Itsumademo (Forever) Chapter 2:

Finally today's the day; Christmas day! I've been working real hard as a part-time violin teacher at Ousaki-senpai's school and the wage is great like he promised, he pays me 1000 yen per session per day, whenever I don't have classes I go whole day (teaching both the morning and afternoon classes) and for that I earn 2000 yen. I finally have enough money to buy Len-kun that "Concord Oblong" since its Christmas there are no classes today and my teaching days are almost over, I asked Ousaki-senpa can work only until the end of the month and he kindly agreed. I'm going to miss the kids sure they're naughty and noisy at times but when it comes to the violin they're really serious.

"Thanks for all your work so far Hino-san. I really appreciate it." Ousaki-senpai said.

"It's no problem Ousaki-senpai, in fact I should be thanking you. If you hadn't offered me the job I wouldn't have enough money to buy a gift for Len-kun."

"Well you're welcome then, are you going to buy the gift now?"

"Yes. Len-kun is still at the hospital, he has a practical exam today. I'll just fetch him at his school later."

"I see, well I better be going now don't want to make my girlfriend wait long. Thanks again Hino-san, you and Len-kun have a Merry Christmas." He said smiling, waving his hand goodbye.

I nod and say, "You too Ousaki-senpai! Send my regards to Mari-san!"

With that he left and we went our separate ways. I called a cab and told him the address of the music store. I'm so excited, I can't wait to give my present to Len-kun, I have a feeling this Christmas will be different from the others. I arrived at the music store; I pay the driver and descend from the cab. I then entered the shop and a prim looking man approached me.

"Good morning ma'am! Welcome to Vibrato Music Shop, May I help you?" the blonde haired man inquired.

"Good morning too, I would like to buy a Concord Oblong violin case." I replied politely.

"Certainly ma'am right this way." He said guiding me to a rack filled with violin cases.

"So cute!" I said pointing at a pink colored case.

"You like that ma'am? It's our feminine style concord oblong violin case."

I replied waving my hands, "No it's not for me, it's for my boyfriend."

"Ah then I recommend our masculine style concord oblong violin case, this one has deluxe wood shell model with backpack straps, suspension padding, nylon cover, hygrometer, huidifier and full length music pocket." He said presenting me a blue violin case.

"This one's perfect I'll take it!"

"Great your boyfriend will surely love that."

We went to the counter, they placed the case in a paper bag and I paid. Suddenly my phone vibrated, I opened my bag, grabbed my phone and opened it. Len-kun sent a message.

"Kaho my shift is over; let's meet at the station ok? I need to get the ring I reserved for mom."

"OK, I'm own my way." I replied.

"OMG! Don't tell me that's Tsukimori Len with you!" the kind clerk told me pointing at my phone.

"Uhh….. Yes?" I said confused with what he said.

"You're so lucky! I'm a huge fan of Tsukimori Len! He's just so great with the violin and his looks are to die for, he's so handsome and he looks hot playing the violin!"

A guy saying another guy's handsome and looks hot? Could it be he's…..?

"You're so brave, to ask Tsukimori Len to take a picture with you because they say he's really snobbish and unsociable."

"Y-Yeah lucky me." I said with a weird laugh.

Suddenly my phone vibrated again, this time Len-kun was calling.

"Hello Len-kun?"

"Kaho where are you? I'm here at the train station."

"I'm sorry Len-kun; I just picked up some stuff. I'll be there in a few minutes."

"Be careful OK?"

"OK you too Len-kun."

The clerk and the cashier both gave me weird and curious stares.

"Tell me sister; what is your relationship with Tsukimori Len? That was him you were talking to right?"

"He's my b-boyfriend." I said blushing.

"WHAT! YOU"RE SO LUCKY!" they both said shocked with what I said.

"I'm not giving up on him! Our love maybe star-crossed but I'll still fight for it." The clerk said raising his arm his hand flinched into a fist.

"I better leave now. Merry Christmas and thank you." I said leaving the shop.

