Title: Can't Fight Love
Rating: T. Just… because.
Summary: Ray is in deeply in love with…? Just read and find out. Ok, ok, I'll tell you, it's Ray/Mariah but there's a big shock at the end!
Status: At the moment, it's a One-Shot because I'm coming up with ideas on how to expand this. Ideas are appreciated.
NOTE: This chapter used to have a song but due to FFDOTNET's new rules, they aren't allowed. ;-; So… it will be considerably smaller.
Ray watched her enter the room and his breath caught in his throat. Every time he looked at her she just took his breath away. How did she do that? When did she start doing this to him?
How with a greeting gesture did she paralyse him? How with just one question did she mute him? How with just one glance did she blind him with deep love for her? How with just one sentence did she deafen him to all others? How by just touching him did she make his skin tingle with pleasure?
She noticed the dark haired blader in the room and smiled at him, her pearly white teeth dazzling him. He couldn't look away. He had to hold her. To kiss her. To love her forever more.
Oh, how he loved her. He loved her so much it hurt when she was not near him. But when she appeared, it was as if an angel was gracing him with her presence. And what an angel she was. She wasn't just his love. She was his friend. His lifetime friend.
"Hey Ray, how are you doing?"
The ex-White Tiger swallowed the lump in his throat. Had his dear angel spoken? To him? Why couldn't he just say it? Just shout out to the heavens that he loved her and always will. Who cared what others thought? They could not stick their noses into his business. His love.
"Ok."
Now that she was here at least. No, he was more than ok when she was around.
The beauty smiled once again and looked into Ray's golden eyes. He felt something… perhaps; did she feel for him too?
Oh, he hoped so. Would it be better to confess his love so that he would know instead of guessing what she felt? Would it be better to be rejected than not know if she felt the same way? At least then he would know.
The symbol of his affections hugged Ray.
"I'm so glad you could come. I wondered if the snow was going to keep you from getting here." She stood back and raised an eyebrow. Why didn't Ray hug back?
"Ray, what's wrong?"
"I…"
A hand snaked around the pink haired beyblader. She turned to the hand's owner and smiled sweetly at him before pecking him on the lips.
"How you doing, Ray?" Kai asked, wrapping his arms possessively around her waist.
Oh yes. Kai.
Mrs Hiwatari stood there, in her wedding dress with her husband, before her best friend. Her best friend that loved her.
His only love was out of his reach.
Mariah.
Mariah Hiwatari.
You can't fight love
Or… can you?
