*~Angel~*
(Part 6)
A.N.- this will (hopefully) be the last chapter of Angel's story. I have found that I am suited better for writing sappy fanfics. Sorry to the supporters of Angel's many chapters but I really do not wish to continue the series. Fewer and fewer people read *~Angel~* with each chapter. Sorry!
Disclaimer: You know the drill. Angel's mine.
Summary: Uh, Trowa is now helping Angel mess with Max. Please R&R! Oh, and some sap. Now, onward and forward!
Angel was a nervous wreck. Today was the first day Trowa was coming to school with her. She wore a normal outfit for once consisting of a knee length blue skirt and a white sleeveless shirt. Her hair was up in a normal ponytail with the usual wisps hanging down but without any kind of dye in it this time. She wore normal white sandals and only wore lip-gloss and some body glitter on her cheeks. She looked nice and plain, to match her "boyfriend." He wore plain beige slacks and a black t-shirt. He wore sneakers and socks and his hair was off to one side like normal. She sighed as she imagined how Max would see this side of her, a hopelessly plain romantic. At least he'd be shocked. Trowa was expected to breeze through class being as old as he was. She grabbed her breakfast bar, grabbed her backpack, threw Trowa his backpack, and pushed him out the door.
Once at school Max came over and just stared. Angel smiled and said,
"Max this is Trowa, Trowa this is Max. Trowa is my boyfriend." She had directed her last remark towards Max. Max gave the expected reaction of shock and wandered away to contemplate this new twist of Angel's personality. Angel beamed at her success and pulled Trowa towards class.
Trowa looked bored all though out class and answered all of his questions correctly. The teacher was amazed at his grasp on the subjects but tried to hide it. Even her toughest questions couldn't stump him. Then lunch came and Trowa was dragged outside to eat his lunch under a nice peaceful weeping willow tree.
Max had been pondering his situation all morning and had also observed the "couple." He had come to the conclusion that Angel had simply talked him into helping her with the dare by posing as her boyfriend. He acted so distant from her that it was hard to miss. Armed with his new conclusion he marched up to the group of friends Angel and Trowa were sitting with and announced,
"You are really something Angel. Talking this guy into posing as your boyfriend. You really will do anything to win this bet won't you?"
Angel sat there stunned. He'd figured it out so quickly that she hadn't been prepared for when he did find out. As a last resort she looked at Trowa with eyes that clearly said, 'I'm in trouble here. Will you do something about it?'
Trowa looked at the look on her face and thought fast. He knew whatever he did would have to be drastic. He also knew that the options open to him were not ones that would make him particularly happy. At least that's what he told himself, deep down the options open to him made him happy and gave him just the right opening he needed. Choosing one of the options he faced Max and said,
"If I wasn't her boyfriend then would I do this?" Seconds later his mouth was clamped over hers in a passionate kiss. He kissed her, and to his surprise, she kissed back. This of course left Max stunned and he wandered away again.
Angel floated through the rest of the day from the sweetness of Trowa's kiss. The kiss had stunned her and Max both, but for her it was a happy kind of stunned.
*~Later that
night~*
Angel crept down the stairs to the living room in hopes of finding Trowa. She had become accustomed to him speaking up from the shadows but it still startled her when he said,
"Shouldn't you be in bed? You've had a big day."
Angel jumped and turned to face the source of the noise. Unable to see him yet she replied to empty air by saying,
"I had to ask you something before I could sleep. Did that kiss mean anything to you? Or was it just so I could confuse Max further? And please, I want an honest answer."
Trowa knew she'd ask eventually. And he thought he was prepared with a firm 'no' but he couldn't get the words past his lips. Instead a quiet and mumbled "Yes" came out in its place. He blinked once at what he just said and waited for a reaction from Angel. He wouldn't come out from his spot amongst the shadows until he knew how she felt. After what seemed like ages she said,
"It meant something to me too. It meant a lot to me actually. Now I have another question, what happens now? Will we just act like it never happened? What? Please tell me Trowa, I need to know."
He couldn't see her face but he could hear the pleading in her voice. He pondered the question until he reached a suitable answer. Stepping out from the shadows he silently walked towards her and caught her off guard as he wrapped his arms around her and whispered,
"How about me becoming your real boyfriend? Does that suit you well?"
With her only response being a slight nod he smiled for the first time in a long time. To seal the decision he tilted her head up, looked into her eyes with unmatched intensity, and kissed her long and hard. It was now official, they were boyfriend and girlfriend.
*~Mini Epilogue~*
Not soon after Angel and Trowa admitted that they loved each other and got married. Now, some six years later, Angel and Trowa are the proud parents of Catherine their one-year-old daughter named for Trowa's sister.
