Over the cores of the next few weeks we fell into a new pattern. Rome and I still went over to each other's houses when we could, though not as frequently as before which was to be expected. My mom made more of an effort to be there for me and forced my dad to do the same, though he was not so enthusiastic about it. It was a bit awkward at first but gradually it started to settle into the pattern.

Things at school also started to mellow out, Rome's used to be friends started to talk to him more as they started to forgive him. But things were good, it seemed that all the drama was over. But then who knew?

The school year was winding down and nobody could wait for summer. I was sitting in my room on the floor and Rome was quietly staring out the dark window. I didn't like it.

"Hey," I said, "What are you doing?" he turned to me briefly before turning back to the window.

"Just thinking," he sighed, sounding strangely somber.

"About what?" I stood up walking over to him.

"It's just... I want to make this time last forever, you know? One second I'll be here, the next who knows. It's just kind of depressing and I mean who knows what will happen! Like, in that one seconds time we could fall out of our friendship, someone could die, the earth could be destroyed, and I couldn't do a thing about it," he slumped foreword, resting his head on the glass.

I stared at him and sighed, patting him on the back, "It's best not to think about things like that. God knows I've wasted enough of my life thinking like that. Whatever happens happened whether you want it to or not. Deal with it."

Rome let out a strangled whine, "Mania, that doesn't really make me feel any better."

I rolled my eyes, "Would you rather have me lie to make you feel better?" He nodded.

Of corse he would rather have a touching moment than suck down a cold hard dose of the truth.

"Well in that case, Romulus prepare yourself for some awful movie style bull shit," I stated sarcastically, "You may not be able to control the flow of time nor what happens within that time but I promise you that we will always be friends, nothing will ever come between us. Till death do us part."

He lifted his head from the window with an amused smile, "What are we married now? Have you come to terms with your deepest love for me without my knowledge?"

I scoffed, "Yeah, something like that."

He laughed, "Well at least I feel a little better now all these depressing thoughts are making be dizzy."

"I wouldn't be surprised if any thought at all made you dizzy."

"Why are you being so mean today- Er... Tonight?"

"Shut up," I snapped, turning to look out the window. A calm silence settled over us and I was beginning to feel awkward when Rome finally spoke.

"Hey, Germania?" he sounded serious again.

I turned to snap at him again but stopped when I realized how close he was. He ducked down and pressed his lips to mine and quickly withdrew, possibly to see my reaction. I blinked in surprise.

"What was that?"

He looked away, "Nothing.. Just nothing."

"Well it obviously wasn't nothing, care to explain?"

He remained silent, staring out the window.

I sighed after a moment and poked him in the shoulder, for whatever reason it must have startled him because he jumped slightly and quickly looked at me. I grabbed his face and pressed his lips to mine, he responded after a moment with much enthusiasm.

I pulled back after a moment and stared at him, and his big Stupid grin. He pulled me into a bone crushing hug.

"To death do us part, eh?" he breathed.

I huffed, "Yeah, till death do us part."

And it didn't feel weird or forced, it Felt natural and I wasn't going to question it. Whatever happens happens, who am I to complain?

The end.
