Melting
By Castianna
Rachels eyes went wide. Ryou smiled up at her. "Rachel. Will you marry me?" He asked. Rachel was speechless. Her eyes were shining and her smile was a mile wide, All she could manage was to throw her arms about his neck and kiss him. Giving him a very clear answer.
Back at Ashley's appartment. The make out session was going alot further than either one of them thought it would go. They were breathing heavily and their movements were frantic. Seto moved his hand undo her pants bt Ashley put her hand over his to stop him. "Not tonight..." She said on a ragged breath. Seto sat up and helped her up as well. "Im sorry." He said. Ashley shook her head. "Dont be sorry. Its my fault really...I think we should take it a bit slower is all. I mean I like you..but fast is ever good." She sighed and leaned back against the couch cushions.
Seto stood up and walked down the hall to the bathroom. He closed the door and looked at himself in the mirrior. 'What were you thinking?' he asked himself. 'Of course she hates you, after how you treated her that day.' he sat on the side of the tub and put his head in his hands.
Ashley realised that he still hadnt come back...being the curious type she wandered down the hall. She stopped at the bathroom door, She paused and then knocked. "Seto...are you ok?" She asked.
"Im fine." Was his half growled reply. 'Great, now I've made him moody again.' She sighed then turned and walked into her room. Closeing the door and laying down on the bed.
Rachel pulled back fromthe kiss and looked Ryou in the eyes. "I never thought you would get the courage to evenaske me out." She teased. "But instead you go and ask me to marry you." Her eyes were dancing with happiness.
Ryou blushed and looked at his feet. "Well...I couldnt stand waiting another day. I have loved you for three years Rachel...and As I watched my older brother break your heart and then Yami right after that, It broke my heart two." He said passionately and then kissed her again.
Rachel pulled away from the kiss. "I want to tell you now Ryou. I have always cared for you...But recently I realised that those feelings were more than just friendship..I love you to." She said. They shared another passionate embrace before they decided that they needed to part ways due to the fact that they both had to teach the next day.
Ryou made his way upstairs in a daze. He entered his house and locked the door behind him. He walked down the hall and fell into bed. His mind filled with beautiful dreams of his future with his fiance.
Seto left the bathroom some time after midnight, He was passing Ashleys room, The door was closed. He placed his hand over the handle. He slowly turned it and the door swung open. Her bedside light was on and he could see the dry salty trails down her cheeks left by the tears she had cried. Seto, not being acostomed to this kind of situation left the room quickly and the appartment even quicker. The main door closed with a quiet thud.
