One spit no, two spits yes

A/N: I'm not gonna lie this will hurt, I cried writing it. AU Rudy lived, Liesel and Max were together, now they're not. It's Rudy's turn. It's short but painful.

"I love you" he whispered in her ear.

They were standing in the same bridge where Rudy threw away and saved her diary all those years ago, his arms wrapped around her from behind. "Do you love me back?" He asked. She wasn't ready to say it so instead she leaned over the rail and spat twice. A memory from their first day at school floated through the air, "was that one spit no, two spits yes?" The echo of a much younger Rudy sounded. Without another word Rudy tightened his arms around her and kissed her neck, they'd been together almost two months now after Max left and he'd still yet to have gotten the kiss she owed him. That's okay he'll wait forever for it
