loved not to let go of her. Now was actually the best opportunity to tell her what he was feeling.But how could he put this sweet, melancholy feeling into words? How should he explain to her that she was lighting up his world, that nobody meant as much to him as Asuka. That it was her eyes, her voice and her innocent nature that were the only things that really made him show feelings. He could have taken an unapproachable attitude towards her, he had even tried it before, but the thought of pushing Asuka back had caused him pain.
"Ryou !?" her voice suddenly asked.
He inevitably winced and in spite of everything produced a calm answer: "What?"
"Shall we not go up the rest of the way? Otherwise we will sit here until it gets dark!", She said in a somewhat shy voice and stood up, "Come on!"
She gave him a friendly smile, but looked equally nervous. Why was she suddenly so satisfied when Ryou held her in his arms. He didn't do the same otherwise, maybe that's why she was so nervous.Ryou immediately followed her over the rubble. It was a hard path, probably the hardest part around the northern tip, but also the numerous foreign hikers who also didn't seem to care about the snow, but were looking for the way down, use this path. A few times he had the feeling he was going to stumble and Asuka slipped a few times easily from a stone that was only loosely stuck in the ground. Again and again Ryou got a slight shock, but realized that Asuka could do well on her own. She was in good condition, he had to give her that.
After another small piece of light forest, they were finally there. The wind blew the damp, icy snow around their faces, but they didn't mind, the two of them had managed to climb Kolsåstoppen on their own. It was easier than Ryou had initially imagined. Asuka went to the edge of the mountain. There were different heights up here, one stone of the mountain towered higher than the other and there were trees up here too, which was a clear sign that the average temperature in summer had to be over ten degrees.The large housing estates stretched far under their feet and they could see the places around them well. You could probably see further when the weather was clear. Asuka looked down and let a little snow blow on her face. Ryou came to her side. It was a similar feeling to being at home when he was standing with her at the lighthouse and enjoying the silence. Neither of them said anything. He was just happy to have her here with him, ignoring the fact that the drifting snow was slowly getting stronger and the flakes no longer melted but remained on the ground and kept piling up.
"You won't find such extensive green spaces in our city," Asuka said quietly, "It's a beautiful country, don't you think?"
Ryou nodded slightly: "Already."
Asuka looked at him questioningly, he had never hit such a tortured undertone. Something in his voice sounded gloomy, as if he was unhappy and she really didn't know that from him.Ryou avoided looking her in the eye because he immediately recognized her searching looks.
"Ryou ... what's wrong?" She wanted to know.
She sounded braver than she actually felt. Did Ryou have something on his mind that he wanted to get rid of? Was it her? Suddenly so many questions popped up in her head that she didn't even know what to do. She didn't know exactly why she was panicking, she just couldn't do anything with his reaction. The silence that followed Asuka's question was also unbearable. Ryou didn't know what to say, actually the wordless communication had always worked without any difficulties between them. Now it was a little more complicated. Why couldn't he just bring the words out of his mouth?
He remembered Fubuki's words before he convinced the teaching staff to undertake this trip, Ryou could still remember the really serious expression on his best friend's face, who explained to him just as clearly and clearly: "Do you hide your feelings from her and you cannot to open your heart to her, then I don't even want you to get Asuka!Ryou, my sister is very fond of you, don't forget in your confusion that you could unconsciously hurt her and I couldn't bear that. "

"Ryou !?", Asuka said again, tearing him from his memories.
Asuka was still looking at him. Fubuki was right, he had to tell her, otherwise it would happen that neither he nor Fubuki would like to see, Asuka would get the feeling of having done something wrong. He took her delicate hands in his and made eye contact with Asuka. She blushed slightly when their eyes met. She got that warm feeling again that she had already felt at the river. The world around her suddenly disappeared, it wasn't cold anymore, all that mattered was Ryou. Asuka was surprised when she noticed that Ryou was slowly showing a loving smile. A rare sight, because otherwise he was always very serious and quiet.
"Asuka ..." he started, but stopped after he said her name softly.
