It had been a whole month since the meeting with Yuki at his house. Even though it saddened Shuichi to say that he'd never see that man again, he never regret his decision. He'd miss him dearly, but the pinkette knew there was something else out there in the world. Being depressed forever will never get you anywhere.
So, the next day after work, Shuichi talked with Kristen. They talked for hours on end, becoming better friends than they were before. It was about time that Shuichi finally had a stable relationship in his life, friend or not. Their friendship only made their scenes together all the more fun and hilarious. They probably had millions of bloopers by now.
During lunch, him, Kristen, and Brad would eat together. That's how it was all week. All three of them hanging out and just talking, laughing. God, how Shuichi missed it. There was nothing hectic about this! He loved it!
"So, I've got a question."
Shuichi looked up at Kristen as they walked back to the set to watch Brad do his scenes. He tilted his head, "Yeah?"
"That Yuki guy left you alone, right?" He looked down at the pinkette.
"Yeah. For now at least. Why?"
Kristen looked forward, staying silent. Was he thinking? What question could be so hard to as that he had to think it through first? Unless...
Shuichi's heart began to pound slightly in his chest as he looked the man beside him over. A nervousness started to grow in the bottom of his stomach. If he was about to ask what Shuichi thought he was going to ask, he'd die! And if he didn't ask it fast, he'd pass out!
"Well, you and me have a lot in common. I was just thinking that maybe we could try dating?" Finally blue met violet.
So, he was thinking what Shuichi was thinking all along! Shuichi had no clue that he had made Kristen feel for him in this way, but Shuichi did know that he felt that way towards him for a while now!
"Are you sure that's what you want, Kristen?" he was not about to get caught up in another half-assed relationship!
"Yeah! I'm sure about this one!" He smiled.
God, his smile...
"Alright then. But, we better hurry before we're late for our scenes. You know how Brad is about his."
The taller of the two sighed, "Yeah, yeah. I know."
It's been a year. Shuichi and Yuki were...friends? I guess you could say. Well, as great a friends as Yuki would allow. Yuki had patched up his relationship with Ryo and Ryo gladly took him back. Shuichi, even though his hate towards the little ball of energy never ceased, he was nicer to him now. Why hate him if you've got a brilliant relationship now? So, Shuichi called Ryo his frienemy as well.
Kristen worked a lot. Mainly because he was a new actor. So him and Shuichi didn't spend a whole lot of time together, but Shuichi loved him no matter what. They'd been together for the full year. Of course they had their normal couple fights, but their make-up was out of this world! They had talked about a lot during their relationship. Marriage, working together, their public standing in acting. The most important though was children. They both agreed they wanted one. Hell, two if they could get away with it! And those talks is what made Shuichi fall more in love with him than he had before.
It was winter now. Christmas was just around the corner. Snow was coming down heavily, blanketing the ground in pure white. Shuichi had been sitting on the couch staring out the window for hours, watching the snow fall. The sun was glistening just right and it made almost everything illuminate. Nature was truly beautiful sometimes.
Soon enough, Kristen sat down beside him, staring out the same window. They sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes before the taller grabbed his hand, bringing Shuichi's attention away from the window. The pinkette gave his boyfriend a quizzical look before asking, "What?"
"I was thinking here lately."
Yeah?
"That maybe we should take everything to the next level."
Yeah?
"Would you marry me, Shuichi?"
From his pocket, Kristen pulled out a small velvet baby blue box. Shuichi's eyes widened slightly as he opened it, revealing a very sparkly diamond ring with a gold band. Shuichi looked up at Kristen, staring deeply into his blue eyes as his violet ones filled with tears.
"You had me from the beginning, Kris."
Alright, it's complete! Thanks to everyone who has read thus far. I hope you enjoyed even though the ending is slightly bittersweet and probably not what a lot of people would hope for. Reviews are greatly loved!
Love, ShuChan
