Satoru blinks and tries to rub his eyes. He huffs and walks towards the woman sitting on the bench, her white dress flows with the wind.
"Why are you here? Hmmm? You're not supposed to be down here, Pretty."
This can't be hell. No way you would wind down in hell. Then this must be the gap between death and afterlife.
Were the gods so merciful for them to give pity on him and let you meet him before he passes over?
Soft arms enveloped his tired soul. The caress he has longed for, stroked his hair followed by kisses being littered to his temples.
"Why are you here, Baby? This isn't a place for you."
Satoru opened his eyes and look at your smiling face as you brush his cheeks.
"You're supposed to be up there, Baby. Up with the living. Not here. Not with me." Satoru closed his eyes and curled towards you.
"Why not? I will accompany you even on death and the next life. I'm a clingy person Satoru." You pouted making his heart melt and rub the back of his head.
And after all of this and after all of that happened you're here with him.
"Let's go home Satoru? I can finally take you back home with me. We don't have to rush anymore, Love. We don't have to be constantly chasing life and death." You kissed his closed eyes. "You've worked so hard already, you've done your best and I'm so proud of you, but let's rest Satoru. Can we rest now?"
Satoru looked up to you and rubbed his face into your stomach. You shouldn't be here. He shouldn't be selfish but a part of him is really happy.
He is not alone. Against what he told his students that a sorcerer dies alone. But here you are. With him. It's a bittersweet pill he has to swallow but deep down he feels peace inside him as he stares at you.
A long smooch pressed to his forehead.
You chuckled and hugged him.
"Then we'll go home together. You and me, Satoru. We'll rest for as long as we both need." You kissed his forehead one last time for now and stroked his hair, lulling him to sleep. When he wakes up you know you can do so many things together... limitless.
In this life and the next.
