Hi everyone! This is my first fanfiction, so I'm not sure how it is. I made this story because of my love for Louis Asahina and I had a hard time looking for fanfics of him. I intended for this to be a one shot, but I think I'll be adding more chapters. I hope you enjoyed my story and thank you for reading it!

Ema sipped coffee and gazed at people passing by, smiling with content on a small cafe. Paris, it sure is different from Japan. Yet it feels strange that even though she is in a foreign land, she still feels safe and secure. It was their first trip to France since they decided to annually visit Louis' biological father. She looked at the man leaning his head on her shoulder. Louis, with his eyes closed and his long lashes fluttering against his cheek, breathing slowly. He is the reason she doesn't feel scared. Knowing that wherever she goes, no matter what happens, Louis will always be there for her.

"He must be exhausted", Ema said to herself. She was quite tired as well; they had a very exhausting day but she was too excited to just stay in the hotel and sleep. She wanted to walk around, try a French cafe, and see the sights and sounds of the city. However, she somehow feels guilty now since she didn't even consider that maybe Louis is already tired.

A few strands of Louis' hair fell on his face, and Ema placed the cup down and brushed the platinum strand off his face. She smiled and touched his cheek, in her heart feels that she made the right decision choosing him amongst all the Asahina brothers who confessed to her. Louis was the one who saw what was inside her heart and took care of her the best way he can. The warmth of his love and care spread across her being and before she knew it, she was already in love. She was also lucky, someone as kind, gentle and not to mention, handsome as him would fall in love with a simple girl like her. To think that she might have lost him if he decided to live in France, it would have been terribly unbearable! But he chose to be by her side, and he promised that they would never be apart. Ema closed her eyes and recalled all the events that happened the day before.

They had several activities planned as soon as they arrived to Paris. They would be visiting museums, shops, and all the best places they could cram in their morning and eat out for lunch. They would then have dinner with Louis' father and spent a bit of time with him in the evening. Throughout the day, Ema noticed that there was something different about Louis' behavior. He seems a fairly bit more alert. She also caught him staring at her more often than usual. When she asks him if there's something wrong, he would just smile and say "Hmm? It's nothing", trying to assure. He would usually explain why he's staring like her. Like how he admires her hair that day or how lovely her smile is. But it feels like he's hiding something, and she couldn't just ignore that feeling.

"Maybe I'll ask him later", she thought to herself. She couldn't just shake the thought off her head.

After dinner, Louis said that there's one place that he wants to take her. They took a cab and throughout the time they were in it, Ema was curious and quite nervous. She had always felt so relaxed with Louis, but something felt really different that day.

"Where are we going?" Ema asked.

Louis smiled and avoided her eyes "You'll see".

After what seemed like hours, they finally arrived at their destination. Ema couldn't believe her eyes. Louis had intended to take her to the Eiffel Tower. It was the most romantic sight she had ever seen. The tower was bathed in golden light, the dark sky amplifying its beauty.

"Louis, this is lovely!" she exclaimed in amazement. She stared at the tower then in Louis, "Oh my, I never realized how truly romantic it is at night until now. Thank you very much for this."

Her heart bursting with happiness and her eyes damp with tears, she wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled her face against his chest. She could hear his heartbeat; she listened to the steady beat that reminded her of the warmth and love coming from this man.

Louis held her tightly and said, "I'm glad you liked it. Actually, there's another reason why I took you here."

He then pulled away from Ema's embrace and held both her hands, leaving her confused. Wide-eyed, Ema stared at Louis, hoping for an explanation.

Louis looked straight into her eyes and said "Ema, when I first saw you, I knew that you were special. You are beautiful, everything about you is. But most of all, you are beautiful inside. You've accepted me for who I am, and had always supported me. I could not imagine living my life without you. I want you to stay beside me, and I will always love, protect, and support you".

He took a small box from his pocket and opened it, kneeled, then showed her its content. Inside was a very simple but lovely diamond ring. "Ema, will you marry me?"

Different thoughts swam inside Ema's mind as she stared at the ring. "What's going on? Is this a proposal? Am I being proposed to?" She moved her eyes towards Louis. She looked at his face and saw his eyes, and everything became clear to her. He wants to spend his life with her. Then and there she realized, for the longest time, she felt the same.

After all the initial confusion, she happily answered, "Y-yes, yes I will". Her vision blurred with tears, and her voice cracked. She will be married. After losing her parents, she had lost her biological family. But now, she will be starting her own family with this wonderful, gentle man. She will no longer be alone.

Louis stood straight, and took the ring from the box, then slipped it on to her ring finger. He then bent down and softly kissed her lips.

Ema opened her eyes and found Louis staring at her with sleepy eyes. "Hmm...Did I fall asleep?... What are we doing here...?" he said while rubbing his eyes. She forgot what she was thinking of and warmly smiled. "Louis-san, we're in a cafe close to our hotel. It's almost dark now, would you like for us to head back to the hotel and rest?" He sat up and yawned, "Yes...let's just have our dinner at the hotel".

