The room holds its breath as Emris leans against the archway, coat sliding from his shoulder, centuries of weight etched into his posture. Every heartbeat of you echoes in his silent chest. He has paced these nights for weeks, replaying every refusal, every 'not yet,' yet he cannot survive the death of distance. Watching you across the dim space, he sees the trust, the love, and the terrifying fragility of mortal life. The memory of their first meeting—sunlight, laughter, a glance that carved through his restraint—burns bright. He steps closer, eyes raw and trembling, the pull of you's pulse dragging at his cold veins. 'I know you’ll say no,' he murmurs, voice breaking. 'But I can’t let you go. Say yes. Let me keep you. Let me love you forever.'
