theme #25- penny pincher
Sakuma Sonnet- I know. The fluff kills. But I want to get all the ones I have so far...so yeah. On with the fluff!
They sat on a bench, looking out at the water. Suguru's head was leaning on Hiro's shoulder, and he was smiling gently, eyes soft. Hiro had his head leaning against Suguru's, eyes not focused on the water, but down, focused on Suguru.
It was White Day (they didn't really celebrate Valentine's Day because it was when the girls would give gifts and neither wanted to admit they were the more effeminate one). Suguru had already given his gift to Hiro. It was a golden locket and inside was a picture of him and Hiro kissing which was taken by Shuichi. It was already around the guitarist's neck.
All in all, they were happy and it was pretty much peaceful…until the girl on the next bench- who was with her boyfriend- started screaming.
"This is plastic, you cheapskate!" She threw the ring she held at his head. "I can't believe you! I mean seriously! I never want to see you again!"
She stalked off, her boyfriend following her, yelling, "Kagura! Wait! It's not plastic!"
Suguru and Hiro stared at the retreating couple, silent, until Suguru started snickering. Hiro looked down and raised an eyebrow. "What?" Suguru asked. "It's common knowledge that you don't get a girl something cheap on White Day unless it's something really good and she really loves you."
Hiro nodded as best as he could. Then he slowly got up and then got down on bended knee in front of Suguru. Suguru looked confused, a pink tint flooding his cheeks.
Hiro smiled as he pulled out a small velvet case and opened it up, presenting the gift to his boyfriend. Inside was a silver ring, two gems on top- one emerald, one ruby. Suguru stared.
Nothing was said for a moment. Then Hiro started talking in a nervous babble, "You said your favorite gems were emeralds and rubies, so I really thought you would like this. Plus, you said you preferred silver over gold so I thought you would really really like this and," he paused, ran a hand through his hair nervously, and looked Suguru in the eyes, "will you be mine?"
Suguru blinked several times before jumping off of the bench and hugging Hiro. "Of course I will!" he replied, a laugh creeping into his voice.
Hiro blushed slightly, feeling self-conscious. He then pulled the ring out of the case and slipped it onto Suguru's right ring finger. It kind of looked like a wedding band…Hiro's blush became a shade darker at the thought.
