"I don't know if the chocolates didn't say enough to you but, Onodera, will you be my Valentine?"

/Commercial Break Screen/

I couldn't bring myself to tell him to leave. Silence over took the apartment. I was surprised to say the least when he asked me. I knew I was blushing, my face felt warm, and whenever I'm by Takano I'm always warm. His presence just makes my heart race faster. I feel like my heart will jump out of my chest right now. He's still holding my hands, I wonder if he can feel my heart beat...

It had just occurred to me that I still haven't given Takano an answer. We had just stood there in the doorway. I had no idea what to do. I panicked and just pulled Takano forward into my apartment. Something I've never done before. Takano seemed confused at first but, gradually went along with it. He seemed to notice that this was a new thing too. I motioned him to sit in my couch.

"I-I'll go get us some drinks." I said as I dropped my bag on the floor and went straight for the kitchen.

While pouring some water into glasses, I saw Takano form the corner of my eye. He just sat there in the center of the couch. He was staring at me, very carefully. I immediately went back to focusing on the drinks and I picked up the two glasses.

I walked back to where Takano was sitting and I handed him a glass.

"Here you go."

"Thanks."

I sat down on the right side of him, far enough to have some personal space. I sipped some of the ice water and yet again looked at him from the corners of my eye. He was just sipping the water, too. I looked back at the glass in front of me. The cold air in the glass nipped at my nose a little.

Takano sat forward a little, spinning the glass around a little so the water swirled. I put my glass down and waited. Waited for something.

"You still never answered my question." He finally broke the silence.

"U-Um.." I was trying to stall. I needed a little time to get my thoughts together.

My thoughts are words I can't convey into sentences. I knew what I needed to say but, I couldn't bring myself to say it. I was nervous as is and Takano's piercing gaze on me wasn't helping. My hands started to quiver and fumble with the couch cushion. What is another way to get my message across? What else works better than words? Actions! What can I do?

I got an idea. I stood up and walked to Takano. In less than a second I was standing in front of him. I took his hands into mine and made him stand up. He looked confused. I released my grip from his hands.

I was utterly embarrassed at what I was going to do next. I wrapped my arms around his neck and brought him down towards me. I lifted my heels up a little as well. He got what I was going to do because in no time our parted lips met. Takano wrapped his arms around my waist deepening the kiss. I felt his tongue slip into my mouth. I didn't have the effort to fight back so I let him do what ever he wanted.

Why do his kisses feel this good?

They feel to good to be true. The kiss felt like it lasted forever. It was as if time itself had stopped just for us. Just as I was running short on breath, I pulled away. I was breathless as I panted. I heard a hiss come from Takano.

"Sorry, I forgot to breathe." I said between breaths.

Takano lowered his neck even more until he was close to my ear.

"I'll take that you do want to be my Valentine." He whispered. His hot breath tickled my ear and sent shivers down my spine.

"I thought the kiss answered that question." I replied playfully.

I could feel Takano smile into my shoulder as he hugged my waist.

Why do his arms hold me this gently?

Why does this feel so good? This warmth, engulfing me. I rested my head on his shoulder. We stayed like that for a moment before Takano broke the silence again.

"I love you, Ritsu."

What I said next surprised even myself. I had never knew I could say them so easily. It was like a huge burden was lifted off my shoulders. The feelings I've been keeping to myself this whole time. Keeping them to myself because of my fear of getting hurt again. I has somehow emptied all those doubts in my mind. I knew that because is said it.

"I love you too, Masamune."

Takano tensed at this. He froze and held his breath. After a while he seemed to regain what had happened. His arms seemed to hug me tighter, he wouldn't let go. Almost as if he was afraid I would disappear, not that I'm complaining or anything...

"Ritsu... You. T-That wasn't so hard now, was it?" He stammered.

"No. It wasn't. It wasn't."

"I love you, I love you, I love you..."

"I know, I love you too."

Me : /shot by all the feelings/ ; w ; /sniff sniff/ I hope you guys enjoyed that .
Until my next story ~

Ja ne ~

Love, Ritsu
