She turned to smile at him before looking back at the sky. "You know the song..." The stars twinkled brightly and she could see familiar constellations which she idly traced with her finger. Orion's Belt, Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia... "So what happened to you and Serena anyway? I'm pretty sure she wouldn't appreciate you sleeping with so many girls and then coming to me..." Aya glanced at him before turning to look back at the sky.

"Vaguely." He said, still watching her. "Serena and I didn't make it. I went to her house to apologize but the relationship never recovered after that. I haven't seen her since, but I'm guessing if she heard about my affairs, she's probably not too impressed with me. It's alright though, she was great and all, but she's not you." He turned his attention to the stars again. "Why are you so accepting of me?"

Aya paused and took a deep breath. She had known what it felt like to have a broken heart; a heart full of grief. As if her feelings would drown her. But now, lying here with Monte, she also realized what it was like to have a heart brimming with love. "You noticed me when I was invisible. You held me and cherished me like no one-- not even Dan- ever has. You made the effort to tear down my walls and get to know me and you were one of my first real friends. How could I not at least try to understand?"

Monte scratched the top of his head and turned on his side so he could look at her better. "I did all that?" He chuckled. "Damn, I've accomplished a lot more than I thought." He smiled and shook his head. "You forgot that I make you cry and do stupid reckless things that endanger not only myself but you as well. Wouldn't you be happier with someone who is a little less destructive?" What are you doing? You're trying to sabotage yourself again. He sighed heavily. "No, you're right, I'm awesome and I really do see why you love me."

She burst into peals of laughter as she playfully slapped his arm. "Humble to a fault eh Monte?" Aya shook her head, wiping the tears that leaked from the corners of her eyes. "I guess my heart's just a masochist then. No matter how much you hurt me, all it says is that it wants you. I think it's because it knows that no matter how happy I could be with other people, with Dan maybe... The moments with them would never compare... Even if you were making me cry; I'd pick you over them in a heartbeat."

"You know it." He wasn't bothered at all by her punches, after months of feeling nothing, it was nice to feel something again. "I'd have to say I like the way your heart thinks. I mean my heart is exactly the same, I could never be happy with anyone else, if anything proves that it's the last seven months. I'm meant to be with you and there is no way to get around it." He gently punched her in the arm, hardly even tapping her. "So don't ever let me go, got it." He thought about calling her a name like she'd called him 'dummy' and 'idiot' before, but he didn't have the heart to even try. "Don't let me be all sappy though, or I just know you'll get bored with me again."

Aya couldn't help but smile widely at Monte's words. She turned sideways and wrapped an arm around his chest as she snuggled further into Monte's warmth. "Hmm, me get bored of you? I'm sure it'd be the other way around." She looked at him and pouted. "Probably bored enough to sleep with other girls again." Aya closed her eyes and mumbled sleepily, "I'd never get tired of you. I'd want you everyday... And still it wouldn't be enough."

Monte hugged her closer as she snuggled further into him, of all the girls he'd been with she was the last one he could ever get bored with, he kept coming back to her, whereas the other girls he couldn't even stand to be in the same room with them after the sexual act had taken place, some of them he'd even been bored with them when they were sleeping together. "I'm faithful to you Ayame Tay, my eyes won't ever wander when I'm with you, I swear it." He watched her eyes close and though he could have fallen asleep right then and there, he remained awake, watching her, completely psyched that she was his again.

Aya smiled at his words as she felt her heart flutter at them. She opened one eye to meet his gaze, and then the other. "I know a lot of people think we're wrong for each other... They think we'll hurt each other more when we're together and that we should be apart. But I know now that I'd rather die fighting for us than try to be happy with anyone else. I always put everyone's happiness above my own and let them make the decisions for me. Not anymore. You're the only one I want to be with."

Monte furrowed his eyebrows and frowned. "Who thinks we're wrong for each other? I don't know about you, but I've done more damage to myself and I suppose to you while we were apart than I've ever done while we were together. You and I have our own moments where we're verbally abusive, but have I physically hurt you." He had a feeling he knew exactly who had a problem with them being together, but he wouldn't voice his guess.

Aya smiled softly, her thumbs going out to lightly brush against his furrowed brows. "Hey, no frowning... Today's supposed to be a happy day." She paused as she lightly touched his cheekbones, his chin and she shook her head. "Yeah, Garret's one... Kai's another. They're just worried about me, I know that... But they don't get us; they don't know you the way I do. And I know you would never do anything to hurt me. Not on purpose. If anything, you've always looked out for me when we were together."

The muscles in his face relaxed as her fingertips touched him, but were immediately tensed as Garret's name hit his ears. "Garret? Garret Walker, why the hell do we give a shit about what he thinks?" He expected members of her family to protest, but not some townie who hardly even knew either of them, and based his hatred of him off an old baseball game's score. He was up on one elbow now staring out into the darkness of the park after a second he realized he was taking this all out on the wrong person and looked down at Aya, softening. "Sorry. How much influence does Garret Walker have over your decisions regarding me?"

Aya blinked in surprise, pulling back when Monte exploded. "Hey, he helped me out when I first moved here and we... we weren't together. He listened to me... But he never gave me any pity. It's not about baseball, Monte. He just worries about me." She bit her lip, afraid Monte would do something stupid like forbid her to see Garret. "He's my friend; he helped me out when I was in a dark place. He doesn't like you a lot but he did tell me that I should have fought for you when I didn't. And he was right."

Monte sat up and searched her face carefully, she had the ability to tell when he was lying, but it wasn't true for him, he could never tell, but this time his gut told him he should believe her in regards to her and Garret not being anything more than friends. "Did you consult him before coming to see me?" He asked quietly, finding it hard to believe that Garret would advise a beautiful girl to leave a gentle caring guy like Dan to hook back up with a self abusing, sex-aholic. "You want me to go thank him?"

Aya sat up and ran a frustrated hand through her hair as she heaved a world-weary sigh. Just when things were finally looking up, shit had to happen again. She wanted to yell at Monte for ruining their 'moment' but she knew that it wasn't his fault.
"No, I didn't go talk to him before I texted you Monte. The only piece of advice he's been drilling in my head since I met him was that I should do what makes me happy. I should pick the decisions that make me and not other people happy. This is what makes me happy Monte. You and me; not now because you're just itching for a fight. But... Us. Together. That's all I need." She angrily blew at her bangs at his sarcasm. She didn't need that right now; especially when it was directed at a friend of hers.
"I looked for you because I wanted to see you. Wanted to hear your voice, wanted to be with you. I didn't do it because he said so. What? You don't believe me anymore Monte?" She sighed another world weary sigh; she couldn't meet his gaze.
