Forbidden Love!
Chapter 5: Dark Secrets Revealed: Yoh's P.O.V
I sat on a chair in the kitchen, sulking that all my hard work had gone missing.
'Maybe… maybe it was Ren. Maybe he read it and- and wont come near me ever again.'
I sighed rather loudly, hoping Horo, Ryu, Lyserg and Margaret would return from the barn soon so that they could help me look.
'That's a stupid thing to think anyway. Thinking that Ren took it? No way.'
I stood up as a figure appeared in the door way.
"Ren… hi…" I said uneasily.
My eyes widened as I caught sight of the paper in his hand.
"We need to talk." Said Ren, his words firm and confident.
Those words hurt me. It was as if someone had ripped out my heart and stomped on it.
"Ren- I-I'm-Its not what you think!"
"Shut up."
I looked at Ren, his face so serious and sure.
I was shocked when he moved closer to me, inches away from my face, then our lips merged.
I was the first to brake the kiss.
"I-I don't understand. I thought-" Ren cut me off.
"You thought what? That I didn't feel the same way? That I would completely reject you and find you weird? …I thought that too when I realized my feelings towards you."
"But how? Why?" I asked.
"I've had these feeling inside of me for a long time, and your little poem proved that you wouldn't reject me." Ren locked his arms around me and pulled me closer for another kiss, dropping the peace of paper onto the floor.
As our lips merged once more, Horo cleared his throat. Our kiss was broken and we both looked towards the door.
Horo, Lyserg, Ryu and Margaret are standing there.
"Oh… hi guys…" I said.
"Just how long have you been standing there?' demanded Ren.
"I-I don't understand. I thought-" Lyserg joked,
"You thought what? That I didn't feel the same way? That I would completely reject you and find you weird? …I thought that too when I realized my feelings towards you."
Mocked Horo getting down on one knee, "Will you marry me and help me raise lots of little Tao's and Asakura's?"
"Oh, I thought you'd never ask!" said Lyserg, hugging Horo.
The two burst out laughing.
"Laugh if you will, but at least Yoh is a man who can admit his feelings." Said Ryu.
"Yeah, it's about time you guys told each other." Said Lyserg.
Me and Ren both looked puzzled.
"Yeah, it was getting kind of awkward the way you both kept avoiding each other." smiled Horo.
"But… how'd you know?" I asked.
"It is quite easy to tell when a man is in love." Said Ryu.
I pulled Ren close and we kiss for the third time. Finally I had gotten what I wanted… Ren.
