And Then Beyond

As they stood on the rooftop of the school, overlooking the city, Gojo took Marin's hand in his and looked deeply into her eyes.

"Marin," he said, his voice soft and serious. "There's something I need to tell you."

Marin felt a flutter in her chest as she waited for him to continue. What could he possibly want to say?

"Ever since I met you, I've been drawn to you," Gojo said. "Your strength, your intelligence, your kindness...you're everything I've ever wanted in a partner. And now that we're together, I feel like my life has purpose and meaning."

Marin felt tears welling up in her eyes as she listened to Gojo's words. She had never felt so loved, so cherished.

"Gojo," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I love you so much. I never thought I could be this happy."

Gojo smiled, and then he leaned in to kiss her. It was a gentle kiss at first, but then it deepened, and Marin felt her heart racing with passion.

As they broke apart, Gojo took Marin's face in his hands and looked at her with intensity. "Marin," he said. "I promise to always be there for you, to support you, to love you. You're the most important thing in my life."

Marin felt a surge of emotion as she looked at Gojo. She knew that this was just the beginning of their journey together, but she felt confident that they could face anything as long as they had each other.

With that, they stood there, holding hands, watching the city lights twinkle below them, knowing that their love would only grow stronger with each passing day
