Binding fate- 14

((So y'all aren't confused what happened last time was Maria tripped, and they both fell down cliché I know.))

•Maria's POV•

Our lips were touching, my heart almost gave out!

His eyes widened and his face was the reddest I have ever seen it.

I was frozen in place I had no clue on what to do.

I tried grabbing my bearings, I quickly sat up breaking the kiss.

Then all the sudden golden light shined around us, panic set it. What In the world was going on!?! I looked back at Will for reassurance but he looked as dumbfounded as I was.

My mind went everywhere, as a golden string wrapped around my wrist.

I stumbled back words trying to get away from it but to no avail, I ended up sliding onto the ground from off of Will.

"W-Will! What's going on!?!" My voice was filled with uncertainty, more of a squeak than anything, Will sat up fast.

I looked up and the golden string of mine had strung around Wills wrist.

"Maria…" he looked at me his eyes filled to the brim with emotion.

Then the light got brighter and brighter until I couldn't keep my eyes opened.

As the light began to fade I finally got enough courage to open my eyes.

Will was looking at me, a dumbfounded yet overwhelmed look on his face.

I look down at my wrist which the golden string had wrapped around.

There was no string but a bracelet now, it clung to my wrist a comforting warmth radiated off of it. My hands were shaking from my nervousness.

"W-Will what's going on?" I looked at him In slight fear, but confusion gripped my thoughts.

His eyes widened a bit before gentling, he took my hands the moment our skin touched the bracelet got warmer. I looked at it in confusion.

Will let go of one of my hands and cupped my cheek.

"M-Maria, these… these bracelets now bind us by fate."

"W-what?" I looked into his eyes which were full of emotion.

"M-Maria, I-" he went silent.

•Will's POV•

I couldn't think of the right words to explain it to her, I knew that she was scared and didn't know what was going on.

She would most likely not be happy with what happened…My heart slightly cracked but I gave a gentle smile.

"M-Maria, I-I can't really explain it well… Bear with me p-please, the kiss… It trigger the spouse response."

Her eyes widened.

"W-what are you saying?" Her voice quivered shakily.

"W-when two people kiss, and h-have the same feeling for one another… a spouse response is triggered, I- even if it was a accident… We are now connected to each other by t-this bracelet…"

"S-spouse." Realization gripped her face her eyes clouded.

I couldn't take it anymore my heart was breaking, because I knew this wasn't what she wanted.

I rested my chin on the top of her head so she couldn't see my face.

"M-Maria…Y-You can remove t-the

b-bond if y-you so w-wish f-for I-it…" a few tears leaked from my eyes as I gripped her shoulders softly.

"Will, I-"

I really didn't want to be a rejected male, living the rest of my life without a other half…

But I could not force her with something that she didn't want, it would break my own heart more than anything…

•Maria's POV•

This meant these feeling I had for him was really… love?

I couldn't wrap my head around how I felt, I wanted to get back to my own world desperately but…

I was tied to Will, not just by the bond… I realize that I truly love him, searching for him when he wasn't by my side this morning…

The lonely feeling I feel when he isn't near, it all made sense…

I found someone I truly loved, and someone who truly loved me for the first time in my life….

Peps voice echoed around in my mind.

It was only a few days that I had known him but sometimes a few days was all it takes…

Would I throw this away for a world where I had been given back to a orphanage time and time again? Rejected by a foster family so many times I couldn't even count it on my fingers?

Would I really be able to give up the bond, for a world who has done nothing but reject me in turn?

Tears ran down my face, I felt like my eyes were opened to the cruel mess of my previous world.

"Will, I could never reject you…" my voice was weak with tears, as I snaked my arms around his back.

I felt him tense up, but then he wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug.

It took a few minutes before he released me, his eyes were puffy from crying.

I felt a small happiness and I hugged him once more, and took a bold step and kissed his eyes.

He stiffened up and his face reddened.

"Thank you, Will." I said in a soft voice, all of a sudden I felt deathly tired.

His eyes widened as I short of slumped forward.

"S-sorry I forgot to mention. The f-females e-energy I-is the one that is u-used to

c-create the b-bond… I-it takes a while for the fatigue to kick in…Y-you should be fine tomorrow, after resting…" he said hoisting me up I held on to his neck as he stood up.

He heaved a long sigh and started walking.

"Let's go ahead and head back, before Roy has a fit about us taking to long…"

There was silence the whole way back I found myself dozing off as we went…

My mind went back to my old world, before everything went dark…
