Friday, February 12

Mai was sitting by one of the office's windows looking out at the people below. They hustling and bustling about from shopping, eating, or walking with purpose to their next destination. And despite the chilly day, the sun was shining and the evergreen trees swayed slightly in the breeze. She wondered if the people below notice how good the day was? If Naru knew how beautiful today was?

She sighed contently as her thought wonder over from the scenery to her boyfriend. They had been dating for a little over a month and they took turns deciding where they should go on a date. It was his turn this time and usually when he picked some place to go it was a walk in the park. They would pick a bench under a large tree and snuggle for warmth. Often they just ended up making out but sometimes she would ask him little things like what his favorite color was or what teas he preferred. Though when she asked about his family he tended to dodge the question or change the subject.

She had picked a nice little restaurant for their last date where they served really great tea. Usually when they went to a place she picked he would as her questions about school or they kissed but recently he wanted to know more and more about her parents. At first Mai hesitated but once she got started, telling him the quirky things about her mom or the vague things about her dad became easier.

'Naru was careful when he asked about them… like he understood exactly how it felt to lose loved ones,' She thought with a sad smile, getting up away from the window. 'Maybe… I'll show him their graves when it's my turn to pick the place.'

The petite brunette walked to the kitchenette, getting the feeling that her incredibly attractive boss was about to call for tea. "Tea, Tea, what kind of tea should I make today?" She said in a sing song voice, her fingers lightly skimming over the tin canisters of tea until she reached the container marked Earl Gray. "This one looks good!"

"Mai, Tea!" she heard as she was going through the motions of preparing the tea.

After it was done she placed three cups on the tray. Stopping by Lin's office she delivered his tea and then walked to Naru's. Knocking lightly she carefully eased the door open and tapped it closed behind her with her foot. Mai placed the tray down on his desk and then, right as she switched the old cup for the new, he spoke.

"Would you mind staying for a bit?" He asked. The sound of his deep smooth voice made her heart pound. She looked up to see that he was facing the window, had he been enjoying the same view she had just moments before?

"Sure," she replied sitting in one of the black leather chairs with her teacup. "Is it about an up coming case? Should I call the others?"

As he spun around to face her, he looked down at the papers on his desk before his gaze met her questioning brown eyes. "No," he replied. "I have a lot of things I need to talk to you about."

The raven hair teen's face was solemn, his blue eyes full of uncertainly as if he was questioning one of his own decisions. "Naru, you can tell me anything." Mai stood and placed her cup on the tray that was still resting on the desk. Then she came up to him and hugged his shoulders. He responded by pulling her into his lap.

"I want to know Mai, will you love me no matter what happens?" He whispered in her ear, pulling her into a tight embrace.

"Naru are you alright?" Mai pulled back to look into his face worried. 'He's acting so strange! Where is the over confident, stoic, narcissist?'

"Will you or will you not?" He asked more forcefully.

"I love you more than anyone, possibly even more than my parents." Mai struggled with the last part but she knew it was true. "No, I love you even more." She looked directly into his dark sapphire blue eyes.

He smiled briefly, he knew it was a hard choice. But hearing her say it was exactly what he need.

"I will start off with who I really am…" He began.

This is especially for xSapphirexRosesxFanx! She pointed out in her review what I forgot and I hope that this end satisfies :]
