I kept this position with him for a long time it seemed. My left hands fingers, in

twined with those of his right. My right arm, underneath his body, and wrapped around

him, holding him to me. His left arm was up around, and behind my neck, his fingers in

twined in my hair. Our lips pressed together.

Finally, we pulled out of the kiss.

"R-Ryu-chan? Where did that come from?"

"I…I've wanted to do that…For a really long time, Shu-chan."

He stared at me. He was crimson. Even in the dark, I could tell.

"Ryu-chan…"

"Shu-chan…I want to stay here. I don't want to go home tomarrow…Or even the

next day…I want to stay right beside you…"

"You'll have to go home eventually…"

"I know…I just, don't want to…"

"Ryu-chan…I don't want you to either…But, I don't like this position...I don't

know if I'm really ready for someone to come into my life…After all that's gone on

already…"

"Shu-chan…You know I'd never hurt you…"

"I know that Ryu-chan…But, I just don't wish to take the risk…"

He looked me in the eyes, and even in the darkness, he could tell.

"Ryu-chan? …Gomen nasai!!! I didn't mean to make you upset!! Please don't

cry!!! I'm not worth your tears…"

( A.N: Sorry…It's short again!! Gomen )
