I Love You

Rest in Pieces Ace.  He deserved it.  Also, this is a short chapter along with an explanation of everything and a QNA.  This is not the end, but I'm thinking of changing the title, and I will continue this book.

Tina's POV:

Now we were back at our good old Daycare, and Ryan was tending to my every need, considering I'd been kidnapped and stuff.  I was even more surprised when we ran into Becky at the base.  She had said a few rude things to me, and Ryan shot her in the face with a slingshot.

"Do you need anything, Tina?"  Ryan asked me.

"Maybe some cuddles..."  I muttered.  Ryan blushed and embraced me.  "You know, I was expecting either a rejection, or 'Just this once...'"  I felt me face flush when he pulled me closer, looking at the ground.

"I don't want it to happen only once..."  He muttered.  I didn't think it was possible to blush more than I already was.

We sat there for a while, just enjoying the silence along with each other's company.

"Tina?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry for crushing your heart all of those times, and I'm glad that you're back here."

"It's fine Cutie, and I'm glad to be back."

"I know that my excuse back in the day was that the feelings were complicated..."  Oh?  BRACE FOR REJECTION TINA!  "But I've made my decision."

"Cutie, it's okay if-"

"I LOVE YOU, TINA!"  What?  I blushed, EVEN MORE.  He was now crimson, even though he knew that I felt the same way.  "I love you, and I only realized it when I lost you.  But I don't want to lose you again."  If he cries I'm going to cry.  "A-And...  When I saw y-you with-"  DON'T CRY DON'T CRY-

I kissed him.  He held me tighter and kissed back.  I started crying.  Dang it.

When we parted, I smiled at him lovingly, and he returned it.

"I love you too, Ryan..."

I don't have many readers, but my plot is kind of all over the place, so comment your questions here:

Explanation of Chapter Titles:

Goldy- The first long term threat to Ryan and Tina's relationship.

Honey- Not only is it used for tea, but it's the name that Ryan called Tina when she hypnotized him.

Peppermint- Something that everybody hates (by itself) except Goldy.

Ryan's Regrets- As Ryan's character developed more in the series, he grew further from Tina.

Side-Kick- Representing Goldy's play-violent behavior, and her support for her best "friend."

Knives and Slingshots- The two weapons that were protecting Ryan as a squad icon.

Golden Girl- A cute nickname for Goldy, and also her sidekick/superhero name.

King of Hearts- Since people seem to really love this guy, Ace gives him a nickname in relation to his own.

I Love You- The only three words Tina wants to hear; specifically from Ryan.

Charles is an OC, but honestly I made him in like 2 minutes using stereotypes, tropes, and a name generator online.  His full name is Charles Xu.  He's an Asian; and I'm not trying to be racist (cause I'm Asian too), but Asian families typically don't support LGBT.  He was kicked out because of his sexuality and wanted nothing more than to be accepted by someone.  Anyone.  So imagine how he felt when he saw Ryan and  his very diverse friend group.
