My Book Of Dance With Devils

One Shot 1# : Rem and Ritsuka's Confession

*I know I could've come up with a better title for this one shot, but I couldn't think of anything unique, so if you have any suggestions of what title I should give for this one shot, leave your suggestions in the comments. *

A/N: The story takes place after the events of episode 9, though I wrote this on tumblr way before episode 9 aired . This was what I imagined Remtsuka's confession would be, but a certain change of events in episode 9 made this scenario kinda impossible to happen.  Though I'm not sure on the dialogue part so enjoy ;)
This is the first time I wrote something like this so it might have a few errors.

Ritsuka slowly opened up her eyes. A soft feeling came over her as she realized she was sleeping on a bed. She looked at her surroundings. The room was lit by a small lamp at the corner of the room,  casting a warm glow inside the room.  Usually ,Ritsuka would have just continued snuggling in her own bed, but there was only one thing that didn't urge her to do so.......it was how unfamiliar she is with this room. 

'Where am I? '

Slowly, she recalled what had happened before she found herself in this particular room. Lindo getting out of control,Rem battling against him to protect her,  her screaming for them to stop before finally passing out ....

'ah, I remember. ' As Ritsuka quietly thought to herself.  With all these things that has happened recently,  no matter how hard she tried to stay strong in these situations, Ritsuka knows that deep inside her heart, she was slowly breaking down.

First her mom getting kidnapped, she being chased down by both Vampires and Devils, being lied to by people whom she trust and love,finding out that she is in fact the grimoire, even Azuna's death, since when did her life became such a mess? All Ritsuka ever wanted was to live a peaceful life with her family and find someone that would love her just as she loves him , is that too much to ask for? 

As tears welled up in her eye's, she felt something warm on her hand. She turned to see Rem asleep at the side of the bed, breathing softly, his hand wrapped around hers.  It felt warm and secure at the same time.

"Rem-san... " she looked at him, and smiled softly,a soft blush appearing at her cheeks.  Rem's usual stern face was no where to be found, instead , Ritsuka saw a face of an innocent young boy , sleeping soundly, with a peaceful smile on his face .

" How cute...... so this is the other side of you, huh?  If only you'd smile more.... " Ritsuka softly spoke to herself while stroking his head as if she was caressing a child. Caught up in the moment, Ritsuka leaned forward and gave Rem a peck on The cheek. "Consider this a little treat for myself,"as she smiled bittersweetly. No matter how much she loved him, she knew that they could never be together .

"Hmm..... "Rem was startled by the kiss and slowly opened his eyes . Ritsuka was staring at him with an expression mixed with melancholy and love.

"She's awake?!" Rem thought to himself and instantly sat up,though still remaining his usual composure.

"Ah!  Rem-san, you're awake! " Ritsuka immediately backed away in shock.  Her face as red as a Tomato. Rem's face went back to it's usual icy expression. Unnoticed by Ritsuka,  he was actually silently blushing in embarassment. It was all thanks to the dim light in the room.

" I see that you've woken up. " he said coldly,averting his eyes away from Ritsuka.

"Ah, yes."She replied, still blushing.

[Silence]

" Uhm... did you happen to bring me here? " she asked him.

"Yes,You're now in my mansion, your brother Lindo is being cared for in another room. " he replied, still not looking at her.
