Hiroki stared at the man before him. He dropped his bag and ran a hand through his hair. He placed a hand on his hips and one in his chin. Was this a trick question?
"Will you marry me?"
Those words ran through his head and he tried to processes it as fast as he can. Nowaki bit his lip, waiting for an answer. Nowaki was worried, he had thought about this ever since the accident where Hiroki mentioned his past with Akihiko. The reasons why he wanted to marry Hiroki was because he wanted Hiroki to be his forever and make sure that no one will ever take Hiroki away from him.
Hiroki sighed and smiled gently. He won't give an answer yet, but he knew that the answer will be yes. He just needed some time to think.
"Nowaki, get up." Hiroki said as he took Nowaki's wrist without the box containing the ring and lifted him up. Nowaki looked at Hiroki disappointed. Why didn't he say yes? Nowaki frowned as he watch Hiroki sit on the bed. He clutched the velvet box and felt tears threaten to slip.
"Nowaki, don't cry…." Hiroki said as he pulled Nowaki on the bed. He took the box and placed it on the nightstand. He climbed on top of Nowaki and kissed him. However, Nowaki didn't respond to the kiss, he just sat there, frozen. Hiroki sighed and hit Nowaki gently on the head.
Nowaki winced and he was about to protest when Hiroki kissed him again. He felt the tears spill. Why won't Hiroki say yes? Was Hiroki bored of Nowaki already? Nowaki sniffed and wiped his tears away. He covered his face with his hands, not wanting Hiroki to see him cry.
However, Hiroki shook Nowaki's hands away and kissed his tears away. He licked his lips and hugged Nowaki tightly. Hiroki knew that Nowaki was hurt at him not saying yes right away. But the big oaf needed to understand that Hiroki had reason too.
"The reason I didn't say yes was because I need my parents permission first." Hiroki said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. However, to Nowaki, who never had anyone to call mother or father, it wasn't.
"S-so, are you going to m-marry me when they say yes?" Nowaki sniffed. Hiroki's heart ached at the sight of Nowaki crying. The problem was not his parents. In fact, Hiroki's father and mother already know that he was gay.
"If, Nowaki, if." Hiroki said. Nowaki once again started to have tears well up in his eyes.
"If they don't agree, then we'll just run away to a far country." Hiroki said. Hiroki snickered lightly and he felt that he should tease Nowaki a little bit more. Nowaki smiled and nodded.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"My, Hiroki-chan! You found yourself a nice one!" Hiroki's mother giggled. Hiroki rolled his eyes and looked at his father. He smiled at his son and sighed.
"Ah, Nowaki go talk with my mother for now, I have things to discuss with my father." Hiroki said as he pushed them out of the room. Now that he was alone with his father, he sat down and sighed.
"What do you think?" Hiroki said as he held his teacup filled with oolong tea in his hands. His father looked at him and Hiroki took in his features. Anyone would be able to tell that they were father and son. They looked exactly alike. Same cinnamon hair and the same chocolate eyes.
"He's wonderful, but, what about Megumi?" The older Kamijou said. Hiroki suddenly remembered. Megumi, was his half cousin and the girl who was 1 year younger then him, was utterly obsessed with him. When they were young, she would often cling to him and made him promise that he would marry her. Now that he was at the age of marrying, she would probably hunt him down and force him.
"Ah, Megumi….-" Just as Hiroki began his sentence, the sliding door came crashing down. Hiroki gulped nervously as he saw the young woman in front of him. Megumi Kamijou…..
"Nii-chan!" Megumi yelled as she threw herself at Hiroki and kissed him on the cheek. Ms. Kamijou and Mr. Kamijou laughed nervously and left the room.
Now, all that's left in the room was Nowaki, Hiroki and Megumi. Megumi still sat on Hiroki's lap, her black waist length hair in a long ponytail and her brown eyes staring at Hiroki.
"Nii-chan, you should've told me you were coming to visit, I would've gotten my dress ready." Megumi said as he wrapped her arms even tighter around Hiroki. Nowaki winced as he watched Hiroki being hugged by a stranger. And a girl at that. He walked over and lifted the girl up from Hiroki.
She turned around and glared at Nowaki. Hiroki got up and went behind Nowaki. Megumi widen her eyes.
"Who's this?" She asked. Hiroki gulped. She was going to hunt him down.
"My boyfriend and we are getting married, I already told you I was gay 2 years ago." Hiroki said. Megumi laughed and wiped her tears.
"Nii-chan, you're so silly, you're just confused and you're not gay." Megumi said as she tried to go around Nowaki, but her way was blocked.
"Move!" She yelled as she tried to go around Nowaki again.
"No! Hiroki is mine, we are going to get married!" Nowaki stated confidently, he took out the ring from his pocket and put it on Hiroki's hand and pulled him into a kiss. He made sure that Megumi could see every moment of this. He slipped his tongue in and made sure to show it. When they pulled away, a string of saliva connected them. Hiroki blushed and stared at the ring in his hand. The diamond was beautiful.
"Y-you! How dare you touch Hiroki nii-chan before I do!" Megumi shrieked. Nowaki smiled and pulled down Hiroki's collar, showing off a bunch of hickeys made from previous love-makings.
Megumi stared at the marks and covered her mouth with her hand. Hiroki bit his lip and he pulled his collar up. Megumi looked at him and regained her posture.
"I will make sure you marry me in the end!" She said before rushing out of the room.
"Your such a big jealousy oaf." Hiroki murmured, however, he was too happy at the moment.
"Oh, Hiro-san, we're getting married!" He said happily.
"Yes, yes." Hiroki said as he pulled Nowaki into another kiss. Ms. Kamijou stood outside the door fangirling and was covering his wife's mouth in order for her to not scream out in happiness. Mr. Kamijou smiled, he could now rest knowing his only son was now committed to someone.