They entered their hotel room and for the first time after getting to France did she realize how tired she really is. Louis asked her what she liked to have for dinner and then called to order. Ema then excused herself to take a shower. When she's done, she stepped out of the bathroom and saw Louis sitting by the table with dinner already waiting for her. She smiled, there were a couple of desserts on the table that she does not remember ordering.

"My dear Louis, always thoughtful", she said to herself.

"Chi-chan...Let's have our dinner." Louis stood up and assisted her to her seat.

During dinner, Ema talked about the things she saw that caught her interest, Louis listening while watching her gestures. Ema stopped talking and noticed that Louis has been quite throughout dinner.

"Louis-san, is there something wrong?"

He smiled "No, nothing's wrong, don't worry. I was just thinking of our future together... Ne, Chii-chan, do you already have a plan when we'd have our wedding?"

She smiled and said "I was thinking of us getting married after I graduate from university. I only have a couple of years left anyways. But if you want to wed earlier, that would be fine too. Or maybe, we could just submit our marriage registry once we get back and have the ceremony later. What do you think?". Suddenly, Ema felt her face getting warm. This is really happening, right? She consciously covered her cheeks with her hands.

Louis smiled and held out his hand from across the table. His hand is warm and relaxing, yet strong and assuring. "Yes, that would be the best way to do it". She blushed and held Louis' hand. The thought that she will be marrying this man as soon as they get back excited her!

After they were done and the plates taken out, Louis blow dried her hair as she sat by the edge of their bed. A realization dawned upon Ema. They were finally alone in the hotel room! Louis would be taking a shower; he most probably would only be wearing a robe once he's done. There was only one queen sized bed in the room. Her face started to heat up. What is she going to do?! Should she wear something? What would Louis think if she did? Would he think that she's avoiding him? But what would he think if he saw her naked between the sheets? Would he think she's being too forward? Since they have started going out, they have taken a bath together, they have slept side by side each other (take note: fully clothed), and that's about it. On the first evening they were on the same bed in Paris, they were too exhausted to do anything but sleep. Ema was too distracted with her thoughts that she didn't notice Louis turned the blow dryer off and brush her hair. The touch of his finger sent shivers all over her body, waking her back to her present predicament. Ema turned her head to look at Louis, but was surprised with a sudden kiss on the cheek from him.

He gently spoke close to her ear, his soft voice and warm breath sending shivers all over her body. "Chi-chan...I'll be taking a shower...You can just wait for me in bed...You don't have to wear anything"

Wide eyed, Ema watched as Louis walked towards the bathroom. "Oh dear! Did he read my mind?! I'm so nervous! What am going to do?" She stood up and took her clothes off, feeling extremely self-conscious. She laid her clothes on a chair then went to bed and slipped between the sheets. She sighed and thought that maybe she'd be able to think calmly while lying down.

"Everything is going to be fine. He's my fiance now", she told herself. As soon as she lied down, her eyelids felt heavy and she fell into a fitful sleep.

Ema woke up to a soft, warm touch on the back of her neck. Confused, she turned around to see Louis lying on his side facing her, his head resting on his hand. His long, silken hair fell down his back, the lights from the window illuminating his outline in the dark. She could feel him watching her.

"How long had I been sleeping? Oh no", she thought to herself.

"Ah...Did I wake you up? ... Sorry ...The back of your neck is so beautiful ... I couldn't resist the urge to kiss it." Louis said while stoking her hair.

Ema smiled "No, it's OK. Sorry, I was supposed to stay up and wait for you. Aren't you feeling tired, Louis-san?"

He bent closer to her and kissed her lips gently, "No, I want to spend the night close to you", he said in between kisses. He then kissed her again with ardor, the warmth of his mouth made her forget all her apprehensions. She held her arm around him, holding on for her dear life. She then felt his kisses trail lower, down her jaw, then her neck. His kisses were warm, filled with passion. Yet, his touch were gentle, filled with love and affection. She could feel her body heat rise and her heart pound against her chest. She closed her eyes and waited for his next move, her breathing became faster and shallow. She was nervous, that she has to admit. But she loves Louis, and she is willing to do everything to make him happy. A few seconds had passed, her loud heartbeat being the only sound she can hear, she doesn't feel any movement from Louis. She opened her eyes and peeked at Louis. With one arm hugging her, his face snuggled close to her neck, he was sound asleep at her side.

Ema stared, and then giggled. He really was tired after all, she thought as she lovingly stared at him. "My, my. You didn't have to push yourself, you know", she whispered in the dark. "I love you, thank you for being a part of my life".

She hugged him closer and kissed his forehead. "Maybe tomorrow...He'll finally…." she thought to herself, as her mind drifted off to sleep.
