Once the door is opened, you find a shy and quite looking man standing there with flowers in his hands. He's looking down with his black, shiny hair covering part of his face. He is wearing a white hoodie with a white shirt on underneath.
"Hi, my name is Kiku Honda. I will be your neighbor next-door to you. I hope you take and enjoy my welcoming gift to you," he says as the beautiful bouquet of flowers are being thrusted gently toward you. When he looks up, you notice how mysterious his deep brown eyes are, with his cute Japanese-style hair-cut.
"Thanks Kiku! My name's _," you say to him as you gingerly grab the flowers out of his hands and smell the sweetness of them.
"Miss _. Did you possibly live here when you were younger?" he asks.
"Yes, why I did, and no need for the formalities. How did you know?" you say as curious to know the reason why he knew that you had lived here before.
"Well, Miss _, I think if I recall correctly, you and I used to go to the same Preschool and Kindergarten."
"Wait! Really!? Woah, I never knew you could remember that from so long ago!" you shout, amazed at his ability to recall things.
"Why thank you Miss _," he says while a little flustered at your remark, but smiling a small smile at you.
~Time skip brought to you by Kiku's love for salty foods~
About a couple of months have gone so quickly, but soon you learn more about Kiku. Like how he has this really strange obsession of miniaturizing things, and how he loves everything to be salty. He also never seems to show his emotions a lot, but as you two grew closer and closer, he starts to feel more and more comfortable with you and decides to open up more. Everyday he comes to visit you with something as a gift. One day he would bring salted tuna to cook for you, and another day he would bring you a sweet treat from Japan that you never could guess how he got them all. Both of you had found out that you love the same anime and so you start to watch it together, sometimes even staying up all night to finish it. You soon fall in love with the quiet,salt loving, Japanese guy, and always seem to get flustered about how he calls you Miss _. You've tried to get that habit of his to stop, but it's not working that well. You shudder as you remember the last time you tried.
[Flashback to "the last time"]
"Miss _, are you home," Kiku says as he knocks on the door.
"Yeah Kiku, just a second!" you yell to him trying to fix yourself up before he came in and saw what a mess you were. Once finished, you ran to the door to not keep your guest waiting long. You then invited Kiku in, and what to your surprise, had brought another anime in for you two to start watching.
"Hey Miss _!" Kiku exclaims, seeming really happy to see you today for some reason.
"Guess what anime I brought today?!"
"What?" you ask as you gently take the anime from KIku and flip it over so you can the back. 'The best romance anime ever made. Critics are calling it the anime version of the Notebook,' you read in your head. Your head just started fuming and your face turned a tomato red as you kept reading what it was about. You had thought of Kiku as a gentler guy, but you never would have thought that he would be into romance anime.
"Ummm… Kiku, you do know what anime we're watching, right?" you skeptically ask him, just to make sure he didn't leave the "right" one at his apartment.
"Y-yeah, Miss _," Kiku replies in a calm voice, but if you were looking up and not being so self-conscious about yourself, you would notice how Kiku's face got hotter than a volcano. All of a sudden a single thought pulled you out of your own little world and you faced Kiku, dead serious.
"Kiku, we're friends now, so please stop calling me Miss," you said with a somewhat stern voice.
"A-aye," was all poor Kiku was able to get out. In all truth, he really wanted to call you by your first name, but he felt that he didn't have the guts to or maybe you would get mad, and all of these situations got stuck in his poor head that ended up with you not liking him in the end.
"_-_," Kiku managed to stutter out.
"Y-yeah," you said back. You never knew how Kiku saying your first name would really affect you, but it was really making you all nervous. You thought about how it would probably be strained to talk and to hang-out anymore if he kept saying just your first name, so gave in just this once.
"K-kiku, I was t-thinking, and maybe it would be better if y-you just called me Miss _, instead," was all you managed to get out before Kiku lit up like a little puppy.
"Yeah! That works just fine with me Miss _," Kiku said, but was still a little disappointed in himself for being able to work up the courage to call you by your first name. The rest of the night, you two watched the romantic anime, which was actually better than you thought it was going to be, and cried your hearts out, holding each other for comfort.
[Flashback End]
After that, your life seemed to progress smoothly, but there would be some times where you would get little bumps and hiccups in the road, but you got over them easily. One day when Kiku came over with an anime in one hand, and something hidden in the other hand. You didn't want to try to pry at what was in his other hand, but you were pretty curious. When you sat down to watch the anime, he was still in the bathroom. By the time the water from the sink the running, the anime theme song had already ended. You suddenly couldn't see or feel anything on your face, except for two hands delicately wrapped around your eyes, and Kiku, being glad that you couldn't see his red flustered face, whispered in your ear to to keep your eyes closed. Once you agreed he took his hands off you eyes, and was fidgeting around with something. You then heard a piece of paper being unfolded and now you were really curious as to what this was. Kiku started saying something, but only at a whisper until it got louder and louder.
"_-_, I really really like, no wait, love you. I have for so long. In Preschool and Kindergarten, I saw you with all of the other boys and got really jealous, so I wanted to over there and just drag you over to where I was sitting, so I could have you all to myself. I can't believe we got to meet again, and I still love you. I love how kind and sweet you are, and how you're my best friend. I love everything about you! So will you please be my girlfriend?" Kiku says, and at the end, takes a big breath of air to calm himself down. His face is scarlet red all the way up to the tips of his ears, and it looks like there's smoke coming out of his ears too.
"I, I love you too!" you blurted out, but then a look of shock came over you because of what you just shouted out, until you turned around and saw Kiku, standing there with the biggest and most handsomest smile you have ever seen. With that answer, he slipped a necklace with your initials on it on your neck, and gave you a light peck on the cheek. You grabbed his hand and pulled his head down, just enough so that you could give him back a light kiss on the lips. Smiling with a red blush covering your face, you look at Kiku and realize that this is going to be one amazing lifetime as a couple.
