Chapter 2

Plans

Later that day, Eris and Shizuku are finished eating breakfast and is now relaxing in the living room. While watching television, Eris sits next to her fiancé with an arm around her. Shizuku blushes, but smiles at her anyway. When the show goes to commercial break, Eris is the first to speak up.

"Hey, Shizuku?"

"Yes, Erisu?"

"After we're married, what do you think will happen?"

"Well, like you mentioned earlier, we'll probably try having a family together and have a good life together. So, it most likely happen to us . . . at lest that's what I would think."

Eris stretches her arms. "Ah . . . I'm glad we've gotten through college. That way, we can have all the time we want together." She smirks at her lover. "Right, Shizuku?"

"Uh . . . r-right."

Eris giggles and stands up. "Well then, I'll go get some snack so we can watch the rest of the show."

"Alright."

With that, Eris leaves the room while Shizuku watches more commercials. In the kitchen, the tall blonde looks around for some chips and a bowl to put in. She finds the chips in the cabinet above her and a plastic bowl below it. Once she starts pouring the chips in, a picture suddenly catches her eye. It's a picture of her and Shizuku when they were going on New Years together. Eris was wearing a blue kimono while Shizuku was wearing a black Gothic-lolita dress Eris picked out for her. It was the most memorable moment they had in their life.

There's another when they were just starting college. They looked so great in that picture, especially in their new uniforms. Eris smiles and giggles softly at those two pictures. She can't believe Shizuku had kept them in the kitchen the whole time. With that in mind, she takes the chips back to the living room, just in time to watch the rest of the show.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Eris says as she places the bowl between them to share.

"Oh, no problem, Erisu." She suddenly feels arms wrap around her waist and looks down to notice her girlfriend hugging her. "Um. . . Erisu?"

"Ah . . . I just love you, Shizuku. You're my one and only lover in the world."

Shizuku can't help but smile at this and soon returns the hug. "Thanks, Erisu. I can say the same with you."


Early the next morning, Eris wakes up and gets out of bed. She decides to have a walk outside to get some fresh air while she lets Shizuku sleep in. After quickly getting dressed, she leaves the house and begins her peaceful walk. Looking up at the beautiful sky, she smiles and says, "What a beautiful morning!"

She puts her finger on her chin as she tries to think of something to spend during that time. They could always have breakfast together at a nearby restaurant. That would work. Then, maybe they could walk in the park together or go shopping. Or maybe go to an observatory downtown and enjoy looking at the stars. Either way, Eris knows that both of them will enjoy it.

"But . . . those we already did for the past 4 years. There has to be something special. Something that she and I never did at all."

She keeps on walking until she ends up in the streets. Looking around, she catches a picture frame store with a picture of Big Ben in the window. Gazing at the picture, it finally hits her.

"That's it! Why didn't I think of that all along!?"


"Hm? Travel overseas?"

"Yes! I want to take you to London with me!"

Shizuku raises an eyebrow. "But . . . I've never been there before."

"Exactly! That's why I want to take you there, to experience a new country, and have a special time together as a couple!"

"Um . . . I don't know. I'm not very familiar with foreigners."

Eris just giggles. "Come on, it will be fun! Just you and me, okay?"

Her lover keeps on staring at the ground, which makes Eris feel a little worried. She feels a little bad that she just threw that at her without thinking about the consequences. But despite all that, Eris really wants her lover to travel to her own country. Plus, she might like it there.

"Hey," she says, softly, putting a hand on her lover's shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll definitely be there for you if you have any trouble. Besides, I also want you to meet my parents."

"Your parents?"

"Mm-hmm. Since I met yours, I think it's high time you meet mine. So, what do you say? Are you willing?"

Shizuku hesitates for a bit as she fidgets with her fingers while nervously sliding her foot back and forth about a couple inches. Traveling overseas won't hurt, would it? For her, she has been in Japan all her life and she's eager to travel somewhere special for a change. Maybe Eris is right. There might be something she might like once she's in London and plus she will spend her vacation with her beloved.

"O-okay, I'll go." Shizuku says, quietly.

"Hooray!" Eris says cheerfully, practically jumping up in excitement. "Thank you so much, Shizuku! You're the best!" She launches herself at her lover, giving her a tight squeeze.

"E-Erisu!" Shizuku screams, instantly blushing like crazy. "D-don't do that! It's embarrassing!"

"Nothing's embarrassing, silly! I was just thanking you for giving me this opportunity to take you to my place for a change~!"

Eris keeps on squeezing her lover until she lets go. She then grabs Shizuku by the wrist and runs over to Shizuku's room.

"W-wait, Erisu!" She cries while trembling with fear. "Wh-what in the world are you doing?"

"Why, I'm gonna pick some clothes out for you! You can't go out in a kimono, you know?"

"N-no, it's fine. I can dress myself."

"Nope! You need to look nice for the trip." She picks out one outfit from Shizuku's closet. "Besides, we did plenty of shopping a few weeks ago, so it's useless to pick out your clothing by yourself."

"U-um . . . !"

"Now then, time to change~!"

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!"


A/N: Second chapter finished! It took a few hours to come up with this chapter. Oh, and yes, this story will mainly focus on Eris since most of you are fond of her, both physically and mentally. To be honest, I like her, too. She's really cute and funny. :D

Anyway, feel free to give out any suggestions, questions or concerns and don't forget to review! ;)
