Phae watched as the waitress came in with the large tray of food placing it on the table. She smiled and blushed as Junpei moved closer so they sat touching side by side.
"Would you mind helping me again...at least a little or maybe they have a fork?" she asked hopefully. "I'm sorry this probably isn't going as good for you as you had hoped. I never used chopsticks...I'm sorry."
She lay her head on his shoulder. Truth was she would rather not eat and just stare into his eyes. But he had taken her out on this date and she wanted to make the most of it.

Junpei laughed a bti to himself and grabbed the chopsticks, what to try first, maybe some salmon? Deciding to just close his eyes and grab Junpei picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a peice of food. Openign his eyes and feeling a head on his shoulder Junpei smiled, tuna it was.
"Why would I give you a fork when you're at my mercy now?"
He teased as he brought the food up, taking a bite out of the tuna and rice he held it over for her. He had to admit that it was proving fun to have her like this, just the two of them eating together liek this. Junpei wondered how many more times it was going to come to this, but decided he would give her chopstick lessons later. For now he was having fun doing this and being with the woman he loved. That was a thought he never thought he would have, ever. He had figured that he would be gone before he found someone like Phae, that was the one thing he feared to tell her still, but he also didn't want to hide anything from her. Sighing Junpei set the chopsticks down after she had taken her bite and pulled her into his lap rather suddenly.
"There's something that you need to know about me Phae..."
Taking a deep breat Junpei closed his eyes and let the air go before taking another breath, this was going to be hard.
"My lifespan.. is limited to only a few more years... because of my magic. I.. I don;t want you to think this makes me love you any less... but my life.. it isn't even going to match yours...."
Junpei lowered his head, hiding his eyes behind his bangs, the truth was that if he looked at her he would probably break down and cry. He loved her so much that he didn't want to cause her that kind of pain. She might leave him now, but, Junpei knew lettign her know now was better than later.

Phae took a bite of the food he offered her and it was delicious. She closed her eyes briefly savoring the flavors. But she opened them when she heard him sigh. This unlike others was a sigh that meant he didn't want to tell her something but must. She looked up but he suddenly pulled her into his lap. The look on his face alone meant this was serious.
Oh no...he doesn't like me...no wait he's tired of me...no it's something bigger than that. She looked up into his eyes and listened as he told her the worst news imaginable. He was dying but from what she didn't know. Her heart plummetted into her stomach and she was near tears. Quickly as she was used to keeping her emotions in tied them down quickly so he wouldn't even see a flicker of the pain that she felt at the moment.
She swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat and forced the tears back into the depths of her heart where she could let them out later when she was alone and not ruining a date. She finally got herself composed enough to look into his eyes. Her heart stopped beating at that exact moment and the tears came back again but she fought them with her will power.
"Well then, we'll have to make the best of what time you have left." she said happily and smiling. "Every day should have something special in it so you can live your life to its fullest before that happens."
She carressed that handsome face trying to memorize it afraid that one day she would forget the man she loved more that the world. How could she live without this man now that she met him...how could she live being so lost without his love. She reached and poured him some more tea and offered him some.
"Here, to wash down the fish." she said with a bright smile. Inside her heart fell apart slowly. She loved him so much..a day much less a life without him would surely kill her. She swallowed hard. "A-are you sick is that it?" she asked her voice quivering only slightly but she hoped that he wouldn't notice.

Junpei's head stayed down as she spoke, his eyes closed tight, he didn't want to admit that there was no known way to solve this. At the offering of tea he accepted the cup slowly and drained the drink in a single quick gulp. He set it down behind his love and then blinked away a couple of tears, he really did need to be strong for both of them, like she was.
Looking up he smiled at her, soft and loving, his eyes saying he wouldn't give up, not now, not now that he had her to live for. When she spoke of a sickness he shook his head adn then spoke, voice low and somber.
"No.. it's my magic.. it draws on my soul when i use it. I have about 8 years left at the rate im going now, as of late i've been using magic more though, to protect my friends and family."
Junpei suddenly leaned forward and pressed his forehead against hers lightly, he had just felt the urge to be closer to her.
"I am trying to find a way to extend my life out, but as of now the only solution seems to be a merging with a summon I have. I don't want to explore that option because I might lose to his personality... and then.. I wouldn't be the person you love."
Junpei realised that they had been sitting here for almost a half hour now, just like this, the time he had spent silent and the time they talked had just flown by. Not caring Junpei looked her in the eyes, a soft smile on his lips.
"Phae... let's go back...."

His magic? That was what was doing this...how ... how could it. She almost broke down right there but she stayed strong she had to be strong for him to show him that she didn't mind. That she didn't mind knowing she would lose him. God...would she survive??
"We'll search together. I'll do anything I can to help you. We can research and talk to people someone must know something." she said brightly holding onto that hope. "We can, the two of us together we can fight this."
Silence insued for a while both lost in their own thought and each others eyes. She loved him and yes, he might die....that's right MIGHT...but eight years was not long but it was longer than some got. She was going to make his eight years as good as she possibly could.
"Phae...lets go back..." she heard him say. It broke her from the trance she was in and she looked up into his eyes momentarily and smiled.
"Yes, I'm really not hungry but I want to spend more time with you." she said standing and smoothing down her dress. "Let's go."
