Sorry for not updating yesterday, I got too caught up playing the StarForce games. But I decided that I would put this chapter up now. Last chapter's reviewer:

Starry Night Reader: Thanks... I hope things get even more better as the story progresses.

Okay, on with the fic!

Black and White Mega Men

Chapter 8 – The Real Feelings

The six of them were transferred back to the transerver room in the Guardian Base. Vent had Prometheus on his back while Aile had Pandora. They headed towards the medic wing where Muguet and Rose were waiting for them. They put Prometheus and Pandora on the beds there.

"Judging from the wounds you two have, you might have to have a lot of rest. While you two rest here, I'll make the medicine. Rose, could you get their wounds bandaged first?" Muguet asked.

"Yes, I'll get on it." Rose nodded and took out some bandages from the medicine box in the corner of the room.

"Vent…" Prometheus whispered, "If you're going after Weil, don't hope for it… Let us finish him…"

"You're going after Weil too? What for?" Vent asked.

"It's none… of your business…" Prometheus replied weakly.

"As for the four of you, could you leave the room please? They need to rest for now." Muguet said as the four of them left.

"Come on, we have to report to Prairie." Vent said as he walked towards the elevator with others behind him. 'So Prometheus and Pandora are going after Weil too…' he thought as the four of them went up to the Control Room.

The four of them entered the Control Room and were greeted by Prairie. She was also surprised to see Vent back. "V-Vent? Did you decide to return here?"

"Yes, I'm going back to be a Guardian again." Vent replied, "Sorry about my behavior last night…"

"It's okay…" Prairie turned to the others, "Who did you find in that base?"

"They were actually Prometheus and Pandora. Prometheus mentioned that he was going after Weil too…" Aile answered, "Have you found out anything new about Weil?"

"I'm sorry, but I haven't got anything else. For the time being, I think you should rest up for the day. I'll call you if anything happens." Prairie replied as the four Chosen Ones nodded. They all left the room in silence before Grey decided to speak up.

"Come on, let's have lunch at the cafeteria!" Grey suggested as Aile and Ashe nodded and followed him. Vent grabbed Aile's hand as she stopped walking and turned to him.

"What is it, Vent?" Aile asked.

"Will you come to the deck with me? I have something really important to tell you." Vent replied nervously.

"Okay, but take it too long. I didn't eat breakfast this morning, so I'm hungry right now." Aile turned to Ashe and Grey, "You two can go ahead, we'll catch up with you later!"

Vent held her hand and they walked towards the elevator. They arrived on the deck which was empty as Thon, the big Guardian member, was going out to the city. Vent turned away from Aile and gulped.

'Here goes nothing!' Vent turned back to Aile with his eyes closed. "First of all, I want to say that I'm sorry about yesterday. Maybe I should practice on my own so you wouldn't be hurt thinking that I might be cheating on you."

"No Vent, I'm the one that's supposed to be sorry. I should have listened to you first before I accused that you were cheating on me." Aile replied as Vent took a deep breath. "Is something wrong? Why are you looking so nervous?"

Vent shook his head and took another deep breath. "No, I'm fine…" Vent looked around the deck, "Ashe and Grey aren't watching, are they?"

Aile sighed seeing his reaction. "No Vent, they're in the cafeteria right now. Is the conversation that private?"

Vent nodded nervously. "You know that I've been practicing with Ciel, but I'm not using the lines she suggested. I'm using the lines I've formed on my own and they come from deep inside my heart."

"What are you talking about?" Aile asked impatiently.

"I've actually fallen in love with you for a long time, but it took me more than three years to confess my love to you. I was going to confess when we were together on the deck before, but something was holding me back. I just don't want to lose you as a friend, that's why…" Vent replied with a sad look.

"Vent… I didn't know that you were hiding your feelings for that long…" Aile paused for a moment and smiled nervously. "But to be honest, I'm sort of the same…"

"O-Oh… it's okay…" Vent took out a small blue box from his pocket. "Aile, I've also thought that you're special and I'll do anything to save you. I don't want to see you get hurt or even suffer the same fate as our mothers and Boss…"

Aile blushed after hearing Vent's words and she felt that her heart started beating at a faster rate. Vent got down to one knee and opened up the box, showing Aile the diamond ring. Aile gasped and looked at the diamond ring, and then back to Vent who was actually looking at the ground nervously.

"Aile… will you marry me?" Vent asked nervously, hoping for a good answer. Aile paused as she was looking for the right words to say, but then she smiled.

"V-Vent… I… I didn't expect that our friendship back then could lead us to a relationship, but I actually expected our relationship to come this far…" Vent looked up and saw that Aile was smiling sweetly. "Vent, I will marry you!"

"Y-You will?" Vent asked again as Aile jumped to hug him and pulled him into a deep long kiss. Vent broke the kiss and smiled. "I'll take that as a yes then…"

"Vent, should we go to the cafeteria now? I can't wait to tell Ashe and Grey about our incoming marriage! By the way, when should the wedding ceremony be?" Aile asked, still had her arms wrapped around Vent's neck.

"How about two weeks from now on? We have some enemies to be taken care of too, you know…" Vent teased, "Come on, I bet that you're getting hungrier by now!"

Aile let go of his neck as both of them headed towards the cafeteria, hand in hand.

I'm not sure if I would update this weekend as my life as a high school student now gets even harder, especially my social life. Anyways, please review and don't flame the story!
