Chapter 1 ~ The Proposal
The waves rolled onto the shore of a small beach. The stars sparkled in the night sky and the moon lit up the area for miles. Near the water, in the soft sand, stood a young woman. She stood there, her dark blue eyes staring at the ocean. Her aquamarine hair blew behind her in the night breeze. The young woman felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist and hold her gently. "Gazing into your ocean, Michiru?" a familiar voice asked. Michiru smiled softly and nodded, turning around to view the woman who had snuck up behind her.
As she turned her eyes met the familiar, loving, emerald green eyes of her love, Haruka. Michiru looked her love over, taking every feature into view. Haruka was a tall woman, with short blond hair that blew in the wind so easily. Haruka wore a pair of tan slacks and a white dress shirt, much like the one worn with her school uniform from her high school years. Michiru finished looking her love over and giggled softly.
Haruka raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What is so funny, my water dancer?" she asked, slipping her arms back around her love's waist, holing Michiru to her. Michiru smiled softly and said, "I just can't understand how everyone thinks your a man." Haruka let out a soft chuckle. She never could understand it herself. In high school everyone thought she was a boy because of her uniform. Though even now, some 2 years later, people still mistook her for a man. Haruka flashed Michiru her playful smirk. "Well I am the "male" of our relationship," she said with a chuckle.
Michiru giggled softly and nodded. "That you most definately are, my wind chaser," she said, in between her giggles. Haruka leaned down and kissed Michiru's forehead gently. Haruka smiled softly at Michiru and felt this was the best time. "Well... Then, as the "male" of this relationship, there is something I must as you," she said, smiling down at Michiru. Michiru blinked a few times, baffled by this, but she smiled softly. "And what must you ask me, my wind chaser?" she asked, teasing.
Haruka released Michiru from her arms and got down on one knee. Michiru blinked many more times, puzzled beyond belief. Haruka smiled at her and spoke softly. "Kaiou Michiru, we have been together for years now. I've loved you ever day since the day we met. I give you my heart and soul. I will always love you. But there is something very important I must ask you. Koiou Michiru, will you marry me?" She then pulled a small box from her pocket and opened it to reveal a beautiful silver banded, diamond ring.
Michiru's eyes widened in disbelief. She had been dreaming of this day for years now. She couldn't believe it was finally coming true. Tears filled her dark blue eyes and rolled down her cheeks. She nodded and accepted, "I would be honored to marry you Haruka." Haruka's eyes lit up and she stood, placing the ring on Michiru's finger and taking her into her arms, planting a deep kiss on Michiru's lips. Michiru returned the kiss, just as deep. Haruka then picked up Michiru, by the waist and spun her around. Michiru giggled the whole time, then was lowered to the ground. Haruka gave her another deep kiss, which Michiru returned, and then picked her up and carried her back to their house, to spend the night in each other's arms.
