FLUFF BEGINS HERE

It was bleak and dark outside with rain violently hitting against the windows and thunder muted all surrounding sounds with it's powerful crackling. A small girl of small statue with brown silky hair and beautiful hazel eyes woke up on a school table of sorts, the girl did not recognized her surroundings. She was scared because she was all alone in a creepy place that somewhat resembled her school that she went to, but she was alone. She got up and tried to look around the pitch black room she was in, but she didn't had a phone or anything else in that regard by her so she couldn't see in the dark, though she stop doors that lead to the outside of the classroom.

But then when she was getting close to the door they slammed open on their own as thunder hit on the outside illuminating the room for a split of a second with blue-ish light.

That girl was starting to freak out, there was something there with her, a ghost or a something, and she was all alone against it.

Then, the tables that were close to the door went flying around the classroom, as if some super natural thing was slowly but surely making it's way over to the little girl.

She run by most of the desks to get to the second door that was still closed, but the door was stuck, it would not open no matter how hard she tried to tug or twist the handle.

More and more tables got flipped upside down as "It" got closer. The girls started to really panic.

Another lighting hit right next by them, it filled the class with blue-ish light again, though this time it revealed a female ghost of some sorts that was chasing the girl.

It was a tall, long haired woman without clothes that had a heinous look on her face of dread and hate, to see that face would give anyone a nightmare.

The little girl got even more scared, and so she ran to the corner as she had no other way of running away anymore.

Though that didn't stopped the ghost lady who flipped all the tables and was closing in on the girl who was just a few meters away from her.

The little girl could not take it anymore, she sat in the corner and covered her face and hoped that the ghost lady would disappear and leave her alone as the ghost made it's way about a meter away from her.

Another lighting hit right next to them, which once again revealed the ghost lady preparing to attack the little girl with her hand that was more like a claw of some animal as the ghost turned into a mutated creature of some sorts.

The little girl peeped a bit and saw how horrific that thing looked, she thought it was all over for her, "How can i survive that thing?" She thought as she closed her eyes preparing to meet her maker.

Then, right before the creature took a swing against her quick footsteps could be heard from outside of the classroom, those footsteps quickly entered the classroom, and behind the monster, and then there was a struggle of some sorts from the monster as it fell down. The little girl was confused as to what happened, but she still had her eyes closed because she was still terrified of who defeated the monster.

That person came right next to her,

The girl started to open her eyes to see a very familiar face and voice, it was none other than Ryuuji Takasu, her boyfriend and the one who always comes to the rescue.

"It's okay Taiga, I'm here for you now" Ryuuji said as he reached out his hand towards her, the girl smiled and grabbed on to his hand which lead to him lifting her a bit and hugging her tightly, she started to cry a bit. And then darkness.

Taiga slowly opened her eyes and woke up. She realized that it was just another nightmare, or rather it would have been if it weren't for her prince in shinning armor Ryuuji.

She looked around where she was, because she didn't woke up completely yet, she noticed that she was still on a bus heading back to their home. Outside of the bus weather was as beautiful as it was before she went to sleep. It was a sunny bright day. Though most importantly, Taiga noticed that she was lying on Ryuuji's shoulder, which put a giant blush on her face that she was so close to him. Taiga would have stayed like that forever if it weren't for Ryuuji noticing she was already awake.

"Hey Taiga, how did you slept?" Ryuuji asked her as Taiga moved her head from his shoulder because she was getting embarrassed.

Ryuuji raised an eyebrow because he noticed her blush, and wondered why was she blushing now of all sudden.

Aisaka turned her head towards him

"Hey, Ryu. Well, i had this wierd dream where i was chased by a ghost lady of sorts, but then..." Another blush appeared on Taiga face as she realized again what she dreamt about, causing her to stop talking for a second and looking the other way.

Ryuuji raised another eyebrow that she stopped talking of all sudden

"What's up Taiga?" Takasu casually asked her, Aisaka hid her face in a red scarf that Ryuuji gave her on Christmas Eve. It still had his smell and it smelled great. But she couldn't tell him that, she would die of embarrassment if he knew.

"You saved me, and we hugged okay?" Taiga mumbled embarrassed underneath the scarf as she buried her face even deeper to the scarf.

Ryuuji blushed a little after hearing that, he looked away for a moment because he didn't wanted Taiga to see his blush, she would probably make some remark or call him names.

"W-Well i'm happy that i saved you" Ryuuji said embarrassed as well, he didn't wanted to admit it, but he found Taiga dreaming about him saving her extremely cute.

