Onodera POV

"Masamune..." I whisper

I slowly turn myself around to see Takano-san wearing a white mask covering half of his face with a black cape covering his entire outfit. I raise an eyebrow of confusion to see Masamune wearing a costume even though he wasn't going to the party. Though none of that matters at the moment since he is here with me right now. Placing myself against his chest feeling the warmth and protection from Masamune. Feeling his hand lifting my chin up as he kissed my tears away , I could never get tired by his kisses.

"I thought you weren't coming back till tomorrow" I said

"So did I but once I heard you left the party I have to come find you" he replied

"I miss you so much"

"I miss you too, Ritsu"

With him just saying my name bring chills all over my body even though he said my name multiple times. Can't believe he missed me as well just like I miss him even it was just for today. He led me up back onto my feet before pulling me in a tight embrace which makes my heart flutters. Our hearts were beating at the same pace, my arms were wrapped around Masamune as his arms were wrapped around my waist. His golden amber eyes met my emerald green eyes, I looked away with a blush creeping up my cheeks.

"Don't look away from me" said Masamune

"But..."

"But what?"

"Looking into eyes will make me love you even more"

Takano-san eyes widen as I confessed to him of what I was actually feeling from the bottom of my heart. I wanted to push myself away from him but my feet won't let me or was it my heart? I can't deny it anymore, no matter how many times I told myself that I don't love Masamune anymore but that was a lied. I still love Masamune even when we broke up I still him though not the past him anymore but the present him.

"Ritsu.." Masamune whisper

"Masamune..."

"Happy Birthday"

My heart pounded against my chest as soon I heard him said that. He remembers my birthday while I didn't care about it since with work and the problem I was facing Masamune still remember my birthday. I wanted to cry right now but my beloved places his lips on my own. I kiss back pulling him closer as we kissed deeply, his tongue enter my mouth that let a moan escape from my mouth. His tongue dance along with mine as they twist and twirl around each others. Masamune broke the kiss as he breathes heavily while he puts his forehead against mine.

"We never finish our dance last night," I said

Masamune smirk "Shall we continue our dance, my princess?"

I giggle quietly "Baka.."

"But I'm your baka"

Laughing lightly together as my hands were on Masamune shoulders while his arms were still wrapped around me. He leads the dance once again as our feet moved across the forest seeing the Sakura petals twirl around us. My head lay against his chest as we dance quietly with no one disturbing us. I thought I heard music again playing just for us.

"Masamune..."

"Shhh, Listen to my voice"

I didn't know what was happen at the moment but all I know is that I'm hearing beautiful music and Masamune singing to me pouring his love to me

The Music of the night

Night time sharpens

Heightens each sensation

Darkness stirs and wakes

Imagination

Silently the senses

Abandon their defenses

Slowly, gently

Night unfurls its splendor

Grasp it, sense it

Tremulous and tender

Turn your face away

From the garish light of day

Turn your thoughts away

From cold, unfeeling light

And listen to the music of the night

Close your eyes

And surrender to your darkest dreams

Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before

Close your eyes

Let your spirits start to soar

And you live as you never lived before

Softly, deftly

Music shall caress you

Hear it, feel it

Secretly possess you

Open up your mind

Let your fantasies unwind

In this darkness you know you cannot fight

Listen to the music of the night

Let your mind

Start a journey through a strange new world

Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before

Let your soul take where you long to be

Only then can you belong to me

Floating, falling

Sweet intoxication

Touch me, trust me

Savor each sensation

Let the dream begin

Let your darker side give in

To the power of the music that I write

The power of the music of the night

Masamune voice as he sang to me felt so powerful and lovingly making the wind blow the Sakura petals once more. The twirling petals spun around us once more but this much longer but don't how long it lasted. Until him singing his beautiful voice once more as we dance inside the swirling petals.

You alone can make my song take flight

Help me make the music of the ...

Night

As my love finish singing that beautiful song I couldn't help but smile brightly. Hugging him tightly might have caught him off guard but who cares. Masamune hugged me before lifting me up in bridal styles spinning us around. We began to laugh happily as we fell on the ground letting the trees cover us with their glowing Sakura petals.

Masamune and I lay down together side by side looking at the stars shining brighter than the Sakura petals.

"Masamune, Arigato this is the best birthday ever"

"Anything for my beloved and one more thing"

"What is it?"

"Close your eyes"

"Huh?"

"Just do it"

"Alright , alright"

As my eyes were shut tightly I heard a few noises coming from Masamune but didn't question about it. I wasn't sure how much longer I was gonna keep my eyes shut.

"Now open" Masamune commanded

As my eyes slowly open I saw a bright silver ring on my right ring finger. My face grew hot while my heart began pounding on my chest begging to pop out. Masamune laughs quietly before kissing the back of my right hand. I notice he also had a ring on his right ring finger, making me nervous even more.

"Are these what I think they are?" I asked

"Yes, they're promise rings I got one for both of us"

"Why?"

"I love you that why and always will"

"Masamune, I don't know what to said"

"Don't say anything right now, There a few words I need to tell you"

"Alright"

"Onodera Ritsu, Ever since high school year I didn't really care about anyone else at the time and never made any real friends. When I first met you and confess your feelings to me I thought it was a joke and so I decided to play with your emotions and break you up real soon. Though later on I began noticing how much you actually care about me even after I snap at you. I never got to apologize to correctly. I'm sorry I yell at you that day since my parents weren't home that much. I want to let you know that I'll always love you no matter what ok. I was devastated when I lost you, find out you had a fiancee, and when I learn you started working with the Emerald department I couldn't but be relief that you're still alive and came back into my life"

"Takano-san.."

"No wait let me finish. I regretted that for laughing when you asked me if we're going out. I got so nervously that I laugh out loud instead of answering yes. Every day and every year I miss you with all my heart and wish we meet again one day. And now I can't image a life without you. All I'm asking is...Onodera Ritsu will you promise me never to leave my side ever again and hopefully married me in the future?"

The tears were watering my eyes hearing Masamune true feelings for me. He really never stops loving me even after ten years he kept wishing to see me again. During my time in England every night I wish to see him again as well. Placing myself against Masamune once before kissing him softly. The kiss lasted a couple of seconds before breaking it as our forehead were pressed against each others. I wanted to open my mouth and said something but Masamune places his finger on my lips.

"You don't have to answer now Ritsu. I'll wait as long as it takes even I'll have to wait another ten years"

"Thank you, Masamune"

"Ritsu, I love you"

"I love you too Masamune"

I finally confess my feelings to my first love once more even I'll have to decide about his confession and promise. We lay underneath the largest Sakura tree before falling asleep together.
