Urd: Damn when will all this stop?
Urd and Skuld was huddled together with blankets trying to stay warm. While Keichi had blankets on him while leaning against the wall. Belldandy was is the kitchen making some tea for them, while humming a soft tune to herself.
Keichi: Need any help Belldandy?
Belldandy: No, I got it, thank you.
Belldandy walked back in with four cups and the tea kettle. Belldandy gave some tea to Urd and Skuld and then sat down next to Keichi to try to kind the warmth that she had lost while in the kitchen.
Belldandy: Do you like it? Its not too bitter is it?
Keichi: No, not at all. Everything that you make for me taste great.
Belldandy blushed at the comment.
Belldandy: Thank-you. It's a joy to make anything for you Keichi-san.
Belldandy scooted closer to Keichi and leaned her head against his shoulder. She closed her eyes and smiled at the thought of being so close to the person that she loved. Keichi was about to put his arm around her but Skuld interrupted their little moment after realizing what was going on.
Skuld: Don't you touch my sister Keichi!! I know what your trying to do!
Urd gave her a nudge telling her to can it.
After they had finished their tea, Urd decided that it was time for her and Skuld to go to bed.
Urd: Come on Skuld its time for bed.
Skuld: But I'm not even sleepy! Why should I...
Urd shot her an evil glare. Skuld got the point to shut up.
Urd: Goodnight Belldandy and Keichi.
Belldandy: Goodnight you two and sweet dreams.
Urd gave an evil wink to Keichi before she left the room.
What was that for? Keichi thought. Not really caring, he turned his attention back to the goddess in his arms.
Belldandy and Keichi just sat there for a couple of minutes not really knowing what to say. Belldandy shivered after filling a draft go through the blanket that they had wrapped around them.
Keichi: Still cold Belldandy?
Belldandy: Yes a little.
Keichi: Well then let me go get some more blankets or I bet Urd has a potion that could warm you up. It'll only take a sec...
Belldandy: No that's alright, all I need is you.
Belldandy leaned more into Keichi's arms trying to find what warmth she could.
Keichi blushed as he felt her move closer to him.
Keichi looked down at the goddess, no the woman which he loved. I love you so much he thought. Just why can't I ever say that I do. Belldandy doesn't deserve a man that can't even say the fillings that he has to the person which he loves. I wonder if she even loves me back?
Belldandy noticed Keichi looking at her and blushed as Keichi unknowingly gazed into Belldandy's soft blue eyes.
Belldandy: What is it Keichi-san? You can tell me anything.
Keichi, realizing what he was doing blushed and looked away breaking eye contact with her.
Keichi: I...uh...oh nothing really. (Keichi cursed himself for not saying it)
Keichi quickly tried to changed the subject.
Keichi: Well It's getting late and snow or no snow, I'm sure that classes will go on tomorrow.
Keichi started to get up but Belldandy reached and grabbed his arm stopping him at mid stance.
Belldandy: Um, if its alright with you...that is, could I sleep with you tonight?
Belldandy looked down trying to hide the blush that formed on her cheeks.
Keichi: Oh, sure that's fine. We would probably stay warmer that way too.
Belldandy's blush darkened even more as well as Keichi's after he realized what he had said.
Keichi: The only heaters that works, is in here and Urd's room. So I guess we will just have to sleep on the couch tonight.
Belldandy: Ok! (Inside Belldandy was all too happy that Keichi had let her sleep with him for tonight.)
Keichi laid down first and then moved over so Belldandy could also lay down. Belldandy's back was to Keichi and his arm was under her head. After that, they covered themselves with all the blankets that they had with them.
Keichi: Comfortable yet?
Belldandy: Mmm, yes, thank-you.
After a moment of laying there, Belldandy turned to face Keichi.
Belldandy: Do...do you think of me as a burden for you? (Belldandy said with a saddened expression on her face.)
Keichi was stunned at the question, but he defiantly knew what the answer was.
Keichi: No, not at all. Ever since you came to grant me my wish, I fell in love with you. It has been nothing but pure joy living with you since you have came into my life. With out you my life would have no meaning Belldandy. I love you, with all my heart.
Belldandy started to cry tears of joy at the words that Keichi had said to her. She put her hand on his cheek and kissed him.
Belldandy: Oh, thank-you Keichi-sam. I love you so much.
Belldandy and Keichi laid there cradled in each others arms just listening to each others breathing, their love combining them together as one . Finally they fell asleep in each other's arms knowing that nothing could separate them from each other.
