"Muttsulini-kun, I love you!"

My violet eyes widened and my heart begin pounding hard, as if it was trying to make its way out of my chest. I walked into the empty Class F homeroom expecting anything but this. Aiko Kudo loved me?

Aiko took a few breaths after her confession. She nervously fidgeted with her red skirt, pinching and rubbing bits of it. She continued gazing at me, trying to appear confident. She even tried smiling a bit, but her attempted grin would twitch back into a frown ever so often. Her thin athletic legs were shaking a bit; she was probably just barely holding her balance.

I couldn't believe it. Aiko Kudo loved me. She really loved me. After nearly a year of her murderous teasing, I felt like I had never heard of anything crazier in my life. Why would the girl who created fun out of tormenting me love me? But I slowly started to make sense of it.

I started analyzing her behaviors since she had known me. She was always hanging around me, always talking to me, and always teasing me. She was one of very few people who decided to socialize with me, despite my morose and perverse aura. Maybe that air intrigued her, like her confident and happy atmosphere intrigued me. I heard a sniffle, which snapped me back into reality.

Aiko fidgeted with her skirt vigorously, looking down at the ground. I saw sparkling droplets fall from her face and hit the floor. My heart panged at the sight of her devastation. I quickly leaned towards her, trying to look into her teary eyes.

"Deep down, I knew you didn't like me. But I just had to tell you. I couldn't hold it in much longer." She said, with a trembling voice.

I wanted to tell her I loved her. I wanted to tell her I had loved her for half a year. I wanted to tell her that she was beautiful. I wanted to tell her she meant the world to me. But when I opened my mouth, nothing came out. I knew I would somehow say the wrong thing, and I couldn't say anything. However, I wanted to do something. So in the end I decided that if I couldn't tell her I loved her, I'd show her I loved her.

I leaned closer, pressing my lips against hers. Although she was probably surprised, she returned the kiss and wrapped her arms around my shoulders. I nervously wrapped mine around her waist. I wanted the kiss to last forever. But it was just one kiss.

One kiss that would mark the first chapter of our beautiful life together.

The characters are probably a bit OOC, and the story's probably lame. Sorry if that irked you. I wrote this fanfiction about a year ago, but just never decided to actually publish it until now. I pulled it up out of my thousands of computer files today and edited it-a lot (it used to be much shorter). I have some other fanfics I'm working on, but I went ahead and published this one because I was saddened by the lack of Aikota fanfictions lately. Anyway, thank you for reading and please leave a review.
