Our Love Story

Chapter 18

Takano's POV
I soon woke up, still snuggled up to Onodera.
I smiled and kissed the nape of his neck.
"Nnngh... Takano-san?" He turned to face me as his emerald eyes opened slowly.
"You finally awake? Breakfast should be coming around in a moment. Did you sleep well?" Finally - he took his time waking up. I smiled. He always looks so cute.
"Yeah~" He yawned and turned to me, burying his face into my chest. I kissed the top of his head and rubbed his back soothingly with my hand. He sighed and closed his eyes again, wrapping his arms around me. Breakfast soon came - bacon and egg bap with hash-browns. Onodera pulled away from me and sat up.
"Let's eat." I smiled, kissing his neck. He nodded and picked up the sandwich.
We soon finished and our trays were taken away.
"I'm still tired~" Onodera groaned, lying back down and burying his face in my chest.
"Sleep then~ we still have 7 hours left till we get home." I smiled and wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed his head. He gently closed his eyes and smiled. I could feel his heart beating against mine and I felt light at the thought of him being mine exclusively. I smiled and kissed the top of his head and I just watched him sleep. He woke up about 3 hours later and he rubbed his eyes gently.
"Awake now?" I asked and I ran my hand through his soft brown hair.
"Yeah..." He breathed and he sat up. I sat up and pulled him into me, leaning his head against my collarbone.
"Takano-San?"
"Yes?" I turned my head.
"I love you..." He said quietly, looking away.
"Say that sort of thing to my face, dummy." I smiled and pulled his chin to face me.
"I-I love you." He stated boldly, though hesitant at first.
"I love you too, princess." I leaned in and kissed his lips gently. He blushed bright red - it was cute to say the least.
I wrapped both arms tightly around his waist, smiling as he hesitantly returned my hug.

I looked at the clock on the screen. 3 hours left of the flight. I sighed gently with a smile as Onodera had drifted back to sleep again. I kissed the top of his head until I saw the seatbelt sign appear.
Giving him one last kiss, I buckled his seatbelt and sat back in my own seat.
The aircraft began to descend and Onodera woke up not long before we landed.
"... And touch down." I chuckled lightly as we hit the runway.
Unbuckling my seatbelt I stood up and retrieved our hand luggage, handing Onodera his stuff. He yawned and gently closed his eyes, resting his head on my shoulder. I kissed his head and took his hand.
"Welcome home." Onodera looked up and smiled.
"Good to be back." I leaned down and kissed his forehead softly.
We walked to the carousel and collected out suitcases, waiting for a while before we actually found ours.
After a long week away, I phoned for a taxi and we made our way home.
We arrived outside our apartment block and I took his hand.
"Onodera?" He looked up at me as he pulled his key out.
"Stay the night." I asked and he blushed slightly with a small nod. Smiling, I pulled him in.
