Author's Note: Hey there! So, guess what everyone? Final chapter is finally out! I kinda took more time to write this since I was doing my best to make a proper ending! I hope you guys enjoy the final chapter, and I hope that you enjoy the ending! Have fun reading this, cya!

One more thing, there's going to be an extra chapter coming up soon. A side-story of this fan fic featuring a new pairing. You probably didn't expect this, but the couple will be Hirota x Keisuke … (Just in case you forgot, Hirota is that double dating freak who kept asking Rei to come along with him!)


Aomine Daiki's P.O.V.

"I love you."

I … said it. I finally said it.

I looked at Rei hoping that he could have heard it somehow. His eyes grew wide, the blush on his face deepened, and tears filled his eyes. My eyes widened when I saw him cry. "Rei…?" I reached my hands to cup his face and wiped away his tears with my thumbs. He kept sobbing and sniffing non-stop for a while. When he finally stopped, he raised his hands to reach mine that were still cupping his face and held them.

"Rei, why are you … crying?" He was frowning. "Say it again." He tightened his grip on my hands. "Say that … you love me again." I felt my face heat up a bit. "N-No …" He pouted his lips. "But … why? You just said it!" I looked away from him. "Anyways I already said it and that's that!" He let go of my hands, put his hands on my chest and gripped my shirt.

"B-But, I wasn't mentally prepared for it … my heart wasn't ready either! I want to hear you say it properly again!"

I grabbed his wrists and pinned him to the couch. "Fine, I'll tell you how I feel about you …" I felt his whole body shiver, as my face got closer to his.

"I …" He softened his eyes.

"I …" My mouth was close to his. His blush kept growing deeper by the second. I leaned further down so that my mouth was next to his ear and smirked.

"I still think you're an idiot."


I bursted out laughing at his reaction. "I-It's not funny! I … I hate you! You jerk!" He pushed me back and got off of the couch. I was still busy laughing. "S-sorry, but … it was hilarious. You were so into it! I couldn't help it." He glared at me. "Oh yeah?! Well good for you! I'm leaving!" He reached the door and slightly opened it but I shut the door using both of my arms immediately.

Rei was now standing in between my arms. "You're trapped. I'm not letting you go anywhere." His eyes looked at me with confusion. "I h-have to go! It's getting late! And there's school tomorr-mmph!" I put my hand behind his head and pulled him into a kiss. His eyes widened at first, but soon his eyes softened as he gave in to the kiss. He raised his arms and wrapped them around me.

"D-Dai…ki…" I pulled back from the kiss and looked at him. "What?" He lowered his gaze. "Y-Your … mom will come back soon." I smirked and leaned down for another kiss. "Does it look like I care?" He shut his eyes tightly and parted his lips allowing me to slip my tongue into his mouth. I raised an eyebrow at him.

Heh, he's finally giving in to my kisses. I closed my eyes and kissed him deeper.


A few minutes later, Rei pulled away from the kiss gasping for air. "L-Let's stop …" I grinned and teased him. "Why? Is it too much for you?" He pouted and looked away. "S-Shut up! I already told you that y-your mom will be showing up any time now, so-ahhh!" I interrupted him when I leaned in to his neck and nipped it.

"Dai…" While sucking on his neck, I removed his jacket out of the way and slid my hand under his shirt. His eyes widened. "W-What are you doing?" I smirked. "What do you think I'm doing?" He put his hand over mine and tried to pull it out but failed when I overpowered him and managed to remove his shirt.

Ah, his blush keeps growing deeper, is there a limit to how red he can turn?

I smirked and bit his ear causing him to gasp. "Dai-!" The door suddenly opened and bumped with the backside of Rei's head hard, causing the both of us to trip and fall with Rei being on top of me.

"Daiki-chaaaaaan~ I'm ho-"


Holy Crap.

Mom was standing at the door with widened eyes. Rei was completely freaking out and immediately stood up. I just looked anywhere other than mom's direction. I mean … Rei is practically half naked and is on top of me.

What would normal moms do in that kind of a situation?

I flinched when a vein popped on her head. She stomped her way to where I was and grabbed me from the ear.

"OUCH! Mom! What are y-" She pinched my ear harder. "You stupid perverted son! How dare you touch my innocent Rei-chaaaaaan~ I'm going to kick your sorry ass and ground you for a week!" What-the-fuck? I slapped her hand away and glared at her.

