The meeting - Mai ~ 20, Naru ~ 21-
Taniyama Mai was nervous to say the least. She had been dating Naru for about two years now, not to mention the number of years that they had worked together before that. The reason she was so nervous was because he was waiting for her at a very fancy, five star, french restaurant.
'Oh . . . my . . . gosh' she thought, 'please don't let me be a klutz.'
Finally entering the restaurant after standing outside staring at it for all of five minutes. Standing just inside the door a steward walked up to her.
"Do you have a reservation miss?" He asked.
"Um, I'm meeting a Na. . Shibuya Kazuya. He should be here already I think." She told he uncertainly.
"I'll check miss." The steward told her leading the way to the reservation book. "Ah, yes. He has indeed arrived, let me show you to the table."
"Thank you." Mai said as he lead her to Naru's table.
Naru stood at their approach and nodded to the steward. Before pulling out the chair for Mai to sit down.
"I'm glad you could make it Mai. I was beginning to think you weren't coming." Naru said smirking.
"I was fashionably late." Mai retorted.
"Some since of fashion." He said smugly.
"I can leave any time you know." She stated calmly.
"Hmm, order anything you want Mai." Naru told her smoothly changing the topic.
Looking down at the menu Mai's eyes widened.
"A-are you sure? I mean everything is so expensive." she gasped.
"Don't worry about it Mai." He reassured her as the waiter came to take their orders.
When they got their food they ate in relative silence. Only speaking here and there when it was needed. It wasn't long before they had finished and Mai finally gave into her curiosity.
"Naru, why are we eating in such a nice place anyway? It's not that I don't like it. It's just. I mean. What's the occasion?" She asked looking at him quizzically.
"Always the impatient one aren't you Mai." Naru said standing.
Moving over to her he knelt pulling a small velvet bot out of his pocket.
"Taniyama Mai, would you please do me the honor of marrying me?" He asked. His eyes shining with hope.
"You. . .you said. . . you said please." Mai whispered shocked.
"Yeah, I did didn't I?" Naru smiled, a true smile, not his usual smirk.
"Yes, yes, my answer is yes, of course I'll marry you Naru, yes." She said, smiling as tears found their way down her face.
"Why are you crying?" Naru whispered suddenly nervous.
Instead of answering Mai knelt in front of him. Pulling him into a kiss and twining her arms around his neck.
"These are tears of joy Naru." She mumbled against his lips.
After they pulled apart Naru slipped the ring onto her finger.
"You soon will be mine. My beautiful fiancee." He said pulling her into another kiss.
