There was a question from long ago that Tendou Yagami had always wondered about. What does it mean to love till even time ends? From all the stories he had read and all the movies he had watched, the main couple would always say such words as their vows to never part. He had never really understood what it could mean, at least not until he met Narisa Zeno, the love of his life.

After awakening from his coma, Tendou Yagami had to slowly get his body use to moving once more. Although Narisa Zeno had always massaged him while in the hospital without fail, his body had grown use to not moving. The only he could say was that he was grateful to have met Narisa Zeno. He was also grateful for the chance to fix his mistakes from the past lifetime they had experienced.

Tendou Yagami didn't know if Narisa Zeno knew, but he didn't speak of it either. He didn't want Narisa Zeno to know how cruel he had treated him before, even if that was already in a different lifetime.

Two years had passed just like that...

"Yagami?" Narisa Zeno asked, waving his hand in front of Tendou Yagami's eyes as he stared at him.

"Yes?" Tendou Yagami looked at Narisa Zeno with a smile, his hand reaching to grasp Narisa Zeno's hand and held it.

Though the two were out in daylight, they were not afraid to expose their relationship nor did they care about the stares and comments they got. Japan was still a conservative country and while the younger people were more openminded, the elders were still a bit more bias against homosexuals. No, it was also for many other things. Japan wasn't the only country, there were many others too.

Narisa Zeno lifted a brow as he walked next to Tendou Yagami, "Your brother told you that you had to patrol the company today." He couldn't help the light in his eyes as he looked at Tendou Yagami, his heart feeling ticklish.

Tendou Yagami grimaced at that but didn't try to get out of it, although he did complain a bit. "I still don't understand why I have to take over his company. I rather become the head than deal with all those backstabbing people within the industry. It's a good thing my brother didn't try to become a celebrity else things would've gotten crazy." He rolled his eyes as he said this before flashing a wink at Narisa Zeno.

"You know that you weren't able to deal with the matters then. I'm sure that your brother would become the head no matter what, you wouldn't be bothered to deal with anything else." Narisa Zeno added as he chuckled, his eyes twinkling under the sunlight. There was a look of pure love on his face even as he said these things.

Tendou Yagami couldn't help but smile as he saw his boyfriend's reaction. Lately, Narisa Zeno was even more outgoing than usual and what else could Tendou Yagami be other than happy. Somehow, it felt like he was falling more in love with this man now.

"Where are you taking me?" Narisa Zeno asked as the streets that walked past became more and more empty. He curiously looked at Tendou Yagami, wondering just what this man was up to.

"Shhh, you have to be patient else we'll miss the timing." Tendou Yagami jokingly said as he cocked his brows at Narisa Zeno. His hold on Narisa Zeno got harder as his footsteps also began to speed.

Narisa Zeno looked closely as Tendou Yagami showed a wide grin on his face and dragged him to wherever.

The streets had finally cleared to the point where no one was walking now. Narisa Zeno followed as Tendou Yagami led him to a secret path near a store and they went into it. Just as Narisa Zeno saw a bright light, Tendou Yagami covered his eyes from behind with his big hands.

"Don't look just yet, I need to wait for the perfect moment." Tendou Yagami whispered as he leaned down to Narisa Zeno's ear.

Narisa Zeno smiled even with his eyes covered as he agreed, "Alright, I won't look."

Tendou Yagami smiled from behind as he continued to carefully lead him along. After thirty seconds or so, Narisa Zeno felt a light breeze and a familiar scent in the air. Something brushed past his cheeks but he didn't know what it was.

Tendou Yagami stopped and Narisa Zeno also stopped with him.

"I'm going to remove my hands, your eyes will need a minute to adjust to the light." Tendou Yagami said as he nervously bit his lips and then slowly removed his hands.

Narisa Zeno's eyes were opened to a bright light. It took a bit before his eyes could finally focus on what was surrounding him. Once he saw where he was, there was a lump in his throat.

