Chapter 10: Epilogue Sorta Last Chapter Thing

:P

Manfred looked up as something wet fell onto his head. "Asa…" The red-haired boy was standing hunched over, hand over his mouth, sobbing gently, tears flowing freely from his pained yellow eyes.

Both hearts lay out in the open, torn and bleeding. The air settled around them, waiting silently. There was not a sound, save for the snuffling that escaped Asa.

Manfred stood up, silently. There was only a moment before Asa threw himself back into Manfred's arms, sniffling pitifully. "I'm sorry I acted so violently."

"You're not allowed to apologise because it's all my fault. Now, stop." Manfred took Asa's chin in his hand and forced him to look up. "What's the sitch?"

Asa gave a watery smile and whispered, "I forgive you…on the condition this never happens again."

"You got a deal," Manfred mumbled, lips finding a familiar, welcoming place on Asa's.

Dale returned with a bottle of fruit punch. The strangest sight met him as he turned the corner… the world went black as he fainted in shock.

And the couple, reunited, took no notice. They were busy at the moment…

fin.
