Too Shy To Tell You Till Now

Keichi sat in the kitchen trying to wrap his thoughts together so he wouldn't scramble them up like he always did. He knew he loved Belldandy. He knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Hell, he even knew that nothing would stand in the way, if only he could get up the courage to tell her!

Whenever Keichi tried to tell Belldandy how he felt about her, something always went wrong. When he tried to tell Belldandy that he loved her, Urd, Skuld, his sister or something else would interrupt and his courage would escape him. Other times when he tried to tell her, he just didn't have the guts.

"No more!" Keichi said as he stood up. "She will know how I feel about her if I have to dedicate my life to trying to tell her!" Keichi vowed as he started working out a plan in his brain.

Skuld was busy coloring in a coloring book Belldandy had bought her not too long ago when Keichi joined her. "Hi, Skuld."

Skuld looked up, annoyed that someone would interrupt her. "Oh, it's you!" Skuld turned her head back to her picture, flicking her long hair in his face. "Go away, I don't want you in here!"

Usually, that would drive him out of the room, but not today. "Hey, Skuld. I have a present for you," Keichi said, determined to get alone time with Belldandy.

"Oh really?" Skuld asked as she moved her attention to the skinny man behind her. "What would that be?"

"I'll give you my credit card so you can go to the candy store and buy all you want! The only thing you have to do is stay out of the house for a little while!" Keichi bribed her.

"Really!?" Skuld in excitement.

She said no more after seeing Keichi pull out a credit card not even used. It must've been for Keichi's school stuff. However, this didn't bother Skuld one bit. She closed her coloring book and snatched the card out of Keichi's hand and left in a puff of smoke.

"Well, it cost me a brand new credit card...but whatever I do for Belldandy is worth it..." Keichi said as he headed for Urd's room.

Keichi knocked on the door and heard a low come in. He went in the room to see Urd on the bed in a very revealing dress, as usual. "Hey, Urd."

"Oh, Keichi. It's you. What do you want?" Urd asked, seeming bored.

"Well, I have a deal for you," Keichi offered, knowing she wouldn't turn down a deal.

"What is it?" Urd asked, not looking at him.

"I'll give you a credit card you can use for anything you want on one condition," Keichi said seriously.

"And what would that be?" Urd asked, still not seemingly interested.

"Stay out of the house for a few hours," Keichi said firmly.

"Oh? Why? Want some alone time with my little sister?" Urd asked accusingly.

"Uh...well...I..." Keichi lost his nerve.

Urd suddenly turned around, big smile on her face. "Well, the little boy finally trying to become a man, eh? I'll take your petty deal. Only because I need new clothes, however," Urd said and snatched the credit card. She too disappeared in a puff of smoke, probably to the mall.

"Two down. Now, all there is to do is lock all the doors and keep out of the windows so my sister will think we're not home..." Keichi said and did so within twenty minutes.

"Keichi, what's this all about?" Belldandy asked softly, her beautiful smile showing.

"I wanted to have some alone time with you so I could tell you something..." Keichi said nervously.

"Tell me something? What would you want to tell me?" Belldandy asked nervously.

"Well, for a long time now, I've been wanting to tell you how I feel about you. However, something always ruined it...To tell the truth...I've never had the courage to even kiss you...I feel like such a coward sometimes..." Keichi put himself down.

"No, Keichi. Don't say that. I'm sure you will kiss me whenever you feel the time is right," Belldandy said cheerfully.

All of a sudden, they heard a knock at the door. It was Keichi's little sister.

"Co-" Belldandy was cut off by Keichi putting his hand over her mouth.

"Don't say anything, it'll ruin everything I've planned to say to you while we're alone," Keichi said seriously.

"Oh? What do you want to say to me?" Belldandy asked again.

Keichi just looked at her for a moment. Here's the moment of truth...I either kiss her...or I don't... Keichi thought to himself.

A few minutes passed of silence while Keichi stared deep into the Goddess' eyes. He finally proceeded on with laying his lips ever so softly on top of her's. Belldandy accepted this and held him. When they separated, Keichi was blushing madly, and Belldandy's cheeks were a slight pink. The knocking had went away and they were alone.

"Keichi..." Belldandy trailed.

"Belldandy...I...I..." why couldn't he say it? He had to force himself, or she would never know.

"Keichi?" Belldandy's eyes were full of wonder.

"Belldandy...I...love you...I love you with my whole heart and soul. I was too shy to tell you till now but...I've loved you for a long time. I've...had fantasies...I want you to be with me forever and I...I want to have children with you, Belldandy! Please don't think badly of me for saying that!" Keichi lowered his head in shame.

There was a long silence. Belldandy stared at him. Soon, she smiled and pulled his head up to look at her. She kissed his lips softly. Keichi blushed again. "Keichi...don't feel guilty. I don't think badly of you. I love you!" Belldandy said to him as tears filled her eyes.

They embraced just as Belldandy's sisters came home. They weren't alone anymore, but they didn't notice Skuld yelling at Keichi, or Urd teasing the both of them. They were in their own little world where they would always be happy...
