Loves Worth Waiting For

Yurita, One shot. This is my first fanfiction! Please review, I'm always trying to improve! All reviews are welcomed and appreciated! Well, I hope you like it! :) No flames please.

Disclaimer: I don't own Tales of Vesperia, because if I did, Rita and Yuri would be a canon pairing.

Yuri's POV

I sat down at Rita's front doorstep. Just waiting. I don't quite know what I was waiting for. She had refused to let me in, because apparently I was disturbing her work. But there was one thing I knew for certain. I wasn't leaving without seeing her.

There was something about her that just made my heart beat uncontrollably. Sometimes I would risk touching her shoulder, or even holding her hand. More times than not, it would end up with me being slapped or being hit by multiple fire balls. But every time it just makes me smile and want her even more. Even though I know she doesn't have the same feelings for me as I do for her, I'm not going to give her up that easily. No way in hell.

I began stand up as the young mage opens the door.

"Will you ever just give up?" Rita scowls. She clearly didn't want visitors. Or maybe she just didn't want me?

"I- " She interrupted my speech

"Just come in before I change my mind."

We headed inside, just as it starts to rain. Although that doesn't change a thing. I would have continued to wait, even if that meant getting soaked.

"Why did you come?" Rita said, half sarcastic half genuine.

"Isn't wanting to see you reason enough?" I truly just wanted to see her. But Rita being Rita, she will not settle for a regular answer. I knew I had made a mistake by saying this.

"Damn it, Yuri! I'm not an idiot! Just spit it out already!" I was dead on. I guess my answer wasn't "logical" enough.

She pushes me unexpectedly up against the wall. It's clear she won't let me leave until I tell her. I put my leg behind hers and I quickly spin her around, so now I'm trapping her. Perfect.

"Let me go!" She squeals. She usually hates our little banters, but I can clearly tell she was enjoying this one. A cherry red blush covers her face.

"You wanted me to tell you my reason for being here. I love you. That's all I wanted to say." Rita's eyes widen. A big grin was on my face.

The fun had just begun.

"Y-Y-Yuri… I-"

I silence her by a kiss to the lips. Her eyes are still wide in disbelief. She doesn't kiss back. I hope she is just in shock. I pull back, and I small smile goes across her petite face. Without warning, I quickly lift her up by her waist. She circles her legs around my waist. Our eyes beamed at each others. I was content just as it was, but Rita wasn't. She kissed me as she fondled with my hair. Her kisses were sweet and sour, just like Rita. She drew back.

"Yuri? I love you too."

I grin and think to myself, this love is worth waiting for.

Fin.
