the momentum needed.
Done! Done at last! There wasn't time to stop and chat. Comrades could wait. Why was the hall so long?
Bursting through the doors seeing those bright and curious eyes. It was all worth it. The tightness in my chest as I recite the spell. The pure joy I feel as I realize it's worked. The words just spill out without thought.
It echos. Heat rising as I slowly process what I've said. Seeing the redness on her face as well. Was that too much? Does she not feel the same? Those silent moments felt like torture.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
She likes me. She really likes me! But I know nothing of romance!!!! How does it work??? What should I give her? How can I convey everything?
Comrads truly are the best. How could I ever manage without them? Of course the two were idiots. Just because i like someone they think the world is ending.
But the ideas they offered. The help they provided. How lucky i am to have them. Sazban... Raim... words can not express how grateful i am.

Trials. Tears. Blood. Loving you is not easy. The fear i felt was real. Pondering what it meant. I almost hurt you... but I didn't.
It just proves I need to become stronger. I need to fight my own instincts. I need to do everything I can to prove I'm worthy.
Let me steele my resolve. My love can overcome anything. Everything i do is for you. That face. Even if it leads me to my own grave I will prevail. Nothing will hurt her.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Love. Marriage. A child on the way. I have never been happier. The joy makes my heart soar. I'll do everything right!
I'll read every book. Recite every chant. I will ensure a happy life for both you and this precious child. Part demon part human. Beautiful. Our love combined.
I was nervous. Everything had been prepared. Not a single slip up could be allowed. Your life was too precious. Let both mother and child be safe.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Resolve. Nothing would take you away. No one would harm my child. Not even my superior. Not even the king of hell. I will fight till the end.
Call it insubordination. Call it stupidity. Suicidal. It didn't matter. My heart won't waver. I will not yield. My love, my desire, my will, it will not break, it will not submit.
No matter the pain. No matter how many times I'm knocked down. I must get up again. I must protect. There's something fragile that I need to look after. Small hands that I must protect.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Heartbreak. Devastating heartbreak. Why? Why must we part? Why can't I go with you? I know you can't stay. You'll die of you remain.
But I would give up everything for you. For our child. It's not fair. You had been looking forward to raising her. You had made a life here... yet you couldn't stay.
I can't be selfish. Not when it comes to you. I want you to live a long and happy life even if it's without me. The tears just won't stop. Save you. Anything to save you. I will let you go...
*I love you... I love you... i... love... you...*

Thank you... thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for telling me about your life. About your world.
Thank you for sharing your likes and dislikes. For crying and laughing with me. Thank you for giving me a chance. For trusting me. For marrying me. For giving birth to our beautiful daughter.
You were so bright. So beautiful. You came and went in my life in such a short time. Like a butterfly... but to me, you were everything.
My wife Merize... I will never forget you. And my heart will never waver. My love will never fade. I hope one day we'll meet again. So that I can tell you all about Ameri and the demon she's become.
