WHY THE HEAVENS CRY
I DON'T OWN KINGDOM HEARTS OR ANY OTHER CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS OR SETTINGS ETC ASSOCIATED IN THIS STORY. Please review.
Chapter25: Why the Heavens cry?" Terra!...T-Terra…..Terra…" She continued to call out his name between sobs but all in vain. His lifeless body would give no response to her relentless tears that fell on his cold body. Aqua continued to cry, even more than before considering how Terra proposed to her.
" Yes! Yes! I would've said yes! Just please! Come back to me!" Her pleas fell on dead ears. She looked at the sky and begged the heavens to bring back Terra but all she got in response was the mourning of the heavens themselves….rain.
" Terra….I love you…from the first day we met…I loved you…..when we argued, I loved you….when we walked together, I loved you….when we fought together, I loved you….when you smiled….when you hugged me….when you kissed me…I love you!" she continued to pound her fists into Terra as she cried. " I always wanted to be with you…..I always wanted to marry you!...just please….come back!" Aqua arms lost all strength as she lay there, next to Terra and placed one hand over his chest. " I'll never leave you…..even if I have to stay like this for a lifetime…" she lay there next to him, her eyes began to shut. They stayed like that for what seemed like eternity until Aqua got an idea.
" I promise we'll be together…since you're up there then….." Aqua got up and sat in a cross legged position as she summoned Rainfall. She placed the edge against her throat, ready to make her decision as she spoke her last words.
" I don't want a life if you're not in it." With that she tightened her grip on Rainfall but suddenly she lost all control when something touched her. Rainfall fell from her hands as something wrapped their arms around her waist and buried their face into her neck. Aqua skipped a heartbeat as she found that touch familiar. The feeling was as natural as breathing. And only one person in the entire universe could make her feel that way.
" T-Terra….." tears found their way back down her face.
" Never ever…..do that to me again…" It was a miracle. Was she hallucinating this? She turned around and her blue orbs met his blue emeralds.
" T-Terra?" He hugged her tightly, never wanting to let go. " Terra…..Terra….." she continued to cry as Terra's chest got even more soaked.
" I promised I'd never leave you…and now I have one more promise to keep….." He removed Aqua from his chest and lifted her chin so they could see eye to eye.
" T-Terra…..T-Terra…." she tried to wipe away her tears but they would not stop. Aqua buried her face in her hands but Terra brought her closer and fulfilled his promise. Aqua's eyes widened as she was finally aware of the sensation on her lips….Terra was kissing her….a real kiss. Immediately, her eyes shut as she took in the feeling. Tears continued to fall but that didn't stop them from sharing the kiss. After all this time, the lips that were reserved for each other found their way to the ones they were destined for. In that one kiss, a flux of emotions took over both as it just spelled true love. Softly, lovingly, they breathed their souls and love into that one kiss. The kiss was hard but soft…..fiery but cool….a few mere seconds but also what seemed like forever. Their lips parted for breathing. Aqua tried to regain her normal heartbeat but soon found herself wrapped up in him….body, heart and soul.
" I love you Aqua…always have and always will."
" I love you too Terra…..but now it's my turn to keep our promise." Once again their eyes shut as Aqua seized Terra's lips. The rain had stopped as the sky revealed the rising of the Sun, giving everything a mystic glow. Terra pressed his lips as sweet true love is born. His lips spoke love and her lips spoke forever.
A few months later…
Needless to say, Terra and Aqua got married and spent their lives in the house Terra had reserved for them on Destiny Islands. Terra got a job as a doctor; apparently when Xehanort possessed Terra, some of his knowledge flowed into Terra but unlike Xehanort, Terra used the knowledge for good and experimented to cure several diseases while Aqua expressed her desire for writing and soon her books became popular among the people; and why wouldn't they considering how the genre of her novels was always romance.
A year later….
" Happy anniversary my Aqua!" Terra rushed and picked up his wife bridal style as he kissed her making Aqua giggle.
" Good grief Terra! Just because you're strong doesn't mean you can pick me up and kiss me!" Terra smirked.
" But you like it." Aqua rolled her eyes.
" I don't know why?" Terra grinned.
" Because I love you." Aqua smiled, that sweet radiant smile reserved only for him. She wrapped her arms around his neck as they shared a sweet kiss.
