How Much I Love You

Riku gently stroked Hana's head she was laying on his chest half asleep. It was about 8:00 PM and Hana's fever had finally broken and she was feeling much better. Hana opened her eyes and turned so she was looking at Riku.

"Hey Riku I was wondering" Hana asked timidly "How is it that you can afford to live by yourself I mean I've never heard you talk about work or anything it's just how do you do it" Riku frowned and looked away from her, he thought for a few minutes before responding quietly.

"This used to be my dad's place he left it to me after he died" He turned his head away before continuing." My mom sends me money every month to help with bills and groceries and stuff."

"Oh, but where's your mom?"

"Overseas working, she's got a huge condo over on the mainland with just about anything you cloud ask for."

"But why don't you live with her wouldn't it be better there"

"And live with my step father are you kidding me. They've got their own little life and they don't need me." Riku said frustrated. He put his hands behind his head and looked up at the ceiling aggravated. Hana lifted herself up on her hands so she could see his face His eyes glinted; they were laced with tears he was ready to cry.

"They wouldn't want me there anyway" Riku's voice cracked and he closed his eyes to prevent the tears from coming. He moved to get up but Hana caught his wrist and pulled him back into a tight hug. She held him for a few minutes before beginning to pull away but just as she did Riku reached for her and pulled her back hugging her tight. Hana could feel tears coming from him. A thought came to her Riku was crying she wasn't sure what to do I mean guys don't cry very often and when they do it when there alone.

Hana did the only thing she could think of which was to stay there and hold him. Riku's tears flowed freely now and Hana did all she could as he sat there crying like a little kid.

Soon the tears had stopped but Riku still hadn't let go of Hana. I have to tell her now Riku thought I need to know. Riku took a slow deep breath, closed his eyes and whispered to Hana.

"Hana I love you so much" Riku paused gathering his thoughts "and I want to show you exactly how much I love you" Hana just sat there she was in shock she knew what Riku had meant and she felt the same way but she was still unsure. Riku sensed this feeling and pulled away he had a soft look in his eyes. They gazed at each other and Riku cupped his hand on Hana's cheek.

"Don't worry" Riku said reassuring her "I promise that I won't do anything until you're ready" Hana dropped her gaze from Riku's eyes his hand was still on her cheek. Riku smiled, gently placed his other hand on her face and drew closer to her. He kissed her softly and whispered.

"I promise" Hana smiled and wrapped her arms around Riku. Riku let his hands slip from her face and wrap around her slim figure. They kissed, it was a slow warm kiss but gradually grew rougher. Hana slowly leaned back and Riku followed until they were lying down. Hana pulled away, her face flushed bright red and she whispered softly to Riku.

"I'm ready" Riku smiled and kissed her again she was ready and he was going to show her.

Riku woke up to the sound of his alarm clock. He opened his eyes and smiled when he saw Hana beside him. The memory of last night came flooding back to him. He remembered her soft form against his, her touch, her smile. Riku closed his eyes lost him thought until he was jolted awake once again by his alarm clock. 6:30 he groaned but got up anyway and pulled a pair of boxers before gently waking Hana. Hana blinked and opened her eyes and smiled at Riku.

"G'morning" Riku said as Hana sat up holding the blankets in front of her. Hana smiled at him, got up, grabbed one of Riku's t-shirts and pulled it on. After scurrying around for a few minutes Hana announced that she was going to take a shower and cutely strutted off towards the bathroom.

Riku watched her go then an idea popped in his head. He got up and quietly followed Hana to the bathroom. She was already in the shower and didn't hear him come in. Riku grinned, stripped off his shorts and jumped into the shower with Hana. She turned around and screamed slightly at seeing him standing next to her.

"Holy crap Riku you scared me" She said pushing him playfully. Riku laughed and they continued to shower.

Once they were out Riku wandered off to the bedroom to get dressed while Hana stayed in the bathroom. Once he was dressed he went back to the bathroom where Hana was still getting ready. As soon as he walked in Hana turned and laughed at him.

"What are you laughing about?" Riku asked extremely confused at why his girlfriend was laughing insanely for no reason.

"Your hair" she shouted in between giggles. Then Riku remembered the he hadn't brushed his hair yet and walked over to the mirror to see how he looked. His bangs were carelessly pushed back in a tangled knot on his head, he did look pretty funny actually.

"C'mere" Hana said picking up a brush "Lemme brush it for you"

"Alright" Riku said sitting down on the toilet so she could reach his head. Riku braced himself, he knew the usually when other people brush your hair it hurt but he soon relaxed as he felt Hana gently brushing away barely pulling his hair.

"Done" Hana announced when she had finished "And I think you look much better"

Riku smiled at her and got up to examine himself in the mirror. The style was slightly different from how he usually wore it but he liked it.

"I like it" He said satisfied with his appearance.

"Me to, you can see your eyes better this way" Riku smiled at the compliment

"Thanks Hana"

"You're welcome, but you might want to think about cutting it...considering its longer than mine." Hana said running her fingers through Riku's long hair.

"I dunno, maybe" Riku started he thought about it for a minute but then the doorbell rang and he walked off to answer it while Hana headed for the kitchen. He answered the door and wasn't surprised to see Sora and Kairi standing in the doorway.

"HI Riku" they chirped at the same time "you coming to school today"

"Yeah Hana's feeling a lot better so we're going today"

"Yay" they responded at the same time again.

"ZOMG" Kairi said shocked "Sora's turning me into a spazz" it was true ever since Kairi and Sora started going out Kairi had become more excitable and spazz like.

"Awe but you're a cute spazz" Sora said smiling at her. The couple began talking about how cute they were, completely ignoring their friend in the doorway. Riku rolled his eyes and walked back into his house and into the kitchen leaving the two alone on his front steps.

Once he entered the kitchen he grabbed two packages of Pop tarts and tossing one to Hana he said.

"C'mon Sora and Kairi are here"

"Kay" Hana said happily grabbing her things and walking towards the door with Riku. The small group left for the bus stop as Hana and Riku munched on their pop tarts. By the time they arrived at the bus stop they had finished their small breakfast and were now standing side-by-side waiting for the bus.

Hana glanced over and saw that Sora and Kairi were currently wrapped it a tight kiss and weren't paying attention to anything else. She took this opportunity to gently slide her hand into Riku's. He looked at her and smiled giving her hand a slight squeeze.

Riku sighed happily ever since Hana had come which wasn't all that long ago he had been happy. It was strange he was normally grumpy or depressed but with Hana around he just couldn't be sad and as long as he had Hana he wouldn't be sad anymore.
