I don't own Daa!Daa!Daa!

Warning: Newbie. Don't expect too much. I'm just going to do my best and try to make the characters as similar to the real characters as possible :p

This is based on the manga.

An Engaging Conversation

It was the evening of our graduation day. We just came back from the long ceremony and everyone was tired. We were on our way up the looooong steps of the Saionji temple. My parents and Uncle Hosho were walking in front of us, talking animatedly about the events that took place during the day and how their kids were quickly growing up. Kanata and I were silently following behind them. I was amused at how much energy our parents still had. Then, suddenly, their conversation turned to the topic on grandchildren. Uncle, who stopped walking, suddenly turned towards us and said with a huge grin, "Well… when can we expect them?"

I blushed immediately. After all, I knew what they were talking about. Kanata, on the other hand, wasn't listening to their conversation and asked with a bored look on his face, "Expect what exactly oyaji?"

"Grandchildren!" Mom had joined him in answering the question while Dad paled at the background.

I looked at Kanata to see if he was just as embarrassed as me only to see him blush, scowl, look away, and utter a "Baka oyaji" at their direction. To avoid the interrogation, he continued to walk right past them without answering their question.

Mom and Uncle laughed and kept on saying how shy Kanata was while Dad was screaming his head off saying things like, "They're still too young!" or "Miyu's still a little girl!" and the three proceeded to walk up the stairs.

I'm not sure how long it took me to get over the embarrassment of the question, all I know is when I looked up everyone had already finished climbing up the stairs.

As I made my way up the steps, I noticed a figure waiting for me at the landing. His head was rested at his palm on his knee looking absolutely bored. When he saw me, the person said with a very bored tone, "Took you long enough…"

I giggled. Who would've thought that Kanata Saionji would wait for someone? No one would've expect Kanata to be so thoughtful… well… except me. After all, he has done other spontaneous, sweet things in the past and all of those were for me only. (read: Chapter 33 and 40 of the manga)

I flashed him a huge grin and sat down beside him. For a while, both of us silently watched the full moon when he suddenly spoke.

"Ne…"

I looked at him, with a small smile on my face waiting for him to continue but he wasn't looking at me. In fact, he was purposely avoiding my gaze by looking straight up front, with a small blush across his face.

He was obviously waiting for a little push so I murmured a soft, "What is it?"

Still avoiding my gaze and now blushing more, he ungracefully handed me a little velvet box with a ribbon on top of it. I blinked once… twice… blushed intensely and muttered an "Uso…"

I must've looked completely stupid and disbelieving back then since it seemed to annoy Kanata.

He gave me a short look of annoyance then immediately faced front again. He suddenly stuck his tongue out, looked absolutely annoyed, and sarcastically said, "No I'm just kidding…" He looked like a kid who worked so hard on a hand-made gift only to have it unappreciated by the receiver.

After a few seconds of uncomfortable silence, me blushing madly while holding the box and staring at him and he still facing front obviously trying to calm himself, he directed his eyes towards me and said in an calm, anticipating tone, "Well?"

His gaze surprised me and I immediately diverted my eyes to the box I was holding. It was my turn to avoid his gaze. Still shocked from what was happening, I could only mutter a "W-well…. What?" to him.

A stupid question… duh Miyu, he's asking about the ring! But I can't help it! The shock was too much for me to handle! I couldn't think straight. It was even a miracle that I could formulate a sentence… composed of two words… (that must've been hard)

As I was raising my head to look at him, he immediately closed the gap between us and kissed me fully on the lips. It was a simple, sweet kiss - similar to the one we had when he confessed to me in Seiya's space ship. We broke it after a few seconds. He then looked me in the eyes and said with the usual bored, Kanata tone, "Will you marry me?"

Tears immediately started rushing down my cheeks. I threw myself at him – hugged him tightly and uttered to his chest, "Yes." I felt him run his hands through my hair lightly.

We were like that for a few seconds… enjoying the moment and each other's company when out of nowhere party poppers started… well, popping. It turns out, our parents saw everything that happened and were listening the whole time.

"That's my boy!!"

"I'm so happy for them!"

"My…little… girl… (sob)…(sob)…"

Kanata and I immediately broke apart, me looking completely embarrassed and he looking absolutely annoyed. He stood up and slowly approached his dad.

Step, "O-"

Step, "-ya-"

Step, "-ji…"

Uncle Hosho paled, said "Uh-oh," and started running for his dear life. Thus, the father-and-son-chase began yet again.

Mom and Dad immediately rushed and hugged me tightly. Mom was so excited and happy for me while Dad was really crying his heart out again, saying things like "My little girl…"

After a few minutes, my parents broke their hold from me. We watched the father-son race for a while, Kanata still not being able to catch his old man.

Mom and Dad decided to retire to the house after a few minutes of watching the two. I stayed a little longer. After realizing that this may take a while and not wanting to ruin the father-and-son moment, I started to silently make my way to our house. I was suddenly stopped by Kanata's voice.

"Miyu."

I turned and saw him momentarily stopping his chase after his father. I smiled at him, took a step forward and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Good night," I said and headed towards my house.

As I was turning, he suddenly grabbed hold of my hand. I looked at him and gave him a questioning look when I noticed that he was blushing again. I immediately blushed as well.

"We're not done yet," he said. He took the box that I was clutching, opened it, took out the ring and slid it to my finger. Before I could look at him, he immediately turned around, ran his hand through his hair and sighed. "Baka oyaji, interrupting and ruining the moment…"

I laughed and circled around him to face him. I gave him my biggest smile, looked him in the eye and said, "I love you" to him with all the courage and sincerity I could muster. He stared at me, his blush turned into a deeper shade of red and I made my way to my house. As I opened the door, Kanata, still not turning around, muttered a barely audible "I love you too," to me and he continued his pursuit of his father.

And that was how our engaging conversation ended.
