Chapter 7: Item 3 of 3
It was near the end of the month and Ren was dreading every morning he woke up too, feeling that it could be his last. He was finally going to tell Horo everything, the whole truth. He wanted Horo to know everything before he died. Ren knew that Horo might not feel the same as him but... he had to say 'I love you' before he died.
However, every attempt Ren made to tell Horo was thwarted by something. The first time was Yoh passing in between them to get to his brother. The second was the fact that Anna threw a pie at Horo, because he didn't do his work properly, knocking the poor boy out. When Horo had his senses back, Ren tried again but was thwarted by Horo's appetite and an ice cream truck.
Hours and tries later...
Ren sighed. It was absolutely hopeless! Unless Horo miraculously realized that Ren was trying to tell him something he would never get a chane to tell him. Unless he told him in chinese... but that wouldn't work... Horo didn't understand chinese. Ren sighed heavily at his dillema. He needed a chance to be with Horo alone. If not he would probably die before telling him. And that was the last thing he wanted. It was after supper that night that Ren got his chance.
He pulled Horo out for a walk, using the excuse that they were going shopping. However instead of going in the direction of the shopping mall, he headed for the park.
Horo gave him a quizzical look. "Ren... why are we here?"
Ren shook his head. "Horo listen to me, I'm running out of time and I've been saving this one thing for last but if I wait any longer, I may die before I have a chance to say this. However... this happens to be embarrassing so I'm going to tell you in chinese and give you the translation after. Your reaction does matter but I need to say this. Horo... Wo ai ni."
Horo blinked a few times in total confusion and scratchd his head. "Ren... that made no sense to me."
Ren sighed heavily and brought his lips to Horo's ear before whispering. "It's chinese for 'I love you'." he said before pulling away and waiting.
Horo blinked again and sat down on a park bench. "Whoa... I was so not expecting that..." he said slowly. "But what's funny is that I've loved you for a long time and took the news of your coming death really hard. I had hoped it was a dream... but it wasn't. I wasn't brave enough to tell you my feelings and I thought I'd end up telling your corpse so... I'm glad... Ren..." he paused and looked at the chinese shaman happily. "Wo ai ni to you too."
Ren grinned happily and couldn't help it but jump on Horo at that very moment, pulling the northern boy into a heated kiss. Horo fell back in surprise taking the bench with them down to the ground. The two boys didn't notice and continued the battle for dominance over eachother's mouths. Horo quickly flipped them over and pinned Ren to the ground holding him in the kiss as long as possible before breaking it for air.
"Ren... not here. I want this to be special." he said standing and helping Ren up. "Come on." he pulled him back to the house quickly.
