[She cannot love, that is what she kept telling herself. It will hurt less when they leave, or die. Just love them as much as it will make them happy. But now, she understands what it is like to love and be loved. To be guided so that she can still have her walls taken down, and grow only stronger for it. He may not be her leader, and she will still say this, but he is her king in a very different way. A more human way. Who would've thought? Perhaps she will care a little more for this world now, knowing where, or who, it had lead her to.
And so she returns his kiss, slow and deep, to return his love with her own. To thank him for caring for her like this. To show him that she will care for him. Just like this.
Eternity is a long time, and she won't even know what the future holds for them. But for now, they are within reach. And if her long years have taught her anything, it is that she will treasure every moment of it.]
