AN: The basis of this idea was provided by Fox McCloude. They provided Fuutaro being stuck in an elevator with a quint idea. I decided to pick a quint to go with the idea. The background and what happens is my idea. I thank Fox for the idea.

This had been one of the worst weeks of Fuutaro's life. He had finally gotten the courage to tell Yotsuba how he felt. But when he went to the room she was supposed to be in, she wasn't there. Fuutaro decided to wait to see if she would come back. He waited 3 hours, but she never came.

He had never felt so dejected before. His chest felt so tight this past week. He thought that maybe he had a chance with her. Maybe they could try and see where the relationship went.

When he was waiting for her and had realized she wasn't coming. He and reached an all-new emotional low. Itsuki had come looking for them, not knowing Yotsuba had stood him up. Taking pity on the slightly broken boy, she had informed him that Yotsuba was the one to kiss him at the bell. She also confirmed his suspicions that she was the girl he had met 6 years ago.

Knowing this information had made Fuutaro feel even worse. Why didn't she wait for him? What was worse was that she was now avoiding him. No matter the time or place, if he got within speaking distance of her, she bolted and would leave him there. Every time she did it his chest constricted more and more.

He shook himself from his thoughts as he pressed the buzzer for entry of the quint's apartment complex. He heard the chime of the door unlocking, he walked in and headed for the elevators. He clicked the button and waited. When the doors opened, he was face to face with the girl that has been on his mind for the past week.

Yotsuba stood there in the middle of the Elevator a shocked expression on her face. She was wearing her favorite white hoodie with green trimming with the red 428 on it. She was also wearing a pair of black yoga pants, with green sneakers on her feet.

Fuutaro took in her appearance and it was safe to say while he loved her for her, he also was very attracted to her appearance.

Realizing she was frozen stiff he quickly rushed into the elevator and pushed the button for the quints floor, while rapidly clicking the close door button. She snapped out of her daze right when the doors closed.

"Waaa, Uesugi-san! Why did you close the doors?" She asked in a small panic.

"Because you left me waiting at the Culture Festival and you have been avoiding me ever since." Fuutaro retorted with a bit of venom in his tone.

Yotsuba flinched and had the decency took look ashamed. She turned her headway and aimed it at the floor.

Fuutaro's expression softened, and he let out a sigh. He didn't want to yell at her, he didn't want to hurt her, he just wanted her to talk to him.

That is when the elevator suddenly came to a halt. The force of the elevator stopping caused both to lose their footing. Yotsuba was bout to hit her head on the wall when Fuutaro grabbed her quickly and pulled her into him as they fell.

They both groaned from the fall. Yotsuba though felt extremely comfortable at the moment. She lifted her head and found herself sprawled out on Fuutaro. He had taken the brunt of the fall by protecting her. He wasn't focused on her though, his eyes were closed and he and a grimace on his face from the ache in his body now.

Yotsuba knew she shouldn't keep laying there but she couldn't help herself. She laid her head back down on his chest, to just get a few more moments of being in his arms. For she knows that is something she will never get to again.

When Fuutaro opened his eyes and lifted his head he saw Yotsuba cuddling into him. His eyes widened as his heart began to beat a bit faster. After a week he was finally close to her. He pushed the thoughts from his mind though. The elevator suddenly stopped, and he needed to focus on that for a second.

Fuutaro moved his hands till they rested on Yotsuba's shoulders. She tensed up from his touch and slowly lifted her head to look at him.

"I won't deny that I like this, but we need to figure out what happened," Fuutaro informed her in a gentle tone.

Yotsuba's face lit up with a blush from his words and tone. She quickly got off of him. Fuutaro got to his feet and went to the console of the elevator. He clicked a couple of the buttons and saw that none were lighting up and the elevator made no movement. He glanced at his phone and saw that he had no service. He glanced back to Yotsuba who was currently looking everywhere in the elevator but him. It hurt a bit that she couldn't even look at him. He turned fully to face her, and she stiffened slightly.

Fuutaro sighed out. "Can you get any service on your phone?" He asked slightly hoping the answer was no because now she couldn't run away from him.

She finally looked at him with wide eyes. Then an embarrassed smile appeared on her face.

"I may have forgotten it." She admitted with an embarrassed chuckle.

Fuutaro sighed out again. "Well, it looks like we are stuck here until someone notices the Elevator isn't working."

"Yeah…."

They stood there awkwardly for a minute. Fuutaro was studying her slightly, while Yotsuba was looking away from him again. Unbeknownst to him, the way he was staring at her was a slight turn-on.

Fuutaro leaned against the wall next to the buttons and continued to look at her with a neutral expression on his face.

Again, Yotsuba made sure her eyes were looking at everything but him.

Finally, Fuutaro couldn't keep his mouth shut. "Why have you been avoiding me?" He asked as he watched her like a hawk.

At the sound of his question, Yotsuba stiffened. "W-what do you mean Uesugi-san I haven't been avoiding you," Yotsuba said while looking everywhere but him.

Fuutaro could only stare at her and remember how much of a horrible liar she was. "Did I do something to offend you? Did I hurt you in some way?" Fuutaro asked with a small amount of desperation bleeding into his tone.

That made Yotsuba whip her head and stare at him wide-eyed. "N-no! You didn't do anything like that Uesugi-san!" Before she could say more she was cut off.

"Then why do you run away from me?!" Fuutaro yelled out making Yotsuba jump slightly from the shout. "Why can't you look at me? Why can't you be around me? Yotsuba I went to your room that night. You weren't there, so I decided to wait for you. I waited for 3 hours but you never came." Fuutaro was now sporting a look of anguish on his face. Yotsuba's heart broke slightly from seeing the expression. "I know you are the girl from the Kyoto trip all those years ago."

