A/N: Felt like writing a little extra drabble to end this story.. Maybe if I think of anything more I want to happen I'll update subsequent chapters but this story is considered officially over!

Since they didn't properly say I love you in the last chapter (I felt that would be a little hasty since they hadn't even properly started dating yet) I wanted to address that here. Enjoy!

"Y-you don't have to hold my hand all the time, Lloyd," Reimi said sheepishly as Lloyd struggled to buy accessories at the Asgard shop, one-handed, the other securely holding Reimi's.

"But I want to," he replied, handing the Gald over.

Reimi blushed and looked downwards, unable to say anything further for a moment, in which time Lloyd completed his purchase and the two of them left, the shop assistant smirking at them on the way out.

She noticed as they walked outside they also attracted attention.

"Everyone's staring.. You really are… a bit of a celebrity," she noted, a little shy.

"Does it bother you? Is that why…" his face looked unreadable for a second, then he smiled again. "I'm sorry, Reimi, I know you don't like this sort of attention. We don't have to hold hands," and he let go of hers, burying his own in his pocket.

Reimi felt the loss immediately.

"N-no Lloyd, I didn't mean-"

"It's okay," he gave a small smile, "We should probably act more incognito anyway if we want to find out about the exspheres,"

Later that night when they were booked into the Asgard Inn, each in their separate beds, Reimi turned to Lloyd in the dark.

"Are you still awake?"

"Yeah," he replied, staring up at the ceiling.

"… are you angry with me?" she questioned, noticing he'd been a little off the rest of the day.

"No,"

Reimi stayed quiet for a moment but he didn't elaborate further. Eventually she spoke again.

"I'm sorry about this morning," she said softly. "I was a little scared of the attention but… I was happy too, you know,"

"…Why?" he slowly answered back.

"Because I like that you wanted to hold my hand in public. I like being able to go places with you, as a couple," she murmured.

"…I was upset…" he admitted after a moment, Reimi closed her eyes. "But it's only because I wanted to hold your hand for so long, now that I can finally do it, I don't want to let it go,"

Reimi flushed.

"So… I was sad when I thought you were embarrassed and maybe didn't want to hold my hand back," he sighed.

"Why would I…" she flustered. "Lloyd, I could never be embarrassed of you!"

Lloyd rolled over slightly so he could see her better in the dim moonlight.

"I can't believe how lucky I am that we're together! I wake up in the morning happier then I've ever been because we're together!" she clenched the sides of the bed and looked away. "I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry,"

She felt thoroughly ashamed of herself and at the scene she had just made. She lay back down and turned away. "You do deserve someone who doesn't act embarrassed. I really let you down, I know," tears began to sting her eyes.

"Reimi," suddenly his voice sounded a lot closer. She froze. The covers over her rose and fell as Lloyd slipped in behind her, his arms tightly circled her. "I was upset, but I'm not anymore. I know you're shy, I know you're scared of attention, but I just can't help myself with you," he leant his head against the back of hers.

Reimi brought her hands up to his and slowly intertwined them.

They didn't speak for awhile, then Lloyd broke the silence.

"And it's because I really love you, Reimi,"

Reimi's eyes fluttered open. She thought she would burst from her happiness. Extracting her hands she turned to Lloyd, unable to properly make out his expression in the dark.

She leant forwards and planted a soft kiss on his lips. He smiled into it and leant forwards for another, hands locking again around her back.

After a few minutes Reimi replied. "I really love you too,"

Lloyd laughed. "Took you long enough to say it back,"

"I was distracted by the kissing," she grinned, twirling her fingers around one of his small ponytails.

"It was worth the wait,"

She shuffled closer so that she was holding Lloyd, his head just under her chin.

"How long… how long did you like me for?" she continued.

Lloyd inhaled deeply. "A long long time, I didn't even realize it at first. I thought I was just grateful.. but it didn't take me long to understand why I felt differently about you than I did Elsa or Amy.. I wanted you to be mine,"

Reimi hugged him tighter, she didn't have any words to answer with.

He tilted his head up slightly and kissed her again. Her face was warm from blushing.

Hesitating, he whispered, "Can we… stay like this, tonight?"

Reimi nodded. "Any night… or day. I'm happiest by your side,"

Lloyd leant into her and got comfortable for the night, Reimi still cradling him until they both fell asleep.
