~Yall's POV~

I walk back in the bedroom, holding 2 cups of coffee, and plop down next to Kat, who had my phone in hand.

"Coffee? Great, man coffee is good don't you realize that?" Kat rambled, taking a drink from her cup while I grabbed my phone from her.

Opening it up, I look at the message from 'Unknown'.

???: (Y/N), meet me down by the water, under the willow?
*1 attached picture*

I open the picture and smile. It's the lake at Blossom Park; the same park everything started at. I decided to have a little foreplay, and continue on.

(Y/N): Are you the Lone Ranger, minding the willow?

I smirk and wait for a response.
"Ooh, lyric texts, that's cool!" Kat chimed in, looking over my shoulder. "Best way to get all the ladies."

"Then why haven't you got any?" I keep myself from laughing as Kat stared at me.

"I thought you were my friend-"

Diing

???: I have no wife, but once did live happily, planting this seed that grew through the reeds.

(Y/N): Would you wait through summers and winters and snowy Decembers?

???: I'll sit by the water, close to the embers, missing the one love I've ever ha~ad.

I laugh, then grin. Kat looked at me from the top of her coffee cup. "Gonna go get your Lone Ranger or what?"

(Y/N): I will meet you, and see you by 3:00 today.

???: Thank you.

Shutting off my phone, I go to my closet, and look through it. Grabbing a simple t-shirt and jeans, I quickly change into them.

Kat watched as I combed through my hair and decided that was enough.

"What if it's a stalker? What if someone wants to catch you and- what if it's a kidnapper!?!"

I roll my eyes. "That's why you're here."

~time skips m8~

Looking around, I walk on the path heading towards the lake. Birds chirped, and the whole place had a calming feel.

Arriving, I spot the willow, and notice the shadow underneath it.

My heart leapt into my throat. The shape was familiar; very familiar.

Then I started walking.

Don't get your hopes up

Then jogging.

Don't get your hopes up.

Then running, feet pounding against the ground.

Don't get your hopes up!

I push through the leaves, and find myself in the embrace of my Lone Ranger.

"How?" I ask, voice suddenly very small.

"Who cares about the how? All that you should care about is that I'm here.." his smooth, deep voice was a comfort blanket, and after these years,

After these many, many years,

I realize,

I've always wanted him.

I never stopped loving Dark.

~so what y'all think? It's getting good, hmm? Let's not care about anything else, just fluff yes please.
Bye my Rads and Bye Y'all!~
