DISCLAIMER: I DON'T own anything of Itazura na Kiss.

Author's Note: A serious lack of Keita/Kotoko works here, I'll single handedly fix that error! Bare with me on the shortness.

Review Responses (THANK YOU for taking the time too):

Distance Makes the Heart Bleed:

BearfootTruck: Sadly yes, well not really mine. Just lots of family obligations. Awww, love how we inspire one another. True, after all the listing I gave was wow. I mean crossovers that didn't make it into the final decision. Maybe someday. . . Or really not. I did send you a link to my favorite episode (4: Lady versus Virgin?) of all 12.

RonaldM40196867: Reviewed all 4 chapters sweet! Good, stay excited things are going to get steamy and very crazy. Yeah. . .. no she doesn't, not at all. Oh definitely, it be so much fun! Thanks for the Favorite/Follow here.

elijahhedgemond: Right on, that's all we can do. Think of Lukanette, the love and positivity they share. My Adrigami helps me in those dark days. Good, I'm glad this chapter helped some.

"AH! YES! I DID IT!"

"Kotoko, inside voice please!"

He states through harsh whispers, as her usual outbursts in the hospital walls. Her light brown eyes stare up into his ebony ones. Sheepish giggles escape her, tho as he looks away upset, a blush takes his face.

Of course he can't fault her for the enthusiasm. Not the sharpest knife in the draw, still she works harder then most. He smirks down at the multiple mangled up, wrong wrapped medical gauze, to the very last one straight and perfectly placed. Taking her right hand into his own tanned right one, his lips feathery brush against her knuckles. Sadly he never sees the rosy blush that consumes her whole face.

"Kei- Keita. . ."

He shouldn't be, but he always is. That this practically weighing nothing young woman can embrace him so tightly. Joyous tears race down her hot embarrassed face.

"Thank you for believing in me! For accepting me!" Her face buried in his chest, the smile he gives her so heart melting. Sadly she doesn't see it, still he leans over, kissing her brunette ringlet pigtails head.

"I always will. How about after our shifts we head to Kin's restaurant? I'm sure Chris would love to see you."

"You're too good to me!"

THE END!
