"It was us. It was us."
"Oh, my darling."
"Oh, my sweetheart."
"I love you so much."
"Oh, my baby."
"Noah, Noah."
"I love you, Angel."
"Misaki, What are you watching?" Oh great, Usagi-san caught me. I can't let him see the tears. Damn it, where's that tissue box gone? I was sure it was next to me.
I look up slowly to see Usagi-san holding the nearly empty tissue box I was looking for, as I go to grab it off him, he simply lifts it out of my reach.
Why does he have to ruin the ending, it's the best bit!
"Usagi-san, gi-give me the t-tissues back!" Great my voice cracked, I looked down to avoid the incredulous gaze of my lover. I couldn't believe that I had let my guard down; I knew he got worried when I cried. But for once was crying for a good reason. Whatever the reason, he's not going to let this go till I tell him the reason. No matter how embarrassing.
"What happened to me?"
"Nothing. You just went away for a little while."
"How much time do we have?"
"I'm not sure. Last time it was no more than five minutes."
Surprisingly, he gave me the tissue box back without any questions and left me to watch the rest of the movie in peace. It did make me wonder though, why didn't he ask why I was crying? And unfortunately, this film always makes me have thoughts about me and Usagi-san's relationship. Bad thoughts.
Maybe he didn't ask because he doesn't care anymore. Or maybe he's just fed up with my constant crying at stupid things.
Once the credits started to roll, Usagi came out of his study and sat next to me on the other end of the couch. I couldn't help but think about those thoughts again, but this time I was interrupted.
Usagi-san passed me something, and when I looked down at what he had slid across the couch a book was there. It was hardback and very expensive looking. It had nothing on the front, but when I picked it up and opened the cover I gasped. What I read shocked me, but definitely in a good way; a fantastic, brilliant, loving way.
'Our Notebook
To my dearest Misaki,
Happy birthday, darling,
I hope you like your present,
Maybe you can read it to me sometimes,
Love Usagi.'
Reading the handwritten inscription made tears well up in my eyes yet again. I looked up at Usagi-san and found him looking at me with a slight smile on his face.
"Misaki, do you think our love can create miracles?" I couldn't believe what he had said, Usagi-san had quoted what Allie had said at the end. All I could think of to say was what Noah had said.
"Yes, I do. That's what brings me back to you each time." My voice was cracking at nearly every syllable and was barely a whisper but I knew he heard it.
"Misaki," he started to lean over and pecked me on my forehead, leaving his lips lingering on my skin he carried on, "Do you think our love could take us away together?"
By now the tears were already spilling from my eyes in silent waterfalls, "I think our love can do anything we want it to." I could feel him smile against my forehead, and his arms wrapped around me pulling me onto his lap, "I love you." And I knew that that wasn't quoted, I just buried my face into the crook of his neck and mumbled, "I love you to… maybe…"
A/N: Short, I know, and I know I'm supposed to be writing the next chapter of Little Green Pills, but I really am stuck on inspiration for that story right now. And I will always be a one-shot writer at heart, even though I currently have two stories going on.
Anyway, the film Misaki was watching was 'The Notebook'. If you haven't watched it. Go watch it. Now. Seriously, it's a good film.
(BTW the parts in bold and italics was the film playing in the background. And just italics was Usagi's handwriting.)
Comments are much loved ^_^
