The Test (Part 5)
"We are SO not going to pass. Things just slipped out of me. Like you being a tomboy, or clumsy and…" Akane got up. 'Why did you do that, Ranma? I said I loved you. I said I loved you and you said I'm a tomboy. Why did you DO that?' "Oh right, like I care, I said you're a macho and a two-timer! I even said you were afraid of CATS!"
"No! How dare you?"
"How dare YOU? How dare you talk about me that way while I put so much effort in! I even said I loved…"
"Loved what?" Ranma looked so serious suddenly, that Akane was worried.
"I said I loved…your muscles."
"Ha! My show was way better! I said I loved your smile!"
"Well, I said I like to watch you eat!"
"I said your eyes were like golden glass in the sun!"
"I said I could always count on you to be there for me!"
"I said I loved you!"
"I love you too!" 'Wait, what? No. "I said I loved you too." Would have been correct, right? Oh no, oh my God, he's going to laugh, oh God, oh God, this is so embarrassing…'
"No, I mean…I…" Then he kissed her. Ranma kissed Akane. He put one hand behind her head and the other one pulled her to him at the waist. And she kissed back. She wrapped both arms around his neck and kissed back.
And it was that simple. For two years, it had always been that simple.
"YOU PASSED! GUYS, YOU PASSED! HOW DID YOU DO IT?", Nabiki yelled through the house.
Ranma smiled and kissed Akane's forehead before going out the window in the Akane's room. They were keeping it a secret for now. Like they always had. Ever since the day they had first met.
