Chapter 5: Forever Entwined

Months had passed since that fateful day when Hange had confessed his love to me, and now, we stood together, hand in hand, having finally graduated from our respective studies. The sun shone brightly overhead, casting a warm glow over the crowd of friends and family gathered to celebrate our achievement. As we walked off the stage, diplomas in hand, Hange's eyes locked onto mine, shining with pride and love. I couldn't help but smile, feeling a sense of accomplishment and happiness wash over me. We made our way through the throng of people, shaking hands and receiving congratulations from our loved ones. But Hange's gaze never wavered from mine, and I could sense that he had something special planned. As we reached the edge of the crowd, Hange stopped, his eyes burning with intensity. He took a deep breath, and I could see the emotions welling up in his eyes. "Princess," he whispered, his voice low and husky, "from the moment I met you, I knew that you were the one for me. You are my everything, my reason for being. Will you marry me?" Tears of joy pricked at the corners of my eyes as I nodded my head, letting him know that it was a yes. Hange's face lit up with a radiant smile, and he pulled out a small box from his pocket. He opened the box, revealing a stunning diamond ring that sparkled in the sunlight. With trembling hands, he took my left hand and slid the ring onto my finger. It fit perfectly, and I couldn't help but gasp in delight. Hange's lips brushed against mine, soft and gentle at first, but quickly deepening into a passionate kiss. The world around us melted away, leaving only the two of us, lost in the moment. As we broke apart for air, Hange's eyes locked onto mine, shining with love and adoration. "I love you, princess," he whispered, his voice full of emotion. "I love you too, Hange," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. Our wedding was a beautiful, intimate affair, with only our closest friends and family in attendance. We exchanged vows, promising to love and cherish each other for the rest of our lives. After the ceremony, we embarked on a luxurious, romantic honeymoon, traveling to exotic destinations and enjoying each other's company in paradise. We spent our days lounging on pristine beaches, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, and exploring the local culture. One evening, as we sat on the deck of our luxurious villa, watching the sunset over the ocean, Hange cradled me against his big, muscular chest. I wrapped my arms around his neck, feeling safe and loved. As the stars began to twinkle in the night sky, Hange leaned in, his lips brushing against my ear. "I'm so glad I found you, princess," he whispered, his voice full of emotion. "I'm glad too, Hange," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. In that moment, I knew that I was exactly where I was meant to be – in Hange's arms, forever entwined.