Finally with her blush finally being mostly gone she digged her face out of Ryuuji's scarf

"Yeah so am i, thank you for always saving me, even in my dreams you're always my knight in shinning armor" Taiga smiled as she tightly cuddled Ryuuji's arm, lied her head on his shoulder once again and closed her eyes.

Ryuuji did not expected that, so he recoiled a bit when Taiga touched him, not to mention he blushed a lot because of that, but soon enough he relaxed as he rested his head on hers.

It was a great feeling for both of them, being in each other's presence and because they could hear each other's heartbeat, which were beating like crazy due to them being so close next to each other, but they were beating on the same rhythm.

Once those hearts were rough and cold to each other, but eventually they turned to silky and warm towards each other.

And soon enough without realizing it they both fell asleep in each other's arms.

Kawashima was looking and listening to them talking from the back seat, because she sat not even 2 seats away from them. Hearing them being so lovey doughy made her heart ache, but she knew that soon enough she would be in Taiga's position, being in his arms and loved by him. It would only take a little push if she tried, but again it wasn't the right time.

"Hey, Ami? Are you okay? You space out a lot today" One of her friends brought her back to reality, Ami turned towards her with a smile and her fake facade

"Of course i am, sorry i was just thinking of something" Kawashima beamed at her friend, who had a mischievous smile on her face

"Oh, is it a boy?" Her friend asked with a grin on her face

"You're in love Ami?" her other friend who was sitting across her shouted, Ami put her hand over her face because she started blushing.

"Yeah, something like that" She smiled in embarrassment. Her two friends exploded from hearing the news

"Whoa, no way! Who's the lucky guy? He must be like super hot, and rich because a model like you can get a guy like that" the friend who was sitting next to her shouted. Kawashima regretted telling them the truth, so she laughed and played dumb lwith her fake facade as he always did infront of others.

Other students who were near Ami's seat overheard the conversation and soon enough the whole bus exploded after hearing the news.

Sentences and questions like "Who are you in love with?" and "Ami surely is in love with me", "Oh my god, i actually have a chance!" were heard all across the bus. Everyone was in shock and awe, except for 3 people. And she wanted one of those people to care, because he was the guy she loved.

The second person was Taiga, and the last person was.. Minorin Kushieda.

She looked at Ami with disgust in her eyes, though Kawashima did not noticed because she was getting people to calm down. But Minorin wouldn't calm down because she knew exactly who that person was, and she vowed to protect Ryuuji's and Taiga's relationship no matter what happened, even if it hurt her. She gave up on her love for Ryuuji just so Taiga would be with Ryuuji and she wouldn't let it get ruined by Kawashima.

Though she couldn't do anything to her right now which was a curse and a blessing at the same time, so she decided she would wait until the next day in school.

And with that, everyone soon enough piped down from the scandal that Ami Kawashima was in love and they all went on their merry way home.

Few hours later.

Ryuuji slowly opened his dangerous looking eyes because he heard people walking and rumbling all around him.

He noticed people walking out of the bus. Ryuuji was bit confused at that, he looked outside the window, the beautiful sunny day was replaced by dark night and a moon hovering above everyone. Takasu quickly checked his cell phone with his free hand, because Taiga was still clenching onto his right arm even in sleep.

It was 19:45, aka the time that they were supposed to arrive at the school. Ryuuji panicked a bit because they were the last people still in bus.

Takasu looked over to Aisaka, who was sleeping like a beautiful doll once again, he didn't wanted to wake her up, because she looked so peaceful, but he had no choice, they had to get home.

So Ryuuji shook her shoulder lightly to wake her up

"Wake up Taiga, we're here" Ryuuji whispered into Taiga's ear, waking her up.

"C'mon let me sleep for 5 more minutes" Taiga pleaded Ryuuji as she cuddled his arm once again, normally he wouldn't have problem with that, but they really needed to go, and he could tell the bus driver wasn't in a good mood.

"Taiga, c'mon we have to go!" Ryuuji shouted at Taiga as he shook her shoulder more violently now.

"Okay, geez why you have to be so annoying about it? " Taiga said grumpily, she didn't liked waking up earlier than she should be, and when she did she got very grumpy and grouchy, Ryuuji learned that the hard way.

Aisaka yawned and rubbed her eyes to properly wake up because she was still half asleep. Ryuuji wasted no time and got up from his seat and offered a hand to her which she happily took. Though that still caused a bit of a blush to appear on Ryuuji's face because he still wasn't used to holding hands with girls, especially with such a cute girl like Taiga.

They quickly made their way outside of the bus, where it was pitch black, so much so that you couldn't see 2-3 meters ahead of them.

