This story isn't hentai, but it is very ecchi. There are no descriptions 
of sexual activity or perversion, just a simple romantic story that goes 
much further then then the Manga's ever will. I hope you enjoy it!

	It was late. Later then normal.
	The temple glowed with moonlight as Keiichi and Belldandy stepped up to 
the front door, hand in hand. 
	"I had a wonderful time tonight, Keiichi-san," Belldandy said with a 
soft smile.
	"Anytime I spend with you is wonderful," Keiichi was quick to reply. He 
never missed a chance to remind Belldandy of how much she meant to him.
	A calm, peaceful silence floated about the two as Keiichi walked 
Belldandy down the hall. A silence accentuated by the fact that Urd and 
Skuld, Belldandy’s resident sister’s, had been taken on a girl’s weekend 
out, camping in the mountains with Keiichi’s sister Megumi.
	As they reached the door to Belldandy’s room, Keiichi opened it for 
her. "Goodnight, Belldandy," he said smiling. 
	"Goodnight, Keiichi-san" Belldandy smiled back at him. As they gazed 
into each others eyes, thoughts began running through Keiichi’s head at 
the speed of light... so many times had he been looking at Belldandy’s 
smiling face like this and he had done nothing. "Why?" he thought, "Why 
can’t I do it?" 
	Instinctively, the two gently embraced.  Holding Belldandy close, 
Keiichi continued to think. "Belldandy means so much to me, she’s always 
there for me, but... does she... does she want me to...?"  As the 
romantic moment lingered, Keiichi became more and more scared. 	
	Holding Keiichi so close, Belldandy could not help sensing Keiichi’s 
fear with her powers. She was confused as to why he could feel this way 
now, and concerned, as well. To comfort him, she pulled him a little 
tighter, letting out a soft moan.
	Suddenly, Keiichi felt his feelings change, and somehow, he felt a 
confidence he had never had before. Was it because Urd and Skuld were so 
far away? Or could it simply be the passing of time, just having known 
Belldandy for so long, that caused him to finally muster this kind of 
courage? He didn’t have time to answer before his instincts took over.
	Keiichi took a deep breath, and let go of Belldandy a little, just so 
he could see her face. Belldandy could not help returning his gaze. 
Seeing each-others eyes so close, they were both filled with such fear, 
yet somehow they could not look away. It was if a magnet was pulling 
them closer, ever so slowly, yet much to powerfully to even try to fight 
it. It was happening so quick, yet somehow lasted for an eternity.
	Their lips touched, and every feeling of fear and doubt flooded out of 
their bodies. They held each other tighter then they ever had before, 
and were both filled with such an incredible feeling of warmth and 
comfort. For the first time since Belldandy had arrived in Keiichi’s 
world, they didn’t feel like a couple, or like two people who liked each 
other... They were one. One spirit, one soul, one entity in this world. 
They felt a oneness with each other that could not be separated by any 
force, in Keiichi’s world or Belldandy’s heaven. Not even Kami-sama 
himself could separate them.
	The moment ended as quickly as it had began. As they let go, they both 
could not stop staring at each other’s smiling face. It was the first 
time Keiichi had ever kissed Belldandy, a moment, a feeling, that they 
both knew even then that they would never forget. 
	"Goodnight, Belldandy..." Keiichi whispered again as he slowly turned 
to walk back down the hall.
	Belldandy watched as Keiichi walked towards the darkness, and now it 
was her mind thinking at warp speed. "That felt so wonderful, but why 
did it never happen before? What has happened that made Keiichi so bold? 
Why was he never like that before?" Belldandy touched her lips, where 
Keiichi’s lips had touched just seconds ago. "I wish that had happened 
sooner. Was it because of me that Keiichi had not done it before?" 
Keiichi was about to close the door at the end of the hallway when 
Belldandy called out "Keiichi-san! Wait!" 
	Keiichi quickly turned around and opened the door again. "Belldandy? 
What is it? What’s wrong?"
	Belldandy panicked. "What am I doing!!?" She thought. But it was too 
late now. She had to finish what she started. After all, Keiichi had 
been so bold, as it turned out so wonderfully, it was her turn to 
finally show some bravery. 
	"Belldandy?" Her hesitation had worried Keiichi, he was now standing 
next to her again, his hand on her shoulder.
	Belldandy took a deep breath. "Keiichi-san, I... I don’t think I’ll be 
getting to sleep anytime soon... and..." She took another breath, "I 
would like it if you would stay with me for a little longer?"
	Keiichi’s felt like his heart skipped a beat. "The kiss alone was so 
wonderful" he thought, "but now this, too?" It had been more then a year 
and a half that Belldandy and he had stayed in the same house, and every 
night they slept in different rooms. "Could it be? Could she have just 
asked what I think she asked?"
	"Keiichi-san?" Belldandy was now worried that she had been too bold to 
soon.
	"I’d love too..." Keiichi managed a smile despite the lump in his 
throat. 
	Both were terrified as they entered Belldandy’s room. Belldandy’s bed 
had not been rolled up and put away, and her blankets were still 
cluttered on top. "Oh my, I forgot how much of a hurry we left in this 
mourning!" Belldandy blushed as she started to fix up the mess of 
blankets on the floor, but Keiichi stopped her.
