Notes: U guys gotta try seeing the Second Stage!! % indicates Duero's POV

Parfet couldn't say anything. All those angriness, anxieties and sadness just faded when she opened her room's door. There he was standing in the front door. There. Just there.

"Ano..", they both started it.

Silence

Furious blushing.

Say something, you idiot, after all these kind of year!!, Parfet mentally cursed herself. But she couldn't say anything despite all the things she wanted to talk about with him. Machines, Pexis, all the crew, how he's been, her feeling, and much more . Why?Why?

Do something, Mr. Smartie Pants!, Duero cursed mentally. He sighed. And I thought Hibiki was lousy on making the move. He never realized how much their relationship had grown all these times until they were separated. It's not like that he don't want to contact her at all but for those past months after leaving Nirvana just makes him busy. All those lectures about woman biology in medical school, blasted administrations with the Taraaku government, legal papers and stuff like that. He was really jealous to Hibiki for having Dita by his side all the time. Every time he looked at the couple he was constantly reminded to the hazelnut-haired mech engineer of Nirvana. And now she was in front of him. There. Just there.

"A thousand faces"

It was Parfet. She was blushing there. "I'm sorry?", he said, finally. Parfet smiled to him. "A thousand faces. What were you thinking, doctor?" Duero smiled back, "Nothing. Just my previous year at Taraak."

Silence

"Fun? Was it fun?", Parfet started again.
"..ah....", was the only response. Okay. This is it. Confess the truth..

"I...you..I mean.. imissyouverymuch.."

"What?"

"I --Parfet.. I miss you so much.." Through that last sentence, both of them blushed really red. (think of a boiled man)

"Doctor..no..Duero.."

Silence

Silence

"--Parfet? Why are you crying??!!" , said Duero panicked. Geez, is she angry about this?

"-sobb- I- sobb- I- I MISS YOU TOO DUERO!!!!" And with that her tears flow more and the cry exploded.

Duero didn't know what to do. Except that he should do something comforting her. Slowly, he circled his arms around her body. Parfet was surprised but she soon enjoyed being hugged like that. She resumed, "After-a-sobb-,-sobb- all these times. Ah-sob-tho..-sob- yuhh.. -fohgot-SOBB- mih!" Duero tightened his grip. "No. Not ever", he said reassuringly. "Never, Parfet"

From afar, the boss looked on, smiling. "Yare-yare..Things are getting good aren't they?" Yes. Man and woman will finally coexist again.

The End
