Disclaimer: I do not own any of Rumiko Takahashi's characters, which means everyone mentioned here. I do not own the song "Eventually" by Pink from the album Missundaztood. I am not making any money. At all. From anything. Gah.
Song lyrics are in italic.
*Ranma's POV*
He looked down at the woman in his arms. He had been wrong all those years ago. Not everybody was playing the game. Some of them were for real.
She smiled up at him. Far from making him feel angry, this smile made him happy because it said that she was happy. That she loved him.
It had taken a while. They hadn't broken him, but they had broken his ability to trust. He had been wary of her for a very long time. He had been afraid, afraid that what she was offering was a lie. But it wasn't and as she continued to be there, to offer him her friendship and eventually her love, she had convinced him.
He smiled back and her and hugged her to him.
*Kasumi's POV*
Kasumi Saotome reveled in the warmth of her husband. Since their daughter had been born, they had had very little time to themselves. She treasured every moment. She loved him so much.
She remembered when she had started down this path. To think that one little poem could start so much...she looked up at her husband and smiled. He smiled back at her.
You'll get yours eventuallyAN:
It has always seemed to me that Ranma and Kasumi have some major things in common, and that that might be a good reason for a relationship. This ficlet was born because I wanted to write something for this song, and when I looked at it, I realized I saw elements of both Ranma and Kasumi in it. Someday, if I find inspiration, I may write the middle of this. Y'know, the way the relationship begins and evolves. But for now, all I have is the beginning and the end. Not enough to satisfy an English teacher, but then, most of the English teachers (although not all) wouldn't particularly like any song-fic either. Shrug.
