✧ RIP ✧

Greenery Day!!

Thank ■■■■ for a day off!! For this piss-ass emperor my brother Brie and I hated to bits! It almost seemed like a lifetime ago, us barreling through the sewers of the palace with a gargantuan bug buddy by our side. I wonder what my moongirl would think if she knew, wondered where my long lost friend was on his journey to finding Ouroboros.

But that was a question for another day. I bit back the fattest grin covering my girl’s eyes gently with my hands, two other hands planted at her hips as I led her across a path somewhere outside. The sunshine smiles upon us, a light breeze carrying the day’s promise. I’m chuckling like a fool the whole time. Like we ain’t on opposite sides of the law, just two kids in love, knowing nothing ‘bout kids of our own on the way or what violence may befall us for the wicked plunge we took into one another’s hearts. Everyday with her was precious. But there was an impossible urgency budding inside me these last few weeks, just knowing our lives would change forever in just some number of months. I’d do everything to cherish her, love her, care for her as she was now and always.

One hand slips away from her briefly to open up the car door. For her, roses on the seat with a giant picnic basket in the back row. I pull her in close, inhale her sweetness. “Thought we’d get away,” I whisper against her ear, “I heard ‘bout a place.”

''Where are we goin'?'' She smiled, knowing full well that he couldn't answer because it would probably ruin the surprise! Normally she wouldn't trust someone enough to lead her on an adventure like this with her eyes completely covered, but she had already given her heart and soul over to him years ago. When he finally removed his hands she was greeted by the familiar sight of roses on the car seat, as well as a picnic basket in the back. She couldn't help but grin like a big idiot then, remembering all those times he picked her up for dates back when she was still going to uni, always with roses and his charm turned up to eleven.

''Get away?'' She breathed in, wrapping her arms around him as her eyes vacillated between his gorgeous white ones, milky way galaxies wrapped up in the cutest guy, hubby and soulmate in all of Japan! ''Where ta?'' She whispered back, her fingers trailing up his shoulders and neck to play gently with his hair. She was all about these feel good vibes and the teasing, but part of her couldn't help but ask her next question with a little hint of worry. ''Is it one of yer secret bunkers? We're not in trouble again, are we?'' She remembered those times they were on the run, from the Covenini, from school, from who knows what, sometimes it felt like it was them against the entire world. She had fond memories of hiding away with him, reminiscing fondly about them like little mini vacation getaways, but they were all undercut by a startling trend, that someone was after their lives. If that was the case again this time she was hella ready to throw hands to protect him, no matter what state she was in.

No, no she was definitely just getting paranoid. Was it her hormones acting up? There was nothing on his face nor in his voice to suggest that they were in danger.

Letting out a small sigh, she grinned. ''Ah've heard of a place too.'' She swept her hand over his heart and leaned in to kiss him deep.

Once it was time to go, she took her seat in the car next to Chuck the way she always did.

“It’s a surprise, Kaz-chan!!” I’d sing out loud like a kid, not giving a single glance to all the people watching us waddle through the parking lot like the weirdos we were. They could piss off!! All I cared about was her smile. From day one to the end of days. My arms latch onto hers when she wraps around me, like we’re two parts of an interlocking ancient puzzle. Love. Pleasure springs up everywhere she touches, pure serotonin when her soft fingertips grace my shoulders, neck and hair. She was natural painkiller, my Kazashi, banished away the worst pain I’d ever been in. But the worry in her tone struck a chord in me then, got me instantaneously pulling her tighter to me. I lean in, brush my lips against her neck.

“There’s no trouble, baby.” I rub the top of her scalp, breathe into her. No trouble now, but for how long? Fate had blessed us with a long stretch of bliss. But we knew the fire in the rain, knew life went to life threatening on the drop of a dime. I squeeze her hand. “I’m sorry for scaring you. I should have known better.” I pull her in for a tight hug, know I’m never ever going to let her go!! “I’ll not go leading you into the dark, ever.” She knew just about everything there was to know about me now. Knew what I had to do to pay my debt, knew what I still did. But neither of us could have know what lurked ahead. I wink at her, feel a happy shiver come on when she sweeps her hand over my heart and kisses me. Makes my whole world spin on its axis, her succulent lips to mine. When we part, I bring her hand up, kiss from wrist to center of her palm. “Yeah?! What’s your place like? You’re holding out on me!!” I was a hella hypocrite!!

