Shon walked in and was greeted by quite a rare sight – Sato Sei whistling while making coffee. "You look awfully happy today!" Upon hearing Shon's voice, the tall blonde turn and gave her a boyish grin. "Of course" Shon smacked her forehead. "Why didn't I think of that?" Another voice came in "Cos' you're a baka!" Both turned around in search for the owner of the voice, the black hair pouted, "that was uncalled for Micky!"

The shorter woman giggled and kissed the pouted lips, "And you're my baka." "Okay, you're forgiven." Shon then leaned in for another kiss.

"Please stop flirting in front of me…" Sei sighed. "Aww… Come on man just bare for another 5 hours 23 minutes and 9 seconds." Shon stated and gave her friend a pat on the shoulder. The blond have been very lonely ever since Yumi went back to college. She has been counting the days till when her girlfriend will return and finally today is the day. It's a pity Sei could not attend Yumi's graduating ceremony, but she intend to give her a big present; to be exact it will be a huge present.

She have been preparing god knows since when, hoping the brunette will love her present. She went up to check for everything to be in order, "Be patient Sei, just another 4 hours more." It will be a special day for both of them, a very memorable one.

She reached down and touched her right pocket, "Yumi I really want to spend the rest of my life with you." Shon walked in and break her thoughts, "Hey dude, feeling nervous?" The blond turned around and smile, "Yeah, wait till it's your turn you will get cold feet or even pee in your pants." Her friend chuckled, "Then will you wash my pants for me?" Both of them laughed loudly at their own jokes, Shon then gave Sei a sincere smile, "I'm happy for you. I'm glad you found Yumi." The blond hair woman moved up and hugged her friend, "Yeah me too." "Ha-ha-ha, aren't we a little overwhelmed today." The black hair scratched her neck and patted the blonde, "And a little something from me and Micky." She shoved a nicely wrapped box towards the blonde. Sei quirked up her eyebrows curiously while she unwraps the gift she just received. "Wow… It's amazing, thanks!" She looked at the nicely crafted wooden piano, it's a music box in actual and the piece was composed by Micky herself. "You're welcome. Micky says the song is meant for you and Yumi. It's called Blessings. Early Happy Birthday anyway and good luck!"


Sei was loitering around the airport; she would get to see Yumi in another 10 minutes or so. "Maybe I should buy her some flowers?" looking at the different types of flower, the blonde was at a lost. "Argh! Forget it, Yumi don't really like flowers anyway." She quickly walked to the waiting area to look for her girlfriend.

Turning left and right, someone finally caught Sei's eye. "Yumi!" She ran forward and hugged the smaller woman tightly, like she would never let go of her ever again. "Koi! I missed you so much!" Yumi bent down and kiss her lover deeply. "Mmm…. I missed you too." The lovebirds are finally reunited.

Sei dragged Yumi's luggage in and placed it in the room. Tagging behind, the brown hair woman wondered why Sei was dressed in a marine blue dress shirt and long black slacks. "Koi are we going some where fancy for dinner?" The blond hair woman smile and passed a box to Yumi. The brunette raised her eyebrows and asked, "A welcome back present?" Giggling softly Sei leaned in and kissed her, "just open it."

Yumi opened the box to find a beautiful light pink dress, "Thank you it's beautiful." She then gave her lover a peck on the lips, "You're welcome. Why don't you change into it?" Sei motions her towards the room, she then settles on the couch waiting patiently for Yumi to change and come out. The blonde was mesmerized by the sight; it was as if she fell in love with the brunette all over again. "You look very beautiful in it. Do I have the honor to take you out for a dinner My Lady," she bent down in a gentlemen's way and brought forward her hand. The smaller woman giggled, "Are you playing Romeo today?" She allowed the tall blonde to lead her out of the house. "Even Juliet can't compete the beauty you possessed." She opened the car door for Yumi and gave her a handsome smile.

The smaller woman was pleased at the attention she received, "Ara… You're trying to smooth talk me so early?" Tilting her head a little, the taller woman could see the grin that was plastered on Yumi's face, "It's never too early to win the beauty's heart by sweet-talking." Upon this, Yumi leaned forward and kiss Sei, "You already have my heart, baka." The blonde was touched by her girlfriend heartfelt words, "Yes I'm the luckiest woman on Earth!"

Yumi was a little annoyed at first when Sei wouldn't tell her where they were going, but she was enjoying every moment with her beloved.

