Walking in the snow.

This is one of those hour things and hopefully gives my dear friend Meeka-chan a bit of R/A fluffy goodness. Sorry it’s not a lemon. Do you need a disclaimer to know I don’t own Ranma ½ but I do own the idea for this fic and the others I’ve written.

Ranma stretches as he stands up from his sleeping mat. Looking out the window of the new day Ranma smiles gently as he watches the snow fall softly to the cold ground.
“This is perfect!” Ranma turns around grabbing clean clothes from his dresser. Sprinting out the door Ranma heads for he bathroom, his clean clothes tucked under his arm.
Ranma says thanks to any who’ll listen as he sees the unoccupied sigh is out. Dashing inside Ranma uses his chestnut fist to wash his hair and body as he sets a new record for getting cleaned. Ranma dresses quickly then races back up stairs smelling fresh from his time in the bathroom.
Ranma walks to Akane’s door then raps on it gently.
“Come in.” Came her sweet voice as Ranma smile spread across his face. Walking inside Ranma flops down on her bed as she is sitting at her desk.
“Hey ja notices the snow out there?” Ranma hopes this sounds casual.
“Yeah I did, I was thinking of talking a walk in it, wanna come?” Akane feels a slight glow moving across her cheeks as she watches her fiancée.
*Stop it he’ll notice then tease you for it.* Akane scolds herself.
“Yeah that’ll be great and we can get breakfast, let me get an umbrella and my gi…coat, I’ll meet ya down stairs.” Ranma ran quickly from her room, into his own.
Akane looked puzzled for a moment as she headed out of her room then down the stairs.
“All set?” Akane asked as Ranma bolted down the stairs landing with a soft thump on the landing.
“Yeah lets get going, I’m starved.” Ranma walked out side flipping he umbrella open for them to stand under. Akane smiled knowingly as they walked away from the house.

Ranma stopped on the bridge over looking the small river to watch the snow melting in the rushing waters.
“It’s so cool looking huh?” Ranma grinned at Akane who nodded her head in agreement.
Ranma turned away from the railing to see Ukyo walking toward the Tendo’s.
Turning quickly back around Ranma grabbed Akane around the waist pulling her closer. Akane sucked in her breath in surprise. “Ra..ra..ranma?” Akane asked softly.
“Shhh, it’s Ukyo I don’t have enough money to buy her breakfast too, if she sees to people hugging she won’t guess it’s us right?” Ranma smiled to himself as he thought.
*Ok I do have enough money, but I’m not sharing this day with any others!*
Akane smiled her own thoughts going in another direction.
*I don’t mind that he doesn’t have enough money the fact hat he wants to use it on me and no one else and he’s holding me makes this so great!* Akane put her hand over her mouth to suppress a giggle that was fighting to get out.
“Ok she’s gone lets get going.” Ranma kept his arm around Akane’s slender waist as they walked slowly toward an Ihop that had recently opened.
Ranma looked over his shoulder to see a familiar purple hiar girl on her bike with a deleivery box in hand. Pulling Akane quickly inside while keeping a tight grip on her as he crossed his fingers that Shampoo had not seen them.
“Some one else going by huh?” Akane asked as Ranma nodded while peeking out the window.
“This time was Shampoo, but we should be safe now. I heard Kuno say one time that he never eats American food that it’s deadly to his unique physic, or something stupid like that.” Akane laughed as they walked into the large restaurant. A elderly woman walked up with several menus in hand.
“Two for smoking or non smoking?”
“Non.” Ranma answered immediately, he always disliked the way his father’s pipe or my Tendo’s cigarettes smelled and tasted. Akane gave him an approving look as the waitress showed them the table.

Ranma sat in a booth with Akane both taking small sips of their water as the waited for he food to arrive.
“I’ve been wanting to go here since it opened.” Akane remarked as she looked around the crowded room.
“Me too, and their not bad for prices either.” Ranma smiled gratefully as the food arrived just as his stomach growled loudly.
“Just in time!” Ranma started eating with his usual gusto as Akane ate more sedately.
Ranma started making small talk as they ate breakfast. Akane listen to his words hearing but not hearing him as she seem to fall into a trance.
*He’s so cute and strong; I thought I’d burst with happiness when he hugged me. I’m so glad he wants us to be alone, it’s so romantic and so….huh?* Akane thoughts were brought back when the waitress asked them if they wanted anything else.
“Naah, I’m full how bout you Akane?” Akane nodded her head yes as Ranma stood up.
“I want to see the play ground covered in snow before the kids hit it, come on.” Ranma once again wrapped his arm around her waist causing her to blush twice as hard.

Ranma and Akane walked into the playground the blanket of snow covering everything with a glittering white.
“When I was little I never got o play on a play ground much, poop never had time for childish pleasures, I was always suppose to be training and that was it. I always looked at the other kids in envy, wishing it could be me out there playing.” Ranma looked around the large play area and into the woods where a familiar cry was heard.
“Sounds like Ryoga, should we go help him?” Akane asked not wanting to ruin the mood they had but not wanting to let her friend suffer out there.
“Naaaaaah he’ll be fine, he’ll come stumbling out some where around Ucchan’s place and she’ll feed him then lead him to our place.”
*Our place.* Akane felt her smile widen at the thought.
“Hey come over her let me push you on a swing!” Ranma shook her from her thoughts as he led her to the swings. Giving the swing a jiggle to get the snow off. Akane sat down as Ranma started pushing her.
“I guess this will be the only time I get to push you around huh?” Ranma laughed with Akane.
“You better enjoy it while you can!” Both filled the air with laughter as Ranma pushed her higher. Ranma stopped to seat him self on the swing next to hers.
Akane watched him as he got his own swing going.
“Akane one reason I wanted to be alone with ya was to give you this.” Ranma held out his right hand to her a small black velvet box in his hand.
“It’s not a pill box either!” Ranma blushed as he remembers that incident.
“Oooh Ranma.” Akane reached out for the box as their hands collided knocking the box out of his hand to fly toward the monkey bars.
“Oooh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!” Akane jumped from the swing running toward the box with Ranma beside her. Both grabbed the box at the same time, knocking their heads together.
“Ouch you got a hard head.” Akane exclaimed.
“Oooiiweeee, you too.” Ranma chuckled as Akane burst into laughter. Ranma sat beside Akane opening the box to reveal a small gold band with a single diamond in it.
“Ranma it’s beautiful, it’s the one I was looking at in the store how’d you know?” Akane asked As Ranma lifted it out of the box placing it gently into her finger.
“I saw you in the store, I jumped to the roof to watch you. I heard you tell the salesman that when your fiancée got off his lazy duff to buy you a ring this was the one you wanted. As soon as you left he store I went in and told him the fiancée with he lazy duff was going to be lazy no more. The clerk had laughed so hard he dropped I four times.” Ranma looked up into her deep brown eyes his heart beating wildly.
“I hope you’ll marry me Akane, please?” Ranma asked uncertainly.
“Of course I will.” Akane leaned toward Ranma her beautiful brown eyes softly closing as their lips touched gently.
*Yes, he’s all mine*
*I finally did it, got myself the girl of my dreams*
Ranma pulled Akane close as the continued to kiss by the monkey bars. Several parents walking by with their young children some smiling at the tenderness others were frowning at the public display of affection. Ranma and Akane noticing nothing but the wonderful warm love they have for each other.

The End Ranma’s girl