Once she took her seat, I gently close her door then get over to my side, latching one hand on the wheel and one intertwined with her like my muscles were born to do that. Then we jet off, hella fast, the screech of tires the song of our joy. Asphalt rips away from us as we drive, get lost to the earth. “Kaz-chan… about those bunkers.” It’s just her and me, always how I like it. So close, damn near psychically aligned always. “I wanna get that for you… as a house.” Lifeless eyes shoot over to her auric own. It’s on.

Although she had only given herself a brief moment to doubt this whole operation, scared that they had to run from their daily lives again because some psychos were out to get them, all it took was Chuck's words to make her feel safe again. She exhaled as he rubbed the top of her scalp, relief washing over her. ''Okay.'' She whispered back, no trouble, just a normal trip out. ''It's okay hun.'' She smiled, hugging him back, clinging to him like he was the only one that mattered in her life. ''As long as yer by my side, ya can lead me wherever ya want. Dark or light it hella doesn't matter, Chuck-kun. But ya do. Ya matter ta me.'' More than she could ever express. What was Charon without her Pluto? Their cosmic dance was a game for two and no matter where he took her, she would always be there by his side. Swaying his orbit, dancing with him.

''It's ya.'' She giggled as he kissed up her wrist leading to her palm. ''Well, he's handsome, charmin' an' blue like the prettiest ocean. He's hella tough lookin', but still a big softie underneath it all. Wherever he is...'' She looked deep into his eyes, leaning in closer as she entwined her fingers with his. ''Is my favorite place in the world.'' She took his hand and led it to her chest, pressing his palm up to her heartbeat. ''Ah can prove it. Whenever Ah look at him it feels just like this.'' She smiled, blushing, she couldn't help it when he was so cute!!

As they hit the road she got comfy in her seat at record time, knew just how to conduct her little ritual to reach maximum comfort as she cuddled up against him. She was taller than him, so it wasn't often that she could lean on him like this, but in the car she made sure to lean and nuzzle up against him. On long drives the best naps she got were the ones by his side. ''What about 'em?'' How long had it been since they last had to go underground? She could hardly remember, but she did remember every moment of those nights spent with him in isolation. How much it made her long for them to have a place together before she moved out of the UAU dorms. ''As a house?'' Her eyes lit up, blinking. ''Like a bunker house?'' She sat up now, her hand squeezing his. ''Ya wanna get a house together?'' She was grinning from ear to ear, it was impossible to hide her excitement! ''Like an underground one, or a normal one?'' Her thumb rubbed affectionate little circles into his hand. ''A place big enough for our growin' family?'' She hummed to herself, curling up on her seat as she nuzzled into his side. ''Ah love the sound of that.'' Somewhere big enough to house them and their twins, and any other kids that might be on the way after!!

Feeling her exhale blew a kiss to my soul. Out of all the shit I did, all the ■■■■’s I killed, acts unspeakable yet true, my biggest sin was being someone that she might fear. Being someone that might stir panic in her because of everything I was associated with. I’d give damn near everything to have redone the past seven years to be a better man for her. But it might mean never meeting her at all, which in my voracious heart stuffed with all things Kazashi McCoy would be unforgivable. So I had to make peace with my sin damn near quick. Do everything to alleviate her concerns. My supermodel angel. “I love you,” I whisper, at home in her cling and the soft warmth of she who made my world spin round and round. “I’ll never leave your side. Death ain’t got a thing on us.” I grin, curling her tatted ring finger with mine and lifting ‘em up like wings.

