The Two Puzzle Pieces (Joscarl)

Happily Ever after

As Aesop walked back to his room, he felt a huge wave of relief wash over him. he was allowed to be with Joseph and be happy. there would be no more worry and separation. Even though the others knew and disapproved, Aesop did not give one crap. At least he was going to be forever happy with the person he loved most, Joseph. He skipped all the way to his room in glee, and then, he came up with a great idea. He was going to visit his mom's grave and tell her all the good news. After all, all that his mother wanted was someone to love and care for Aesop after he died. He planned to bring the yellow flowers from the greenhouse in the manor and place it at his mother's grave. 

Aesop then prepared to go out to the greenhouse to get the flowers and visit his mom's grave before meeting Joseph in the camera world at six. Aesop prepped his things to get ready to leave his room, and went out the door and locked it. He then started to hum a a tune while strolling down the hall to go to the greenhouse, where all the plants and specimens of Melly's (Entomologist) bug were. Aesop always loved to see her specimens, and wished that he could embalm them one day. After walking for a while, he found the yellow roses that he planted in the garden, and plucked a few with the utmost care. He then found a small vase to put them in, and walked out of the greenhouse. 

Aesop then went to the manor's gates and walked out, feeling heavy atmosphere weigh him down. The city that the manor was situated in was Aesop's hometown, and the cemetery was just across from the manor. People in the manor say that this is where most of the people in the manor or their loved ones were buried once they came here. Most of the hunters were rumored to be ghosts that accidentally drifted from the cemetery and landed themselves in the manor's contract so that they could achieve their goal/wish. 

Aesop walked in silence the entire way, reminicising about when his mother was still healthy and alive, and when that retched man had not poisoned his mother. Hate and anger boiled up in Aesop as he thought about the man, but at least he was rotting in hell, and that's all that mattered to Aesop. 

Once Aesop reached the cemetery, he looked for the gravestone that was covered in yellow roses, and his mother's grave was the easiest to spot out of all the dead graves. He passed by a few graves, under the hunter's names. Grace, Leo Beck, and some survivors lie there, not resting in peace as their relatives wished and their gravestones stated. Aesop planned to pay his respects to all of them after he had talked to his mother. Once Aesop reached his mother's grave, he bent down onto the ground, and said, 

"Hello mom. I'm sorry it's been such a long time. I miss you a lot, and I have the greatest news for you. I have someone who loves me now. He loves me just as much as you did. He's a Hunter in the manor where I play the games that I told you about a long time ago. His name is Joseph, and his role is a photographer. He's very tall, french, has blond hair and blue eyes, and is very nice. I'm sure you'll love him. Once I'm done playing this game, you will finally be reunited with me, and you can finally meet my boyfriend. I hope that one day, we can all be together and be happy with one another." 

After Aesop said that, he sighed, and put the yellow flowers onto his mother's grave. A gust of light and warm air suddenly blew through the cemetery, cutting through the cold thick air like fabric scissors slicing through fabric. Aesop immediately knew that this was a sign from his mother, and judging from the sudden air, she was very excited and happy for Aesop. Aesop then looked at his mother's grave and smiled. 

"Thank you, mom. You don't know how much that meant to me." Aesop then got up and waved goodbye to the gravestone of his mother, and paid respects to the others.

Once Aesop got back into the manor, he felt as if something was lifted off of his shoulders. It was already near six, so Aesop rushed into his room and shut the door so that he could open the camera world to see Joseph. 

Aesop grabbed the camera out of its hiding place in his table, and set it on his bed. He then turned it on, and went into the comfort of the illusion. 

Aesop found himself in an endless plain of flowers and a big tree in the middle. Beside the tree, stood Joseph with a picnic mat on the ground. Aesop took a moment to soak in this happy memory, and rushed towards Joseph to give him a hug. After a while of hugging, Aesop and Joseph sat down on the mat and talked about how they now felt and what they wanted to do next. They talked and laughed just like they did when they met in the first night, and they were just happy to be back together. 

They sat there as the sun sank down below the plains and the moon and stars started to get brighter. It was a full moon, and the moon illuminated the sky just like the sun. After a while, Joseph pulled out some snacks from a tiny basket, and shared his food with Aesop too. Once they were finished, Joseph then asked Aesop to stand up for a bit and close his eyes. 

Aesop did as he was told, curious as to what Joseph was about to do. Was Joseph going to play a prank on him? 

Joseph then stood up to his full height as well, which was only about 7 feet. He slipped a little dark blue box out of his pocket, and he took a few breaths. He then said to Aesop,

"Open your eyes, darling. I have a big surprise for you." 

As Aesop opened his eyes, Joseph got down on one knee and opened the dark blue box to reveal a small, silver ring in it. It shined and glittered in the moonlight, almost looking ethereal. Aesop stood there in shock with his hands covering his mouth, and Joseph then said, 

"Aesop Carl, once we get out of this manor, would you like to take the last name of Delsaulniers?"

Aesop then said, 

"Yes, I would love to have the last name of Delsaulniers."

Joseph then smiled warmly at Aesop, and slipped the ring on Aesops's ring finger as a promise ring to marry eachother once they were out of the manor. Aesop admired the ring in the warm light of the stars and moon and kissed Joseph right then and there. 

Fate had destined them to be together, and destiny had built them to be the most perfect two puzzle pieces.
