Misaki POV

I washing dishes and thinking about how my conversation with Usagi-san will go. Lost in thought I didn't notice the figure looming behind me, until strong arms wrapped around my waist.
"Eek!" I squeaked out, dropping a plate that had been in my hand.
I bent down to retrieve the broken pieces as Usagi-san let me go. We bent down and began picking up the bigger pieces. At the last piece our hands touched (yes cliche much) I quickly pulled back and ran into the sink.
"Misaki!" I heard him yell.
Next thing I knew I was on the couch, to be more accurate I was laying with my head in Usagi-san's lap. His hands were gently gliding along my jawline.
"U-Usagi-san?"
He blinked in surprise and quickly pulled his hand back allowing me to sit up.
I moved to the other end of the couch my face hot. I'm sure he could see my blush even though I tried to hide it. He moved closer and I pushed myself into the side of the couch. I felt his hand on my head and flinched a little.
Why did it hurt?
He left for a moment and returned with a band-aid and some alcohol. I couldn't figure out why though.
"Misaki, it might sting." he applied some alcohol and I tried to move away.
I had a cut. From where?... When I fell!
"I'm sorry." I heard him whisper.
"Why?" I asked as he applied the bandage. He looked at me as if I had no idea what had just happened. I did, I just didn't blame him for it.
"What were you going to explain to me?" I asked trying to change the subject.
He stood up and offered a hand.
"Let's go out for a walk." I slowly took his hand and we headed to the door.
He wrapped a scarf around my neck, and helped me into my jacket. I felt a blush creep up my cheeks and I knew he could tell by the smirk on his cheeks.
My heart feels like its going to pop out of my chest.
We headed out the door and down the street. We weren't headed anywhere in particular.
"Misaki, please just give me a chance to explain myself. Just let me say what I need to say, then you can say or ask whatever you want." I could hear how sincere he was.
I nodded for him to continue. My eyes never leaving his face as we walked.
"Misaki, I never meant to hurt you. In truth I used to be in love with your brother, but it was one sided. He was my closest friend, I didn't want to lose what we had. So when my publisher's had me start Boy's Love novels I decided to use it as and outlet. I've never forced myself onto your brother, he never knew of my feelings and he never will. That day we met I thought it was just gonna be me and Takahiro. I was actually mad when I saw you there." that last part was barely a whisper.
I was his problem. He'll never love me like he loves Nii-chan.
Somewhere in my thoughts I started crying without realizing it. I only noticed when I felt a gentle kiss to my cheek.
"Misaki, please. I know you, don't compare yourself to him."..."Why not? The way it sounds it only seems I'm his replacement."
"NO!" I blinked in surprise.
He never raised his voice at me before. Before he could say anything I took off. Tears falling as I ran, I didn't know where I was going and honestly I didn't care. I just needed to be away from him.
"HEY KID!" Someone yelled but I just kept running.
My chest was tightening, running and crying was a bad combination. I had to stop and breath. I looked up just in time to see headlights coming straight towards me.
"MISAKI!" I heard someone scream.
Was that Usagi-san? The lights were so close. Any moment they would hit and it would all be over, the pain, for both of us. I couldn't hurt him and he couldn't hurt me. Wait! TAKAHIRO.
HONK HONK
I was waiting for the pain most people felt when hit by a car going at 60 mph, but it never came. I did feel pain, and tears on my cheek.
"Hey are you guys okay? I'm glad I stopped before I hit the kid." a deep voice said.
Before I hit the kid?
I slowly opened my eyes, and looked into amethyst mingled with light blue tears.
"Usagi-san?" I gently touched his cheek.
"Misaki!" he stood and carried me in his arms.
Tried to.
"Usagi-san, I can walk." I said blushing.
He let me down but I fell after the first step. My ankle hurt so much. Instead of hitting the ground I fell into his arms and he called a taxi to drive us to the hospital.
"Sprained?"
"Yes, you'll need to keep off of it for a week or two to let it heal." the doctor said.
With that he walked out of the room and Usagi-san moved into he bed with me.
"Misaki, please never do that again. I don't want to lose the man I love." he cried into my neck.
Man I love?
"You love me?" I couldn't believe what he said was true, not after everything that happened.
"Yes, with my heart and soul." he said placing a kiss to my lips.
My heart began to race as the kiss deepened. His tongue slid into my mouth and I moaned into the kiss.
He loves me, the man I love, actually does love me.
"Ahem!" the sound of a thought clearing broke us apart.
"Please refrain from making out in the hospital, if you don't mind." my doctor said as he wheeled in a chair so I could leave.
I felt my cheeks flush at being caught and scolded like a child by my doctor. For making out with Usagi-san?
Making out with Usagi-san!
We left the hospital in a cab. Sleep was calling me as I lean against Usagi-san. I don't even remember when we got home, but I woke up to see amethyst staring lovingly at me.
"Usagi-san, what time is it?" I asked, light pouring through the curtains.
"10:30" he said sliding out of bed.
He wasn't wearing a shirt, and only then did I take in the fact that I was sleeping in Usagi-san's room. I quickly sat up, only to be gently forced back into the bed.
"Don't worry Misaki I called the school and told them you weren't going today." he said.
He placed a soft kiss to my lips and one hand slid up my shirt.
I could hear my own heartbeat.
"I love you Misaki." he said pulling me into a hug.
"I love you too Usagi-san." I felt his breath hitch at my confession, and smiled as we fell onto the bed in each others arms.
