Never Leave Me; A Garmau Fanfic

Chapter Thirty Seven- Forever

Aphmau's POV
"MOM! DAD! WAKE UP!!!!"

I woke up, rubbing my eyes. I sat up in bed and looked next to me. Garroth, somehow, hadn't woken up from Levin and Malachi screaming. I smiled and kissed him briefly on the lips. I pulled back and his eyes slowly opened, smiling as he saw me.

"Morning Garroth." I said as he sat up, yawning.

"Morning Aph." He said, sleepily.

"How did you not wake up when the boys yelled?" I asked him. He smiled.

"Didn't hear them. I'm a heavy sleeper." I laughed.

"I can tell. Come on, get up. I'm gonna go change. I'll meet you downstairs, ok?" I said, kissing his cheek.

"Alright, fine. I'll see you down there." He said, getting off the bed and walking out the door.

I smiled and went over to my closet. I changed into my favorite purple dress that Cadenza made for me to wear at Donna and Logan's wedding. I smiled at the memory.

I went over to my nightstand and stood in front of it. I put my hand on it and picked up my wedding ring. I was always happy whenever I saw it. It reminded me of the day Garroth proposed, almost a year ago.

*Flashback*

I was doing my usual route through the village. Everyone was out doing their own thing. I spotted Garroth, Laurance, and Dante up ahead. They seemed to be talking about something important. Usually whenever I see them, they're laughing and pushing each other around but not today. They were talking really quietly, almost whispering, and they were huddled together. I wondered if anything was wrong.

Nothing bad has happened since the whole Shadow Knight War.....thing, like 2 years ago so seeing them acting like this got me worried.

I walked over to them and stopped a little way away from them. I still couldn't hear a word they were saying.

"Hey guys. Everything okay?" I asked them. All three of them jumped when I said that and turned to face me. Their faces were bright red.

"O-Oh. H-Hey Aphmau. H-How ya d-doing?" Laurance asked, a nervous laugh at the end. That wasn't normal for him.

"Um, fiiiine. Are you three okay? You're acting really weird." I said.

"W-Weird? W-Why would we be acting weird? There's n-nothing weird going on here. We'reactingcompletelynormal." Garroth said really fast. I narrowed my eyes, making them fidget nervously.

"Is everything okay, guys? I understand if you don't want to tell me but if it's something concerning the village then-" Dante cut me off.

"No!" Dante took a deep breath. "Nothing's wrong in the village. We were just discussing something and you just surprised us, that's all. The village is perfectly fine......for now."

"Whew, good. I was getting worried for a second there. Well, I'll leave you boys alone to talk. I'll see you three later, okay?" I said and they smiled.

I went over and kissed Garroth on the cheek and continued on through the village. I took a quick glance back and saw the guys talking again, but Garroth was looking at me and smiling. They were so weird.

It was starting to get late. The sun was setting and red and orange colors lit up the sky. I've always liked the sunset. It was so pretty.

I started walking back home when all of a sudden, I feel someone place their hand on my shoulder. I jump and turn around. Garroth was there, smiling at me.