Cherry blossoms trees, or peach blossoms trees surrounded them from every angle. The petals had fallen to the ground mixing in with the green grass. Narisa Zeno looked around, his eyes growing a bit misty. Like the third world, Tendou Yagami had remembered the peach blossoms trees. The peach blossoms held a powerful meaning in his heart as it first became significant in his first world where he had encounter the man who would later become the person he loved most. It was also how he later grew to find out more about his past life.

So seeing this sight, it made him think about Xiao Lan, about his son, Xu Wuhui, his husband, Xu Yongheng, the Empress Dowager who treated him like her son, and Mei Lin, the woman who had tried to help him out as best as she could.

Narisa Zeno choked back a cry as his eyes turned red.

"You," Saying this, Narisa Zeno turned back towards Tendou Yagami, only to widen his eyes once he saw the sight.

Tendou Yagami kneeled onto the ground holding a velvet box with a beautiful ring the luster of the peach blossoms petals. He smiled towards Narisa Zeno, eyes shining bright as he asked, "Narisa Zeno, the love of my life. All in total, we've spent roughly five years together. Although the first three years weren't as wonderful as I would've thought it'd be, you still stayed by my side from the beginning until the end. You stayed by my side as I awakened, your heart still loving only me. I don't know why you chose me, but I consider it my life's greatest honor to be the one you love."

"While we both have grown and we have gone through such rough times, you stayed with me without complaining. I don't how you could love someone like me and why you would, but my greatest fear is that I will be foolish and cause you to leave me. So, while I am still afraid that I may mess up, I will only regret it more if I can never be a wedded couple with you."

Tendou Yagami paused for a moment to assess Narisa Zeno's red eyes and his smiled as he then continued, "Narisa Zeno, love of my life till the end of time, will you bestow upon me the greatest honor by letting me become your husband for as long as we shall live? Will you marry me?"

Narisa Zeno watched as Tendou Yagami awaited his answer. His own heart couldn't help but speed even as tears slowly ran down his face. Wiping away his tears, he fixed his smile as he finally replied, "Yes, yes in a thousand lifetimes, yes, I will marry you."

As soon as he said this, Tendou Yagami rushed towards him, embracing him tightly within his arms. Without wasting any time, Tendou Yagami grasped Narisa Zeno's left hand and slipped the ring onto it.

Suddenly, Narisa Zeno began to laugh as he looked at the ring. Tendou Yagami looked at him with confusion as Narisa Zeno reached into his jacket and pulled out a small box.

Narisa Zeno had also gotten a ring for Tendou Yagami although he wasn't sure when to propose but Tendou Yagami had already took his role. "Actually, I was going to propose soon so I've been carrying this ring with me for a while now. I didn't think you were going to propose so soon. Tendou Yagami, the only one I will love, will you walk a road with me hand in hand until the day our hair whitens and we grow old? Will you marry me?"

Tendou Yagami watched, a bit dazed as he laughed while answering, "Yes, definitely." He watched as Narisa Zeno also slipped the ring onto his left ring finger. "If I had gotten too scared with this, you've could've proposed to me instead."

Narisa Zeno also laughed, wiping away his tears as he replied, "If you hadn't proposed, I would've seized this moment to propose to you."

The two looked into one another's eyes with a smile before Tendou Yagami leaned towards Narisa Zeno and gently kissed his lips, a light touch full of love.

Narisa Zeno couldn't help the soaring in his heart. In the past four worlds, only in the third world was he able to have a happy ending. Now, this would make it the second.

"I love you more than anything in this world, Yagami. I will always love you no matter how you change."

"Hurry up! I told you that we should've took the earliest flight but you insisted on finishing your meeting." Noru Kaneki scolded as he hurriedly fixed his suit and checked his hair while sitting inside a car.

"I didn't know it was going to take this long. You also had your fashion modeling that you needed to finish!" Suon Karma rebuked as he slipped on a watch and quickly put on his suit.

