and even if it was kinda stressing and not that good of an experience, real couples have those times and it's okay. It made me feel like we're kinda developing, together. At the end everything went fine and Miranda and Terry made up. Everybody made up, so i guess that's a happy ending. I forgot to say that Cove said his favorite colors at the fireworks show. It's blue, green and yellow. Just like the colors of options, and just like the colors of the beach, and the landscape of our poppy hill! But people can't own hills. Well, maybe we could. Remember when i said that we slept together actually in one bed? In Cove's house? Man i was so happy. Actually in the morning, his dad came in. AND SAW US LIKE THIS. That was so akward but i was also kinda happy too. Next step in our relationship? His dad started talking about kids and stuff. Yeah, sadly that's not in the game, but it totally should be a 'M' dlc. I would buy it instantly. Sadly I could only imagine those things with Cove, mostly in my dreams, but i was happy nonetheless. I kinda felt bad sometimes with that, I wasn't sure if Cove was okay with it and if he was uncomfortable. He's also so pure, i don't want to hurt him in any way, and doing things that were clearly M rated with him felt bad. I wanted to do it, but his opinion was as valid. For i think the whole story, with maybe one exception, i thought of our kisses as pecks. I was happy anyway, i just wanted to kiss him, and that isn't any less of a kiss than other ones. Especially if he's comfortable with it and wants it. I don't want it any other way. I'm actually looking forward to sleeping, just to imagine him one more night, it doesn't have to be anything vulgar. I don't mind us just holding hands and maybe lying on that poppy hill of ours. That would we all i wanted. That poppy hill... I was the happiest man when we went there together. We talked about a lot of things, about our feelings, we would sit there until dawn. I had to get this out. I crouched on one knee, and grabbed one of his favorite flowers, white poppy from that hill. I wanted to marry him - the man of my dreams. Maybe at first, or to any other person, he wasn't perfect, he was flawed, and maybe a little bit weird, but not to me in that moment. In that moment, he was all i ever wanted. I felt full with him. He was perfect to me, and nothing could change it. It wasn't even a beat when he answered. Not hasitating one bit. That man... He covered his face and cried. I cried too. On our poppy hill, we just layed together, cuddled into each other. I wish i could stay there forever, with my now fiance. I'm still kind of tearing up while im typing this. I totally didn't expect that i could do it, right then, right there. I thought maybe it was too fast, since Cove needed a lot of time for those kind of things. But no. He answered instantly, like he was waiting for so long. We fell asleep on the hill, covered by rays of sunshine as sun settled into the sky. My dreams, i couldn't believe it. I waked up, sun far into the sky. Looked to my side, and there was another, even brighter and lovlier star that ever could have existed. He was beautiful, holding that one white poppy. I was mesmerised. - Are we... still engaged?- He said to me, with that dreamy gaze, i felt whole, i wanted to toss myself at him. He was perfect in every way, i loved him so much and i still do. At the time i was truly the happiest man on earth, i was so lucky to find him there, and he found me too. We started running down the hill to share the news, that Cove James Holden was now my fiance, and i was his............................................. And then the screen fade away. There was music, with actual words, and the credits rolled................................ I couldn't move, yet i was shaking. I started hyper ventilating, my heart felt like it could have stopped any time now. Tears running down my cheeks. It couldn't end just yet, right? Just like Cove always did, i wanted to stay there more, i didn't want to go home yet. I wished i could stay there forever, with my fiance, on that hill. I felt like i was going to get a heart attack truly, it was one of the worst feelings in my life. It felt like my whole world just stopped, and dissapeared before my eyes. I wonder if that's how Cove felt the first day he got onto that hill. If his world faded away, was there a new one that got built in it's place? Could i do that too? Could i go out and build a brand new world not looking anymore at the old? I didn't thought that before, those are my thoughts from now. Back then i was simply horrified. I didn't know what to do with myself. I just panicked. Little did i knew, it was actually okay, because i totally forgot about part 4. My present self totally forgot that there was also a break from 1th of march to the 2nd of march, where i would