What's happily ever after anyway?
A GALS fanfic
Yeah I'm back!!
Chapter 1
This past year had been really difficult for me, but this year will be different and I know it. I've got the grades, I've got the boy of my dreams, and I have my friends. Nothing can go wrong!!
These were my thoughts as I stumbled out of my house and down the driveway and almost into the street. I caught ands steadied myself. Then I saw him. "Otohata- Kun"! I sang throwing myself at him.
He caught me in a hug. "Have you been drinking"? He asked with a smirk. I frowned. "No" I said. "What's with the good mood"? He asked. "I'm just excited about the new year" I said as he lifted me onto his motorcycle.
"Yeah, event of the century" he muttered sarcastically. "Together we can do anything" I quoted him, leaning into him like we were already riding the bike. He twisted around to kiss me. "Anything" he asked suggestively, making me blush.

"Hoy Aya"! Ran called to me happily. She looked very nice. Clothed in black shorts, a pink top and new platform boots. She waved at me with her free hand, her other hand was twined with Tatsukichi's.
This Unusual for this couple, who'd gotten in a big fight about their lovey dovey index last summer. "Hoy Ran"! I called back. Her eyes flashed to mine and Rei's hand which we twined together and his free arm was around my waist.
"Rei-pyon"! She called. "Hey Kotobuki" he said dryly. "Brother"! Tatsukichi called gleefully. "Where's Miyu" I asked. "Her and Yamato are going to be a little late" she said with a knowing smirk.
"Why"? Tatsukichi asked, oblivious. Ran whispered something in his ear and he flushed scarlet, a very me- like gesture. "That's weird she knows she's supposed to meet us here for breakfast" I said, thinking out loud.
"We could always meet here after school" Rei said mentally going over his schedule. "You don't have to work that long today" I reminded him. I remembered going there this summer sitting with him behind the counter and sometimes perched atop it talking to him about everything from America's war to the service in the local restraunts.
That was problay what I'd be doing after school, ditching was healthy as Ran had once said. "How about we meet here at five"? Ran inquired. "Great" I said. "We have to go" Rei said.
"Ja ne Ran" I called as headed back toward the moped.
Later
"I wish we could stay here together forever". "I can miss the last half hour if you'd like" Rei said, his face just inches from mine. "I wouldn't want you get in trouble because of me"- I was cut off again.
We were having our afternoon tryst behind the record store, as usual. It lasted for a blissful fifteen minutes, full of kisses and near asthma attacks. "Let me rephrase that last part" I gasped when we broke apart. "Rei"? A man's voice called.
"Dammit" he growled. "Coming sir"! He called. He gave a last kiss, my personal favorite and grabbed my hand. We strode out from behind the store. "Look who I ran into" he said smiling at me.
"What a coincidence" I said with another smile at Rei. "Hello Aya" the boss said with a brilliant smile. "Hello" I answered back. "Don't just stand out here Aya come on in" he said.
I loved the record shop. Rei already had my little area behind the counter set up. It consisted of: A comfy chair and some of our summer favorite books were set up next to where he would stand.
I happily sat down and stared at him. A girl wandered into the store. "Welcome to Cisco Records can I help you"? He asked. She nodded but I could practically guess the double meaning behind the nods. "Anything in particular-"? "Kauzko" she said.
She led him to a random rack full of records that I was sure she didn't know about. I settled in and picked up another book. All too soon he leaned over me and pecked me on the lips.
"Ready to go"? He asked me. I was dazzled. I just nodded mutely and let him lead me outside. When we reached the stairs he pulled me closer to him. "What's wrong"? "Nothing" "Don't lie". I smiled at him and blushed.
"It's just"- "What"? "I can't believe that you belong to me, I mean there are so many other girls in Shibuya"- he silenced me effectively until I almost died from air deprivation. "Whom I care nothing about and you are the only one I want no matter if I live to be 100,000" he said.
"I love you too" I said leaning against him. This moment was perfect. The sun was slowly slipping toward the Earth doing interesting things to our shadows. I looked up and caught him staring at me. "What" I asked feeling self conscious.
