Minna,
Hope this doesn't ruin your breakfast/lunch/dinner/whatever.

Moment
by: Jiro Maeda
(Ranma)
Once again I'm on the roof, thinking.  I usually do this whenever I have a
fight with Akane or when I'm puzzling out something, I'm not doing that
right now.  for once I'm sitting here , staring at the stars and savoring
my peaceful moment, fleeting as it is. Yup, staring at the stars and
nothing more.
(Akane)
I know he's on the roof again, what I couldn't figure out is why he's
there, he usually only sits there after we fight or when he makes an
important decision.  Could it be that he's finally deciding which one of us
he'll be marrying?  I squelch this thought, why should I care whether he
chooses me or not, it's not as if I l-l-like him or anything.  Still he
could be lonely, I suppose I could go up there and give him a blanket or
something to keep him warm. 
(Ranma)
I could hear the door to Akane's bedroom opening then closing, where could
that tomboy be heading to at this hour?  Oh well, It's none of my concern,
right?   I mean it's not that I would care if that Otemba would date Ryouga
or Kuno, right?   Should I follow her? Nah, she'll only hit me with that
bakatare mallet of hers.  Best to sit here and savor the moment.  But
still.... argh, I hate it when she does that!
(Akane)
I see him lying on the roof, his eyes focused on the stars, and my suddenly
go weak, I guess I could see why so many girls are after him. Girls,
Shampoo, that amazon slut, why does Ranma always flirt with her, not that
I'm jealous or anything, he can move with her to China for all I care. 
Ukyou, he always eats whatever she brings him, why doesn't he do the same
thing with my cooking. He could be such a pervert sometimes going from one
girl to the other, not that I'm jealous, I mean why would I be jealous?
He's nothing more than a hentai jerk who always insults my cooking, who
always calls me uncute, who ,who... 
(Ranma)
I feel a presence on the roof, Akane, I pretend not to notice but I know
she was there.  Impatiently I waited for her to call me, to tell me what
she wanted.  I hear sniffling, I turn around and see her. Why is she
crying, more importantly , what did I do this time? It wrenched my heart to
see her like this, like that time when her hair got cut.  I sit up and call
to her.
(Akane)
He called out my name, asking if I was okay. I look at him and focus on
those blue  eyes, they radiated... concern? He was worried about me...I
wipe my tears and nod,
he smiles and becons me to sit beside him, my heart pounding. I sit next to
him, he  looks at me and stares into my eyes I had to keep myself from
shaking.   
(Ranma)
I look at her, and finally figured it out, I really do love her. from that
moment I knew I want to be with her, not because of honor, not because of
the dojo, not because it is the manly thing to do, rather it is actually
because I won't, no can't live without her.  I realize that I want to wake
up in the morning and see her smile, to feel her kiss before I close my
eyes at night. I have to tell her this now.  I have to because I might not
get another chance, because tomorrow might be too late. But what if she
refused?  My mind reeled at the thought of her refusal, but I know I had to
do it. I gather everything I have, my strength my courage, my confidence
and tell her...
(Akane)
I was too shocked to move. I could only sit there beside him with my mouth
hanging open, I couldn't believe that he said it, those three little words
I wanted to hear for a long time. He must have figured this to be rejection
and started to get up and leave. I hold onto his hand and ask him to stay.
(Ranma)
She's smiling, people shouldn't be allowed to have smiles like that. I sit
back down and she snuggles close.  She tosses something over my shoulder, a
blanket, and places her head on my shoulder. "Life can't get better than
this." I thought as I wrap my arm around her. I hear her gentle breathing
and I know that my moment of peace has come at last. 

Author's notes:
Yes I know Ranma and Akane are a bit OOC, I don't give a damn actually
because this is how I see them, so there :p . Kidding aside, This is
another one of those short pieces that usually comes up just to relieve the
tension of everyday living , for me it's to take my mind off my studying
for a while (Accounting, accounting and more accounting AARgh!!!), anyway,
c&c appreciated (GUTB what you're doing ain't C&C kid!), MSTs....sure, why
not? Flames... whatever fits your moods.
