The Lavender field. The place where he used to go stargazing. It's just as beautiful as he remembers. He gently sat down and looked at the beautiful night sky
After a while he began thinking about something. About what Faye said.
"I know there's someone out there for you. So don't give up ok?"
The words have been stuck in his head since the talk
Something about those words made him have some thoughts. And right at that moment is when the realization hit.
He realized that when he and Eva did the Colin case. He did find the one. He just didn't realize it. Yes it's true they didn't start off well but...maybe it can work
Neil sat there for a couple of minutes before finally getting up and heading home. He needed to do something. He just didn't know how.
After he got home. He immediately put on the helmet and went into the terminal.
Once he was inside he yelled out
"Faye!"
"What?!" Faye said appearing
"Um..." Neil didn't know what to say
Seconds passed and each one that passed by, Faye got more confused
"Are you ok?" She asked
"Y-yeah. Great" Neil said giving a thumbs up "I was just wondering you if you wanted to..."
All Faye could do was look at him with a confused face
"If you wanted to hang out?" Neil said with a wide smile on his face. Basically his excited face
"Hang out?" Faye asked confused
"Yeah why not?" Was the only excuse Neil could come up with
"I honestly don't know how they're we're do that" Faye responded "it's not like I can go outside"
"I have a idea" Neil said
Faye became even more confused than before.
All of the sudden, the scenery around them changed from its normal look to the lavender field
"What the-" Faye exclaimed as she looked around "Could you always do that?"
"Yeah, I just never had a reason, but this is a good one" Neil said smiling
Faye didn't how to respond to that as she began to blush a little "Ok?" She began to sit down as Neil sat next to her
"Huh, this is actually pretty nice. I can see why you liked it" Faye said to Neil
"Yeah.." Neil said as he and Faye looked at the stars, they weren't real but they were enough
Neil stared at Faye not saying anything not sure if she knew if he was staring at her or not
"Neil what you're about to do is probably the stupidest or the bravest thing you've ever done" Neil said to himself
"Hey Faye?" Neil asked her
"What?" Faye responded looking at him
"Can I tell you a secret?" Neil said as he couldn't believe he was about to do this
"Sure, what are friends for?" Faye said smiling
"I-uh..never danced with someone before..and I was wondering if..you...um..." Neil stuttered to say it
"You want to dance with me?" Faye asked blushing but not enough where Neil could see it.
"Yeah, it'd be nice" Neil smiled "if it's alright with you, if it's not. I understan-" Neil couldn't finish his sentence as Faye dragged him by the arm
"Cmon"
"O-ok"
They both stood up and looked at each other
"Ready?" Faye asked as she put her arms around his neck
"Y-yeah" Neil said blushing as he put his arms around her waist
After that they started off slow stepping back now and then
Faye was doing alright as Neil was doing alright as well which confused her because of his previous statement, but she decided to go with it
"Heh I thought you said you never danced with anyone before, you're doing great"
"Heh, just wanted an excuse to dance with you" he said smiling as he pulled her closer
Faye blushed harder than before "um..." she said flustered as they continued "this is nice" she said smiling
"Yeah" Neil responded with a smirk
They continued for a while until Neil tripped and they both yelped as Neil landed on top of her
They both opened their eyes and the second they realized what had happened. Their faces turned red
They both looked at each other awkwardly before Faye finally spoke up
"Um...could you um..."
And that's when Neil decided he couldn't take it anymore and immediately kissed her on the lips.
Fayes eyes widened as much as they could...she didn't know what to do. But something in her told her that was better than Colin as she began to kiss back.
They stayed like that for a while and then let go as Neil got off of her
They both didn't know what to say, but then Faye spoke "um..what was that?" She asked her face still red
"I kissed you, what do you think?" Neil said trying to sounding like his comical self
"Neil..." Faye said facepalming
"Sorry, it's just after our talk, I confessed to Eva again and explained to her why I was sad, she understood and we're still friends and when I left, I went to the lavender and there, I realized the true love of my life was..you" Neil said smiling at her
Faye couldn't believe what she just heard, all her existence, she wanted to be with Colin, but knew she couldn't cause of the whole imagination thing, but after Neil helped by letting her live on, she began to see him differently..and maybe it wouldn't be so bad if she did have someone.
She hugged Neil gently "Neil thank you, you were the first person I talked to since Colin and you..you saved me..you let me live, and not even Colin could make me feel this but..you're the only person who makes me feel...real, I love you"
They both smiled at each other. "So now what?" Neil asked
"I don't know, but I know that as long as i exist, I will always love you" Faye said as she looked at the stars
"I really wish I could thank Colin for creating you" Neil said teasing while also looking at the stars
Faye rolled her eyes at that statement but smiled at it as she continued to look at the stars as Neil did the same
They both stared for while not knowing what the future but they both knew they had eachother and when old age finally comes for Neil, he has a way
He'll do anything to stay with her and she'll do the same.
