What the hell…I…did I just…kiss Jay? My lips linger just above his and speak words.

"I love you, Jay." And now I've said it. Holy crap.

As I stare down at him I watch his eyes become cloudy, and I can't tell what he'll do next. His hand closes around my wrist, then the other; I won't be able to escape.

"Jay…I'm sorry…please Jay…forgive me, forget this ever happened…" I close my eyes, expecting a punch or a kick or a slap, but I don't feel any pain. I open my eyes to see him get closer to me. And then something amazing happens: Jay kisses me. Jay kisses me fiercely until I start to struggle, low on oxygen.

"It's about damn time, Aru. I love you too." He pulls me into another kiss, making it impossible for me to reply. I break away, out of breath and confused as hell.

"How in the…"

"Aru, I've always loved you. I-"

"Stop it, Jay."

"Hm?"

"Stop it, stop saying it, stop lying to me!"

"Aru, wha-"

"SHUT UP!" I broke free of his grip and ran into the closet, locking the door behind me. I curled up into a ball of flesh and clothes.

No Jay, you don't love me, you can't. I know I want you to love me, I want it so incredibly much, but it's impossible for you to love me. I hear your pleas and you're banging on the door but I ignore you, it's the best for the both of us. I fall asleep in the darkness, its endlessness making my eyelids grow heavy.

I wake up after what seemed to be a few seconds of sleep. I open the door quietly and see the moon shining its heart out in the midnight hour. My stomach makes a pitiful noise, deprived of its dinner. I walk over to the fridge, pondering and inspecting the items inside, wondering which will satisfy me the most.

I feel a strong grip encircle my waist, not wanting to let go.

"Jay…"

"Aru, did you listen to your heart?"

"You know the answer to that." I murmur softly as I close the refrigerator door.

Jay's lips touch my cheek, soft as satin. They whisper "I love you" so many times it makes me dizzy. Those pale arms turn me so I can face him. His features are moonlit beautifully like always, but those eyes are different this time. They are filled to the brim and overflowing with love, only for me. Jay's lips meet mine head on, fiercely kissing me, but also tender. I'm absorbed into these soft lips, this angelic boy.

Fire and Ice had reached a compromise.

And this fanfiction has reached its end. Hope you have enjoyed this story, and please review to tell me what you think!
