"Kia!" Shade burst into room after room, searching for the girl. He looked everywhere, but could not find her. He finally went back up to his room, thankfully clear of any prying eyes.
When he had come back to the castle, the people had recognized him by his clothes and manner, and did not get a good look at his face. Praying to god no one cornered him about disappearing for a week, he looked in every room but could not find Kia.
Exasperated, he had ended up in his room again. Defeated, he decided to head down to his favorite place, the garden, to think. As he slowly descended the stairs, he thought about what will happen in the future. What will happen to the kingdom? Will they still recognize him? And more importantly, will Kia?
He pushed the uneasy thoughts from his mind and stepped out into the sunshine. Taking a deep breath of blooming roses and a faint odor or strawberry jam, Shade opened the gate of the garden.

Kia sighed, wondering what she should be doing right now. Meeting Shade had been... different. He had cared about her and suddenly, he had disappeared faster than anything. Where had he gone?
Kia felt her cheeks turn bright red as she remembered what happened when she met him. He made her feel reassured and happy. He was someone she had never encountered before. He didn't back away from her upon finding that she was immortal. In fact, he had left... to help her. Kia bit her lip and turned around only to find a sight she'd never seen before.
Ruler Shade was in front of her, a youthful face and swallowed up in his clothing. He was... a teenage boy instead of the adult that she had first encountered. Yet she knew it was him. He had gone after Fate to reverse her immortality so... oh dear lord... no way!
"S-Shade?" She chocked out, "You're immortal now?" She wanted to laugh and cry. Maybe now. Maybe now she wouldn't be alone. Yet she wondered how he felt about all this. Oh lord, what about the kingdom. Their lord was a kid again!

Seeing Kia's face again was seeing the sun after a year of rainy days. He ran to her, embracing her, and it felt so good, to not feel like such a pedophile anymore. "Kia, it's me. Yes, I'm immortal. I-I found Fate. Well, more like she found me. But... I asked her. I asked her to reverse your immortality, but, she made me immortal instead." He laughed.
His insides were bursting with joy, yet he had no idea if she returned his feelings. He immediately blushed. "I...er...yeah." Turning awkward again, he was reminded of 9 years ago, when he had been seventeen. Shade could not stop beaming at the girl in front of him. The girl that he would get to spend the rest of his life with. He couldn't quite imagine life together, but he had a feeling it would be good. All thoughts of kingdoms and councils fled his brain as the only thing on his mind now was Kia.
Did she feel the same way or...?

Kia felt relieved to see Shade, even if they had only met once. She didn't know why she felt this so... so... Kia burrowed her face into Shade's shirt, her arms around his neck. He was quite... attractive. That she knew and she looked into his eyes and she felt grateful and appreciated. He was someone she had never encountered before and he made her feel nervous and her stomach fluttered. Without missing a beat and without even THINKING, she pressed her lips against his own and kissed him, sending her own feelings in this action of hers. All thoughts fleed her head until she finally pulled back. She was rather daring, almost like a real teenager, she mused. She laughed and a blush was fully heated upon her cheeks.
"I love you Shade. I love you more than anything and... I still can't believe you would do this for me," She said breathlessly.

When she put her arms around him and flat out kissed him, Shade thought he had nearly fainted. Now that he was seventeen, were his hormones back too? Head spinning and fully surprised, he saw that she was blushing, causing him to blush even more.
Then, hearing her say that she loved him... It filled him with more happiness than...than...anything he could every have imagined. Replying not with a word, Shade leaned down again and pressed his own lips to Kia's. Being with her was happiness, being without her, unimaginable.
"Kia, I would do anything for you." And he meant it. Whether it was climbing the highest mountain or swimming across the largest ocean, for Kia, he would do it. "Because, I love you too." But this time, as he said these words, he was no longer blushing. He was serious.
So he was less nervous than he probably should have been when he proceeded to this next step. Getting down on one knee, he kept Kia's hand in his own. Reaching into his shirt pocket, he took out a small box. Flipping open the lid, there lay a small ring, as delicate as butterfly wings. "Kia, I want you to be my wife. I know that we're seventeen and we probably will be forever, but even not legally, I want to be with you forever."

Kia smiled when Shade kissed her again and replied back to her. It made her heart flutter and her blush began to creep away as reality soon sunk in. When he got on his knee in front of her though, her eyes widened slightly and she nearly gasped as he held out a ring. It was, in so many more words than this, beautiful. Magnificent. The whole atmosphere right now was. She bit her cheek as he proposed.
He proposed to her. The thought just not blinked into her mind and she stared at him with astonishment and love before she let out a breath and she smiled. A smile that was honest and genuine. Nothing could ever replace this moment as her happiest.
"Yes Shade, Yes!" She said and she wrapped her arms around her neck and kissed him again. She was quiet a few moments as she thought about all this. Currently, they were both 17 and would forever be 17. The kingdom wouldn't believe that Shade was a kid again and most likely treat him like a child like they did to Kia all these years. Maybe... The thought came to Kia and she bit her lip to keep from nearly laughing. Shade would probably be horrified.
"There is the matter about the whole kingdom not going to believe you're Ruler Shade of Rike. Maybe... we could both disguise ourselves for a time." She said quietly.

Hearing her response, he was smiling so hard he thought his face might crack. His stomach was flipping it felt like it was on a very good trampoline with well-oiled springs.
Kia, however, mentioned that the whole kingdom of Rike may not believe he is Shade, but... they could go in disguise. "In disguise..." He smiled. "Sounds fun. If I can avoid the council, I'll do whatever you wish." Kissing her back one more time for good measure, "I would follow you to the end of the world, my love."