	"Please, don’t worry about it, you know what my bed’s like when I have 
a morning class. A messy bed is no big deal to me, really!" Keiichi 
laughed a little, which made Belldandy laugh, too. 
	The ordeal with the blankets seemed to leave both Keiichi and Belldandy 
much less nervous. They smiled as they sat down together in the nest of 
blankets on the floor. Keiichi immediately put his arm around Belldandy, 
as she rested her head on his shoulder. For quite some time, they just 
sat there, together, enjoying the warmth of being so close.
	After several minutes, Keiichi planted a kiss on Belldandy’s forehead. 
Belldandy smiled as she then reached her arms around Keiichi and hugged 
him around his chest. Keiichi then pulled Belldandy a little closer, 
hugging her with both arms. All the while, the movement was causing the 
blankets to shift under them, and slowly they were laying down instead 
of sitting. 
	Belldandy’s hand was on Keiichi’s chest. She rubbed her hand up and 
down Keiichi’s shirt.  At the same time, Keiichi was rubbing Belldandy’s 
back, stroking her long brown hair.  Belldandy untucked Keiichi’s shirt 
a little and touched his body with her hand.  Her hand was cold, but 
somehow Keiichi managed not to jump, staying completely still as 
Belldandy rubbed her hand on his sides, touching his shoulder and his 
chest. 
	Without a word, they both lifted Keiichi’s shirt off of his body, and 
Belldandy hugged him again. She felt the muscles in his chest and his 
shoulder, tracing her hands along his body.  She knew Keiichi was not a 
big man, but somehow, as she felt his body like this, she knew that this 
man, the man who made the wish for her to stay with him forever, could 
always protect her in this world, no matter what happened. In that 
moment she  felt so safe, so warm. As long as Keiichi was here beside 
her, nothing could ever hurt her. The very thought made her body swoon, 
as she fell a limp in Keiichi’s arms. 
	Keiichi continued to hold Belldandy tight. With her head on his 
shoulder and her body limp in his arms, his thoughts began to wonder as 
well. Belldandy was from another world, she had magic's and powers he 
still did not know the full strengths of... yet this girl, somehow, 
needed him. Was it her naiveté, her lack of knowledge of this world? Or 
was it something more basic, a need simply to be protected by someone. 
Even though Belldandy was so much more powerful then he was, he felt she 
had given him a strength beyond anything else. It was his duty to see 
that nothing ever hurt her, and to make sure her every wish would come 
true. It was his obligation to see that nothing ever kept her from being 
happy. Holding Belldandy so close, he took a silent vow to himself. 
Keiichi felt an energy within him, and he pulled Belldandy even closer.
	As Keiichi’s hand felt Belldandy’s shoulders, he felt her dress slip 
slightly. Belldandy had pulled the strings that tied her dress in the 
front, causing them to fall un-done. Keiichi felt a lump in his throat 
again as his hand fell with Belldandy’s dress down her arm. He paused, 
looking down at her, her undergarments showing under her falling dress. 
Keiichi felt a feeling he had never felt before, and could hardly 
describe. Seeing Belldandy like this, he’d expect those thoughts so 
familiar with adolescents to be returning, but this feeling was 
completely different. This new, mature feeling overwhelmed his mind, 
driving away forever all those dreams and fantasies he had conjured up 
during his coming of age. This was the real thing, it was nothing like 
those hentai dreams, it was so much more... it had so much meaning 
beyond petty pleasure.  As his mind was wiped of all the myth's and 
legends he had heard as a teenager, he lifted Belldandy’s dress off the 
rest of the way.
	Belldandy was now clad only in her underwear. She shivered, and for the 
first time that night, she was scared. Despite all her powers, she felt 
so weak, so vulnerable. "What was going to happen now?" she thought  
"Maybe I shouldn’t have been so bold earlier..." She curled up, crossing 
her arms over her chest. She was shivering, it was so cold. 
	Keiichi touched her again, putting his hand on her shoulder, pulling 
her close again. He felt her shivering, and pulled a blanket up over the 
both of them. Belldandy immediately threw her arms around Keiichi. Her 
thoughts were so strong, Keiichi could almost feel them in his head, if 
not guess them from her actions. "I felt so cold when you let me go, I 
felt so empty without your touch, don’t ever let me go again!" 
	Her courage regained, Belldandy removed the rest of her clothes. Under 
the blanket, she hugged Keiichi with all the strength she had left. 
Keiichi too, held Belldandy as tight as he could. Neither was going to 
let go, not for anything in the world. They had come so far tonight, 
made such a huge leap from friendship to love, that both seemed to agree 
that this was enough for now. Belldandy squeezed her man tight, feeling 
his strong arms holding her fragile body, she knew she would trust him 
for ever and ever. Keiichi comforted his girl, her tiny limbs refusing 
to let him go, he was sure of his new obligation to protect her, no 
matter what the future would bring. As their consciousness ebbed from 
their bodies, it left nothing but emotion. Emotion of warmth and safety, 
and bliss. As the rest of the world faded to black, only one thought 
remained, a thought so powerful, they both could truly hear the other 
think it...
	"I love you."