"First of all, Rei is mine you stupid annoying mom! Seco- Hey! Stop clinging on to him!" I have no idea when she managed to go to Rei's side and hug him. "My poor Rei-chaaan~ I'm so sorry that this perverted son of mine attacked you. Don't worry though, now that I'm here, I'll protect you!" I sent Rei death glares.

I told you not to let anyone touch you, Rei!

He flinched as if he understood what I was thinking. I snapped out of my thoughts when mom let go of Rei and sighed.

"But anyways…" She smiled. "Happy Birthday, Daiki-chan~" She ruffled my hair. I felt my face heat up in embarrassment. "W-Whatever." She grinned and looked at Rei. "Come on, I bought a cake on my way home, let's celebrate Daiki-chan's birthday together. Rei blushed and nodded.


Kurosaki Rei's P.O.V.

I really can't process everything that happened just now. Hearing Daiki say he loves me …

It really felt like my heart stopped for a second.

Then … getting t-touched by him … felt weird! A-And then his mom came in at a s-super wrong time! She always does but this time was … too awkward! I can't believe that Daiki said something like 'Rei is mine' to his mom! S-So that means … he knows that she knows about us. I feel so embarrassed! His mom is so kind.

She doesn't mind it at all … me being with Daiki.


We spent the rest of the night celebrating Daiki's birthday. It was fun … I'm glad, that I waited for Daiki. I'm glad that I came here. Although hearing the words 'I love you' come from Daiki, it feels like a dream.

It depresses me because I don't know when he's going to say it again …

"Rei?" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at Daiki. "Y-Yea?" He raised an eyebrow. "You okay?" I nodded. "Daiki-chaan~? Who's this scarf for?! It's so cuuute! Can I wear it? Can I?" She already put it around her neck … "D-DON'T TOUCH IT!" He ran over to her and took it away from her. "It's mine!" She raised an eyebrow.

"Yours? Since when do you bother to buy yourself scarfs?! You used to throw away the ones I get you! Saying things like, 'wearing scarfs is so lame'."

Eh? D-Did I make the wrong choice with the gift? So … he didn't like it.

I frowned. Daiki sighed and scratched the back of his head. "This one is special. Rei gave it to me." I felt my eyes widen.

Special?

I felt my heart skip a beat. "Ehhhhh? No way! But I like it~ Rei-chaan~ Where did you buy it from? I want one too!" She wants one?! I blushed and looked away.

"S-Sorry … I ummm … made it." Daiki and his mom looked dumbfounded. "No way … Oh god, Rei-chan is definitely the cutest! You're so lucky Daiki-chan! Don't you think?" He looked away.

Did it sound weird when I said that I made it for him? I frowned.

"Sorry, umm … I have to go. It's really late. Mom will freak out." He sighed. "Fine, let's go, I'll drop you off." I blushed and nodded. "Awww~ you're leaving me Rei-chaan~? I'm going to miss you!" She hugged me again. I flinched and avoided looking at Daiki. I can tell that he's sending me death glares again.

He came from behind me and put one arm around me, then pushed his mom away with the other arm. "Stop touching him!" I blinked at what just happened. His mom pouted. "But I can't resist him, I mean … LOOK AT HIM! He's so fluffy~" I blushed at what she said and felt Daiki's arm tighten around my neck.

He's choking me!

"Well then, too bad for you. He belongs to me. Oh and … I'm going to tell dad that you're emotionally cheating on him!" She gasped. "H-How dare you?! FINE! I'm going to tell him that you're dating a guy! And I won't back you up at all! Instead, I'm going to enjoy watching him kick your ass. Heh, unless you beg me to help you."

A sweat drop appeared at the back of my head. His mom is scary when she wants to be. Now I know whom Daiki takes after! I heard Daiki sigh as he let go of me.

"Let's just go before this conversation turns weirder than it already is." I nervously smiled and nodded. "I'll see you later auntie! Goodnight!" She smiled and waved. "Goodnight Rei-chaan~"


As soon as we got out of the house, there was an awkward silence between us. I looked at his hand, he was still holding the scarf. I frowned. "Y-You know … if you don't like the scarf, I'll get you something else …" He stopped walking.

