Finding Home || Kazutora Hanemiya

Chapter 34 - Epilogue

One year later

It was the most wonderful time of the year again, well, this year it definitely was, because last time you almost ruined it when you kicked the love of your life out of your apartment.

Kazutora and you agreed that he's gonna cook the dinner, and you're going to take care of the dessert, and decorate the tree. You decided to make the dessert first so Kazutora could have the kitchen for himself while you were decorating. Just when you were adding the last ornament, you heard as Kazutora walked out of the kitchen.

"It's so weird that even with the tree inside we still have so much room." he said and you turned to him with a smile.

In the summer, both of you agreed on to move in a bigger apartment. Everything was bigger in it, and it even had one more room, so Tora could sleep over, whenever she wanted.

Kazutora walked over to you, circled his arms around your waist, as he looked at the Christmas tree.

"It's beautiful, honey." he said, kissing your hair. "Wanna eat dinner first, or should we give the presents?"

Your eyes widened and you turned around in his arms, looking at him in shock.

"Presents?! I thought we agreed that we don't buy presents for each other!"

Kazutora gave you a playful pout. He bought something for you, but he didn't mind that you didn't, he had some ideas how you could make it up to him after all...

"Really? A pout? You're not even mad that I haven't bought you anything?"

Kazutora just looked at you with admiration in his eyes, while he shook his head and caressed your sides.

"I have everything I want in my arms."

You smiled at him, touched by his words, then you saw how he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Or~, since everything is closed now, maybe I can ask for something, which can't be exchanged for money... Well, unless someone is working as a wh..."

"Oh my god!" you slapped his arm, making him laugh loudly at your reaction. "Well, since you don't care if you get presents or not..." you started as you stepped away from him and reached behind the tree, pulling out a big flat gift, wrapped in pretty Christmas paper, and walked past Kazutora. "...I give this to the neighbor, I'm sure he's gonna apprecia..."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait!" he said as he grabbed one of your arms, and pulled you back to him "What's that?" he asked excited.

You smiled as he was eyeing it, and you held it out for him.

"Merry Christmas, Kazutora!"

Kazutora grinned widely, and sat on the couch, putting the gift in his lap, trying to open it without damaging the paper too much, but then he got impatient and teared it apart.

You laughed and sat next to him so you can better see his reaction.

His eyes widened as he saw the comic inside.

"The Dark Knight Returns! That was my favourite comic as a kid!" he said excited.

"Yeah, Baji told me how sad you were when you didn't find it before you moved into the orphanage."

"And it looks like the one which I had." he said as he quickly went through the pages.

"Mhm, I grabbed your friend and told him we're not stopping until we find the right edition."

Kazutora laughed and he leaned over to kiss you softly.

"It's perfect, thank you."

You kissed him back and Kazutora put the comic down on the coffee table.
