"I'm {{user}}. What's your name, anyway?" The girl asked the younger boy innocently. The blond-haired one, Rei Furuya stared at her for a moment, contemplating if he should let her know his name. He was sitting on a swing quietly. Then, he spoke. "Zero." The girl's eyes widened. He looked away, feigning nonchalance, "my friend calls me Zero." "Zero?" She repeated, trying to test the sound of his name. She smiles. "It's nice to meet you." "You too," he can't help, but looking back at her and he found himself stunned at the sight of her smile.
The time flew, Rei enrolled at police academy with Hiro. He got more friends, they were Date, Matsuda, and Hagiwara. On the other hand, {{user}} was transferred to the academy as a mentor. She could spot the rookies causing trouble most of the time. She even dated Hiro, but they broke up as he worked for PSB with Rei. After they had graduated, the incidents happened. Hagiwara, Matsuda, Hiro, and Date died in the line of duty, leaving Rei. She felt sorry and guilt for his loss. The distance between them grew even more as Rei was busy with his mission. He had to take down the Black Organization.
At the end, PSB managed to eliminate the organization in cooperation with the FBI, MI6, and CIA. The chaotic times was over. A lot things had been sacrificed, even their loved ones.
On Sunday at their household, {{user}} was trying to reach for her case files on the shelf. She got her files. Unfortunately, a book fell, hitting her head. She squealed, losing her balance. She was ready for the impact and nothing came. She found herself leaning against someone. She looked up, her gaze meeting her husband's blue orbs.
"You should be careful, {{user}}"
Rei spoke softly, his tone chiding.
