Chapter 9

Misaki looked at Usagi in complete and utter shock. "W-What?" Misaki opened and closed his mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. Did he just propose to me? Is he joking? Is he serious? "Are you joking?"

Usagi looked at Misaki and looked away thinking about what just happened and what he said. He looked back Misaki with such intensity it shook Misaki with such emotion he started to tear up. "Misaki I'm not joking. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you! I want to have a family with you! I love you so much more than anyone can love anyone! You are my soul. You hold my heart. Without you I am no one."

Misaki looked away with tears welling in his eyes. He looked back and started sobbing. "Usagi I love you to! You are my everything! I feel the same exact way you do! Yes, Akihiko I will marry you." Misaki moved in and kissed Usagi gracefully on the lips. Usagi was in utter shock, not only did his love say yes but he called him by his first name. Usagi started to cry as well. He kissed back lovingly. They laid together in bed, they were in pure bliss and happiness. They were engaged and nothing could change that. Soon they would be married and would spend the rest of their lives together.

After a few moments lying in bed both men got up and began their day. Usagi had work to do and Misaki had to go to school. Usagi was in the shower as Misaki was cooking breakfast. In the midst of finishing and cleaning up Usagi showed up out of nowhere and ended up behind Misaki. "Usagi-san?"

"Hmmm… Misaki you smell good. Don't go to school stay home." Usagi placed his arms around Misaki and held him close and nestled his check and lips into his neck, making Misaki shiver.

"I can't Usagi-san I have to go in person to change my classes from in school to online. And I want to get that done today before I get too far into the semester. But I'll be back soon I promise. I just got finished making breakfast so you eat and I'll be back when I'm done. But when I'm done I have to get some groceries for tonight's dinner so it'll take some time until I get home." Misaki turned around and was shocked to see the usually closed up, violet eyes looking back at him so openly and sadly. It broke his heart. "Aki I promise I'll be back soon. Just get some work done." Misaki reached up and touched his face gently. He leaned forward and placed a small kiss on his lips. "I'll be back. I gotta go. I love you." Misaki slowly got out of his lover's embrace, not wanting to leave the safety of the strong muscular arms. Misaki slowly walked to the door and closed it softly behind him.

Usagi stood by the sink took a deep breath and went to sit down at the table. There he ate his meal in complete silence. 3 minutes after Misaki leaves the door opens and Usagi gets up hoping its Misaki walking through the door, but was disappointed to hear a female's voice instead. "Usami-sensei! Where are you?! I gave you your day and a half. Now where is the manuscript!?" Usagi slowly made his way up the stairs and locked himself into his room. There he got dressed and made his way to his office. Once in his office he locked himself away and got to work. But ever so slowly.
