I turned to my side to face him. He was just staring at the ceiling.

"Was that the "talk" you were talking about?" I asked him again. He faced me before smirking.

"Did you at least enjoyed our small "talk"?" He said.

"Well yeah.. Are you my boyfriend now?" I asked him. His smirk faded and he went back to staring at the ceiling again.

"Yes. Do you not like me?" He asked me.

"Hmm.. define "like".." I looked at him. He stayed silent so I copied him and stared at the ceiling. "Well.. if it means caring for someone with every fiber of my being and wanting to spend the rest of my life with them.." I looked at him and he was looking at me. "Like you said.. Then yes.. Maybe I do like you." I smiled at him. "It's weird saying that but I don't think I like you.. as a friend. Come to think of it.." I faced him this time. "You're always on my mind! Every time we're on mission I always think if you're okay, or if you did your daily patrols yet.. things like that. I don't know maybe I am crazy but hey.. I don't think its wrong to care for someone like that.. even if they don't feel the same." I smiled and tried to read his expression. Are you going to hurt me? Is it okay to be this vulnerable around you? Do you.. feel the same? I sighed and shrugged. "Ah well, its okay if you don't feel the same.." I laughed a little and turned around to face him but I was surprised when he engulfed me in a hug.

"Thank you." He said. "I promise to love you and only you in this lifetime.." I felt him kiss the crown of my head. "And in the next.." He planted another one. "In the next.." He kissed me a several times making me giggle.

"Stop. I didn't know you have this side." I looked at him and laughed. He rested his forehead on mine before kissing it.

"I told you. There's a lot of things you don't know about me." There was a bit of an awkward silence before Yuno decided to ask me a question.

"So tell me, do you have any.. happy memories back then?" I thought about it for a moment. Did I? I can clearly remember myself laughing while killing people. I shuddered at the thought. Then it came to me.. would he hate me for killing a bunch of people? Would he be disgusted.. or afraid that I might do it again? Not that I will...

"Well, I.. back then.. I can remember myself laughing one time.." I started and looked up to him to see if he was listening. He hummed in response so I took that as a sign to continue. "I was tearing this guy's limb.." I saw his face wrinkled.

"What?" He said. "Was he a bad guy?" He asked me.

"Yep.." I nodded. "He had this.. compound full of children and women and he.. he used to rape the women and chil-"

"I guess.. that is enough reason for you to kill him then." He said.

"I never.. killed innocent people.." I hesitantly said. "At least that's what the higher-ups told us." I bit my lip. What if some of the people I killed were innocent? I looked at Yuno. "What if they were innocent?"

"Innocent or not.. you were just a kid back then. You didn't know anything. You were being manipulated to do the dirty work..." I nodded at his words. But still, I was the one who took their lives.. "Hey.. you didn't do anything wrong." He caressed my head to comfort me. "You've done bad things in your past, yeah.. but that doesn't make you an evil person." I looked at him.
