Forever My Maid.

Funeral

"My girlfriend..." All of a sudden, the words Takumi had written seemed... Terrible. They were fake. They held none of the love he felt for her. And oh, he had felt much love for that woman. Much more than words could ever explain.

But all of that was gone. When Misaki died.... It took much of him, including his heart, and the ability to love. His happiness had been revoked as well. Takumi was... Nothing but a shell, with no reason to go on.

"MISAKI!" He cried out, pounding his fist on the podium. "Misaki..." He mumbled once more. The crowd was silent, many of her friends, and his family coming. Such a strange sight.

Clearing his throat, Takumi tried to pull himself together. "Misaki... Was a beautiful person... She was better than all of us, combined. So selfless, and committed.. No matter what the task was, she gave it her all, because she cared. I love her so much.. I LOVED HER!" Takumi yelled in rage, putting his hands in his hair, and biting his lip. He was going crazy, and it hadn't even been a month. How was he going to do this... A life without the girl he loved. The girl who moved him. And yes, he may have been giving the audience a show. They were sad as well, but one could only imagine  the pain he was going through.

In the back of the room, there was a soft hum. Everyone else was quiet. "Takumi...Takumi.." The voice sang.

~~~

"Takumi.. Wake up.." Misaki put her soft hand to his face. It seemed that he had crawled into her bed in the middle of the night. The hospital room was dark, and the door was closed. It was a quite nice hospital room, she mused.

And she could imagine him, lacking in sleep because of her. It almost made her not want to wake him.

"Misaki..." He whispered hoarsely, clinging to her body, and hiding his face in her neck. She could feel the dampness of his tears.

"Are you awake..?" She mumbled,  stroking his head.

"M...Misaki? You're alive!?" He asked, suddenly sitting up.

She hit his chest softly. "Don't be loud, dummy. You'll get kicked out." She stilled smirked a bit. "My body hurts a little.. Rather, I can't feel it all too well, but yes. I'm ali-

"Hey misa-chan.... Please marry me..."
Takumi proposed, laying back down slowly.

"W...what?!" She gasped, staring at him. If her eyes got any bigger, they'd fall out. "But we're just k-

"Kids. But no.. We're in college. We're adults now, capable of making lifelong decisions... So.. Misaki Ayuzawa, please marry me.." He whispered into her ear, wrapping his strong arms around her body. She was silent, her loopy mind in a whirl.

"Y...yes!.." She nodded slowly. And before she could say another word, his lips were on hers, kissing her slowly, passionately.

But of course, all good things come to an end, just like that kiss.
