What's up, my peeps! I know, I know, it's been about 2 1/2 weeks since the last chapter of Into the World, I'm still working on it, but school has just been a lot so these next chapters might be out later than they used to. To make up for it, I'm giving y'all a new oneshot! Now, to explain a bit, I'm not much of a weeb. I've wanted to become one for a long time. I found a way to watch a bunch of animes, and Toradora was in that bunch. This anime blew my mind at how funny, romantic, intriguing, and amazing it was! And now Taiga and Ryuuji are one of my favorite couples! So I decided to give a little to the fandom by making a oneshot of them! If you haven't seen Toradora, you can watch it for free by making an account on VRV! Hope you enjoy my first Toradora oneshot!

Disclaimer: I don't own Toradora!

Spoilers for Toradora if you haven't seen all 25 episodes! So if you haven't watched the anime, go watch it NOW! A very light-hearted romance that pulled me in by the first episode. Also, watch the English dub (that's what I'm using for this oneshot). Your welcome.

Also, if you've seen the whole show you should know what moment this is. It's my favorite in the anime so... :)

Enjoy!

"Taiga-"

"Your eyes are bloodshot. And your breath stinks."

Ryuuji jumped a foot away and covered his mouth, his cheeks a deep crimson. "Shut up!"

Taiga smiled, always knowing how to make him embarrassed. "And your lips are chapped," she continued, "so it's gonna feel weird if we kiss."

Ryuuji, with his hands still over his mouth, and his face now completely red, muttered, "Epic fail..."

"If we kiss, it'll probably hurt," the Palm-Top Tiger thought out loud, looking down, "A lot..."

Ryuuji removed his hands from his face, and took a step towards Taiga. He placed his hands on her shoulders, which were covered by her bed sheet of a veil, and looked into her eyes. He bent down to place a quick peck on her lips, with Taiga complying.

The Dragon looked down, still blushing furiously. "Well... did it?"

"Yeah, a little," Taiga explained, "It's what I expected, like kissing the desert." Ryuuji flinched after she said that before the tsundere continued, "Kinda rough and dry, and also... burning hot."

Ryuuji looked down at her. The moonlight reflecting in her eyes, combined with a light blush grazing her cheeks, and the veil on her head, made her look like an angel to him. That's when he decided to try again.

"We could always try again, if you want..." Taiga trailed off when Ryuuji kissed her again, this time a little longer. She had time to kiss him back before he pulled away.

"...One more time..." Taiga softly ordered.

He kissed her again, the kiss being longer and more passionate as Ryuuji cupped her cheek, their lips melding together perfectly... He pulled away again. Too soon for Taiga.

"...One more..." She commanded again, this time standing on her toes and holding Ryuuji's arm as they had one last kiss. They reluctantly pulled away, gazing into each other eyes...

Until Taiga punched Ryuuji in the stomach.

"Ah! What the hell was that for?" Ryuuji loudly asked, still a little light-headed from the kisses they shared.

Taiga snickered, before toothily grinning at her beloved. "It's been a while since you've had one of those, besides, you deserved it after what you just did."

Ryuuji rolled his eyes. "By what? Kissing you? You were the one who asked for it... clutz..."

Taiga crossed her arms and glared at him. "Don't push it..."

The Dragon groaned, and nodded.

The Tiger sighed in return. "Now..."

Ryuuji looked her in confusion. "What?"

"I want you to hold me."

Ryuuji's eyes widened, and his faded blush now flaring again. "W-what?! H-hold you?"

"Yes, Ryuuji, hold me."

He looked down at the two sleeping mats right next to each other. "You mean... as we fall asleep?"

Taiga groaned, knowing how stupidly awkward he could be. "Yes, you dog. Just shut up, and hold me!"

"Okay, okay..." He lied down on his mat; Taiga lying on hers. Ryuuji put his arms around her small waist, and pulled her into her chest. Taiga turned around so she was facing him, and snuggled closer, her tiny hands gripping his shirt. Ryuuji blushed even more, but smiled, his grip on Taiga tightening.

The Tiger sighed in comfort, before pushing her finger into his cheek like she had done many times before. She then kissed his cheek and whispered, "Goodnight."

Ryuuji's eye widened at the sweet statement when she was just giving him the same physical pain that he had gone through for months from her. But the pain was worth it. Anything for Taiga.

"Goodnight," the Dragon replied before drifting off to sleep next to his beloved.

Guess that's what's it's like... falling in love with a tsundere.

Short, but sweet. I wondered a lot what happened after they kissed because the scene cut to the next day right after, so this was my interpretation of it! Hope you liked my first attempt at writing Toradora! If you guys have some criticism about this story, that would be great! I need improve to become a better writer! Also, if you guys have any romantic animes, or just cool animes in general, tell me in your review! I want to watch as many amazing animes as possible! The ones I've seen so far are: Toradora!, Your lie in April, Kiss Him Not Me, and I'm in the beginnng of Erased. Any other suggestions would be awesome! And yes, the next chapter of Into the World will be out soon! See ya later, my peeps!
