Shuffle Challenge: Skip Beat!

Shocked.

"Thank you, Kyoko." Ren sighed as he fell back to sleep, leaving a speechless Kyoko standing over him. It wasn't the first time he had said something like this, the last time he was sick he also said it. Kyoko reminded herself getting to her feet shakily.

But last time Kyoko hadn't felt this way about him, her heart had still been locked tightly away in her chest, a thick wall protecting it from his words. Now, there wasn't any wall to stop them from pricing her heart, making her confused.

She knew that Ren couldn't possible love her, not when she was such a disappointment to him, she was always reacting to things she shouldn't and lately she had been getting her hopes up. She had been taking everything he said to heart and it was making her crazy. She couldn't tell him how she felt, she couldn't stand being rejected again, and not when she loved him so much more then she had ever loved Sho. She couldn't bare it if he hated her.

She sighed, looking back at him before she left his bedroom. "I love you Ren." She whispered, closing the door behind her.

Ren shot up in his bed, looking at the door. "Kyoko? Kyoko!"'

"What?" Kyoko asked running back into the room face flushed red. "What's wrong?" she asked moving to the side of his bed.

"What did you just say?" he asked eyes feverish. Ren could feel a new hope blooming in his chest, had she really said it or was it his fever playing tricks on him?

"I—"

"I thought I heard you say you loved me?"

Kyoko blushed, "I… I mean—well I." Kyoko sighed. "What do you want me to have said Tsuruga-san?"

He reached out for her hand, gripping it softly. "Will you say it again?" he whispered.

"I love you Ren." She said quietly.

"Say it again. I couldn't hear." He said smiling, his heart bursting in his chest.

"No!" Kyoko said her face red as a tomato. Ren chuckled pulling her down towards him. "I love you too Kyoko." She gasped, her eyes shining.

"Kiss me."

"Ok." She whispered.
