"I resisted all the diseases and curses myself.I don't want to trouble and make someone suffer because of it..." Kou was still talking with his tears that kept falling.
"You take something that makes me suffer and take it for granted..."
Shuan felt very guilty when he saw Kou continue to cry like that, his feeling was too pure to want to help and not want to trouble anyone but himself.
All the burdens and suffering he felt he had borne with great effort and hard work but Shuan instead took it without any permission.
Causing Kou to feel very worried until his mind continues to be filled with increasing suffering about losing something so precious to him.
Because he often lost many friends and someone he loved, Kou felt traumatized when he remembered it again even he did not want to lose Shuan because of the curse he had received now.
His father, his mother, and perhaps one day Shuan himself could have left Kou for good, the longer Kou doesn't want to rely on anyone and trust anyone but her two older brothers who won't always be with her either.
Shuan continued to hear Kou's negative words, he looked so pessimistic when he found out his request, what he wanted all this time was affection and someone who wanted to accompany him.
Shuan clenched both of his fists, trying to destroy Kou's destiny and curse, trying to make a girl as small as herself happy for all eternity.
"I don't want to lose anyone. I don't want to lose someone I love so much. I'm sick of it..." Kou continued to let go of his tired feelings about losing someone.
"I don't want to lose you. No.. No...!" Kou continued to argue like a child who wanted to do something but was always banned.
Shuan's body burned with tension, his heart was even pierced several times by the sword and he realized one thing that his purpose and desire to see Kou smile had failed.
Now he was experiencing great sadness, all his sadness, pain, and depression were mixed in his mind, not knowing what to do but cry out loud.
Shuan tried to do something for himself, "Kou Comi!"
"Hiks..." Kou was still crying but he received a warm hug from Shuan, the hug grew tighter and tighter until it made Kou feel calm little by little.
"S-shuan..." Hearing Kou say Shuan's name made his heart beat so fast.
Shuan felt used to hugging him and hearing his name come out through his mouth but the feeling he felt felt was so new and different.
"I want Kou to keep calling me for the rest of my life, even better with that smile..." Revealing Shuan, he began to wonder if Kou kept calling his name in his heart.
"I want Kou to keep saying my name while showing me that smile."
"It would be better if he would be honest and let go of all that sadness in front of me so that he could feel calmer by venting all that..."
Shuan tightened his arms and began to whisper right in his ear, "Marry me, Kou..."
Shuan managed to muster all his courage just to say a word that was able to make Kou's sadness stop instantly, his face grew more red and his tears were still rushing.
Shuan felt Kou's body tremble instantly, Kou looked at Shuan then he smiled, "H-Hm..."
Kou answered her with an opening body, unable to say anything as he did not expect Shuan to directly propose to her, which meant that the upcoming marriage was in two.
Kou immediately shook his head so quickly, trying to wipe away the sadness that was still set on his face, Shuan started stroking his head.
"The Crimson curse and emblem I received from you won't give me any ill effects..."
"Just I want you to know that this curse is a symbol of your love for me..."
"Any curse won't stop me from getting up and trying to fight it. I'll do it without giving up or giving up..."
"...intentionally, Kou, I took this curse as a symbol of love." Shuan hugged her tighter.
"B-But the curse will make you experience as much pain and fever as I do." Said Kou who looked still panicked.
Shuan smiled and then stroked his head again and again, trying to win over the panic and worry.
Shuan was happy when he saw Kou want to vent all the sadness in front of him, just seeing it made Shuan get more excited and motivated to do anything to protect him.
Taking care of him is also a very important task for him until he wants to become a father of the household so as not to leave Kou alone while at work.
Although from the outside it looks like a child but in it there is a sense of responsibility and attitude that does not want to trouble anyone but wants to help them all to feel a happy life.
Her innocent and gentle attitude makes Kou increasingly a girl who must be protected, "Destiny or any curse, I will remain a powerful Legend and deserve to defeat both."
Shuan tightened his embrace while whispering all the words right next to Kou's ear.
