You can still feel her heartbeat, the way she looked at you and smiled. Your hand around her waist and neck, as you softly meet her lips. That was last week, for it had been your anniversary. Looking back at that it makes your stomach feel weak. Some things just aren't clear to you. How could someone you've known for so long suddenly disappear out of nowhere like that? She's technically here just.. Not breathing. A sharp pain hits you. Remembering the last time she was still here. A soothing Saturday night.

"It's such a beautiful night isn't it?" Aradia says, leaning in close to you and peering at the sky. You smile, putting your hand through her hair, softly stroking it.

"It's always beautiful when I'm with you." You say, kissing the Megido's forehead, taking a deep breath of relief. These nights were always beautiful. You could simply sit back and relax with the girl of your dreams. Not a fear in the world. Not a fear of losing her.

"Mmm, Hey Sollux?" She says all of a sudden, gazing up into your mismatched eyes.

"Yes, Aradia?" you respond softly, looking back at her through your glasses, feeling your heartbeat starting to rush slightly.

"I can't wait for the future. In five years we're going to be married, in two years we're going to be in college, and in 10 years who knows what's going to happen. I know I say this a lot, but I'm glad I met you. Do you remember that first week of highschool?" Aradia says, lying down in the grass, pulling you down with her. You chuckle, adjusting your glasses before replying.

"How could I not? You saved my life that first week after that almighty Ampora shoved me into that locker for an hour." You laugh a little, even though at the time of that event you were deeply intimidated, meeting Aradia had completely changed that. "Getting stuck inside that locker was probably the best thing Eridan's ever done to me." You continue, a little grin on your face. She giggled, wrapping her arms around your thin, slender body.

"I guess it was, wasn't it? When I heard a voice coming from one of the lockers I knew I had to help you. Even though I got my first detention for coming to class late, it was all worth it to meet you. My King Bee." You smiled, kissing her lips, taking your time.

Everything seems like a blur for you now. You suddenly snap back into reality, looking around your surroundings. If only you could relive that precious moment. She belonged to you; you were suddenly changed his mind and took her away to his kingdom. Maybe she's happier there.. I wonder how she's doing right now? Is she grieving her own death or having the time of her life. So many unanswered questions.

You turn on your phone, unlocking your password and clicking on messages. You scroll down and tap on Aradia's contact, looking back at her past messages. Even though she couldn't text you back, it might just bring you comfort. You began to text her a message.

Hi Aradia, it's me Sollux. You may or may not receive this, but that's ok. I just wanted to say how much I miss you and how close I want to be with you. You're always going to be my lover no matter what happens.

I love you. 3

You sigh, soon sending the message and laying back on your bed, placing your phone on the nightstand. It suddenly lets out a little buzz, notifying you of a new message, but from who? You quickly flick on the phone, checking to see who had left you a message.

Your heart drops, seeing as Aradia had texted you back.

Sollux? Sollux Captor? Is it really you? This is Damara Megido. You may remember me from that family dinner. I know how you feel. You're devastated over what had happened. This is giving us all a heartache, but we can get through this together. Our family would be honored if you came over tonight. We understand if you're not up to it.
