Thump..... thump...... munch.....WHAT!!?

"Heart...will you give me a rest of an hour or two?I really need to sleep while you will not stop thumping so much...."

I have tried everything to sleep tonight.
It has been four hours since we were driven home,Uncle Goji had been happily staring at his phone since three hours ago while i have been in my room doing the following:

A:
Writing a new segment in my novel then drawing it which somehow kept turning into Kenshin in his kendo get up fighting firey supernatutral wolves.
b:
I tried counting sheep,cows,even the fur on Cookie which failed miserably while leading to a confused tongue lolling expression from my furry companion.
C:
I even tried yoga!
I HATE YOGA!

Nothing.
Nothing worked to keep my mind from that dance room.

I took that outstreched hand of his,i couldn't believe i even did it and tried to move along with him but gracefulness is about as near to me as the moon and i have better chance there than trying to dance here.
Kenshin was so merry after just seconds of watching me 'Dance' that he kissed my forehead before i had a chance to even form a response and the even odder part was.

He shocked himself,that bold swordsman actually blushed and i just stared in awe.

"You really are just too cute for me sometimes.I am sorry,i know i do not have your consent,forgive me."
I am shocked he actually kissed me at all honestly,i am short with hair like a straight wave of water and no figure compared to girls at school that are more than able to be models of clothes,bikinis anything really.

During all this though i am speechless and trying to watch my feet from breaking his.

Being two left footed is a harsh reality to me.
Kenshin starts to laugh again as he watches me watching my feet.

"May I?"
I look up and nod absently for some reason and he puts his arms gently around my waist and lifts me just enough so i am on the tip of his shoes.Endangering his feet only slightly less.

"I would like to be looked at if i am dancing with you,you are not so off beat as you think but i want your attention so i will take this initiative."
"You are so bold,do you realize just how bold you are?"
He nods so brazenly it is comical and my brain and mouth are so stupid the laugh inside of me bubbles and pops out.

The expression he has is like he has looked at the sun while listening to the best song he has ever heard for the first time.

"Don't ever stop doing that for anything."
His words hit me softly,the song playing is a melody i have always envisioned to be my wedding song,and for whatever reason things become that good quiet.
I have never been one to like quiet,it scares me to be completely honest but right now it is the nice kind and when Kenshin rests his head on the top of my head,humming the tune softly i say something unexpected,entirely so for he and i both.

"Is this real?"
"Hmm?"
"Is this real?How you act like you really like me,how you don't seem to view me as a ugly or unthinakble,how my past that i said will become an issue,isn't.Is this real?"

I keep even four hours later replaying this part in my head over and over until i can't do anything else but get up to find something to munch on and find a drama to watch until morning when i have to go to work.

He put his hand,while looking me dead in the eyes to make sure i am allowing it which i did,he gently puts his hands to my cheeks,saying softly to my eyes,to my thump thumping heart.

"More than certainly.Yes.With no doubts to my mind,i have liked you since i was very little and haven't ceased since then.I know you don't remember seeing me at other times it was because i was scared witless.I can not even fathom how ANYONE thinks you are ugly when i know for a fact most of the student body thinks you are beautiful."

"You never really wondered why they all pound on you so much have you beyond...what happened?Bullies and mean people are only threatened by what they think or know is better than they are.You have been my dream for years,and someone who can appreciate the goal that i started as a child.You are everything to me and i have no intention if letting you think otherwise."
"So'is this real?'I hope that answers that with a resounding yes.So,may we proceed with finishing this dance?Please."

"Oh stop for all of five minutes i am begging you stupid heart...."
I am muttering to myself ready to fling my tired body onto the couch while attempting to not keep rewinding the gentle head pat that Kenshin did before returning to dancing,to humming.
Before though i get to i am paused by Uncle Goji who is holding his smart phone up and angling it where he and i are side by side.

My eyes are question marks while he just continues to still look as giddy as earlier.I continue to munch on my plum rice ball when i see her face.
My uncles mysterious girlfriend,
A celebrity,
While i have a mouthful of plum and rice wearing anime pajamas.

"I am so happy to finally meet you!Yay!"
I wave,so stunned and mouth so full i am barely able to think straight.

My uncle is dating the queen of nineties pop.
KAORU ORANGE!?
