28 Accept this kind of person
"..."
"How should I go then?" Eli said with a little annoyance.
"I can order a dress for you?" Lily said she took her own phone.
"They can deliver it today?" Eli doubted as he tilted his head to look at her phone.
"Yes, If we paid extra, they will" Lily said while trying to block his view.
"How much will be?"
"Hmm, around 40 or so credits"
"HMMM" Eli was stunned, 'So they take 40 credits just for the delivery, that's fucking four-month revenue for me' he thought.
"I don't have that many credits, Lily" Eli awkwardly scratched his head.
Lily turned and looked at Eli closely and suddenly she turned and said, "It is fine, I will pay for it and I am the one who throws it away so it is fine"
"No, I ca..."
"Don't worry too much"
"No, I..."
"sigh, why don't we make a deal, I will pay for the dress and you will do what I ask? Ok" Lily smiled.
"What that could be?" Eli felt something off, 'why do feel I like I am being manipulated?'.
"Yes or No, or else just let me pay" Lily waved her phone.
"sigh, Yes"
"Super, Order...done and it will arrive in 4 Hours" Lily said and put it away.
"4 Hours? Huh, It's already 5'o Clock, sigh" Eli really wanted to take a rest early and then he realized,
"I don't know what dress it is and how much is that?" as he looked at Lily.
"Don't worry too much. It is a gift from me" Lily awkwardly smiled.
"....Ok, I just don't want to burden you" Eli said with a little nervous.
Lily nodded and lifted her right hand and said, "Now, I want you to hold my hand" as she lowered her head.
Eli understood what she was asking, so Eli hold her hand and both of them didn't say anything.
A few minutes later,
"You know, When you first touched me, for the first time I felt I am being accepted as who I am" Lily said with a longing expression and...anxious?
"Hmm?" Eli didn't get it, 'When did I accept her?'.
"I will destroy everything and nothing will stay on my side" Lily rumbled.
"hmm" Eli really didn't get it, just listened to her frustration and nodded.
"No matter what I do in the end, I will be all alone, lonely" as she tightly gripped Eli's hand.
"hmm"
"Even Adria has her own family but I can't"
"hmm"
"Everyone is scared of me but I never hurt the innocents"
"hmm"
"I wanted to freely move around the world without worrying about anything"
"hmm"
"I wanted to lift this curse of chains and darkness...
But I can't. So..."
and Lily lifted her head and looked at Eli's red eyes,
"All these years, I searched for someone.
Someone who accepts everything about me.
Someone who could understand me.
Someone who sees truly me.
Someone who could accept this twisted personality I recently found" Lily's eyes turned black and asked,
"I wanted to wait and let each other know better but I can't.
No matter what happened these few days, All I think about is you and you only, I truly want to wait but I felt something If I don't hold you now, you will go away to a place that I can't reach" Lily tightly gripped Eli's hand and said with mixed emotions,
"W-Will you a-accept this kind of person?"
"...." Eli stayed silent but inwardly, 'What?' and calmed himself.
"...Aren't you a little selfish?" Eli responded to her calmly.
"Huh?"
"Wanting 'me' to accept everything about 'you' and....I didn't even know anything about you"
"I-I am.."
"Wanting someone to accept everything about you, so that you could move on and save yourself" Eli's words hurt her.
"..." Lily lowered her head, because what he said was true. If she wanted, she could be with anyone with her true beauty alone but when she learned others' true nature and her own nature that caused chaos in the entire world; she was just scared of herself and being left alone.
'I didn't hope anyone to save me or anything, all I wanted was a person who can love the darkness/'me'.....unlike last time' Lily thought about her past with a pained expression.
"..." Eli looked at her with an indifferent expression and finally made up his mind,
"You are so selfish" as he removed his hand.
"Huh?" Lily lifted her head to see Eli's displeased look which totally hit her heart.
Lily was shocked and bit her lips for the first time she felt fear, 'I should have waited..' while thinking, Eli picked up her slender hips and placed her on his lap, 'Maybe I am also selfish like her...' he thought as he looked at her veiled face.
He then slowly removed the veil and looked at her shocked sky-blue eyes, small nose, and cute little lips which makes anyone bite it.
"....Even so, I think I can accept you everything" Eli said with a warm smile as he touched her silky golden hair softly but inwardly, 'It's not love yet, just a long obsession or something but...I think I like this also'.
"Huh?" Lily was still shocked.
Eli gently smiled.
Lily slowly moved her trembling hands as she touched Eli's face. They stared at each other for 5 or minutes and after that Lily tightly hugged Eli's body like he will go if she released him, Eli simply patted her back.
After sometimes Lily released the hug and then looked at Eli's face again and smiled warmly with little redness on her cheek.
"You know, I was scared when I unconsciously came here and met you. I couldn't hold myself, I wanted to hear your voice, smell you, see your smile. I wanted to see everything....." Lily said with a blissful expression.
"hmm" Eli just heard her rumbling.

<Hours Later>
"I Love You, Eli" Lily said bashfully while still sitting on his lap.
"Hmm" Eli nodded and gently smiled.
"Why are you not saying anything?" Lily frowned.
"'That word' I only say that to you when I mean it. I hope you understand now" Eli said with a little awkward.
"....Fine" Lily pouted but inwardly, 'I am one who cannot wait, so it is fine; look at him, he's kind of cute now and why is he staring at me? Do I have something on my face?'.
"Why are staring at me?" Lily asked curiously.
"Well, I never thought that a girl I met a few days ago, actually proposed to me and what's more she is a hell of a cute and...dangerous one. It never happened before, you know" Eli said seriously and smiled radiantly.
Lily's face turned even redder as she shuttered, "I-I.." but don't know what to speak.
Not to make her uneasy, Eli spoke,
"Let me introduce myself.
My name is Asher Eli.
I am an Farmer and...
I already Married someone" What he did was completely wrong but for her, he felt it is better to be truthful than made up lies.
