"Do you love me?"
Pai gave her a very confused expression as he sat up abruptly.
"What do you mean?"
Retasu blushed and looked away, brushing some stray hairs away from her face.
"Do you love me?"
She repeated as her eyes wandered around the dark room, attempting to look at anything but him, not wanting to turn scarlet. He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms against his bare chest.
"You wait until now to ask me?"
He growled as Retasu nervously twisted her hair around her finger.
"Well… I wasn't sure what I would do if you said no…"
She whispered shyly as Pai sighed in exasperation.
"Do you take me for some sort of sex fiend?"
He asked accusingly as she blushed again.
"Well… no… I just wanted my first time to be with someone who I knew loved me…"
She said as he eyed her curiously.
"Yet you made love to me despite the fact that you were uncertain as to if I were in love with you?"
Retasu frowned and crossed her arms as well.
"Well… yeah… I guess I did…"
She turned to him, licking her lips slightly.
"Well… um… do you…?"
Pai's lips curled into an uncharacteristically sincere smile as he shifted his body to face her directly. She found the sounds of the sheets rustling oddly comforting.
"Yes."
She felt her face heat up again as he leaned forward, cupping her chin in his hand as he did so. She closed her eyes as his lips gently met hers, her heart pounding against her chest.
As he slowly pulled away Retasu opened her eyes again, locking her gaze with his.
"I love you too."
I don't know why I wrote this.
I guess I just needed some fluff that wouldn't get me shunned. :(
