Death Guns In Another World

Alex bends down on one knee and took her hand and asked, 

''Luna Heart will you marry me?"

Time seemed to have stopped for her, not in her wildest dream she had expected such a declaration. At best she thought Alex would ask her to come live with them. 

She was overwhelmed with emotions, so much that tears started falling from her eyes, it was tears of happiness. How couldn't she be when the one she loves asks her hand? 

Her response was, 

''Yes.'' 

Alex smiled before putting the crystal blue ring on the fourth finger on her left hand. 

Looking at the crystal ring, Luna smiled,

''Beautiful.'' 

''You are more beautiful,'' Alex said before kissing her, it was a light kiss. 

''Lex when I am with you, I feel happy as if I was walking on a cloud. I love you so much that it hurts. You know me, I'm a needy person, I love fighting. Despite knowing the real me. Do you still want me in your life?'' Luna asked just to be sure. 

Chuckling Alex said, ''It's all those things that make you what you are, I will not deny them. Love is about acceptance. I will accept all of you, you will accept all of me. I love you, when I look at you I see my future, my paradise. I can't be perfect without you beside me. So, yes I want you to be part of my life. Please be mine forever.''

These words moved Luna to tears, she felt extremely loved.

''I'm so happy. I will never forget this day.'' 

''Me neither,'' Alex said.

Even though he knew she would accept, he was still happy when she did. There was a little bit of him thinking maybe she wouldn't accept saying it was too fast. However, to him it wasn't, he loves her and when to spend the rest of their life together, so why hesitate. Previously they were fiancé in name, however, now they are properly engaged. 

Alex moved closer to Luna and reached out his arms and encircled her waist from behind. 

He put his head on her shoulder while taking huge breaths. 

''It saddens me that Aunt May wouldn't be able to see such a scene,'' Alex said while thinking about how regrettable it is not to be able to ask Luna's parents, especially her mother, her daughter's hand. 

''Ah! Don't worry even if she isn't present I bet she will feel my happiness. They will continue living through me even if I may never be able to see them again. I'm not lonely I have a family now.'' Luna turned her head to face Alex, their faces were almost touching as she said these words, there was a bright smile on her face.

Alex nodded his head before asking, ''Lû, I want you to come live with me. Do you accept?"

''Yes, I want to live with you. I will tell the others tomorrow at the same time show them my ring.'' Luna said thinking about Maria and Sakuya's reaction. 

Alex let out a chuckle finding Luna's decision childish, it was like a child that got a new toy and couldn't wait to go show it. 

While he thinking such a thing, Luna closed her eyes, she inhaled deeply before taking away his arms from around her and turned to face him. 

She removed his eye patch, Alex immediately controlled his right as not to hurt her. Staring into those beautiful heterochromia eyes Luna got momentarily dazed, somehow Alex's blue eye remains her of the ring she was wearing. She stroked it before saying. 

''I'm happy that you have proposed to me. Now that I'm your fiancee there is something I want to say." 

''Go ahead.'' 

Nodding her head Luna said with seriousness that made Alex gulp.

''I'm not asking you to tell me all your secrets, however, I want you to tell me what burdening you. Weak as maybe I'm not so weak to be left on the sideline, I want to support you with my meager strength, to lift some of your burdens, and to be able to do that you must tell me. I know men must protect his woman but the woman ought to do the same. I do not claim that I can perfectly support you but I will try my best, please rely on me.'' 

Alex was moved, so moved that he embraced her to feel their beating hearts. He swore to himself that he must protect this girl no matter what. He must protect those dears to him, to do so he needs strength, to be the strongest. However, he didn't want to stand at the top like a lonely king, he wants his loved ones beside him. 

''Okay, I understand. I will rely on you, my dear fiancee. Don't come complaining later, okay?"

Alex said he didn't forget to crack a joke at the end. 

Luna giggled, ''Don't worry I will not.'' 

Before kissing him on her initiative. She went for the deep kiss. Ten minutes passed before they got separated. With misty eyes, Luna stared at her fiance. Both stared into each other eyes for a moment, everything seemed to have disappeared from the world, leaving only the two. They remembered everything that happened before today, it almost seems like a dream, however, it wasn't. 

From now on they will live together, celebrate, fight, learn to forgive the other as it's what love is. The road may be bumpy but they will reach their destination with the others.

''Let's go back.'' 

After what seemed to be an eternity, Alex said, Luna nodded. 

Suddenly, Alex squatted inviting Luna to mount his shoulders, she happily did it. 

''Wow! It's so high.'' She said while looking at the shining commercial. The night was not different from the day due to the numerous luminaes illuminating the capital. 

With Luna on his shoulders, Alex left. The passerby whistled when they saw the couple. Luna blushed heavily. Even though she was embarrassed she refused to descend. 

Today was the best day of her life, one which she would never forget. The best date of her life. Alex may have numerous wives, however, she will always be the first to whom he made a declaration, this means a lot to her. The place she occupies inside his heart will never be stolen no matter how many women came after her. She was sure of this. 

Unaware of his fiancee's thought, Alex continued while happily humming. 

Trailing them not too far was two women, the passersby seemed to not see them. One was chuckling, 

''What a cute boy. I would like to have such a declaration. How lovely.'' 

Killing intent locked the purple-haired beauty in place, smiling she said unaffected, ''Wow! Jealous are we? Zero, don't worry your turn-" 

''Shut up, Alpha, or else I will kill you.'' Zero, the brown-haired woman shouted annoyed. 

Alpha giggled not saying anything. Of course, she noticed the annoyance in Zero's voice and she knew why. Looking at the couple walking in front of them Alpha wondered if one she would be able to find love. 

'Unlikely.' She thought while shaking her head, she decided to focus on her job. 

Zero was silent, nobody knows what she was thinking. 

However, for an inexplicable reason, Alex kept feeling a cold chill running down his spine until he reached his villa. He wondered if he had offended an unseen enemy.
