It was a year before Asitai was able to deliver some good news to his comatose patient. He'd visited him twice a week up until that point, but that was about to change.
"Hey, Mirai." He happily greeted the lifeless teen. "It's your last year to be a teenager, my love, and boy do I have some news for you."
He kissed the tip of the brunette's nose.
"I've been accepted to complete an internship here!" Asitai announced happily. "Dr. Kigaru said if my internship goes well, he'll consider me for a position here!"
Silence answered.
"Did you hear that, Mirai? I'll get to see you more! Every day, not just twice a week. Isn't that great?"
More silence.
"Why, Mirai, I thought you'd be happier for me, my love. This is a good thing." He giggled, his happy laugh quickly turning into a defeated man's chuckle. "Oh, who am I fooling? I'm not happy. I mean, I am, but I'm not…I wish you were awake and could experience this with me."
He checked their bond by gripping his end with his fingers. When the glow stopped a little over halfway down, he sighed.
"I can't wait for you to wake up so I can tell you all the fun you're missing. Everyone will be happy to see you…"
He sighed and stood, kissing his boyfriend on the cheek.
"I love you, Mirai. I can't wait for the day I'm able to show you just how much again…"

Two months after Mirai woke up, the brunette ran his fingers through his freshly cut hair as he took in a nice big whiff of fresh mountain air. He stood on the balcony of Asitai's seventh story apartment overlooking the mountain scenery of Gora. He'd been given the clean bill of health to leave the hospital from a very reluctant Doctor Yue and very persistent boyfriend of his. Now as he leaned on the wooden balcony railings, he had time to think. Asitai had taken a few weeks off from work and was just on-call so he could spend time with him; rekindling their romance before they married and introducing him to a world he barely knew. Their wedding wasn't for another month, but he personally couldn't wait. They had to make up for lost time, and sealing their relationship was step one of that. Asitai had promised to take him to Tokyo for a honeymoon so he could see their old stomping grounds and how it had changed around there. Ritsuka had offered them to stay in Soubi's old apartment rent free since he lived with his mother and Yoji and Natsuo were back at Seven Voices Academy as students under Nagisa, and to give him a call if they wanted to meet up for dinner one day or needed any help around town. He was a pretty good kid, considering what a tool his father had become and what a psycho his brother was, according to Asitai. He personally didn't want to meet this Seimei fellow. He seemed dangerous and uncontrollable.
The front door to the apartment opened, but Mirai ignored it. Judging by the sun setting behind the mountains, Asitai was just coming home early. He felt warm arms wrap around his middle a few minutes later and spotted red hair out of the corner of his eye.
"Hey, love." Asitai greeted, placing a kiss on his neck.
"Hey, yourself." Mirai stated.
"Enjoying the sunset?"
"I am." Mirai stated. "You're taller than me again."
"That I am. As it should be."
"Should be?" Mirai turned in his grip to face him, wrapping his arms around the doctor's neck. "What do you mean?"
"I'm older." Asitai kissed his nose.
"Right." Mirai pulled him down into a kiss. "Be glad I'm as tall as I am with how long I was in a coma."
"I am." Asitai muttered something sexual in his ear, making the brunette flush.
"Tai!" He scolded.
Asitai laughed. "Do you know what today is?"
"No."
"Would you like to?"
"Hai, Tai."
"Rai, it's our anniversary."
Mirai chuckled at the rhyming. "Ah, so it is."
"Here." Asitai handed him a small box wrapped in gold.
"What's that?"
"A present." Asitai pulled from him and pulled him into the bedroom by the arms.
"Alright, alright."
Mirai sat on the bed as Asitai pushed him down to do and opened the box. Inside was a gold band with a diamond imbedded into it.
"What is this for?" Mirai wondered.
"I never got to properly ask you." He took the box and got on one knee. "Shenai Mirai, I'd make the whole world stop if it meant I had more time with you. I love you more than anything. When you fell into your coma, it felt like a part of me had died. I didn't know how to process it. But I found my purpose in you, and now I'm a Doctor. And now you're back with me…Mirai, my love, will you marry me?"
Mirai chuckled. "Of course, Asitai. I'd love you marry you."
Asitai slipped the ring on his finger before climbing up to kneel over him on the bed and push him gently into the bedspread. He leaned down and kissed the brunette, rubbing his body against his.
"I love you…"
Mirai flipped them so Asitai was on his back. "I love you, too."
He followed as Asitai slipped back up to lay his head on the pillows. Mirai placed kisses up the elder male's collar bone, making him moan and arch against him.
"Sukidayo." He slipped a hand under Asitai's shirt.
"Sukidayo." Asitai began undoing Mirai's belt.
Finally, after twenty-seven years of being apart, they were able to fall back into place as if nothing had happened. Taking over Septimal Moon almost separated them, but Asitai's determination to wake his boyfriend up and Mirai's unknown determination to wake back up for him brought them back together. The wedding wasn't far away, but for now, they'd just enjoy getting to know one another all over again. Just like they had thirty-five years ago in the principal's office of the school they now took part in running alongside what remained of their ragtag group of poorly trained Units and the children of some of their retired or deceased friends' children. Life was funny that way.
