Author Notes: There aren't going to be many more chapters after this since it doesn't actually have a plot, just some sappy goeyness. But maybe if you keep review I'll write another chapter or two. It's up to you guys.
Chapter 5
Katsuragi Misato paced silently around the living room of her house.
She was nervous.
Anyone could see that.
Her best-friend/ NERV co-worker, Akagi Ritsuko had told her that Kaji Ryouji had a very important present to give her this year for Christmas and, well, today was Christmas eve, the day Misato and her house mates had all decided that they'd exchange gifts. Though tomorrow morning there would be presents from Santa under the tree that Asuka and Shinji had bought and decorated a few nights ago, they all thought it would be easier and less hectic if they gave each other the gifts they'd bought tonight.
Ikari Shinji and Souryu Asuka Langley were in the kitchen, supposedly making dinner. She'd been waiting for Kaji for a whole five minutes and it felt like forever.
Though Ritsuko didn't say exactly what he was getting her, she was given enough clues and hints for her to be able to tell.
And Misato knew exactly what her answer would be.
"You're going to burn a hole in the floor if you continue that." A voice said from the doorway, causing her to spin around on her heels. Unfortunately, she spun so fast that the next thing she knew she was on the floor, pain coursing to her butt.
"You okay?" Kaji asked, his hand extended to her, trying vehemently not to laugh.
She winced slightly, rubbing her behind with her left hand while taking his with her right. He pulled her up from the floor and grinned before pulling her into his arms, catching her by surprise.
"Are you okay? You seem worked-up about something." He asked, his breath brushing her ear.
She took a deep breath to try and calm her nerves, half from having him so close and the other half from her previous thoughts. "Yeah, I'm fine." She said, pressing her forehead against his shoulder, sighing happily.
"Hey guys! Dinner's ready!" Asuka yelled from the kitchen.
Misato pulled out of his embrace then smiled up at him, pulling him towards the eating room (A/N: also known as dinning room.).
"Merry Christmas, Kaji!" Misato exclaimed cheerfully, handing the spy a gift wrapped in Christmassy wrapping.
He smiled at her, taking it in his hands. "Thank you very much, Misato." He took the bow off the top and began unwrapping his present. When he was finished, his smiled grew and he held up a red dress shirt and a green tie with a small print of holly on it.
"Wow! Kaji! Go try it on, it'll look great on you!" Asuka told him, smiling. She looked over at Shinji who was still looking quite apprehensive at the self-defense lessons coupon he'd received from Kaji and her smile softened.
Misato smiled too and pushed him off the floor and towards her bedroom. "Yeah, Kaji. Go try it on." She smirked at him.
"Going." He walked over to her room and entered.
Asuka and Misato gave each other their gifts while he got changed, Shinji still staring at his gift certificate. A minute later, Kaji returned, clad in his new attire.
Misato's eyebrows lifted slightly, amazed at how well it fit him while Asuka grinned at Misato's reaction.
"Wow..." Misato whispered, only heard by Kaji who now sat next to her again.
He smirked at her, happy she liked how it looked on him. 'Note-to-self: wear this more often.' "Thank you again. It's very comfortable." He spoke, winding an arm around her waist.
She shook her head, leaving dreamworld. "So...where's my present?" she smiled, joking.
Kaji smile back and looked over to Asuka and Shinji, who nodded in return and got up off the floor and exited the room, leaving him alone with Misato. He turned to Misato and was surprised to see her looking just as anxious/nervous as he. He was sorely tempted to back out of it now but he knew it was too late. Besides, Asuka was no-doubt listening in on him and she'd kick his ass if he didn't go through with it.
From his pocket, Kaji took out a red, heart-shaped bow, handing it to her. He turned to her and closed her hands around the box, holding them with his hands.
"We've spent several Christmases together, this one adding to it. But this year, I want to give you something else." He paused, gulping nervously. "I'm...giving you my heart."
She just watched him for a minute, confused at what he was saying, then realization hit her. He was confessing his lover for her. Even though they'd already said 'I love you' and made lover- for the last few nights- he wanted to make sure she knew he wasn't kidding. He moved in front of her and stared into her eyes, seeing the tears already forming. He took the heart box back and opened it, revealing a beautiful ring, two medium- sized diamonds around a large, purple colored diamond.
"Will you marry me?" he finally spoke the words she so wanted to hear. But it was strange. She'd expected those words from his for ten years but it was still a shock to hear them from him finally, for once.
He stared at her, waiting for her answer, preferably a good answer.
She saw the hope in his eyes and cracked a smile. Nodding, because she didn't trust her voice, her smile widened with each passing second.
He still stared at her, his eyes never registering her nod.
She giggled softly. "That's a yes, Kaji."
He blinked, this time hearing her answer, and smiled widely. He picked her up, or at least as much as he could from the floor, and hugged her close.
Misato closed her eyes, trying to keep herself from exclaiming to the world. 'I'm finally Kaji's fiancée!'
Byakko: One more chapter down.
Ecchi-chan: many more to go! Yay I like that present!
Byakko: Who's present?
Misato's! Why won't Shade ask me to marry her?!
Byakko: -.-' Because no one wants you! Duh!
Ecchi-chan: Not nice. She wuvs me!
Byakko: she never said it, did she?
Ecchi-chan: I'll ask her!
Byakko: Go ahead, make my day!
Ecchi-chan: I will! She does like me I think.
Byakko: Well, we can't talk anymore. Partially because Ecchi-chan is obsessed with my white tape, but mostly because the bell's gonna ring soon.
R&R PLZ!
