Promise me
Stupid guys. Why do they have to ruin everything, Ranma thought as he sat alone at the center of the dojo. He was reflecting over the past few days and how his other fiances and that annoying Happosai had to ruin such a perfect wedding. The thought of losing Akane was an ache that burned through his heart. He wanted her, no matter how hard it was for those words to come out, Ranma’s affection was only ever for Akane. She was so cute, and sexy. Her face… delicate as ever, and with her soft smile and deep brown eyes. It frustrated Ranma that he couldn’t have all of her to himself as for the events a few days prior to now. He sulked, folding his legs while a little dark cloud began to form over him as he fidgeted with the floor. How upsetti-
“Boo!” Akane whispered into his ear, sending a tingle down his spine, her warm breath heating his neck and painting him tomato red.
“Akane? You caught me off guard there for a sec,” Ranma said as he turned to face his wouldve-been-wife.
“Yeah, I got you,” she teased with her tongue sticking out. She inched closer, “Actually, I have something for you.” “Uhh… what?” Ranma couldn't handle the sudden proximity and rational thought began to give way.
She pulled a ring out of her backpocket, his ring from their disastrous wedding, and straightened her back. She held out her hand which was quickly taken by Ranma, the moment their hands touched, she could feel his heat dissipate into her palm.
Bdmp Bdmp Bdmp Bdmp…
“Ranma,” she called as she gazed into his blue, clear eyes, “I have your wedding ring. But I want you to know that the thing that I want most in life is that I want you to be happy.”
Now, Ranma was happy, the skies cleared and his heart began to race even quicker. “I want you to be even happier, Akane,” he leaned in.
It was fact at this point that the couple often lost track of time as they gazed into one another’s beautifully hued eyes, and this time was no exception. Her eyes were so comforting, unlike Shampoo’s stare which felt like the burning sun’s rays burning down and piercing his skin. But Shampoo was not important, for Ranma had Akane’s warm gleaming smile, with the sweet eyes that opened his heart and left him unguarded.
She got to him and she got to him bad. Akane, if you were to simply reach over and squeeze my heart and break it, I’d let you. I wouldn’t be able to handle it though, so don't leave me, please.
“Ranma, I know our wedding was a disaster, but promise me that we will definitely get married soon and that you’ll never leave my side,”she smiled and sent an arrow through his heart yet again.
“Akane…” And in one swift and sudden motion, she kissed his cheek, swiftly using her lips to distract him while she slipped on his ring onto his finger and suddenly made it for the door!
“Hey! Wait! You’re not getting away that easily,” he laughed as he came at her and sent them both onto the floor.
As always, he made sure her landing was safe as his back slammed into the floor and cushioned her fall. Akane began to stabilize herself and pull from off of him.
She giggled.
“Hey you’re not getting away with that easily,” Ranma teased as he turned over to now dominate over her.
As soon as he did that, she began trying to squirm free from underneath him, but he wasn’t going to let her get away that easily. Ranma straddled her and held her hands over her head and pinned them to the floor.
“Let go of me,” she laughed which made his stomach swirl and come closer toward her.
“You think you’re sneaky, huh Akane?” he snorted, a bit pleased with himself for subduing her so easily.
“Ranma…” she blushed from beneath him, avoiding his gaze.
This switched something on within Ranma’s head and things were even more clearer than before.
He smiled “Yes, I promise that I will never leave your side. Akane, I want to marry you too. Actually, I kept your ring too,” Hearing this kept her heart aflutter and made her chocolate colored eyes water.
He used one hand to pin both wrists and the other to slip the ring onto her delicate fingers.
“Can we kiss, Ranma?” The question was so blatant. It always surprised him that she always got to him so easily. Now, Ranma finally registered the compromising position that he had her in; he could feel her shiver as she waited for a response.
“Ye-ye-,” he stuttered, but before he could even finish attempting to give her his consent, her hands broke free of his hands and cupped his face and he fell closer to her.
She brutally pulled his face into hers, which hurt, but he liked it. Her lips were warm and enchanting, smooching his.
He let her lead, but after just 4 kisses, he was soon overwhelmed with how much he enjoyed it.
“Akane I-” he tried pulling away in fear that he’d die from tachycardia, but she roughly pulled him back in and Ranma gave in.
He was still new to this even if many of his suitors had stolen kisses from him without his consent, for it was different with Akane.
Akane was starved, he could tell. The way she tugged tightly and kissed so quickly. All this made him weak and he let her have him.
Their lips found a rhythm and Ranma closed what little distance they had left.
In 2 more kisses, Akane pushed Ranma’s face up to see him intoxicated and dazed.
All over his face were smudges of her lipstick, even if they were hard to find with how tomato he was. His collar was still intact, but it was ruffled as well as his hair as she had brushed her fingers through it.
The sight left her mesmerized. When she pushed his face back up, he was having a bit of trouble finding his balance as he was drugged with so much love that he had been yearning for so long.
He looked at his beautiful fiance with her lipstick smeared to the side and her hair all askew.
The sight itself relieved him. He chuckled, “Oh Akane, if you could see how funny you look.”
“Ha! You’re the one to talk, you look so tipsy after just a few kisses, it's all over your face!” The couple laughed and smiled at one another.
Ranma lay his head onto her shoulder and hugged her. “I will never fail at becoming your husband and caring for you all my life, Akane. Never forget that.”
"You are the one that makes me happy."
