Summary: Shin had left the apartment a while ago and Nobu was going to be here soon. So he could pick up me for practice tonight. Shin agreed to not tell anyone until Nobu and I got to practice. Nana didn't go to work so luckily Nobu didn't have to lie to her.

I heard the doorbell ring and I knew it was Nobu. I quickly ran up to open up the door.

I quickly said, "welcome home, boyfriend."

He smiled and said, "shouldn't you wait till we actually have a home together?"

I blushed and said, "I just can't wait till I can wake up everyday to see you and seeing you everyday coming home."

He kissed the top of my head and said, "I wish it we were already living together. You look so adorable, Hachi. Are you ready to come to practice?"

I smiled and said, "I will be ready once you do something."

He pointed at himself and said, "do what?"

I teased, "you really don't know, do you?"

He let out a fake cry and said, "no if I knew I would do it so we can go to practice. I don't want to be late because then Nana will be mad at me."

I let out a sigh and said, "I'll be ready once you kiss me." His frown turned to a smile when I said kiss.

He happily said, "why didn't you say so? I've been waiting to do that all day." He leaned in to kiss me. I felt my heart beat faster and faster. He kissed me one of the most passionate kisses. In the kiss, he pulled me close to him and started to kiss me deeper. As we both pulled away we didn't say a word. Instead, Nobu took me by my hand so we could go to practice. I locked the door behind me, but Nobu continued to hold my hand.

During the taxi ride, I felt tired, so I put my head on Nobu's shoulder and closed my eyes till we got there.
At practice:
Nobu walked in while holding hands and our fingers interlocked. Everyone was here except Shin.
When Nobu and I walked in, Nana said, "where's Shin?"
I shrugged and said, "I don't know. Did you try to call him?"
Yasu replied, "I did, but he didn't answer." I started to get worried about Shin. Was he mad because of me getting pregnant?

I said, "why, don't I call him?"

Nana said, "alright." I pulled Nobu's hand to guide him to go with me outside of the studio.

When we got out of the studio, Nobu said, "did you miss us being alone this much?'

I laughed at Nobu and said, "well yes, but we need to call Shin. I told him about how I was going to move in with you. I'm afraid that he might have run off annoyed of us. He seemed really good with the news because he comforted me, but I'm still worried."

He said, "don't worry, I'm sure he is just late." Nobu then guided me to the bench outside of the studio so we could sit down together. As I was dialing Shin's number, I gave Nobu a concerned look. I wanted him to give me some needed comfort. He gave me the comfort I needed by putting his arm around me. As the phone was ringing I became more nervous.
Shin answered, "hey."
I quickly answered, "Shin, where are you? You're late for practice so I was starting to worry."
Shin sadly said, "sorry I didn't mean to worry everyone especially you." I smiled at Nobu to give the sign that Shin was ok.

I said, "it's alright. When are you going to be coming?"

Shin replied, "I'm actually heading over right now."

I said, "well I'll see you when you come here, bye."

Shin said, "bye, see you soon," and hung up.
As I put my phone down, Nobu looked over at me and said, "so is Shin good?"

I smiled and said, "yeah, he should be here soon. Do you want to wait for him or go back inside?"

He kissed me on my cheek and said, "whatever you want, my Hachi." Whenever Nobu calls me by my nickname (My Hachi), I can't help, but smile. It makes me feel like I'm truly his with the my in front of my nickname.

I said, "we can wait for him so we have some alone time till he gets here."

Nobu teased, "oh, so what exactly can we do alone?"

I shrugged and said, "I don't know, it's just nice to be alone." A few minutes later Shin got here so we all walked to the studio.

As we walked in, I said, "so after practice or something, Nobu and I have an announcement. When I finished everyone looked over at Nobu and I. I started to blush a bit and I looked on the side of me to see Nobu blushing too.

Yasu looked over at us and said, "why don't you guys tell us now?"

Nobu quickly said, "well Hachi and I are moving into an apartment together since Hachi is pregnant." I don't think Nobu meant to say as quickly as he did because he looked like he just said something regretful.

Nana walked over and shook Nobu as she said, "what were you thinking Nobu? Didn't you guys wear protection?"

Nobu blushed and looked to the side as he said, "well yeah, but.."

I interrupted Nobu as I said, "don't blame Nobu, it's my fault. I was the one," I broke into tears at this point and struggled to continue to say, "-the one who slept with Takumi." Nana looked shocked and looked like I just told her that someone had just died.

She stuttered, "the b-baby, it could be T-Takumi's?" I tried to speak, but all I could do was nod as more tears fell. Nobu continued to comfort me as he held me with his arm around me.

When I finally could speak I said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come. I really messed up and now I messed everybody's life. I'm sorry Nana, Yasu, Shin, N-Nobu. I'll get an abortion so I don't have to ruin everyone's life." I let go and Nobu's warm, comforting hand and ran out. While running, I could barely see through my eyes and could barely breathe. I ran outside to the bench and put my hands to cover my teary eyes. A few moments and I felt someone's arms around me. They pulled me close to their warm chest. I slowly moved my hands away from my face to see Nobu teary eyed. I couldn't speak so I just put my arms around Nobu and cried into his warm chest. Nobu has always been there for me. He was someone I could rely on and trust.

After a little bit, holding onto Nobu made me stop crying. So Nobu and I sat on a bench holding each other.
He said, "we should leave. If they don't support us then they were never friends to begin with."

I stuttered, "but Nana is your friend."

He said, "listen to me, I love you. You are the only person who I want to spend my whole life with. No one can stand in my way to be with you. I love you and I will do everything in my power to be you happy." I couldn't help, but tear up when he told me everything.

I put my head on his shoulder. As I said, "I love you too and I will never let anything or anyone come between us," I felt several tears fall down from my face.

He happily said, "hey, why don't we walk home? I live close by and that way save money."

I smiled and said, "as long as you promise to hold my hand, now and forever." He got up from the bench and guided my hand to get up too so we could walk together. As were walking, we didn't say a word. We just held hands as we walked down and occasionally stopped to kiss or look up at the stars. After a little bit, we arrived at the path we always took to get home. I continued to have flashbacks as we walked through it. It was where we had our first kiss, where Nobu told me all sweet things. We continued to say nothing because we were happy enjoying each other's company. Eventually, Nobu stopped me and guided me to a bench. He sat me down and said, "close your eyes, I have a surprise for you." I covered my eyes with my hands so I couldn't peek.

I heard Nobu's warm voice say, "move your hands from your face, but don't open your eyes." I slowly pulled my hands from my eyes and continued to close my eyes. I felt Nobu's hand onto mine as he interlocked his fingers into mine.
He said, "ok you can open your beautiful eyes." I slowly opened my eyes to see Nobu on one knee. That appearance alone made me tear up.

He warmly said, "I love you now and forever. I promise to do everything to support and love you. For you and the baby. "So," he began to pull the ring box out and said, "Nana Komatsu, will you marry me?" I was speechless, I couldn't speak. All I could do was nod and stutter, "yes, of course." He slowly put the sparkly, silver ring onto my finger. I leaned in this time to give the passionate kiss, I've been waiting to surprise him with. I pulled his face close to me so he would know what was coming. When we both pulled away, breathless. We both put our arms out so we could be in each other's embrace. I pulled him close and felt the happy tears fall from my face and probably Nobu's. After a little bit, we walked hand and hand to walk home. Nobu was always the hand I wanted to hold forever. When we both arrived at Nobu's apartment, I lead Nobu to his bedroom. I pulled him close me into a hug and he lead me to the bed and we fell asleep while I was up in his arms.
