I love you and I can't be without you

*Shou Rong is in their hotel room, Shou Rong is playing their guitar a bit and RVW walks in with some food for the both of them. They both got fish and chips and RVW sets them on the side table. Shou Rong gets up and hugs RVW*

Shou Rong: You always knew how to make me less nervous.

RVW: I mean, this is a big match. For both of us. I'm gonna bring the arm of Violet Evans home and mount it on the wall, you are going to fight Riot, probably to the death...are you prepared for that?

*The usually confident Shou Rong has a more somber look on their face. RVW notices and sits with Shou. Shou rest their head in the lap of RVW and RVW comforts Shou*

Shou Rong: I want to beat the hell out of Riot but...my neck...it isn't going to get stronger...Riot doesn't look like they're gonna hold back. I'm just...I don't want to be paralyzed or worse. I don't want to lose this. I don't want to lose you, my family...my mom couldn't function...if she knew...her daughter was confined to a wheelchair.

*RVW feels a lump in her throat and she takes a deep breath*

RVW: I promise you Shou, you'll be ok. You'll make Riot say I quit, I'm going to rip off the arm of Violet Evans and we can celebrate afterwards. Hell we can go to a pub here get some drinks, just take the edge off.

*Shou Rong sits up, their eyes looking puffy a bit from the quiet sobbing. Shou grabs RVW's hand*

Shou Rong: Promise me Rada.

RVW: Anything. Anything Shou.

*Shou and RVW firmly grasp each other's hands*

Shou Rong: Promise me, that no matter what happens...you will be there for me. Despite everything that has happened...I love you and I can't be without you...

RVW: Shou, I will be there for you...I will never leave you. I...

*A single tear falls down the face of RVW and she takes a deep breath*

RVW: I love you, Shou Rong!

*Shou Rong grabs RVW by the face and kisses her on the lips, they break apart quickly and both look a bit bewildered*

Shou Rong: I-I'm sorry...It was heat of the moment and...if tonight is going to be my last night then...I wanted to share something special with you...

*RVW's face is red in embarrassment*

RVW: No no no...I didn't mind it, and I knew you liked me I just...wasn't ready. Hey Shou, just know...I'll always be by your side. Now lets eat and rest up, we got big matches coming soon.
