Hi guys! This is my third fanfic everrrr yay! x) It's my first time writing an Ib fanfic so I do hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ib or its characters, I only own the random characters and plot lines I make up myself.


Chapter 1: Macaroons

Ib sat in a café all alone drinking a cup of hot chocolate. She stared out the window as snow fell, watching the tiny fluffs of white that, when observed closely, made intricate designs one wouldn't really expect. Ib wasn't expecting much, she had only come after school wanting to escape the cold outside, the hot chocolate helped warm her up as she sipped it slowly.

"I'd like four strawberry macaroons please." Ib heard a man order at the counter, she had always wanted to try macaroons but she wanted to wait until she had gotten them with Garry. It had been four years since then and she hadn't seen him yet but she still hoped. She wasn't paying attention to the time as she thought about him and everything they had gone through so she had stayed longer than expected.

It was now 6pm and someone walked through the door, he was a regular customer ever since he first tried the macaroons at this café. The smell of coffee and the warmth of the place enveloped his shivering form causing him to smile in content. He stood in line and looked around the place as he waited, normally he just took his items home but he wanted to stay for a little bit today. There weren't any empty seats, everyone was either sitting together in a group or as a couple except for one girl, but she wasn't facing him so he could only see the back of her and noticed that she had long dark brown hair reminding him of a certain 9 year old he met a while ago.

He ordered a coffee and four macaroons, two strawberry and two coconut. Afterwards he looked around, there still weren't any empty seats so he was about to leave but as he walked by the girl he noticed how familiar she looked to the girl he had been looking for these past four years

"Ib?" he asked. She looked up at him after hearing her name and gasped staring at him wide eyed.

"G-Garry…." He smiled at her as he placed his food down and she hugged him tightly. "Oh my god, I've missed you." She said quietly.

"I've missed you too." Garry said, there were tears in his eyes and she wiped them away as he pulled back. They both sat down on opposite sides of the booth so they were facing each other. "Would you like some macaroons?" He asked.

"Of course." Ib said smiling at him. "I remember when you promised me we'd eat them together some day."

"Now I can finally act out on that promise." Garry chuckled. "Oh! I have something for you." He dug through his pockets.

"What is it?" Ib asked curiously.

"I've been carrying this with me everywhere in case I found you again." He said as he pulled a piece of cloth out of his pocket and handed it to her. She unfolded it feeling the familiar fabric and paused when she saw the embroidered "Ib" on the bottom corner.

"My handkerchief." She said happily. "Wait…but we'll see each other again after this right?"

"Yes quite often if that's okay." Garry said. They ate their macaroons and caught up with each other after having not seen each other in so long but now they wouldn't have to worry about that because both of them made a silent promise to each other, they promised not to lose each other ever again.


Thanks for reading! Please review if you'd like, I'd enjoy knowing how I did. I should have the next chapter up soon.
