Chapter Six

Laurance POV:

I didn't mean to snap at them. I just wish she'd let people in. I just want to try and make her happy.

I hear footsteps behind me as the grave glistens in the late morning sun. I assume they must belong to Aphmau, doing her morning rounds. I put on a fake smile and turn around but it drops.

In front of me, I see Makoto in tears. Her dark eyes sparkling with her diamonds. I know I shouldn't but my first reaction is to pull her against me, so I do. She sobs into my chest.

"I-I-I'm-m s-s-sor-rry." She stutters.

"Me too." I whisper into her hair.

"I know y-you j-just want me t-to be ha-happy." She manages through sobs.

"I do. I know it seems impossible but I want to make you happy. I'm going to do everything I can to make you happy." I confess.

"We will help too." A voice appears from behind us. Garroth.

"Sorry for startling you guys but we kinda overheard. We want to bring you happiness." A voice I used to love joins in. Aphmau.

Makoto pulls away from me. Damn it.

"Th-thank y-you." She stutters as she falls into Aphmau's embrace.

"Im sorry for breaking our promise Makoto, but I had to tell her." Garroth mutters guiltily.

"I-it's okay.." She manages as she pulls away from Aphmau and wipes her tears away even though new ones began to form straight away.

It was Garroth's turn to embrace her. She melted into him immediately, his arms held her protectively, lovingly - damn it. Here we go again.

"Shh, it's okay." He whispered softly into her ear while stroking her hair.

I glance at Aphmau and see an envious but loving expression on her face. They both love him? Are you serious?

Well, at least I get whoever doesn't get him.

"I'm going to go home and have a shower and rest for awhile. I'll see you later." She says in a voice just above a whisper.

We all nod and Garroth whispers, "I'll escort you home?"

She nods softly and he wraps an arm around her waist and guides her home.

Both Aphmau and I stood there an envy yet sympathy, well more empathy for me.

"You like him, don't you?" I ask her.

She sighs and nods. "It just kinda happened. You're falling for Makoto too, aren't you?" She replies.

I nod. "It just kinda happened, my love." I tease.

She lets out a weak chuckle and grabs my hand and rubs it with her thumb.

I smile at her and squeeze her hand.

"Well I better get back to walking around. I'll talk to you later Laurance." She mutters as she lets go of my hand.

I nod and sigh as she walks away. I turn my attention back to Ungrth's grave.

I pray to Irene for his soul to blessed.

I then go back to patrol that I was meant to start four hours ago.
