Welcome to Gaia! ::

Though it was important to Aki to know just what Topanga ment by not wanted anyone to snatch him up, he also did nto want to press her anf force an answer out of her. Instead of bring it up again he simply smiled and looked a little confused, replying with "i am not sure. you make my mind go happly blank with only thoughts of you." and it was the truth. becasue he did want her answer, but it was only her that he really wanted. she was shoeing him that she wanted to be with him, and he was showing her. And in the end isn't that all that matters?

Aki smiled as the blushing girl smiled up and him. The complment she gave he made him melt. If he did not want to scar her he would have asked for he fin right then and there. "i will" he whispered.

When she said she was having fun with him he nodded his head, "I know I have had fun, but never like this. No one has made my heart race so, or taken my breath away." As he spoke he started to move to the top of the rock close by. (the one she hid in the cave a while ago) Aki took them up there and sat down, keeping her on his lap. playing with her back fin a little. Looking out over the beautiful view that layed below them.

"that it is, but the most beautiful of all is here, with me" he gave the top of her head a kiss feeling her body shiver when he played with her back fin. A playful smile came accrost Aki's face remember that for another time, when the two where alone in different situation... He cut that though up very quickly. There where steps that he needed to take. and he would try to fallow them. He reasted his head on Topanga's happy to just be with her, here in this beautiful reef. He was working up the umph to ask her what was on his mind. but he was happy and did not know if he yet wanted to disturbe this inner peace he was feeling with her in his lap.

Aki did not even think about his responce when it left his lips, "not you are not, you are more beautiful then all this, then all the tanks togther" when it hit his what he said his blush matched hers. He could not image seeing this with anyone else. Her kind words and warm, beautiful smile pushed his curage to the level he needed it to me.

Aki took a deep breath, "Topanga, you are just so beautiful, there are not words in my vocabulary to describe you or your beauty." he took anohter breath, "Is there anyway you would be willing to have a family, with me?"

AKi heard both the skeptalism and the excitement in her voice and was unsure which one was more prominate. He suddenly got the feeling he over steped the boundries. I mean they did just meet... but he could not denye what was in his heart. He did not let go, and she had made no atempt to leave... Aki looked slightly away but could still see her out of the corner of his eye. "yes" came a small whipser from his mouth. the only word he was able to get out incase of rejection.

When Aki heard her respons he slowly turned his head to look at her. His blush dissapered and instead his face begane to glow.

When she brought up the question though a slight blush came back to his face. "I...I was thinking that too... but one of my tankmates told me something once, That you will know when you meet the right fish for you even if you only know them a short time. Okakopa can be wise sometimes..." his voice trailed off slightly as he got the rest of his though in order. "Even if you are not yet ready to be my mate, though that is my wish, I would still like to have children with you. I can think of no better fish to be a mother and a companion for me." As he spoke it was with all the honesty in his heart. He would not shy away from his heart now that he knew how she felt. The blush on his face faded the more in to his speech he got till there was nothing but honesty and love

Aki was not paying much attation to the blush the grew on her face. Though he did like the way it light her features, that little hint of red among her orange and green. He understood where she was comming from, he really did. And he knew he was asking a lot when he asked to be mated to her. Though he still felt that he wanted to more then anything else he also knew he was a bit older then a lot of the beta around, and many needed to live life a bit more before setling down. Aki was ready, Topanga was not. He did not let the slight hurt on his face becasue he was still happy that she was not trying to get away. Topanga wanted to be near him, just not mated yet.

Aki's eye grew slightly when she said the last of her lines. he had to take several deep breaths. Sometimes he hated being a guy... After the deep breaths he just had to make sure before things went anyfurther, "are you sure?" there was hope in his eyes and voice. That was all Aki could muster out till she answered. Even spending time, and possibly haveing children with this wonderful clown called Topanga would be ma dream come true to him.
