Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 188 - 180: Their Past 2

ʼʼLex, Iʼm your childhood friend Lû.ʼʼ

The moment Alex heard these words, something broke within his mind, and a lot of things started to pour into his head making his head hurts. Those things were memories, missing memories of his past.

It seemed that Luna was the key to unlock his missing memories.

Alex held his head and tried to endure the overflowing amount of memories pouring into his head.

~Start of a Flashbacks

He saw the scenes of his past where he was five years old and they got a new neighbor, a family of three like his family. The first time he saw her, he mistook her for a boy because of her short golden hair. She likes to dress like a boy. Soon the black-haired boy and the golden-haired girl became friends, so was their families. They went to the same school.

It was five months after they encounter Alex learned that Luna was a girl. They gave each other nickname. For Alex it was Lex, as for Luna, it was Lû. The two became more than friends, they became childhood sweethearts.

Their parents were even happy about this, until that day Lunaʼs parents decided to move overseas because of a job. The two were had vowed to always stay together were forced to part, Luna couldnʼt stay because they wonʼt be coming soon.

It was before the day of departure that the eight years old Luna called Alex to the park, under the moonlight she was stood there basking in moonlight dressed in a white princess dress. It was her first time dressing like this outside party. The small Alex was captivated, his breath taken away.

ʼʼLû, what do you want to talk about? I thought youʼd be sleeping because tomorrow youʼre departing!” Alex said not hiding his unhappiness about Lunaʼs fatherʼs decision to bring Luna with him.

Luna was even more helpless than him. However, there was nothing they could do. It not like the two could elope. Shaking her head she decided to accomplish what she came to do tonight.

Looking at Alex affectionately she said,

ʼʼLex, letʼs get married in the future. However, tonight I will become your fiancee while youʼll become mine. Iʼm doing this for you to not forget me until I come and also to claim you before another vixen does it.ʼʼ

The last part of her words was muttered rather inaudibly thus Alex wasnʼt able to hear him.

The young Alexʼs eyes shined, ʼʼLû, are you sure?”

ʼʼIʼm sure. Letʼs do it.ʼʼ Luna declared.

And under the moonlight, the two children vowed to marry in the future. The moon was their witness. They sealed the deal with a kiss.

Another memory flashed, this time Alex was sitting in the back of a car, he was 10 years old. His parents were arguing about something when suddenly, out of nowhere a heavy truck hit their car.

Bang!

~End of the flashback.

ʼʼUgh!”

He grunted of pain startling Luna.

ʼʼLex, whatʼs happening to you? Lex??” Luna tried calling him several times until Alex stopped her with his hand to indicate it was going to be fine.

Even though she was still worried about Alexʼs state she decided to believe in his words.

After ten minutes or so, the headache he was experienced stopped, his eyes became clear. He remembered everything now.

ʼʼThank you, Lû. Now, I remember.ʼʼ Alex said looking at Lunaʼs eyes filled with affection.

With his missing memories now back he knew how important this girl was to him in the past. It was quite tragic that he had forgotten about her, it couldnʼt be helped because of the accident, even so, she mustʼve felt betrayed when they reunited and Alex forgot about her.

Luna covered her little mouth, her eyes were wide open, she started crying. It cries of happiness as she couldnʼt believe what happened. It took her few minutes to calm down.

Wiping away her tears, she smiled, ʼʼItʼs good that you remember everything. Welcome back, Lex.ʼʼ

ʼʼIʼm back Lû,ʼʼ Alex said while rubbing Lunaʼs head.

It was unconscious action because it was something he usually does in the past when they were a child.

Luna pouted, ʼʼIʼm not a child anymore.ʼʼ

ʼʼI know, my bad. And who could have to that our tomboy princess would one day turn into such fine woman?” Alex said teasing Luna.

Luna blushed. Indeed, in the past she was unruly, a tomboy, she likes to hang out with boys. Fight alongside them.

ʼʼDo not say that,ʼʼ she complained.

Alex smiled not saying anything.

ʼʼI wonder how is Aunt May doing?” He suddenly said now that he remembered his past.

By the way, May is the name of Lunaʼs mother, an extremely beautiful woman who was so compassionate that she seemed like a saint.

ʼʼWell, knowing mom, sheʼll be doing fine. I miss her. Unfortunately, itʼs impossible to go back.ʼʼ Luna muttered dejectedly.