They reached the storage for luggage in the bus underneath the seats and took their luggage filled with their clothes and other accessories and started walking home.

They would talk with the rest of the students or the teachers but they were so late everyone was already gone, well atleast for one person.

Minorin watched from afar, though the couple did not see her because it was that dark.

She wanted to tell Ryuuji or Taiga that Ami was planning to do something to them to split them apart so she can date Ryuuji, but she didn't had the strength, not after what happened a few hours ago in the bathroom, she couldn't face Ryuuji or Taiga now because of it. So she just walked away with tears forming in her eyes again, she wiped them away as they fell on the dark pavement.

"Hey, i forgot to ask before we went on the bus, What were you talking about with your mother? She looked really worried about you, then she looked really pissed off" Ryuuji asked Taiga as he walked towards his home with luggage in his one hand, and Taiga's little hand in the other.

"She was just worried that i wasn't okay, and as for why she was pissed, she wanted me to hang out with her for a day or two, which sounded really tempting because it was ages since i last did that with my mom, but i passed on that because i wanted to be with you for a while, seeing as we're c-couple and all" Taiga said nervously as she smiled and blushed, she still wasn't used to the fact that they were dating, it was surreal to her, and it was same for Ryuuji.

Ryuuji blushed extremely after hearing that, because it made him very happy that he meant so much to her, which made his heart beat quickly, even faster than before, so much so he felt like he was having a heart attack.

"W-Well, Thank you for choosing me then." Ryuuji bumbled, his heart was still in the skies and so was his head apparently, that didn't stopped Taiga from scooching closer to Ryuuji and rubbing his arm with hers.

"I can say the same thing Ryuuji" Taiga smiled as they both giggled together on how rediculous they both were as they kept on walking happily holding hands.

Truly they were both the happiest they ever been before, and they couldn't do it without each other's love.

They kept going for a few minutes without saying anything, rather they just enjoyed the peacefulness and beautie of the moment.

Though that eventually had to stop

"Hey Taiga? i wonder what should i make us for dinner?" Ryuuji broke the peaceful silence they were both enjoying, but he really needed to ask that question because he couldn't leave Taiga without any food like that.

"That's up to you Ryuuji, I'll eat whatever you make me, because i love your food, and i love you." Taiga said as she mumbled the last part into her scarf, but Ryuuji heard it very well and so he blushed extremely after realizing that she went ahead and said it like that. He looked away and out on a pouty face because he didn't wanted Taiga to throw the word out like that.

"I-idiot, stop saying that, that word is gonna lose the meaning" Ryuuji said in a attitude that fitted more to Taiga than him, but it was probably because he adopted her mannerisms now that they were dating and all.

"It wont, because in my heart it will always have the same meaning" Taiga smiled at Ryuuji who she thought was still pouting, but in reality he wasn't pouting anymore he was just hiding his blush from how cute she was.

"A-anyways, I'm gonna make us pork cutlets because we're a couple now, and i know how much you love them" Ryuuji said as he turned his back towards Taiga again

"Thank you Ryuuji for spoiling me so much!" Taiga smiled as she threw herself in a hug towards her boyfriend affectionately, it threw Ryuuji a off of balance a bit, but he caught her.

Though he had to drop his luggage, but so did Taiga when she launched herself at him.

They both hugged each other and eventually their gaze met, both of them just kept at each other. Ryuuji looked into her beautiful hazel coloured eyes and flawless doll like face, as Taiga looked into his delinquent looking eyes that would normally scare anyone away, but they were beautiful in her eyes because she knew they belonged to a person with a great heart.

"T-Taiga?" Ryuuji asked her as he kept glaring on her

"Yeah?" she nodded

"I love you too" He said as he looked her in the eyes, which was quite a challenge because he couldn't look away straight away. Though he did right afterwards because he was embarrassed.

Taiga smiled and reached to take his hand, as they went on their way home

A few minutes later.

They went to the store, to get the ingredients needed for dinner and the they walked back to Ryuuji's place.

Takasu was in the kitchen making the cutlets whilst Taiga played with Inko in the living room, she poked her around and did other things to the poor bird like she always did. Though this time she wasn't really mean to the bird, it seemed like she started liking the bird. 'Fugly' kind of reminded her of Ryuuji in a way.

A very heavy thought dawned on Taiga. She was just sitting around, eating all the food all the time without really giving Ryuuji anything, and never making him any food herself, and because of that she felt really guilty, so she wanted to help out Ryuuji in the kitchen, especially now that they were couple and all, and also that maybe they were gonna get... married...

