Chapter 138: The Best Is Yet To Come

Slowly, YN's consciousness began to come back to him.

He could still feel there was an extreme fatigue all over his body, but gone were the most serious injuries he had felt before passing out.

It was definitely somewhat chilly where he was, but at least his head was warm. Why was that though? It was obvious from the faint sound of leaves rustling in a gentle breeze he was still outside.

Is my head resting on something?

Deciding to open his eyes, YN's immediate view was the twilight sky above, encircled by the tops of trees, just still barely lit by the sun's last rays of light dancing atop their farthest upward branches. The first stars of the night had already come to show themselves.

As he looked above this display though, the silhouette of a familiar shape caught the corner of his eyes, and for a moment, YN's breath hitched in his throat at its shape.

This outline he saw, belonging to the one that held his heart above all else caused his heart to suddenly begin to pound. His eyes going wide, it unfocused his recovering vision for a moment as the scope of what he saw broadened.

Ah...

As the hope in his heart welled up for her, it was eventually made hollow as the silhouette in his vision came to have color.

There was not azure blue he had dreamed and longed for it to be. Encrowned by the day's departure of faint subsiding rays of pink in the sky, rather, this figure was akin in color to those fading rays.

Peach colored, its shape was that of what azure YN had hoped it was, although mirrored.

I guess it can't be her... But this is okay too.

Realizing from the angle of where he was, as his mind woke up more too, YN began to see how foolish he was for initially thinking this was the one he missed so intensely.

I guess it makes sense her's is similar, but isn't as soft.

Where his head lied was familiar, but only the one who loved him so had such soft thighs. The black fabric and white apron all felt the same upon his head, as they were identical between the two, however, YN could feel this one was definitely torn and tattered.

YN had awoken with his head on Ram's lap, giving his head a pillow as he had remained unconscious.

Ram: How nice it is, for you to finally join us.

Immediately was Ram's usual tone and demeanor what YN had come to know and expect.

Except now, as he looked up to see her face, YN could see both her ruby eyes from this angle, as he was below her bangs. From this exchange of eye contact, an unexpected hint of bashfulness entered Ram's voice.

Ram: You are the last to wake up. Although, Ram believes you've earned that...

As he gained his bearings more as he awoke to Ram's words, YN was about to ask what had become of Garfiel now, although as he looked about, he quickly spotted him.

YN: Garf?

While YN's voice was definitely groggy sounding, his spoken words carried enough volume to be easily heard by the golden-haired youth who was off to the side, also sitting but pouting, arms crossed as he was.

Garfiel: How ya feelin'?

Somewhat surprised to hear such a civil thing come from him, given what had just gone on between the two, YN answered dryly.