The clerk chased me and said, "Wait ma'am! Could you give this to Tsukimori-san, it's a little gift for him from me."

He handed me a card and warned me not to open it. He then gave me a smile and a stare that says you're-my-rival-sister-watch-out, and then he smiled again and went back to the shop. I then called a cab and instructed him to go to the train station. Upon arriving at said station I saw Len-kun standing by the soda machine with his arms crossed. I rushed to him hoping he's not pissed off or anything.

"Yoh Len-kun" I said raising my hand, smiling at him.

"Finally you're here. Let's go." He said still with his arms crossed.

"Hey are you mad? I'm really sorry; it's just that I got caught up with some weird stuff, forgive me?" I said bowing.

He smiled, held out his hand and said, "I'm not mad, come on let's spend Christmas."

I smiled, grabbed his hand and we boarded the train. I'm really excited, I can't wait to see the look on his face when I give him my gift but I wonder what his gift for me is? He's not holding anything except for his bag, maybe the gifts in there. Finally the train came to a stop and we descended it.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"You'll be surprised." He said smiling.

We started walking; somehow this road is very familiar even the corners, the streets, the houses and suddenly we reached a very nostalgic place, I smiled it's been a long time since I've returned here.

"Why are we here?" I asked looking at him.

"To spend Christmas, it's great to be back. Come on I've got something to show you." Still holding my hand he dragged me inside Seiso Academy High School, its Christmas so there are no students here, but how was he able to gain access?

We climbed up until we reached the rooftop, he closed my eyes with his hands, he opened the door and we entered.

"Voila!" he said taking his hands away from my eyes.

The rooftop looks magical, the plants decorated with Christmas lights, snowflakes enveloped the floor, the chairs covered with nothing but the white stuff and a cute, and round table was at the center. It was covered with a red table-cloth while the chairs were wrapped in white chair covers. Len-kun grabbed his phone, called someone and said, "We're all set, bring it here." Suddenly people entered the rooftop, one placed a candle at the middle of the table, and another one placed a box of what looks like pizza next to the candle, one set 2 cans of soda along with 2 plates; one at each side. Before leaving they gave both me and Len-kun bows.

"Shall we?" Len-kun invited.

I gave nothing but a nod; I'm still dazed with everything. Len-kun pulled my chair for me and once I was comfy he pushed it back, lit the candle and sat at the chair opposite me.

"Merry Christmas Kaho, sorry if it's just pizza and soda. Just imagine this is a five star restaurant."

I smiled, shaked my head and said, "This beats a five-star restaurant anyday."

With that we started eating, talking about things, certain things that happened today, and laughing at some weird happenings at Len-kun's practical exam. Finally we finished eating.

"Merry Christmas Len-kun!" I handed him my gift along with the card the sales rep asked me to give him. He opened the present revealing the concord oblong violin case I could tell he liked it, and then he opened the card and his face suddenly turned sour.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Take a look for yourself." He said giving me the card.

To my surprise that sales rep inserted his picture with a pouty lip and said,

To: Tsukimori Len-sama,

I will follow you to the ends of the earth, I love you!

Love, Mochi-chan *mwah!

Mochi-chan? Somehow I regret showing the card to Len-kun. Len-kun took the card again, folded it and placed it in his back pocket.

"It was here in Seiso Academy that I met you, this is where I got to know you, this is where I indirectly confessed to you and this is where I would like to ask you one important question." He said not looking at me.

He came to my side, kneeled down on one knee, grabbed a small, clear box from his pocket, opened it, revealing the heart-shaped diamond ring and said, "Hino Kahoko I'd like to spend forever with you, will you marry me?"

I cried, shocked and happy with his proposal. The man I'm deeply in love with is right here bending on one knee asking me to marry him.

Still with tears in my eyes and a smile I answered, "Yes! I will spend eternity with you Tsukimori Len!"

He smiled, inserted the ring in my finger and held my hands. We stood up, hugged each other tightly and we kissed, I wasn't expecting this for Christmas but I loved it, a memorable event at our most favorite place in the world.
