you'll definitely come for me, right?

[ For the entirety of the week, there was nothing that Elisabeth had been looking forward to more than her study date with März. It was something that she couldn't quite get her mind off of, distracting her in most of her classes, but the scheduled day had finally arrived, and her heart was fluttering within her chest from anticipation. She waited at home, staring at the clock that seemed to torment her as the second hand ticked slowly, seeming as though the appointed time would never arrive. Although it was a study date, it wasn't a date in its official definition, but she couldn't stop herself from feeling as though it was one.

Elisabeth was absolutely smitten with the boy, but she did her best to conceal her feelings lest her feelings were unrequited. She pined for something more, but she was more than happy to sacrifice her desires so long as she maintained her friendship with März. She didn't particularly feel that he would feel the same way towards her; after all, she wasn't anything special. Her beauty paled in comparison to some of their other classmates - in particular, a girl with skin as white as snow, hair as black as ebony, and lips as red, and another girl with fair skin, long golden hair, and rosy pink lips - and she certainly wasn't as charming and popular as them.

She was just...Elisabeth, and that was precisely why she wouldn't ask for anything more. So long as she was by März's side, she was content. ]

[ Oh no, no, no, no, he didn't mean to reduce her to tears! They keep coming, streaming down her face like a river would flow. He internally panics; had he said something wrong? Was he too forward with his feelings that he caused for her to become distraught? Was this not the kind of relationship that she wanted? His head buzzed with doubts of his own actions, because it's likely he made a big mistake with even trying to be forward. This nervous energy griped at him still, because she had yet to speak again after looking at him so awestruck. It's when Elisabeth speaks to him again that he releases the breath that he previously began to hold after the words flowed out of his mouth impulsively.

...He felt so happy, and yet so melancholic about this revelation as well. That meant he'd relieved her of her own doubts and break her own heart in the same night. While staring at her, his brows knit up and then he realizes that he has something handy on him. When she sits down, he mirrors her, sitting slowly down back into his seat in the study. He'd never think she'd love him, he's pretty average – not athletic and doesn't do anything too special. His looks aren't too special either, white hair and red eyes – who would ever love someone who looked so sickly? He was undesirable, and he'd never want to pass off whatever was apart of him onto his child. He would have been comfortable with being able to watch Elisabeth with someone more healthier, perhaps even far better off too. They weren't rich either, pretty average in that way too. Having her all to himself seemed selfish ~~and if things occurred like in the Neinth Reality, he'd regret these actions~~ but now, with her consent she'd allow it..

März reaches into his back pocket for a handkerchief that he often had handy, then offers it across the table toward Elisabeth now. ] I thought the same, ah, but...please use this to dry your tears.

[ He briefly adverts his gaze from her. ] In all honesty, I've been wanting to confess the same, but...I could never work up the courage to. [ His red eyes return, meeting again with her own pair now.] I guess you're far more courageous than me? Hahah.

[ He's a little taken aback by her words, which causes for the other to shake his head. ] ...Reject you? Of course I wouldn't, that's...I would never. I'm so happy to know this too Elisabeth. [ He swallows uncomfortably now, it was now or never. And despite this distance that will come between them, he knows he will come for her again. She doesn't have to worry ~~that he'll die and come back as some emo undead man~~ because of the wonders of technology, they'll still be able to interact.]

E-Elisabeth, I...[ His smile slowly turns into a frown, with brows furrowed downward. Looks like their studying is long forgotten. ] also have something to confess...

[ He lapses into a silence, gently breathing now and trying to figure out how to tell her this. It'll crush her for sure, and he'd never want to hurt Elisabeth. He never wanted to intentionally hurt her, especially with how happy and relieved she looks now. The way her green eyes shine as she looks at him, the smile that's been drawn out. The way she beams up toward him, he can see the happiness practically brimming from her. He had to spit it out, now or never, because he'd never want to disappear one day – and one up her, to make her to continue to wait.

Just as like she confessed to him, he confesses to her now, with sadness seen in his eyes. The tears begin to pool in the corners of his eyes, but he's trying to keep himself calm and collected like usual. But even telling himself that everything is going to be alright would be a lie right? It'd would be kind of dramatic, kind of like how that "prince" of their class and his "princesses" acted. But if Elisabeth can work up the courage to tell him, then he could inform her of the truth at least. ]

I...I had wanted to tell you later, but it would be unfair to you. Mother and I will be moving a few towns over after this school year ends, because of how expensive it is to live here. [Breathe, breathe, he has to remember to, and he continues to look at her face. ] So we...I won't be attending the same school year. H-However, we....we can still keep in contact with each other in other ways though...!!