I ain’t get it at first!! I was so enamored, rough lips lingering at the soft mound of her carpal bone before sinking into her palm. It hella blew my mind everytime we touched, years later!!! how unbelievably soft she was. I blink up at her then, flushed for all those nice things she said. Like shooting stars they land in my heart, each one my wish come true with her presence alone. It takes my rotted brain stupidly long to catch up. “I-it’s me? I’m the place?...” My fingers light up where she touches, warmer and warmer when she entwines them. Then she says more of those things and my face feels like it’ll light fire. “T-thank you baby. You’re hella cute!! Always but l-look at your blush! Who needs earth when your cheeks are outta this world!!” Fuck. I meant to say something hella romantic that I’d think of later, like heaven grieves when they wonder where their fallen angel has gone.

Her passenger princess ritual made me so damn happy I coulda swore I was speeding before we even pulled away from the parking lot. My heart races; so do my fingertips against her soft skin, seeking every centimeter of her cuddles. And I got all the more hella hype when she said what she did, auric eyes lighting up as she blinks. When she squeezed my hand she coulda squeezed my whole heart, on overdrive hearing her excitement. Whatever she wanted, I’d hunt for like it was life or death. I wanted her. “Hell yeah,” I breathe out, licking my lips, “a house, baby!!” Then I laugh, low as she rubs the softest, sweetest circles into my hand. I’d hella make an underground one for all of us. Materials were just harder to come by being outta the Covenin. “A normal one to begin with.” At a stoplight, I lean up and in to kiss her forehead, tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. “You’d really want that then?... Where would you want it built? If I could get the money, would you wanna move in before they come?” They. Our lil busters.

''Death?'' She grinned, ''gonna catch these hands. Couldn't even touch us if he tried.'' It wasn't like she was overconfident or anything, she just felt so safe when she was with him that it felt like nothing in the world could stop them. His soft whisper was another harmonic sound he made that reminded her of home, that made her feel safe and loved like she never thought possible. ''Ah love ya too.'' She whispered back, almost getting a little sleepy just because she was getting so relaxed with him. She couldn't fathom how she used to fall asleep in the dorms all by herself, without him to cuddle up to every night.

''Yeah, silly.'' She chuckled softly. ''It's ya an' ya alone.'' She couldn't get enough of his flustered face, lived for moments like this when he tripped up in the cutest way possible. Then she was laughing straight from her belly at what he said next, ''My cheeks?'' She wiped away a couple of happy tears from laughing. ''Ya like 'em that much?'' Her voice turned into a low, sultry whisper as she cuddled up to him. ''Ya can touch 'em all ya want.'' She teased, gently shaking her booty. He was just her kind of romantic!!

She looked up at him, light of her life as he started talking at the stoplight. She blushed a bit when he kissed her forehead and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. He always treated her like a princess. Always had, even on day one before they even started dating. ''Where? Hmm..'' She looked out the window and up at the red light as it shifted colors. ''Ah'm not too picky about the city or anythin' like that, but Ah've been thinkin' these past few months, havin' a garden would be kind of nice. We could grow some flowers an' vegetables, gives the lil ones more space ta play too when they get a little older.'' She could picture it, their dream home. It didn't have a particular shape or look to it, but it made her heart sing and dance with that feeling of home she loved so much. ''Ya think that'll be possible? We probably can't find somethin' like that in the center of Tokyo, but Ah think movin' in before we have kids ta care for would be easier.'' She closed her eyes as she hugged his arm and leaned on it, almost like she was hugging a pillow.

“Hell yeah that’s the spirit!!” I was grinnin’ wicked thick. Everything my supermodel angel said was magnetically alluring - she’s got a one in seven billion voice - but it was hella seductive when her defiance came through. When you knew where she came from, her struggle with being human, you knew. I ain’t have a doubt in my pea-sized brain that me and my girl could take on all of hell!! Be banned from heaven, kicked out from earth! “Nothing’s gonna get us. Ever, ever,” I promise, falling deeper in love with her when she whispers what she does. Seeing her relax, at home in my arms… I’d sell my soul to make that our reality. To protect her across the infinite cycle of our lives.

