He thinks he's so cool

Chapter 6

Disclaimer: I don't own…

            All right. I said it and I meant it and I can't take it back. I'm not even sure if I'd want to now. Ugh…I should have known. All the signs were here. I should have known that I never hated him, that I secretly wanted him. I'm such a fool. But now its been said. I've put those three little words out there and there's no way to get them back.

             We are sitting at a little café Michi and I love. He's scanning the manga he bought for me and saying something or another. I'm too busy thinking to catch it. Them, I see his hand coming at me quickly and he flicks my nose. "Hey! Why'd you do that?" I growl. He's amused. "You weren't listening, Ru." Ru? I arch an eyebrow at that name and give my best skeptical look. "Well, what were you saying?" "Oh, I was just saying I love you, too."

            I groan. This again!? I stand to leave, highly irked. I start to walk away and he follows. He's walking by my side, entwining his hand in mine. "Is there something wrong?" "Tisk, you've said you love me about twenty times since I made the slip." I arrive at my car and he gets into the passenger seat. Before I can turn the ignition, he takes the keys from my hand and sighs, " I wish you wouldn't call it that. Won't you be happy with me?" I sigh as he runs his fingers through my hair and kisses my jaw. I force the keys out of his grasp and head home.

            Michi insists he stay with us. I just finished preparing his room down the hall from our own. I watch Michi brush her hair and try to forget about today. It almost works. "Ruka, why did it take so long for Trowa-kun to come back?" I then realize I hadn't even asked him yet.

            I run out of our room and down the hall barging into his room…where he stands toweling himself off from a shower…completely nude. I'm sure I "Eep!" and slam the door shut. With my back pressed against it, I slide down and press my knees to my chest. I'd never…I'd never seen a naked man before. He was…

            Before I can finish my thought, he opens the door and I fall back. I lay looking up at him and he kisses my forehead. "Looking for me?" I stand up and shove him into the room, closing the door behind us. He's smiling. "What took you so long to return to me!?" He's not smiling. "I was waiting for you to bring that up. Tell me, Ru, what do you know about this recent war?"
