A/N: Hello again everyone! I realize that your patience with me has probably run its course, and I don't blame you at all. So, excuses! I went on a small trip, came back late, lost my password, emailed it to my AOL account, lost my AOL password, found it again, wrote my story, and tried to mail it to my beta. I mail it from my yahoo though, and I lost my yahoo password too. Oops. So here is Magelet and Mage!
Numair left his tree and paced in front of it. Mira was incapable of keeping her mouth shut, unless it served her goals. Now she had told his biggest secret to the worst possible person she could tell it to; the only person who didn't already know. Why Great Gods above did she have to tell Daine?
Loose lipped wasn't usually a good way to describe the Immortal sitting by a hot spring, staring at the Wildmage. She mostly kept to herself, but in her heart she knew that Daine needed to know.
"Please don't joke around, not about that." Daine's whispered plea carried to where Numair walked, startling him. What reason could she have for not believing Mira?
"I do not joke. It is not seemly for an Immortal of my status, so I don't do it. Daine, everyone knows. Everyone. Numair believes that you are too young for him, that you want a man closer to your own age. He said that if he told you, you would trick yourself into believing that you love him. You would trick yourself into marrying him and you would regret it later."
"No, no, no! Stop lying Mira!"
"I'm not. Look Daine, Numair loves you. What reason would I have to tell you differently? If you don't believe me, ask him yourself. He stands on the other side of those bushes, listening to us." Numair heard a rustle of leaves and a crack of twigs and Daine stood in front of him.

"Is it true or is Mira just being Mira?" Daine didn't want to mess around, she wanted to know. No, she needed to know.
"Magelet, this is hardly the time to discuss this. Lets wait until we are at the palace in private."
"Damn it Numair! Do you love me or don't you?"
"Yes Magelet, I do."
E/N: Veeery short, I know. Well guess what? It's the end of the story! le gasp Before you all form a mob and kill me, hear me out. This is the end of Perfect Torture, not the end of Magelet and Mage. Magelet and Mage is the series, Perfect Torture is the story. Now, I need help deciding the title for the new story (I was thinking Renewed Hope) so put up suggestions in your comments hint. I am going to start writing that now. And here, incase you're wondering, is how it plays out:
Magelet and Mage: Series Title.
Perfect Torture: Numair confesses his love.
Renewed Hope: (Or whatever the title will be) Numair and Daine court/date.
Divine Comedy: (I have set that title, it will never change) Numair and his numerous attempts to get Daine to marry him.
New Life: (Probably won't be the title) Numair and Daine are married, with no kids.
Reason for Living: (may be the title) Numair and Daine have kids, and try their hand at being parents.
What goes up must come down: (Or the God's Way) All good things must end.
