Sweet Heart
Part ten
That night, Ryoga lie awake in his bed. He pounderd on how to turn back. He knew he wanted too. He was tightly snug in his bed, the moonlight glowing through his window. The stars twinkling above. He began thinking of Ukyo again. He knew, in his heart, that his love for her, was stronger than his old love for Akane. He found himself unable to sleep. His thoughts of Ukyo grew more and more each passing second.
He sighed. Unable to sleep, he hopped out of his bed again and walked into Ukyo's room. He crawled on the bed and saw Ukyo wasnt sleeping.
"Hey there sugar." She said putting some blankets over him.
"Hi Ukyo." He said sitting up.
"Can't sleep?" She asked him and he nodded. She smiled."Me neither." She said nudging him to lie down. "Try okay?" She said and he nodded. With one, small kiss on the forehead, Ryoga closed his eyes and allowed Ukyo to stroke his hair untill he slept. During his sleep. He dreamt of his and Ukyo's time together. From the day they met untill then. Ukyo fell asleep soon after Ryoga had.
Ryoga, still cuddled up in Ukyo's bed, was cold.Ukyo wasnt beside him, but she was in the living room, watching the outside. It was snowing.
"Good news Sugar." She said. "It's snowing hard so you dont have to go to school." She smiled. Then noticed he was shivering. "You cold?"
He nodded. "Yeah."
"Come here." She said and he did as he was told. She put the warm blanket he had given her around him. They lied on the couch together and watched some movies. Suddenly. Ryoga started crying.
"Whats wrong?" She asked him, She wiped away the tears.
"I wanna be 16 again Ukyo! Im tired of being a child! I want to be able to do things for myself again, I want to-" He stopped before he said 'Love you.'
"You want to-?" She asked. He said
"Nothing. Got ahead of myself." He said She allowed him to cry on her.
"Poor boy, Dont cry okay? Were gonna get you back to how you were. Now now. Dont cry." She said wiping some tears from his eyes. He relaxed his head on her shoulder, her arms still around him.
"Ukyo..." He said. "When you find a great husband. You'll be a great mom." He said.
"Thanks Sugar." She said hugging onto him, But I wanted my husband to be you... She thought. Her grip on him tightend. She found herself starting to cry. He told her not to cry.
"Ukyo..." He mumbled, looking at her tear filled eyes. His head got posituoned under Ukyo's chin. After he began thinking of how he changed before. I mean, what happend before. He rememberd telling that man he wasnt Ukyo's boyfriend, getting cut alot, then changing...mabye...
"Hey Ukyo. Could go out for a few hours?" He asked.
"Why?" She asked him.
"I can't tell you why. But can you just come back, around 7:00?" He asked. she nodded suspiciusly, went into her room, got dressed and left.
"Here goes!" He announced to himself as he began setting up the living room with two chairs and a table. He found a blanket that he used for a table cloth, then he put a candle in the middle of the chair. Then once the living room was set up, he went into the kitchen and began cooking varius foods Ukyo and Himself liked.
7:00 rolled around and when Ukyo came back, the house was dark, but had the smell of good food. She looked around for Ryoga and found him in an over sized tux.
"Take a seat!" He smiled and they both sat down. There was a lit candle in the middle of the table and some foods. They began eating.
"Ukyo. I have been wanting to tell you something for a long, long long time." He said swallowing a bite of curry.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"I love you."
