"Inside Her Heart"

By: HMgirlKristi

One Shot!

Summary: Lettuce finally expresses her feelings to Ryou.

Does Ryou feel the same? Sardon will do the disclaimer.

Sardon: Why should I?

Me: You won't be in this fiction because you'll be dead at the

Beginning if you don't shut up!

Sardon: HMgirlKristi does not own TMM/MMP.

Lettuce's POV

I let a small sigh escape my lips. 'Today is the day that I finally tell him! No backing out

This time!' That's right. I'm in love with Ryou. Ichigo and Kish married and have two

Kids, a boy and a girl each, Mint and Pie got married and have one boy, Pudding and

Tart just got married, and Zakuro and Keiichiro are engaged. Masaya had died in vain

When Ichigo refused him and then Ryou killed him for trying to lay his fingers on me.

We still work at the Café and let the kids play around in the back because Kish watches

Them. I stay behind and work on my project of how I'm going to do it. I'm in the

Changing room as Ichigo is making a fuss over me for only two minutes. A minute later

I came out from the room and started to walk to the park. I'm looking around the lake and

Take a seat on the park bench. My hair had been let out of my braids as I shook my head

Slightly about my feelings for Ryou. 'I did it again and missed my opportunity. Lettuce,

You have to quit being chicken.'

"Something on your mind tonight Lettuce?"

I look as Ryou sat beside me.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Your expression seems to betray you a lot."

"It's just that everytime I try to express my feelings it seems that something is holding me

Back or pulling me away from how I feel."

"I feel the same way."

"You mean when you want to tell someone you love them and you'd feel afraid of

Rejection so you just keep to yourself because you don't want to feel the pain of

Rejection."

"Yeah."

"Something we seem to have in common Ryou."

Ryou smiled then started laughing out loud.

"I remember when Ichigo and Kish kissed in front of Masaya and he fell on the floor face

First!"

I laughed a little bit because I remember that.

"That was funny and then when he got up, he fell again after Mint tripped him up!"

Ryou and I doubled over laughing hard.

"Then Pie shoved herbal tea down his pants!"

I was laughing really hard.

"Then Pudding threw an Apple pie and it hit his face!"

Ryou hacked up another round of laughter.

"After Tart push him on to the table!"

"Then Ichigo and Kish stood him up and tripped him over as he fell on the ground

Again!"

"While Keiichiro got out the video camera!"

"And Zakuro used a digital camera!"

Then we spoke in unison.

"As they took a picture of the whole thing and sent it to Tokyo's Funniest Videos!"

"And sold the pictures on e-bay!"

"After winning the ten thousand yen!"

It took us a good long while to calm down. Then after that is when I finally got the

Courage and looked into Ryou's eyes.

"I love you Ryou."

Ryou smiled and wrapped his arm around me.

"I love you too Lettuce."

The End

There ya go! Short, fluff, and crappy! I apologize and my muse is on vacation!

Mint: Read and leave a nice Review or I won't be so nice to you!
