"Akosua, your father was the true hero who helped everyone out here, and wherever he is, I believe he will be proud of you," I told her and handed her the ne. "Your father is proud of you and wants you to be fine."
"Really!" she shouted excitedly, and I nodded in response. "Thank you."
I rubbed her hair again and nodded in response. Then I heaved a deep sigh as I tried
to get up from her side, but instead, I fell to the ground, groaning in pain. "Hello, mister!" she shouted. "Please wake up!"
Her cry for help might have attracted others as Randy rushed to my side, holding me in his arms. "Are you alright? Is everything okay with you?"
"We did it," I muttered to Randy, then blinked as a lone tear escaped my eye. "I thought it would be hard, Randy, but look at us. We made it," I said and then heaved a deep sigh. "We havee far, and if anything was to..."
"Nothing is happening to you!" Randy yelled at me. "We are returning to our world, and you will be by my side."
I smiled at him, reached my hand to touch his face, and then blinked. "I love you, Randy. I..." I stuttered as my eyes started closing. "I can''t keep them open for long. I am trying to, but I just can''t, and I am sorry because you are my world, and I..." My hand suddenly dropped from his cheek as I slowly entered into the world of unconsciousness, and before I could finally ckout, he yelled out my name.
"Desmond!"
~Randy''s POV~
Three weekster...
"Are you ready?" he asked, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"I''ve been waiting for this day all my life, and I''m happy that finally, I am going to see it happen with you." I turned around to face him and kissed him on the lips. The kiss was short, and I soon turned back to face the mirror. "What do you think the world will think about us, Desmond?" I rubbed my face and adjusted my tie as I stared at myself in the mirror. This was it. I had made the decision, and there was no turning back. I made the decision myself when we arrived from the dark hole because it was my decision, and I would never regret it.
Today was the day I would reveal myself to the world, not just myself. I was also showing my boyfriend for everyone to see.
"Everyone must ept us for what we are, Randy, and if they don''t, we can always run away without caring about what anyone thinks. This is our time, and now that both our parents have agreed to it, who else can stop us from bing what we want?"
I chuckled as he nibbled on my ear. I remembered everything, and when we arrived from the dark hole, Desmond was heavily wounded and had suffered internal wounds that left him bedridden for days. I was by his side, unable to survive being without him. Then, I made the decision and went to meet my family, letting them know what I had decided.

"I love Desmond, and no matter what you say to me, it still wouldn''t change the fact that I love him more than life itself and will be with him."
My father sighed at first, and I thought he would be against me like he always was, but instead, he pulled me into his arms. "I am sorry, Randy," he had said to me, and his words brought tears to my eyes, and I let them stream down. "I should have epted you as any father would," he rubbed the tears off my side as he pulled away from the hug. "As a family, we should have supported you, but instead, we let you face it all alone, which is not what a family should do."
"Dad," I sniffled. "I thought everyone in the family hated me because of what I was, and I wanted to be truly epted by everyone, but instead, you..."
"I had thought that I was protecting you from the world that might judge you terribly because of what you are. As a father, I made itpulsory and tried to force you both apart, but fate always has something else, and I couldn''t even stop you from being together. I am sorry."
I cried loudly as I remembered everything Desmond and I had gone through. We had to pretend, and I hid him from everyone because I wanted to be the perfect son.
But Desmond taught me that I could be so much more, which made me change from what i was to someone better. He taught me how to love and the meaning of life.
Everything I had be was all thanks to him, and I couldn''t ask for something else except that I wanted to be in his heart forever.

"I also failed as your mother," my mother said as she stood up and joined the group hug. "When I knew about you and Desmond, I should have tried to ept you instead of trying to make you be somebody else and force your father''s decisions on you.
I am sorry, son, and you and Desmond had rescued us from the dark hole, even though we started the cycle of hatred created by Hecate."
I sniffled and nodded in response. "It''s okay, mother. You were only looking out for me, and I appreciate it because that is what great mothers do. I couldn''t be more grateful to you for everything."
My motherughed and tapped me on the shoulder. Next came Noah, who didn''t say anything but hugged me and whispered, "I was a jerk. I am sorry, dear brother."
"Me too," I replied to him and rubbed his back. "We will always be Randy and Noah." "Plus, Sonnia," she joined andughed. "I can''t forget that you three almost forgot that
I am your shadows, and we are supposed to do things together."
Noah and I both pulled away from the hug and exchanged looks.
When everyone was already seated, I made another announcement. "Father, I no longer want to be the crown prince.".
"Randy?" my father called out my name and then exchanged looks with my mother. "I am no longer against what you have with Desmond, and I am going to continue to protect you because you are my son, and that is what a father does. You and Desmond are free to be whatever you want, and I will speak against anyone who doesn''t want you as their King!"
Iughed and shook my head at him.
