i find it heartbreaking how vampire!sakura watches you slowly grow old by his side while he stays looking like the boy he was a few hundred years ago. your hair turns gray while his stays black and white, the wrinkles start forming on your face, and your smile lines become more prominent—only making you even more beautiful, more than when he met you that one rainy night—and your body has weakened. significantly weaker than before, he now has to be by your side whenever you go up or down the long, tedious stairs of his manor. he'll hold your hand and maybe put a hand on the side of your waist as he guides you, telling you to take it slow and be careful.
watching you grow old is a beautiful process and a heartbreaking one too. because it means that you'll be leaving him one day, but he can't do anything to stop the time or stop your life from slowly decreasing. but what he can do is make the remaining years of your life the happiest years you've ever had. even if it's just sitting in the garden and admiring the moon, he'd grow the prettiest flowers just for you, so you can sketch them in your sketchbook.
if the time of your death comes, he'll make you your favorite dish and drink, bring your favorite flowers to your bedside, and hold you so close while he reads you your favorite book for one last time. he'll ensure you spend the remaining seconds of your life feeling loved, safe, and protected in his arms.