I couldn’t stop blushing at what she said. Kazashi McCoy was my indelible destiny, a love so strong with someone so supernaturally great it blew my mind away still that we were together. To be her place as she was mine, sanctuary over all earth, was a compliment my heart almost couldn’t fully take. It was just that big. Then she does what she does next and my jaw damn near drops to the floor!! I’m red all over the blue ‘gain! “■■■■!!” the shake!! That sultry tone of voice! My eyes had never gone so wide! “You mean that, hun? I am a man of action y’know, your man of action who’d hella like to-” my fingers make the most creepy ass spirit finger motion!! - “action YOU!!” a throaty, thirsty heuheu!! bubbles out of my jaw! It was a miracle I ain’t cause an accident on the road when she effortlessly seduced me like so!! 911 with my palms on her backside, call that a booty call!!

It was near impossible to keep my lifeless eyes on the road. To have her, warm, soft beyond belief, cuddled up next to me made up for it when I couldn’t look at her directly. She says what she says next and each word plays over and over again in my head, diamonds spinning their refractions in ebullient rainbows. “Yeah,” I start, slowly, “hell yeah. More than possible.” Blueprints were coming together in big and wide shapes in my head, 10-meter high trellises and garden beds. A tool shed for blacksmithing. A big smile was growing over my face. “I’ll build them a treehouse and everything, a pergola for us to watch them from…” I turn to her, lost in a dream as my fingers race over her forearm. “New idea. There’s a new place to go, baby! Let’s look, today!!” She was hella right, we could move in before we had them!! She wanted it, I’d build it! I look behind us, then veer the car back in the other direction towards the countryside!



I thought ‘bout where Mo and her girl lived, where my love’s mom lived too. The quiet sanctity, the privacy, their own earthen paradise - the idea grew wild and free in my head, maybe hers too as we thought of it together!! There was nothing more I loved than the idea of Kazashi being away from all the psychos, of a quiet, safe place for our family. Away from so many prying eyes. Speeding by to a place that was outside of Tokyo but not so far removed a commute in would be impossible, I slow the car. Rolling green hills, a wavering blue sky and farmers balancing the two worlds. “W-Whaddya think about somewhere out here?” I squeeze her hand with my free one. If she wanted, I’d park and open her door!!

''Never ever.'' She smiled, cuddling up against him, satisfied and so deeply in love with the perfect man that walked into her life all those years ago. Thinking back on it she couldn't imagine a life without him. Without getting picked up from school every weekend, without moving out into their cute little apartment, decorating it one step at a time and making it theirs, without their little night time drives, without every little moment of sweetness that they shared together.

She giggled, a devious little grin on her face as she knew exactly what she was doing, lived for every second of his reaction. Was it unfair to do this while he had to drive too? Hella, but she loved teasing him more than anything, drinking up every emotion on his face with her auric cross eyes. ''A-Action me?'' She giggled, blushing all over. ''Action me how? ~'' She whispered softly against his neck before giving it a slow kiss. ''Maybe ya should show me later.'' She hugged his arm all the closer. It was hard not to get addicted to his warmth, to his presence, when she was so prone to getting cold hands and feet.

She was getting a little sleepy up until then, how could she not, cuddled up next to her soulmate? It wasn't until he confirmed some of her thoughts that her face lit up. ''Really? Ya think it's possible?'' The happiness was practically shining out of her bright eyes and fanged grin. She wanted to give in to her excitement completely, but she was also concerned for his health. Even though he had an amazing quirk, healed back from bullet wounds like they were nothing, she also knew he had been working hard lately. ''That sounds perfect, Chuck-kun..'' She could so easily picture it too. Their forever home. ''Just don't push yerself too hard, yeah?'' She traced her hand up his abs to rub little circles into them, working her way up to his chest. ''Ah don't want ya ta break yer back buildin' it.'' The happiest little chills danced up her forearm as he touched it, and spread to the rest of her body in record time. ''Yeah? Let's! Ah wanna see what ya have in mind.'' She leaned in to give him a big fat kiss on his cheek.