"Huh?" I shook my head. "Give me the scarf, I'll get you another gift." I reached my hand to take it from him but he lift his arm so that I wouldn't be able to reach it. "Hell no! It's mine!" I raised an eyebrow.

"But you don't like scarfs! I'll get you something else!" I jumped and tried to take the scarf but he raised his hands higher causing me to trip. I almost fell but he put one arm around me and stopped me from falling. "Clumsy idiot." He sighed. "G-Give it bac-" He let go of me and put the scarf around his neck.

"It's true … about me not liking scarfs ..." I frowned. "Then why?" He leaned down and kissed my cheek. "Because it's a scarf that was made by you." I felt my eyes widen and my cheeks heat up from the kiss.

He cleared his throat and started walking again. "Let's get you home already." I smiled. He was walking in front of me, so I walked faster and hugged him from behind. He stood still in surprise.

"Daiki" ...

"Yeah?" I tightened my hug. "I love you." He flinched. I chuckled at his reaction. I'm sure he didn't expect me to say it now. I let go of him but he grabbed my hand and pulled me in front of him.

"Rei…"

He put his hand on my cheek and … smiled. "You love me, right?" I shivered when I felt his thumb caress my cheek. I blushed and nervously nodded. He leaned in next to my ear and smirked.

"I love you too"

He said it … again!

I didn't even get a chance to react when he held my hand and started walking. I was dumbfounded, completely. Daiki sighed. "This is why I didn't want to say it." I looked at him. "Eh?" He scratched the back of his head. "Whenever I say it, you act like you saw a flying pig! Just act normally!" I blushed. "It's because you saying that you love me is a miracle! And you keep saying it when I'm not ready …"

He tightened his grip on my hand and sighed again. "Idiot, miracles don't happen twice in a day. Anyways … I'll say it many times in the future. So just … make sure that you don't disappear one day." I was so happy that I felt that my heart might to stop. I nodded. "I won't disappear … I'll always love you, Daiki." I glanced at Daiki and saw him blush.

Oh god, my heart can't take it anymore.


"I feel like throwing up." He put his hand over his mouth. "EH?! A-Are you okay?! What's wrong? Where does it hurt?!" He glared at me. "We sound like a cheesy couple! No- I turned into a cheesy guy because of you!" I nervously looked away.

Ah, it's true.

"We're normal! You're thinking too much!" He scowled at me. "What was that long pause for?!" I grinned. "It's nothing! Oh- I reached home! I'll see you in school Daiki~ Goodnight!" I let go of his hand to enter the house but Daiki grabbed my hand and pulled me to him again

"Hey …" I looked at him. "Kiss me?" I pouted … it feels awkward when he asks me to kiss him. But … I'll do it! I closed my eyes, leaned up and kissed him.


When I pulled back, he smirked. "You know … you're getting better at kissing." My eyes widened. "R-Really? So does that mean that … you like kissing me now?" He raised an eyebrow then sighed. "You idiot, if I didn't like it then I wouldn't have kissed you to begin with."

Oh … I smiled. "I love you, Daiki" He ruffled my hair. "Goodnight Rei." I waved my hand as I entered the house. "Goodnight Daiki!"


[Next Day]

I yawned and stretched my hands as I made my way to school.

Daiki didn't come to walk with me today.

I thought he'd be here just like yesterday. Oh well, it's fine though. "Reeiii-chinn!" I looked back to see a grinning Keisuke approaching me. "Keisuke!" I waved at him. "I missed you~" He put his arm around me neck and ruffled my hair. I chuckled at his randomness. "Keisuke~ I miss you t-" I was interrupted when a hand grabbed my shirt from the back and pulled me away from Keisuke.

"Ah, Aomine-Sempai~ Good morning!" Keisuke scoffed. Oh no … I was too scared to look back. Daiki is going to murder me! "Good morning you annoying prick." Keisuke smirked at him. "Why do you look so pissed off Sempai~? Did I maybe do something to piss you off?" I'm sweating with nervousness at the moment. I flinched when I felt Daiki's hand on my head.

"I know that you've already heard what's unnecessary from Rei, but since you already know … I'm warning you to refrain yourself from touching what's mine."

EHHHH!? Keisuke was shocked as much as I was. "Hehhh~ Are you jealous Sempai?"

Stop it Keisuke!

