It was raining that night
Shuurei sat in a chair which was directly in front of the window, the wind was blowing gently, while the moon shone beautifully as it reflected the tiny raindrops that fell from the night sky, she took a deep breath, remembering that night, just like this
"Ryuuki" she said, trying her best to dry her hair.
"Yes?" he replied, he too was drying himself
"I love you..."
Those words made him stop and look at her
"Did...did you just say--"
"I love you" she repeated, cutting across him, as she wrapped her arms tightly around him looking as if she doesn't wanna let go.
He was speechless, for almost two years he had longed for her and only her to say it, those words that meant the world to him. In response, he wrapped his arms around her, she looked up to him with the most wonderful smile that he always wanted to see
"I love you too, more than anything"
His lips then inched from hers, and from that distance he could sense her hear, .beating...no, 'pounding' its way out of her chest. He inhaled the familiar scent that came from her...a mixture of jasmine and vanilla. Their lips then met both started being oblivious of their surroundings. The rain grew heavier as their kiss deepened, compared to their previous kisses, this was far more different. They finally broke apart after feeling their lungs burn for air.
"I really couldn't believe this is happening Shuurei..." Ryuuki whispered resting his forehead on hers.
"Do you want me to prove it?"
"Prove it then, however, if this is just a dream, I don't wanna wake up…"
Shuurei laughed softly as she placed a hand on his cheeks
"This isn't a dream Ryuuki, I assure you..."
...she gently pulled him closer to her, kissing him again...
The raid have finally ceased, Shuurei looked around the overlooking view of the garden from the window as the final raindrops fell...she then felt a strange new feeling inside her. She looked down, placing a hand on her slightly swollen stomach.
"It--it kicked" she whispered, wanting to tell him immediately, she turned towards their bed's direction, expecting to find him there, soundly asleep, however...he wasn't
"Ryuuki?" she called
"I'm right here Shuurei..."
Ryuuki stepped out of the shadows, his honey-blond hair standing out in the dark.
"Is anything wrong dear?" he asked, hugging her from behind…
"Ryuuki…"
"Hmm?"
"Our baby kicked…" Shuurei said, expecting Ryuuki to jump around the room, instead she got he response of the 'different, more mature Ryuuki"
"That's really great news dear…really great" he said gently tightening his arms, just enough to make her feel a bit warm.
Shuurei took s deep breath; at long last, a life with the man she loves is everything she could ever dream of