" I love you too." Terra placed Aqua on the couch.
" I got you a gift."
" What else is new?" Aqua giggled.
" This one is special…..I made Master Yen Sid teach me this." Aqua got curious as she waited for what Terra was going to do. He raised his palm and energy surged through it and Terra used his hands to roll the energy into an orb and expanded it so that they could see a memory. " Aqua….this is when I first proposed to you." Aqua watched the whole scene and recalled that she was unconscious in Yen Sid's tower that time. When the memory orb vanished, Terra looked at Aqua to guess what she was feeling but she began to cry. " Aqua! What's wrong! Are you…." Terra was interrupted as Aqua tackled him to the floor as she hugged him tightly while tears soaked his shirt.
" I can't believe how much you love me…..it's unreal….makes me wonder why you love me so much." Terra wrapped his arms around her.
" Because you're my Aqua…."
" And you're my Terra….." they shared another sweet passionate kiss. " So that's why my face was full of dry tears when I woke up….I guess my mind couldn't listen to your words but my heart could." Terra kissed her forehead. " I have a present for you too." Her cheeks went all rosy.
" You didn't need to…your love….our love is everything for me." Aqua got up and turned her back to him. Terra was dumbfounded.
" T-Terra….I'm…I'm pregnant…" Aqua turned around to see the expression on his face but she was shocked to see him crying. " Terra! What's wrong?" Terra wiped away his tears as he hugged Aqua.
" I'm….I'm just so happy."
5 years later….
Terra was gazing at the ocean from the shoreline as he heard footsteps. He felt a presence that was all too familiar and smiled.
" Hey Terra." It was Aqua. " What are you thinking about?" Terra wrapped his arms around his wife.
" About our parents…." Aqua felt uneasy. It was a very emotional topic for the both of them. " Aqua…" He placed his hand over her cheek. " We never knew them but I know they're watching down on us and that they loved each other and I can feel that they are proud to have us as their children…..your parents…..as well as mine." Aqua gazed into his eyes and she knew his words spoke the truth.
" Since when did you get so sentimental?" Terra blushed and Aqua giggled. " Old habits die hard I guess." Terra sighed and looked up at the sky.
" Thanks Dad!" Aqua giggled more as they were about to share a kiss until two boys arrived.
" Mom! Dad!" called out a boy with light brown hair wearing a white polo shirt with red shorts.
" Sora!" Aqua embraced Terra and her child by picking him up and kissing him on the cheek. The boy with silver hair who wore a high-collared, sleeveless yellow shirt with a zipper gave an evil grin. He wore black shorts and white shoes with grey soles and blue stripes on either side.
"Mom!" Sora shouted.
" You should excuse your mother Sora….you just don't realize how much me and your mother love you." Terra stated.
" I know! But you both do it everyday!" Both parents chuckled. " On bright side, I beat Riku in a race!" Sora cheered.
" Did not!" Riku shouted.
" Did to!" Sora let out his tongue that annoyed Riku. The whole scene made Terra and Aqua chuckle.
" Whatever…" Riku rolled his eyes. " See you tomorrow Sora."
" See ya!" As Riku left, Aqua put down Sora as Terra got close and placed his hand on Sora's head, giving his hair a makeover.
" Dad!" Terra chuckled. Suddenly, it began to rain and everyone began to leave until Sora stopped.
" What is it Sora?" Aqua and Terra asked in unison.
" Mom…..Dad….why do the heavens cry?" Those words made both Terra and Aqua feel uncomfortable but Terra knew the answer…the true answer all along and it was time to reveal it. Terra wrapped his arms around Aqua which caught her by surprise but still averted her gaze because Sora's words brought bad memories. Terra kissed her cheek which made Aqua look into his eyes. Sora was getting annoyed and impatient with his parents show of affection.
" Tears of joy son…Tears of joy…." With that Aqua and Terra closed the distance between them as their lips met in a sweet kiss. Terra knew he was blessed to have a wife like Aqua and a son like Sora. Once again, his lips spoke love and her lips spoke forever as they shared a kiss of timeless passion symbolizing perhaps the greatest gift and feeling that God has bestowed upon His creation….True Love.
