Thanks so much to those who reviewed.

As for this chapter, be ready for some major affection. Remember, Domon just had his first kiss and he quite liked it. To me in the beginning of a new relationship with somene you're really in love with, it's so exciting as you're not thinking straight just after that first kiss with each other, especially when you know that the other person feels the same way you do.

Chapter 3: Shyness Dimming Away

For privacy, Domon and Rain were both under his red cloak, locked in a very passionate kiss. Their kiss continued as the Ferris wheel went around and around. For being as strong as the King of Hearts was, the love in Rain's kiss had over powered him making him fall completely under her control. He now knew that a kiss; especially one with her, had definitely been worth the wait. Little did he know that she too felt as if she was putty in his hands. She almost feared she'd go up in flames from what he was causing her to feel. Then suddenly, the jolt of the ride coming to an abrupt stop made them reluctantly break apart.

With his left hand, Domon slowly lifted his cloak from off their heads making sure to keep his right arm around the blue-eyed beauty. After very briefly glancing down to make sure that everything below was okay, Domon saw people getting on to the Ferris wheel. Now knowing why it had stopped, he faced Rain and smiled at her just before pulling her back into both of his arms so he could take in the feel of her body against his once again. He felt blessed that he had shared such a kiss with her, and he knew that kiss was just the first of many more for them. He was finally going to welcome happiness with open arms and show Rain in words and actions how indeed important she was to him. It wasn't a guessing game of wondering how the other felt anymore. Keeping his right arm securely around her, he released her just enough so that he could look into her eyes. Even though it was dark out, he could still see the desire in her big blues for him. Leaning his forehead to hers, he smiled his cocky grin thinking of their kiss as he then rubbed the tip of his nose on hers. Following that, he kissed her lips softly once again to feel their softness.

Rain felt somewhat dazed by his sweet and tender actions. This was truly a new side of Domon that she could get used to. Her hands moved to rest on his hard chest as she looked deep into his dark, loving eyes as if he was truly her knight and shining armor. For their kiss had been breathtaking; making her feel as if she had been floating on a cloud. She had often dreamt of what a kiss with him would be like, and it had been even better than she could have ever imagined. She now knew that he could love as strong as he could fight because of the passion he had just unleashed on her. In the back of her mind she also knew that he had been the one man that she had always wanted. Though she had never told him before, as a child she had sometimes pretended that he was her husband and she his wife as they played together. Years later while he was gone training with Master Asia, she had dreamt of what Domon would be like when he returned. Now, here he was an incredibly, strong, confident man in love with her.

As if reading her mind, Domon couldn't help but smile as he too thought of a much younger Rain as his best friend. He remembered the little girl she was when he left to train. When he came back as a man, he found that she had blossomed into a beautiful, and very smart woman. She didn't know that he now also thought of her as being pretty tough as well for the times she dared to do or stand up for what was right. After all, she had even accomplished piloting a gundam more than once. Because of all the special things about her, he knew that she could easily be the object of any man's desire, but he'd make sure that she was his and his alone forever.

"Domon," she whispered never wanting this moment of their closeness to end.She absolutely loved the affection she saw in his eyes and the way he was making her feel.

"Yes," he answered as he watched her happily glance up into the dark sky at the stars for a second or two.

Blushing a bit, Rain brought her eyes back to Domon's and said softly, "It's just that, that kiss was so...incredible."

Not able to stop himself from touching her some more, his left hand lifted to her face and then gently pushed her hair behind her ear as he thought with a smile, Man, I've always wanted to be able to touch you this way, Rain. That hand then slowly glided down over her cheek, down to her shoulder and then down her slim arm as he leaned and boldly whispered into her ear, "If you thought that kiss was incredible, that was just the beginning for us." He then kissed her softly on her cheek.

His touch and his words together sent chills through Rain's body making her wonder if their kiss had given him this confidence to easily express his love for her now. With that thought, she leaned to him and returned a soft kiss on his cheek.

As if it was his turn, he moved forward and kissed her other cheek. Backing only slightly away from her, he said with a grin as his hand now caressed that cheek, "It's almost a shame we never kissed like this sooner."

Rain's heart pounded as she kidded softly, "If we would have kissed a lot sooner, we probably would have never prepared for any of the Gundam Fights."

Domon let out a small chuckle knowing just what she meant and said, "Yes, I think I would have been…kissing on you instead of training."

Rain felt her face flush at the thought of them not being able to keep their hands off of each other. "I guess it worked out for the best that we got to know each other again after our ten years apart, before we showed each other how we feel."

"And now we do know each other better than anyone else does," Domon said thinking of all the time they had spent together this past year. Suddenly a smirk appeared on his face and he said, "I think you should know that sometimes I even had fun arguing with you."