That thought made Taiga extremely happy and made her blush extremely as well, as even just the slightest of possibility of being with Ryuuji until the end of time was simply incredible to her.

Aisaka smiled, got up and walked into the kitchen to see Ryuuji preparing the food.

She walked up behind him and hugged him from behind

"Hey Ryuuji, do you think i can help you make the food?" Taiga looked at Ryuuji with a grin on her face, he turned his head towards her

"Well, i'm almost done so i doubt there's anything you can help with, but thank you either way for wanting to help" Ryuuji smiled at her, but she put on a pouty face instead, because she really wanted to help, and it just seemed to her he didn't wanted having her around because she would mess it up, he always calls her a klutz after all.

"Look i'm sorry Taiga, but the food really is almost done, there isn't much if anything you can help with" Ryuuji said apologetically, he seen that she really wanted to help him but there wasn't much to help with.

She still pouted as she crossed her arms into an x

"Fine, but i'm gonna cook you something myself next time you hear!" Taiga demanded as she continued to look away angrily.

"Okay, Okay, you can make the food next time, but please don't burn the house down." Takasu begged Aisaka who was still pouting with her arms crossed

"Do you think i'm that bad in the kitchen?! I'll show you, just you see" Taiga said in her tsundere attitude, though she didn't called him any names, which was quite the step up for her usual self, by that time she would already drop kick him or something.

"Okay, well i can't wait then. I haven't tasted anything from you yet i believe.. " he said as rubbed his jaw and looked off to the distance to remember if she ever did make him some food, though no memory came up about it.

"No, you haven't. so prepare to get blown away!" Taiga shouted as her poutiness disappeared in the matter of seconds and as she pumped her fist in the air to show how fired up she was about that idea.

"I already am Taiga, i know it's gonna be great because it's gonna be made by you, anyways look umm, i'll be done here in like 10 minutes max, so just wait for me okay? " Ryuuji asked Taiga nicely, she nodded and walked off with a giant grin on her face and thinking how much of a great boyfriend she has.

10 minutes later.

Ryuuji walked into the living room with two plates in his hands, of course he left a plate for Yasuko later when she returned from work on the kitchen table as he usually does.

When Taiga saw and smelled how great the cutlets turned out her eyes lit up like a Christmas tree, and she couldn't wait to eat it. Takasu put the plates down and sat down by her, in the matter of milliseconds after putting the plates down she started devouring the cutlets mercilessly. He started eating it as well and was surprised on how well it turned out. He couldn't really blame Taiga that she ate it so vigorously, it was that tasty.

Them eating together next to each other was very beautiful, It felt like they were a normal family. Though they kinda already were before according to Yasuko, but they weren't dating so it didn't counted that much.

They ate together in peace and in the matter of a few minutes they both finished eating their plates.

"I'm stuffed, Thank you Ryuuji for the cutlets, they were really good" Taiga smiled at Ryuuji. Tiger is the most happiest when it's fed, and that couldn't be more true to Taiga as well.

"Well thank you Taiga, I'm happy you liked it so much" Ryuuji smiled back at her as he picked up the plates and went to the kitchen to clean them up. As he rinsed and cleaned the plates with a sponge thoroughly he noticed a time on a clock that was on the wall, It was 22:25, which was very late even for sleepover standards.

"Hey Taiga, it's getting really late. We should go to sleep" Ryuuji shouted to Taiga who was still sitting in the living room

A mischievous smile formed across her face, she was up to something.

"Yeah, we should" Aisaka shouted back to Takasu who was still in kitchen as she ran to his room, though Takasu had no idea about that.

"Then are you going home then or what?" Ryuuji asked her with a bit of a sad tone, he really didn't wanted Taiga to leave, but he couldn't stop her if she wanted to go home. He finished cleaning the plates so he took them and placed them next to the others extremely clean plates because they already dried up. Though something was a bit off. Ryuuji didn't heard Taiga respond, so he came looking for her in the living room.

Ryuuji looked in the living room to see noone there, his heart sunk a bit. Did she just left without saying anything?

He checked the balcony to find her window closed, so she couldn't have gone there, but then where was she?

She couldn't have ran to the bathroom, he would have heard her as it's right next to the kitchen. So that left two other rooms, she was either in Yasuko's room, or she was in his room.

A giant blush appeared on his face because of something in his room, that something was a box of some sorts, that box was very similar to Kushieda's box in the regard that Takasu was making it for if they started dating, and he sort of made a box for Taiga as well, and he didn't wanted her to see that because he would fall through the earth with embarrassment if she did.