play 12 hours. Alright it was around that time of 2nd march still, because oh god i was scared. But here we are, part 4. I thought it would also be like the parts before, with episodes and stuff but apparently no, which shocked me again with sudden end but before that. Sooooo 23 year old Cove hm? Alright. As I was more confident in my true honest feelings, atlast i actually put the affection meter to direct and love. I was feeling i was ready, and that we went through a lot with Cove to be okay at this point. I could customise my character as always again, there were more options, and i chose to give myself some tattoos. Nothing big, mainly staying true to the versions before, only more matured. Of course when there were options near mirror to change my body or how it looked liked i used it for good. Making me feel better, but also not too crazy, I was sure that Cove would love me no matter what at this point. I even asked him what he thinks about my body and it all went good. He really changed everything. I remember how sad i was when it all started, with him, sad too. Now we both were happy, and we both had eachother. Back to the track, i could of course customize Cove. No. It was common to me at this point to skip that part, I want Cove to be who he wants to. I knew i would love him no matter what. And there we go. Apparently we're not driving together to our childhood town? That was sad. I didn't really catched if we lived together or not. I was really tired at that time okay. Well, anyway that was kinda weird after how i made such a big deal with how i ran away from our families diner in that chinese restaurant 5 years ago. About how i was sad that Cove was finding an apartament and that i would be alone, not seeing him. He found me in my moms car. He just sat there, i didn't even notice him. I hit him with the door. I was crying there but he sat with me and actually really comforted me. I was seriously sad about that thought. Maybe i wasn't trully crying, but there was this empty feeling inside me, and anyway, it would be hard to cry drinking so little for couple of days. He told me that he doesn't have to, that he don't want to leave me and if we want, we can live together. Even selling pretzels in the shopping district. We could just stay here and nothing would have to change. It was nice to think about, and we made jokes about those pretzels and stuff. Then we kissed, and we tried to cling to each other, but his legs were to long, and he couldn't really comfortably fit. It was fine, i was feeling a lot better thanks to him, again. Like always, he could change my mood with just appearing and i would still be happy that he's here, with me. So, in part 4, My taxi stopped by our houses, I look over, and who it is. Cove? He looked so different. I almost didn't recognize him. His hair was short, he had earrings, no glasses, and the shirt he wore covered so little. He got so tall and his abs and all. No way that's him right? Those 5 years felt like way too long, without anything in middle. I had totally no idea what to expect now, from anything to be fair. He also gained so much confidence, and i was proud of him, but it still felt kinda weird - seeing him so different, acting different. I looked into his eyes and they were the same, just without the big frames of his glasses. He climbed into my taxi through a window, like he always did with windows. I was shocked though, and kinda speechless. Maybe even a little bit scared, since i didn't really know what was gonna happen now. Well, he got in, halfway atleast and we kissed, it was still my Cove and i was very happy to see him after thinking we would never see eachother again. With the first options i choose the intimidacy scale to be at max of course, i want everything out of those last moments with him. I also chose that we would be engaged but not married yet, eyeing that little dlc on the road. Well, he wiggled out of the car and we finally met properly. I tossed myself at him, not wanting to be apart again. I kinda doze off there. We were invited to my moms anniversary, but first and formost we went to the Holdens residency (yay). I COULD CALL CLIFF MY DAD. Yes. Also at this point his relation with his son improved gradually. It was now way better then when Cove was younger. I was happy for that. Oh by the way when we were still 18 and not engaged yet, we had a picnic at the beach. We even played some beach volleyball, but sadly no medals there. There was also Baxter, which whom we invited, but then he dissapeared and we never seen him again. Just to clarify. Also, Kyra was there too, and i wanted to call her my mom too, truly. Well, we got there, and we hugged and stuff, but then they noticed what i had called them. They couldn't be happier, especially Cliff. He would give his right arm for his son, he loved him