We went to this restaurant called Shokumotsu. When we walked in, everybody got up and bowed. Iron golems surrounded the inside and outside of the restaurant. We were escorted to a table in the back. I'm still not comfortable around crowds. But I'm getting over it. He ordered a takoyaki platter. I ordered some tempora.

" So Y/N, we have been dating for two months now. And I've kinda been avoiding the topic." He said. " What topic?" I asked. " About your past." He said. I almost choked on my food. " Well you haven't been around that much. I only see you in the morning and at night. You've been busy working." I said. I turned my head to face the floor.

" Well I was hoping for this surprise to come later. But I'm taking six months off to be with you." He said. I went over to him and kissed him. " If you wanna know about my past, let me take you to a place that means a lot to me." I said. I extended my hand to him. He seemed skeptical.

" What? Is the mighty Admin scared of surprises?" I said. " No. I'm not." He said. He took my hand. " By the way, no guards. This place is my place. I can't have anyone intrude on it. I only want to show you because you're my boyfriend." I said. " Okay." He said. He signaled the guards to leave.

I took him into the forest. We walked until we reached a clearing. In the clearing was a meadow filled with flowers. " Where are we?" He asked. " This is my place of solitude. This is my garden." I said. I walked through the flowers. Romeo was trailing behind me. I brushed the petals with my hands, just like that time long ago.

We walked over to a tree. I climbed up. He flew up. " So why did you bring me here? It's quite beautiful." He said. " To be honest, I wasn't even sure if this place was still intact. This is the place I used to come to when I was younger. I haven't been here since. The last time I came was to put something in the time capsule that I put here." I said. 

" May I see it?" He asked. His eyes were gleaming in the moonlight. " Yeah. I didn't want to take it out until I came back here." I said. I reached into a tiny compartment in the tree and took out a box. I opened the box to examine what was inside. " I actually forgot what I put up here." I said.

The first thing I took out was a slingshot. " I put this here to remember the first time I met Cobalt. He was being chased by some bullies and came here. I was up in the tree and made sure not to be noticed. The kids started beating him, so I made this slingshot and shot apples at the kids. They ran away after that." I said.

" Even back then you were fierce." He said. The next thing I took out was a pair of white rider gloves. " This was o remember the first time I rode a horse. My dad told me that when I was four, I would learn how to ride. When it was finally my fourth birthday, my dad took me to a ranch. I picked out this pretty white horse named Destiny. I hopped on her sattle and began my lesson. I was doing good, until a dog scared the horse and she knocked me off. I ended up breaking my arm, but I was good at riding. I did it again after my injury healed." I said.

" By the way, when is your birthday?" He asked. " Oh, it's B/D." I said. " That's the day before I return to work. You'll be turning 21, right." He asked. " Yeah. When do you start your time off?" I asked. " Tomorrow is my last day. Then I take a vacation." He said. I looked at the last object in the box. I started to cry. " Y/N, what's wrong?" He asked.

" The last time I came here, was the day after my parents' murder. I added this picture of us so I would never forget them." I said. " I'm sorry I killed them. I wasn't thinking. I was scared that something would happen to me." He said. " Fear is a powerful emotion. It can cloud our judgement. So we must be sure not to be irrational when fear takes over." I said.

" You are wise beyond your age." He said. " Stella said the same thing." I said. " Y/N. Even though I killed your parents, I promise I will not hurt you. I will always protect you." He said. He hugged me. " Romeo." I managed to say. " I love you, Y/N." He said. " I love you too, Romeo." I said. We kissed. I blushed. " What?" He asked. " We never used that phrase before." I said. " Well I believe its time we start to then." He said. " So now its your turn. Tell me about your past. I only know what Jesse told me." I said. " That will have to be . story for another time." He said. I made a pouting face. " It's getting late. We should probably head back. I'll tell you another time. And I'll make it up to you somehow." He said. " I know how you could make it up to me. Take me to work with you on your first day back. I always wanted to see the famous Sunshine Institute." I said.
