It was two years later.

Claus, who was still sixteen due to age blockers, stood on the back porch of his house, admiring the scenery of the Sunshine Forest. This was his favourite spot, a place where he could be alone and peaceful. The villagers had happily welcomed him back into the village, despite knowing that he'd taken part in kidnapping them.

Flint, sadly, passed away the previous year due to old age. However, the two brothers, Lucas and Claus, lived happily together in their farmhouse on a cliff. He sighed and stretched his arms above him, groaning in satisfaction. Claus made his way down the hill and into the main part of the village, saying hello to every passing villager. He continued walking until he stopped in front of Hinawa's grave. Claus often wondered if he should make a grave for Ness. It had been two years, and he still hadn't returned. Claus had given up, and he finally assumed he was dead.

However, on that spring day, that changed. Claus sat at his mother's grave, laying down an offering of flowers he'd picked earlier. However, behind him, a loud warping noise alrted him, and a few footsteps. Upon sending the strong PSI aura, Claus smiled. It was him.

"Claus Dolray." Said the spunky, warm voice behind him. Claus stood up and turned around, not surprised to see his beloved standing there. He put a hand on his hip and grinned smugly.

"Mister General." He approached Ness and winked at him.

"Don't call me that, honestly." Snickered Ness, lightly pushing Claus.

"That reminds me, I still don't know your name." Reminded Claus. Ness scoffed.

"If I told you," He said, wrapping his arms around Claus' waist and touching his forehead with his own, "you'd probably just fall harder for me and my charming good looks."

"You wish," Sneered Claus, snaking his arms behind the other's neck, "Come on, I'm curious. Introduce yourself."

"Call me Ness. Ness Wyman." Was the answer.

"Ness...interesting name. I like it." Said Claus, teasing Ness' lips with his finger.

"I knew you would," Replied Ness, blinking affectionately, "I missed you. I'm never leaving you again."

"Damn right you'll never leave me again. I was so bloody lonely all the time, and annoyed with my brother's constant talking. Hopefully I can put up with your 'stubborn-ness." Claus smirked.

"I'm swooning, you're just so funny. Pucker up, lover boy."

Claus felt himself fall back from the sudden force of the kiss, but let himself lay back with Ness' body pressed against him. He grabbed a handful of the other's black hair and ran his fingers through it. Completely captivated by the other's lips against his own, he let his eyes close. At this point, nothing mattered.

All that mattered was that they were finally together. They were no longer two professional, cold-hearted leaders of an army. For all they cared, they were just two teenagers in love. And they were perfectly happy with that.

They broke apart after a while. For a while, they just laid there, gazing at each other with barely open eyes. Finally, Claus decided to speak up.

"Hey, Ness?"

"Hm?"

"Now...this is just me, but maybe in front of my mom's grave isn't the best place to do this whole reunion thing?" Claus sat up and gestured to the tombstone before them.

"Oh...hey, look at that. You know, it's funny that this is the first thing you think of doing after us reuniting about two years after escaping a life of hell." Ness said, finally noticing the stone..

"What can I say? I've missed you. Care to stay, my General?" Claus grinned, eyes narrowed suggestively, implying that he meant forever. Ness stuttered, embarrassed, but finally got ahold of his words.

Ness purred, "At your service, my Commander."

The End

Thank you for reading this fic! It's pretty short, I know. My fics in the future will be longer, I promise. I'm better at writing short stories than long stories.

So now that this fic is done, be sure to check out my newest one, "Plot Twist". This one is a NessCas one this time. :)

Remember, if you are ever in need of a fanfiction cover, I am a decent artist who is willing to do them free of charge!

Cheers,
