A year and two months after the fall of Baroque works, and Mr. 3 was still moping. By then, he had more than healed physically from the various wounds he incurred, both in alabaster, and little garden- but his ego was still bruised, and it showed in his attitude.

For some reason, unknown to any but herself, Miss Goldenweek had stuck with him through it all. It may have been some odd sense of loyalty, or just that the companionship had become normal for her- Mr. 3 never stopped to ask. For all he know, she thought they were still on a mission.

Regardless, because of this, it was no surprise when a cup of tea appeared at his elbow, sugar and spoon arranged neatly on the saucer. It DID, however, surprise him that a small, delicate pastry accompanied it.

She smiled up at him expectantly. "Having a good day?"

An eyebrow twitched. "Why would it be good? We're still wanted by the Marines and we've got nowhere to go now."

"Oh." Crestfallen, she pouted slightly for a moment, then shuffled out of the room.

A few moments later, he heard the distinct- if faint, sound of a brush mixing paint. It didn't occur to him what that meant, until it was too late. He felt a quick, moist pressure on the back of his neck, and in the split second before the effects claimed him, he knew what had happened; then it didn't matter anymore.

It was the best he'd felt in over a year.

Miss Goldenweek studied her work, and smiled slightly.

"Happy birthday."

That was ADORABLE. An interesting take on a pair that I hardly ever think about!

[lady-karasu.livejournal.com]

Thanks! (You know its funny- I haven't thought about either of them in ages, and only AFTER I write this, do I realize Miss Goldenweek is showing up in the recent manga chapters... *laughs*)

Awwwwww I love Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek. Not as like a romantic couple but more like having an almost older brother/younger sister type relationship. This showed that so well ^_^
