~Finnigan~
Almost immediately after I opened the door, a small body crashed into me and was currently attempting to climb up me. I looked down to see a curled mop of blue hair and I immediately knew who it was. "Todd! Why look at you, all grown up!"
The small boy smiled. "Uncle Finn!" He looked curiously at Dante.
I lifted him up in my arms and gestured towards Dante, who's eyes were sparkling. "This is your cousin Dante. Dante, this is Todd."
Todd wriggled free from my arms and toddled over to Dante. "Hallo! 'm Todd!" The young boy tried to sound very grown up.
I looked up to see Marvyn smiling at Todd. "Quite th' lil one, ain't 'e? He spoke with his thick Scottish accent. "'ve been stayin' wit' yer husb'nd. He'll be happy t' see ya. Todd jus' want'd to see his grandad 'gain."
I nodded, thinking of Vlad. "Shall we all head off then?"
They all nodded and we bid our farewells to my father and we were off, with Dante still going absolutely crazy over how cute his three year old cousin is. But the feelings were the same, we were all quivering with excitement. We were going to see our friends again. Lucas was already free, and Darren was with him. Maybe we'll meet some new people as well. But... I don't think we're quite done with those people... Noctis Mortem....
"F-Finni...?"
I looked up quickly to see the man who's been waiting for me all this time, staring in shock. "Is it really you?"
Without saying anything I ran over, ignoring the coldness on my feet and I hugged him. I was starting to cry. "I missed you Vlad..."
"Finni, look above you." I looked up to see a bunch of mistletoe on the doorway we were standing in. I smiled lightly before leaning forward and pressing our lips together gently.
"PAPA! LOOKIT! SNOW!" Todd's voice pierced the silence.
Vlad and I broke apart to see the snow started to fall quietly to the ground. I was still barefoot, but I didn't care because I felt safe wrapped in Vlad's arms. I jumped slightly when I felt something cold on my finger. I saw my wedding band back on my finger. "Vlad..."
"I love you Finnigan."
"Yes.... I love you too, Vladilen."
and we kissed again.