so much, and now he got a second son too, heh. Even though we always felt like family anyway, it was nice to finally showcase those feelings to them. There were some tears, and Cove's dad said jokingly that I'm now officialy their son. That was so heartwarming. Then we got to my house and it turned out that my moms were going out to brunch before that anniversary dinner, so we got to hang around with Cove in out old beloved town. It was still kinda weird seeing Cove so different. Crazy how 5 years can change a person, but then he smiled, and it was the same goofy, scary at first grin that i felt in love with. By then i knew it was my Cove, and even if i had to get used to it, it was okay. As i said, it didn't matter to me what he wanted to wear and how he would ever looked like, I was just happy i could be with him, no matter what. We of course went to the beach and all of our spots. Meeting with people and stuff. Then the dinner, it was great. I was really happy for my moms, even if my feelings werent that strong for them as for others. It was kinda dissapointing that it went by so fast, but it was nice seeing Cove in some formal wear, and my dad - Cliff too. I was so happy for them. After all those years they could finally be happy with eachother, with care and understanding. After everything, we had time for each other. We were once again on the beach. Cove took all of his clothes off, being only in his underwear, and he went to swim in that cool, swaying and glistening against the moonlight sea. I went after him, and we would go back home like that. Leaving wet steps as we went, up the street that we always would go. Later we went back to our hotel room, which had one bed, that was nice. We slept together and kissed and stuff, and i could actually wake up seeing him. We then drove together back to our neighborhood once again, and it stopped. I was way more prepared this time, knowing that i have still the wedding in my way. Bought it instantly of course. I went to sleep first, and i got some more to drink to not pass away. My dreams about Cove, as always, and a smile on my face. 3rd of march. Today. 2 am. Me, Cove, and our wedding. I was so excited i was giggling and squeeking and stuff. I was so happy i was gonna be married to this guy. Unreal, i know. But still, without even saying that it was my first wedding that i was attending, and that i knew absolutely nothing about wedding and stuff related to it. Alright, i was still kinda off, about how there weren't episodes and about Cove looking totally different, but at this point i think i was getting atleast a little used to it i think... Anyway, i got to plan my wedding, with who but my soon to be groom, sweet Cove. He was as excited as i was, maybe i was a little bit more. I think he was also nervous a lot. I hoped it would have eased, because i love my fiance so much, and i want to have fun planning with him too. And our wedding manager............. it was Baxter. No way right? I was so happy to see him again. Cove still kinda akward, but i was glad nonetheless. I would love to have my wedding be managed by someone i already know and that i knew is proffessional. There were so much talking and preparing and options. Cove was really stressed about everything so i thought that a good first option was to choose the cake. He was already quite excited about future cake, so i hoped that would ease some of his nerves. So we went there, crazy name, Xavier selling cakes at a place named Xake... Alright well. There were so much stuff that Cove eyed already while waiting for a person to assist. Alright, so later we got this huge tray of all the samplings, and we of course tried everything. I wanted the cake to be beach themed for my beautiful fiance right. Then the color, i wanted the whole wedding to be in theme of blue, so i wanted something different this time. Since it was beach themed, i imagined it would have a lot of accessories on it, and a lot of stuff, so i actually thought about white, but with pink elements. Why pink? Cove's cast was pink when we first met, and he thought that this color brings happiness. Well, i couldn't be happier to have our wedding so we have to have atleast a little bit of pink right? The taste? The flavor? I thought about it for some time to be honest. I wanted something that Cove would love. Oh and the cake will be 4-tiered one. I wanted something lemon for sure. I'm actually shocked that it wasn't told before how Cove actually smells like. It made me very happy and immersed when i got to know that. I didn't know what the buttercream could be, but i for sure knew that i wanted some mixed berries perserves inside, becouse Cove loves jams and such, and berries of course. Then there was an option to let him choose. Oh also, while tasting the samples, we got to feed eachother! Okay so i clicked