As the car slowed down she adjusted herself to sit up properly so she could see outside the windows. One look was all it took and she could feel a swell of emotions bursting forth inside her. All she could do was sit there, taking in the stunning beauty of their surroundings as she squeezed his hand back firmly. ''It's perfect,'' she looked back at him with tears in her eyes that she didn't even know were there. ''Don't ya think?'' She didn't know if Chuck could live this far from the city, even if commuting was easy, but she knew she could. She could just imagine how easy it would be to take him and the lil demons out for walks in the forest too, teach them to appreciate nature from a young age. ''Wanna step outside for a moment?''

It was so easy to see forever in her. An unending well of our infinite youth, a love that somehow was as fresh at age eighty-one as it was as eighteen. I wanted to work hard so I could pay her bills and give her the princess treatment she deserved; and simultaneously, quit everything right now and escape with her to some island of our own. Maddening? Selfish? To lock her in my heart for all our shared days and watch the key sink to the bottom of the ocean. Each moment like this, her soft warmth and sweet smile… It grew more tempting by the day. I reach up, tuck a hair behind her ear as my arms tighten around her.

It was a helluva miracle I ain’t crash. The space between us got a lot tighter tho, till I was inundated with all sensations Kazashi - those sweet low rural laughs, babygirl warmth and her scent I wanted to drown in throughout all the long day. The road, the destination, all gone. All that mattered in the whole wide world clung tight to my arms, the only place I ever wanted her to be. I gulp when she says what she does; my heart skips ten beats as blood surges under my skin in all the places. I blurt out the nastiest thing, what I wanted to do to her right now - “when we get home I’m gonna carry you up the stairs, get you in bed n’,” I groan, whispering into her ear, “hold hands with you until we fall asleep.” The soft kiss over my neck was ramping me up, her hug over my arm making me lick my lips. My tone drops an octave. “You sure my flower?” An arm snuck up behind her head, fist balling up her hair and gently tugging her back. “Don’t ask for anything you can’t take.”

Here I am, eyes half on the road, half watching her dreamy somnolence. She was so impossibly warm… Could you picture us on the couch like this, with two kids atop of us all knocked out? “Hella possible.” I grin, lifeless eyes looking towards the near future. She coulda asked me to commit war all the same and I’d agree. Whatever she wanted. Her fingertips running circles over my abs brings me back to life, hungrier for how she climbs. “I’ll happily break my back for you, Zāzā!! That’s what regen is for!” I give her a stupid thumbs up, other hand running rivulets through her hair. I beam in her kiss, gently turning her chin to kiss her deep on the lips. Lingering there if she’d allow, I’d give her an impish grin. “Get ready, baby. I’ll give you a house so nice you’re never gonna wanna leave.”

Hella funny thing is, I had the skills. Before killing, the Covenini had me doing the most whack ass things - burying bodies, destroying evidence, building them new hideouts, fixing they HVAC, plumbing and electrical!! You learn fast when your life’s on the line. But I ain’t have any of the licenses for it in the streets and it costs a stupid amount of time t’get ‘em! But a big, beautiful plot of land in the middle of the countryside - who would know? A palatial green Eden for just us. All ours, for she who was all mine. Her tears alone were the tipping point, the moment of no return. It’s like we empathically arrived, instantaneously, on the exact same vision and a wave of homecoming hit us both so hard anything else was off the table. I lean up to wipe her tears away with my thumbs, pushing any hair over her face back as I stared in awe at her. “Perfect, perfect.” I’d always been a city boy. A rat of the rich from LA, a kid living atop and under psychopaths and serial killers. But I was hugged by the sprawling silence, an unfiltered blue sky. Suddenly, having that with her made every other living situation seem like a tease for just this.

I’d nod with a fatass grin, parking and leaping over the hood to her side of the car. Opening up her door, I’d very gently help her out with all arms steadying her. The tiniest motes of dust float up to greet us from the dirt road, the call of the wild and undulating grass everywhere else. Reaching in for a quick kiss, I’d laugh before emphatically gesturing deeper into the foliage!! “Onward!” I wanted the forest to swallow us, spit out our home near a wide running creek. “Let me know… when you think we’ve found the place.” I was convinced my moongirl was psychic, would just step foot on a place and know that was it!!

