"A special one-shot of The's Tale~!"
*clears throat* Hello everybody! It's been a long time since I last post a chapter. Heheh…Sorry. I moved to USA and had a lot of things to handle so I kinda busy. But now, I'm finally FREE~ *opens arms while standing alone at a windy corn field*
Reika : Yo minna! Hisashiburi nee? XD
Hibiki : Hi everyone! It's been a while.
Eve : Good day to all of you ladies and gentlemen.
Ren : Hi. It's not like I wanna greet you or anything….*looks away blushing*
Ichiya : MEN~! Such a lovely reunion for us! It was so silent before this one-shot was established…..*sobs*
twinSlayer : Keep it together will ya? We'll be starting soon….So, ENJOY! XD
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. I wish I could have Hibiki though, for him and Reika to make a new story together …..That would be lovely. TwT
One peaceful night…
Reika : Dearie, are you sleeping?
Hibiki : Nope.
Reika : Not tired?
Hibiki : How am I supposed to be tired when I was staying at home doing nothing?
Reika : You could always walk around at the backyard.
Hibiki : Naahh…It's too big. I can't walk that much now honey.
Reika : Are your legs okay? Do you need to see the physiotherapist again?
Hibiki : No, it's okay. Ouji can help me when he have the time.
Reika : What if he doesn't have the time? He's always busy with that new PSP of his.
Hibiki : He has a family to take care now, sweetie, of course his time is occupied with them.
Reika : I'll ask Kira about that physiotherapist then.
Hibiki : Yeah…Maybe she can help.
Reika : …..
Hibiki : ….
Reika : Are you sleepy now?
Hibiki : Nu'uh…..
Reika : *sighs*
Hibiki : It's been a long journey….
Reika : Huh? *puzzled look*
Hibiki : I mean it's like we're married just yesterday but yet, look, we have 16 kids now, all grown-up.
Reika : Yeah….. Those days were really tough. I don't know babies can stink that much!
Hibiki : Of course. Their poops are those dragon slayers' nightmare. I'm glad I didn't have a dragon slayer as my wife. *chuckles*
Reika : You mean you would like to have one?
Hibiki : I can still score with girls even at this age okay honey? Don't underestimate me.
Reika : Apart from your gifted handsome-until-death face, you're nothing in front of a bug.
Hibiki : Don't mention that spooky thing Reika…..
Reika : What's so spooky about bugs?
Hibiki: To you, they aren't. But it's hell for me, you know that. It's like milipedes trying to climb over your feet~
Reika : *gasps*Well, it's a different matter if it's milipedes…*shudders*
Hibiki : Hahahah….I knew that side of you when it's the 3rd anniversary of our marriage right? Eve's playing a prank on you.
Reika : Now that I think about it, why didn't I kill him that time?
Hibiki : Please don't. *sweatdrop*
Reika : He's just lucky I'm with you that time.
Hibiki : Yeah….You turned into a kid for the whole day, hugging me all the time with that scared face.
Reika : You know how does it feel being traumatized by stuff.
Hibiki : I know. I learnt it the hard way. *looking gloomy*
Reika : ….
Hibiki : …
Reika : I'm sorry dear. *kisses Hibiki's forehead*
Hibiki : It's okay, I'm fine. That Tsul Town case was what made us stumble upon each other….And that's the time that I know I loved you.
Reika : Hey we did meet before that right? Remember the first time when I went to Blue Pegasus with Eve?
Hibiki : Definitely! That was the first time I met you and you gave me the prettiest smile I've ever seen in my life. *smiles*
Reika : *blushes*
Hibiki : Look! My flirting skills hasn't rusted. Hahaha!
Reika : *pouts* You were testing your pick-up lines at me?
Hibiki : Yeah, I was so bored to death this afternoon and something just went across my head. Why don't I give it a try then? *smirks*
Reika : *starts to be sad* So with whom do you want to say it actually?
Hibiki : There's this woman who's really pretty with her black leather coat. My, she's so sexy when she puts it on! And she has this bright smile that's capable of thrusting straight through my heart. And you know what? She has taken interest in me! I felt lucky! *giggles*
Reika : ….
Hibiki : Honey, are you listening?
Reika : Hmm…
Hibiki : And then she has this big boobs and the nicest curve. Oh my God, I felt like touching them everytime I see it!