"B-But it's impossible. to challenge such curses and destinies..."
"I won't let go of you, not forever."
"Whoever tries to stop me, your brother..."
"I will fight back, no matter what happens, I will make you a wife who can keep happiness a secret forever, Kou."
Kou was shocked when he heard, "Um..."
"I promise to take responsibility and take care of you, don't you...?"
"You let myself do anything for you even I can only cure the curse by taking it, so I alone must take responsibility for it."
"Hiks... Mm... Hm..."
"I give you whatever I can give you..."
"But I made you wait a very long time..." Shuan held onto Kou's chin and raised his head so that he could look at her sad face.
Shuan looked at his eyes filled with tears, "That's why I will never leave you and let you go until you marry me."
"A-Ah... Mm..." Tears flowed out again, this time having a different meaning even Shuan could see some light through Kou's tears that had just come out.
"The meaning of your name really shows you. light. happiness.. and peace..." Shuan said, making Kou cover his face on Shuan's chest.
Holding back another cry, Kou glanced upwards and looked back at Shuan's face.
"Please..." His voice sounded so small and soft, Shuan heard it clearly.
"...please make me trust you. my husband..." Shuan was shocked when he heard Kou calling himself a husband who meant his proposal had been accepted.
"You mean..."
Kou immediately looked the other way with flushed cheeks, just seeing him made Shuan feel confident that he had managed to fulfill his goal of marrying her.
"Kou..."
Kou looked at Shuan with a calm look now, the light above the sky had emitted Kou's face so that Shuan could clearly see the hope he wanted from his face.
Shuan lowered his head, trying to give him a kiss but Kou's height was too short until he was forced to kneel.
Kou stopped himself by holding his clothes tightly, "I'm sorry for having such a small body.I originally dreamed of having the same body and height as my two brothers."
"So that one day I may show myself as a mature girl..."
"No. Your little body is enough, I like it very much." Shuan smiled, making Kou blush then he started to tiptoe to do the first kiss on his lips.
Shuan was surprised when he saw Kou trying to raise his body by doing a tote, the kiss ended when Kou's legs felt weak.
"Kou..." Shuan smiled then he patted his head a few times, Kou immediately hugged Shuan's arm tightly while resuscitating his head.
"I love you..."
"I love you, my husband..." Kou smiled broadly.
"Kou Comi's..." Hearing Kou say something that made her excited, Shuan could see her gentle gaze and her sweet smile.
He knew what to do next, without spending any time else Shuan knelt down and gave him another kiss until it surprised Kou.
Shuan started to stop kissing her and he could see Kou smiling, ".hm."
"I love you, Shuan..." Kou pulled Shuan's right arm and gave him a few kisses.
"...my husband." Shuan could have burst out full of happiness when hearing Kou say it was full of cheerfulness no one could stop him now.
"Gtts... Hehe... Hahahahaha~" Kou started laughing, Shuan looked confused as Kou let go of a happy-sounding laugh.
"I can feel it...! The spirit you give is so great! Feels great...!" Said Kou in a loud voice.
Now it was time to take out the red box so that he could declare all of this official that he would marry Kou and make himself Shuan's full possession.
Shuan began to kneel down then he took out a red box that opened wide, showing a red ring until it made Kou smile.
Shuan took the ring and looked at Kou, "Kou Comi..."
"Y-Y-Yeah...?"
With a serious look, Shuan raised Kou's left arm as high as his shoulder, silence began to appear and Kou's cheeks began to turn red.
"This is proof that I will make you my wife, everything is official that you are mine..."
Kou nodded, after seeing that nod Shuan directly inserted the ring into his ring finger.
All of Shuan's proposal plans had great success, Shuan did not need an audience but the smile Kou showed after receiving the ring.
Shuan got up and gave him another hug until he saw Korrina standing right behind Kou with a smile.
After that he just disappeared, united with the light to make Shuan confused instantly because it felt like a mere illusion.
"Let's go back."
"Hm~"
