“Fuuun!!” The Girl screams, and sometimes Ghoul is not sure if she’s calling for him or if it is just a statement, but he still pays attention. She’s running towards him, even though they were both already inside a small makeshift garage, just a few feet apart.

“What’s up, little one?” he asks setting aside the wrench and crouching down to her level.

Without missing a beat she grabs his face with both hands and looks at him intently, their noses almost touching.

“I love you, and I will always remember you, and I will always remember that I love you.”

Fun Ghoul looks stunned for a second but his confusion is interrupted by Party’s amused, tender voiced.

“Sorry, our leading lady of the week just got separated from her friend and we’re learning that we have to let the ones we care about know how we feel while we can” Fun chuckles, his surprise long gone, truly this happens more often than not.

“I will always love you and remember you too, kiddo”

The Girl squeezes his cheeks with her little hands while her smile grows bigger

“Good.” She replies, a final statement of approval sealed with a kiss on his forehead

Then she lets go of him, looking up directly at the other man standing tall next to her.

“Party.” She’s serious once more

The red hair man mirrors her expression, puts his right hand over his chest and bows theatrically

“If we ever get separated by any reason, I will think of our favourite memory together and cherish it until we meet again.”

“Good.” She nods firmly and then smiles “I have to go find Jet and Kobra to tell them we’ll be together forever!” she runs outside screaming Star’s name.

Outdoors they hear the soft ‘oof’ that usually means she’s jumped into Jet’s arms almost by surprise. Fun gets back up and smiles amused.

“I see today’s adventure is leaving its mark”

“I was gonna go on but you know her, she thought this was way more important, so we stopped for the day…” Party shrugs with a pleased smile, still looking through the door where she went away “At least until she remembers she wants to know what happens next…”

Fun can’t help but be infected by the other’s grin. He looks at him, resting against the car Ghoul was fixing moments ago, shoulders down and relaxed, hands hanging from the front pockets of his jeans, so at ease, so peaceful. Somewhere at close distance, they can hear Jet mumbling something, although they can’t understand him they both know what is going on.

“And now we’re all pledging alliance to her, and promising never to forget it.” Fun jokes leaning on the car next to the redhead. Poison laughs so loud it feels as if happiness could break any silence, even those that are not there.

“To be fair, I think it was already too late for us to escape that one” he answers looking at him amused, a beam so cheerful  Fun can’t help but feel he needs to seal this moment with a kiss.

Poison’s lips are welcoming and the peck is soft and warm, like the cotton of the other’s shirt when Ghoul’s hand lies comfortably on the man’s hips, one or Party’s hand rests in that same forearm like it was always meant to be there and the other goes take its place on his lower back. The kiss is short, but creates enough momentum to remember what joy feels like; he can see it in the other’s eyes too, those blissful seconds where life is truly made of the moments that keep them breathing, where is more than just surviving, is rejoicing, relishing on the mere act of being alive.

“And what does happen if she asks?” Fun continues the conversation where it was left, his head resting on the other’s shoulder, his body moving just enough to get comfortable against his companion.

“They meet again” Party says absent-mindedly, his thumb moving unconsciously against the shorter man’s forearm “we all do in the in the end, don’t we?”

Fun laughs against his chest

“That’s some ominous shit for a five years old don’t you think?”

Party smiles and Fun notices his shrug is a small one this time, so it won’t bother his resting cheek “She already learned the lesson, let them have the happy ending”

Kobra’s laugh booms in the distance followed by a loud and clear “we shall never be apart and we will never be forgotten!”

The statement is closed by both Jet Star and The Girl cheering.

Ghoul can feel Party’s chuckle rumbling in his chest while he smiles amused against his neck.