Ryuuji quickly walked over to his room to see if Taiga was there, and more importantly what was she doing there.

And there she was, standing in the middle of the room with two futons set up next to each other, it was like a family bed, which put even larger blush on Takasu's face.

"W-What are you doing Taiga?" Ryuuji asked nervously, he wasn't sure what that was all about.

"Well, since we're a couple i decided it only makes sense if we sleep next to each other, Any problem with that?" Taiga said mostly nicely, but at the end turned into her tsundere attitude once again, though she meant nothing bad of it, she just really wanted to sleep next to Ryuuji, he shook his head into a no.

"No, There isn't any problem ma'am, you just surprised me is all." Ryuuji said as he rubbed his head and looked away in embarrassment because of the blush.

Taiga smiled like a sun that he didn't minded sleeping like that, everything was working out greatly in Taiga's plan.

"Okay, well what are waiting for? Lie down and i'll turn the lights off" Taiga demanded for Ryuuji to go lie down, though he rebelled a bit which caused Taiga to tug on his shirt.

"It's okay, i can take care of that" Ryuuji said as he turned around to turn off the lights, Taiga still tugged on his shirt, more violently this time

"I said, Go lie down!" Taiga shouted at Ryuuji with her tsundere attitude as she tugged even harder on his shirt somehow, almost sending him flying by how much force she put up into that.

"Okay Geez, you don't have to be so pushy about it" Ryuuji said as he walked back to the futons after she released his shirt from her hold.

Taiga smiled that her plan is gonna work out exactly how she envisioned,

It was still just unreal that he's gonna sleep so close to her, will he be even able to sleep like that? He didn't knew himself.

Taiga on the other hand was skipping around Ryuuji's home humming to herself as she turned the lights off around his house, her plan was surely gonna work.

Ryuuji lied on the floor and looked out of his window and onto the sky to see starts as beautiful as they could look shinning across the dark sky. It reminded him of Taiga in a way, then he started thinking just how close he got with Taiga in the last year alone. How many times their plan to start dating Minorin and Kitamura always back fired, but how they got close with each other because of it. How many times they laughed, how many times they cried, how many times they all screamed at each other. It all gave Ryuuji great memories of the past. Though he started wondering for a while now, and that was when did he really started having feelings for her? Takasu couldn't really point it to a single day, but he knew he loved her for a long time, he just didn't knew it himself, or maybe he just didn't wanted to admit.

Taiga finally turned all the lights off and skipped off to Ryuuji's room again.

"Hey Ryuuji? Can you raise your left arm?" Taiga asked Ryuuji with a giant blush on her face from thinking what she was about to do

Takasu gulped as to what she had plans for him, he knew that she had something in plan.

He did just as she told him, though reluctantly at first. In the matter of seconds Taiga ran over to her futon and jumped in it as she lied her head on Ryuuji's arm with a giant grin on her face.

"W-Whoa, T-Taiga?" Ryuuji shouted towards his girlfriend who made her home on his arm. His face lit up with blush, because he did expected Taiga to do that, then again she was full of suprises all day. She was so close to him, because of that his heart beat went through the roof and his blush got even redder somehow. Though that wasn't the end of things unfortunately for Ryuuji's heart.

Taiga then rolled to her right side and lied her head on his chest practically just listening to his heartbeat, It was a beautiful thing for Taiga because she could tell just how much Ryuuji loved her by how wildly his heart beat. They both lied like that for a while until Ryuuji finally decided he wanted to be as close to her as he possibly could, so he took his left arm that was now freed because she and rolled it around Taiga's small frame, which pulled her even closer to him causing her to blush more than she already was before. She was practically melting into him at that point and she loved every single second of it

"Goodnight Taiga" Ryuuji said to her as he kissed her on the head.

"G-Goodnight Ryuuji" Taiga said back to Ryuuji, though she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep after that.

End of Chapter 3 - Silky Hearts

22/11/19 23:55 My head hurts a lot, but i almost have it done (about 600 ish words left) so i'm gonna finish it today, but it might suck. So i'll ran a new draft tomorrow see if i can make it better.

23/11/19 0:35 I give up, i'm too tired to continue, more i write the more it sucks, so i decided it would for the best if i went to sleep now and finish it tomorrow morning and be happy with it rather than write it now and be unhappy with it because i can't focus because i'm tired.

24/11/19 21:22 Finally found some time to start writing again, i just need to finish the chapter which should be in a sec, maybe gonna make a new draft, a add a few lines to make it a bit better, run it through a spell checker and hopefully should have it done in a hour, hour and a half.
