Netherlands x Dead!Reader Better places.

(Netherland's P.O.V.)

    Tim walked through a large crowd on the streets of Amsterdam, keeping his head low. His green eyes red and puffy from crying. You see, today Tim here was going to a funeral to someone dear to him. He wore the fanciest suit he could find, in his breast pocket was a (Fav/ Flower), and he was wearing his signature long blue and white scarf, that she loved so much. He silently sighed and finally arrived at the most magnificent church. The funeral didn't start until 10:30 am and it was currently 9:45 am. He decided to take a walk in the small garden next to the church. Tim walked through the white picket fence surrounding the colorful garden, carefully examining  each flower he saw. Suddenly, he came to an abrupt stop, something had caught his attention, a batch of (Fav/flowers)...

~Flashback~

  It was a nice day at school and Tim was spending some of his free time outside walking around on the campus. His mind kept trailing off to a certain (Hair color) female, with her captive (eye color)eyes that shined like stars. He just couldn't get her out of his mind, she always brought butterflies to his stomach,  and it stressed him. He knew this feeling very well, it was a feeling called love. Tim sighed and glanced up at the beautiful blue sky, not paying attention to his surroundings. He was nearly knocked down when somebody jumped onto his back. "What the...!" He yelled. He was about to forcefully knock the person off of him until he heard a cute familiar giggle.

  "Gotcha Tim!" (Name) giggled and hopped off his back. Tim turned around and sighed.

  "Don't do that (Name) I could of hurt you.." He felt slightly guilty knowing he could of hurt the woman that infiltrated his mind.

  "Oh you wouldn't do that! Hey Tim, I heard the school opened up a green house for senior students, would you like to take a look with me?" She asked, tilting her head to the side.

  "J-ja why not.." He would usually said no to any girl that would ask but he could never say no to (Name). It was a short walk to the left side of the school until the two came across a large green building.

  "We're here!" (Name) smiled and opened the door to the green house. (Name) turned around to face Tim with a big smile. "Ready?" He nodded and hid his face in to his scarf once she turned around, hoping the conceal a major blush forming on his cheeks. They walked into the green house and both of their eyes widen. The place was beautiful!"Oh my.."

  "It is beautiful." Tim gawked at the sight of all the different flowers, they even had a bunch national flowers. He even spotted his national(1) flower from the Netherlands, Tulips. He walked over to the tulips and inspected each Tulip. They had every known color of Tulips.

  "I see you fancy Tulips, are they your favorite flower?" (Name) asked and stood next to him.

  "They are the national flower of my homeland. Well it isn't the official flower of Netherlands but people consider it to be." He sighed and looked at the enchanting woman. "Do you have a favorite flower, (Name)?"

  "I do." She smiled sweetly and pointed to the batch right next to the Tulips, (Fav/flowers). "(Fav/flowers)are very beautiful in my opinion. As well as Tulips." Something went off in the tall Dutch man. He bent down and picked a (Fav/flower).

  "They are quiet beautiful," He pushed some of her (hair color) hair behind her ear and put the flower behind her ear and smiled sweetly. "But... they aren't as beautiful as you, (Name)." Tim noticed a progressing  pink shade dance on (Name) (skin tone) face. "Ik houd van jou. Ik houd van jou (Name)." He spoke softly pulling her into a tight embrace.

  "Tim, say that in English please."

  "It means... I love you."

  "Well then, I love you too." Tim bent down a bit and (Name)went on her toes, and their lips met. Tim was a bit shocked on how soft (Name)'s lips and the same with (Name). They pulled away and stared into each other's eyes, still in each other's embrace. (Name)rested her head on his chest. "I love you Tim."

  "I love you, (Name)."

~End of Flashback~

  The memory of when they confessed to brought tears to Tim's eyes.  He noticed next to the flowers where a batch of Tulips. Cautiously, he picks a light pink one and puts it in his breast pocket. He continued walking through the garden. Butterflies were flying everywhere along with dragonflies, Ladybugs crawling on all the plants, the Dutch man felt at ease. He sighed and walked on a small path that lead to a water fountain. Tim pondered for a moment, the water fountain looked a lot like the one in the park where he....

~Flashback~

  Tim and (Name) were calmly walking through the neighborhood park, hands  intertwined. It has been two years since they confessed their love for each other. They both graduated that year and the two both go to the same college. (Name) rested her head on her boyfriends' shoulder and closed her eyes.

  "Today is so peaceful, huh Tim?" She asked sweetly.

  "Ja he replied. Though once they get to the old fountain that was in the park, something was going to change. Tim put his free hand into his blue sweater pocket and wrapped his hand around a small velvet box that he was hiding in there. Tim was planning to propose to the woman and spend the rest of his life with her. He knew that it would be hard to get married while they are still in college, but he couldn't wait. After a few more minutes of walking, the couple reached the old fountain. It was a regular grey marble fountain with beautiful blue and green stones incrusted into the grey marble. (Name) quickly skipped over the fountain and inspected carefully, with her eyes sparkling.

  "It's just so... beautiful!" She gushed. Tim on the other hand was not looking at the fountain. He quickly pulled out the red velvet box and went down on one knee. He opened the box, inside was a cute, fashionable ring with (Birthstone) stone in the middle. "Hey Tim what do you-" (Name) was cut off by her own gasp at the sight of Tim.

