                                                 Eyes For Jupiter  Chapter 5

                                                         By: Seiyaferret

            I don't know how long we stood there.  I didn't care.  My arms were wrapped around him and his were around me.  His face was buried in my hair.  I stood there with my eyes closed and stroked his hair.  I felt him stir and I let my arms drop as he stepped back.

            "Sorry," he said. 

            "You don't need to apologize to me.  I know it hurts," I responded.

            Rein sighed.  "I just feel that I'm giving you all my problems."

            I looked straight into Rein's eyes.  "If I didn't want this I wouldn't have asked you to that cup of coffee.  Now, for the rest of the day you are not going to worry about anything.  We are going to go have some fun.  I'll take no excuses or no for an answer."  My eyes simply sparkled with mischief. 

            He let out a little half laugh and smiled at me.  I thought that I was going to turn into mush at his feet.  "Sounds like a fine plan to me."

            "Great!"  I quickly grabbed his hand and we were off in a flash.

            "Where are we going?" asked Rein.

            "That is a surprise," I said.  I was practically dragging him behind me.  As soon as the shopping mall came into view I slowed down my pace. 

            "Ah, so you're going shopping," he said.

            "Correction.  We're going shopping," I returned.

            Soon we entered the mall and I took the nearest escalator to the second floor.  That was where the cool men's shops were.  When we reached the top of the escalator I began walking t the nearest store.  Rein quickly caught up with me.  "I didn't know that you bought your clothes in men's stores."

            He is totally clueless.  Since he fit pretty well in my father's clothes I knew his size.  I just let him think what he wanted to.  First I went to the shirts.  I asked him which ones he thought I should buy.  He picked out several different styles and colors.  Then we went to the jeans.  I picked out some plain boot cut blue jeans.  He didn't need anything that was fancy or baggy or hip.  He looked wonderful in plain jeans.  I also decided to grab a couple of khaki slacks for a little bit dressier occasions.  I went to the counter and paid for the items.  Rein was still blissfully ignorant that these were for him. 

            Like a true gentleman, he carried my, or rather his packages.  We went to a shoe store next.  I decided I wanted a new pair of boots.   I looked at his feet and saw some rather worn out tennis shoes.  I went up to the counter and talked to the clerk.  I asked him if he could tell Rein that he won the store contest by being the 1000th customer into the store, so he won three free pairs of shoes.  But actually I would pay for them when I paid for mine.  I love how devious my mind can work sometimes.  The clerk quickly agreed and put on his show.  I just watched out of the corner of my eye while the clerk and Rein were talking about what style and size to get.

            Rein came up to me amazed.  "Can you believe that?  I just won three free pairs of shoes for being the 1000th customer.  I didn't even know that this place was having a contest!"

            I just played amazed and said, "Wow, neither did I!"   Of course I know the real secret.  Rein got his shoes from the clerk.  I was just about ready to check out and took couple thousand yen out of my purse.  "He Rein, would you mind going and getting us something to drink while I pay for my shoes?" 

            "Sure, no problem."

I gave him the money and he left for the drink stand in the hall.  I then turned to the clerk and thanked him for his wonderful performance.  I paid for all of our stuff and followed Rein to the drink stand.

            He was sitting on a nearby bench waiting for me.  I sat down next to him and he handed me my drink.  "Thanks."

            "You know I'm gonna pay you back for all this don't you?" he asked.

            I looked at him confused. "What do you mean?"

            "All the clothes and shoes you bought for me.  I'm going to pay you back." 

            I stared intently at my straw.  "How did you know?"

            "I'm not exactly the best judge on size, but I don't think you would fit into the pants you bought today."

            "I hope you're not angry with me," I said suddenly shy and looking again at my straw.

            He gently lifted my chin with his hand.  It felt so good to feel his touch.  He gently turned my face to him.  When his hand met my cheek I opened my eyes to see his looking back.  Oh what wonderful eyes, so mysterious, strong and yet gentle.  His face was just inches from mine.  Is it my imagination or is his moving closer?  My eyes fluttered closed as his thumb rubbed across my lips.  Before I knew it his lips had replaced his thumb.  It was pure bliss.  His kiss was so soft and gentle.  It was just a brief kiss, but I felt so much in it.  I opened my eyes when he said "I have wanted to do that since the coffee shop." 

            "I think I wanted you to do that the moment I bumped in to you," I replied still a bit dazed by his kiss and still clutching is shirt in my hands. 

            Before I knew it, his arms were around me and his lips had once again descended upon my own.  This time that kiss was wild, passionate and utterly wonderful.  If I hadn't been sitting down I'm sure my legs would have given out completely.  We didn't come around until we heard applause and whistles from the audience we acquired.   My face was beet red.  Rein just had a roguish look on his face.  Upon seeing that we had an audience, he quickly grabbed our bags and my hand and dashed towards the nearest mall exit.

            We walked along hand in hand for a few minutes.  I had to know.  The suspense was going to kill me, so I asked.   "Does this mean we're a couple now?"

            Rein looked at me and smiled.  "Only if you want it to.  Lord knows I do."

            I let out an enormous squeal and jumped into his arms.  "Yes I want it!"

At last I have finally found somebody.  I am almost overwhelmed with joy.  My life couldn't be any better, except for the sadness still lurking in Rein's eyes.  I know it's from not knowing about his brother.  I can't take it away, and I don't want to.  It is part of him as my sorrow from my parent's deaths is for me.  I only hope to help him find the closure he so desperately needs.
