I flew across some landmarks and other historical sights but none could change my feelings that just happened. I just....don't know how to process this....sigh...If I'm going to think I need to land somewhere...hm..oh! I'll go hang out at Tai's place maybe he'll be there.

I flew another twenty minutes then landed in front of Tai's house. Ah...I remember when me and him first build this house when Yang was only a little baby. Poor Tai was so cautious and scared of raising a daughter by himself. Honestly I kinda felt bad for him, so I helped him for a whole year. It kinda taught me a few things like...to never have a child. Yea...great tip.

I walked to the door and knocked on it softly. Then I heard some footsteps and the door handle turned. I don't know why but I feel a bit nervous...I mean I haven't seen Tai since we decided to part ways but...still though what's this feeling.

"Hey sweet nook" said Tai as he gave me one of his tightest hugs

"H-Hey caramel" I managed to say as I struggled to breathe

I kinda forgotten how muscular he was before he met Raven. But now after all that he's still smiling but also hurting Inside.

"Come in come in, it's been awhile since I've had a guest" he says as I walk in slowly

I sat down on a light cream colored cough as I watched him go into the kitchen and fix some food. I looked around the living room. It's rather decent so say the least for a man that is.

"Hey I hope you like pasta" he says as he places the tray on the table

"Ooo your world famous Cheesy pasta" I say

"Your the only one that liked it" he giggles and started eating a fork full of it

We ate the pasta and chatted throughout the evening. It feels good to be reunited with a more...pure...teammate. It honestly felt nice.

"Tai...can I tell you something" I say as I put my plate down

"Sure Nook what's up?" He says

"....I'm sorry" I say in a sad voice

"Sorry for what? He says as he looks at me

I begin to cry and cry as I continued to think about the past. How much I saw him suffering without his lover and baby mother beside him. How much he cried every night blaming himself. He kept saying he was a cruse to everything he loved but yet he was scared of losing his baby. And when Ruby came but summer dead he got more and more depressed. It was hard for him to explain it to yang but at her age she knew what death was. But ruby....It hurt her harder than it did for Tai. I still remember the look on her face when qrow told her. She cried for days and weeks just screaming "mommy".

"I...I..." I mummered out as I felt strong body hugging me

"You were there when I needed help. You were the sunshine to my darkness. I know that we promised not to lose each other but yet your still here after all the hell I put you through. So if anyone is sorry it should be me. You don't have to feel guilty" he said as he rubbed my back

He was right I shouldn't feel guilty but I do. I was there when summer died. Her death wish was for me to take care of ruby and yang for her, and I still continue to do just that although they don't remember me.

After a few minutes, I got up and thanked Tai for the meal then headed to the door.

"Are you sure you want to leave there's always a spare room" he says while leaning on the door frame

"Well I got bills to pay too yea know" I say

"Let me ask you something" he says

"Go ahead"

"Do you love Ozpin?" He says

I stayed there stunned then turns around to face him.

"Well I mean..I.." I stutter

"it's a yes or no question" he says more serious

"Between" I say

"Why between?" He asked as he fold him arms

"Well think about it this way...is love really about sexuality or emotional desires?" I say as I levitated up then flew away

"Sexual is a form of showing love. But emotional desires...well that's up to the other lovers to decide"