Reika : *hides the sad feeling*
Hibiki : And she got this naïve personality that made me feel so excited to hug her! And when I did, I thought I went to heaven…
Reika : *a tear strikes down her cheek* Do you really love that woman?
Hibiki : Of course! She's my wife, Reika Laytis!
Reika : *slaps Hibiki's arm*
Hibiki : Oww…That hurts honey….
Reika : I wasted my tear for nothing *wipes away tears*
Hibiki : Then that means you still love me~
Reika : BAKA! Of course!
Hibiki : Did you remember when Ren and Sherry argued about their guilds?
"Blue Pegasus!"
"Lamia Scale!"
"I said, Blue Pegasus!"
"No! Lamia Scale!"
"Wait, guys!" Hibiki swings his arm in the air, stopping the heating quarrel. "What's all this about?"
Reika comes behind him. "Yeah, you guys are quite energetic for people who just woke up early in the morning." And she yawns.
"She's not agreeing with my decision!"
"So do you! You said it's for us to decide which guild!"
And the two started fighting again. Feeling like wanting to explode, Hibiki meddles himself in the middle of the fight. "Okay stop it you two!" And they shut up. Both of the Akatsuki name-holder looks away from each other.
"Oopsie guys…You just made the Prince Charming mad…" Reika covers her mouth after Sherry glares at her.
"Now tell me what's the problem," says Hibiki while crossing his arms. He's become stricter after he has his first kids. Now he looks like a father who's getting ready to scold their son for some naughty behaviours.
Ren looks at Sherry. Sherry looks back at Ren. Both of them are signaling each other to tell about the core of their argument.
Reika steps forward, nearer to Hibiki, and declares, "If you two aren't going to speak up for the reason, I bet Hibiki's gonna charge you for disturbing the neighbourhood early in the morning. Don't say I don't warn you."
The Akatsukis sigh. "Alright then…" says Ren.
Hibiki and Reika are anticipating about what's to come out of Ren's mouth when he said…..
"It's about choosing our son's guild."
*major facepalm*
Reika : HAHAHHAHAHAHAH Fighting over a 5-years-old baby's guild! That's so ridiculous!
Hibiki : I know! Ren and Sherry are troublesome couple!*continues laughing*
After a few minutes of laughing…..
Reika : Oh my God, my tummy hurts from too much laughing…..
Hibiki : Me too….*pants*
Reika : Nee, hubby~
Hibiki : What is it, baby~?
Reika : *laughs* I thought we agree not to use that to address each other again!
Hibiki : *laughs* You started it first!
Reika : Really? Sorry *laughs*
Hibiki : Do you still remember Heine and Hirei's first words?
"Say mommy…," Reika slowly teaches her baby, Hirei. Heine, on the other hand, is in Hibiki's arms.
"Come on, Heine! Say, daddy!" Hibiki nonchalantly urges his baby to speak out.
Ichiya and Eve come closer to Hibiki to take a good look at the baby. "Wow he's cute!" says Ichiya almost instantly.
"I bet he takes after his father," states Eve.
"If only that's true….." Reika interferes while holding Hirei in her arms, "He got my eyes, see?"
They look back at Heine's slanted eyes. "Now that you mention it…"
"And now we're competing against each other, whose name will be called first."
"I hope they will embed the word 'mommy' in their mind faster….."
"Nope. It's gonna be 'daddy'."
"Mommy."
"Daddy."
"Guys, don't quarrel over little things…" Eve sweatdrops.
"Yes," Ichiya plucks open a bottle of perfume. "If you're a true man, then you just have to coolly wait and see. MEN~" Sparkles shine afterwards.
"Men." A tiny voice echoes after that. Hibiki and Reika quickly turn to Heine.
"Men."
It really is from Heine!
Reika looks like she was about to cry when Hibiki consoles her. "It's alright, honey. Maybe we should wait for Hirei's?"
"How long do I have to wait? DX And I waited for so long to hear from Heine and his first word is MEN!"
"Nee nee, Reika nee-san, don't be so upset okay? Let's dance for a while."
"Dance?" Reika gives Eve a weird look.
"Yup, Wasshoi Dance! Hibiki, come and join us!"
And so the three (idiots) dance the ridiculous Wasshoi steps in front of the babies to make them laugh. Well, yeah they succeed when Heine giggles happily. But then, another incident happen.
"Come on, Hirei, your brother already learnt a word. Now it's your tur-"
"-Wasshoi!"
