"Well you won't have to wait much longer."
Jack spoke as the driver pulled up to the park entrance. Handing him a piece of paper of when to pick them up Jack got out of the car first. Holding the back over his shoulder Jack opened the door up for Maia and helped her out. After letting her out Jack felt a slight chill fill the air and he knew Maia was naturally a bit colder so he did what he thought was right. Taking off his jacket Jack placed around Maia's shoulders and picked up her hand. Escorting Maia back to the center of the park Jack let out a slight laugh at what he saw. The center fountain they sat at before was now lit up with lights at the bottom and brought to life with a gentle stream of water flowing all around it. Very glad that it worked like that tonight Jack placed the bag down and looked over to Maia speaking in a soft tone as he started to kneel down and open the bag.
"Well Maia would you just stand in front of the fountain. Then wait right there."
After Jack spoke he pulled out a black object that folded open to become a tripod. Setting it up in the grass Jack used his fast reaction time to speed up his movements and construct the rest of it revealing a camera that was set, aimed, and timed. Holding onto the button to start the timer Jack made his way over to Maia and stood behind her watching the camera and looking down at her.
"So what you think about a picture to remember this night? The picture I need has to be a bit of a close up so I'll have to stand behind you. Also..."
Jack wrapped his arms around Maia's waist after cutting himself off and placed his head on her shoulder along Maia's. Holding a slight smile Jack looked over to look at Maia. He knew that she may not be comfortable or not so he waited to see how she would react. Though Jack was right with his choices so far and just kept going with it.
"You ready?"

Maia grinned, letting him help her out. She gave a small shiver, blushing slightly but happy as he put his coat on her. "Thank you."
She breath a happy sigh as they made it too the fountain, eyes lighting up. It looked so beautiful. She was confused by what he said but nodded, staying in front of the fountain. Wait...was that....a camera.
Blood Star smiled, finally understanding. A picture to remember the night. "That would be wonderful." This was all so amazing! More and more like a dream! She couldn't help but beam, letting him hold her from behind. "Ready."

"Here we go."
Jack heard her say ready and hit the button and the timer started counting down from 15 seconds. For Jack this seemed to take a lot of time. His mind was racing thanks to his powers. Making the 15 seconds seem more like minutes to him. Watching Maia Jack couldn't help but smile. Just as the timer hit the last three seconds Jack leaned his head against Maia's smiling as the flash went off. The picture went off just fine and Jack was left standing there holding onto Maia looking down at her. After holding her there for a few extra seconds Jack made his way to the camera pulling out the three pictures it took.
Reaching into the bag with his back facing Jack made a few cutting sounds and then turned back to face Maia with both of his fists closed. Making his way back to Maia he slid behind her letting his hands slide along her neck and then removed them leaving behind a small silver locket. Jack left the picture he just took in it and a few words "Nothing Else Matters".
"Consider it a promise. That you won't be alone ever again."

She couldn't help but grin on her face, the time not going so slowly for her as the pictures were taken. Maia laughed, looking at him once the pictures were done. Once again, she watched in curiosity, gasping as her eyes lit up from the locket.
"Jack....it's beautiful. Thank you. Everything about this night has been so wonderful and perfect. It's been like a dream!"

"It may seem like a dream to you. To me it feels like I finally woke up from a bad dream and can now really live."
Jack looked up the star lit sky and felt a cool rush of air hit his warm body. Causing him to let out another smile that lead to him looking back to Maia. To Jack she was perfect and was the best thing that could of happened to Jack. So many people he could of ran into and it was Maia. She may of saved him from so much torment before he finally lost what little humanity he had left.
"You make me feel like I'm finally breathing after a life of drowning. Maia my body instantly reacted to your very touch and my heart to just the sight of you. I fell in love with just one look and I want to continue to be here for you."
Jack gently lifted his arms holding Maia's hands and watching her with eyes filled with nothing but love for Maia. It's something that has been itching to escape him for a while now. Everything she did to him and everything she was willing to do for him. Jack's whole body and soul knew it before he could even understand. She stole it all from him. Leaning in close to Maia Jack spoke in a whisper watching her.
"I love you Maia. I can't change all the stupid things I have done. I never wanted anything ever. I didn't even have a reason to live. You filled all these wants and desires in one night. Your all that matters to me. I want you to know that no matter what I'll love you and be anything or do anything for you."

"Oh, Jack." Maia had to do her best not to cry with joy. He was so sweet....so kind.
"You're probably the best thing to ever happen to me. Most would run away seeing what I am. But around you....for the first time in my life I feel like just another teenage girl. I don't feel like a freak. I-I feel...like I'm actually pretty and not just the daughter of an experiment gone wrong."
She gave a small laugh but kept on smiling. She could feel her heart fluttering at his words. "You make me feel truly alive, Jack. Like I'm not so alone. I-I love you, Jack." Maia's smile brightened. "I'll always love you. I hope to be there for you as much as I can....I want to heal your pain."