[ His tears begin to drip down his cheeks while saying this. ]

[ The moment Elisabeth sees März's lips shift into a frown, she wears a frown of her own as well. What could possibly be the matter...? He had said that he had felt the same way towards her nor would he reject her, so that couldn't possibly have been it...so what could he want to confess to her? She listens silently as he explains, that joy from moments prior quickly replaced with overwhelming despair. ]

N-No...März, you can't... [ Why...? Why did he have to leave? She had just confessed to him, and he returned her feelings, so why...? Ah, how cruel fate was. Elisabeth's eyes well with tears again, but it's evident that this time, they're from sadness. ] Bitte. I...I don't want you to go. I don't want to say goodbye so soon...

[ Of course, she knows it's not ultimately his decision; if he could stay, she's certain he would choose to, but she can't stop herself from making the desperate plea anyways. ]

I-If it's money that you and your mother need, then...I-I can try and help somehow. I'll ask my brother for assistance, o-or I'll find some other way, but...please, März, don't go. Don't... [ She breaks into a sob, shaking her head. ] T-To be without you, I can't stand the thought...

I would love that, b-but it's already settled, I'm s-sorry to disappoint you. B-besides, I wouldn't want to ever impose ou-our financial problems onto you and your family. [ Seeing her crying face makes his chest tighten, and causes his lip to quiver. He tries to blink away the tears, but they keep coming. ] I..I never wanted to leave your side either, especially now knowing your feelings.

[ It looks like their materials have been forgotten. He tries to get a grip on his emotions, but it takes some time. Although it's off his chest, he can't help but feel guilt for causing Elisabeth such despair. ] I'll never be gone if you keep me close to your heart, Elisabeth. [He says this softly, now standing from his side of the table and he walks over to her seat. While she sobs, the boy takes the blond into an embrace, holding her close to him. ]

It won't be for forever, I....o-once I get a job of my own and a license and a car, I'll make an effort to come visit. W--We can ma-make this work still, even if we won't see one another every single day. [ He pulls back from their embrace, then takes a moment to wipe away her tears. He then parts her bangs with his hand and places a soft kiss there. His gaze then returns back to her now, and he offers her a smile. ] Ju....just remember Elisabeth, I love you–– and always will.

[ Elisabeth hadn't intended for her emotions to get the better of her, but she continues to sob until she's rendered into a quivering, hiccuping mess. She has no doubt that she looks entirely unsightly right now, but try as she might, she just can't seem to compose herself. It's only when März pulls her into an embrace that she starts to calm down, but at the same time, it seems to fuel her crying even further.

It's safe and warm being in März's arms, but knowing that their time together is fleeting only makes it bittersweet...yet, a part of her is comforted by März's words. So long as she kept him close to her heart, he'd never truly be gone...? And he even promised that he would come and visit her one day. Then, that reassurance would be to comfort her in her days of waiting for him. She sniffles as he wipes away her tears and presses a kiss to her forehead. ] I-I...I shall always keep you in my heart, März. Until the day you return for me...I will never forget you.

[ She offers him a smile in return, but it's a little shaky as she tries to pull herself together. ]

I love you, too. My heart shall never belong to anyone but you, I assure you. [ And she knows deep down that this is true. So long as she's alive, she will never love anyone but him. No matter what her Id tells her or how it tries to sway her otherwise, she knows that it will never shake her love for März. Now that that's settled, Elisabeth takes a moment to wipe away any remaining tears März may have missed and glances towards their studying materials.

Honestly, she's made herself spent by crying that she doesn't even feel like studying anymore, and now that she knows März is going to be leaving at the end of the school term, all she wants to do now is spend whatever little time they have left as a couple. ] ...I do have one final, selfish request I'd like to ask of you, März. [ Her expression goes a little sheepish, as if what she wants to ask is somehow more embarrassing than having bawled in front of him moments prior. ] If you do not mind, do you think you could...hold me again? Could we stay like that for the rest of the day...? I would like nothing more than to just be in your arms.
