(After an hour)

Ritsuka looked at the clock.

"I think i should get going. It's getting late." Said Ritsuka as she stood up from the couch.

"I'll drop you in the limo." Said Rem.

"No no it's ok. I don't want to go in a limo. I'll just walk." Ritsuka said.

"No Ritsuka, a girl shouldn't be out alone at this time. Rem's right. Let him drop you. You both can just walk." Said Shouko.

"Aww I thought you were going to stay tonight." Said julie pouting.

"Oh I'm sorry but i'll come some other day."

"Let's go Ritsuka." Said Rem standing up. Ritsuka nodded.

Everybody went outside.

"Bye Ritsuka" said julie.

"Don't forget to visit again. Give my regards to Maria." Said Shouko as she hugged her.

"Bwye Rwitshuka! Cwome home agwain!" Said Yuno.

"Yeah visit again."

"Ok i promise!" Ritsuka said she ruffled their hairs.

"Come on let's go already." Rem was irritated. Then both started walking outside.

Both were walking one busy at gazing at the starry sky and the other was busy at staring at the person beside her. Ritsuka noticed Rem's eyes on her.

"Why are you staring at me?" Asked Ritsuka still looking at stars.

"I was just wondering how you know everything about me." Rem said.

"I told you i find myself in you. I think we both are similar."

"How so?"

"We both are called cold for are behaviour towards others. We both don't even know who we really are. We both hate our selves ."

Ritsuka looked at Rem and smiled. "We both see ourselves as monsters. We both are lost."

Rem looked at her. He could see the sadness and emptiness in those eyes.

"There are differences too. Like,

Your always cold but i'm only cold to them who are cold to me. You wear a mask to scare others and hide yourself, and i wear a mask to protect myself. I'm always afraid that i'll get closer to people and they'll leave me. Thats why, i always act cold and brave towards others. I don't like to be weak but i am weak. I try my best to hide that fact." Rem's eyes widened.

"It's silly right?" Ritsuka said as she laughed a little. She felt him stop walking. She looked back at him.

"That's right." Rem said in low voice looking down. "We're similar. I...I don't hate myself. I always feel like a monster. Someone who doesn't deserve happiness. Someone who doesn't deserve to be loved."

Ritsuka walked up to him. Then suddenly Rem felt her arms around him. She hugged him.

"W-what are you-?!" Rem asked surprised.

"It's ok. I feel the same. And you know whenever i feel this way, i want someone to hug me and comfort me. Isn't it relaxing?"

Rem felt extremely comfortable and relaxed. He wrapped his arms around her too. After a minute Ritsuka broke the hug.

"Lets go!" Ritsuka grabbed his hand as they both started walking.

They both reached at her mansion and saw her mother standing outside. "Mom!"

"Ritsuka you're finally back. I was worried." Her mother said worriedly.

"Come on mom stop being so worried. Oh i forgot to introduce you. Mother, this Is Rem."

Her mother looked at him.

"Is that you Rem? You've grown up. You were so small back then."

Rem bowed a little. "It's nice to meet you Mrs Tachibana."

"Call me Maria. And do you want to come inside with us?"

"No thanks, i just came to drop Ritsuka." Said Rem.

"Oh thanks you so much for looking after her. Bye then good night."

Maria went inside. Ritsuka stopped at went back to Rem. She came closer and stood on her tip toes. Her lips lightly met his cheek.

"Every one deserves a little happiness and love." She whispered. " good night Rem!" And with that she went inside, leaving the man froze.

(At night)

Both laid awake on their beds. Thinking about their incidents.

Ritsuka's POV

Today was a very nice day. I'm happy i went to Shouko's house. It was fun being in a joint family. I smiled. I hope Rem doesn't misunderstand me. I just wanted to comfort him.

Then suddenly i remembered the embarrassing dinner. I blushed and chuckled at the same time. I pushed all thoughts and went to sleep.

Rem's POV

I laid wide awake in my bed. Today was a long day. I remembered my talk with Ritsuka. I blushed a little. I've never talked to anyone like that. Somehow i feel free whenever I'm with her. I let my guards down.

She kissed my cheek to wish me a good night but I'm having a hard time in sleeping just because of it. Who knows what that angel is doing to me, is she putting a spell on me or something? I felt myself falling asleep slowly.