They finally arrived at their first destination, a nice and classy Italian restaurant. Both of them ordered their food and were enjoying the wonderful atmosphere there. The blonde stood up suddenly and brought her hand forward, "May I?" Yumi smile and reached up, it's been very long since the both of them have dance together.

Amazingly, both of them moved in unison, they were in their own world of happiness. They stopped when they noticed the food were here. Dancing one last time, Sei paid for the dinner at the counter. "Thank you Koi, I had a wonderful time tonight." The brown hair woman then gave her lover a peck on the cheek. Sei saw Yumi shivered and place her coat on her shoulders immediately. She then hugged the smaller woman and whispered in her ear, "Darling, this is not the real present yet."

Yumi was surprised when they arrived at the café. Most importantly there is no one around. Eyeing the blonde curiously she asked, "Not opened today?" Sei smile, "nope not opened today." She holds onto Yumi's hand as they walked together. "You will have to put this on." She moved behind her girlfriend and ties a black cloth to prevent her from seeing anything. The brunette pouts, "Not this again!" The taller woman chuckles, "Just bare with it a little Darling."

With each careful step, they finally reached the rooftop. "Wait here and don't remove the cloth." Sei disentangles their fingers and left. Tapping impatiently Yumi spoke, "Can I remove the cover now?" She felt her lover's warmth behind her and reached out for her. "Here's your surprised Darling." Sei spoke in a husky tone; her hands moved up and untied the cloth.

Yumi was awed by the sight; there were candles all around them as flakes of snow fall. Suddenly, she could here the sound of music, she then turned around. Sei was prepared at last, she had waited for this moment for her entire life, and she started singing.

There's something about you

I want to rescue

I don't even know you so what does that mean

Sei smiled at her thoughts. It was always Yumi who came to her rescue not the other way round.

Maybe I'm cynical

I'm painfully logical

You're tragic and beautiful and that's good enough for me

"I'm the tragic part and she's the beautiful one." She thought inwardly.

You're looking for a hero, but it's just my old tattoo
Tonight I swear I'd sell my soul to be a hero for you

Yes, Sei was willing to give her soul away just to be with the one she loves.

Who's going to save you
When the stars fall from your sky
And who's going to pull you in
When the tide gets too high
Who's going to hold you
When you turn out the lights
I won't lie I wish that I
Could be your superman tonight

She wants to be the one to save her, help her and love her. This was what Yumi had always given to her. "I want to be stronger, to be the one you can rely on."

If somebody sent you
An angel to save you
What would you tell him to turn him away

The brunette has always been her angel, her guardian angel who saved her not more than once.

That your heart don't break
That your lips don't kiss
That life is just a lie
That heaven don't exist?

Ever since her heart died she never believed in love anymore, till she met Yumi. It was then she realized what was meant to be love.

Who's going to save you
When the stars fall from your sky
And who's going to pull you in
When the tide gets too high
Who's going to hold you
When you turn out the lights
I won't lie I wish that I
Could be your superman tonight

She may not be liked superman, but she wants to give what her girlfriend gave her.

Who's going to fix you
The next time you break down
Stranded alone by the side of the road
It's your baggage that's dragging you down
Don't look back
Let it go

Yumi fixed her heart, she gave her a place to call home and taught her how to let go of her past.

Who's going to save you
When the stars fall from your sky
And who's going to pull you in
When the tide gets too high
Who's going to hold you
When you turn out the lights
I won't lie I wish that I
Was that superman

Who's going to save you
When the stars fall from your sky
And who's going to pull you in
When the tide gets too high
Who's going to hold you
When you turn out the lights
I won't lie I wish that I
Could be your superman tonight

The song ended and Sei spoke to break the silence. "I want to be your superman not only tonight but forever." She bent on one knee and took a nicely crafted ring out. Yumi on the other hand was crying in joy, she did not know that Sei would plan all this for her. The blond was a little anxious when she heard no reply, "hmm… I know we're still very young, but I had always thought of settling down with you. Would you marry me, Yumi?"

Speechless, the brunette nodded her head vigorously; she helped Sei up and kissed her passionately. "Yes! I love you so much of course I would marry you." Sei slipped the ring onto Yumi's ring finger and lifts her up. She laughed and shouted loudly, "Yumi said yes! I got myself a wife!" The smaller woman chuckled and kiss her soon to be wife again. "I love you too Yumi, more than anything." She then looks at the time and spoke, "The perfect present for my birthday. A very Happy Birthday to me." Both of them then lean in for a kiss of the beginning of their everlasting love.
