As we had stopped in the middle of the pathway with some of the other halfers making snowmen and Rika and I both back in our human forms and my arm wrapped around her, and her head against my shoulder with her eyes closed. She didn't feel cold anymore at least as she was leaning against me and that made me smile. I wanted to care for her... a lot. I wanted to stay by her side... as much I could.
Rika suddenly shifted a little on my shoulder and I looked at her as she opened her eyes and rummaged his inside pockets of her jacket for something. Once she got it out, I noticed that it was a photo from a long time ago. I recognized Rika immediately with my head tilted slightly so that I could see the whole picture.
“That’s you, right?” I asked as I pointed on the picture and Rika nodded and she pointed at another person on the picture.
“And that’s Creg,” Rika said as he pointed to a man who had just a faint smile on his face with his arm still wrapped protectively around his girl friend. "That’s Diana,” she was staring blankly at the camera. “Of course that’s me,” Rika laughed as she looked at herself. To me, I thought she looked cute.
Then I noticed Tyler beside her and that made me a little interested. He did not look like what I saw him a while back.
“Tyler,” I said as I pointed him out. “He didn’t look anything like he did back there." Rika nodded and looked at it for a moment before going on.
“And finally Liz and Kiri.” Rika pointed them out and looked at the picture for a moment longer and then tucked it away. “My almost perfect world," Rika told and I looked at her, confused. “Almost perfect because it lacked you.” I blushed a little and just that made me want to really confess to her what I felt towards her. I mean, I needed to, since I never really did before, and I figured this would the perfect time.
“Oh,” I started off, having no idea of how I would say this. “Rika, I-“ I was cut off by Sky telling us we would be heading off sometime soon and just kind of discourage the moment from me. “Never mind...” I told her and looked at the snow covered ground out of embarrassment, but kept my arm wrapped around Rika.
"What is it, Moon?" Rika asked she looked me in the eye and I just shook my head.
"It's nothing," I laughed nervously and Rika looked at me and just little by little, I kept on wanting to confess to her. "Rika.... I... I just wanted to tell you something I actually haven't been able to tell you at all, and... well... I just wanted to tell you... that... I have feelings for you... I really, really like you, and I just wanted you to know, since I never confessed it before," I told her nervously as I looked at the ground and I blushed in embarrassment.
What's with me suddenly getting embarrassed? I couldn't understand really why, except maybe because I just confessed to Rika my feelings. Yeah, that's probably it... That even made me wonder if... maybe... I actually...
I pushed it out of my head as I made sure Rika stayed warm by keeping my arm around her.
