Love and Laughter!

"Wake up damm tiny horns! It's time for work!"

Sedah had gotten out of bed and went downstairs.

"Yes sir! Ready for work!" He said to Lyanna's father.

"Wait jus' a second, honey, Sedah. Come and eat breakfast!" Lyanna's mother spoke in a soft, and quiet voice.

"Good! Today you'll be plowing the rice fields and then working at our inn afte-"

"-I SAID COME AND EAT BREAKFAST YOU TWO!" Lyanna's mother spoke with a harsh tone. Both of them sat down and stuffed their faces with bread and eggs. A nice and warm meal. Lyanna came down a little later.

"Ah! Food!" Lyanna immediately ran over, scoffing her food down in a hurry but still half-asleep and her hair all messy.

"-wa-wat-water!!!" She grabbed her glass of water and then drank it all in one gulp, almost losing her life to a hefty meal. Sedah looked at Lyanna. Lyanna forgot about Sedah starting to live with them. Sedah couldn't help but laugh...

"PFT!!" unable to hold his laughter, he covered his hand with his mouth. Lyanna had forgotten about Sedah starting to live with them and quickly went red in the face.

"AW- AWAWA -AWAWAWAW! Y-Y -YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING!" embarrassed, she got up and out of her chair.

Pointing her finger at Sedah, "Understand?" she said with murderous intention, quickly running upstairs.

"Ahem! Lyanna's father putting his clenched fist to his mouth" "Continuing from where we left off, you'll then be learning how to use a sword. Be grateful; your learning from the very best of the best! Me. After trainings done and over with, your free to do whatever else, like getting lost forever."

"Dear!" Lyanna's mother had slapped him on the back of his head and then let out a huge sigh.

"..stupid old man..." Sedah muttered quietly under his breath.

"Haaaaaaaah!? Did I hear that right - an old man, did you say?" clenching his fist, Sedah ran out quickly, "I'm going to plough the fields now, bye"

"Damm brat!"

Sedah continued to work hard at everything he did, getting used to the labour rapidly. His swordsmanship had grown quickly, and even Lyanna's father knew he would easily surpass himself.

Eight years had passed within a blink of an eye...

Every second he had free time, Sedah was with Lyanna, and Lyanna was with Sedah; they both laughed and argued with each other through the years. Time had passed by quickly and peacefully. They both became young adults. Sedah had turned nineteen and Lyanna had turned twenty.

After training, like he usually did, he took a bath and then ran to Lyanna. They both always met on a hill someplace a bit further away from the village; the sun went down faster than usual, and the moon had gone up quicker.

Sedah saw Lyanna on top of the hill sitting, looking up at the moon. Sedah, from the first time he saw her until now, had always been captivated. Lyanna's eyes caught Sedah's stare, and she gestured for him to come to sit next to her, patting the ground. Sedah went over and sat.

"You've never told me why you were deep in the forest in the first place. From when we first met. Why were you?"

"Well, as strange as it sounds, I heard a voice calling out to me, and naturally, I just followed it. Then I met you like it was fate." Lyanna said with a great big smile.

"...right."

"Ah! You don't believe me do you?" Lyanna had questioned with the pressure of a great big pout.

"No... I believe you, honest! Well, it is a little far-fetched..."

"Hmph!... Sedah, you've grown, y'know. Your taller than me now, and your not so scrawny anymore...guess I can't call you shorty anymore!"

"...I think I was right when I first met you."

"Oh~what about?" Lyanna eyes stared deeply in Sedah's eyes.

"Your eyes...they've had me hypnotized for a long time now." Sedah stared at Lyanna's eyes.

Lyanna tucked her knees to her chest as her face became full of embarrassment; looking down, she quietly said, "..d-do you e-even know w-w-what you're saying?" She stuttered at every word. Sedah immediately grabbed both of Lyanna's hand, interlocking her thin, long fingers with his rough ones.

"Yes, I do know." Sedah kept staring at Lyanna's eyes. Sedah's gaze was so serious and so full of love. Lyanna also couldn't help but be intoxicated by this emotion called love.

"Lyanna..."

"...Y-Y-Yesh" Lyanna had bit her tongue with eager restlessness.

"Lyanna. I love you with all my heart. Will you marry me?" Sedah had resolutely avowed his love, and Lyanna's heart, in response, beat faster and faster. Her breathing became heavier and heavier. "I wuv you too!" Now panting, with hearts in her beautiful eyes.

In the next moment, she had pulled Sedah forward. Lyanna's arms now wrapped across Sedah's neck.

Passionately they kissed. Both had wished this moment could last forever.
