Hey guys! I'm baaaack! Sorry for the cliffie last time! Anyways, I'll stop talking and get on with the writing!

Now on with the show!

He moved in front of her and got down on one knee. "Ashiya Mizuki. I love you and want to be by your side forever. Will you marry me?"

Currently

She looked in amazement at him, not believing what she just heard. Her eyes teared up again, as she whispered a choked, "Yes. Of course! I love you, Izumi. I'd never want to be with anyone else! Yes!" He took her hand and slipped the ring on. It was an ornate gold band with an intricate vine pattern and a small diamond. He took it out of the velvet green box and slipped it on the ring finger of her left hand, before pulling her into his embrace and kissing her with passion. Before things got overheated or anybody saw them, he scooped Mizuki up once again, this time she didn't protest. He carried her the rest of the way to the infirmary without running into anyone, luckily.

Once there he laid her down on one of the beds and searched through the cabinets to find a sleeping pill. He retrieved a water bottle from the mini fridge near the desk and handed both to her. He sat by her, stroking her hair until she fell asleep and stayed there the rest of the night.

Dr. Umeda walked in in the morning, a little disheveled from the early awakening, completely oblivious to the couple until he turned around. "GYAAA! What are you two doing here? This ain't no hotel! Get outta he-" He was cut off by a hand to his mouth. Sano had woken to the racket Umeda had made coming in.

"Shhh! She's sleeping! Don't wake her; she had a rough night." They looked at the sleeping girl, who turned, whimpering in her sleep. Sano immediately returned to the bed, stroking her hair. She was now half awake, wrapping her arms around Sano, exposing her ring to Umeda. She was still out of it, so she didn't understand Umeda when he said, "ah. So that's why she had a rough night. Congratulations again! Now, get out of my room."

Sano proceeded to wake her, brushing the hair out of her face. Her eyes slowly fluttered open to the face she has loved for so long. "Mornin'… I don't wanna get up…"

Sano smiled and realized for the thousandth time in the past week, that he was the luckiest man alive. "Mizuki, it's almost 8 o'clock. We have to go to breakfast."

Reality quickly set in and she bolted upright. "Oh my god! I've got to get dressed! COME ON!" She jumped out of bed and ran out the door.

Sano and Mizuki made it to breakfast almost on time, and it was fine. They were sitting at the table with everyone else when Sekeme almost choked on his pancakes.

"What the hell? Why does Mizuki have a ring? Is that what I think it is?"

"Oh my god I think it is! Well, Mizuki? Is it? Did Sano propose?" Nanba pestered.

Hiding the ring under the table, she stuttered, "NO! It's not what you think! I-" Everyone could tell she was lying due to the hue of her and Sano's faces. They erupted in congratulations and disgusted gagging.
"Hey! We gotta throw a party! The club on the corner, tonight at ten! Invite everybody! Come on! I'll reserve the place! It'll be great!" All the guys slapped high fives and clapped the two on the back.

Nakao said he'd make the invitations on his laptop right then. He whipped out his little dell notebook and typed like there was no tomorrow. He was done within five minutes and hurried back to his room to get the printed invitations. He scurried back with an all-too-large stack of papers in his hand. He handed one to Mizuki and Sano, the rest of the table, and rushed off to hand them out to the rest of the school. Sano sighed and looked at the invitation.

You're invited to Sano Izumi and Ashiya Mizuki's engagement party!

When: Tonight (December 10th)

Where: The Pulse Night Club

Say congrats to the happy couple! Be there tonight to wish them well!

The card was a light blue and purple with a white rose border. Classic Nakao. He flitted around handing out invites to everybody he saw, then skittered out the door to visit dorm three next. Thankfully, the bell rang as soon as he left. Saved by the bell, yet again.

All throughout the day, they were getting claps on the shoulder and congratulations from everybody. Mizuki made a decision seeing how excited everybody was. If she didn't reveal her secret to the group, they would try to throw her a bachelor party for her. No, she had to tell them before the engagement party, or they would all be too drunk to react in a civilized manner.
