Usagi sat in the living room of Mamoru's apartment. She slowly looked
around the dark apartment. She knew it so well, every nook and cranny,
every dent, and every squeak. She loved it here, it was a beautiful place.
It was furnished with the finest black leather couch and loveseat Usagi
had ever seen, Mamo-chan, she thought to herself, had excellent taste. It
wasn't just the furniture. The whole apartment was decorated with rich
paintings and vases full of beautifully colored roses; the outside petals
were scarlet and the inside petals were darker then the blackest night she
had ever seen.
Usagi noticed that Mamoru wasn't acting like his normal self tonight. His mind seemed very preoccupied about other things. She wondered excitingly if maybe tonight was the night that he would ask her to marry him. It was the very thing that she dreamed of since they had started to date. They had had their problems over the years, like most relationship do, they had even broken up for sometime, which had caused them both great pain. In the end though, they were here together, at his apartment, sitting in the light of many candles that Mamoru had lit. Mamoru walked into the room and stared at her with loving eyes. She smiled at him and held out her hand. He took it gently and instead of sitting beside her on the couch, he raised her on her feet. Usagi watched as he picked up a remote and suddenly soft music filled the air. He brought her close to him, and kissed her soft hand. She smiled at him, he always knew exactly what to do to bring start a fire within her heart. He placed his hand on her back and they started to sway to the music. Her arms were around his neck, messaging his muscles. She loved the way he felt, and would love it more if he hadn't had any shirt between her hands but that was another matter. The scent of his cologne made her yearn to be with him like this forever. This was their dance, and this was their song and this night was perfect. "Mamo-chan, this is so perfect. This whole night was been unforgettable." She rested her head on his shoulder as they continued to sway gently to the music.
"Any night with you Usako is perfect. I'm just glad that I was able to give you this birthday gift." He said as he placed a kiss on the top of her head. The music stopped and Mamoru held her at arms length. He looked her straight in the eyes and she watched as he got down on one knee.
Usagi stared at him wide-eyed. This was it; this was what she had been waiting for since he had first asked her out. She watched as he pulled out a tiny black box and opened it to reveal a sparkling diamond rings inside.
"Usagi Tuskino, since the first time I caught your shoe walking home from school I knew that I would never love anyone as much as you. I can share things with you that even Motoki doesn't know. I know that you will stand by me and love me with all your heart, and I only hope that this ring will be able to start shedding light on how much you mean to me. I want to spend the rest of my life making you the happiest women in the world. I want to be the father of your children* and the keeper of your heart." He paused for a moment and looked into her eyes. "Usako, will you marry me?" he asked. She saw that he had tears threatening to spill onto his face, and in his beautiful eyes she saw only love. She knelt down in front of him and took the ring out of the box. She put it on her finger and looked at it for a moment. She looked up at him with tears falling down her cheeks.
"Mamoru Chiba, I love you and I will marry you and be your wife." He smiled and pulled her into his arms his own tears of happiness now spilling down his face. Their hug lasted only a minute and he took her chin in his hand and brought her lips to his lips. It was the most magical moment she had even experienced. It was their kiss, something that no one else could ever take away from them and she melted every time they shared it. This was bliss. This was what she had always dreamed it would be like. Usagi was finally going to marry her soul mate.