"Do you realize how beautiful you are"? He asked stroking my hair. "Have you"? I asked him. "Me"? "You aren't the number one guy in Shibuya for nothing". "Your not my girlfriend for nothing either" he said with a smirk. "I love you" I breathed stretching up on the toes of my boots to kiss him again.
If we kept this up, I'd have balloon lips later, not that I minded. "Hoy Aya, Rei-pyon"! A voice called. It was Ran, Miyu, Yamato, and Tatsukichi. We quickly broke apart embarrassed. "Are you coming or should we leave you two alone"? She teased.
"We're coming" Rei said unwillingly. If he'd had is way we'd problay be at his place- Not that'd we ever gotten that far but the look in his eyes and the unfamiliar longing that I felt-
He was looking at me with smoldering eyes. "Yeah, we're coming" I croaked.

"Cho Hoy-chi"! Ran cried as she dug into another bowl of Ramen. "Ran-pyon that's your fifth one" Tatsukichi said sweat dropping. "It's so freakin good" she raved. "You never eat my Ramen like that" he said, pouting.
I laughed at their display and spared a glance at Rei. His eyes did that unfair smoldering thing again. He held my gaze and leaned over. "Do you want to get out of here"/ he whispered. I nodded mutely again.
"I should get Aya home" Rei said pulling me to my feet. "That's right I'm a little tired" I lied. "I call you later" Miyu called to me as I nodded again.
We ran thorough the streets and I'd never moved that fast in my life. We got to the apartment building but he couldn't find his key. "Dammit" he hissed. I dangled my spare key in front of him. With a swift motion he opened the door and lifted me in closing it with his foot.
Clothes flew across the room like there was a tornado in the apartment. "Are you sure Aya"? He asked me. "Never been so sure about anything in my life" I answered him. He pulled me to him fiercely.
I can't remember what followed after that, except it was as wild and violent as a summer thunderstorm.
A couple of hours later….
"Wow" I breathed propping myself up on one elbow. "How badly are you hurt, don't downplay it" he ordered. I flexed my muscles. "I've never been better" I said happily. He opened one eye. "Really"? "Yeah" I said. I leaned against him again. "Wow" he said.
I giggled. "That's my line" I said. He ruffled my hair. "That was the best night of my life" he said with a smile. "Mine too" I said dreamily, remembering as the color flooded my face. "I love it when you do that" he said kissing the tip of my nose.
There was a knock on his door. "Rei honey are you home"? A woman's voice asked. Oh, god. His mother. "Yeah mom hold on" he said, throwing a panicked glance at me. "Would it be childish if I hid in your closet"? I asked frantically.
"No" he hissed lifting me out of bed, sheets and all and stuffing me into the linen closet. "I love you" he said kissing me quickly and shutting the door.
"What took you so long" his mother demanded. "Sorry I was in the shower". "It's okay what have you been doing in here" she asked. She must've been looking down at his disheveled room. "Uh, spring cleaning" he said. I could imagine his face right now and I stifled a giggle.
"What was that"? She asked looking around. From the slats of the closet I could see Rei's black glare toward the closet. "So… are you going to bring this Aya of yours on Saturday or not"/ she asked.
"Yeah I'll just have to ask her about it, see if she has any plans" he said. "Why don't you invite all of your friends"? She asked. "Yeah sure, mom. Bye" he said. "Rei Otohata your father will hear about this" I heard her shout as she stomped off down the hallway.
A few minutes later the closet door opened. "What's going on Saturday"/ I asked as we crawled from the floor 25 minutes later. "My parents are having a barbecue and they want you all to come" he said.
"That sounds great" I said looking around for my underwear. "Rei…" I trailed off my eyes frantically searching the floor. "I don't think they survived our err, activities" he said sheepishly.
We both crashed to the floor in gales of laughter.
What do you think? Good? Bad? I know Aya and Rei are a little OOC and what will happen is NOT what you think will!
R and R and I'll post the "angel" epilogue! It's very long so being prepared!