"Oh, I'm glad you enjoyed that," she said pretending to be upset, but she had failed to convince him that she really was because of the uncontrollable smile growing on her face.

Remembering some of his harsh words towards her in the past, he became serious and said, "For all the stupid things I've ever said, I'll make it up to you."

"You weren't all that bad Domon Kasshu," she said with very forgiving eyes. She fondly remembered how he had taken care of her in the Guyana Highlands when she was sick. He had been very gentle and kind and also assisted her in repairing the Shining Gundam.

"I just never believed that I could ever feel this way," he said suddenly looking shy and then turning to look into the dark sky. "Love was something I never thought of for the ten years that I was training with Master Asia. Once back, I ended up being so wrapped up in wanting to defeat the Dark Gundam that I tried to ignore these feelings that I had begun to have for you."

Rain put her hand on Domon's face and gentle turned him back to her so she could look into his eyes, "Oh, Domon. I knew you were very...stressed out, especially because of all the people you lost. That's why most of time I was able to be patient with you. Plus, I know at times that I must have drove you crazy being that I am a doctor."

Becoming amused at some of the memories, Domon said, "When I was hurt, I think you enjoyed popping pills into my mouth before I knew that they were coming. I don't know how I didn't seriously choke on any of them."

"I was just taking care of you," she said with an innocent smile and a glimmer in her eyes. "That's what doctors do. Your body needed the medicine to get better," she said as both of her hands tugged on the collar of his shirt for emphasis.

Being mischievous, Domon asked, "So, you were only taking care of me as a doctor? No personal feelings were involved then?"

As a result from all of their very recent kissing and touching, Rain was in a flirty mood as she said, "Being a doctor was a very good excuse for me to touch your body."

The King of Heart's eyes widened as he felt an uncontrollable blush. Was this his Rain speaking this way?

Rain too blushed and let go of his collar to cover her mouth with both of her hands. "I can't believe I just said that," she said sounding very embarrassed as she brought her hands away from her face and hugged herself. "I don't want your body. No, I mean...I do. Oh, shoot," she said turning away from a speechless Domon. "It's just that you have always been quite...appealing to me in that tight, fight suit." She didn't know what was coming over her to say such things, but she guessed that his kiss had driven her out of her mind. Needing to correct herself, she turned back to him still hugging herself and said as calmly as she could, "Just don't think that I love you because of your body. It's much more than that. I'll always love you even if you... let yourself go."

At that comment, Domon couldn't help but laugh and then Rain too joined him. "Well," he soon said in a somewhat husky voice, "You should know that I find your body quite…appealing as well. And as for my body, it's all yours."

This time Rain didn't get embarrassed and with a smile she looked him dead straight in the eyes and said, "I'm all yours too."

Amazed that she wanted him, Domon then said, "I'm lucky." With a smile, he added, "Your body's just a bonus to all of your other qualities."

Grabbing his collar again, Rain said clearly blown away, "I can't believe the things that we are saying to each other."

"And to think that I wasn't sure how you felt this past year and all the time you secretly wanted my body," he joked with her.

"Let's change the subject," she said trying not to laugh. She knew in her heart that their love was much stronger than just a physical attraction.

"No problem," Domon said as he leaned closer to her to hush their conversation as she had suggested. Both of their hearts raced as their lips touched again for a tender kiss. It wasn't as long as the first, but it was just as sweet. When Domon backed away from her, he said very seriously, "I should have kissed you the morning of the finals." He remembered that he had been so tempted to, but too nervous all at the same time.

Rain would never forget speaking to him that day under that tree and how they held each other.

"That really was when I first wanted to tell you that I love you," Domon said gazing into her eyes.

"Oh, Domon," she whispered as her fingers traveled to his face and one very close to his lips. He kissed that finger and Rain soon found herself burying her hands in his hair. "I can't believe this is us," she said so pleased to be able to touch him this way.

Domon's hands traveled over her small back as he grinned and said, "I don't think I'll ever be able to keep my hands off of you now."

"Are you sure that we're not dreaming?" she asked loving this tender side of him and how it made her feel.

"If we are, I don't want to wake up," he said truthfully not wanting to lose this very open affection between them - that he would only show towards her.

Rain laughed lightly and said, "Well if we are dreaming, when you wake up don't hide your feelings like you used to and just kiss me."

"Same for you," Domon said raising an eyebrow as the ride began to move again.

Disappointed, Rain rolled her eyes because she didn't want the moment to end. "It looks like we're finally moving."

"Yes. We're finally moving forward into the future together as it should be," he said very seriously not thinking of the ride at all.

Once to the ground, Domon stood up and held his hand out to take Rain's. With a smile she took it and let him pull her up. Automatically his arm then went around her shoulders and hers around his waist as they finally left the ride where their first kiss had taken place.