Yotsuba gained a look of slight horror on her face before she could say anything Fuutaro continued. "I also know you are the one that kissed me at the bell." Now Yotsuba had a look of full-blown panic.

"How do you know those things?" She asked.

"Itsuki told me. She told me when she found me waiting in the nurse's office with a broken heart. When she told me it made me feel even worse."

"Why would you feel worse?" She asked gently.

"Because the girl I loved for so long didn't want to be with me. She rejected me and that hurts Yotsuba. It hurts so much."

Fuutaro looked up and started walking towards her. "Yotsuba I chose you; I choose you." Fuutaro took steps forward till he was holding her shoulders looking her directly in the eyes. "I love you." He said quietly but trying to convey how much he meant it.

Tears started to fall from Yotsuba's eyes as she looked at him. She pulled away though. "No, you can't love me Uesugi-san."

"And why the hell not?" He asked anger bubbling up.

"Because I don't deserve your love!" Yotsuba screamed out, causing Fuutaro to freeze and stare at her wide-eyed. "I don't deserve your love and affection Uesugi-san. I didn't keep our promise, I am the reason we had to transfer schools. I was selfish and I caused problems for all my sisters. I can't forgive myself for that. So, no Uesugi-san I don't deserve your love, you should be with one of my sisters you deserve your love. Please Uesugi-san just let me go." The tears were truly falling now. And Yotsuba began to sob.

Fuutaro felt something bubbling up with him the desire to protect. He moved forward and brought the sobbing girl into an embrace. Yotsuba stiffened at the contact. Before she could try to escape Fuutaro tightened his hold and began to speak.

"Yotsuba, you are the most selfless person I know. Your guilt is so misplaced it is on the wrong continent. Have you ever asked your sisters if they cared they had to change schools? No, because you felt you did something unforgivable. I can guarantee they don't care. I can promise they never felt that way about changing schools. And about our promise. I don't care you didn't because top you're your class. I am actually glad you failed and had to transfer. Do you want to know why?"

Yotsuba could only nod into his chest. It is because if you didn't fail and didn't transfer schools, I would never have met you again. I wouldn't even know where to look for you. I would probably have never seen you again and you would only be a cherished memory. But you are here in my arms and Yotsuba Nakano I love you, I love you with all my heart. Wish to never be away from you again. Please accept my love. And I will spend every day making sure you know you can be selfish."

Yotsuba was frozen stiff from those words. The person she loved with all her heart, was confessing and choosing her. He accepted everything about her and even brushed away all her failings. He loved her for her. He wanted to be with her. Her arms slowly rose and wrapped around him as well. She buried herself into him. Fuutaro could only smile softly as he felt her.

She slowly pulled away and looked up at him.

"Even if I am an idiot, will you still love me?"

Fuutaro smiled soft, "I will."

"Even if I can't cook like Nino, not as pretty as Ichika, not as determined as Miku, or not as mature as Itsuki?"

"I will always love you."

Fuutaro leaned down closing the distance between their faces. Yotsuba's heart pounded as he got closer and closer. Soon Fuutaro captured her lips with his, giving her a gentle loving kiss. Yotsuba's heart was ready to burst with happiness. She was kissing Fuutaro, he was choosing her. Even with all her faults, he was choosing her.

When the kiss broke, she reached up and cupped both sides of his face. "I love you Fuutaro Uesugi. I love you with all my heart and soul." She said lovingly as she pulled him back down for another kiss.

Moments later they are on the floor leaning against the wall opposite of the door. Holding hands as Yotsuba rested her head against his shoulder a content smile on her face.

They kept sneaking glances at each other. Every time their eyes met; they would give each other loving kisses.

Soon a stray thought entered Fuutaro's mind.

"Yotsuba?"

"Yes, Fuutaro-kun?"

"You never told me."

This made Yotsuba look up at him. "Never told you what?"

"You never told me what you wanted to do after graduation."

Yotsuba's eyes widened at his words. Soon a blush started creeping across her face. "Do you really need to know that?" She asked.

"I would like to so I can help you prepare for whatever you want to do."

She was now covering her face with her hands. Fuutaro looking at her in confusion.

"Yotsuba?"

"I w… a B…."

"A what?"

"I want to be a bride," Yotsuba mumbled out.

Fuutaro's eyes blew wide open. A bride, she wants to be a bride. Fuutaro then began picturing Yotsuba in a white dress. She looked stunning.

He turned back to her and grabbed her hands from her face. She still wouldn't look at him though. He then leaned in and kissed her. Causing her to look at him as he leaned back.

"That is a fine plan for after high school. I can help with that if you want?"

"Fuutaro-kun, are you asking what I think you are?"

"Yotsuba Nakano, will you marry me?"

Yotsuba could only stare at him for a moment in complete shock. She then shot forward, causing Fuutaro to fall to his back. The second he was flat on his back, Yotsuba began to kiss him both possessively and aggressively. She was trying to put all her feelings into this kiss. The second the broke she gave him the most loving smile she could.

"I would love to be your bride Fuutaro-kun."

Before another word could be said the elevator dinged. Both looked over to see the doors open and a could see the front lobby. Many people standing there looking at the newly made couple. Both Fuutaro and Yotsuba gained massive blushes on their faces.

Fuutaro and Yotsuba quickly got to their feet and walked out of the elevator and started heading for the doors. As they were walking out many men were giving Fuutaro thumbs up and grins. While the women were giving Yotsuba smiles with knowing looks.

Once they were outside, they looked at each other and gained smiles.

"Hey, want to head to the swings?" Fuutaro asked as their hands intertwined.

"That would be perfect."

With that, they took their first steps into their future.
