Prince Meets Princess

Author's Notes: This chapter is for RenXPirika fans. It has almost nothing to do with the plot, just harmless fluff for Ren and Pirika.

Chapter Nineteen: The Sweetest Good-bye

The room had pretty much emptied, leaving behind only two people. A bubbly blue headed princess and her Chinese prince. Neither was ready to call it a night, neither felt like saying good-bye to the other. They wanted to relish the last few hours together, before he would return to his birth country. Of course, he'd return in a few days. But, even that was too long for the young princess.

"Ren." The blue haired princess said, gazing at the back of her fiancé, who stood at the window, quietly looking out it. "W-will you miss me when your gone?" She asked softly, now staring at her hands that were placed on her lap.

Ren blinked, glancing over his shoulder at his bride-to-be, "Would you miss me?" He asked in turn, before returning his gaze to the star filled sky.

The girl sighed, slowly nodding, "Of course I would." She paused, turning to look at Ren, "But, I want to know if you'd miss me."

Ren slowly turned to face her, "Then I'd miss you." He said simply, his tone unconvincing. He frowned, seeing his bride-to-be return her gaze to her lap, her crystal tears falling down her smooth cheek. "Pirika..." He said softly, walking over to her.

Pirika wiped her eyes, noting looking at Ren as he began to run his fingers through her long sky blue hair, "Of course I'd miss you, you are my bride after all." He said softly.

Pirika sniffed, "I'm your bride, but would you miss me because..." She paused, taking a deep sigh before she continued in a voice barely above a whisper, "...you love me?"

Ren blinked, slightly taken back by the question, "Yes." Was all he said in the same quiet tone.

Pirika turned around to face him, "Say you love me, Ren." She pleaded, tears still in her eyes.

Ren sighed, a slight blush appearing on his face, "I'll miss you because I'm in love with you." He said.

Pirika smiled before embracing Ren, burying her face into his neck as her tears fell, "I love you too." She cried, "That's why I don't want you to go."

Ren pulled her closer, "I have to, how else will I tell my family I meant the perfect bride." He said quietly, lightly brushing her hair while holding her close to him. He smiled when he heard a soft chuckle.

"I suppose you're right." Pirika said sitting back up, wiping her face, but Ren's hand caught hers. He gently wiped her tears while leaning closer to her, "Of course I'm right." He whispered before gently pressing his lips against hers.
