Still making love to the candy cane lol. I WISH I HADN'T MADE JHONNY DIE! T.T He would have been an awesome brother...i might just make another fanfic where he is alive... Don't give me that look, I'm like a heroin addict except this is my addiction- Se/Ave fanfics...
"Getting down on one knee Jhonny pulled out a fake ring from his pocket, if you hadn't noticed he has a ring on his pinky in the picture and it's that one. He had said 'Avery, will you do the honor of marrying me?' I had just looked at him and then became angry. Asking if he was serious- thank you Snake Eyes- and my answer was a smile and a nod from him." In the middle of her sentence Snake Eyes had handed her a cup of tea. "He knew that I didn't like any type of marriage. So I had pushed him to the ground and threatened to beat him up. 'Now why would you do that Ave? Don't you like me?' he had asked me. I knew he had been taunting me and I fell right into it. My mother had been laughing and when I sent her a glare she had covered her mouth to hide it. And looking at him I had wrapped a hand around his throat and raised the other. He just continued to laugh and covered his face. There was a photographer student behind us and she snapped the photo.
"My mother had started to talk to her and I was still on Jhonny. 'You know what marriage does to a family. Look at what happened to your mother. Look at my mother. I don't want that to happen to us.' I had told him and he laughed at me still. He raised his pinky up and had said, 'You didn't answer me? Will you?' I punched him then, right in the eye. And he laughed. I took took the ring and told him no. 'Well then why did you take the ring?' He had continued to laugh as I stood up and helped him up.
"I thought of how I had truly felt and answered him. 'Because I love you. As a brother and I want to remember you when we are apart.' Jhonny laughed again at me after that and said that was good enough. He said that as long as we would always be together in some way was fine and that had been his reason for asking. And my mother had gotten the students number so that when she got the prints we could each have one. When Jhonny died I had mine on me and buried it with him. This one was his originally. That's why it means so much to me." Avery finished her story and told him more about the picture itself. Reaching a hand out she motioned to the picture. "He had said to me that when one of us got married we would exchange pictures. And we each had written a not on the back. Mine had said that I loved him and would beat the girl to a bloody pulp if she hurt him."
Removing the picture carefully Avery handed it to Snake Eyes. In beautiful and elegant cursive was a note. 'Hey sis. I Know that who ever holds your heart is too good for you, I mean he has your heart. He has to be good. Make sure that anything that he does wrong to you laugh at it. Show him who is bigger and better. Then tell me and I'll gut the bastard like the swine he is. ~Will you marry me now? Jhonny Godfrey.' Snake Eyes took a sip of tea buy lifting the mask up a bit. When he looked at her she explained what the saying meant. "He was telling me that I am too good for any one and if they have my heart they are so much better, because they have my love. And if he ever hurt me in any way Jhonny was saying that he would be there to protect me, he always laughed and it had rubbed off on me a bit. And him asking me to marry him is something that we share. If either of us were to be truly down we'd talk about this. It had been a funny thing. And cheered us up. What about you? Is there a story about someone close to you?" Snake Eyes nearly dropped his tea. She had asked him. She hadn't had any reason to but she wanted to know about him. Snake Eyes nodded and raised two fingers. Avery yawned and Snake Eyes realized another thing.
Avery was dead tired yet she had still asked him. Something that no one had done before when they were perfectly fine. She had showed and interest in him and it was for no other reason then to get to know him. "Tell me about one of them. We can finish the other tomorrow." Shaking his head, Snake Eyes let her know that he would tell her of one of them tomorrow but not tonight. Tonight she was to go to sleep. "But, I want to know. I'll go to sleep later. Come on, tell me one of them. At least who they were." Thinking about this he nodded. He would tell her about Hard Masters kindness. It took longer than he had thought and by the time he was done telling her all about the hard master her head was sitting on the table and her eyes started to droop. "Mmm, I can't wait to hear his story. He seems like someone I'd like. Although I get the feeling that something happened to him. I do hope that you will trust me enough to tell me. And there is no need to worry about me telling anyone, that is if you don't want it told." Her eyes closed once more and her breathing slowed down.
Snake Eyes felt like he had never before felt. And he wanted to ask someone about it. He knew exactly who to ask but first he had something else to do. Removing his shoes he lifted Avery into his arms and carried her to the room across from his. When he got to the bed he knocked the bag out of the way and grabbed the blanket that she had left near the entrance. He covered her and realized that she had no pillow so he quickly went to his room and grabbed his, he had an extra one in his closet that he would later grab. Once he had her head on the pillow he went to find Scarlet. She was like a sister to him and he needed to know what was going on to him.