Alex regretted having asked that question. He could only sigh.

ʼʼSorry, I shouldnʼt have asked.ʼʼ

ʼʼDonʼt worry Iʼm fine. I was just feeling a little bit nostalgic. Even if I canʼt see them anymore, I have you, Maria, Sakuya, and little Gracier with me here. Iʼm not lonely.ʼʼ She said, trying to act tough. However, Alex saw through her.

Alex caressed Lunaʼs face affectionately. Now, that his memories were back, they came back with his feelings, it may be childhood feelings but they were still his feelings, he wanted to protect this girl whose feelings did not change after years, after what she experienced.

ʼʼDonʼt worry. Iʼll protect you. We will create a big family here.ʼʼ the last part was said to tease Luna.

Luna blushed, glaring at Alex she said, ʼʼIt seems that Lex has become a pervert when I was not looking after you. Do not worry, now it will change.ʼʼ

ʼʼOh! How so?ʼʼ He asked with a smile.

Luna only smiled not saying anything.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something she asked.

ʼʼLex, do you remember that summer when we were seven years old? There was a girl dressed in a red gothic that visit us. We played with her. Do you remember?”

Alex searched in his memories until he found the scene like that. It was a beautiful little girl with black hair, blue eyes, she seemed to have a cold personality.

ʼʼYeah, I remember her now. Why do you bring that up now?” He asked.

Luna smiled while leaning against Alexʼs shoulder.

ʼʼWell, that girl it was Maria.ʼʼ

ʼʼEh??” Alex exclaimed because he had never thought he had once encountered Maria. They even played for few hours.

Luna smiled seeing Alexʼs reaction, ʼʼWell, it was my first time seeing her that day. She came with her father who is a mafia boss. I didnʼt even know that. It was a few years later that I learned what my father does for a living.ʼʼ

ʼʼI see. I want to know how you two, no three became friends. Tell me what happened after we part.ʼʼ Alex said.

Luna decided to tell Alex what happened but before that, she decided to use his lap to make herself comfortable before starting.

Minutes became an hour. Luna told Alex what happened, how she became friends with Maria and Sakuya.

ʼʼLû, how do you feel about Mariaʼs condition?” Alex suddenly asked this.

Luna smiled while locking eyes with Alex as she knew he asked this because of her. He was considering her feelings.

ʼʼDonʼt worry, Iʼm not against it. We have already discussed it. She did what she did to help us. To me as long Iʼm with you, as long I have a place in your heart itʼs already enough, I will not be greedy to want you for myself.

To me if you herd horses in the countryside, I would then shepherd goats and weave clothes for you, if you go on the battlefield, Iʼll follow you and watch your back, as long we go through ups and downs in life together, doesnʼt matter Iʼm not the only one besides you. Also, those two are my sisters, we know each other well, so I do not mind.ʼʼ

Lunaʼs words were genuine and sincere. They made Alex feel touched. He felt warmth in his heart. Memories or not, he must never leave this girl go or else he would regret it.

Lowering his head he kissed her on the forehead. It was so sudden that Lunaʼs heart almost jumped out of her heart.

ʼʼDonʼt worry, there will always be a place for you in my heart. Besides youʼre my first love, my childhood sweetheart, we vowed to stay together until death part us. I may have forgotten in the past but now that I remember, Iʼll uphold that promise. Iʼm still your fiance isnʼt it?” Alex asked with a mischievous smile on his face.

Luna pouted when she saw that Alex was teasing her. Still, she nodded her head. Her feelings for Alex had not changed, not even after she saw that he had forgotten about her. It kept growing and now that he finally remembered, she would never shy in acknowledging her feelings for him. Unlike the others, she already had a head start.

ʼʼI was your fiancee, Iʼm still your fiancee.ʼʼ she declared.

Alex smiled while stroking Luna. The two did not say anything, they stayed silent, enjoying a moment of peace where thereʼs the two of them.

After resting for a while, they decided to continue their date.

To make the best of their remaining time, Alex and Luna stood up before continuing to walk hand in hand.

They ate different things, played in different stalls, and simply enjoyed themselves the best possible.

It wasnʼt a luxurious date. But, for Luna, this was perhaps the best day for her since very long ago.

She only remembered having felt such happiness when she was a child when she was still with Alex. The date continued.
