Happiness
I get off work and go ho on ti today.
When I reach ho, I call Rick.
"Hey, Marc. How's it going?"
Yeah, we got the werewolf thing sorted out. It was a dispute over the leadership of a Japanese pack, but it's settled now.
Well, that's good to hear. It looked like Jack's place was contacted as well. I wasn't worried. Jack said he took care of it. It seems you've got a hold on the rest of the pack over there, too. It's hard to find a country that is totally untouched by you."
I lean back on the couch and talk. Rick chuckles and clears his throat.
"What's so funny?"
Nothing," he says. No, I'm just thinking that from the sounds of it, it went well. I'm happy for you. Isnt it nice?
Hah. I can't hide it from you. Yeah, I told them I was a vampire and they accepted it. Rick. Now I understand your love for humanity.
It's good, right? Now, all you have to do is be prepared, so you can see them off, but you can take your ti with that. If you make lots of good mories, you'll both be able to smile at each other in the end."
Yes, we will. Well make lots of mories together. By the way, I t a family mber of mine here in Japan. Hes Japanese.
"Ho! That's a great coincidence. Your place, unlike ours, doesn't take the initiative to increase our number of dependents."
Even dependents arent immortal, they just have long life spans. Eventually, goodbyes will co. And I'm sure my place felt sad about that."
I talk with Rick for a long ti. We also talked about Yuki. Then, as night fell, the intercom rings.
She's here. See you later, Rick.
Have a good ti. Love is immortal.
Yeah, it is."
I hang up the phone and answer the intercom. She waves to the cara. Yuki cos in through the front door. I hug then kiss her. Yuki says,
I'm so glad I got ho early today. My nurses are very sharp, and they were all over , saying that I must have gotten a man."
"It's the sa for . The outpatient nurses said, Congratulations! I guess nurses are good everywhere.
"Marc," she says, "won have good instincts. Don't underestimate them.
She looks at with that smile as always. I want to protect this smile from now on, and I want to be by her side. I love the sight of her back, standing in the kitchen preparing als. I thought it was impossible to feel this way about a human being, but what a feeling I have now. A warmth fills my heart. I wonder what this feeling is called.
After eating and bathing, we sit down on the sofa and relax, watching TV.
"Yuki...
What?
I've never had feelings for a human before.
Have you ever had any feelings for another vampire?
Well, I guess. But I want to be with you all the ti like this, I've never wanted them to stay. I dont know what to tell you. I feel calm. I've never had this strange feeling of being wrapped up in sothing warm. Tell , what is the word for this feeling?"
"Marc... well, that's... It's called happiness. It's happiness."
"... happiness..."
Yes. It's the sa for , just being around you like this warms my heart. This is happiness.
I see, Is this what happiness is? Yup. Not bad, this is good stuff. Rick's to thank for this. He's the one who encouraged to co to Japan, and he'll continue to guide . I will stay in Japan... and... and... I'll do whatever it takes to protect this smile on your face.
