Summary: Having finally admitted how she really feels about Otoya, she rewards his patience.
Otoya ran his fingers over the watch face again, smiling softly at the inscription. So, it was true. She really did care for him as he did for her. "This alone I will cherish all my life." He murmured softly, repeating his words from earlier.
"I'm glad you like it." Yuri said, those lovely eyes shining. "I really am sorry… you saved me, you listened to me, you cared for me… and I was horrible to you. You didn't deserve that."
"That's all right." Otoya, if anything, was quick to forgive her and he reached out to her. His fingers gently ran along her face and surprisingly, she leaned into the gentle touch. "I figured that eventually, you'd give into my charms."
Or you'd drive me crazy for the rest of my life. She thought, amused. Despite the calluses that violin playing had given his fingers, his touch felt almost smooth. It was warm, comforting… much like his company had been to her. "I did mean it…" Her voice was quiet. "What I said to Jiro. I do love you. It just… took me a while to realize it."
"There is no need for apologizing." Otoya waved his hand in the air for a moment. "All that matters is the now. You love me… and I love you. Together we will sail the oceans of love." The dramatic tone in his voice made her laugh, but she couldn't help but share his enthusiasm. Otoya was so full of dramatic emotions and passion… even if he was an idiot at times… and he was completely honest, even if it hurt.
Gently, the fingers left her face and she opened her eyes for a moment, unaware they'd closed. Otoya smiled at her. "You are truly my fated woman." He murmured. "Why else would you have stayed with me… in some fashion for so long?"
Normally, she'd have hit him or something at this point, but instead she got up from the table and walked over to the window, staring outside.
"You're an idiot sometimes." She said, softly. "You're insufferable, over the top, arrogant, dramatic, sometimes thoughtless…" The affection in her eyes warmed his heart. "But you're also caring, honest, charismatic, thoughtful and so full of passion and emotion…"
"And you are beautiful and strong… but you know your weaknesses…" He kissed her hand. "I was in love with you from the moment you threw yourself in my arms." He chuckled.
She laughed and then pressed her lips to his in a gentle kiss.
Otoya's eyes shot open wide, but he pressed her to him in a gentle embrace, enjoying the warm kiss and her presence. He allowed himself a small smile at this turn in events. He'd beaten Jiro and won Yuri's heart.
And if he died right now… he could die the happiest man alive, a symphony playing in his heart.
