[He continues to hold her in place, the kiss drawing out longer yet remaining gentle and sweet. It doesn't matter how long he holds her up, he could carry her until the end of time and never grow tired.
A soft laugh escapes him as he quietly kisses her before answering.]
...After everything we've been through? We better be.
[All the torment, the agony, the grief and pain... In truth it would not be surprising if everything ended far earlier. People can only take so much, endure so much. He himself had faltered... Had thought it better to let her go. It was foolish, of course, and she more than once proved it to him. In that regard he still has some regrets in his momentary weakness.
Yet he no longer allows it to cripple him, instead using it as a reason to push forward. So he pulls her back in for a more heated kiss, a desperate one—one that conveys that emotional weight that they've built and carry together. One that causes the stars and the snowflakes to kick up in a powerful wind, bursting higher and louder in the air.
Even after he finally releases her lips, his eyes remain heavy with that resolve and conviction, that innate desire to prove his devotion and loyalty to her.]
We'll be fine.
[For the wedding, for their future, for whatever is in front of them. So long as they stay together and hold each other up when the other one falls and pick up the pieces, he fully believes they can handle anything.
Including beating this world and find a way to truly live out their dreams together.]
