A/N: I swear, those bunnies are taking over my brain! :O

chocolate cake with red bean paste and whipped cream

..

"So, you know what to do, right?" he took a look at the manager's nametag, "Matsuto."

"Hai. Mr. Kurosaki. Please trust us. We are professional. We do this all the time."

"Good."

"All the best, Mr. Kurosaki."

"Just make sure not to screw up."

"Hai."

..

..

"Oh, Ichi-kun, this is delicious!"

She looked around the restaurant with her big, bright eyes shining with excitement.

"Oh, and this place is so very beautiful!"

"I'm glad you like these." He gave her a small smile and she blushed a pretty pink.

..

..

So, today is a very important day for Kurosaki Ichigo.

He took his girlfriend of seven years to a romantic western restaurant.

Candlelight dinner

Classical music

Expensive steak

Now, he just has to wait for the suitable moment to pop up the question.

..

"Excuse me, sir. Can we serve the dessert yet?"

"Sure, if you may."

..

From the corner of his eye, he saw one of the waiters brought over the dessert tray of her chocolate cake.

He cleared his throat.

His sweat-dampened hands clenched and relaxed on his thighs.

What if he screws up?

What if she says no?

He gulped and looked away when the waiter set down and uncovered her dessert in front of her.

..

It's now or never!

..

"O-Orihime, I know that we had been together for seven years, a-and, you know," he cleared his throat, "I-I mean, you bring out a side of me that I never know existed," his eyes soften and a small smile was on his face, "And I miss you when you are not around. I wish you could—"

"Ah~ This chocolate cake is heavenly~ You should try some too, Ichi-kun! This is the best chocolate cake with red bean paste and whipped cream in the whole wide world~!" She licked her spoon clean and asked shyly, "C-Can I have another one, Ichi-kun? Pretty please~"

"..."

"E-eto, Ichi-kun? Are you alright?" she looked at him worriedly, "You look a bit pale, in fact, you are very very pale right now!"

"Hime! Spit the cake out!"

"Eh?!"

He growled and get up from his seat.

She pouted and looked at her stomach, "B-But Ichi-kun! It's already in my stomach. We can order another one if—"

"N-No! You don't understand! Spit it out, Orihime!"

"I-I-I can't!"

"Hime, I asked them to put the damn proposal ring on that fucking cake!"

She just looked at him with her big eyes, her mouth forming an 'o' and she mumbled, "Proposal ring?"

"Shit! Someone please call 911!"

"I-I am so sorry! I didn't mean to eat the ring!"

"O-Oi, d-don't cry, Hime! Damn it, I'm taking you to the hospital!"

..

..

And so, that was how Mr. Kurosaki Ichigo proposed.

Evil grin :)
