I Gave Naota's brother a name so I didn't have to keep saying His brother, Naota's brother and all that
Naota awoke with a splitting headache. He rubbed his head, to feel and large bandage wrapped around his forehead. He looked around, and Saw Eri and his brother, Shinji, standing there.
"I don't want to see either of you two." Shinji opened his mouth to speak, but Naota shook his head, causing him to groan.
"Get out now, or I'll have the nurses remove you."
"Naota, I'm sorry this happened, but please let me explain," Eri said quickly.
"No, I don't want to hear from either of you, I don't want to see you again ever." Eri started to cry, and Shinji stood up,
"Fine, if you don't want to se use, you don't have to." With that he stood up and left. Shinji grabbed Eri's hand and pulled her out of the room. Naota sighed and gingerly laid his head down on the pillow beneath him. He then fell into a peaceful sleep.
Naota awoke, with the same headache as before, some pressure on his stomach. He looked down, and saw the familiar strawberry-blonde hair of the girl who came to visit him the night before.
"Hey Haruko." The girl moved slightly,
"Naota, you're awake?"
"No, I'm talking in my sleep." Haruko laughed,
"You've been asleep for two days, I haven't left you since you brother and your girlfriend left your room. What happened?"
"I was driving to work, and I went pass the news station that Eri was working at. I saw the two of them in the parking lot in each other's arms." Haruko nodded,
"That'll put a stop to any relationship." Naota shrugged,
"Well, being asleep gave me some time to think. And I think I want to be with you, and only you." Haruko's eyes widened and looked at him smiling,
"Do you mean you want to marry me?"
"Yes I do, and I want to go back to Japan, just the two of us." Haruko nodded and embraced him as she softly cried.
Naota stretched and turned toward the angel next to him. He smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Wake up baby girl." The young girl stirred slightly and looked up at him.
"Good morning daddy." He smiled and kissed her forehead again. The woman next to the little girl woke up and turned over toward Naota,
"Morning baby."
"Good morning Haruko." They kissed, and the kid between them started to squirm,
"I cant breath you two, let me go." Naoto laughed and got out of the bed. He stretched and walked towards his closet. He turned around and smiled,
"I can't believe that I had two angels in my bed last night." His daughter giggled and Haruko laughed,
"That was real sappy Naota." He chuckled and looked over to the picture of his brother, it had been two years since the boating accident that took his life. Naota's eyes darkened as they always do when he sees that picture, he had never fargave him or Eri, and it eats him up inside. Haruko grabbed him around the waist,
"He loved you, and you know it, Eri wil forgive you eventually for never talking to him."
"Eventually huh?" Haruko laughed and kissed him.
"Daddy, you're gonna be late for wor if you don't hurry up." Naota nodded and got dressed. He stretched again, and kissed his wife and his daughter. He smiled and walked out the doo rof his house, and toward the rest of his life.
