A Fever You Can't Sweat Out

Riveting Revelations

FINAL CHAPTER GUYS!! I hope you have enjoyed this little demented slice of mine.

After their second rough and tumble, Titania having full control that time, Ruki had gotten up and went about his day as normal, except when he went to shower, he pulled her in as well. His reasoning was that she probably wouldn't want to work all day, while she was a sticky mess. She had agreed and so they had shared his shower, Titania tying her hair up, so that it wouldn't get wet. Once they were done in the shower, an almost impossible feat, given Ruki's incessant hands wouldn't stop fooling with her, they got out and dried off, both dressing quickly.

Once they got downstairs again, they went to the kitchen and as Ruki got Coron gathered, as he would have the dog with him today, Titania prepared their travel mugs with coffee and set them on the kitchen table beside her purse. She then opened Ruki's fridge and pulled out some yogurt and fruit for him, given he hadn't eaten all of his breakfast. Once everything was gathered together, they both made their way out the door, Ruki locking it behind them before they climbed into Titania's car.

Within minutes she had the engine started and was out of his driveway in record time. They drove in silence for a short while, until Ruki broke it.

'Titania? Two things. One, can I smoke in your car? And two, I hope you know that wasn't a one time deal for me.'

'Yeah! Go right ahead, I smoke in it, so I don't see why you can't. What do you mean not a one time deal?'

'I mean, I would like it, if we had more than just sex together. This morning happened, not just because I wanted to take care of at least one of your needs for a change, but also because I have wanted to take care of all of them, for a while now.'

'So, what? You want to be with me? Like, in an actual relationship?' Titania asked in shock.

'Why the fuck wouldn't I! Look at you! I really don't know how you can't see what I see in you. Why wouldn't I want to be with someone, who not only knows everything about me but knows what I need, when I need it, before I even know I need it? And we now know that we're definitely compatible sexually, like there's no question there at all. But more than that, you are caring, to an absolute fault sometimes, considerate, funny as hell and the brand of nerdy that I like. You love horror movies about as much as I do, which is, quite frankly, terrifying because I really LOVE horror so I might be wanting to date someone, who has the potential to kill me in my sleep but hey, keep shit exciting right?. You're a music junkie and I know you like much of the same stuff as I do. You're basically perfect for me. So now, I want to be perfect for you but I can't do that, if you don't let me try.'

'Ruki...I'm not saying you can't. I'm just floored that you want me. I never thought, in a million years, that, that would be a thing. Hoped but never expected. So to have you say it and tell me, I don't know what to say or do right now.'

'Yes.' Came Ruki's voice.

'What?' Asked Titania in return.

'Just say yes. What you've hoped for, is literally being offered to you, so just say yes and that will be that.'

'It's not that simple though! I want you to be sure.'

'Titania, it is that simple and trust me, I am more than sure. I've been sure for months, I just never got the right opportunity to approach you.'

'So you did it with sex!? That could have backfired so badly.' Titania exclaimed.

'Well...I...may have had some help...to ensure it didn't...' Ruki answered, his tone evasive and quiet.

'Wait! WHAT!?' Titania yelled as she screeched to a halt outside the venue, turning to look at him.

'Ok, I know you're probably going to be pissed but uh...the guys...may have helped me...this morning.' Ruki answered, placing his hand on the back of his head and rubbing, his nervousness clear.