that he should choose, like always. I really cared about his opinion. And what did he say????? The things i would've. At first it was honestly so weird, because, what? How did he knew what i wanted. But when I was saying about the cake being lemon, it wasn't only because of his smell. Remember when he bought me lemonade and i bought him fudge? Oh i totally forgot, i got some lemonade when we were out for a dinner with Kyra. Maybe that's why he bought me that other one later. Oh and the buttercream would be strawberry. That's what he wanted. We got also another mix, the cake would be 4-tiered anyway. So i don't really remember what i put, i went with what i wanted to eat at the time. I remember actually, lemon buttercream, the cake would be marbled chocolate and vanilla, and inside there would be peaches. And we got pretzels too. There was way too much stuff in the preparations to talk about all of them (we got pearls on the cake too with some other stuff). It was fun when we were together to pick eachothers suits, with Cove's dad as a best man of course, i was more than happy that he was there. So, Cove went with the assistant. I let him choose whatever he wanted, only taking in control where i had to make a decision. He looked. He looked like never before. Tears in my eyes as i saw my soon to be husband there, in front of me. His beauty maybe only matched to that moment when we would wake up engaged on that poppy hill. He asked for poppy flowers brouche on his suit. He was so cute, so handsome. Yeah, Cove's dad would have to hold me back if this was real. Then it was my turn. I got to choose stuff, but i was kinda dissapointed that i couldn't even see my choices come to life. I get that they wont draw every possible body, but a suit is a suit. I didn't had to be on me, i just wanted to see if everything looked as i've imagined it. Oh, i totally wore an anklet. Cove started crying, and i was so happy i will be together with him forever. We would get married on that same poppy hill we met, and the same one we got engaged on. The same one we would catch fireflies together, the same one we would roll off, the same one we would just sit and watch stars, and be there for eachother. Then the second part of the wedding. I was thinking between the beach and the aquarium, becouse Cove really loved that place. I decided upon beach. I think it meant more meaning, to us both really. His vows were the most beautiful in the world. I cried, and im not even ashamed of it. The man that i loved so dearly, telling what he truly felt, straight from his heart. Then there were my vows. I was satisfied with the options, clicking them all anyway, not leaving even one left. I love Cove and i wanted him to know it all, even more if that would be possible. He hold the bouquet made of white poppies and lilies of the valley, though i couldn't fit it in, i just used the other name. And then only those words mattered: I do. And then - you may now kiss. That was the only time i imagined us actually kissing fully, not only just a peck, it was full of passion. We held each other so none of us would actually faint. I was the happiest man back there. I could've stayed like that forever. We got to merge sand, and then there was confetti. We went to the beach, and we danced. Cove looked so beautifully. We had our first dance. Then we greeted everybody, Cove got some of those cold apetizers, almost wiped his hands on his pants, but he took a hold of himself. It was our special day. Now we were husbands, and i still couldn't believe it. We danced with eachothers parents. There were tears and stuff. Then the speeches. I loved ma's one and Cliff's too - dad's one. Of course i made all of them say a speech, no one is safe. I was happy with Liz as my best woman, she was there through it all and saw the whole journey i made with Cove. Even if she kind of teased him from time to time. It was a beautiful wedding, with my beautiful husband, and our family, and friends. I hugged them all, i told them that i love them. Oh and Derek was there too! he was in my wedding party. Even Miranda and Terry got a hug out of me. It truly was the end huh? It's okay, i can only imagine what happened next. We danced one last time, I told Cove that i had an anklet today... We were also talking about kids, and i couldn't be happier. I know if we ever get to adopt, we would be the best dads. Better than Cliff for sure, even though he's great as he is. Well, everyone was there, maybe some faces missing, but all that we really cared about showed up. By the way Cliff caught the bouquete. Then I kissed Cove one last time. I love you. And then the flowers flew once again, signaling an end to this beautiful journey. An end to Our Life. I'm honestly so glad i got to made that trip, with everyone, not only Cove, but im mostly glad for meeting him.
