"Happy? You seriously think that I would be happy, Mai?" His voice was dangerously low. Before Mai could open her mouth to argue, Naru interrupt her,
"You think I would be happy to loose someone precious to me!? I can't even describe my own feelings when I lost Gene! And I can't stand loosing someone I love anymore!" He yelled.
Mai stared at him dumbfounded, not believing what he said, he… Oliver… Naru…. Wha… Naru… loves me?
Normal POV
Silence filled the room as Mai and Naru stared at each other. Mai's eyes were wide open, so wide that saying her eyes looked like a baseball would be an understatement. As for Naru, his eyes were wide too, staring at Mai's brown orbs, he wasn't expecting himself to confess like that… in that situation. As silence continued to fill the room, Naru felt uneasy, he averted his eyes from Mai's and he was expecting Mai to slap him or something now, but it never came.
He slowly turned his gaze back to Mai, only to see warm liquid pouring from her eyes. Her eyes were filled with surprise, and happiness…?
"You... love me?" Mai's voice was heard, small yet clear.
Naru hesitated, how could something like that slip from his mouth? Damn it, he wasn't expecting himself to confess to her in the hospital… he mentally slapped himself. He was planning on confessing to her the other day when he went to her house, then it was ruined because she collapsed, and now he is confessing his love to her in a hospital room? Great job Oliver he noted himself, and all his 'confess- training- simulation' he had in his head had gone to waste.
But Naru understood, if he misses this chance, he would never have her, ever. Throwing his pride away, he pulled Mai into a tight hug.
"Yes Mai, I love you. I do. I'm sorry Mai, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for saying something stupid, I'm sorry that I've hurt you bad, I'm sorry for not realizing this feeling earlier. I love you." Naru said softly, whispering to her ears. Mai couldn't do anything, she froze, and it took awhile to generate the things Naru said earlier. She stared the ceiling for a while, and then slowly turned her head, meeting Naru's beautiful eyes that showed pain, and sadness, his eyes pleading her to listen to him.
Tears flowed again from Mai's eyes, and expect the unexpected; she hugged him back. Hiding her face to his left shoulder, he could hear small hiccups escaping from her lips.
They stayed like that for few minutes, enjoying every second in each of their embrace.
"Mai?" Naru said, gently stroking her hair. He waited for her to answer and what he got was a hiccup, he smiled at that. "I love you" he continued.
Mai took a deep breath, and slowly she said between her hiccups "I *hiccup* hate *hiccup* you!" Naru shot up and stared her in disbelief and mentally cursing himself. But before he could say anything she continued,
"I *hiccup* hate *hiccup* you *hiccup* what *hiccup* took *hiccup* you *hiccup* so *hiccup* long! *hiccup* baka!" tears sliding from her face to her hair.
"I *hiccup* love *hiccup* you *hiccup* too *hiccup* BAKA!" she said emphasizing on the 'baka' clearly.
From having a disbelieving look Naru soon smiled, a genuine one. He once again hugged Mai as if she was a giant teddy bear, kissing her hair and cheek.
Mai sat up with Naru helping her; he held her hand as he smiled warmly at her. Naru was not the type of person showing his emotions and smiling goofily at someone but he couldn't help it, he loves her so much that he would do anything for her. Even if it means to wear something other than black.
Mai was looking downwards to her hands, a small blush colored her pale cheek, she eyed her hand that was still being held by Naru, she couldn't help but smile. He loves her. And she loves him too. Their feelings were mutual.
"Mai," she heard, she looked at her former boss with curiosity, "Yes Naru?" she answered. The look on him was serious, and she guessed that he would ask her to work for him again, being a workaholic as usual. But what came next wasn't an offer for a job and it wasn't an insult either. What came next wasn't what Mai had expected Naru would say, actually she didn't even know Naru could say such thing. Her eyes went wide as he said,
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
