D.N.Angel: The return of Dark and Krad.

"yes?" said Kairi she looked up a liitl, to look at Sota. She looked into his eyes, then looked him agian.

 

Sota gulped again, closing his eyes. He was just too ashamed to admit this.

"There's something I wanted to tell you earlier," he started, still flying straight, "but after the fan club interrupted, I started thinking," they were starting to see more trees, "...we've become fairly close, now, and I like where we are. The thing is," he opened his eyes, and looked into hers. He was scared to death, "...if I tell you this, there's a good chance I may spook you. My telling you this...well, it risks what we have, and I really don't want to..." Blast it, why was it so hard to find the right words for not wanting to lose her?

 

Kair looked back at Sota, looking back into his eyes, She would like to know, but she then stopped and thought for a second, it risks what we have...thought Kairi, she closed her eyes thinking about what to answer and how to do it. "if you don't want to tell me, you don't have to." said Kairi.

 

Sota shut his eyes, shaking his head, "No, I want to...I really want to tell you, but," he opened his eyes, looking straight ahead, taking deep breaths. Finally, he looked into her eyes again, "Kairi, if I tell you this...will you be completely honest with me? If it's too soon, if it's too much, you don't know, completely honest?"

 

Kairi looked at sota, slightly confused, "I'll be honest...I'll be completely honest, I...I promise." said Kairi.

 

Sota landed softly at the spot he described to Kairi, gently set her down, but didn't let go of her; he still had his hands on her arms. He closed his eyes, took several deep breaths, opened them again, and tried to speak calmly, trying hard not to show how scared he was.

"...I love you, Kairi Dismuke," he said, his voice cracking slightly, "I know that we're only now starting off serious, and this is jumping much faster than either of us agreed on, but I am so in love with you. Every moment I've shared with you up until now has just...I wouldn't share them with anyone else." He looked away, "I know this...it makes things more complicated, my jumping forward like this..."

 

Kairi stood there silent for a minute, she was thinking of what to say. She sighed, half relieed, it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. "Sota, it's okay..." said Kairi she smiled slightly, "I...I love you too....I guess it is okay if you jump forward..." She looked at sot and then she hugged him. her face turned slightly red, and it felt hot.

 

Sota hugged her after as she said that. He hugged her as tight as he could, wanting to never let go of her. He wrapped themselves up with With's wings, as tears were slowly falling from his cheeks.

"I'm sorry I scared you, Kairi," he managed, barely making a whisper, "I just...with all that's been going on, the stress of being sick, plus that fan club trying to push at you, I thought...I was sure if I told you now, it would be the straw that broke the camel's back."

 

"Sota..." said Kairi she thought of something to say, something to comfurt him, "It's okay, The stress from the sickness has worn off so, you don't have to worry about that." She looked at his face, seeing the tears, she closed her eyes. "no matter what, I will love you."

 

Sota nodded, after saying that, and weakly smiled. He slowly released her, and wiped his eyes, "Man...this weather, huh?" he joked, trying to wipe all the tears away, quickly. He unwrapped themselves from With's wings, and Sota cleared his throat, "So, umm...*ahem*....you hungry? It's almost time to eat, and we don't have to worry about," he looked around, "...anyone...not even bears, it looks like." He shrugged, with an 'I don't know what else to add' face.

 

kairi smiled, "Sure, let's eat." said Kairi she laughed slightly looking at sota. She then looked up at the sky,

 

Sota smiled, and nodded, wiping the last of his tears away. He reached into one of his packs, and pulled out a few blankets, and spread one of them out to sit on. He put the picknick basket out on top of it, and opened it up.

"Help yourself," he said, "I wasn't sure what to bring on this little outing, so there's pretty much everything under the sun in there." He sat down, leaning against a tree next to a blanket. After all that just happened, Sota was wiped out.

 

Kairi looked at sota, slightly worried, She then looked at the food, think of what she wanted. "Oaky..." said Kairi.

 

Sota saw the concern on Kairi's face, and laughed slightly, "There's nothing wrong with me, honest," he said, taking a few deep breaths, "I just flew the two of us for 45 minutes, scared the two of us halfway to death, I'm starting to get a little hungry, and I just told my," he started to blush a little, "...my girlfriend that I loved her. It's been a very nerve-wracking hour." He smiled, moved from the tree, and hugged Kairi from behind.

"I'm not lying to you. Honest, I'm fine."

 

"I see how nerve wracking that can be." said Kairi she looked at him, when he hugged her, she was some what surprised, "I know your not lyimg to me."

 

Sota chuckled, "Just establishing that I'm not trying to pull anything on you." He slowly let go of Kairi, reached into the picnic basket and pulled out a sandwhich. He started eating it, then made a face. He looked at it, swallowed, then spoke, "Odd...I thought this was ham and cheese...it's really peanut butter and jelly. Either they look the same, or I need my eyes checked." He made an odd-joking face.

 

Kairi grabbed a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich, "you really should get your eyes checked since, peanut butter and Jelly look completely different than Ham and cheese."

 

Sota made a face, staring at the two sandwhich, "...maybe I do." He held the pb and j above his head, and peeked inbetween the sandwhich. As a result, some of the jelly fell on his face.

"That was smart," he muttered.

 

Kairi laughed, "and maybe it would help if you didn't hold above your head." Kairi said smileing slightly while looking at Sota.

 

Sota wiped the jelly off his face. He then put on a dramatic, horrified face, "But then how would I smell like grape?" he put his hands on his cheeks, "It's not worth it!" He stopped and smiled at Kairi.
