Christmas is almost near, do you guys have any plan yet? ^^

This story might have a few chapters left... but I'm still considering if I should make it longer. What do you guys think? :)

DISCLAIMER: the only thing I own is the plot.

If you guys got confused with the story, you can leave me a message or comment *HUGS*

Soujirou couldn't believe that he experienced yet another heart break and this time, it's his entire fault.

Feeling sorry for himself, he didn't notice the falling of rain droplets.

'Yuki, I'm sorry. I really am… If only I could turn back the time, I promise I'll treat you better instead of running away from you. I let go of the only girl who made me happy and accepted me for who I am..' as he was staring at the dango shop from outside his car he noticed a guy was patiently waiting outside the shop.

On the other hand, Yuki was debating whether she should close early or not since there's no customer and that the rain is pouring really badly.

She decided on letting the rain subside when someone knocked on the shop's window

"Rei! What are you doing here? Come inside!" signaled Yuki as she hurriedly open the door to let her friend in.

"I thought you were going to make me stay out in the cold" chortled Rei as he dried off his hair with the towl Yuki handed him

"What brings you here? Aren't you supposed to be meeting your fiancée?" Rei was taken aback by Yuki's bluntness which he found 'attractive' and 'unusual' at the same time.

"Since when did you become this blunt?" said Rei as he placed his pointy finger on Yuki's nose, which made the girl blush in embarrassment

"I was just concerned, I heard you guys were having a hard time… need someone to talk to?" offered Yuki as she flashed him a genuine smile which moved Rei deeply.

"To be honest, Yu-chan… she's missing" sighed Rei as he plopped on the seat near the entrance

"What? Since when? Have you looked for her? Is she alright?" Yuki bombarded Rei with questions which made him chuckle inside 'Even after all this years, she's still the same caring Yuki. My first love.' He just smiled at the thought while making Yuki stare in wonder

"Hey, what are you smiling about? Are you happy that you're soon to be wife is missing?" she lightly slapped Rei on the to make him come back to his senses thinking that he must've forgotten that it was his 'fiancée' that was missing

"I was smiling because I can't believe you still haven't changed' he said sincerely which caught Yuki off guard. Rei took this as an opportunity to hug Yuki which made her stiff at the sudden contact.

"I'm sorry I left you back then. There was nothing could do… "

FLASHBACK

Yuki was waiting at the park's swing for someone. She continuously flipped her phone to check if she had received any text message.

"I guess he's not coming…" she uttered as she clutched the box tightly. Just as she was about to leave, Rei ran towards her

"I'm sorry I'm late. Did you wait long?" asked Rei in between breaths which made Yuki giggle ate her friend's cuteness.

"I'm fine. It looks like you just ran a marathon, why don't we sit first?" offered Yuki as they sat back down at the swing.

It was quiet. None of them decided to speak as they rock back and forth the swing. Until Rei decided that it was time to let Yuki know the truth

"Yu-chan, I'll be straight to the point. I-I'm getting engaged." He said in a firm voice as he faced Yuki

Yuki was shocked to hear that, which made her accidentally drop the box she was holding.

Rei noticed the box so he decided to reach for it. "Don't!" yelled Yuki but the box was already in Rei's hands.

"Are you… giving this to me?" he asked with a smirk which made Yuki blush as she shyly nodded her head. Yuki was shocked when Rei gave her a kiss on the cheeks which made her eyes go round.

"Thanks for this wonderful present Yu-chan" he said happily as he cherished the bracelet that was inside the box

Yuki was debating whether she should tell her feelings for the boy but, he was about to be engaged. She was debating with herself when she didn't notice Rei's hands were sneakily making their way towards her small hands.

"Yuki, if I say I like you, will you agree to be my girlfriend?" he was now caressing Yuki's hands with care

"B-but Rei-kun… you're getting engaged soon? How is that possible?" asked Yuki who was trying to stop tears from falling because of his confession

"I promised myself that if I ever have my first girlfriend, I wanted her to be the girl whom I personally proposed to" he then looked at her with a smile, "I'll ask again, Yuki.. would you like to be my girlfriend?"

Yuki shyly nodded as she tried to pull her hands away from Rei's grip.

"YEAY! SHE SAID YES!" Rei was jumping up and down as if he had won the lottery, while Yuki was giggling at his 'boyfriend' .

After their meeting, Rei was now walking Yuki back home.

"Yu-chan, though I'm getting engaged… I still want our relationship to last. Maybe, I can break off the engagement…" he said hopefully but was slapped by Yuki on the arm

"Don't! You're dad would get angry… I don't want to see you getting hit because of me" this touched Rei's heart as he tried to control himself from hugging the girl

"I-I like you too, Rei-kun but, if time comes that you're engagement would happen.. . I want to break up" she said quietly which shocked Rei "Why? I thought you said you liked me? Why are you giving me away" he got hurt at her words

"I do like you but, if time comes that your family does make it big… it'll be embarrassing to have one of the top heirs in the country dating a commoner" this made Rei chuckle. This was the reason why he loved Yuki so much, she was too giving. She would rather experience hardship rather than let the people she loved be in pain.

"Let's make a deal… if my dad finally chooses a girl for me, let's break up" said Rei seriously which made Yuki nod with a frown on her face

"Don't be sad… if I do get a fiancée I'm going to make sure that whenever we get to talk about our past relationships, I would proudly brag that I had the best girlfriend in the world. She was my first girlfriend, my childhood friend, and my best friend" then he gave Yuki a quick kiss before running off

"REI! You sneaky fox! You're still lame as ever… I'll get you for that" yelled Yuki as she ran after Rei.

Then the sad day came. Yuki was in school when she received a note and with it was the bracelet she gave Rei. Knowing the reason why he returned the girt, Yuki clutched the bracelet tightly as tears fall from her face.

END OF FLASHBACK

Yuki just smiled as she patted Rei on the shoulder

'"It's alright, Rei-kun. I know that day was bound to come. I'm just happy that I got to see you again after all this years" she said with a smile as she held out her hand but, instead Rei planted a kiss on her lips which left her rooted to the spot.

"I'm sorry for leaving you. I'm also glad that we're okay despite not seeing each other for years. I'm glad to have my childhood friend and best friend back" Rei gave Yuki a hug to which she also returned.

Meanwhile, Soujirou was now soaking wet as he witnessed everything that happened inside the shop. He was now convinced that Yuki did indeed found someone who would cherish her.

With a weary heart he went inside his car and drove off.

'I'm glad you've found your happiness Yuki, I just wished that it was me… '

Yuki decided to separated first "So this means we're cool?" she held out her hand

Rei nodded in reply as he reached out for her hand.

"I can sense that you really love your fiancée though, I'll help you in looking for her" Yuki was glad that Rei showed up. If it weren't for him, she would've been crying until now.

Rei is sneaky but, that's his charm :)

Makino wasn't aware of Yuki and Rei's relationship in the past since they never got to tell her. Their relationship didn't last long since Rei had to fly over to London to help his dad.
