I was right, maybe the universe does have something good waiting for me.
The evening went by with us laughing and Eugene, and cursing out mother gothel. 

During her musical sequence "mother knows best". Nazeera scoffed.

"You know, this was really a blow to me when i was younger because i did think mother knows best, but honestly looking back at this, for me this was a huge shade to how mothers don't always know what's best. Although, i get how she isn't her real mother, it still just makes sense"

"Yeah i get what you're trying to say. I don't really remember that much from my parents anyways" I reply, laughing it off.

"Yeah and mine was a killing machine who had me bleed out for hours on end" Nazeera said. I think she's trying to joke about it. I was left gaping at her with a stupidly lost expression on my face.

She noticed the silence and looked at me, studied my features for a minute and then burst out laughing, leaving me even more confused.

"I- kenji, i didn't think you'd be this shocked" She said in between laughs.

"Gurl- i'm just surprised alright" I reply, still a bit out of words but getting there. Talk about dark humor.

We continued the movie, laughing at each other, joke screaming at the TV screen, eating everything we could get our hands on.

But when the boat scene came up i felt a slight weight on my shoulders, i looked down to see Nazeera leaning her head upon my shoulder, her face slightly covered by the fabric of my shirt. I felt warm, comfortable, it was like a fire had been lit in my heart, not the kind of fire that was burning everything, the kind that caused havoc, but the kind that was warm and felt like home.

I felt almost as if time had stopped, the earth had stopped rotating on its axis, the birds have stopped chirping and the only thing i could feel is the warmth if Nazeera against me.

I was contemplating what to do next. She looked comfortable and i didn't want to move to disturb her in any way possible. I moved my arm carefully around her, enveloping her in a small hug. I felt her adjust a bit in my arms. In this moment, all i could think of was her. Her warmth, the way her hair smelled so good, the homey feeling tingling me from the inside, making me feel calm.
Everything felt complete.

I look down at her, an admiring smile forming on my face, and then back towards the TV screen. We spent the night like this, wrapped in each others arms, warm and content.

This may have been the best thing to ever happen until now. Thank you universe, for whatever game your playing.
