'What's going on? I was freezing cold but now everything's warm. Am I dead? Mamoru—' Rin's thoughts played in a none sense sequence as her eyes began to flutter open meeting with a white ceiling.
"Ah, you've regained consciousness, this is good," Master Fu stated as he handed the bowl of now cooled tea to Rin.
Rin accepted the bowl and looked to Master Fu before commenting on the contents of the bowl, "willow bark tea."
Master Fu nodded in agreement, "even with the treatment you received, I'm willing to bet there's still some residual pain."
Rin nodded as she delicately sipped at the tea within the bowl.
After three sips however she sat the bowl down.
"Adrien and Ichika, were they able to get the hollow?"
"Yeah, turns out the Akuma was some punk kid who was upset that he couldn't go to a concert," Ichika answered from the door way.
"By the way, you scare me like that again, Snow girl, you won't be waking up," Ichika warned.
"Mind your tone third seat," Rin cautioned good naturedly.
Ichika offered a bright smile before she left the door way and shouted to the rest of the house, "She's up!"
"How long was I out?" Rin asked.
"Not long, a few hours," Ichika replied with a small shrug of her shoulders she cleared her throat.
Rin quirked an eyebrow, Ichika clearing her throat was hardly ever a light topic.
"There's uh—there's someone you should see," Ichika stated as she thumbed towards the doorway.
'They found Therese Agreste? I should debrief her before she insists on seeing her family,' Rin thought as she went to stand up and then fell back onto her behind when she saw the brown haired teenaged boy standing in the doorway.
"Wh-wha-what?"
"H-ho-how a-ar-are y-yo-you- you died. I-it—" Rin stammered before her expression turned to one of pure rage.
Ichika covered her ears when Rin demanded in Japanese, "kono jigoku wa nan'nano?!"
Mamoru's eyes widened at her response, 'I've never heard her swear like that before.'
Rin grabbed the nearest object, which happened to be a knife and threw it at Mamoru.
He ducked while signaling to Adrien and Marinette to stay back. The two super heroes stopped in the doorway and once they heard the racket, Adrien spun Marinette around and lead her back down the hall to one of the guest rooms.
Ichika was pale faced and pressed firmly against a wall while Master Fu had retreated to the kitchen.
Mamoru dodged a few more projectiles before leaping at Rin and grasping her wrists. The woman screamed in a feral fury as she head-butted him while growling out, "Oh I knew I was injured in that attack but this is fucking rich! Nice joke Hawkmoth, ya got me for a second!"
"Kissed you on the roof of the squad eight barracks twenty years ago," Mamoru stated calmly.
Rin stopped struggling against him as the grey storm clouds began to settle behind her eyes and met his warm chocolate eyes.
He wet his lips before continuing, "You had been avoiding everyone all day that day—yet when I sat next to you, you didn't run. We talked, we discussed why you were upset, and we exchanged embarrassing tales of the changes we were going through. You commented on how I was always faster than you. I stated that you were like a wild animal, untamed and unpredictable. Even as fast as I was, your unpredictability made you a force to be reckoned with and impossible to catch. You pushed me over with ease, and th—"
He was cut off by Rin's lips on his own. He hesitated for a moment before he returned her kiss, melding into it. After a moment, both pulled back, grey was scanning brown for any signs of deception, "it is you. How can that be? I lost you."
"Before I died, I told you that I would rather die that day, than live a thousand years without having known you. I also told you that I'd rather give up my life than watch yours end. That's the truth. What I didn't tell you was that I died with no regrets and right now I can't say that's the case. I died without you knowing something you should've seen… Rin—"
He took a deep breath before saying, "—Je suis amoureaux de vous."
His brain turned back on and made him realized he'd switched languages once again.
Rin blinked a bit before giving an amused giggled. It made sense now. Mamoru had always been multilingual but she was not. Multiple times she'd heard him speaking to her in a foreign language and she couldn't figure out why. Now she knew. It was his defense when he was nervous. His brain automatically switched to another language he knew just as well as Japanese.
Well she could now play that same trick, "Mamoru, tu es un idiot, mais tu es mon idiot."
Mamoru blushed a little before giving her a toothy smile and kissing her again, 'this is a whole new pain I'm going to experience, but if it gives her but a few fleeting moments of happiness, it's worth it.'
Cautiously Ichika poked her head around the corner and raised an eyebrow at the pair on the floor. 'Oh geez, that looks so appropriate, yeah just pin her to the floor and kiss her. God you're a moron,' She thought to herself before coughing loudly.
Mamoru felt his face flush as he ended the kiss and whispered something to Rin, she pushed him up and sat on his lap, facing Ichika.
'Yeah, use your girlfriend as a barrier method. Smart move, not,' Ichika thought to herself
Ichika turned to Adrien and Marinette, her eyes grew wide at the sight. Adrien was kissing Marinette and she was returning his kiss, her arms around his neck while his hands rested on the small of her back.
'Someone take over for me! I'm surrounded by lovebirds,' Ichika desperately thought to herself as she shook her head before entering the living room.
"Alright, make out sessions over you two," she quipped.
"Oh yeah, that's totally it," Rin replied, rolling her eyes.
Rin sighed a little as she looked back at Mamoru he nodded his agreement, gently wrapping his arms around Rin's waist, he kissed the nape of Rin's neck before looking to Ichika and asking, "Where's Adrien and Marinette?"
"In the hallway getting started on the next generation," Ichika replied without batting an eye.
Rin gave an unamused glare before shouting, "Alright you two that's enough! Adrien let the girl have some air!"
It took a moment for the two very red faced teenagers to appear in the doorway.
Mamoru eyed his descendent before suggesting, "As much as it pleases me you two are quite willing, perhaps waiting until after university before beginning on the next generation would be best?"
"W-we weren't d-do-doing that," Marinette replied. Rin hadn't thought she could get any more red in the face until she actually did.
Mamoru gave a small chuckle before he out stretched his hand to Adrien and Marinette and introduced himself, "thirteenth squad Lieutenant, Mamoru Kuchiki."
Je suis amoureaux de vous = I'm in love with you.
tu es un idiot, mais tu es mon idiot = You're an idiot, but you're my idiot.
Kono jigoku wa nan'nano = what the fucking hell is this bullshit?
