31st love | the freedom she deserves

"Ah! Look at the moon Paxley! Doesn't it look so round?" She expressed to herself while we walked alone on the dry and humid sand with the ocean water taking a grasp of our feet. We were walking together, but she was taking ten more steps ahead of me.

It was almost sunset, and the moon has already made its appearance. The others have been taking a swim, and some have been enjoying the grill. They're taking the chances they can't get since this will be the last trip we can make as classmates.

"Are you fascinated by the moon?"

"A little."

"A little?"

"Yeah. It's because I want to know more about it when I travel the seven seas during night. I want to touch it with my own hands." She said whilst putting her hand on the pink and orange sky making a point for the moon with her one eye making a goal for it.

"I'll definitely touch the moon!"

When she continued walking, leaving footprints along the way, I thought to myself what she said on our first adventure.

[ What if...we became a real couple? ]

Thinking about it made my heart pound out of its normal rate.

"Hey, Baroque."

"Hmm?"

"I think I can give you an answer now."

"Answer? About what?"

"The day you asked me if we can be a couple. If we quit this fake love we've been putting up on."

"I..I don't want to hear it!"

"W-What?"

"Tell me...on the day we'll get married." Baroque replied as she turned her back and putted her hands together upfront.

Her voice was trembling. I ran up to her, and placed my hands on her shoulders. She was...crying. It might be filled with joy, but her expression on her face doesn't match the tears she's shedding.

"Wait- why are you crying? Don't you like me as well? If you don't, then I'll be the one waiting this time!"

"It's not it."

"Then tell me."

"I like you too, Gusion Paxley. I can't wait to last a lifetime with you." She told him dearly. She wiped her tears while laughing out of joy, knowing that he loves her after several months, thus a year.

She had never expected this for she only knows that the Paxley boy only had eyes for the doctor's angel. He finally wrapped his arms around her with concern and love. It wasn't out of consent. It really was true this time.

More tears came falling down her face once she felt his gentle touch on her skin. She hugged him tight as well, just as she always wished.

"I like you Baroque."

"Geez! For goodness sake! Can you stop calling me by my last name? I have a beautiful name! Why don't you start calling me by it?"

"G-Guinevere?"

"Precisely. I shall call you Gusion from now on then."

They held hands until they reached the beach house, with grip that is almost unbreakable. They enjoyed the grill Mr. Future Vampire Hunter has prepared, and Ms. Little Red Hood had told them to enjoy the fireworks afterwards.