"Yeah, it pisses me off to no end when people touch what's mine." Keisuke raised an eyebrow then grinned. "Yeah yeah, don't worry, he's just an important friend. I don't have any intentions of stealing him away or anything. Besides, I'm straight. You stupid homo-couple!" I nervously smiled.

Okay … Time to run away … Daiki is definitely going to snap.

"Good. So make sure you don't get in the way."

Eh? …

Ehhh? …

EHHHHH?!

Aomine Daiki was called a homo just now, and he's acting normal? Keisuke smirked and waved at me. "See you in class Rei-chin!" I was too dumbfounded to even blink.

"Rei" I'm doomed.

"Didn't I tell you to stop letting people cling on to you?" I flinched. "Oh and what was it you said just now? You missed him, huh?" He clicked his tongue and continued walking. "Two-timing bastard."

EHHHH?!

I ran after him. "I'm sorry! I was going along with what he said, I swear! I-I missed YOU Daiki! Not him!" He was completely ignoring me! "As if I'd believe you." I pouted my lips. "But … I love you." He was still ignoring me. Damn it … did I ruin his mood again? I frowned and continued walking next to him.


I glanced at him every now an then to see what expression he had. Yeah, he had an expression that says 'go die' on his face.

I want to hold his hand

I hesitated but then touched his hand, hoping he would get what I'm trying to hint. No reaction. My hand was shaking when I tried to touch his hand again, but I retrieved my hand just before it touched his …

I don't want to piss him off again.

I heard him sigh and mutter. "Idiot." I looked at him, and my eyes widened when his hand held mine. "I'll forgive you this time, but if you do it again I'll kill you!" I blushed and smiled at him. "I love you … Daiki" He looked away immediately. I inwardly chuckled when I saw his blush!

I never thought that … the hopeless confession I made on the rooftop that day, would lead to something like this. I'm so glad that I gathered up my courage and confessed to you. I don't know how many obstacles will get in our way, but … I'm never giving you up to anyone. Because …

I love you, Aomine Daiki.

"Rei!" I snapped out of my thoughts. "Y-Yeah?" He sighed. "You ignored me … even though I just told you something that I rarely say. Well, too bad for you. I'm not saying it until god knows when."

Huh?

Something he rarely says?

It can't be …

"D-Daiki! I-It's not fair! I was thinking about something!" He smirked. "Too bad for you, I won't say it." I frowned. "But … I want to hear it…" I pouted and lowered my eyes.


When we reached school, I let go of his hand. "So umm … I'll see you later Dai-" He grabbed my hand and started dragging me around. "D-Daiki? Where are we-"

Huh? …

… Rooftop.

"This is where it started, right?" I blinked at him. "Sorry?" He scratched the back of his head. "When you first confessed to me. You were standing here, and I was positioned this way, right?" My eyes grew wide when I realized what he was talking about.

It's true … this is exactly how we were facing each other when I first confessed to him.

I slowly nodded. "Do it again." I raised an eyebrow. "Eh?" He clicked his tongue. "Your confession! Do it again …" I felt my face heat up. W-What's going on?! Why is he making me confess again? "Just do it already, damn it!" I flinched.

"Aomine-Sempai, I really really like you!"

S-Shit … it feels weird. I wasn't looking at him. It felt too awkward. Why is he making me do this? I shivered when I felt Daiki's cold hand on my cheek. I looked at him and blushed when I saw his eyes soften.

What's … happening? My heart is beating really fast. My eyes widened as he leaned in and kissed me.

Daiki…?

He pulled away from the kiss and smiled. "I like you too, Rei."

Oh god, I don't think that my heart can take it anymore.


"Nothing to say?" I looked away and shook my head. "It feels like my heart is about to stop any second now." He smirked and leaned in so that his lips were a few inches away from mine. "You love me that much, huh?" I nervously nodded as my blush grew deeper. He leaned in further closing the gap between us, and kissed me again.

"Daaai-chaaan~"

"God damn it! Do we always have to get interrupted by idiots?!" he muttered.

"What do you want, Satsuki?!" She grinned. "Tetsu-kun and I are datinnggg~"

EH?!

Tetsu … that guy with the blue hair, right? So I was seriously worrying like an idiot over nothing?!

"Who the fuck cares if you're dating! Will you leave me alone already?" She pouted. "You're so mean Dai-chaan~" I sighed then chuckled at them.


Even though I've said it countless times already, I'll say it again. I love you, Daiki.
