Balloons, confetti, dirty paper plates and crushed soda cans littered the tree-house floor. On the wall there was a giant sheet with sloppily painted on text that read 'WE'LL MISS U NUMBUN 4!'. These were the remains of a great party.

Kuki let out an unsteady breath, the party was great. Amazing even. Everyone that came were friends on some level and the night was spent having fun, as of request. However, there was always that lingering feeling with the four operatives that resided in the tree-house, no matter how amazing the party is, it still doesn't change the fact that they're loosing another member.

Abby was the oldest, and first to be decommissioned. It was hard for everyone, it felt more then just loosing a teammate, they lost a dear friend, a sibling of 5 years. It also brought a dark realization to all of the sector; they are all going to follow.

It's like dominoes, someone once told Kuki, one falls and the others do to, not all at the same time, but they all eventually fall, and the game is over.

And in a few hours, Wally will fall.

Kuki moved through the main room, passing the mess that their comrades left for them.

When she reached Wally's room, she stood outside his door for a few minutes. Maybe I shouldn't go in, he might want to be alone. Unsure she stood there, fist hovering over his door, swaying slightly, along with the rest of her.

Time counts now, we only have hours, there is no time to waist being a coward! Tears were rolling down her face. I just have to do it, its just like a bandied! I just have to rip it off... her fist fill hovered... Rip the damn thing off!

*knock*knock*knock*

Kuki heard grumbling, and then footsteps. She saw the door handle turn and there he stood.

"Kooks? What are-"

Before Wally could finish she lunged into him, sending him a few feet back and then falling onto his couch.

Burring her face into his chest and tightly gripping his waist, she sobbed. After a few seconds Wally wrapped his arms around her and rested his lips on her head. He was a little tense, and Kuki could feel it, but she like it, it felt real, natural,imperfect, it felt like him.

After a while, her voice broke through the sobs. "I'll miss you so much."

He kissed her head, and spoke into her hair, "I know."

"I'm scared that you'll forget me completely. That we'll never speak again."

He hugged her tighter.

"It was so hard for Hoagie, when Abby looked straight at him and had no idea who he was. No matter what he did or said, she didn't remember. I'm terrified of that," she took in a shaky breath, "and I know it will happen."

Wally closed his eyes and nodded into her hair.

Kuki shut her eyes tight, "I don't want you to forget that I love you."

There was a long silence, it wasn't uncomfortable or awkward, but terribly grave. Wally then brought Kuki up to his face and cupped her face.

They kissed. It wasn't their first, they've kissed in the past, but under circumstances that didn't really mean anything,like when they were being controlled or giving the other CPR.

This was real.

They were melting into one another. They let their senses explore. He tasted like tangy mangoes and pop, he smelled like oranges, sandalwood and smoke. His finger tips had callus, but his palm was soft and warm like his lips. She smelled like wild flowers, and tasted like berries and mint. Her fingers were soft and smooth and her lips were moist and hot.

They shifted and moved. Wally laid Kuki down the couch, he was above her. She brought her arms up and twisted her fingers into his golden hair. He kept one hand on her cheek, and brought the other down to her hip.

It felt as though a fire has been lit. Starting with a spark then becoming a flame. That flame, however kept growing.

That spark, was now a huge fire. It's heat radiated from deep inside them.

As Wally massaged her lower back and caressed her cheek, Kuki's hands wandered down. She tugged on his sweater, then started pulling it up. Soon the orange jumper found its way onto the floor along with his white shirt and Kuki's violet night dress.

As Kuki started unbuttoning Wally's boxers, something jolted inside of him. Deeper then the fire.

He opened his eyes and left Kuki's lips. There was a moment where they both stared at each other. She looked confused.

"Wally?" she whispered through half open lips.

He look into her eyes then kissed her nose, "We shouldn't do this, Kooks. It's not right."

"No, its not when you love someone- its okay, because it- because its a special thing,". She stumbled through the sentence, eyes wide, "and, we love each other so-"

"Kuki, if we go through with it I won't forget anything less." He hugged her and brought her up so they were both sitting. "And I don't want to forget something that special."

She nodded, her eyes threatening to overflow any second, "I just- I want you to remember me." One tear left her eye, "To remember what he have."

Wally kissed the top of her head. His eyes were turning red and glossy, "There will always be a part of me that will remember you." his tears were about to spill, Crud! Don't cry! Be brave! "That will remember us, this, everything. Its just that it'll be buried deep in my head."

Kuki nodded, "I'll always love you."

"Me too."

Kuki stood up and got her night dress, "I better go-"

"Stay." Wally interrupted her and then took her hand.

Without words she went back to the couch. They spent the night in each others arms. Neither of them slept, but they didn't speak.

Tears ran down both their faces when the sun rouse.

I might make an epilogue, tell me if you think it would be a good idea!

Anyway, hope you enjoyed! R&R!

Cheers!
