Red & Silver
One thing I noticed about this sit is that there aren't many SosukexMiu fics, so I decided to write on of my own. Now don't expect a lot of lovey dovey stuff in here. This is also the first time I've written a story like this, so I hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 1: Missed Opportunity
It was a nice quiet August afternoon and Suto Miu was preparing to go out and spend some quality time with her good friend Rouyama Saki. All was pretty quiet nowadays, except for when the Gokaigers would engage the Zangyack. As with the other Go-Ongers, Miu settled into and pretty normal life. One major accuracne that happened in her time after the Go-Onger's run as heroes was that she and long time crush Esumi Sosuke, began dating over a year ago. It all began after their adventure with the Shinkengers when the Go-Ongers went off to face another Gairak leader in a different dimension. During this adventure, Miu and Sosuke found themselves separated from the others for a time and it was during this one on one time that there feelings for each other really began to blossom. Sense then, the two have been almost inseparable, spending almost all of their time together.
Sosuke and Miu spent so much time together that they nearly had no time for any one else. But today, Miu promised Saki that the two of them would spend the whole day together with no distractions. As Miu came out of her room, she noticed that there was a sharply dressed man waiting for her by the front door with a bokay of roses in his hands.
"Sosuke." Miu said with a broad smile on her face. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm came here to give these to you." Answered Sosuke handing her the roses.
"Oh, thank you." Miu said taking the roses from Sosuke and giving him a small kiss. "They're beautiful." Miu continued as she turned away from Sosuke to set the flowers down on a near by table. "I'll arrange them later, right now I've-" When she turn back around to face Sosuke, she noticed that Sosuke was now facing the front door. What was even more strange was that Sosuke had his eyes closed and was talking to himself. "Sosuke?" Sosuke turned around with a start at when he heard his name. "Is there something wrong?"
"No!" said Sosuke nervously. "There's just…" Sosuke then walked past Miu. Miu looked at her boyfriend with puzzled gaze. Before she could say another word, the front door opened and Hiroto walked in.
"Oh, hello Ani." Said Miu.
"Hello Miu." Replied Hiroto. "What's up with Sosuke?" Hiroto asked after taking one look at the former Go-On Red.
"I don't know." Answered Miu. Then with one look at the grandfather clock the Sutos keep by their front hallway, Miu grabbed her purse and began to make her leave. "I've got to go Ani, I'm late enough as it is. Please try to help Sosuke with whatever he is thinking of."
"No problem." Said Hiroto as Miu walked out and closed the door.
As Hiroto approached Sosuke, the former gold warrior caught some of what was coming out of Sosuke's mouth. From what Hiroto could gather, Sosuke was giving himself a pep talk. Before Hiroto could say anything, Sosuke exhaled deeply and started to talk. "Miu, the times that I am with you have been the happiest times of my life. I love you with all my heart and loving you has made me a better person. What I am trying to say Miu," Sosuke then turned around, crouched down to one knee and bowed his head "is that I would be honored if you would be my wife."
"I'm flattered." Said Hiroto jokingly. "But you're not my type."
Sosuke looked up and once he saw Hiroto, he fell backwards on his butt. "Hiroto!" said Sosuke with eyes wide open. "Where…where did-"
"Miu left." Said Hiroto as he extended his hand to help Sosuke up. "I take it you took too long to propose to her."
Sosuke nodded with a disappointed look on his face as he stood up. "Damn it. Why did I have try to find the right words?"
"Well, that's something I can't help you with." Said Hiroto. "Why don't you wait until Miu gets back and then ask her. In the meantime, you can help me rearrange the gym."
Sosuke sighed and followed Hiroto to the gold warriors workout area. For those of you wondering, the reason Hiroto is so calm with Sosuke about him asking Miu to marry him is because Sosuke asked Hiroto for his blessing. Hiroto was a little hesitant at first but after weighing Sosuke's pros and cons, in which the pros ultimately won out, Hiroto gave in and gave Sosuke his approval. As for what inspired Sosuke to want to ask Miu for her hand in marriage all happened about a month earlier. Miu was hanging out with Sosuke in his apartment. They didn't do anything special really. Sosuke and Miu just watched some TV, ate some dinner and talked about everyday little nothings. For reasons Sosuke couldn't explain, this felt very natural to him and he felt within his soul that he could do this with Miu everyday for the rest of his life. After giving it a little more thought, Sosuke came to the realization that Miu was the only woman for him and it was only right that they would be married.
After spending the afternoon helping Hiroto rearrange his gym, Sosuke was now pacing back and forth waiting for Miu to return. Once he heard Miu approaching the front door, Sosuke once again started to mentally prepare himself for what he was going to do. 'Alright, taking my time on this didn't work so the only way to go is to propose at Mach Speed.' Sosuke thought to himself. As Miu turned the doorknob, Sosuke went into the kitchen to make it look like he was doing something other then waiting for Miu to return.
"Hello." Said Miu coming up behind Sosuke and giving him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Hey." Said Sosuke turning around and kissing Miu fully on the lips. "How was your afternoon with Saki?"
"It was wonderful." Said Miu. Miu went on to explain the entire afternoon to Sosuke, however she had to summarize the events as Miu had also made plans with Saki to see a movie and get dinner later on. All the while, Hiroto was listening intently to what his little sister's reaction to Sosuke's proposal, all the while pretending to read a book. "I'm sorry honey." Said Miu apologetically. "I know I haven't been paying a lot of attention to you today but I promise tomorrow after your race, we will do anything you want."
"Anything?" said Sosuke with a smile.
"Anything." Repeated Miu.
"Well," began Sosuke while taking Miu's hands into his own "there really isn't anything special I want to do after the race. So maybe we could just go back to my place, order out, get married…"
"We had take out a few days ago." Said Miu. "So, I'll tell you what. Tomorrow before the race I'll do some grocery shopping and cook us up something great."
"Okay." Said Sosuke without thinking. When it struck him that Miu apparently didn't hear the "get married" part of what he said, Miu had already given him a kiss good bye and had already walked out the front door to rejoin the waiting Saki. Sosuke then turned to Hiroto who was equally as dumbfounded as Sosuke. "I DID mention something about marriage, didn't I?"
"I heard you." Answered Hiroto. "I guess Miu was more worried about making it to the movie on time."
As Sosuke let out a sign while shaking his head. Miu paused half way to her car and looked back to the villa.
"Is there something wrong Miu?" asked Saki from inside the car.
Miu turned back to Saki with a uncertain look on her face. Miu snapped out of her trans after Saki asked her a second time. "Oh, nothing's wrong." Miu finally answered. "Come on, we have a movie to catch." With that, Miu climbed into her car and the two girls drove off to the movie theater.
Sorry that there isn't anything special with this chapter. Like I said before, this is the first time I ever tried a story like this so please be patient. Thanks for reading and if you want, leave a review.
