Chapter 5: Morning's Love Bloom

(Myrr POV)

I woke up earlier and went to the kitchen, very careful to not wake up anyone, especially Zexion. I finally decided to make blueberry, chocolate-chip pancakes, both Xion and my own favorite.

"Morning, what's for breakfast?" Zexion asked.

"Blueberry, chocolate-chip pancakes," I said.

"Really? It's my favorite!" Zexion said, "Everyone else says it's weird."

"I don't think so, it's amazing," I said.

Soon, Xion woke up and had begun to help me making pancakes, nice and fluffy. After breakfast, I could always count on it being a good morning if the pancakes were amazing.

"Hey Myrr, could are you doing anything this morning?" Zexion asked.

"No, why?" I asked.

"Do you want to do anything this morning together?" Zexion asked, "But it's a surprise."

"Oh…Okay," I said, very wary, putting on my hooded vest.

He pulled out a red silk sash which he used to blindfold me; I couldn't tell where we were going. Which meant that I have no idea where I was. When he removed the blindfold, I found myself on the clock tower.

"It's not much a surprise to be here," Zexion said, "but I've always thought that this would be the best place to tell you."

"This is amazing," I said, "I've never seen the sunrise this way."

"Hey I thought I would be here by myself this morning," this voice was close to familiar, but when I turned around I saw it was Riku.

"Riku! What do you want?" I asked.

He gave me a puzzled look.

"Oh, you're confusing me with my identical twin brother, Riku Shadowlance, names Repliku," he said, "ran away so then I wouldn't get into any trouble Riku does."

"He almost hurt my sister," I said.

"I didn't know," Repliku said, "I guess that means that there is one more reason why Riku should be arrested, yet he always gets away. I'll be going now if you don't want me to be here."

When, Zexion had watched Repliku leave through the doors of the train station, he was certain that he could tell me something.

"Myrrglosch Frostwinds, when I first met you, I felt a spark," Zexion said, "but now I know Myrr, that I love you."

I knew I had felt that spark before, but also, I felt my heart drop.

"I know I love you too, but…" I said.

"But what? I know you like keeping secrets Myrr but if this one means that we cannot be together, tell me, I swear by my love to you that I will never tell anyone," Zexion said.

"Fine, but you will be the only other person who will know," I said, and then whispered into his ear, "when I was twelve, I got a letter from my doctor; I was diagnosed with an unknown condition that affects my heart. Sooner or later, my heart will stop and I will breathe my last. I just never wanted to tell anyone because then, you will feel pain of me gone forever, away from your love. I'm sorry, I should have told you before, but I was scared."

I closed my eyes, tears slipping down my cheeks and out of my eyes. Then I felt him giving me a gentle kiss on my left cheek.

"Don't worry, I will never tell," Zexion said, "I loved you because you're very talented, even if I did know of this condition, I still love you for who you are, not just to pity you. You are an amazing girl that anyone would love to date when they get to know you."

"Thank you Zexion," I said, "truth is I could never draw people."

"It's okay," Zexion said as I snuggled up a little bit on his chest.

(Xion POV)

I knew dad was often busy because he worked hard to support both me and Myrr.

"Xion," dad asked, "how are you and Myrr well to getting use to live in Twilight Town?"

"Great, we're both great," I said.

"That's nice," dad said, "Where's Myrr? She's not in her room."

"Oh she went with Zexion to do something, I'm certain she is fine," I said.

(Myrr POV)

Zexion was walking me home, such a gentleman. When we arrived on my doorstep, he kissed my hand and said farewell to me. Then I entered my home, while Zexion walked home.

(Xion POV)

I saw Myrr walk in; she was walking in as if she was light on her feet. Yet though, I knew it at first sight, she's in love she said good morning to dad and went to her room. I excused myself and went to her room.

"Myrr," I said, "You're in love? With who? Did you tell him about your condition?"

"It's Zexion," Myrr said, "I told him of my condition; I finally was able to trust him."

"As long as you love him, it's fine with me," Xion said.

(Myrr POV)

Soon, even if I was in love, I now had a new idea to draw. Soon throughout the day I spent drawing, when I was satisfied with the sketch, I finally brought out my color pencils, and lightly, yet carefully, added in more detail.

I finished it on Sunday, it was amazing, and I couldn't wait until tomorrow to show it to Zexion. It was the best portrayal I ever did of me with anyone else. Truly love was what I've been missing for three years.

It was late, so I carefully slipped my art into a sleeve and went to bed, tomorrow was the premier of our rendition of Girl vs. Monster. I had to be ready. I fell into sleep from love.
