Ryou glanced up from his work as Ichigo entered the room. He had asked her to come up after the Café had closed. His breath caught in his throat as she looked at him with her amber rose eyes. He never grew tied of her eyes.

Look at the sky

Tell me what do you see

Just close your eyes

And describe it to me

He had asked her to come up because he planned to reveal his feelings to hr. She and Masaya had broken up a couple of months ago, her choice, surprisingly and now he wanted to see if she would accept him.

The heavens are sparkling with starlight tonight

That's what I see through your eyes

Ichigo watched Ryou. He had asked her to come up. She wondered why. She hadn't done anything wrong and he had smiled when she had entered, a rare occurrence. She had even thought she had seen a flicker of emotion in his eyes before he had veiled them. She then stopped wondering and watched him contentedly

I see the heavens each time that you smile

I hear your heartbeat just go on for miles

And suddenly I know why life is worthwhile

That's what I see through your eyes

She had broken up with MSAYA A COUPLE OF MONTHS BEFORE. She had realised that the relationship had stopped growing and that it was her fault. She didn't love Masaya. She loved Ryou and although it had been shocking to actually realize and acknowledge it at first, she had now come to terms with it.

Here in the night

I see the sun

Here in the dark

Our two hearts are one

'I love you Ryou' Ichigo thought. ' I love you Ichigo' Ryou thought.

It's out of our hands

We can't stop what we have begun

And love just took me by surprise

Looking through your eyes

Ryou thought of all the times he had watched her and envisioned them together.

I look at myself

And instead I see us

Whoever I am now

It feels like enough

Then he looked at her as she gazed at him trustingly and possibly with more showing in her eyes? He took a breath. It was time.

And I see a girl who is learning to trust

That's who I see through your eyes

"Ichigo, I l…" he was cut off by the predisite alert alarm. He sighed as she leapt up to go and defends the Earth. She was just exiting his door when he called out, that she was to return after the battle to finish the conversation.

Here in the night

I see the sun

Here in the dark

Our two hearts are one

Glancing back as Ryou called after her to return after the battle. Ichigo felt her heart race even faster, she would return, if only because her loved one had asked it of her.

It's out of our hands

We can't stop what we have begun

And love just took me by surprise

Looking through your eyes

When Ichigo returned alone from the battle she entered his dimly lit room. Ryou was lying on his bed without a shirt on and was apparently asleep. She treaded silently until she was next to him. She reached over to cover him with blanket.

And there are some things we don't know

Sometimes a heart just needs to grow

And there is so much of us I remember

Underneath the open sky, with you forever

"Got ya!" said Ryou as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her down on top of him. With a little cry Ichigo fell into his arms. He held her tightly, her head pressed against his shoulder and then he said," Now as I was saying, I love you and I always will." Ichigo lifted her head and then said '"I love you too." Then he kissed her until she could hardly breathe.

Here in the night

I see the sun

Here in the dark

Our two hearts are one

When he finally took his mouth away Ryou said, "God, Ichigo." The burning warmth of his lips travelling from her lips to her throat and back again. "If I lived a thousand years it wouldn't be long enough to tell you how much I love you." What need was there for words when actions spoke so much clearer? She thought, tenderness flowing from her stroking fingertips as they found joy in exploring his broad shoulders and muscled back. He was hers and no one else's, and it was with this thought that those weeks and months of agonising misery faded into oblivion when she finally drifted to sleep in his strong, protective arms.

It's out of our hands

We can't stop what we have begun

And love just took me by surprise

Looking through your eyes

The next morning they woke up face to face, looking into each other's eyes. Ryou and Ichigo both marvelled at how they had never seen the love there before, but both vowed that they would never lose sight of it again.
