DAMN COMING UP WITH A TITLE FOR THIS WAS HARD!)

It's been a good while since Shu and Aria got to know each other and, he couldn't be more in love with her than he already was. He's heard about her from Zac many of times, he did talk about his sisters a lot, it got annoying at first, but then hearing the things Aria did intrigued him to listen to Zac when he talked about them. Xander on the other hand would get upset, and Zac and him would argue for hours on end because of it. 

The day he saw her, it was like he saw an angel with pure white light around her. It was like he could finally see color as one would say when they find the perfect one. Her smile was sweet as ever, her violet eyes shined even in the darkest days as if nothing can bring her down. She isn't the brightest person, but she is just too innocent for this world as Zac would constantly tell everyone. But when her sister and her walked into the room, the whole place light up. 

Now it was time to tell her his feelings, which he prays she understands what he is talking about and feels the same way. Nala, Aria's twin sister, said she did, but he doesn't know when to believe that girl cause Nala was something else. But he will confess to her. He can't hold his feelings back no more. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was just a typical afternoon for Shu; the day was ending and he was just ready to go home. He didn't even think about seeing Aria today, he was absolutely tired. But as soon as he got to the park, he heard sniffles coming from under the playground area. Why would someone be there so late? When he approached the sniffling form, his eyes widen when the forn lifted its head to meet his eyes.

"Aria!? What are you doing out here so late?" He said helping her up from under the playground structure. 

"I... I got lost. Nala is out of town and I needed to get something today, so I decided to go alone, and now I can't find my way home!" Aria cried hugging him. His cheeks turned a slight pink, but he hugged back. 

"It's a bit late for me to walk you home... Valt's place is the closest why don't we go there?" Shu suggested to her. She looked up at him and a slight shine was seen in her purple orchid eyes. 

"Please...?" He smiled and nodded. As they walked home, the silence was a bit awkward.

'Shu this is the perfect opportunity to tell her were in love... WHY CANT YOU DO IT COME ON' He said to himself.

"S-Shu?"

"Yes?" He responded to Aria.

"C-can I hold your hand...?" She asked softly. She looked up at him. Her pale purple orchid eyes shimmer with a gleam of hope.

"Sure, if it makes you feel safe." He said with a soft smile, but before she could grab it, a little cat ran by them and caused Aria to trip. "Aria!!" Shu grabbed her by the waist to catch her before she could hit the ground.

"A-are you ok?"

"Y-y-yeah..." Aria responded.

They stood there for a minute, before Shu pulled her up into his arms.

"... Shu... I... I need to-" Aria got cut off with Shu pulls her close. "S-shu... Whats wrong?"

"I can't hold it back."

"W-what do you mean...?"

"I... I know we hardly known each other... Its only been a few months. But I can't hold it back any longer."

"S-shu y-you're scaring me." Aria said shakily.

"I love you Ariana Rose Sunrise."

Silence filled the air.

'No... I knew it. She doesn't love me ba-'

"You do...?" Aria responded. He nodded after looking into her eyes with a shocked look. She smiled and teared up.

"I love you too... Shu Kurenai."

"... Ariana... Will You Be My Angel?" He asked.