  "(Name)...We've known each other since we were sophomores, and we have been dating since we were seniors two years ago. You are the best thing that has happened to me, you make me smile when there are bad days. I know we are both in college and it may be hard for us to get married... but I think we are ready for this big step in life. So will you do me the honor in being my wife?" Tim was blushing madly, but he look adorable doing so.

  "I-I.." (Name)'s words trailed off, and she began to blush madly. Tears were forming in her (Eye color) eyes. Tim thought the worst, thinking she was going to say no. (Name) caught his worry and got back on track. "Of course I will! Y-yes!" She glomped him, making him fall to the ground. (Name) began kissing everywhere on his face, even on his small scar above his right eye. "Yes! Yes!" Tim chuckled and wrapped his long, masculine, arms around the woman's frame. They laid like that for the rest of the day in pure happiness...

~End of Flashback~

  Tim didn't even notice the tears streaming down his  fare-skinned toned face. He looked at his wrist watch and say it was 10:20pm. 'Probably should get a seat.." He thought as the tears where still falling from his green eyes. Finally noticing them, he quickly got himself back under control and wiped the remaining tears off his face and began walking towards the church building. He reached the tall doors of the building and pushed them open. He saw a lot of familiar faces at the funeral, but also a lot of unfamiliar faces. Tim silently walked down a isle and sat near the front, near her family. He sighed, the memory of the accident began flooding Tim's mind..

~Flashback~

  It has been two months since Tim proposed to (Name) and the two already found themselves a cheap apartment. Tim was currently in the kitchen making dinner, since it was his turn, when he noticed he didn't have any pepper left. He grumbled something in Dutch, trying to figure out what he should do. (Name) walked into the kitchen and noticed something was bothering her fiancé.

  "Something wrong Tim?" She asked with concern tinting her voice. Tim looked over and shook his head slightly.

  "Not really, I don't have pepper for dinner tonight"

  "Well I can go out and get the pepper while you watch the food." (Name) grabbed the car keys. Tim was about to protest with her but she already stuck up her hand.

  "Be safe, okay?" Tim sighed and kissed the temple of her head which made her giggle slightly.

  "I will! No worries Tim." She waved and headed out the door. He sighed and supervised what he was cooking.

  Thirty minutes had passed and (Name) hasn't returned, and he was beginning to worry. He tried to calm himself down, maybe there was traffic. He decided to let the dinner simmer for awhile and rest up in the living room. He sat down on the (Color) couch that the two owned and turned the T.V. on. The first channel that appeared was a news channel. Tim decided to watch it. A sharp looking man came on and began his news report. "Just in, a car crash just recently happened near Target, a woman of the name (Name) (Surname) was hit by a drunk driver and she died on impact.-" Tim quickly shut the T.V. off and began pacing in the front room, gripping his blonde hair.

  "No no no no no no.." He muttered. Just then the phone rang. He quickly raced to the phone, hoping it was his fiancé calling him, tell him that she was alright was going to be a bit late returning home.

  "Hello is this... Tim Dushku(2)?" Wasn't (Name).

  "J-ja.. may I ask who is speaking?" Tim tried to cover up the worry and pain in his voice.

  "I'm Detective Armin Alert. I called to inform you that your fiancé (Name) (Surname) was killed in a drunk driving accident and we would like you to come in tomorrow to answer some question, okay?"

 "J-ja that w-would be fine." He tried holding back all his tears.

  "Tim, I understand what you are going through, don't worry if you need any support, we can always hang out." With that, Detective Armin hung up. Tim place the phone down on the table, his body began to shake. He collapsed on to the floor, tears pouring from his green eyes. His cries were loud and full of pain, wishing he would of gone to the store instead of her...

~End of Flashback~

  Tim was surely about to cry when he saw the coffin of his beloved, but he kept himself strong until he was alone. He saw someone sit next to him, he looked over to his left and saw his new found friend, Detective Armin Alert. Armin was rather short whit shoulder length blonde hair and had crystal blue eyes. Tim learned that Armin's best friend, Eren Jaeger, was killed by a woman named Annie. Armin helped Tim when he was falling it to a very depressive state. "I came to give some respect and to support you, I hope you don't mind.." The blue eyed man spoke softly.

  "It isn't a problem, Armin." The Dutch man replied solemnly. He glanced around and saw everyone beginning to sit down. "It's...it's starting.." Tim hoped he wouldn't burst into tears during the reception..

~Timeskip~

  The funeral was long over, and the only two left were Tim and Armin, who were currently visiting (Name)'s grave. Her tombstone was decorated with all kinds of flowers, but none her favorite. Tim carefully took out the two flowers in his breast pocket, bent down, and laid them right in front of the tombstone. He made the stem of the Tulip cross with the (Favorite flower)'s stem. He stood up and stared at his lovers grave for a moment and broke out into tears. His sobs were loud and the pain in his chest was bursting. Armin came over and rested his hand on Tim's shoulder. "There there, let it out. She is in a better place." Armin comforted Tim which made him calm down. Tim looked at the grave next to (Name)'s and saw a name that was familiar... Eren Jaeger. He glanced back at Armin, who smiled sadly. He took a deep breath in and breathed out.

  "They are in a better place....." Tim croaked. The two began to walk away. Tim thought to himself....

  'I will always love you, (Name). I will always love you...'
