There comes a time in one’s life where they picture what they want their life to be like in the future. Well, sure I wanted a normal life where I went to work and came home to people that loved me. But, I was more realistic than that. I always thought (or at the time, thought I knew) that I would basically have unstable hours at a job that I didn’t have any cases for weeks at a time and come home to an house.
Never, not in a million years had I thought that I would be where I was now: sitting on Ryuu’s counter getting hot and steamy with him in the kitchen. And even if I had somehow had the notion that that would happen, I never ever thought I’d hear those three words escape his lips.
I sat there, somewhat in shock for several seconds until a look of worry crossed his face, wondering if I was about to reject him, or slap him maybe. I mentally shook myself and stared into Ryuu’s loving eyes.
“It doesn’t matter to me that you are different than normal guys, Ryuu. If I wanted normal, I wouldn’t be in this profession talking to you right now.” I paused for a moment, trying to clear my head and work up the courage to repeat those same three little words back to him. “I love you, too. I love you for who you are, weird, abnormal phenomena and all.” I gave him a quick smile.
I leaned in again to kiss him. I only meant to kiss him on the nose, but he moved his face up and forward to catch my mouth with his own. I didn’t protest and leaned into him to deepen the kiss as he did the same. There was no room between us, but that was fine by me. I liked the intimacy. Ryuu’s hands found my waist as I ran my hands through his thick, long hair, I hoped this feeling would never leave me.
I realized at that moment how much I truly did love Ryuu. I trusted him whole-heartedly. I didn’t know what our future had in store for either of us, but my hopes were high, and I had no doubt we would be able to endure anything together.

Sorry it's so short, but I can't be on long, so I wasn't able to do Elle's pov.
