A/N: Chapter number 29. This is going to be a little shorter than the other chapters.
Rosette only stared at him. The longer she just stood there though, the more bad and nervous did Chrono feel. Had he done the right thing? Should he just have stayed quiet about his feelings and stayed her best friend?
He couldn't see her in the eyes; he just looked at the micro in his hands.
The blonde snapped out of her daze and shook her head, still not believing that he had really admitted his feelings for her in front of all those people. It only showed her how serious he was about it.
A soft smiled spread over her face and she slowly moved from her position and over to the shy boy. She never thought of him as a shy boy though. He had been the one pulling her out of her lonely, sad state.
She placed a hand on his arm "You really mean it?" she asked, making him nod again "I-I do"
"Oh Chrono, your so sweet" she whispered and rested her head against his arm "That's the sweetest thing somebody has ever done for me"
"You're worth it" he whispered back "You mean a lot to me…"
Rosette smiled softly at that "You mean a lot to me too Chrono" she whispered "You're my best friend… and… if you want to be more than friends… you're the one to decide it"
He draped an arm around her "Really?" he asked "You would?"
People around them were smiling warmly at them. Couples embraced each other while watching them and an older woman even became tears in her eyes. The band members watched them happily.
Rosette nodded "You're not like Aion…" she said "And you'll never be… I trust you"
Chrono smiled "I promise to treat you better than Aion" he said, both not noticing that their faces were moving slowly towards each other.
"I trust you" she smiled "But if you should ever break that promise, I'll give you the same treatment like Aion" she felt him shiver "I-I'll keep the promise… definitely… I… I love you R-Rosette" he stammered, making the girl laugh "I hear your words and I won't forget them, and… I love you too Chrono, I thank you for everything you have done for me" she whispered and closed the distance between them.
She tensed up at first, but then slowly relaxed. He was absolutely the opposite of Aion. The warmth returned, making the ice melt away. The emptiness vanished and filled with pure happiness. She wrapped her arms around his neck, while he draped his arms around her form.
The audience were applauding and cheering. The band was whistling happily.
When the couple broke the kiss, the bartender ran up to them and wrapped his arms around them, pulling them into a great big hug, almost suffocating them… again.
He cried out his happiness and made Rosette and Chrono sweat drop. Rosette pointed at him with an index finger, but Chrono just shrugged.
Fred stepped onto the stage and took Chrono's micro "Isn't that just a perfect happy end folks? I am so happy for them" he wiped a tear from his eye "Now… LET'S CELEBRATE, WOOO" he yelled and the band started playing the song "Celebration"
Fred freed the couple from the uber happy bartender.
Rosette and Chrono retired to a more peaceful place at the bar, away from the dance floor. The bartender was behind the bar again where he belonged.
"When did you find out you loved me?" Rosette asked smiling.
"Well… I think it was… after the episode where you found me in the bathroom" he replied
"Before you found out Aion was cheating on me?"
He nodded "Yea… guess I was pretty lucky huh?"
She laughed "You were" she said "I really owe you for doing so much for me Chrono" she continued "Just tell me what to do okay?"
Chrono chuckled "I couldn't just let a girl sit all alone and cry her eyes out" he replied "I just had to help you, you don't have to owe me something"
"I feel bad if I don't make up with you for your help though"
Chrono smiled at her "Well… you said yes, I think you don't owe me anything anymore now" he replied and took her hand in his.
She smiled at him "Maybe you're right…" she whispered and rubbed the tip of her nose against the side of his. He chuckled "You're like a kitten you know that?" he said "I never knew you could be like that"
She laughed "I have told you before… you don't know me as good as you think" she smiled and winked.
"Any surprises waiting for me in the future then? I don't want anything bad happening to me" he said in fake fear.
Rosette chuckled "Don't worry, I'll warn you"
Fred came over to them "Hello lovebirds" he said "So? How are ya feeling?"
"I'm great, aren't you too Rosette?" Chrono asked smiling. Rosette nodded "I'm wonderful" she replied "I haven't felt so good since… a long time"
Chrono couldn't stop smiling and pressed the back of her hand against his lips "Me neither" he said
Fred smiled at them "I… guess I should go back on stage then" he said "I'm happy for you" then he disappeared and left them alone.
The bartender watched them, a great sigh escaping his lips when he leaned his chin in his hand, resting his elbow on the desk "I just loooove happy endings" he sighed "You first know you have a heart when it's aching" he didn't know from where he had that, but he didn't care, he was too happy.
A/N: Ending? It's not the end yet though :D There will be more chapters. Until then.
