Promise

I think my brain is fried, or all I'm seeing the swirling caramel that is his eyes. Did I hear him correctly? I did, didn't I? What do I do I've never been asked this before, heck Ryu father didn't even give me anything except scorn at the end. I do like Kyo maybe even love. After all he's given me so much support for the last two years with Ryu, and it feels like I've know him for a long time. There is also the fact that this sweet man cooking could be all mine...Ah!

"Kyo please get off the ground, honestly I would love to say yes in a heartbeat, but I can't right now. I've way to much stress on my plate, and I don't want to drag you down into it. I know it might be asking to much of you, but could you wait until I've cleared my issues up? "

Getting off the ground Kyo pulled Lily into his embrace "Lily I told you. You don't have to answer today, I waited this long anyway what is a couple more years or even months?" Kissing her forehead he let her go smiling gently, "I promise I'll wait for you every time." Putting the ring on her right fourth finger. "This will stand as the promise between us."
