My teeth grit and I pull him to me again, ''Don't be, I love you no matter what... Even if you do seems to be turning out like Angel."

She's holding me close, even as she says the one thing to be sure to push me away.
"Namine.... how...?"
Come on, Neku, don't lie to yourself. You know how.
But...
"You think... You think I'm...."
I had to. I had to choke it out. I couldn't look her in the eye, but... it made sense...
Namine didn't think my mother had meant she was an Otherborn, like I thought. Namine thought she was telling me she was a halfer.
"....you think I'm part... part demon..."
Like Angel.
Like Angel.

Well... At least...
"Yeah... Sorta..."

My eyes closed, and I hugged her close. My brain didn't want to think about what she said... didn't want to think about what I was thinking of.
Part demon? I guess it was possible. I didn't know anything about my parents. I didn't know if they were Otherborn, human, half-demons.... whole....
No. No, I knew that with everything I was. I wasn't a demon. I just wasn't!
But.... if I were half... it would explain all of this.
But... I couldn't. If I were... someone would've known. Lea could tell if someone was a demon or a Halfer or whatever, and I'd known him forever.
If I weren't human, Lea would know.
I relaxed a little, still holding Namine.
"Thank you," I said, "for telling me what... what you think."
Then I shook my head. "But.... I have to know. Who was that voice, at the end? It was just so... so familiar...."

I let out a slow breath, "Don't worry... We'll figure it out... I promise..."
I just hope we do together... I'm not sure who, I don't want to know... What if his past...
Rips him away from me.
Like...
Like Neku had...
"Hey... Can we just stay like this for a while."
Once he did that he sealed his fate... He can't ever leave me now...
"Please?"

"Sure," I said. I didn't ever want to let go, and I agreed, I wanted her here, where I could protect her. I held her close, finally, unity once again. I felt tears fall down my face, and I wondered which me was crying, but... I realized I didn't care.
"I love you," I said, desperately. "I need you. I don't ever want you to go away..." I held her to me, my fingers finding their way into and through her hair, soft, silky. My mind clutched to this feeling, latched onto it, held it like a lifeline.
Namine is a rock in a storm. I've said ti before but it's worth saying again. My life was turning upside down... and she was here. Comforting me.

Leaning forward I kiss his tears away and then touch noses with him, "I love you too, I need you too, I can't ever lose you either."
I promise to never leave you, as long as I shall live if you promise the same, I think at him as I gaze into his teary eyes.

As long as we both shall live, I thought back. The phrase just came unbidden to my mind, but I smiled.
"Hey, Nami... let's make a promise," I said to her. "I mean... I don't have... what people usually use to make a promise like that, but... let's promise. To always be together... no matter what. A real promise, I'll get you.... something.... to make it real. Tomorrow." I could get lost in her eyes. Sad, and happy, and worried, and beautiful. "Let's promise..."

"....!!!"
Oh.
My.
GAWD!
"... Neku... I..."
I smile at him and nod, "Yes, yes, I do, yes, yes. Promise, I promise...!"

I just proposed to a girl, didn't I? my brain asked, still spinning from too much pain and too much happiness in quick succession.
I think I just proposed to my girlfriend. I think I just proposed to my girlfriend.
Wait. SHE SAID YES.
Just a promise ring, I told myself. We'll... we'll get into the details of what that means later.
I nodded. "I... I promise too."
Then I kissed her again. Not a desperate kiss, like last time; a passionate, slow, soft kiss, full of only my emotions.
Sealed with a kiss, I thought to her, not caring whether or not it actually got through.

I kiss him back, feeling all his emotions as my own. And... for the first time in six months...
I.
Feel.
Complete.

Yes. Completeness. He felt it from inside the apartment, warm and happy and altogether human but it was, in some ways, a total lie. He let himself smirk, sending a tendril through their happy thoughts and finding it hooking across their buried doubts, and the smirk widened. Not all was well in paradise, was it?
He knocked at the door. A simple sound, nowhere near as foreboding as his presence outside it. And then he waited...

Blinking I pull away and turn my head to the door, "You stay here." And then I am on my feet, heading for the door. Once at it I shout out. "Who is it?"

"Is Neku home?"
The voice he used was the one she'd be familiar with. Oh, well, there went that alias... but he wouldn't really need it anymore. If it allowed him to be let in... it had served its purpose.

I raise a brow and then frown, "Yes, but he is resting... Whatever you need..." I open the door with crossed arms and a glare. "You can take up with me."