The two had been together for a while now, five years to be exact. Even though the two liked to argue with each other, it was never anything serious. Suon Karma had skipped college and gone straight to taking over his father's company while Noru Kaneki had become a model, climbing straight to stardom.

The two quickly got out of the car, looking at the venue designed elegantly from the outside. They had arrived at a small island this morning, Santa Rosa Island located off the coast of California. The good thing was Suon Karma was fluent in English as he dealt with his family's company else they would've been even later.

As they walked into the building, they spotted Seru Akita walking towards them. His long, glorious red hair was let down, falling down to his waist. He was dressed in a gray suit and held a glove in his hand. "Yo, took you two long enough! Yagami was wondering if you had gotten lost after you missed your flight." In these five years, Seru Akita had been busy helping Narisa Daichii take care of the Yakuza Gang.

"This guy over here had to finish his meeting. We missed our flight so we had to take his private jet instead." Noru Kaneki said as he glared at Suon Karma.

Suon Karma rolled his eyes, "We weren't that late, still made it on time." While saying this, he pointed at his watch that displayed the time.

"So this is suppose to be a fusion of American and Japanese wedding, right? Zeno told me that we had to wear suits while his family members were wearing Kimonos (more formal Japanese clothing). And Yagami and Zeno were going to wear Kimonos too as far as I knew." Noru Kaneki brought up as he sat down on a chair and Suon Karma sat down next to him.

"Yeah, they already held a small Japanese wedding with their family members before they flew here. You know how Japanese Weddings are small just for close family members." Seru Akita said while he stared at them. "Ah, shoot, I have to go. Stay here and don't make a mess, there isn't a lot of people here so if you mess something up, Yagami will come for you."

Suon Karma watched Seru Akita run away and couldn't help but bring up, "I can't believe he actually is becoming a doctor. I mean, he was always able to handle wounds well but still, he's pretty clumsy."

"Shh, it's beginning." Noru Kaneki shushed the man next to him, pinching his leg gently so that he would be quiet.

"Welcome everyone. Today, we gather to witness the marriage of a couple, Tendou Yagami and Narisa Zeno. The grooms have specially asked for me not to add in any unnecessary comments and to hurry with the process so that they could spend their honeymoon thus I will make this as short as I can." Ito Reo stood at the podium, speaking into the mic. Just for this, he had to get a license to officiate their marriage. He looked up as he announced to the guests, "Let us welcome the two grooms!"

A round of applause rung out as everyone turned towards the entrance.

Since Tendou Yagami and Narisa Zeno weren't really intending to do everything the American way, they made a few changes to it. They wanted to walk together, side by side instead of separated, and they also didn't want to abide to having so many speeches and such, wanting to keep everything simple and easy. That meant that they had cut out many things away to make the process shorter and less tiring.

The two walked in, not holding hands, merely walking side by side. On their faces, a smile lingered on their lips as they looked into one another's eyes before turning away.

Once arriving, they stepped up the stairs as they stood across from each other. Tendou Yagami took a deep breath as he looked into Narisa Zeno's glistening eyes. He smiled, unable to help his heart pounding with every breath.

Narisa Zeno was really nervous right now, but he tried to to display it one his face as he stared at Tendou Yagami.

"Before I start, I want to ask for everyone to silence their phones." Ito Reo sent a stern stare into the crowd. After a few seconds went by, he then said, "Tendou Yagami, before you stands the man who you will be wedded with. Do you swear to love him until the end of time as you have promised?"

Tendou Yagami cleared his throat before he replied, "Yes, I do."

"Narisa Zeno, do you swear to never part with Tendou Yagami, to live through the wonders of life together as one?" Ito Reo asked once more as he turned to Narisa Zeno.

Narisa Zeno smiled brightly, his lips curving up into a beautiful appearance as he replied, "Yes, I do."

"If you have any other words you want to add, you may say them." Ito Reo had done research on this and knew that he was definitely missing a lot of stuff he was suppose to say, but Tendou Yagami and Narisa Zeno had told him to keep it as short as possible.

