Ritsu finally calmed down thanks to Masamune. They lay there in silence for a while, Ritsu just clung to him. "What's wrong?" Masamune cooed.

"It's nothing" Masamune sighed but let it slide knowing that pushing Ritsu wouldn't help.

"I'm here if you want to talk Ritsu don't forget that" Masamune reminded not letting Ritsu go.

"Masa-kun" Ritsu moved so she was hovering over him again. He moved so he was on his back looking up at her, tucking her hair behind her ear.

"I'm listening" Masamune prompted when Ritsu looked like she was hesitant

"Do you love me? I mean honestly love me" Masamune frowned

"Of course, I love you, Ritsu" Masamune sat up as Ritsu sighed in relief "What made you think I don't?" Masamune asked concerned.

"I never thought that!"

"Then what brought this on?" Masamune asked softly. Ritsu refused to meet his gaze looking down at her hands. "Ritsu if that little bitch said something-"

"She didn't put these thoughts here, she just… made me aware of them" Ritsu sniffed "She was saying that she fell for you because you are the first person to make her work for your attention. She was just so confidant, that she would have you and I just…"

Masamune nuzzled the top of her head. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm not interested in her"

"You say that now" Ritsu sniffed and Masamune growled. "What? She's better than me in everything, she's pretty, she's nice, she's… experienced, she's confidant" Ritsu listed "I'm none of those things and I'm just so scared someone will take you from me and I-" Ritsu was cut off when Masamune kissed her and when he pulled away his amber gaze was soft and loving as he wiped the tears she didn't know she had shed from her face.

His hand lingered cupping her cheek before hooking a finger under her chin so she wouldn't look away, keeping her gaze fixed on him. "I love you, Onodera Ritsu, and I will not have you think I don't. Get jealous, be possessive, but never be insecure," Masamune stated firmly "You mean the world to me Ritsu, I won't leave the only person who's honestly loved me and I will tell you as many times you need me to if it will stop you from worrying"

"Masa-kun…" Ritsu cooed and she hugged him tightly smiling brightly as she did "I love you, Masa-kun"

Masamune buried his head in the side of her neck breathing in her scent with a content sigh "I love you too, Ritsu, so much it hurts"

"Really?" She asked

"Really" Masamune confirmed. They stayed like that for a while. Ritsu just holding Masamune while she let the information sink in shutting down her insecurities. When Ritsu pulled away Masamune watched her closely, smoothing her hair and cupping her face waiting for her to smile again. "And for the record, she's not better than you, nor will she ever be" Masamune stated firmly

"But-"

"Listen to me, Ritsu" Masamune cooed smoothing her hair "You are the most adorable girl I've ever met but at the same time you can be really fucking sexy – The night at the club is a prime example – She tried, and failed, to pick me up at the bar and all it did was piss me off – Yet you managed to work me up within seconds to the point where I didn't care we were at a club I just wanted to fuck you so hard. You could have any and all men give anything to be with you. Fuck, I would have rolled over like a dog if you had asked"

"M-masa-kun that's a bit…"

"You're also humble where she's vain and cocky" Masamune pointed out "She isn't nice, she's trying– and the key word is trying – to steal your boyfriend, that's not nice that's a bitch. She can try as much as she wants but I will never love her and I will never leave you" Masamune pressed a kiss to her lips and she responded immediately threading her hands in his hair "And as for experience – I don't want someone with experience, because that's not what this is about. I like knowing that no one else knows your body like I do, that no-body has touched or tasted it, that it's all mine. And that is a major turn on for me"

"But you never let me… well… I just thought maybe it was because I wasn't any good" Ritsu confided. Masamune kissed her again lifting her to straddle him and grinded his hips up. Ritsu cried out into the kiss.

"Trust me, baby, you make me feel so good just from touching me" Masamune panted "Just feel what you do to me" Masamune grabbed Ritsu's hands placing one over his heart. Ritsu's eyes widened flicking her eyes back to his that where filled with love. Under her hand his heart was racing in time with hers. Masamune raised the other one to his lips. "Don't feel like you have to do anything for me, Ritsu"

"Maybe I want to" Ritsu huffed

"Well you certainly don't have to ask for permission" Masamune grinned and Ritsu giggled smiling back and Masamune's smile turned soft. Ritsu leaned forward resting her ear on his heart and Masamune sighed contentedly. Ritsu giggled then grabbed Masamune hand resting it over her own racing heart and Ritsu glanced up and the two shared a love filled look

"Thank you Masa-kun, I feel so much better"

"Good" Masamune huffed "That means I'm doing my job" Masamune chuckled. Ritsu covered them with the blanket more snuggly before snuggling in for a nap on top of Masamune once they were both were laying down once again. Masamune didn't mind one bit feeling every inch of Ritsu's body pressed against his as he watched tv. It was a bit of bitter sweet as feeling her luscious curves pressed against him was both amazing yet torturous.

Masamune sighed again. All he wanted to do right then and there was show her how much he really cherished her, every inch of her, but it wasn't what she needed. Right now, Ritsu needed comfort and that is what Masamune would give her. Because she meant the world to him and he swore that if he ever saw that Roxanna again, he'll make her think twice before pulling this shit again
