Part 2 of Banner

Emile sat down on his bed and patted the spot next to him, gesturing for Remy to sit down. The coffee addict sat down as Emile began to speak.

"I've been overwhelmed and caught up in so much work that it's been too much for me. Everyone has been venting and coming to me for advice, even Remus. I just haven't had enough time for myself, I guess. And now, I'm wondering if that's selfish of me..." Emile muttered the last sentence.

"It's not selfish of you at all, Em!" Remy shouted that Emile jumped at the sudden noise, "Sorry- but, you do need a break..."

Remy thought for a second as Emile sat next to him quietly, shuffling his feet on the floor.

"That's it!" Remy stood up, a burst of inspiration hitting him. Emile jumped again from the sudden loudness, "Come on."

Remy grabbed Emile's hand and dragged him along. Emile silently thinking, 'Where are we going...?'

Remy pushed open the Imagination doors, still holding Emile's hand.

Together they walked along the path into the woods up until Remy pulled Emile off the path and into the bushes. Emile looked around and noticed that there were a few fallen down trees and a few creeks and streams of water.

"Watch your step up ahead," Remy spoke up as they came across a river. Emile noticed rocks that they could jump on to get across. The bubbly therapist also heard rushing water a few feet up ahead and looked over to see that the river went down into a waterfall. It was only inches long, but it was a waterfall, nonetheless.

Remy jumped on the first rock, then the second. He turned to Emile and reached a hand over to him. Emile smiled and jumped onto the first rock. He lost footing, making him bump into Remy. Remy nearly lost his footing but balanced in time. He sighed in relief and noticed that Emile was holding onto him tightly.

Remy chuckled, "You can let go now, babes."

"O-Oh, sorry..." Emile smiled awkwardly and let go slowly.

"It's alright, you can hold onto me anytime." Remy pulled his sunglasses down his face a bit, winking at him before bringing them back up, "Now, after you."

Emile felt his heart race as Remy grabbed his hand, waiting for Emile to jump to the next rock as well as standing behind him in case he fell. But, besides Remy's attempts to usher Emile forward, Emile was still scared that his legs were shaking. The coffee addict noticed his friend's grip tighten around his hand.

Remy remembered something vital that happened when he and Emile were kids.

Emile was scared to let go...

When Emile got himself in a tree to save a stray kitten of a village, he had gotten stuck in it along with the kitten. Remy had to save Emile and the kitten, but it was very hard since Emile was scared to jump down. The kitten wasn't since it could land on its feet if it wanted to. But Remy had to climb the tree himself to get Emile down.

There were also multiple times that happened with ice skating and roller skating where Emile either wouldn't let go of the person he was with or the wall.

"Emile, I know you're scared, but you have to let go," Remy said.

"I- I c-can't..." Emile muttered.

Remy thought of something. He smiled and began to sing,

"I was running on an empty heart,
Not a trace of gasoline
Trying to dim every single spark
That could hurt, that could burn all of me

Like a soldier on the battleground
Lying wounded on the field
I was fighting alone with a broken sword
Now I'm caught in a war with no shield.
"

Emile seemed surprised at Remy's sudden singing and Remy saw him glance at him.

"If you hold me now and leave me never,
Say you'll stay with me forever
Then I surrender, surrender
If you hold me now and leave me never,
Say you'll stay with me forever
Then I surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender.
"

Emile let Remy's hand go as he jumped to the next rock. He nearly slipped, but the coffee connoisseur caught him. Remy nodded slightly and Emile nodded back as he grinned.

After they jumped across the river, Remy pulled him along the forest, continuing to sing.

"I pushed and pulled all the ones that tried,
Then I watched them fade away
As I look around a vacant room,
I see nobody left here to blame.

'Cause I made myself a prisoner
Shackled up by all my fears
But I feel you breaking away at the walls,
Make them fall make them all disappear.

If you hold me now and leave me never,
Say you'll stay with me forever
Then I surrender, surrender
If you hold me now and leave me never,
Say you'll stay with me forever
Then I surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender.
"

Remy moved away a few branches full of leaves out of the way, showing Emile what he dragged him to.

"Hold me now and leave me never,
Say you'll stay with me forever
Then I surrender, surrender
Then I surrender, surrender...
"

Remy finished the song and walked to where he was standing beside Emile. Remy looked at Emile and knew that Emile was in awe, "Do you like the view?"

The view was truly something out of a fairytale. (Almost typed fairytail as in the anime)

"I love it!" Emile grinned as tears sprung into his eyes.

"Please tell me those are happy tears," Remy said quickly.

"Of course, they are!" Emile giggled as he hugged Remy tightly, "Thank you, Remy..."

"You're welcome, Emile," Remy replied with a small smile.

Emile pulled away and placed a kiss on Remy's cheek, "I love you."

Remy blushed, "I l-love you too..."

Emile gasped, "I got the sassy Remy to stutter and blush!? This is a first for anyone in history!"

Remy huffed and booped Emile's nose, "You're lucky you're cute."

Emile giggled.

As for the scenery...

It was a Sakura Tree Forest overlooked by a cliff as the sun was slowly setting.
