"You didn't offend me."
He breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed slightly...
"You said...well, you said... It sounded like you said you loved me."
Funny, it had sounded that same way to him too, even though he had not realized it until the moment she pointed it out. He felt like a fool, knowing how badly she had been hurt in the past, how she did her best to keep others from getting to close... protecting herself from getting hurt again... and here he was, reopening her old wounds...
"I don't have a problem with the romantic evening part. It's...it's...just, uh..." The last time,"
He said nothing, he made no move... he simply listened, she needed to get past her own past... (past her past... now there was another one of those strange concepts he had not had the opportunity to contemplate) ...and he would wait for her to be ready for him to make a move before he did so, perhaps it was the tactician in him telling him to bide his time... mostly it was his feelings for her telling him she needs this if they are ever going to be happy together...
"I was nineteen when I-I-I said yes to, uh, be married. The last time, I heard the words... I love you was when I was twenty. Three days before he ran off. I saved his life twice while we were a couple."
wow, he knew her past with men had been rough, he had no idea it had been that rough... he could not even begin to fathom the pain she carried with her at all times, and worse yet was that he knew no way to heal her from it... at least not yet...
"I don't like repeated history."
Now it was his turn to do something, she was holding him, he felt as though she were holding on for her life, and he was not going to let her lose it... He wrapped his arms around her, and kissed the top of her head before he spoke... and speak he did, although he did not sound like his normal self when he did so. He spoke with a soft, tenderness to his voice, in a half whisper intended for only her to hear...
"History will not be repeated my dear. I do not know if this is love for I have never experienced it before, nor have I ever told anyone that I love them... but I tell you this now, I tell you I love you here and now, know this to be the truth of my feelings and no that no matter what, I will not leave you... This could very well be par'Mach"
he had to think of something to ensure she would or could believe him, he figured the others in her passed made promises to her and broke them, he would not.
"... I make you this vow, I will Never leave you. I will not cause more pain to your heart and I truly wish I could heal the wounds of your past."
He pulled back slightly, in order to look into her eyes, he saw her pain and tears, and he brushed a tear from her cheek with his thumb before drawing her to him and kissing her with all the passion he had for her. He poured all of his emotions and feelings into this one kiss and when it was done, he held her close again, running his fingers through her hair as gently as he could...
"I am here, and I always will be here when you need me... and I have no intention of breaking that promise to you..."
his voice became more of his normal Klingonesque as he spoke these next words, before allowing her to let it sink in...
"Even if I were to fall in battle, no deity in all the cosmos could keep me from being by your side, not even Kahless himself."
and for just that little extra emphasis he added...
"...my par'Mach'kai"
