Conclusion and New Beginning

It has been months now since I came back from hell. I was stuck in the Agartha hospital for a day before they discharged. Because of my unique body, I quickly healed. But some scars can never be recovered. For one, I cannot sleep as I would have a nightmare of that day on the operating table; I am taking medicine to help me relax. The SCP also promoted me to SCP Master Sergeant and gave me a hundred million New Zealand dollars for finding a way to destroying the Marker. I also told them of other Markers that are hidden away on the Illuminati base, knowing how to destroy such artifacts, they went around the world where all the Makers are and destroy it. But because I am now disabled, I am forced to retire early from SCP, but I can keep my rank as Master Sargent.

When my friends heard what happened to me and my retirement, they came right away when I was still in the hospital except for Haruhime, which I find surprising considering she liked me. Even the edge lord Grabreil showed a worried face. Android 18 was taking care of me when I was unconscious she was sorry that she couldn't give back my limbs which I didn't blame her. When I was alone in Agartha, I had a hard time taking care of my self due to hallucination of Dr. Shou still lingers in my mind, so to make this easier myself, I went back home to New Zealand. When my mom and Mia saw me with a missing left arm, they cried all day long. What surprised me was my brother was injured an retired from the military.

It is now September 11, 2005. I am currently helping around the restaurant as a waiter. Because having one arm to cook takes longer, then it should be, and they have been worried about me having screamed in terror whenever I sleep without sleeping pills.

Joseph: "what could I get you for today, sir and mam." I said while clipping the note pad with my left fake plastic arm, and using my right arm to write down their orders.

Customer #1: "I would like to have Kiwi burgers and cheese pie."

Customer #2: "I would like to have what she's having"

As they were saying the food they want, I struggled to write all the orders they have told me, but I still manage to get them all. I handed the paper to Jonah so he could cook them. With a worried face, he asked me a question.

Jonah: "are you sure that you wanted to work after getting a vacation from work? For christ's sake, you're disabled." he said with an angry look.

Joseph: "don't worry, I don't want to be dead weight while I'm back home." I said with a smile on my face

Jonah looked at me and just sighed. With worried looked he asked me another question.

Jonah: "are you sure you don't want to talk about it. I mean, when you finally came back home, you looked like you have seen something disturbing. Heck, Mom cried because of your fake right eye and a missing left arm."

Joseph: "Jonah, there somethings in this world that better kept hidden from this world." I said with a sad smile on my face.

Jonah: "whatever, by the way, happy birthday, you probably forgot your birthday... Now that I think of it, why do you look like you never age at all since I last saw you five years ago?" he said with curious eyes on his face.

I did not want to talk about my age. I just realized that I'm considered 24 years old, but mentally I just came out from the icebox just recently, which put me at 22 years old.

Joseph: "I need to go and take some customer's orders." is said an ran towards the first customer that entered.

Joseph: "hello, what do, yo…." as I said that, I got a better looked at who just entered. But before I could tell their name. I was greeted first by her.

Haruhime: "hi, Joseph, I missed you for three years," she said as she ran towards me, hugging my neck, bringing her face close to mine. Before I know it, my lips met hers, as we kissed, I felt the lingering terror that stuck in the back of my mind vanished. In that one kiss, I felt alive. I did not care if there are dangers in this world. I felt the nightmares that I have been scared about melts away as I drown in her lips. But suddenly felt guilty for not accepting her. But right now, I don't know if I deserved her because of my disabilities; I can't protect her from dangers of this world, and I felt useless right now because I'm scared of a dead man. But before I could go in my diaper in my head. As if hearing my thoughts, Haruhime brought her tongue in my mouth, making my negative feelings melt away. Before I knew it, I wrap my hands around her hip and close my eyes. But before, I could feel more of her kiss. I heard clapping, and catcalls sound around us. Knowing I need to stop this kiss, I reluctantly parted ways from her lips. I looked at haruhime with a conflicted face.

Joseph: "Haruhime, I can…" before I could finish my words. Haruhime kissed me again to shut me up.

Haruhime: "I'm done waiting for you blockhead I'm going take action to get your heart." she said with a smile on her face. But before I could tell my words. I heard plates dropping behind me, turned my head, and saw my family with opened mouthes surprised at what they have seen.

Joseph: "Haruhime, this my family, mom, Mia, and Jonah let me introduce to you Haruhime my 'friend'"

A/N: for the people who think this is a harem, no, this is not a harem. I did not say the MC should not date anyone before meeting Lara. I made this relation between MC and Sanjouno Haruhime so she could help fix MC, PTSD from when he was the site-14. I will not tell you what would happen to Haruhime if the mc meets Lara; you just need to read the story to find out. But Haruhime is a vital character to the mc, so don't just disregard her as a one time fling with the MC.
