You thought all this time that I never missed you,
Coming back,
Give it your life,
This is your rescue
It's been 10 years since that night, when everything changed, and Misaki Ayuzawa, now a high-class lawyer, has just been proposed to.
She stares at the large, gaudy ring in its ridiculously plush bedding and forces herself not to cry. Regardless, tears stream down her cheeks "oh God," Hinata buries his face in his hands, resting his elbow on his knee "it's too much! I knew I should've gone for a more subtle approach"
"No!" Misaki reached out and pulled his head up so she's looking into his eyes, desperately hoping he doesn't see the disappointment in hers "you've done nothing wrong. I'm just really happy" she smiles weakly and hopes it's enough to convince him. It is; Hinata grins and leaps back onto his chair, eagerly opening the menu of the restaurant and scanning the pages at expert speed. Misaki smiled again and swallowed, struggling to shift the lump that had lodged in her throat and ignoring the twists that were increasing rapidly in her stomach. She looked down at the ring in her lap and closed her eyes; plipplop sounded her tears on the case, leaving behind dark stains on the satin as they dried
"Misaki?" a soft voice from across the table reaches out a comforting hand, she quickly wipes her face and smiles at Hinata, she should pretend to be happy, even though she feels like she falling into an abyss.
"I'm just really happy" she repeats, he smiles back and returns to the menu while Misaki hides the ring in her pocket, hoping to forget all about it for the moment.
