Her first impulse was to push him away. To break loose of the hold his blue eyes had on hers and run.
He only stood there, smiling. It was a sweet, patient smile that quietly asked for more from her, but would wait ages by her side if necessary.
The young man stayed watching as she made her decision. On the inside his thoughts were a mess. He had been so confident just a few seconds ago that she might actually say yes, but as time was passing so seemingly slow his confidence was draining. He could hear the sound of a clock ticking softly somewhere in the house.
Her voice trembled quietly, disrupting the soft tick, "Kaito…" she began, her tone sounded apologetic and the young blue haired man braced himself for the worst, his fingers curling into fists. "You know me. You already know that I'm terrible with words." She continued.
He looked at her intently, surprised and hopeful at the same time. "So then, you don't need to tell me..." He started, blush spreading across his cheeks at the realization that she hadn't said no.
"If there's a chance that you do love me, show me." His heart pounded in anticipation.
Meiko hesitated for a moment, but then cautiously stepped closer to him, wrapping her arms around his neck. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him gently on the cheek. She rested her head on his chest, trying to hide her reddened face.
His dark blue eyes grew wide. Was this really happening? He was ecstatic and the only words he could manage to spill out were "Just on the cheek?"
Meiko looked at his face, he was whining, but there were tears in his eyes. She smiled. "Why are you crying?" she asked, teasingly, bringing up her pajama sleeve to wipe his tears.
"Meiko…" his voice shook. "Meiko, Meiko, Meiko… I Love you. I love you, Meiko." More tears streamed down his cheeks as he grabbed hold of her hands, putting them up to his face.
Meiko blushed bright red. "Stop crying." She said quietly, resting her forehead on his. "I don't like crybabies." she added, smiling at how adorable his teary face was.
He leaned in near her, completely closing the space between them as his lips touched hers, softly, warmly. They drew back and he bent down again for more. His cheeks glowed crimson and he suddenly fell back against the door, Meiko falling down with him.
"Sorry…" he said quietly. "My legs gave in. I guess I'm just not used to all of this."
"Same…" Meiko muttered.
The two sat reclined against the door, Meiko in Kaito's lap and his arms wrapped protectively around her.
"Meiko…" the blue haired young man began, brushing a few strands of chocolate hair out of her face.
"Hmm?" she mumbled, fiddling with his scarf.
It seemed as though the two were already accustomed to being together like this, it just seemed so natural.
"This means I get to call you my girlfriend now… right?"
Meiko looked at him, he could read her expression perfectly well. Do you REALLY need to ask that? Is what it was telling him.
He laughed, squeezing her tightly and burying his face in her shoulder.
"You're going to suffocate me, Kaito." She coughed. She turned her head to look at the clock, it read 2 AM in bold red numerals. "Woah- how long have we been sitting here? You should get to bed now, Kaito." She said, attempting to stand up.
"I don't wanna." He whined like a little kid, refusing to release his grip on her. "I want to stay with you."
"You haven't even changed out of your uniform." Meiko argued. "Go to your room."
"Only if you give me a goodnight kiss." Kaito smirked.
"No." Meiko answered bluntly. She didn't really want him to leave either, but she was never honest.
"Fine, then I get to give you a goodnight kiss." His lips brush hers gently before she had any time to refuse. He got up, pulling Meiko up with him.
"Good night" he said, peering through a small gap in the doorway as he closed the door behind him. As soon as it was shut he celebrated spastically, walking over to his room. He was absolutely euphoric.
Meiko sunk down on the other side of the door. Clutching her heart, she felt inexplicably warm and a quiet smile crept up on her lips.
This was love…
OhMyGoodness, so much fluff. (Was that too much?)
They're finally togetherrrrrr! Took them eleven chapters. gosshhh
I hope this chapter was worth the wait. It took me forever to decide what direction to take this chapter. At first I was going to put in some drama, but then, I was like, "Efff that. I don't even like drama." So it lead to this. Fluff. Lots of fluff. (I like fluff, okay?)
I'm so bad at KaiMei. gguhhhh
Anyway, thank you so very much for reading! Please do leave me a review. Please? I like reading people's comments on my work even if you think they're pointless. (They're not to me, I promise. :] )
Until next time!
