Chapter Two: White Day
"Alright, honey! We're here!"
Makoto stood atop a hill in Yoyogi Park, a pale brown picnic basket in his hand, surrounded by green grass as far as they eye could see. Standing in a pair of jeans, sneakers, lavender T-shirt, and his signature hoodie, Makoto turned around to see Kyoko walking to catch up to him, her dark green skirt flowing in the breeze as her white blouse threatened to jump out of where it had been tucked in.
"So you're satisfied with the spot you've chosen?"
Seeing her husband nod, Kyoko laid the blue picnic blanket she had been carrying under her arm next to Makoto's feet. Once it had been all smoothed out, Kyoko and Makoto sat down across from each other, the picnic basket sitting to the side of them. Kyoko reached into the picnic basket, aiming to get a sandwich out to eat, only for her hand to come into contact with some kind of crinkly texture.
"What…" Seeing Makoto smile, she became curious, thinking What did you do, Makoto? before securing her grip around the crinkly object and pulling it out.
She was astonished to find a rectangular object decorated in green wrapping paper. Turning it in her hands to further inspect the mysterious package, she spotted a yellow sticky note with her husband's handwriting and signature. Yanking it off, she began to read.
"Dear Kyoko Naegi,
Thank you so much for being there for me and agreeing to marry me! These past months have been a dream come true and I hope you can forgive me for pushing you away before. I hope that this small token of my affection will be a meaningful present to you. Happy White Day!
Love,
Makoto Naegi"
Her lavender eyes shimmering with tears, she leaned over to embrace her husband, who awkwardly returned her hug as she uttered "I…I love you too, Makoto."
Releasing her from their hug, Makoto wiped her eyes with his thumbs before looking down to the present still in her hands as he urged "Well? Aren't you going to open it?"
Nodding, Kyoko gingerly unraveled the wrapping, savoring every moment of opening her first White Day present from her husband. At last, after a minute of suspense, she exposed a black novel with the words "Sherlock Holmes' Greatest Mysteries" in big, white font.
"Makoto…this is…"
Smiling, Makoto replied "I know it's not Ellery Queen, but everyone knows Sherlock Holmes. And I thought…maybe at bedtime, we could try reading the mysteries and trying to find the clues and solve them together. What do you think?"
Grinning from ear to ear, Kyoko accepted "I think that sounds wonderful. Thank you, Makoto. I can't think of a better present from you." Well, maybe there is one other, but it's not for today…
Returning her grin, Makoto clapped his hands together and exclaimed "Alright, let's eat. Don't want to let all this good picnic food go to waste!"
Nodding, Kyoko put the book down next to her before reaching with her husband into the basket, picking out a sandwich and an apple before munching on their lunch, enjoying the natural wonder of their picnic date.

Kyoko was currently snuggled against her husband, who was nuzzling his face against her breast, on the verge of sleep. Kyoko had to resist the temptation to unzip the front of his pajamas and stick her hand into his underpants.
A couple more months, Kyoko. Just a couple more months, and you can give him the present you've been saving for him.
Sexually frustrated, she took a couple of deep breaths and settled down with her husband, the two of them lulling themselves to sleep.
Happy White Day, Kyoko.
Happy White Day, Makoto.