"Maia..."
Jack heard her words and it made him feel so different, that it was like he was becoming someone else. She was the most gentle person in the world and the thought of her being a freak just seamed idiotic. Though Jack didn't mind cause it just meant he could have her all to himself. Moving in closer Jack held onto her waist and watched her keep speaking. All the way till she finally said she loved him back. Just as she finished her words Jack leaned in pressing his lips gently against hers to show her just how much she meant to him. After a short moment Jack stopped and opened his eyes back to Maia.
"I couldn't resist. I've wanted to do that since I saw you step out that door to me this night. Your beauty has stolen my heart."
Jack held a slight grin as he felt his body get so cool with the action he just did with Maia. It was like the more he fell in love with Maia and the more he was able to show it, the more he was able to cure himself of his pain. Holding onto Maia Jack looked back to see the driver pull up and decided it was a good time to get Maia home.
"Well I think we should get you home for the night. Don't want your mother getting worried."

She could feel her heart racing as he got closer, slowly closing her eyes. Maia had actually been waiting for this all night. She couldn't help a happy sigh, smiling as the kiss ended.
"I've been waiting the same. It was...very nice, Jack."
This was so nice. She didn't feel...so cold like a corpse anymore. She felt warmer. It was wonderful! Maia looked over, seeing the diver back and nodded.
"Yes....while she allowed this worrying her can be dangerous."

Jack took hold of Maia's hand and guided her back to the car. After leading her into the car Jack ran back getting back all the things he brought. Packing it up and making his way back to the car. Throwing it in the trunk Jack got in the car as well. Speaking a soft tone Jack moved his arm around Maia as the car started to move.
"Take the long way home driver....Your mother can wait just a little longer."
Jack let out a slight laugh and looked out the window at all the city lights as the car quietly made it's way back home. Never in his life did he think he would be in love with someone. Even more so that someone would be in love with him. Maia was truly a gift and was now something Jack would always protect.
"Tomorrow Maia I will have to go out....I still have a job I must do. Just know I'll always be coming home to you."
Just as Jack spoke these words they pulled up to Maia's street and soon up to her house. Stepping out Jack opened up the car door for Maia and made his way with her up the stairs. Still a bit nervous around her mother Jack just waited for her to walk in and would follow her to make sure everything was okay.

Maia happily walked with him happily into the car, enjoying the time in there. Even if it wasn't much it was still very nice. She listened to what Jack said nodding.
"It's alright. I have some home school lessons tomorrow. Mom might give me double work so..we can spend more time together."
She gave a small blushed but kept on smiling at him. It had been indeed a night to remember. A wonderful, magical night with someone that loved her for her. Maia couldn't help a small laugh at his hesitation, opening the door and walking in. "Relax. Sure she's not going to ambush us asking us where we've been."

Jack just gave a light sigh of relief when they finally made it home. It was a very emotional day for him and it was good to know he was able to get it all finished without a hitch. Though Maia was probably right and her mother wouldn't ambush them with questions. Jack was just nervous around certain people and he really couldn't help it. It would probably be a little before he ever approached her on his own. That was just how Jack was.
"I'm sure it will be fine as well. I just have some habits."
Walking in behind Maia Jack removed his jacket from her shoulders and folded it over his own shoulder. Looking around he realized it would take some getting use to. It was a long time since Jack was in a place that was all put together and clean. If it wasn't for Maia his life would still be a nightmare. Now it was nothing but a life. To real for a dream. Jack loved Maia and it was clear to him how she made him feel.
"I'll go wait upstairs for you. I know you and your mother will want to talk for a bit. If you need me just say my name."
Jack made his way up the stairs and into his room laying down his jacket and then found himself laying on his bed. His hand clutching his shirt just over his chest Jack stared up at the ceiling. His mind in thought and a new feeling burning in his chest. This time something he has not experienced.

She happily nodded, smiling brightly at him. "Alright."
Maia went to the living room to see there was her mother who at once jumped up and hugged her. "Oh! My little baby's all grown up! How was your first date? Did you have a good time?"
She couldn't help but laugh, beaming. "Oh, it was the best! He planned everything to the tiniest detail. Even gave me this locket."
"My. That is stunning. I'm so happy! I knew someday you'd find someone just not this young. I'm glad your so happy. Jack is a great young man. Now...I'm sure you've had a long night. Go on."
Maia laughed, nodding as she took up the stairs, slowly door and knocking on Jack's door.
