I Could Be The One (Anna)

Remo hadn't been doing much recently. He's left Annastasia's house and went back to the Moreno's after Emery had died last games. Remo hadn't been feeling so great, the weather has given him a cold and yesterday he had been puking. Today, though was different. He felt better enough to go train a bit at the local career training place, where he would meet Annastasia at. His whole plan for going in there is to scare a bit of the kids around and prove his strength and stability. Remo always had to show how strong he was, especially in front of his girl now. The memories of his ex flashed in his mind, but Annastasia wasn't like her. She couldn't be like her. His ex was worse and caused him to go through a time he won't ever wish upon anyone, but many people still go through it.

The square was especially quiet today. Kids were scurrying off for school or training. Shops were having lunch and closed. Families were at home doing whatever they normal do during lunch. Remo's guitar was hung over his shoulder waiting to be used like always. He felt himself shiver in delight over the memories his guitar had caused. Remo pulled it out of it's case, put the guitar strap over his shoulder, closed the case and hung it over his shoulder behind him. The guitar felt like a fire in his hands. His fingers moved softly and slowly playing a tune. The one thing he hasn't done in awhile. Playing guitar was his hobby and it was his favorite thing to do. Remo never put any thought into naming an object until recently. Remo named his guitar "Dino" after his brother who he had killed.

Dino Havarti was his brother's name. Remo was Remo Havarti. He is the only Havarti left. The last Havarti that was left in his family. The only one there is. Remo had been contemplating a lot of things. One of which was his past and what he wants to do in the future. Another was the fact that he doesn't want to be the end of the line for the Havarti family. He couldn't kill the family off. He couldn't be the last one. He was a Moreno now, but in a year or so, he would change his name back to Havarti. He would have kids some day to continue on his legacy.

The training center was in sight and so was his girl. Annastasia, a gift to Remo from above. The suffering was still there. It would always be there. There were secrets Remo had never told anyone, not even Annastasia. Secrets that he would keep to himself. All alone is not a way to live a life, Remo knows that and now he wasn't alone. He had friends. He had a girlfriend. Nothing could get him off his high lately, but the thoughts are always in the back of his mind. Always eating away at him. He's been being strong for them. For the ones he loves. Remo is always being stronger for the others he loves.

Remo approached Annastasia with his guitar in hands. The boy felt his heart rate rise. He had a question he wanted to ask her badly, but was it the right time for him to ask. Remo couldn't make up his mind, so he just walked up to her and hugged her and swiftly pulled away. He spoke out sarcastically, "Don't wanna get you sick, now do we?" Remo was making up his mind at that very moment. He knew he needed to do it now or later. If not, it may not happen. He smiled and spoke calmly, "Anna, I... I just wanted to say. I.. I think you could be the one. The one that I want to be with. The one I want to live with. I know it's super early and I hope we aren't going too fast, but I just... I just wanted to ask you. Remo got down on one knee. Remo pulled the box out from his pocket and held it out. He spoke again "I'm not proposing hear me out. It's a promise. A promise that I will treat you right. A promise that I will love you. I love you a lot. I know we don't see each other often. I am probably going way too fast for you. I just... I just want you to know it." Remo smiled at her, waiting for her reply. He took a deep breath and readied himself for the big impact. Remo was in over his head sometimes and right now was one of those moments.

Oh how my life had changed, how I had changed since meeting Remo, he was someone who brought out the best in me, and created a me I didn't even think existed. Was it possible that I was actually a nice person, after all these years of living alone and bitter I had found someone who had taught me how to smile. Who would have thought that it would be a Moreno to make me happy, it wasn't like they were the most peaceful and kind family in the District, to be honest they made me look like a child's plaything when it came to how terrible they were. It was surprising not only that a Moreno could make me happy, but that I could make a Moreno happy. How was it possible to find love in one of the strangest places, in someone who seemed so simple, he was perfect in every way.

I love the way he competes for my attention when we're around people, how he tries to do everything perfectly just to show off to me. He's such a simple boy, he doesn't even stop to think that maybe I don't want anyone else, that he's the only one that I have eyes for. What a simple fool, a simple little boy, always working to impress me. I can't say that it didn't flatter me though, that's probably why I didn't tell him to stop it, that I let him keep going. I liked that he thought he didn't have a hold on me though, that he felt like he had to keep showing off to me to keep me. I think that's why I asked to meet him at the training facility today, I wanted to see if he would show off more, how many of the big boys he would try and fight in the facility just to show off to me.

Naturally I was waiting for him outside the facility today, almost desperate to see him again after a few weeks apart. I would never admit to him in person, but I missed him so much, it hurt for him not to visit my home anymore like he used to. For the longest time I thought it was my fault, that I had done something to anger him or upset him, and I even snuck to the Moreno manor in an attempt to meet up with him. Then I just gave him some space, I decided I would let him decide when we would meet again, I didn't want to appear clingy, that might give him the wrong impression. When I saw him though I couldn't help but smile and give a little squeak of happiness, it was a pitifully girly thing, something I wasn't known for, but I couldn't help it. I think that's why I was so disappointed when he only gave me a hug, and even that wasn't a very good one.

I couldn't hide my disappointment well, but that was soon replaced by confusion as he began to talk again...about moving fast, and how he thought I was the girl, the one. My head started to spin and I almost fell backwards, thank goodness there were plenty of things for me to lean against. Of course that didn't prepare me for when he got down on one knee, I almost screamed at him to get up and stop acting like such an idiot, how could I do it though, he said it was a promise that he would treat me right. That silly little smile that I loved so much lit up his face and he looked so honest and pure, how could I do anything but take the box and smile back at him. Gently I brought my other hand down and tipped his chin up, leaning down to kiss him, lingering for a few seconds before pulling away.

"I accept Remo, I guess while you're making that whole speech I should tell you that I only have eyes for you, and I only have had eyes for you. You just...you make me feel things I never felt before and I like it, I don't want it to stop, I want to be with you for as long as I can. I feel safe with you and I trust you to keep me safe, I know you'll keep your promise." I knelt down in front of him and kissed him again, ignoring the fact that he was sick, why shouldn't I kiss him, why shouldn't I be happy about this? Finally I just decided to wrap my arms around him in an embrace, one of our first REAL embraces, I wanted him to know how much this meant to me, how much he meant to me, that stupid guitar playing boy that had stolen my heart, and I didn't want it back.
