Beep…beep…beep…beeep…
…
A crisp breeze blew through the air, tousling the raven colored hair of the blue eyed man.
Naru slowly reached his hand out and touched the smooth, cool surface of the shiny stone slab. He closed his eyes and gave a long sigh, falling to his knees.
The whole time the man's hand stayed on the gravestone.
Gravestone, he thought wryly, I never thought you would leave me…
He could feel the knees of his pants growing wet as the morning dew soaked through the dark fabric.
…
Beep…beep…beep…beeep…
"Mai!" Naru called out to the girl on the hospital bed.
The beep got longer and Naru panicked. Doing the first thing he could think of, he let go of the girl's hand and started shaking her shoulders.
"Damn it! Wake up Mai!"
…
Naru opened his eyes and looked up to the sky as a flock of startled birds took off from their perch on a nearby cast iron fence. Their melodious chirps were somewhat claming to the man.
He looked back down at the engraved stone and ran his fingers over the imprinted letters, tracing every one.
"Three years…" he whispered to himself, "You've been gone three years…"
He trailed off as he heard a somewhat distant set of footprints coming in his direction.
As his finger traced the last curved letter in the carved name, Naru smiled.
"By the way," he started when he say the bright glisten come from his left hand, "I'm married now."
The footsteps came to a halt right behind him and he felt a familiar and loving hand on his shoulder.
He smiled again and rose from his kneeling position.
He turned and looked at his beautiful wife and pecked her on the cheek.
After they both gave one last glance and final respect the grave, he turned to is wife and whispered in her ear. "Come on, love."
The brunette woman blushed and smiled, "I'll probably never get used to you calling me that…Naru," she said and giggled.
"Mai…I quickly got used to you calling me 'Naru' for five years, so you should be able to get used to the word 'love,' love," he said with a smirk.
Mai turned, still blushing, and started stalking off towards their car until…
She didn't see the little tree root protruding from the dirt walkway.
Thwamp!
She landed face first, her skirt flipped up just enough, giving her husband quite a nice view. Naru held in a laugh as his wife jumped to her feet, dusted her self off, and tried (and failed) in acting nonchalant as though nothing had happened.
Naru went up behind her as she quickened her pace in embarrassment.
"You wore the red ones today, huh?" he whispered in her ear with a large smirk. She froze in her place and Naru took off in front of her, towards their car.
The brown eyed girl's face couldn't have gotten any brighter.
Naru chose this moment to turn around and his smirk grew at the sight of her. He walked back to the woman and tilted her chin up to look at him.
"Oh look Mai, you're cheeks are matching your underwear," he teased.
Mai huffed and narrowed her eyes before quickly smacking the man over the back of the head. "Shut up baka!!"
Naru chuckled a bit and bent down capturing her lips with his. He pulled back after a moment and looked her in the eyes.
"It wasn't an insult," he said. "You know red is my favorite color…but I must say…" he trailed off in a voice that left Mai curious as to what he was thinking.
"What?" she muttered.
"Personally, I think you look better without any underwe-"
He was unable to finish his sentence as his wife, once again, smacked him upside the head.
"BAKA!" she yelled and ran towards the car, her cheeks bright red again.
Naru smirked. Oh how he loved teasing his wife.
His footsteps soon faded away from where the familiar gravestone lay.
A chuckling ghost of a man who looked very much like our favorite narcissist shook his transparent head as he stood beside his grave.
"I'm glad you're happy, Noll…you'll be even happier once Mai tells you the news she just got from her doctor," Gene smirked sadistically.
He looked down at the gravestone…
-EUGENE DAVIS-
-BELOVED SON AND BROTHER-
-WE LOVE YOU-
…
Beeeeep…Beep…beep…beep…
Chocolate brown eyes fluttered open and locked with a pair of cool blue ones.
"Naru…"
"Mai, you're awake."
"…You really did save me…"
"…I promised I would, didn't I?... "
