Accident ch.7

It had been 3 days since Otohata had tried to tell Aya that he liked her. He had been pretty silent since then.

"Otohata are you mad at me"? Aya asked. He looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Why would I be mad at you"? he asked.

"You haven't said three words to me since three days ago. I understand if you're bored with me and you can go home if you want to" she said and the tears came.

"Aya" Otohata began. "I know I've bored you and I know that Ran's problay more fun to be with"-

"Aya I never said that I didn't want to be here" he said getting slightly annoyed. "Then why won't you talk to me"?

"Why don't we go somewhere more private to talk"? he asked suddenly. "Okay" she said.

Rei tossed her into a wheel chair and wheeled her outside. It was an overcast day and Aya was sure it was going to rain.

"Aya I don't really know if I want to tell you this" Rei said. He put his shaking hands in his pocket.

Aya's heart lurched. She knew what he was going to say. I'm bored here and I can't stand it here another minute, Aya.

The tears came again and she began to cry. For once Rei wanted to run and hide forever. "Aya what I was trying to say was"- "Why would you want to leave me"? She demanded angrily through her tears.

"I don't want to leave you" he said just as the first of the rain began to fall. "We should go back in" Aya said.

"No I want to tell you before we go inside" he said. The rain pored harder. Reis perfect brown hair was plastered to his forehead.

He knelt down beside her. "Aya the reason I haven't been talking is that…. This is just too damn hard" he said.

"I knew it" Aya whispred. "This has to stop, this crush of yours I'm not good at commitment"…… she heard him say in her mind.

A tear fell. He wiped it from her face. "Don't cry" he said. She embraced him tightly. "Don't abandon me" she whispered.

"I know that I haven't been the nicest person to you and I know I've turned you down a lot but"-

"Please" she whispred. "I know that I'm not the best at commitment and I can be cold a lot" he barreled forward.

She hugged him tighter. By now the two were soaked and chilled to the bone. "What I want to tell you is that I"-

"You know I'm getting really cold" Aya said sneezing. "I think that you can tell me in"- she began but she was stopped.

What Otohata did next even shocked him self. He grabbed her and pulled her to him. "Rei what are you doing"? She asked.

"Shut up" he said. And then he placed his lips on hers. At that instant Aya didn't give two craps about the rain.

Nothing else mattered but this moment with Rei. If the world stopped turning then they wouldn't have noticed.

She returned the kiss and pulled him closer to her. "What on earth"? Said a voice. It was none other than Ran.

She was as scared as hell! Why were Aya and Rei making out? This had to be a dream. She gripped her umbrella tighter and tried to shake the image out of her head.

"Gag! Get a room" she shouted. They quickly broke apart and looked up. "Hi Ran" Aya said feebly.

"Ugh! That's so nasty" she said again. "Shut up! This has nothing to do with you" Rei snarled.

"I'll be upstairs then" she said hurrying out of the rain. "Moron" she called behind her.

"Achoo"! Aya sneezed in Rei's face. "Hey watch it" Rei sniffled from his spot at her bedside.

"Dorry" she said blowing her nose. "The rain sucks" Rei sulked sneezing again. "Well if you wouldn't have decided to kiss me in the rain we wouldn't be sick" she said.

He scowled at her and threw a tissue at her. "I told you guys that you would get sick" Ran taunted.

"Shut up" Rei and Aya said together. Ran rolled her eyes. These two were getting a little TOO alike.

"So since you two were…. Well you know does this mean that you're lovey dovey"? Ran asked evilly.

Aya face turned scarlet. Just then Miyu and Yamato bustled into the room. "Hello Aya" Miyu said.

"Hello" she said waving a little. "Oh my happened to poor Rei"? She asked taking in his sickly appearance.

He sneezed. "He was out in the rain with Aya" Ran said with a teasing tone earning a smack from Aya.

Aya ran her newly uncasted arms through Rei's hair. He was sound asleep. Now he spent his nights with her at the hospital.

She sat up the best she could without hurting her broken leg and wrapped her arms around his sleeping form.

"I love you" she whispered, instantly regretting it. What if he had heard? Get it together Aya!

One kiss and now you think that you're going steady! She thought to herself. Maybe she should just forget that it ever happened.

"Aitsu ga boku naka Ni"……… Aya sang along with the radio. Rei scowled. "What's wrong"? Aya asked.

"I still haven't told you yet" he said frowning. "We don't have to go out in the rain do we"? Aya asked.

"Not if you don't want to" he said with a small smile. "I just wanted to say that I really"- he turned red.

"Rei what's wrong why are you all red"? Aya asked turning a bit pink herself. He hid his shaking hands under her tray table.

He took a deep breath. "Just do it chicken head"! A Ran like voice said in Otohata's head. He winced.

He smoothed his hair back. "I wanted to say that I well, I um, Iloveyou" he said. "Huh"? Aya asked puzzled.

"Okay lookit" he began. "I've tried to be romantic about this and I suck okay"? "What"? "I just wanna say that I…. I".

"Just spit it out I'll listen to anything that you say" Aya said soothingly. He sat down on her bed and pulled her into his embrace.

"I love you" he whispered. "Oh Rei" Aya said pulling away. "You don't mean that, I'm just a clumsy nerd" she said sadly.

"Moron you are the exact opposite of that". "Don't"… "You're beautiful, you make me laugh and I love being with you" he said.

She hid her smile behind her hands. "Don't hide that light from the world". Nice one Rei.

Retard. That sucked! So instead of saying anything else sappy he kissed her quickly. She gasped from shock.

Now this all of a sudden. It seemed like a dream and she feared that she would wake up. She hugged him closer to her and he stroked her hair.

Ezuka stared at them unblinkingly. Gosh where were his manners? His mother had taught him better!

Aya's face felt like it was on fire and she clutched Rei tighter and he returned the embrace.

When broke apart they were gasping for air. "Wow" Aya said. Rei was actually blushing. She ran her hand through his hair.

The nurse walked into the room to check on Ezuka and smiled. Ah, young love. She blushed when Aya tremblingly laid her lips on his again.

"I love you too" she murmured against his warm soft lips. He pushed her hair out of her eyes.

"Oh Aya" he said taking her hands in his. "Does this mean were official"? "Do you want to be? Remember that I suck at"-

"I don't care I just want you" she said. He pulled her closer. "Okay then" he said. "Aya and Rei sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g" Ran taunted.

"Ran stop teasing them" Yuya said. "Besides I kiss you all the time" he said making her blush.

That crack earned him a smack from Ran. "You're so embossing you baka"! She howled.
