The Day I Said I Loved Her Pt. 2
"It was only a joke okay." Asuka said.
"What do you mean "it was a joke"? You seem to like toying with peoples emotions, don't you?"
"I'm sorry Matsuo; I thought you would think it was funny."
"Why would I think it was funny?"
"I don't know."
"I mean, Asuka, I love you but." [If she had bunny ears right now, they would probably be standing straight up]
I did not just say that right now.
"You, you, love me?"
"No, no I said, uh."
"You do love me don't you? Ha! I knew it! You actually think you have a chance with me don't you? Ha, ha! That is so pathetic!"
"See this is how you see love, as some kind of a joke!"
"It's a joke whenever you say it."
"Oh yeah you're one to talk. Every time you joke about it you laugh in my face! But deep down I know you love me. You're just too scared to show it."
"How the hell can I, Asuka Langley Sohryu, love some stupid freak?" [Tears were streaming down her face now; you could almost feel the denial in her heart. The old Matsuo would have comforted her but the new one wouldn't give her sympathy. Anyways I had a plan.] "Stop crying." I said. [Oh, now she was pissed.]
"How dare you! I'll stop crying whenever I want."
"So you're crying by choice are you?"
"No, that's not what I meant, I"
"Then what did you mean?" [She was silent.]
"Asuka, you can always talk to me about anything you want. Remember that okay?"
"Matsuo-chan."
"Did I just hear what I thought I heard? Did you just call me Matsuo-chan?" [Once again she grew silent. As fast as she had said it she once again wrapped her arms around me. But no tears came. I looked down and a big smile spread across her face.]
"I love you Matsuo."
"I love you too Asuka-chan." [We both leaned in at the exact same moment. Halfway we met in the most passionate kiss. After a few seconds we released each others lips on account of the lack of air. We just stood there hugging for what seemed like hours. Finally she spoke.]
"There better be a gun in your pocket."
"It was only a joke okay." Asuka said.
"What do you mean "it was a joke"? You seem to like toying with peoples emotions, don't you?"
"I'm sorry Matsuo; I thought you would think it was funny."
