AN: It's been a full year since the publication of this story, also being my first. So thought of doing a little something to celebrate it. Many will see it as sad, but I guess it's just on how you view you.

..

..

"Do you, Subaru Natsuki, take Rem Tenshi to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do."

..

"I promise to always be there for you when you need me most, to keep you safe, to hold you, to give you everything I know you deserve. I promise to hold you up when you fall, to be the shoulder to cry on when times are rough, to be the one to show you happiness even in the saddest of times. Just to see you smile with me while we fight side by side to overcome the obstacles of life would make me the happiest man in the world."

..

"Do you, Rem Tenshi, take Subaru Natsuki to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

..

"And as time slowly starts to turn us old, giving us a different life in the same bodies, I promise I'll be the one to take care of you just as you have taken care of me all these years we've been together. Because in the end, you're my everything. And nothing will take you from me. There's no one I would rather be than with you, Rem, my fanatical demon."

..

"I do."

"By the authority vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the br-"

The kiss was shared before he could finish his sentence.

..

The ceremony ended, a beautiful start between two lovers that would never be split apart. Not until the very end between a lovely demon and her handsome human.

So as they walked down the aisle, the faces of loved ones staring at them with glee and happiness, neither could wipe the smiles they had on their faces. The light filtering through the stained glass windows gave a colorful hue to their eyes as they walked closer to the end.

Their previous hardships, while over, still were distant memories that would plague them forever. But they proved one thing; their devotion to one another. Their love, unbroken and unbreakable, would never cease to exist for their need to be with one another was too strong.

And so as they opened the doors that led outside, both were blinded for a short moment as the sunlight hit their adjusting eyes. But when it cleared, when the binding force finally freed them of their confusion of what to do, both were rewarded. A sight of a grassy field with vibrant flowers just outside of the church, giving a beautiful scene of harmony and peace.

"Rem."

Rem, dressed in her elegant white wedding dress, looked up at her husband who spoke her name.

Subaru looked down at his bride, a tear falling down towards his smile. "I love you."

Somehow, Rem was plunged deeper into happiness at this. Her eyes watered as she thought again at what was happening. It had been planned for months, but they were finally here. They were finally one, a real married couple. And those words reminded her of that. So then with an overflowing heart, Rem laughed with tears falling, her arms wrapping around Subaru.

In response, Subaru swept Rem off her feet and carried her bridal style down to where a carriage decorated with roses awaited their arrival.

The sun still high in the sky, a single rose petal departed from the carriage as the two newly weds stepped in. The petal flew up into the air, taking its own turn to freely roam the skies.

The petal traveled across the open space, a smooth dance that none would ever see. But slowly, it started to fall down back towards the ground. It softly landed among a collection of cut stones jutting out of the grassy plain. It made its landing and was swept away by a small breeze yet again before catching onto one of the many stones.

Rigel bent down to his father's grave and swept away the rose petal to reveal the Su in Subaru. He brushed his hand against the stone, feeling it's rough surface. Next to it, laid another tombstone. One that gladly took the name of his mother. "I can't believe it's been a year already," he said to himself.

Spica came up behind her brother, having overheard him. "Time flies, I guess."

"It still feels like it only happened a month ago."

Even though she could see his face, Spica heard the pain in his voice. She chose to hug him broke behind and rest her chin on his shoulder. "I know it still hurts. I feel it too. But we did all we could to help him. There was nothing more to do." She then walked up to be beside him, wrapping her hand around his. "Dad lived a long life, and I'm sure he's happy right now being with mom up in the stars."

Even though the evening sun blocked the light of the billions of stars, Spica still looked up. "Just imagine," she said softly, "our mom and dad turned to stars to bring more light to the nighttime."

Rigel chuckled, Spica's words bring memories, "God you sound like dad with that star nonsense. I still remember how he would always ramble on about them when we were kids." Rigel wiped a tear away before it could fall. "Useless talk."

There was a tightness in Rigel's hand, Spica had squeezed it lightly.

"You say it like you hated it, but I knew just as well as you did that you loved those times we'd just look up at the sky and talk with him and mom."

At this, Rigel looked up at the sky with Spica. The same sky his parents had looked up at all those years ago. "Of course I do now. I miss the old man. He always tried so hard to please us and mom. Sometimes too hard and it'd make him look like an idiot."

"Hehe. I guess so." Spica laid her head on Rigel's shoulder, looking back down at the two graves before them. She smiled, noticing that the spacing between the two tombstones were closer together than any other couple of stones in the area. "At least we know that he's happy where he is. He doesn't have to live only knowing himself."

Rigel smiled, knowing what she said had to be true. He closed his eyes, taking in the cool breeze that swept across him and Spica. He happily thought of his sister and what the future would hold for both her and himself. He thought of his son and wife, knowing then and there that he loved them more than anything else. It was selfless things like that made him like his father.

And so, as the day began to end so did their visit. Both traded hugs before saying their farewells to each other and their parents.

Spica was the first to leave. "Don't stay too much longer. It's getting cold," she said worryingly when he said he'd stay just for a bit.

Rigel sighed at the same time the crickets began to sing their song as soon as they could sense the night.

He stayed there for a few minutes, just staring at the tombstones before him that used to be his parents, the two people that had taken the most care of him. For just a second he thought of what their afterlife was like. He wish he knew, but decided that that wouldn't be answered for many, many years to come. He smiled again.

"I'll miss you."

Slowly, Rigel walked backwards and away from the tombstones. When he decided he had seen enough he turned and walked towards his car, back towards his wife and son who would be happily waiting at home for his return.

The sun finally fell below the horizon when Rigel drove off in his car.

The moon shined brightly down, gracing the dead with light. Along with the moon came the glow of many stars. Among them, two shined their light brighter.

AN: So I'd like to thank you for reading this, all of you. It's been fun, but this is the last time this'll ever be updated. It's been a very busy few months so I was happy just have gotten this done in the two days it took me to write. We recently hit the 30,000 views mark and I'd just like to thank you all again for choosing to read this story and stick with it.

Before I go, I'd just like to do a little trivia of this story because there's a lot of things that went through changes that I deemed worth mentioning. And plus I like reading trivia for shows and characters on the wiki.

-So in the beginning, it wasn't originally supposed to start at the From Zero episode. Instead, my original intention was to start them off already in Kararagi, but I decided to start it at a point people would've been familiar with.

-Okabe wasn't my first choice for the founder of Kararagi. I was going to make an OC for him, but I wasn't sure about it since I was iffy on creating another OC so I decided Okabe, the mad scientist, would suffice.

-The idea of Rem and Subaru going back to the mansion and finding it in ruins was not entirely my idea, but a friend's of mine who had also read the Natsuki Rem IF.

-If you translate Big to Japanese you would get Ōkī. (Oki)

-If you translate Ice to Japanese you would get Kōri. (Koori)

-Beatrice was actually supposed to be a major side character at first, meeting Rem and the tagging along with her to find Subaru.

-In the same storyline where Beatrice stays with the group, the battle with Regulus never would've happened since I didn't plan on them going to the Capital.

-I never exactly planned to create detailed backstories for Oki and Kenny, but created them as I wrote their given chapters.

-Since the introduction of Oki I had already planned out his death. While I had no clue, at the time, as to how they would get there I just knew that was how he was going to die.

-In the storyline where Beatrice follows, she was set to also die shortly after Oki. However, I knew I couldn't do that to Best Girl so she lived.

-The portal itself has two sides; orange and blue. A Portal reference.

-The clock tower staircase scene, a Left 4 Dead 2 reference.

-The metal glove, an Iron Man reference.