Getting the words out of his lips was more difficult than he expected.His voice had become shaky, what if Asuka rejected him? He hadn't thought about that yet. If Asuka told him he was just a good friend to her, what should he do? Was he able to continue as before or would he experience such disappointment that it was difficult for him to continue standing next to her and just look at her. Ryou shook off the dark thought, he could worry about that when the time came. Once again he gathered his courage, ignored his hard beating heart and tried to complete his sentence:
"What ... I wanted to say was. Asuka! I ... my feelings for you have been ... changing for a while."
He paused again. Slowly broke eye contact. After all, he already had a beginning. Asuka looked at him uncertainly. He had seldom looked at her that way, what could be so difficult for him to say? She wanted to run away, but Kaiser's warm hands held hers gently.Why she had the feeling that in a few moments her world would be turned upside down, she didn't know, it was just a feeling that she had deep inside. Asuka feared a serious rift, tears slowly began to collect in her eyes, which she couldn't stop with the best will in the world. Ryou was confused, why did Asuka suddenly cry? He smiled lovingly at her and gently brushed a strand of hair back from her face.
"I love you Asuka!" He managed briefly.
The words went straight through Asuka's marrow and bone. What did he just say? Did he love her? The tears that had slowly gathered in her eyes now slowly rolled down her cheeks. It was these very words that I wanted to hear. But why did he look so sad about it? Was it so misunderstood?
As if out of a reflex, she wrapped her arms around him, snuggled against his body and did not hesitate to kiss his lips gently for a moment.Ryou was surprised by this spontaneous reaction so that he almost lost his balance and fell backwards. He caught himself, gently tightened his grip on Asuka and slowly deepened the gentle kiss. It was a sweet feeling that came over him, a warmth emanated from this kiss that he had never experienced before. Asuka's lips were so soft ... did they taste good too? He gently urged her to open her mouth and ran his tongue into it. Asuka let out a low gasp, but let herself into the gentle play of her tongue. It was Asuka, who broke the kiss again and first had to catch her breath. She was also surprised by her own act.
"Ryou! I love you too! For so long ...", she answered him and looked into his eyes with a smile.
Ryou couldn't answer that. He was happy. He was so happy to finally have it from his heart and the certainty that Asuka loved him too ensured that his nervousness subsided. Asuka lingered in his arm, the light snowfall had gradually turned into a real snowdrift during this brief moment.It was Ryou who broke the silence:
"We should make our way back. If it keeps snowing we will have problems!"
"You are right!", Asuka replied and walked ahead.

She stepped too hard on the smooth floor and inevitably slipped. Both Asuka and Ryou were frightened, she lost sight of him, had no support under her feet and had to quickly hold on to some outstanding branch in order not to fall into the depths. Ryou was panicked, threw himself to the edge of the mountain so as not to lean down too, and saw Asuka, who was clutching desperately.
"Asuka ...!", Ryou sounded panicked and quickly reached out both hands to her. It was dangerous if he couldn't get hold of her properly or if she slipped out of his hands, then she wouldn't survive this day anymore. Ryou grabbed Asuka's wrist, he didn't care, nothing should happen to Asuka.
"Ryou, be careful otherwise you will fall!", Asuka asked and tried to grab his hands with her left hand. Her whole body was shaky, it was not at all comfortable to hang so freely in the air. Ryou had trouble holding Asuka at all. The strain over the rock lying down and trying to keep a person from plunging into the depths made his body tremble. Asuka looked anxiously into his serious face, with great effort and effort he began to pull her up. The girl tried to help as best she could. Gradually the weight on his arms became lighter and Asuka was safe with him again, in his arms. He took a sigh of relief, held her tightly in his arms and kissed her head gently. He couldn't say how relieved he was. Asuka snuggled up of his white and blue uniform, she too was still trembling with shock and could hardly calm down.
"Thanks Ryou! But what do we do now?", She asked, "We can't come down here alone anymore ... the rocks are too steep!""Yes, you are right. We have no choice but to try to reach your brother on his cell phone so that he can somehow send help to us!", He replied and pressed Asuka to him. Only now did she notice that Ryou shed a few tears. She looked at him in surprise. "Thank you for saving me!", Asuka said and gently stroked his cheek, removing the occasional warm tears. She had never seen him like this before. This incident had frightened
