You're Christmas Angel
Chapter 10
I don't own GALS I wish I did. Aya and Rei forever!! Okay read on…
The minutes were ticking by until midnight and it was getting colder by the second. After being verbally assulauted by Ran… Rei had a new approach on his dilemma.
Should I take you hand or let it go? I can't take this feeling much more… do I take your hand or let it go? The singer inside wailed.
Great. Did this problem have a theme song now? Rei sighed. I'm not good at commitment and I'm not good at relationships; I'm not good period Aya he had told her that day.
Which way do I go? The singer wailed again. He'd had to walk away because the look on her face practically killed him inside.
.
But tonight he'd been so out of line. He'd caused her so much pain over the years… and made her cry.
He'd all but killed her. He was cold to her and ignored her and often left her standing alone.
Maybe if he just left… she'd never see him again anyway. But he knew that would hurt her more than all the things he had done combined.
"Dammit" he growled.
Inside….
"I've never seen Otohata- Kun looked so troubled before" Aya said sadly. "Don't let it ruin your holiday Aya" Miyu said.
"Aya I just finished talking to Otochi… boy I really let him have it! I told he needed to learn how to treat us GALS and how much he was hurting you".
Aya's eyes widened in alarm. "Did he leave"? "No way he's still outside but he has a lot on his mind right now" Ran said with a strange look.
"About what"? "You'll see" Ran said again with another weird look.
"Will he come back in"? "Yeah he has something to talk to you about". The clock struck 11:30pm.
"Thirty minutes" she hissed at Miyu. Miyu nodded and skipped off somewhere. "Until what"? Aya murmured to herself.
Outside…
I don't know if I can do this... Its eleven thirty. Oh Aya… why can't you just be a mind reader or something?
I have to do it. I must. For Aya. For me. If I don't Ran will kick my- Why am I afraid of a girl?
This is going to be so hard. Maybe I should go back to being like I used to be instead of giving her rides and talking to her.
I can't.
"I hope you still want me the way I want you"… came the music from inside.
"I've got this Ice box where my heart used to be… I'm so cold, I'm so cold I'm so cold I'm so cold"…
"Very funny" he grumbled. Obviously a work of Kotobuki…
"Oh no". It was eleven forty five now. Thinking was very time consuming… Okay go. Now.
He walked inside. "Otochi glad you could make it"! Miyu said smugly. "Aya is upstairs Otochi. You can do it" Ran said with a wink.
He walked down the long dark hallway to the stairs. He took them two steps at a time.
I can do this. All of this mental distress over one Girl… I hope she's wroth it. He swallowed. And knocked on a door where soft music was coming from.
He remembered something from long ago…
Flashback…
"Don't you think that you're a little self centered Rei, you need to condisider Aya's feelings more often" Yuya said as they strolled down the street.
"Her… feelings…" he'd trailed off in shock.
Flashback with in flashback!
"Is it fun for you to embarrass me like this"? Aya said to Ran. "Go on Otochi tell them 'I'm Aya's boyfriend"! Ran chirped.
"They asked you if you were my boyfriend. So how about it"? Rei said. Ran started to say something but Aya cut her off.
"ISN'T MY LIFE ALREADY MESSED UP ENOUGH?! STAY OUT OF IT AND LEAVE ME ALONE"! She had screamed.
He could do nothing but follow her moving form with his eyes as he stood there in shock.
The following was from episode 50 and 51 which was kind of a spoiler but hey it was dramatic.
Thank you veoh video network!!
Present….
The gold knob glistened from the light in the middle of the hall. It would take a gesture a few steps and a few words so he could be rid of this forever!
I can't do that to her…
He imagined of reading the news paper one day and reading about a young girl dying prematurely.
He'd know that it would've been because of him-
"Otohata- Kun"? An angel's voice said. "Doshde no Otohata- Kun"?
He pushed her back into the room and she landed with a soft thud on the edge of the bed. "What are"-
"Listen. Don't speak" he ordered sharply.
She nodded in mute horror or what looked like horror to him. He could see his face in her big brown eyes and he looked livid.
"I'm not going to beat you or anything you know" he added sheepishly as he closed the door.
"When I first met you… I thought you were just another idiotic GAL. But then I got to know you better and I guess I got used to you.
But then Kotobuki told me that you liked me… that I was you're first love".
Aya nodded and clenched her jaw.
So it was Ran!
"I told you that I wasn't good for you but you wouldn't listen. And I guess I was glad. Besides Miyu you're the only okay GAL I know".
Aya blushed.
"Even after the Kotobuki and me rumors you still liked me… and here we are".
"I'm still just as bad as I was before and I just don't know why you"-
Her furious expression cut him short.
"Why do you think of yourself in such a way?! I know that you're kinder that you let on… so why do you put yourself down"? She snapped.
He was shocked. "Gomen- Nasi…" she trailed off shamefully.
"I'm not I'm just simply stating a fact Aya. You should stay away from me… It'll never work" he turned to walk away.
"No"! She yelled suddenly. "No matter how hard you try to get rid of me… no matter how much you put me down and look at other girls or break my heart or even try to leave me… I'm not letting you go!
I will always be by you're side whether you like it or not Otohata- Kun… I love you and there's nothing you cando about it"! She shouted with tears flowing down her face.
Rei stopped to look at her and smirked. "What's so funny"?! She demanded tearfully.
He smirked again.
He closed the distance between them in three quick strides.
Aya almost fainted from the intensity of their kiss.
Wait… they were kissing!! When she realized that she blushed really red.
Even she wasn't prepared for her next move.
Her blood boiled and she crushed herself against him eagerly. Aya could've died and been happy for the rest of eternity.
Suddenly his hands pulled her off of him and she finally noticed her surroundings.
She dropped her head, which was suddenly on a pillow back and gasped. Why was Rei suddenly on top of her?
She blushed.
"What's so funny was that you said my line. I love you too and there's nothing that you can do about it Aya… no matter how many times you run away… and go into depressions and whine about you're grade dropping… no matter how many times I tell you that I'm not good for you.
That day in Odabia I wanted to make you mine so badly I could hardly restrain myself from reaching across that table and making you mine Aya.
I could hardly look at you… when you believed that first love was too heavy for me and that I didn't want you and the way you're tears fell because of me"-
"Don't… I love you the way you are Rei. No matter how much you told me the opposite deep down I always knew that you had feelings for me too"-
She was cut off by another kiss from him.
Much to her dismay he pulled back from her. She blushed again. "I love it when you do that, the way the color stains you're cheeks and floods you're face…"
She clapped her hand over her mouth to cover her smile.
"Don't hide that light from me Aya" he said stroking her hair with his free hand.
She blushed again. "It's kind of funny…" "What"? "The way that you can be so cold and then be so tender to me".
For once he blushed.
Sorry to interrupt but… I didn't know that Rei Otohata had emotions!! Or that he was tender…
Which made Aya blush even redder. "Oh Rei…" she giggled.
He glowered at her. "Shut up".
"What happened to Mr. Tender and sensitive guy"? "He never left… you'd better be glad that he's a sucker for you Aya".
"Tell him I said thanks". "He says you're welcome". Aya giggled. "And he wants to kiss you again".
"Okay then… but don't tell Otohata- Kun… he gets jealous easily" she whispered with a laugh.
"I won't" he promised mockingly.
And he pressed her lips against hers.
Woot! I did it! I'm going to write the epilogue next! Like right now! R and R!
