Day 389 - Backdated to early morning! OPEN
[Another day another dollar. Only there are no dollars in Marina, and neither does she run the flower shop because she has to. Rather, she does it because she wants to. Because she needs the distraction, and enjoys watching things grow. The day is early, much earlier than her normal hours, but she needs a little time to think and organize her thoughts. And sometimes, even compared to her shared apartment, this is the place she can do it best.

And to be honest, she doesn't expect anyone to stop by so early in the morning. Not today. But should someone, they wont find Yuuki immediately anywhere in the store. At least not to start, despite the hot chocolate still steaming upon the counter top. Or at least... what they do find isn't what they expect.

With a small leap, a brown, fluffy cat jumps up onto the counter. Padding across the desk, she peers into the steaming beverage, before her whiskers twitch and she pulls back. Apparently it's too hot...]

[OOC: Have a Yuuki cat. She's simply playing around with her ability to transmute and change her appearance. It needed to be done for butler reasons.]

	[Thinking about it- about him, she can't do that kind of thing. At least not without her emotions welling up. Feeling as though there's a hole in her heart, she's not surprised to feel warmth trickling down her cheeks. Lifting a hand up, she wipes at her eyes. Their entire situation- it's the most mixed up thing, isn't it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Nothing about them is easy. It never has been. He further wraps his arm around her as they sit. Whether or not she wants to lean more against him is up to her. There's an apology at the tip of his tongue, but he knows she's aware of it already.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Allowing the comfort she does lean against him, closing her eyes. She knows he cares, and is only saying and doing what he can to help. He's always tried to look out for her in his own way, and this moment is no different than normal.

The silence between them isn't uncomfortable. They could sit together in a room for hours without talking, and still be content. She allows herself to simply take comfort in his presence, before finally speaking again.]

I'll have to make it up to Ai-chan somehow. You'll help me, wont you, Zero?

	[Quiet moments like these are some of what Zero loves the most about spending time with each other. In a way it's been like this since they first met. Even despite how his attitude was back then.] I will. [He gives her a gentle squeeze.] Although I'm sure she'll forgive you without a second's thought. I had forgotten her as well.

[There's a small pause at that.

It's different, though, isn't it? She's her birth mother. Only... glancing at him, she studies him a moment.]

It... doesn't make you uncomfortable, does it? That is... how Ai addresses you. [ . . . It certainly feels strange to Yuuki. Not that she tells her to stop or disrespects their relationship at all. But...

How long has Ai called him 'Papa'.]

	It doesn't. Ai said that I was around with you two enough so that I became like a father to her. Biological or otherwise. [He seems quietly pleased by all of this. It's proof that he continues to be besides her.] . . . If I'm to be honest, it feels kind of amazing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ . . . ] Why do you think that? [She's not saying it's wrong. Or that he doesn't have the right to feel that way either. It's only... he hated Kaname. She understands that he doesn't hold Ai accountable for her father's actions. It's just unusual, isn't it...? To readily accept such a thing, and without any hesitation.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why? [He can likely guess what she's thinking. It's practically a given.] I guess I never imagined myself as really having a family again. [Ah. Wait. He should probably add on something else to that.] Well, I guess aside from how it was with the Chairman. I mean of my own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Even though... [She tenses a little, uncomfortable. She doesn't want to hurt him. She's not trying to hurt him with this, either. It's not her intention.] You still feel that way, even though I'm not at a point where I can return anything? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not right now. I know that much. It's still awhile off; it may even be many years into the future. But it's a part of both or our futures all the same. I've always been patient, haven't I? [Although, from what Ai has said, the current, "Marina" her is from about twenty years into his and Yuuki's futures. Regardless, he'll wait for Yuuki.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm really happy that you're part of my future, Zero. And being with you always makes me feel better.

[It's no lie. With him, she feels as though she can be herself. She treasures him so much.]

But if you ever tire of waiting for me... I'll understand too. [Even if it would hurt] I want Zero to be happiest of all. And I don't want you to be held back by my own inabilities.

	That's all I could ask for. [Her happiness.] Ai as well. I won't. Like I've said before, I never want to be without you. [His arm around her shoulder tugs her in a little closer again.] My feelings won't ever change. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[With just a smile, she nods, before allowing herself to rest fully against him. Eyes closing, she relaxes. She doesn't know how she's been so fortunate as to have someone like him in her life. But she's grateful for him.] Thank you. For always being there, Zero. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mm. [A quiet sound. He could sit as they are like this forever.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
