She looked at him, her lips pressing into a thin line. She didn't break eye contact, and took a hold of the hand he brought to his face. She folded her fingers around his and closed her eyes briefly to collect her thoughts. Her right hand remained in his hair, knotting there as she concentrated. She took the hand that she held and pressed it to her lips. She kissed the back of her fingers, leting them linger against her lips before letting them rest against her collar bone.
Mamoru, you aren't always going to be able to protect me.
[She said this with a confident serenity in her voice. One of certainty and conviction.]
You're only human. You're going to mess up and fail sometimes.
But no matter what, none of that is going to make me stop loving you. You don't have to make anything up to me. All I need is...
[She took tis hand and placed it against her cheek.]
All I need is you alive and here with me. As long as it is in your power. I just want you to be by my side, and I'll be by yours, okay? [What little control over her voice she had began to break down. She squeezed her eyes shut and pressed her face against the crown of his head. Willing her self not to cry anymore.]