Tendou Yagami showed a cheeky smile as he looked into Narisa Zeno's eyes. "I will keep it very simple. Narisa Zeno, before meeting you, I had never thought that I would one day be marrying someone. But when you appeared before my very eyes, you changed me as a whole, you turned me into someone better. I don't know what to say, but I want you to know this. Throughout the story of my life, you will forever be the greatest gift I've received upon this road."

Narisa Zeno smiled, his teeth showing as he watched Tendou Yagami's eyes turn a bit red. And then, he also said, "Actually, I can say the same. I didn't know that I would one day be able to love someone to this point, nor did I think that I would be able to be by your side. But I have a wish, a rather selfish one. I wish to forever be the reason why you continue to flip through every chapter of your life with joy."

Tendou Yagami calmed his beating heart as he looked into Narisa Zeno's eyes. Narisa Zeno looked at him with a tender look, so much that he almost felt like he was dreaming.

"Please exchange the rings." Ito Reo said as soon as he noticed that the two had finished their vows.

Tendou Yagami grabbed the ring that he had placed into a small glass case as Seru Akita walked towards them. He took out the same ring from before as he slipped it onto Narisa Zeno's finger.

Once the ring was on his finger, Narisa Zeno also grabbed the ring from the glass case that was situated on a small velvet pillow that Seru Akita held. He grabbed Tendou Yagami's long fingers and slipped the ring onto his ring finger and looked at him with happiness.

Tendou Yagami continued to grasp onto Narisa Zeno's fingers as Ito Reo announced. "I pronounce you a lawfully wedded couple, you may now kiss."

Narisa Zeno smiled as he tilted his face and pulled Tendou Yagami, his lips touching him very gently. It was an innocent kiss at heart, a very light yet thrilling kiss as Tendou Yagami smiled against his lips before the two separated.

There was a loud round of applause as the two stared deeply into one another's eyes. There was a string of different thoughts running through their head, but the one word that both thought were, finally.

Sixty years later, Narisa Zeno was the first to leave the world. Their parting was not sad, both had a sense of fulfillment in their heart, a peace that lingered within.

Tendou Yagami was elderly indeed, they both were. He looked at Narisa Zeno with a smile as he said, "Go, I will be there soon. You will not have to wait long."

Narisa Zeno didn't say anything he merely smiled as his eyes closed, a teardrop sliding down the corners of his wrinkly eyes as his breath began slowing.

Thank you...

Not long after Narisa Zeno had closed his eyes, Tendou Yagami leaned against Narisa Zeno and his eyes also closed, a content smile on his lips as his heart grew cold.

Thank you...

The two lived a fulfilling life, a rather happy one compared to the worlds before. In this world, Tendou Yagami was revealed to an important piece of memory from before, something that had changed his interactions with Narisa Zeno.

Their feelings weren't false, but there was also a deeper meaning behind it.

There were many things that the two never were able to reveal to one another, but that didn't disturb the way they showed their love to one another.

They loved and loved, and until the end, they were barely separated.

Time passed by so fast, they even wished it would slow down. Is that how one would feel when they knew the end was coming?

When the ending to a story comes, who still continues to flip the chapters in hopes of discovering another page still left?

And when you know that everything will be ending, will you slow down your pace so that you could enjoy everything as you take it in?

The beginning, the middle, and even the ending, who will pick up the pen and continue to write it when they knew the end will come?

But, they merely left with a simple thank you, for they were grateful for everything even though it couldn't be prolonged.

This is the end, not the last one, but for now, this is the end. The story has not been finalized just yet, for much has still been left unsaid. But in this world, their story has been completed.

One man had his life changed as a man appeared and stole along his heart.

Another was able to meet the love of his life once more, and along with that, he wishes once more for a wish that will stay the same forever.

"Throughout the story of my life, you will forever be the greatest gift I've received upon this road."

"I wish to forever be the reason why you continue to flip through every chapter of your life with joy."