Reika is sure she had turned into a stone for a while.
"Wasshoi!" And Hirei laughs happily. The three men smile when Hirei could finally speak, but not the reemerging demon of Fairy Tail.
"My babies' first words…" her eyes glares at the Trimen.
"But Reika, isn't it nice? Hirei can speak now…" Hibiki constantly trying to calm his wife down. Sweats strike down his whole body.
"HOW DARE YOU TAKE AWAY MY BABIES' FIRST WORDS!"
There goes the three Trimen, flying away because of the demon's kick.
"Men!" "Wasshoi!"
Reika : Just WHY did you need to bring that up? *pissed off*
Hibiki : Aww honey, you still can't get over it?
Reika : If I can reverse the time, I'll tape their mouth before letting them walk into our house.
Hibiki : But it's already in the past honey, too bad you can't change it.
Reika : You're so easy to let it go 'coz Hirei was learning the nonsense word of your dance!
Hibiki : But hey, she's pretty good at learning it I must say. She already memorized the step when she's tw-
SMACK!
Hibiki : That hurts honey…. *fakes tears while rubbing head*
Reika : Don't bring that up ever again.
Hibiki : Alright love….
Reika : Thank goodness her younger siblings didn't take after the inherited dance of yours.
Hibiki : That's the one thing that I regret. *pretends to cry*
Reika : Unless it's from your dad, then I'll allow you to pass it to our children.
Hibiki : I hope it is.
Reika : …Could we just move on?
Hibiki : What else you wanna talk about, honey-chan?
Reika : Oh great now I have a new nickname.
Hibiki : It sounds great together.
Reika : Whatever you say, dear-kun.
Hibiki : Say…Do you remember Jenny's wedding day?
Reika : Of course! But I would rather say, the Christine and Jenny Day!
Hibiki : ….You made it sound so wrong in so many ways.
Reika : What? *blank*
Hibiki : People might think that it's some kind of lesbian's wedding. *sweatdrop*
Reika : Really? Well then, I'll just say it like this, The Christine-Kraud and Jenny-Carl Wedding Day!
Hibiki : ….Nevermind…..
Reika : Oh my, those two are so cute! *sparkling eyes* Christine in that wedding dress, she's like and angel. Oh I wish I have a baby like that!
Hibiki : Jenny's pretty too.
Reika : Heck yeah but because I've seen Jenny in many pretty dresses so I think that day was just another day for her wearing dress.
Hibiki : Now that you mention it…
Reika : Yeah, even that baka yuki onna (Ayumi) also wore a dress. That time I thought she's possessed by some fashion-maniac ghost.
Hibiki : That far?
Reika : ….Let's just say it looks weird on her.
Hibiki : I think she looks beautiful.
Reika : That explains why you're being chased by the girls.
Hibiki : You know you can't blame the God for making me behave like this. *smiles*
Reika : Just why are you the one who I love?
Hibiki : Just why are you so pretty?
Reika : Pardon?
Hibiki : You heard me.
Reika : You and your sweet-talks…..*sighs*
Hibiki : ….are inseparable. I know~ *chuckles*
Reika : ….Hibiki?
Hibiki : What is it, hun?
Reika : What if…..One of us dies first?
Hibiki : Age-wise or Mission-wise?
Reika : Let's go for the mission-wise first.
Hibiki : I'll kill those who's responsible for that.
Reika : That far?
Hibiki : I'm dead serious.
Reika : *blushes* What about age-wise?
Hibiki : Hmm…
Reika : ….You won't kill yourself, would you?
Hibiki : *laughs* I won't commit suicide for sure, honey. I still wanna see you in heaven.
Reika : So?
Hibiki : Let's just say, I'll pray for your happiness in the afterlife, and maybe I'll follow you soon enough.
Reika : I hope, if I die first, I'll ask God to give happiness to you as long as you live.
Hibiki : Same goes if vice versa happens.
Reika : Yeah….
Hibiki and Reika went silent.
Hibiki : Honey-chan?
Reika : Yes, dear-kun?
Hibiki : Let's go to sleep.
Reika : Okay.
And that night, they sleep while feeling each other's arms wrapped around their body. Because only God knows when the warmth will last.
*cries at the corner of the room**sniffs* Oh hi minna! Finished reading? *sniffs* OH MY GOD the ending is so sad that I cried when writing this. *sniffs*
Or is it only me that felt sad. ._.
I hope not.
