Finally.
~~~
Tokiya stopped by Fuuko's office but she wasn't there.
'Where can she be?' he asked disturbed.
He just about checked out the whole building but she was nowhere to be found. He couldn't ask Maruko since he would then be jealous and get suspicious.
He finally spotted Michirure there checking out the latest designs in one of the cubicles of the co-workers. She stood there looking over the shoulder of Raiha, one of the computer experts.
Tokiya quickly rushed towards her. "Michirure-san, have you seen Fuuko-san?" he asked.
The load in his back was getting heavier and heavier. If he didn't see her soon and confess what his exact thoughts are, that she wasn't just his imouto, he would explode. And to the fact that his head and heart were still going at it with the debate, it really wasn't helping him one single bit.
'Why couldn't have I told her sooner that I loved her? Why does it have to be too late?'
'Let's see, you were too busy with Anna, to notice?' his head answered back sarcastically.
Maybe it was pressure or the tension in the building, but he really was getting tired and weak. He had to tell Fuuko his feelings before...
'Before...what?'
Before Maruko and Fuuko's relationship gets any serious.
'Marriage?'
Now where did that come from? No way, Fuuko would tell him sooner...right?
Michirure looked at him thoughtfully. "What's with the rush, Tokiya-san? The question is what's with the rush with you and Fuuko-chan?"
"You saw Fuuko, Michirure-san?" ignoring the last comment.
Michirure nodded and pointed the direction of the elevator where Fuuko now stood. Tokiya said thanks over his shoulder as he joined Fuuko in the elevator.
~~~
"Hey, Tokiya! It's nice to bump into you! Where are you going right now?" Fuuko asked trying to assemble a laid-back greeting.
"Nowhere particular." Tokiya answered bluntly.
Knowing what Fuuko was actually trying to do, he could sense it. Was it time? Was it time to tell her that I have always loved her? Is it the time? Was she feeling the same feelings as he felt for her?
"Oh! I see! I'm meeting Maruko around the parking lot. We're going out to dinner. Care to join us?"
Tokiya shook his head. "No thanks. I'm too busy anyway. You know, work."
Fuuko nodded in agreement, still in her face a smile.
Tokiya looked at her smiling face.
How come he never noticed before?
How deep her dimples are or how intense and mysterious her eyes are? =
How come?
I am such an idiot.
The way she would always stay behind a little to give him and Anna some personal space and time alone, or the cheerless smile that always appeared whenever he told her not to wait up for him.
She didn't deserve him. HE didn't deserve her.
I didn't even considered her own feelings.
I'm a horrible person.
I have to apologize!
Tokiya took a step in front of her and closed the space among them with a hug.
Fuuko took a step backward, shocked and somewhat stunned at how her reaction was to his hug.
Her arms involuntarily went around his neck. She liked the feeling of him hugging her. It was usually her who started the hugs. Sometimes, Tokiya was just so distant and icy as if he in no way cared.
It was Tokiya who first broke contact.
"I'm so sorry, that I never paid enough attention to you, Fuu-chan." Tokiya murmured. "Forgive me."
Fuuko stared, dazed and overflowing with pleasure that in someway Tokiya had shown her the same feelings she has exposed him two years ago.
She stared and said nothing.
Is this an illusion?
Am I dreaming?
This must be real. But...but what is he trying to say? Does he still judge me as his imouto?
~~~
What's the matter?
Why isn't she saying anything?
Fuuko blinked. She cleared her throat and smiled. "'Course I do, Toki-chan! I saw you talking to Michirure just a few minutes ago..." she grinned, though inside sadly.
"Michirure?" Tokiya grinned. "Jealous, Fuu-chan?"
Fuuko slapped him playfully, though not intended, and painfully. "Don't be silly, Toki-chan. I'm happy with Maruko, didn't you notice?"
He did notice.
He smiled his usual icy smiles. "'Course I did Fuu-chan."
Fuuko's smile wavered a little bit.
He doesn't care. I should've realized it.
"Well, now that you're back to the old Toki-chan that I know, did she accept a dinner date?" she teased.
Tokiya shook his head. "As a matter of fact, no."
Fuuko's eyes grew big. "Nani? It's a miracle! Quick call the presses! Tokiya Mikagami was rejected by Michirure Hana-"
The pressure of Tokiya's lips on hers cut her of, Fuuko the realized that Tokiya was kissing her.
Tokiya gently stopped and looked at her. "Gomennasai. You just talk too much."
Fuuko touched her lips gently. Looked at Tokiya, and then captured his lips on her again. Tokiya was shocked at first but then reacted to it. By that time, they had reached the basement where Maruko was waiting with his car. Naturally, the elevators door automatically opened and showed Tokiya and Fuuko kissing, unconscious to Maruko watching.
~~~
Maruko looked at them confused. He then smiled.
"Good luck you too!" he whispered then got into his car and drove off.
Fuuko glanced up and saw Maruko driving away waving at them.
'Maruko' Fuuko looked at the small figure of Maruko. 'Thank you Maru-chan'
Tokiya glanced at who she was looking at. "Fuuko? Is...is Maruko gonna be alright?"
Fuuko nodded then smiled up towards him. "Hai. I really do think so, don't you agree, Toki-chan?"
Tokiya smiled. "Listen, Fuu-chan, I told you the name is 'Tokiya-chan' not 'Toki-chan' it really ruins my image."
Still the faint sounds of Tokiya and Fuuko's voices can be heard as the elevator rose up again to the first floor. Tokiya, was still giving her a lecture about his name. Fuuko interrupts him by giving him a kiss after every word.