She didn't even know it, but then and there he proved it, that her face really could get redder than her horns! ''Sounds like a dream come true.'' She couldn't not feel like a dork the way she was smiling and blushing. All these years later and he still knew how to make her flustered in seconds, knew all the right buttons to press. ''Y-Yeah.'' She gulped, her heart racing faster with every second. Whenever she thought she was done falling in love with him, it was like a whole new layer revealed itself and she realized just how much more of him there was to love. Affection as infinite as the universe, she was hella simping with every breath she took, hanging on his every word. ''Ah can take it, but can ya?'' She teased back, making exaggerated kissy lips at him.

The thought that it really was possible, that they could be living in their dream home years, maybe even months from now got her all excited. ''As long as yer careful.'' She insisted with a content smirk. ''Just because ya got super healin' doesn't mean ya can't get hurt.'' Words she always stood by. No one was going to hurt her Chuck, not even a house, or she was going to have to throw hands with it once he was done building, or its blueprint or materials or however that worked!! When he kissed her on the lips she closed her eyes, savoring every moment and lingering there with him. She felt the sparks, just like the first time they kissed all those years ago, only they had gotten brighter and bigger, to the point that they resembled fireworks. ''Ah can't wait. It'll be like our own mansion. The McCoy Estate.'' She tried to sound all fancy and snobbish on that last part, but couldn't help but giggle. ''Anywhere with ya, that's where my home is.'' Returning to the sap as always, she pressed a hand up to his chest to feel his heartbeat.

They were both city kids, and while Kaz hadn't always lived in Tokyo, she had been quick to embrace the lifestyle. Hella comfortable in it too with her smoking husband, but maybe they both felt it? That something was missing, that the city could offer so much and yet... In the last year new questions and considerations had started popping into her mind. Was it safe to raise kids here? Was there a more optimal place? Would the lil ones be happier with some nature close by? What about space? Wouldn't it be hard to get a house in Tokyo? They were both city kids, who perhaps had started longing for nature. ''Thank ya, Chuchu.'' She smiled as he helped her out of the car. He always had even though he didn't need to. When he reached in for the quick kiss she didn't hesitate to kiss him back. Just because she hadn't done any hero work for a while didn't mean her reflexes were dead! She giggled and looked around, putting most of her hair up into a high ponytail so that it wouldn't get in her eyes. ''It's so quiet out here. No traffic, no music or dancin' lights.'' She bent her back, just a little bit to touch some of the tallest strands of grass. Peace.

''Well, onward!'' She laughed, repeating what he had just said. As they walked deeper into the foliage, the forest's secrets theirs to discover, she suddenly let out an audible gasp. ''Chuck-kun, close yer eyes!'' She bent down and plucked something from the grass, before walking back over to him and placing it in his hair. ''Ya can open 'em now.'' She handed him her phone and turned the camera to selfie mode so he could see the flower she had stuck in there. ''It's so bright an' beautiful, don't ya think? Just like ya.'' She reached down to try and take his hand as they continued to walk. ''Ah'd love ta have room for a garden, an' takin' the lil ones inta the mountains when they're a little older could be fun too.''

Then she saw it.

The place that just might be it.

They weren't too far into the forest, perhaps five minutes or so on foot when they came to a beautiful meadow accentuated by a pathway of trees, wide enough to fit a car through. Then there was the open area, plenty for a family house, with room for a garden, maybe even a pond with little fish and frogs and stuff? She had no idea how that worked, but her mind was running wild!! ''It's pretty. What do ya think?'' She gave his hand a squeeze and looked down at him.

Irresistible. What I felt for Kazashi McCoy was attraction without end, her every smile n’ blush raw temptation for a soul ravenous for her alone. How could she be this impossibly cute n’ seductive at once? Every other girl paled in comparison 0.2 seconds into bumping into her at the Disney store. “You’re mine, y’know. Whole dream come true,” I breathed out, “n’ mine, all mine.” I was hella obviously the king of poets, trippin’ over my words!! Just couldn’t help myself when she looked like that, when she blessed me with her presence. All my insides got scrambled, heart everywhere in me at once. Then her kissy lips got my mind actin’ up all over again. “Y-yeah.” I lick my lips, intertwining our fingers n’ rocking them with a rhythm. “Wanna bet?” Tonight. Hell, when we get back. I’ll pull over, right the hell now!!

