Toshiro began to panic now. "Uh... I meant you think? Heh... yeah." Momo didn't buy it. "You... like me?" Toshiro felt the burn in his chest again. "Well..." Toshiro grabbed his chest. Momo was still surprised. "Toshiro... do you?" Toshiro sighed. "It had to be said sooner or later. I... I'm not sure how to word it. But..." He wanted to kick himself. 'Great. Come on genius! Think!' He's thoughts were interrupted by Momo. She held his hand gently making him blush. She gave him a smile. "Just think and say what you need to. There's no need to rush." Toshiro stared into her brown gentle eyes. He took a deep breathe and began to explain best he could.
"Well, when it's you and me, no scratch that! Whenever I see you, I always feel a burn in my chest at my heart. I feel it even worse when I see you with Renji or Izuru. I don't bring it up because it does go away. Eventually." Momo gave a worried look. "Is that burn... bad?" Toshiro looked at her. "It feels fine when it's just me and you. But when you're with others like Izuru, or Renji, and I see you really happy with them, it really hurts. And it feels uncomfortable." Momo looked in his eyes. She saw confusion and worry, though he would never confess to feeling those. He gently tightend her grip. "That's normal. Toshiro, you do feel that when, well, when someone you value is with other people. It's called jelousy." Toshiro hated that. He hated jelousy. And now he was feeling it. "It's perfectly natural. In all honesty, I feel jelousy too." Toshiro was surprised to hear that. "Momo, what do you have to be jelous of?" Momo bowed her head. "Well, honestly, I'm jelous of you and Rangiku." Toshiro literally gasped in horror at that. "What the hell? Why Momo?"
It was now Momo's turn to explain."Well, it's sort of like your feelings. I feel like butterflies are in my chest and stomach when I see you, when we talk, anything with you! I really value you. And Rangiku is like an older sister type to me. But, when I see you two together, getting along so well and just, being together, I feel a burn near my heart too. I don't want to because that makes me an awful person." Toshiro gently gripped her hand making her blush slightly. "You're not an awful person. You never have been, and you never will. There's no reason to be jelous of us. I value Rangiku as a subordinate and a friend, but not as someone I would love. I care, but I don't love her." Momo smiled a little. "That's how I feel about Rangiku, Izuru and Renji. I care for them, but I don't love them. I love you."
Toshiro's eyes widened as she said that. Momo's did aswell. Clearly she didn't expect to say that. "Momo..." Momo's face was not fully red. "I... I mean..." She then shook her head and looked at him. "I do Toshiro. I'm sorry. I didn't expect to say it this soon but, if I didn't, I probably never would of. I really do love you." Toshiro gave her his best smile. "Silly Momo. Isn't it the boy who's suppose to confess first?" Momo blinked in confusion. "Silly girl. I... I love you too." Momo was filled with happiness when he said that. "Oh Toshiro!" They both smile and then look at eachother. They then cosed their eyes and then brought their faces closer together. "Captian! Momo! Is it ok if I can get something?" Rangiku opened the door and saw the two of them facing away from eachother, boiling with red faces of embarrasment. Rangiku laughed nervously and scratched her head. "Did I come at a bad time?"
