A young boy with tan skin stood in front of me, he clung to his mother's skirt so tight, it's like he was afraid to be seen as he tried to hide behind her. My daddy had us move a lot because of work stuff, today's place is called New...Orleans? I think that's what he called it. Me and Molly were really excited to make new friends, our big brother wasn't so thrilled about it, but he's always grumpy anyways. Now I'm standing here in front of this lady with really dark skin and her son that I think is my age, the lady seems nice, she's really sweet! The boy hasn't talked at all though, and he seems like he's scared of me, what's wrong with him? I run over to him with a big smile trying to tell him I'm friendly, "hi! I'm Anthony! What's your name?" I introduced excitedly. The boys eyes widen when I speak to him, though I couldn't really figure out why. Was he scared? Has he just never heard an Italian accent before? I look up as the lady laughs, her hand reaching down to pet the strange boys hair, "go on dear, introduce yourself to the nice boy" she encourages the boy. He seems to gulp as he looks at me, "my name is Alastor" he answers timidly, my eyes widen when I hear his voice. "I like your voice!" I blurt out without thinking, and Alastor's face turns red, it makes him look really cute!

  I'd see Alastor and his mom all the time after that, I never met his dad, but his mom just told me he's busy so I didn't really think about it much. Alastor is super cute though, he really likes his mom which is already really cute, but he also really likes to cook, which is like-ultra cute! One time I tried the dish called jambalaya he made, it was so good! I told him he'd make a real good wife when he grows up, his cheeks turned so red, and it was really cute! Alastor is really cute and pure, so I decided when we grow up I'll marry Alastor and make him my bride, that way no one can taint Alastor's innocence ever! "Alastor!" I called out through the flower field we were in, I kneeled down in front of him and slipped a flower ring I made on his finger. He looked up to me confused, "when we're grown ups, let's get married! You'll be my wife, and I'll stay with Alastor forever and ever" I said happily. Alastor's cute face lights up red as he stares into my eyes, "p-promise?" Alastor stutters in the cutest way. I smile and lock our pinkies together, "pinky" I say softly, locking my eyes with his. I don't think Alastor understands very well, I don't really understand marriage well either, but if I marry Alastor I can see him forever and keep him safe always. If I can protect Alastor's innocence forever, I'd be really happy.

  My face dropped when my dad said we were going to be moving again, why did I think we'd actually stay this time? That was so stupid of me! What am I going to tell Alastor? I promised I'd be with him forever! I shake and start to cry, Molly hugged me and tried to comfort me but I was feeling so sad, I made a promise to Alastor I couldn't keep. When I told Alastor I was moving away, he got so upset, it broke my heart to see him like that. He started crying and rambling about how I pinky promised and how you can't break a pinky promise, it wasn't allowed. I hugged him tight and cried with him, feeling just as hurt that I caused a frown to appear on his sweet face. I pet his hair and looked him in the eyes, "Alastor, I swear...we'll meet again, I won't break this promise ever, and if I break it...than I'm a total idiot for never coming back for you" I say softly. Alastor smiles softly, his soft brown eyes staying locked with mine, "you promised" he reminds, "I know" I agree. Unfortunately, that's the last I got to see of Alastor, having to move back to Italy for awhile after that. Everyday, I missed Alastor more and more, until that's what I spent most of my time doing.

  I woke up in my bed at the hotel, wiping the tears from my face, that always happened when I dreamed about my first love, seemed even death couldn't change that. Looks like I broke another promise, I just hope he grew up and became a better man than me, that he didn't let the cruel world taint that innocent spirit of his. With a heavy sigh, I change into my usual clothes and put on my usual persona as I exit my room, only to see the strawberry pimp with something shiny gleam on his left hand. "Hey smiles! Ya gettin' married or somethin'?" I yell out teasingly, trying to mask the pain in my chest. It felt like I lost my chance, they had the same name, it was like I lost him all over again in a way. "Oh this?" Alastor asked showing me the ring fashioned to resemble a flower, "well you see my dear I've been engaged since I was about seven or so" Alastor answers in a soft tone. I choked on air as he continues, "I proposed to me with this ring made of a flower he made, said he would make me his wife, it was a peculiar but-charming gesture" Alastor chuckles. Tears start to fall down my face as everything clicked together, and before I knew what I was doing, I was cupping the deer demons face. I looked in his for several moments, just trying to process that...I found him, he's here, right here in my claws. "Shit Al...I still think you'd make a great wife" I say softly. Alastor's eyes widen, my life's going down to meet his as I kissed him with all the pent up love from all those years ago, him soon melting into the kiss. Everyone always says childhood crushes never last, but in the end, even after we both died, we made it last.