“Thank you, baby.” A flush ran up my neck. The radiance of her sweetness, her care, poured into me n’ I grew alive each n’ every time. I hella never pictured a day where I was gonna battle steel pipes, fighting to put them up while buildin’ a house, but I’d hella take that over pistols. That upcoming kiss lingers on my lips long after we’re done, steam and magic gushing behind my eyelids. On repeat, day in n’ day out, I could never get enough of her. Then I cracked a fat grin at her fancy tone, her hella cuteness!!! “The McCoy Estate!! Where we put up four-meter skeletons for Halloween n’ leave out a fatass cart of snacks for the delivery guys!!” I had an instantaneous vision of the kids I ain’t know yet, but love so intensely it hurts, ordering WcDonalds at 4 am and sneaking up to the front door to nab their meal from the drop off guys. Trying to not wake up mom and dad in the process, ain’t say a word when we ask what the unexpected bill was on our card the next day. I was gut punched so hard with emotion everything went white for a second. Made sense, the most gorgeous angel dropping blessings into my heart. “N’ my home, with you.” A hand snuck over hers over my chest, tightening. Home, heaven on earth, wherever my moongirl stood.

I hella felt it!! With each second the tires roll further into the dirt, slipping away from the city, I was more aligned with her. Living life out in the countryside, taking our kids camping on a whim, stargazing, whisking my gorgeous wife out into the woods for adventure. Space for ‘em to run n’ play!! Hella leagues away from how me n’ my girl were raised. Whole different planet, timeline. I greedily lean up and further into the kiss, hella amazed with her reflexes!! N’ the sumptuous full taste of her lips. “Yeah,” I idly say, mesmerized with her high ponytail. Everything picturesque here n’ she’s still the most gorgeous part of it!! I nod at what she says, gently reaching out an extra arm to support her as she bent down. “Can prolly see the stars at night.” What exactly do we need from the city, ‘gain?? If we grew n’ hunted all our food, kept ourselves entertained right here? It was like a splash of color I ain’t ever seen bleeding through the page, so vibrant you ain’t see anythin’ else!! Our house front n’ center.

A chuckle rocketed through my chest when she repeated what I said, her laugh a lullaby to my whole soul. It was hella hard to tear my eyes from hers, but I was starting to scan. Quiet was so unknown in the life I’d been living - always an enemy right ‘round the corner, trouble brewing before your next step. So when she gasps, I turn a lil too quickly, shock quickly making way for ecstatic joy. With the biggest grin plastered over my mug, I do exactly as she says, palms of my hands finding her hips in the darkness. When she opened up her phone to selfie mode n’ said what she did, I felt my whole soul melting. Red flushed over all my blue, a happy ound hitched in my throat. Gently, I’d wrap my hand over hers on the phone, nuzzling into her neck before taking a volley of selfies. Kissing her cheek, hugging her so tight maybe our kids could feel it too. “Thank you, Zāzā.” Then, cause I was embarrassed, cause it was true, I said all this other stuff!! “But you’re the hella most beautiful, Queen of the World and Hottest Mom Wifey in all the universe!!!” I nodded, hella takin’ mental notes and listening to everything she said. A garden? Her wish was my purpose! Envisioned exactly what she saw, couldn’t be happier to scale the mountains with our future teens.

A big breath rocked through my chest as she squeezed my hand. It was like she was divinely-guided, the halo of her light opening up a portal in the earth carved for just us. Like it’d been waiting here all along, unknown to the mortal eye. My head went wild with logistics, structural limitations that ain’t so limited at all - we could build a helluva house out here, a pond, a garden to give a botanic a run for its money. Striding just a few steps forward, I’d gently tug the flower out of my hair, pick a knife out from the holster at my chest. I slip the stem through the hole at the handle, then ram it into the ground. Our territory now.

“It’s perfect.”

You are.
