"Stay" A Ryuunosuke x Rita Fanfiction

Little Things

"DRAGON!!! WAKE UP!!! YOUR LOVER IS BEING DISMISSED FROM THE HOSPITAL TODAY!!!"

Ryuunosuke rolled over to find Misaki-senpai screaming in his face.

"DRAGONNN GET UP WE HAVE TO GO GET YOUR LOVER FROM THE HOSPITAL!!"

"S-S-SHE'S NOT MY LOVER!!" he screamed while his cheeks turned pink.

He rolled back over to hide his blush. The hyperactive woman grabbed his leg and pulled him out of the bed, with a thump as he landed on the floor.

"Hey, that hurt!", he yelled.

"Oh well, now hurry up and get dressed! And clean your room, because we all know where Rita will be sleeping!!", she giggled and quickly skipped out of the room.

"WHATT! I NEVER AGREED TO THAT!"

He tried to contain his blushes, while changed his clothes and picking up some things on his floor. He found that Rita's luggage has already been placed in his room. He sighed and continued cleaning, when he noticed the several bottles of pills in the pockets of her bags. He hit himself in the head. Why hasn't he ever saw them before? He remembered that a month ago he might have saw them, and just thought nothing of it. Why didn't he think anything of it? Did he not care? Why does he care so much now....

"DRAGONNN! HURRY UP! WE'RE LEAVING!!" he heard Misaki yell from downstairs.

He pushed the questions aside, grabbed his bag, and met the others at the door.

"Ryuunosuke your lover's waiting..", Jin said teasingly.

Annoyed from the already crazy morning, Ryuunosuke angrily said, "Can you guys just shut up already! God, I'm just trying to be nice to her!"

With that, he crossed his arms and stormed out the door. The others silently followed the teenager as he stomped his way to the hospital. The programmer knew he had to calm himself down before they arrived.

"What about your gynophobia.. you didn't seem so gynophobic yesterday..", Kanda said quietly but enough for Ryuunosuke to hear.

This made him stop walking and slightly blush. He had to think for a second. He remembered that feeling that surpassed his gynophobia and allowed him to do the things that he did. He ignored answering the question and continued walking. Taking the hint, Kanda let it go. The black-haired boy was able to calm himself down before arriving at the hospital. When he entered, he saw the British woman leaning against a wall, waiting for them.

She screamed, "Ryuunosuke!!!", and once again, jumped in his arms. All of the members of Sakurasao noticed how much Ryuunosuke's expression changed when he saw Rita. It went from dark, slouchy, and frowning, to a slight smile, raised shoulders, and a welcoming aura. They all looked at each other, knowing what Ryuunosuke said before was false. They smiled at the sight of then hugging.

"F-Freeloader g-get off me!"

She hugged tighter as Ryuunosuke's face got even more red. Before he had a chance to faint, Rita let go. Ryuunosuke crossed his arms, and closed his eyes, trying to keep a straight face and tried remove the blush that seemed to be glued on. She laughed out loud at his burning face and his awkward standing position.

"I.. I don't see what's so funny..", the programmer said sternly.

"You are, silly!", and with that she tightly grabbed his arm, pulling him outside. He stumbled along, barely being able to walk because he was so overwhelmed. After they stepped out of the hospital, Rita stopped.

"Heyyyyy Ryuunosuke, I think I might of hurt my ankle, can you carry me?" , she giggled and pretended to limp around.

"That doesn't look that serious, but why do I have to carry you?"

"Umm.. all of the others sprained their ankles too!"

He looked around at the others, who were limping around. It was dreadfully obvious that everyone was faking it.

"And is anyone going to carry them?"

"No! Just shut up and carry me!", she said while laughing. Knowing no other way out, Ryuunosuke bent down in a position where Rita could get on.

"You're so demanding, Freeloader."

This made Rita laugh even more. Ryuunosuke instantly thought that laugh was like heaven. It made him lose his mind for a minute. He thought, "How can a girl laugh so easily after all she's been through?" His mind wandered off until he heard that familiar voice again.

"Ryuunosuke? Hey, Ryuunosuke??"

Drifting back into reality, Ryuunosuke shook his head, realizing he got side-tracked. Rita suddenly jumped on his back and hit his head, telling him to go.

"Damn you, Freeloader!", he said, beginning to walk.

The others stood back, laughing hysterically, and went back to walking normal, knowing that the little plan worked. As they walked, Rita pressed more and more onto Ryuunosuke's back, until he finally snapped,

"FREELOADER!! If you want a ride, stop with such indecencies!!"

Jokingly, Rita replied, "Oh what, Ryuunosuke, like this?"

She wrapped her legs completely around his lower body, and wrapped her arms completely around his chest, while placing her head on his shoulder.. She made sure every part of her torso was touching his back.

"F-F-FREELOADER!! DO YOU WANT ME TO DROP YOU!?"

She laughed and leaned back a little, just enough to make Ryuunosuke somewhat comfortable. Ryuunosuke sighed in relief as they began to approach Sakurasou. She got off his back, and when he was about to go in, he felt her pulling on his shirt. Waiting until the rest went in, he turned around to see her slightly blushing with a huge smile on her face. He realized her expression changed drastically from just a couple of minutes ago.

"Hey, um.. thanks.. a lot.. just doing these little things makes me so happy, you wouldn't even believe it."

Ryuunsuke was lost in her smile, he thought it was priceless. He felt so much relief, seeing her smile like that. He thought about the other's smiles, and he knew her's was different. He didn't hear much of what she was saying, but her smile kept getting more and more perfect.

He gulped, "W-Why are you smiling like that?"

She giggled, "I just told you, silly, it's because of you. "

They shared an intimate stare for a while, both flustered and blushing. Ryuunosuke wondered if Rita's heart was beating as fast as his. Rita grabbed his shaking shoulder, and slowly got closer to him. He gulped again, knowing what was coming. She gently placed her lips on his. He wasn't as surprised this time, so he closed his eyes while his heart beated out of his chest. He noticed that particular feeling he felt the day before was battling with his gynophobia again, and it was winning. He found himself, almost enjoying the kiss. His mind was racing, with those same, stupid questions that he couldn't help but wonder. What is this feeling? Why hasn't he fainted yet? Why is he enjoying this? Is she enjoying it? She soon backed away. Reading his mind, she grabbed his hand and placed it over the area of her heart. Ryuunosuke shivered at what he felt. Rita then placed her hand on his chest. She looked up at him, with the same, perfect smile and hugged him.

"I love you" she quietly said.

Ryuunosuke felt some tears run down his face. Why was he crying? He thought to himself, even though he already knew the answer. Rita soon noticed and held him closer. One hand was placed on the back of his head, scrunching up his long black hair, and her other hand was on his back, wrinkling his shirt.

"Hey.. stop crying okay? It makes me want to cry..."

He broke away from her hug, and wiped his eyes. He looked away from her out of embarrassment. It killed him to cry in front of her and it killed her to see him cry because of her.

After a long silence, Ryuunosuke said, "I'm- I'm really scared, Rita.. " "It's... It's alright, Ryuunosuke, I'm back now. It'll be okay... I promise."

She understood how terrible Ryuunosuke must be feeling, going through all of this again. All she could do now was comfort him. But she hated telling him everything was going to be okay, because she really didn't know if that was the truth.
