Moving On

Chapter 1

Signum stirred when she heard someone knocking on her window. She dragged herself out of bed and looked out the balcony to find Touya standing on the railing with a smile on his face. If it weren't for the fact that she loved him, she would smack him for waking her up in the middle of the night.

"So, to what do I owe this occasion that I need to be woken up in the middle of the night?" she asked while Touya just smiled.

"Merry Christmas." he wished her. Signum groaned.

"You wake me up at midnight to just say that?" walking up to him, a frown on her face.

"Give me your hands." he asked, Signum raised her brow in curiosity but complied.

In one swift movement he pulled her up to him and floated off the balcony. Signum clung to him out of surprise and Touya couldn't help but laugh to which Signum responded with a pinch to back of his neck that silenced him.

"I didn't wake you up just to say that, I wanted to give you your Christmas present as well."

Signum looked at him with a puzzled expression. Then he took the moment in hand and pulled out a small black box from his pocket and flipping it open he allowed her to see its contents. Signum's eyes widened at the sight of the object, a beautiful platinum ring. Tears welled up in her eyes.

"Signum, will you gladly accept my request for your hand in marriage?" he asked.

Signum looked at him with tear filled eyes and without warning, pulled him into a kiss. He wrapped his arms around her to keep her from falling, returning the kiss with the same intensity. When they separated, he realized that she had shed her tears.

"Is that a yes?" he barely finished in time before she pulled him into a tight hug.

He happily slipped the ring onto her finger under the night sky. Signum could not express her joy in words and so she went out of her way to show him how much this meant to her. She pulled him into another kiss as they floated high into the clouds, the stars bearing witness to this beautiful and rare moment.

Signum woke up at eight o'clock in the morning with a smile on her face. Last night had been a real dream, Touya proposing at exactly twelve midnight, Christmas morning, under the moon and the stars. She could not help glancing at her finger every now and then to make sure she wasn't really dreaming. The rest of her family had noticed her sudden boost in happiness. They wondered what could have happened last night that caused Signum such happiness early in the morning.

"You're in a good mood. Want to tell me what happened last night? Have a good dream? A certain dream involving a certain boyfriend with jet black hair and eyes perhaps?" the brunette asked in a rather sarcastic tone.

Signum just smiled at her and moved about her day, leaving the rest of them to continue guessing.

After opening the presents and the sort, Signum headed out to meet with Touya. They have been dating for two years and his proposal was an affirmation that he wanted to move forward with their relationship. She was to meet him at the park where they will begin making plans for their wedding. She saw him waiting under a tree, smiling when he caught sight of her. She greeted him with a light kiss on the lips, taking hold of his arm as they strolled on to begin the planning.

Watching them amongst the bushes were five people, two redheads, one blonde, one brunette and one blue haired. They trailed behind slowly so as to not get caught and continued watching the two from a safe distance.

Signum and Touya entered a jewelry shop to pick out the wedding bands. They went over a huge selection of wedding bands and rings. They couldn't decide which one to buy and both wanted something simple but meaningful to which the attendant suggested a few that might suit. The man pulled out two sets of rings, one set gold and the other silver. Both were similar in design, consisting of several lines intertwined, making a beautiful pattern. Touya looked to Signum to help him pick one and so she decided on the silver bands. They bought it, happy with their choice and left the shop, the five people following them.

"So, we'll have the wedding at the Saint Church where Carim will do the procession. The garden they have will be nice enough and its outdoors." Touya suggested.

"Hmm, sounds good. Where do you want to stay after that? Hayate's house?" she laughed at his bewildered expression about her suggestion.

"No way are we staying in that house because those two red monsters would kill me before we even say 'I do'." making Signum laugh some more.

"Maybe somewhere out in the countryside but not too far from the city, a secluded area with trees and rivers."

"That sounds like a rather peaceful place to live in." throwing him a sweet smile.

"Then I'll look for a place like that." happy that she liked his suggestion.

"Surprise me." he chuckled lightly as he pulled her closer.

"Next on the list is making invitations and then we're going to see the florist and make a cake." Signum groaned at the amount of things that they need to do before the day is up.

Planning a wedding really is hard. The five following the two still have no idea of what is actually going on.
